You have scheduled professional air duct cleaning. Here is how to get your home ready so the technicians can work efficiently and the cleaning delivers the best possible results.
Clear Access to HVAC Equipment
Your air handler needs unobstructed access on all sides. Move boxes, furniture, or stored items that block the area around the unit. If your handler is in a closet, clear the space in front of the door. If it is in a utility area, create a three-foot perimeter.
Clear Access to All Vents
Technicians need to reach every supply register and return grill. Make sure furniture, rugs, curtains, or decorative items are not blocking any vents. If a heavy piece of furniture sits over a floor register, plan to move it before the technicians arrive.
Secure Pets
Keep pets in a contained area during the service. The negative air machines and agitation equipment can be loud and unsettling.
Plan Around the 7-Hour Window
Comprehensive cleaning addressing all 8 HVAC components takes approximately 7 hours. Most homeowners work from home or go about their day during the service — the technicians do not need constant supervision.
What You Do Not Need to Do
You do not need to pre-clean or vacuum. You do not need to provide equipment or supplies. You do not need to shut off the system.
