Air Duct Cleaning for Davis homes
Davis is unlike anywhere else we serve because so much of its housing was built with energy performance as an explicit goal. Village Homes and the surrounding seventies and eighties development were designed around passive solar principles, with tight envelopes and deliberately modest mechanical systems. That is admirable design, but it means the ductwork has very little margin: when a run sags, a filter is oversized for its housing, or a return is partly blocked, the effect on comfort is immediate in a way it would not be in a leakier house. The city also sits surrounded by working farmland, so agricultural dust and seasonal crop pollen are a constant background load on every return. A significant share of the housing is student rental, where filters go unchanged for long stretches and maintenance history is usually unknown.
Passive-solar-era homes have tight envelopes and modest systems with little tolerance for restriction, so a sagging run or a poorly fitted filter produces an immediate comfort complaint. Surrounding farmland adds a persistent agricultural dust and pollen load, and rental properties frequently arrive with no maintenance history at all.

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
We own a rental near campus. Can you service between tenancies?
Yes, and it is a sensible time to do it. Rentals usually have no filter or cleaning history, so we camera-inspect first, clean what needs it, and give you documentation you can keep on file for the property.
Does the farmland around Davis actually affect indoor air?
It shows up clearly in returns and filters, particularly during harvest and through the spring pollen season. It is one of the reasons Davis homes often benefit from a shorter filter interval and a properly sealed filter housing.
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.
