A: Duct cleaning is the process of removing dust, dirt, debris, animal droppings and insects, and mold or other bacteria from your HVAC ducts. The process involves attaching a blower with an agitator brush to one end of your ducts and a vacuum at the other end.

The service typically includes cleaning the supply and return registers and cavities as needed.
