Air duct cleaning across the Bay Area

If it's been years since your ductwork was cleaned, or you're moving into a home with an unknown maintenance history, a full duct cleaning clears out the dust and debris that a filter alone doesn't catch. NorTech connects you with a background-checked provider who removes vents and registers, cleans the full duct run, and reinstalls everything before finishing.

Why a filter alone isn't enough

Your HVAC filter catches airborne particles as air passes through, but dust and debris that settled in the ducts before the filter was ever changed just stays there, recirculating with every cycle. A full cleaning addresses what's already accumulated, not just what's coming in going forward.

When duct cleaning makes the biggest difference

Homes with pets, recent renovation dust, or anyone with allergies tend to notice the biggest difference after a full duct cleaning, since those situations generate more debris than a filter alone was ever designed to catch. Your provider can advise realistic expectations based on your household's specific situation.

When to book air duct cleaning

Visible dust blows out of vents when the system starts

You or someone in the home has allergies that worsen when the HVAC runs

You're moving into a home with no known duct-cleaning history

There's been recent renovation dust or debris in the home

It's been several years since the ducts were last cleaned

30-Day Warranty

Backed by your provider’s warranty. If covered work fails, your provider makes it right — free.
