Air Duct Cleaning in Arden-Arcade, CA

Air Duct Cleaning for Arden-Arcade homes

Arden-Arcade holds some of the region's most individual mid-century housing, and that individuality is exactly what makes the duct work here interesting. Arden Park, Sierra Oaks and Arden Oaks contain a great many custom and semi-custom homes from the fifties and sixties, frequently single-story with low rooflines, wide floor plans and the long horizontal duct runs that come with both. Low-pitch roofs mean cramped attic space, so the ducting was often routed wherever it would physically fit rather than where it should have gone, and in some of these houses portions of the system run under the slab. Del Paso Manor and the surrounding streets are more conventional tract housing of the same era. Across the whole area the systems have usually been replaced at least once while the ductwork around them never was.

Low-pitch mid-century rooflines leave very restricted attic space, so runs were routed for fit rather than performance and are frequently crushed or sharply turned. It is common here to find modern replacement equipment connected to original ducting that was never resized to suit it.
