Duct Cleaning - Step by Step

At Lee Company, we train and certify our heating and air conditioning specialists to the highest standards of duct cleaning. Our technicians will inspect your ducts both before and after the following steps to ensure your heating and air conditioning system is in good health:

  1. If your air vents are in the floor, we’ll remove the registers (the covers on the air duct openings) and vacuum out any large pieces of debris.
  2. We then use a spinning, telescoping Rotobrush® tool to clean any debris stuck on the inside of each duct running to the rooms of your home.
  3. Next, we clean the main duct lines by cutting access holes every 25 feet (as needed) to insert an air sweep hose, which pushes or pulls debris back to a specialized vacuum connected to your heating and air conditioning system. After this process is completed, the access holes are patched, sealed, and reinsulated.
  4. We then clean and vacuum the blower compartments on the heating and air conditioning unit.
  5. Now that the heating and air conditioning unit is free of dust and debris, we sanitize the ducts by using a vaporizing fog machine.
  6. Lastly, we clean the grills by-hand and re-install to complete the job.
