Duct Cleaning in Alpine, CA.

Duct Cleaning for Alpine homes, done by licensed San Diego County technicians. Most advertised duct cleaning is a $99 door-knocker that blows dust around for ten minutes and tries to sell you a new system. We use the NADCA-standard negative-pressure method: whole-system vacuum, agitation brushes through every branch, and before/after camera inspection so you can see the difference..

Alpine: Alpine HVAC work spans the rural large-lot residential along Tavern Road and Alpine Boulevard, the Alpine Heights and Rancho Palo Verde gated communities, and the equestrian-property residential through the eastern hills. Extreme inland summer heat (95-105 degrees common), real winter freeze conditions (overnight lows in the 20s), and severe SDG&E PSPS risk drive heat-pump conversion with cold-climate equipment and battery-backup integration.

Is duct cleaning really worth it?

Done right and not too often, yes. EPA says ducts should be cleaned when there's visible mold, pest activity, or heavy dust. Every 5 to 7 years is typical for most homes. Every year is usually a salesman, not a technician.

How do I know if a cleaner is actually cleaning?
