Clear Air Starts With Clean Ductwork
Professional duct cleaning services for homes in Boulder, Colorado.
If you live in Boulder and notice more dust settling on surfaces than usual, the problem may be hidden inside your ductwork. Years of heating and cooling cycle dust, pollen, pet dander, and construction debris through your ducts, where it builds up on interior walls and gets redistributed every time your system runs. You may also notice musty smells or reduced airflow from certain vents.
DNI Heating and Air starts by inspecting your ductwork to identify areas with dust buildup, blockages, or mold. After locating problem zones, they cut an access hole and use specialized tools to thoroughly remove dust, debris, and contaminants from the ducts. The process typically includes cleaning the air handler, blower motor, evaporator coils, and drain pans. Once the cleaning is complete, they inspect the ducts again to confirm cleanliness and proper airflow throughout your Boulder home.
If your vents are blowing visible dust or your home feels stuffier than it should, reach out to discuss duct cleaning for your Boulder property.
How the Cleaning Process Removes Years of Buildup
The cleaning crew begins by accessing your ductwork through strategically placed entry points, often cutting small access holes to reach areas where debris has accumulated. In Boulder homes with older HVAC systems, buildup can be extensive, especially if the ducts have never been cleaned. The team uses rotating brushes, high-powered vacuums, and compressed air tools to dislodge and extract dust, pollen, and other particles that have settled inside the ducts over time.
After the service, you will notice cleaner air coming from your vents, less dust accumulating on furniture, and improved airflow in rooms that previously felt stuffy. The blower motor and evaporator coils are also cleaned, which helps your system run more efficiently and reduces strain on the equipment.
The process does not include duct repairs or sealing gaps in ductwork, but it does address the debris and contaminants that affect air quality. If mold or persistent odors are present, additional disinfecting services may be recommended after the cleaning is finished.
