Ottawa Duct Cleaning Services

You’d be surprised! When it comes to duct cleaning, we’ve come across all sorts of items that don’t belong there – and we’ve heard stories around the industry of even stranger things. Coffee cups and cigarette butts are pretty common, for starters – these often get into the ductwork when construction crews are on site. Thanks to their carelessness and oversight, this debris stays in your home and, over time, becomes a detractor to your home’s indoor air quality. What have previous residents in your home left in the ducts, accidentally or otherwise? Could be anything from illicit drugs to wedding rings to love letters… the list goes on, and we’ve seen and/or heard of practically everything. If you’re lucky, maybe there’s money in those ducts!

Chances are, unfortunately, that there’s debris, garbage, particulates and/or pollutants. Don’t take the risk; contact us today and get a professional duct cleaning in Ottawa for superior indoor air quality.

Really, duct cleaning in Ottawa can be performed year-round. Some of this will depend on your particular goals and needs for duct cleaning. For those who suffer from allergies, springtime can bring more than its fair share of pollen and other particulates. If you’ve been opening your windows and noticing your allergies kicking in – even with the windows closed – it’s possible there are particles in your ductwork that are triggering your allergies. If you’ve been doing home renovation projects throughout the spring and/or summer, then you may want to get a professional duct cleaning in the fall – before it’s time to turn on the furnace. Haven’t had a duct cleaning in a while? – say a few years or more – we’d be happy to come out any time of year, even in that Ottawa winter, to make sure you get a proper duct cleaning and to help you and your family breathe cleaner air.

Dryer vents most definitely need to be cleaned. These can be one of the biggest fire risks in your home! Ottawa homeowners, landlords or property managers who do not clean their dryer exhaust vent can be subject to their dryer overheating, as there isn’t enough space for the hot air from the dryer to escape the home properly. Eventually, the heating element on the dryer could break. Dryer overheating can cause a fire. That’s why dryer vent cleaning is important. We offer dryer vent cleaning as part of our Ottawa duct cleaning services. Some signs that it’s time for a dryer vent cleaning include: Clothes not drying quickly as they used to; more time / more cycles needed to run the dryer; clothing is very hot when you take it out of the dryer; and/or it’s been a year or more since your last dryer vent cleaning.

Both situations call for duct cleaning. Let’s take new homes first. You’d think that a new home would be like a new car, right? If you drove a new car off the dealership lot, after all, your first stop wouldn’t be for a car wash or an oil change. So why should you hire us for duct cleaning in a new home? Well, as much as we’d like to say nice things about home builders in Ottawa, not all of their crews and subs are as careful around your home as you (or we) would be. We’ve seen all sorts of debris in the ducts of newly built homes and condos in Ottawa, from cigarette butts and newspapers to Tim Horton’s coffee cups and more. That’s so careless! Unfortunately, there’s no way for you to know what they’ve done… until you notice odd smells coming from the ducts, or you experience duct blockage that ends up costing you more on hydro bills and/or HVAC repairs. The same goes for home renovation – maybe not as careless, but still, all kinds of particulates and debris can end up in the ducts, from drywall chunks & dust to paint particulates and more.

For either post-construction or post-renovation, Ottawa duct cleaning is a great idea to help your indoor air quality. Contact us today!
