Project description
The air ducts running through my house have not been cleaned since we moved in, and it is starting to show. Every time the heating or cooling system kicks on, I notice a faint musty smell and a fresh layer of dust settling on the furniture within a day or two. My son has seasonal allergies, and lately his sneezing gets noticeably worse whenever the system runs for a long stretch, which makes me think there is a real buildup of dust, pet hair and other debris inside the ductwork itself, not just in the visible parts of the rooms.
I want to be clear this is about the existing HVAC ductwork that already carries heated and cooled air through the house — the metal and flex duct runs, the vents, the return air grilles, and the air handler compartment. This is not a request to install a whole-house central vacuum system with its own separate tubing for vacuuming floors; that is a completely different built-in system and I am not asking for anything to be installed. I simply need the ducts I already have thoroughly cleaned out.
What I am hoping to get from a technician:
— Inspection of the full duct system before starting, with photos or a short explanation of what is found
— Removal of dust, debris, allergens and any visible mold or pet hair from supply and return ducts
— Cleaning of vent covers, grilles and the accessible parts of the air handler
— Use of proper negative-pressure or brush equipment rather than just blowing dust further into the house
— A short walkthrough afterward explaining what was done and any recommendations for the filter or system
