Air Duct Cleaning Richmond
Keeping your home clean and air safe with over 10 years of experience
Air Quality Express provide air duct cleaning in Richmond, TX and surrounding areas.
Did you know?
Air ducts harbor various debris, germs, and bacteria, especially when they aren’t regularly cleaned. Allergens, irritants, mold, and fungi collect within the air duct, then circulate throughout your home. Exposure to these pollutants can lead to chronic health issues, such as asthma, heart disease, and even brain damage. According to CDC mold can cause many health effects.
Air Duct Cleaning Services
You know that you should replace your air filters every three months, and you might even clean the dust off of your vents when you do. But when was the last time you had your air ducts cleaned? If it’s been longer than three years, you might want to to give Air Quality Express a call.
All homes have a different environment, and many factors can influence a more serious need for air duct cleaning, including improperly installed air duct equipment, poorly sealed ductwork, presence of long-haired pets, and more.
Some companies provide a simple, surface level cleaning that looks aesthetically pleasing, but has little tangible benefits. Air Quality Express has a thorough air duct cleaning and maintenance process that can improve your overall air quality in various ways, including allergen removal, improved airflow, and better home hygiene.
Benefits of Air Duct Cleaning
Why does your home require a professional air duct cleaning? Here’s some ways you will benefit from our services, and why you should not attempt to clean your air duct yourself.
Allergen Removal from Home
Especially in humid regions like Texas, pollen, pet dander, and other microbes can proliferate in an air duct system and regularly circulate, which can be disruptive to those with sensitive respiratory systems. Thorough air duct cleaning can mean the difference between a perpetually stuffy nose and a good night’s sleep.
Improved Airflow, Decreased Energy Bills
Unfortunately, not all homes have properly installed and sealed air duct systems; these leaks in your ventilation can cause your heating and cooling systems to work harder, increasing energy costs. Air Quality Express will identify any problem areas and seal them, saving you money on your energy bill.
Better Home Hygiene
Claims of air duct cleaning being essential to better health can be dubious – unless there is a clear presence of mold in your air duct system. Our cleaning services will identify and eradicate mold, protecting you and those you come in contact with from airborne infections.
A Professional Company is Required
You may find yourself ready to clean your air ducts on your own, but must consider that unless you’re a licensed contractor, you may cause more harm than good. Our process is designed to carefully remove allergens from inside the ductwork without cycling them into your home; you run the risk of introducing even more dust into your breathing space without access to the same industrial-grade vacuums a professional has. Even worse, you may accidentally damage your ductwork if you attempt to clean it yourself, leading to far costlier repairs that could be avoided by just relying on experts.
Air Duct Cleaning Process
Curious about our air duct cleaning process? At Air Quality Express, we are completely transparent with you at every step, including before and after pictures included with your invoice.
Step One – Ventilation System Inspection
All service calls begin with an inspection, and our certified technicians start their inspection from the main ventilation unit in the attic. This starts with the plenum, the air distributor that feeds the rest of the ventilation system, and includes inspection of the ducts, coils, the return air box, the drainline drip pans underneath the coils, the blower, and the register covers. This should take 15-30 minutes, depending on the size of your ventilation system.

Step Two – Estimation and Scheduling
Depending on the findings of the inspection, the technician will provide an estimate for necessary services, and can perform the air duct cleaning either on the spot or at a later scheduled time.

Step Four – HEPA Vacuum Cleaning
Once the surface parts are cleaned, the technician will use a truck-mounted HEPA vacuum to remove any excess water and particles from the main attic unit; a rotor brush is then attached to the vacuum to dislodge particles from the plenum and the register boxes.

The Process
Our air duct cleaning method is efficient, comprehensive, and, most of all, safe.
We inspect and clean your complete HVAC system from top to bottom. There are two steps to removing build-up.
First, we scrape the ducts with a Roto-brush to loosen any build-up. Once the build-up is loose, our technician uses a HEPA vacuum to effectively remove it and cleanse the air duct. We use a truck-mounted HEPA vacuum to remove dust and debris from the air ducts. Because the build-up is no longer stuck to the duct, the air will be able to flow easier through the ductwork. As such, this enables the vacuum to suck out all the dust and debris.
Additionally, our process helps avoid unnecessary wear to your ductwork. The truck-mounted vacuum transports the dust not only out of your ducts but completely out of your home. So not only are your air ducts clean, but your indoor air will continue to remain clean.
