What Is Air Duct Cleaning?
Air duct cleaning is the process of cleaning the HVAC ducts in your home or office. These HVAC ducts and vents span across the entire building so forced air can circulate throughout the building. During the duct cleaning process, a cleaning method (such as a powerful truck-mounted vacuum) is used to remove dirt and debris from the air ducts that have built up and accumulated over time. Air Duct Cleaning should be done every 3 to 5 years. Experts recommend doing it more often for people who have pets or more traffic in their building as particulates can build up quickly in these environments.
Platinum Air Care’s method of duct cleaning uses powerful truck-mounted equipment to suction out the dust and debris after knocking and loosening the collection of dirt with strongly compressed airbrushes, whips, and other methods which are completely safe and do not damage your ducts.

Why Have Duct Cleaning?
There are many reasons to have duct cleaning. The most obvious is to have your home or office free of dust, debris, allergens, and other contaminants. A dirty HVAC ventilation system can lead to restriction; this can lower the efficiency of the heating and cooling equipment. In certain cases, depending on the environment; a dirty HVAC duct system can also lead to mold growth ~ this is not safe because these particulates can circulate through the air ducts and spread throughout the entire building.
Duct cleaning is recommended for various reasons, and is mentioned by the EPA (the United States Environmental Protection Agency), AHAM (Air-Conditioning, Heating and Refrigeration Institute), ASHRAE (American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers), the National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA), and others due to its ability to remove built-up dust, debris, contaminants, and more from your HVAC ventilation system.
In severe cases, blocked and restricted ducts can lead to hazards. Restricted and blocked dryer vents are the most common of all, and homeowners do not realize how dangerous this can be for fire safety and fire prevention reasons.
What Are Some Benefits Of Cleaning Your Air Ducts?
Energy Savings - Regularly cleaned HVAC vents mean the equipment is not restricted and does not have to work as hard.
IAQ (Indoor Air Quality) - Ductwork is a breeding ground for dust and can lead to an accumulation of dirt in your home or business. By keeping your ductwork clean, it will be easier to keep the environment clean and healthy.
Reduces Odors / Smells - Duct cleaning removes substances that have accumulated in your vents for multiple years, in many cases after duct cleaning and our eco-friendly sanitization spray; funny smells you may have noticed are removed!
Fire Safety - Regular dryer vent cleaning is recommended by FEMA (U.S. Fire Administration) as well as many insurance companies to help prevent possible fires. Dryer vent cleaning also is recommended if you notice your clothes are taking longer to dry compared to normal.
Example of Dryer Lint Dust Collection
Dryer vent lint accumulates rapidly, even with regular cleaning of the air filter on the dryer, lint particles find their way past the air filter and build up inside the dryer vent line. Over time this buildup can cause dryer issues and fire safety hazards.
When you have dryer vent cleaning, you may notice an improvement in your dryer’s performance and that your laundry once again drys as if the machine is new!
Consider Dryer Vent Cleaning
Our dryer vent duct cleaning services are great for prolonging the life of your washing machine, as well as reducing the likelihood of dryer fires.
2,900 home clothes dryer fires are reported each year and cause an estimated 5 deaths, 100 injuries, and $35 million in property loss. Dryer fire hazards caused by dryer lint are a possibility everyone should be aware of.
