Air duct cleaning removes the dust, debris, pet hair and allergens that settle inside your heating and cooling ducts.

Most Malibu homes take two to four hours, and you get before-and-after photos.

Air Duct Cleaning

Air Duct Cleaning done thoroughly, by the owner

Malibu ductwork works harder than most. Marine-layer humidity, salt air, canyon dust and smoke from nearby wildfires all settle inside the duct system, and every time your heat or AC runs it pushes that buildup back into your rooms.

Our owner has cleaned duct systems for more than 20 years, from beachfront homes on Malibu Road to hillside houses above Point Dume. We clean the whole system, not only the vents you can see, and we explain what we find before any work begins.

Call (310) 361-9813 any time; the phone is answered 24/7, and appointments run every day from 6 AM to 8 PM.

How often to clean air ducts in Malibu

Most homes need air duct cleaning every three to five years. Plan for sooner if you have pets, allergies or asthma in the house, finished a remodel, moved into a home with unknown history, or had smoke drift in during a wildfire.

Coastal homes often need it sooner than inland ones, because humid air helps dust cling to the inside of the ducts. If dust comes back on furniture within a day or two of cleaning, the ducts are a likely source.

How it works

What to expect

Every job follows the same careful steps.

Inspect
We look inside the registers, returns and accessible duct runs and show you photos of what we find before quoting.
Protect
Floors, furniture and the area around each vent are covered before any equipment comes inside.
Connect the vacuum
A high-powered vacuum is connected to the system so loosened dust is pulled out, not pushed into your rooms.
Brush and clean
Rotary brushes and air whips work through each supply and return run, boot and register.
Fix what is needed
Loose connections, torn tape or damaged sections we find are pointed out, with repair options before any extra work.
Walk through the results
You see before-and-after photos, and we answer every question before we leave.

Questions

Questions we hear often

How long does air duct cleaning take?

Most Malibu homes take two to four hours. Larger homes with several HVAC systems can take most of a day. We give you a time estimate after the inspection.

Will duct cleaning make a mess in my home?

No. We cover floors and furniture near each vent, and the vacuum keeps loosened dust moving out of the system instead of into your rooms.

Do you clean return ducts too?

Yes. Return ducts and grilles are often the dirtiest part of the system, so every cleaning includes them.

Who will do the work?
