Las Vegas duct cleaning — HEPA-vacuum every supply and return
Full residential duct cleaning with truck-mounted HEPA-filtered vacuum. Every supply and return register cleaned individually. Dust, pet dander, allergens and construction debris removed. Restores airflow efficiency.
Duct cleaning is often oversold — 'annually' is unnecessary for most homes and 'never' is too rare. The realistic cadence for Las Vegas homes is every 5-7 years.
Situations that call for more frequent cleaning: households with pets (annual filter changes only catch so much dander); post-renovation dust (drywall dust in ducts is common); families with allergies or asthma; homes with visible dust settling behind registers.
Situations where cleaning is less urgent: homes with high-quality filters (MERV 11+) changed every 3 months; homes with HRV/ERV pulling continuous fresh air; new construction with sealed ducts already installed.
During annual furnace tune-ups we check duct condition and recommend cleaning only when it makes sense. No upselling.

How duct cleaning works
How your Las Vegas HVAC install or service call works — four steps, no surprises
System inspection
Duct condition assessed. Register locations mapped. Any duct damage or code issues noted before cleaning starts. Written pre-clean report.
Register-by-register cleaning
Each supply and return register accessed individually. HEPA-vacuum hose inserted to remove dust from that branch line. Register grille cleaned and reinstalled.
Trunk line + return cleaning
Main supply trunk and return trunk vacuumed from access points. Blower cabinet cleaned. Coil (if accessible) inspected and cleaned.
Airflow verification
Post-cleaning airflow measured at each register. Comparison to pre-cleaning readings shows improvement. Written completion report.

When duct cleaning uncovers bigger issues
Duct cleaning sometimes reveals problems that a routine filter change wouldn't catch. Common finds: mold growth in ducts running through humid basements or unconditioned attics; rodent evidence in older ducts; asbestos-wrapped ducts (in homes built pre-1980); or damaged/collapsed duct sections restricting airflow.
For any of these, we stop the cleaning, document with photos, and quote separately for remediation. Asbestos removal requires a licensed abatement contractor (not us). Mold remediation requires HEPA-filtered removal and source moisture control. Rodent-damaged ducts often need section replacement.
Duct cleaning as a standalone service takes 3-5 hours; remediation adds days depending on scope. We coordinate with abatement contractors on your behalf. Related in Las Vegas: AC installation, AC repair, and duct cleaning.

Yes when ducts are actually dirty. Removes accumulated dust, pet dander, pollen and construction debris. Doesn't magically fix homes with active dust sources (unfiltered air intake, sub-standard filters, damaged ducts) — those need separate attention.
3-5 hours for average residential. Larger homes or those with mold/damage issues: 5-8 hours. Post-cleaning airflow verification adds 30 minutes.
Standard cleaning includes surface sanitizing with a low-VOC product safe for HVAC systems. Full disinfection with fogging is a specialty add-on for mold-remediation situations, quoted separately. Most homes don't need full disinfection.
After a basement renovation, drywall dust was everywhere in the ducts. They cleaned every register + trunk, dust settling stopped, air quality noticeably better.

Family of pets — the amount of hair pulled from our ducts was disgusting. Airflow improved measurably, we breathe easier.

Called for a duct cleaning quote. They inspected and told us honestly we didn't need one — just needed to change our filter more often. Zero charge for the honest advice.

Wife has asthma. Annual duct cleaning has helped visibly. They document airflow before/after so we can see the improvement.
