About Our Pittsburgh, PA Air Duct Specialists


We are a local Pittsburgh, PA team of NADCA-certified (National Air Duct Cleaners Association) professionals. We are not a carpet cleaning company that "also" cleans ducts. This is our specialty. Our mission is to provide a comprehensive, source-removal cleaning that makes a real, measurable difference in your home's air quality.

This is the method required by the EPA and NADCA. It has two parts, and both are essential.

HVAC Components and Accessories




Part 1: Agitation (The "Scrubbing")


  • The Problem: Dust, dander, and pollen aren't just sitting in your ducts; they are caked onto the walls, full of static, and stuck.
  • The Solution: We use advanced "agitation tools"—like high-speed rotating brushes and compressed air "whips"—that are fed deep into your ductwork. These tools scrub and dislodge the caked-on debris from all surfaces.
  • The Scam: A "blow-and-go" company just sticks a vacuum hose in the vent. This does nothing to the caked-on debris.

Part 2: Extraction (The "Vacuum")


  • The Problem: Now that all the debris is loose, you have to get it out of the house without contaminating your living space.
  • The Solution: We connect a massive, truck-mounted or portable HEPA-filter vacuum to your main duct line. This creates an enormous amount of negative pressure, pulling all the dislodged debris, dust, and allergens completely out of your home.
  • The Scam: A "bait-and-switch" company uses a Shop-Vac, which is not powerful enough and will likely just pump the finest dust particles (the worst for allergies) right back into your air.A true, source-removal cleaning is the only way to ensure your ducts are left bare-metal clean.




Frequently Asked Questions


  • What is NADCA? NADCA is the National Air Duct Cleaners Association. It is the independent certification body that sets the standard for our industry. Always hire a NADCA-certified firm.
  • How long does this take? A real air duct cleaning for an average Pittsburgh, PA home takes 2-4 hours. If a company claims they'll be done in 45 minutes, it's a scam.
  • Will it help my energy bills? Yes. When your HVAC system components (like the blower and coils) are clean, your system can "breathe" easier. This improves efficiency and can lower your monthly bills.
  • Is it a messy process? No. Our process is self-contained. The negative pressure ensures all dust goes into our vacuum, not your home. We also use drop cloths and wear booties.
