Getting Ready for Your Air Duct Cleaning Appointment
You're all set! Here's exactly how to get your home ready before we arrive, and what to expect once we're there.
Your Day-Of Checklist
Short on time? These six things will get your home ready in a few minutes.
- Clear access to every vent and register we'll be servicing
- Furniture and rugs moved away from floor and wall vents
- Attic, basement, or crawlspace access unlocked where your main trunk line runs
- Pets secured in another room for the visit
- Someone 18+ home for the full appointment window
- Driveway or street parking clear for our service vehicle
How to Prepare Your Home
A little prep goes a long way toward a fast, smooth appointment.
- Clear every vent. Make sure our technician can reach every supply and return register throughout the home — nothing blocked or painted shut.
- Move furniture off vents. Slide beds, sofas, rugs, and toys away from floor and wall vents so we have full access to service them.
- Open up the trunk line access. Unlock or clear a path to the attic, basement, or crawlspace where your main trunk line runs.
- Secure pets. Even the friendliest dog or cat is safer — and less stressed — in another room while we're working.
- Plan to be home. We ask that someone 18 or older is present for the whole visit, so we can walk through any findings together.
- Make room to park. A little space in the driveway or on the street helps us unload equipment right away.
Pro TipJot down anything you've noticed — musty smells, weak airflow at certain vents, allergy flare-ups indoors — and mention it when we arrive. It helps us know exactly where to look.
What to Expect During Your Visit
Here's exactly how a typical appointment goes, start to finish.
Arrival & Walkthrough
Your technician arrives, introduces themselves, and asks a few quick questions about your HVAC system and anything you've noticed.
We Protect Your Home
Drop cloths go down around each vent and work area before anything else happens, keeping your floors and furniture dust-free.
Whole-Home Cleaning & Free Inspection
A NADCA-certified technician performs the whole-home duct cleaning with HEPA-filtered, negative-pressure equipment and a complete visual inspection of your system.
We Show You What We Find
If anything needs attention — mold, damage, a leak — you'll see it yourself, often with photos, along with a written estimate before any repair work begins.
Complete Cleanup
We pack up the drop cloths, wipe down every vent cover we touched, and leave the area as clean as we found it — or cleaner.
Payment & Wrap-Up
We take card or check on the spot, answer any last questions, and let you know when it's time to schedule your next visit.
Before-You-Arrive FAQs
A whole-home cleaning typically takes 2–4 hours depending on your system size and the number of vents and registers.
Yes. We ask that someone 18 or older is home from when we arrive to when we finish, so we can walk you through anything we find in person.
No. We use HEPA-filtered, negative-pressure equipment and lay down drop cloths around the work area before we start, and we clean up thoroughly before we leave.
We'll walk you through exactly what we found, often with photos, and provide a written estimate for any repair or remediation work. Nothing is ever added to your bill without your approval.
We accept card and check on the day of service. If you booked a flat-fee special, that price is what you pay — no added fees.
No problem — just call us at (615) 469-2754 as early as you can and we'll find a new time that works for you.
