• Arrival and Thorough Preparation: Our uniformed technicians will arrive promptly at the scheduled time. They will greet you, reconfirm the scope of work, and answer any initial questions. Importantly, they will carefully prepare the work areas, using drop cloths and protective coverings near vents and access points to safeguard your flooring and furnishings.
• Detailed System Inspection: Before cleaning begins, our technicians perform a crucial visual inspection of your HVAC system and accessible ductwork. This helps identify any specific areas of concern (like heavy debris accumulation, signs of moisture, or potential ductwork damage) and allows them to tailor the cleaning strategy for your unique Portland, ME system. They will discuss any pertinent findings with you.
• Powerful Vacuum Equipment Setup: The core of effective cleaning is powerful suction and containment. We connect a high-capacity vacuum collection system, often truck-mounted for maximum power or a potent portable unit with HEPA filtration, directly to your ductwork system, typically near the furnace/air handler. This establishes strong negative pressure throughout the ducts.
• Agitation and Meticulous Cleaning: With the vacuum running and creating negative pressure (pulling air inwards), our technicians work systematically through your duct system. They access each vent and use specialized agitation tools – such as rotating brushes designed for duct interiors, high-velocity compressed air whips, and skipper balls – to vigorously dislodge dust, dirt, lint, and other debris from all internal duct surfaces. This loosened debris is immediately sucked into the vacuum system, preventing it from entering your living space.
• Cleaning of Registers and Grilles: All supply registers and return air grilles are removed, cleaned thoroughly, and then reinstalled. This ensures these visible components are free of dust and grime as well.
• Optional HVAC Component Cleaning: As discussed during the estimate or inspection, if you've opted for it, technicians will also meticulously clean key HVAC components like the blower motor assembly and housing, and the indoor evaporator coil (where accessible), as these significantly impact air quality and system performance.
• Final System Check and Thorough Cleanup: Once the entire duct system and any selected components are cleaned, our technicians perform a final check to ensure everything is functioning correctly and reassembled properly. They then remove all equipment and materials, ensuring your Portland, ME home is left clean and tidy. We encourage a final walkthrough with you to ensure your complete satisfaction.This methodical, NADCA-certified process guarantees a level of thoroughness designed for maximum contaminant removal and optimal system benefit.
