The Unseen Cost of Dirty Air Ducts

Your air ducts don't just circulate air, but they circulate everything in it. Any Build-up of dust, pollen, mold spores, and debris can reduce system efficiency and compromise indoor air quality. Dust and dirt in your HVAC system result in higher energy consumption, as the system is forced to work harder. It also ends up circulating contaminants throughout the facility.

At Mechanical Hygiene Services (MHS), with experience of more than  20 years, we help identify and eliminate these hidden pollutants through a certified HVAC cleaning procedure. We follow  NADCA (National Air Duct Cleaners Association) standards to ensure clean, safe air and longer equipment life.

What’s Really Hiding Inside Your Air Ducts

Since your air ducts are hidden, it's simple to overlook them. However, over time, a lot can end up trapped inside them. As your system continues to function, dust, lint, pet hair, pollen, and even small pieces of construction debris are silently accumulating.

If you have pets, their dander and fur get up in your vents as well as on the couch. Have you lately renovated your house or workplace? Your ductwork most likely contains that fine drywall dust and is recirculated each time the HVAC system turns on. Though people with allergies or asthma typically notice it first.

At Mechanical Hygiene Services (MHS), we follow NADCA-certified methods to ensure every part of your HVAC system, not just the ducts, gets cleaned thoroughly. Proudly Serving Connecticut, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts.

Our NADCA-Certified Cleaning Process

As an air duct cleaning and air duct sealing company with NADCA certification, we follow their stringent industry standards to guarantee that every job satisfies our clients’ needs.

Inspection & Assessment

We begin by examining your HVAC system and air ducts. We locate contaminants, obstructions, or trouble spots using cameras and diagnostic equipment so you can see exactly what's going on inside your system.

Source Removal Cleaning

Our professionals use HEPA-filtered negative air machines to remove dust, debris, and contaminants straight from your ductwork rather than just pushing them about. The only technique approved as appropriate HVAC cleaning is the source elimination method, which is what we do.

Agitation & Vacuuming

We remove all of the dust that has adhered to the duct walls using air whips and revolving brushes. After that, a sealed vacuum system collects the trash to keep it from returning to your air.

System Sanitization & Documentation

After cleaning is finished, we use certified disinfectants to sterilize the system and give before-and-after photos so you can see the benefits for yourself.
