Benefits of  duct cleaning

Most people choose to have this service in order to have their ducts debris and dust-free. If this is important to you, furnace and duct cleaning is the right type of service. Professional furnace and duct cleaning also may help maintain a healthy environment by ensuring your ductwork is free of any mold or vermin.

In some cases may translate into energy savings by making the airflow of your ductwork much more efficient or for example by having your coils cleaned. The frequency of this cleaning service depends on the specific needs of the home such as household members, at-risk groups ( asthma, elderly, etc. ), size of ductwork, location, building use as well as the specific manufacturer’s recommendations.

Last, clean furnaces and ducts may help to create a better flow of fresh air by eliminating clogged or obstructed airflow.

Among the household benefits, the following are the most common:

  • May reduce wear and tear by cooling and heating appliances by reducing dust particles in the ductwork
  • May reduce slightly energy bills ( i.e. – clean coils )
  • May increase the intake of fresh air which can translate into health and well-being benefits thanks to fewer sources of allergens.
  • May reduce the number of cycling smells in the house.
  • and other benefits that might be dependent on specific circumstances such as people with allergies, pets, and other circumstances.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

FURNACE AND DUCT QUESTIONS

The answer greatly varies between homes. Ducts can become considerably dirty after a renovation for example or if a considerable amount of debris or dust accumulates.

Most people choose to have these services for personal reasons of having a clean furnace and ductwork free of dust and debris.

You should consider having the air ducts in your home cleaned if:

  • There is substantial visible mold growth inside ducts or on other components of your heating and cooling system.
  • Ducts are infested with vermin.
  • Ducts are clogged with excessive amounts of dust and debris and/or particles are actually released into the home from your supply registers.

Other factors such as clogged vents or dirty coils can be reasons to clean your ductwork in order to make sure the airflow in your home is good.

The average complete furnace and duct cleaning service for a detached home in Calgary is around $350.

Furnace and Duct Cleaning depend final costs depend on the following factors:

  • Number of furnaces in the house
  • Number of air vents, registers, and other vents
  • Dryer vent location
  • Air Conditioning 
  • Chimney, Central Vacuum and other house accessories and/or appliances

Our base package includes 1 furnace and 10 air vents, for more information click here.

Most cleanings will take approximately 45 minutes to 90 minutes.

The cleaning system that we use is our own Multi-Zone TM cleaning method. We maximize vacuum pressure and cleaning effectiveness by isolating the cold air side of the heating system from the hot air side during the cleaning process. In order to access these two parts of the system separately, we cut two 8” bypass holes – one above the heat exchange on the furnace for the hot air side and the other on the cold air plenum for the cold airside.

Next, we connect the vacuum hose from our powerful custom-designed truck-mounted cleaning unit to each of the bypasses in turn, allowing us to use maximum suction at each vent and zone of the ductwork. Using an exclusive, in-house developed tool called a Roto-Whip TM, we then clean each individual vent, the Roto-Whip TM provides full contact cleaning on the inside of the ductwork to loosen dust and debris, but unlike conventional contact methods such as brushing, it can’t damage or disturb dampers in the HVAC system which are essential to even airflow throughout the home.

We complete the ductwork cleaning by using the PredatorTM multi-headed whip to move dust and debris from the main plenums (section of the ductwork near the furnace) to our vacuum hose.

The same tool is then used on the heat exchange of the furnace to ensure a thorough cleaning down to the corners. Last of all the blower is removed, air-washed, and wiped down after which the parts are re-assembled before the system is tested.

Our technicians undergo a different set of training as per NADCA guidelines and COR Work Safety standards.

Our technicians are trained in-house as per our cleaning expectations: however, they are not gas fitters. That is not a qualification that is needed to perform furnace cleaning.

Technicians adhere also to:

  • First aid training
  • COVID-19 awareness ( as mandated by the province and federal government )
  • Daily and weekly briefings on a variety of things from industry updates to weather watches.

Truck-mounted units generate a better level of airflow; our units are powered by a large fan, which creates over 10,000 cubic feet per minute of airflow.

Our hoses are between 8 to 10 inches in diameter, in comparison to a normal vacuum hose, which is between 1.2 and 2 inches in diameter. Our higher level of airflow allows us superior suction throughout your ductwork to provide a more thorough cleaning. Portable units cannot provide the same level of airflow that our truck-mounted units do. 

In our research, we have found the whip system to provide “the best of both worlds” when it comes to cleaning.

With it, we are able to get the full contact cleaning associated with brush cleaning while offering the flexibility of pneumatic or high-pressure air cleaning methods to get around elbows and past dampers that are in your ducts.

Our testing has shown us that brush systems can often close dampers, stop at elbows, and in older homes where the ductwork may be more fragile, it can even cause it to come apart.

We recommend that the furnace and ducts are cleaned together as it is a forced air circulating system. That means that the air is moved not only through your vents and duct work, but through your furnace as well.

Cleaning one without the other would not be proper and would result in an incomplete and unsatisfactory job. If only one is cleaned and not the other, once completed and the furnace is turned on again it will just recirculate the dust from the soiled area into the clean area.

AIR VENT QUESTIONS

We must clean all of the vents attached to your system. If we did not clean all the vents, dust and debris from the uncleaned vents would continue to circulate through your home and your heating system, finding its way back to your newly cleaned furnace and quickly diminishing the benefits of having the system cleaned at all.

The ductwork for an individual is all connected so doing a partial cleaning of the system would not be fair to you as a customer. We also fully guarantee our work, which is something that we could not do if we only cleaned part of the system.

This is the standard industry base package - 10 air vents. Additional air vents are a way of telling us the size of the system and the additional work it might require, therefore there is an additional charge of $9.95 per additional vent.

It includes the average minimum amount of vents in a service job and it acts as a base rate for any duct cleaning job. Since all houses are different in size, shape, and systems there is no 'one package' fits all, but rather a base package to which additional charges are added according to the custom need of the house or building.

You will need to count all your vents in your home including all the hot air vents and cold air return vents located on the walls. Our technicians will go through the house and count the total number you have.

Left us a 5 star review

I had my ducts cleaned and the service was exceptional and thorough. Right from the moment they arrived, they were respectful of my home and kept everything clean and tidy. They were both kind and knowledgeable and went above and beyond to ensure the job was completed at a high standard. When Arsen noticed my furnace was extremely dusty he recommended some additional solutions like sanitizing and then possibly an air purifier. I have an asthmatic cat and these solutions worked great for me. Overall, I’m Incredibly happy with the service I received, I would highly recommend!

Guys today doing my furnace & vent cleaning were super friendly and did a great job! Will be using your services in the future.

My house’s previous owner hadn't cleaned their furnace for a long time. That's why I hired them to clean before I move in. The staff were nice, professional, and efficient. They really did a great job. I definitely recommend them to my friends Amy

Fast next day service. They did 18 vents, the furnace and the dryer vent on the roof in under an hour. Great work.

Cody and his team came in and swiftly completed the job perfectly. No extra “upselling” that I appreciated. Friendly and informative. Even gave me some great furnace hacks to help me with the furnace in my next house.

They came today to clean out our furnace and vents. It was a lovely experience. They were quick, respectful of our space and pups, and very professional. Will use them again.

Neil and Travis did amazing job, really good communication and did the job professionally and proficiently. Thanks for the help in cleaning our ducts and furnace

Amazing service and did a great job! Professional, knowledgeable and friendly! If you need your furnace and vents cleaned look no further! I’ll be a return customer for sure!

I have used other companies for furnace cleaning and I have to say, Alberta Furnace Cleaning is by far, superior in every way. They are organized, efficient and extremely friendly. I can highly recommend them. Thanks Cody and Trev for your great service. I appreciate your hard work! Nancy

We have had Alberta Furnace Cleaning come to our house several years ago to clean our dryer vents and they had done a great job. In the last week, our dryer kept shutting off mid cycle. We had other furnace companies come in since the last time we had Alberta Furnace Cleaning, and these companies really did not have the right equipment to clean a second story dryer vent effectively. Our dryer vent has different bends before exiting the house, and Alberta Furnace Cleaning has the best tools to dislodge any build up in the kinks of the dryer vent. Curtis, Thomas, and Jason were all very courteous, kind, and patient. They did a great job of cleaning the vent, and making sure the dryer was running correctly before leaving. They were very efficient workers and left the space exactly how they found it. It was an absolute pleasure having them by! Not all dryer vent cleaning services are the same, and I would highly recommend Alberta Furnace Cleaning. Both times their technicians have been by have been great experiences with high quality work. I will only be using them in the future.

Thanks for doing such a great job on our furnace and vents!! Fast and efficient!

Technitions were very puntual, efficient, courteous and knowledgable. I will use Alberta Furnace Cleaning again and highly recommend them.

I called to get a quote and was quoted much less than any other furnace cleaning company i called. We live outside Calgary so most companies charge a fee to come to us. They got us in right away and arrived on time! the gentleman that showed were knowledgable, professional and polite. The service was quick and the guys made sure to clean up and leave the space as they found it. We will definitely be recommending and using this company again

Justin and Kody were awesome. Great service from the two of them. They were mindful of pets and gave exceptional suggestions as to minor improvements we could make regarding everything furnace function, cleanliness, and longevity. We will hire these guys again. Very pleased with the reusable filter that we will be able to clean ourselves every 3months!

I had Arsen and James come to clean my furnace and ducts. They did a fabulous job. Very professional and polite. They were patient as I asked quite a few questions. I would highly recommend them. Thank you

Furnace/duct cleaning. Taylor and Clint were very pleasant and efficient. All went well. Thank you!

I’ve used this company before for carpet cleaning and they are always super professional and do a fantastic job. The 2 furnace technicians were super friendly and knowledgeable. It was great!

Alberta Furnace Cleaning is a very professional, well organized, quality home service provider in Calgary. They communicate with customers all the scheduling details of the job before service date. They sent multiple text messages for the reminder and confirmation. This is a professional way a company does their business. Not to mention how long they have been servicing Calgarians here, although this is my first time to hire Alberta Furnace Cleaning to do the furnace and HRV cleaning, their technican Tom and Mykola arrived on time with very good manners and nice greetings. They explained all the work arrangements to me before they started and Tom answered all my questions of their work. Now I have a good understanding of how and how often this should be done. Mykola and Tom worked together really well. IMPRESSIVE. I had an efficient, professional and outstanding cleaning service. I wish to have them back next time I call Alberta Furnace Cleaning. Kudos to Tom, Mykola and Alberta Furnace Cleaning.

Thomas and Jason were very efficient and professional. Answered our questions and explained everything well. Would recommend them highly for your furnace needs.

Fast, friendly and good quality duct and furnace cleaning from Kody and Justin
