FAQs
Why should I choose eco-friendly sanitizers for my HVAC duct cleaning in Hillsboro?
Plant-based or botanical sanitizers effectively kill mold, bacteria and viruses without leaving behind the harsh chemical residues found in traditional disinfectants. This means better indoor air quality for your family, less impact on the environment, and no offensive chemical odors circulating through your vents. In a city like Hillsboro, where many residents value sustainability, using green products helps lower your household’s ecological footprint while still providing a thorough, professional clean.
Are the green sanitizing products safe for children, pets and allergy sufferers?
Yes. The solutions we apply are EPA-registered, food-grade or hospital-grade botanicals derived from essential plant oils such as thyme and citric acid. They are non-toxic, non-corrosive and emit no volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that can aggravate asthma or allergies. Once applied, the product breaks down into harmless organic matter, so you can re-enter the home immediately after service without worrying about residues on floors, furniture or pet toys.
What does your duct cleaning and eco-friendly sanitizing process involve?
1) Pre-inspection: We open access panels, photograph contaminants and measure airflow. 2) Source removal: A high-powered negative-air machine and rotary brush dislodge and vacuum debris from supply and return ducts. 3) Register and HVAC component cleaning: Grilles, the blower, evaporator coil and plenum are cleaned to prevent re-contamination. 4) Eco-sanitizing: We fog a botanical disinfectant through the entire duct system, ensuring a 360° contact time that neutralizes microorganisms on metal, flex or fiberboard surfaces. 5) Post-inspection and report: You receive before-and-after photos, airflow readings and maintenance tips.
How often should Hillsboro homeowners have their ducts cleaned and sanitized?
The National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA) recommends every 3–5 years, but in Hillsboro’s wet Pacific Northwest climate you may benefit from a 2–3-year interval if you: • run the heat pump or furnace most of the year • have household members with allergies • recently completed a renovation • notice musty odors or visible dust plumes. Rental properties and commercial spaces with higher occupancy or pets may also require more frequent cleaning.
Will eco-friendly sanitizers void my HVAC warranty or harm system components?
No. The botanical products we use are pH-balanced and non-corrosive, so they won’t pit aluminum coils, dry out rubber gaskets or degrade flex duct liners. Because they leave no film, they also won’t interfere with electronic sensors. Major HVAC manufacturers explicitly allow the use of EPA-registered disinfectants that meet these criteria, so your equipment warranty remains intact.
How much does duct cleaning with eco-friendly sanitizer cost in Hillsboro and what factors affect the price?
A typical single-family home (10–15 supply vents) ranges from $425 to $650, which includes mechanical cleaning, register removal, eco fogging and a post-service report. Variables that can raise or lower the final quote include: • number of HVAC systems and vents • length and accessibility of duct runs • presence of mold requiring additional remediation • need for dryer-vent or coil cleaning.
