1968 house, ducts never cleaned. What came out was genuinely alarming. The crew was careful, covered everything, and the spring allergy problem we have had for years is noticeably better.

Air Duct Cleaning for Citrus Heights homes
Citrus Heights is dominated by dense single-story tract housing from the sixties and seventies, and that consistency makes the work here unusually predictable. Most of these homes were built to a similar template: a modest footprint, an attic-routed system with a central return in a hallway, and ducting that in a great many cases is still the original material. That puts a large share of the city's ductwork somewhere between fifty and sixty years old. The neighbourhoods have also matured, and the tree canopy around Birdcage, Sylvan and the Arcade Creek corridor is now substantial, which means a heavy seasonal pollen and leaf-litter load being drawn toward returns every spring. When we open a Citrus Heights system for the first time, the accumulation usually reflects the full life of the house rather than a few neglected years.
The sixties and seventies tract stock commonly still has its original ducting and a single hallway return sized for the era rather than for the equipment installed since. The mature tree canopy across Birdcage and the Arcade Creek corridor adds a heavy spring pollen load that shows up quickly in filters and return drops.

Process
How the visit works
Walkthrough and count
We count supplies and returns, locate the air handler, check filter size and note access. Scope and price are confirmed before work starts.
Camera inspection
A duct camera goes into the trunk so you can see the actual starting condition rather than take our word for it.
System under vacuum
The negative-air machine is connected at the trunk and the whole system is placed under suction for the duration of the job.
Register-by-register agitation
Rotary brushes and compressed-air whips work each branch so debris is driven toward the vacuum, one line at a time.
Return and blower compartment
The return drop, filter housing and blower compartment are cleaned, since this is where the heaviest loading is usually found.
Final camera pass and walkthrough
We re-photograph the same trunk sections, walk you through the comparison, and reinstall every register.

Questions
FAQs
Our house is from 1968 and we have never had the ducts cleaned. Is that a problem?
It is very common here and it is exactly the situation the camera inspection is for. Fifty-odd years of accumulation is a different job from a routine maintenance clean, and we will show you the starting condition before quoting the work.
Why do our allergies spike every spring?
The mature canopy through much of Citrus Heights produces a heavy pollen load, and a hallway return pulls it straight into a duct system that then recirculates it. Cleaning the system and correcting the filter fit usually makes a noticeable difference.
How long does a full duct cleaning take?
A typical single-system Sacramento home takes about three to four hours. Two-system homes, or homes with more than about twenty registers, usually run five to six.
Will you make a mess in the house?
No. The system is under vacuum the entire time, so debris travels away from the living space. Registers are removed carefully, drop cloths go down, and the equipment stays outside.
