Air duct cleaning across the Bay Area

If it's been years since your ductwork was cleaned, or you're moving into a home with an unknown maintenance history, a full duct cleaning clears out the dust and debris that a filter alone doesn't catch. NorTech connects you with a background-checked provider who removes vents and registers, cleans the full duct run, and reinstalls everything before finishing.

Why a filter alone isn't enough

Your HVAC filter catches airborne particles as air passes through, but dust and debris that settled in the ducts before the filter was ever changed just stays there, recirculating with every cycle. A full cleaning addresses what's already accumulated, not just what's coming in going forward.

When duct cleaning makes the biggest difference

Homes with pets, recent renovation dust, or anyone with allergies tend to notice the biggest difference after a full duct cleaning, since those situations generate more debris than a filter alone was ever designed to catch. Your provider can advise realistic expectations based on your household's specific situation.

When to book air duct cleaning

Visible dust blows out of vents when the system starts

You or someone in the home has allergies that worsen when the HVAC runs

You're moving into a home with no known duct-cleaning history

There's been recent renovation dust or debris in the home

It's been several years since the ducts were last cleaned

30-Day Warranty

Backed by your provider’s warranty. If covered work fails, your provider makes it right — free.

Looking for a licensed HVAC contractor? Bigger jobs and anything that needs a permit go to a verified California C-20 contractor. See licensed HVAC contractor services.

Frequently asked

Air Duct Cleaning — common questions

Every few years is a reasonable baseline, more often after a renovation or if allergies are a concern — a provider can advise based on what they find.

Cleaning addresses dust and debris; a persistent odor may point to a separate issue like mold or a dead pest in the ductwork, which would be flagged during the cleaning.

Yes — you can book it as a one-time cleaning or set up recurring service on a schedule that fits your home.

The cleaning is covered for 30 days. If a vent was left dusty, a register was not put back, or a section that was in scope was missed, tell NorTech inside that window and it gets corrected at no charge. Dust that returns months later because of a worn filter or nearby construction is a maintenance matter rather than warranty work.

Most whole-home duct cleanings are completed in a few hours, depending on the system's size and duct layout.

This service focuses on the duct system; unit-specific maintenance is covered under the HVAC tune-up service.
