Certified Duct Cleaning for California Facilities
Breathe Cleaner AIR. Save energy. Stay Compliant.
Ensure your HVAC system performs at its best—with cleaner air, fewer issues, and a certified pro who knows your system inside and out.
Dirty or clogged ductwork isn’t just a nuisance—it’s a hidden liability.
Studies have shown that duct cleaning can save:
41% - 60% on fan energy and supply
10% - 46% more airflow compared to uncleaned counterparts
Over time, dust, debris, allergens, and even mold can build up, affecting your indoor air quality, HVAC efficiency, and health standards.
Changing filters and installing air purifiers is not enough.
In California, especially in schools and high-occupancy facilities, that buildup can become a compliance issue fast.
Not all duct cleaning is created equal. Skilled + Trained contractors go beyond surface-level fixes. They follow industry standards, use commercial-grade equipment, and ensure that your system is fully clean, sealed, and inspected—so your space runs cleaner, longer, and safer.
Ensuring Clean Air Inside and Out
Don't let a disaster have lasting impacts on your building's occupants.
It is recommended by the leading experts that your ducts and HVAC equipment are cleaned and decontaminated after events like wildfires.
Your IAQ Reports Are Only as Good as Your System
If your ducts are clogged or compromised, it won’t matter how advanced your filters are, your air quality metrics will suffer.
Energy Waste Adds Up
Dirty ducts force systems to work harder and longer. That means higher energy bills and more frequent repairs.

Under the California Mechanical Code (CMC) Section 603.9.2, ductwork must be leak tested in accordance with the SMACNA HVAC Air Duct Leakage Test Manual. All duct leakage testing must be performed by an individually certified technician certified through AABC, NEBB, TABB, or another approved equivalent agency.
Testing must include representative duct sections totaling at least 10% of the total installed duct area, as selected by the building owner or the owner’s designated representative. If the initial 10% fails to meet code requirements, testing must expand to 40% of the total installed duct area. If the 40% test also fails, 100% of the installed ductwork must be tested.
These requirements ensure duct system performance, energy efficiency, and compliance necessary for inspection approval and occupancy.
