FAQs
What is truck-mounted vacuum duct cleaning and how does it work?
Truck-mounted vacuum duct cleaning uses a powerful vacuum system that is permanently installed in a service truck. Large, industrial-grade hoses are connected from the truck to your home’s HVAC ductwork. As our Kingston technicians agitate dust, lint, pet hair, mold spores, and other contaminants with compressed-air whips and rotary brushes, the truck’s vacuum creates negative pressure that pulls the loosened debris directly into a sealed collection unit outside your home. This method prevents re-circulation of particles indoors and delivers a deeper, more hygienic clean than portable equipment.
Why should I choose truck-mounted service over portable duct cleaning equipment?
Truck-mounted vacuums generate up to 12,000–16,000 CFM (cubic feet per minute) of airflow—several times more suction power than even the best portable units. This higher airflow: • Removes heavier debris that smaller machines can leave behind • Reduces cleaning time, meaning less disruption to your day • Keeps all dust and allergens outside the house, improving indoor air quality during the job • Meets or exceeds NADCA (National Air Duct Cleaners Association) standards for source removal. For Kingston homeowners coping with seasonally high humidity and winter salt dust, the extra power ensures a thorough clean.
How often should Kingston homeowners have their HVAC ducts cleaned?
NADCA recommends duct cleaning every 3–5 years for the average household. However, Kingston’s climate—cold, salty winters and pollen-heavy springs—can justify more frequent service if you: • Have family members with allergies, asthma, or respiratory conditions • Own pets that shed • Have completed a renovation or construction project • Notice visible mold, musty odours, or excessive dust on vents. Our technicians can inspect your system and recommend an ideal schedule tailored to your home and lifestyle.
How long does a typical truck-mounted duct cleaning appointment take?
For a standard 2,000–2,500-sq-ft Kingston home with one furnace, a complete cleaning usually takes 2–3 hours. Larger homes, multiple HVAC systems, or heavily contaminated ductwork may require 4–5 hours. The high suction of the truck-mounted vacuum speeds up debris removal, but we never rush: our crew carefully seals returns and supplies, protects floors, and verifies negative pressure before starting. We finish by cleaning the furnace plenum, blower, and AC coil compartment, then show you before-and-after photos.
Is there anything I need to do to prepare my house before the technicians arrive?
Just a few simple steps help our crew work efficiently: 1. Clear access to all supply and return vents—move small furniture, toys, or rugs. 2. Ensure a driveway spot for our vacuum truck within 50–75 ft of the furnace location so hoses can reach. 3. Secure pets in a separate room for their safety and comfort. 4. If possible, replace burnt-out light bulbs in the utility/furnace area so we can see clearly. 5. Inform us of any known asbestos-wrapped ducts or pre-existing HVAC issues. We bring protective corner guards, drop cloths, and shoe covers to keep your home clean.
How much does truck-mounted duct cleaning cost in Kingston and what does the price include?
Pricing is based on square footage, number of vents, and system complexity. As a guideline, most single-furnace homes in Kingston range from $350–$550 plus HST. This flat rate includes: • Full-system inspection • Sealing of registers and returns • High-pressure air-whip agitation and vacuum extraction • Cleaning of the furnace blower, plenum, evaporator coil housing, and accessible dryer vent (if requested) • NADCA-compliant sanitizing mist upon request • Before-and-after photo documentation.
