Air Duct Cleaning FAQs

How often should I have my air ducts cleaned?

According to the National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA), residential properties should have their ductwork cleaned every two years, while commercial properties should be cleaned annually. If you or someone in your home has a severe respiratory condition, such as asthma or emphysema, we recommend cleaning every year. Ducts should also be cleaned when moving into a new home and after any renovations to remove construction dust and debris.

NADCA (National Air Duct Cleaners Association) certification ensures that technicians follow industry best practices and meet strict standards for safety and quality.

NADCA members have signed a Code of Ethics stating they will do everything possible to protect the consumer. Air duct cleaning companies must meet strict requirements to become a NADCA member.

Among those requirements, all NADCA members must have a certified Air System Cleaning Specialist (ASCS) on staff who has taken and passed the NADCA certification examination. Passing the exam demonstrates extensive knowledge in HVAC design and cleaning methodologies.

Mould testing identifies the amount of mould spores in your home’s air or surfaces. It’s especially recommended if you notice unpleasant odours, have had water damage, or suspect hidden mould growth.

Asbestos testing checks for contaminated materials that may be present in older homes. It’s crucial before disturbing insulation, ductwork, or walls during renovations.
