How does one clean an air duct?

You might be tempted to try to clean your air ducts yourself, but you won't be able to clean the whole duct by vacuuming out the vents. You also run the risk of stirring up the dust into the air and spreading the contents of the air ducts throughout the home. If you call a professional air duct cleaner, they will have the professional equipment and knowledge to remove the dust and dirt safely from the air duct system. Most reputable professionals use a negative pressure system combined with HEPA-filtering to collect all the particles removed. In addition, a proper air duct cleaning also involves cleaning the blower fan assembly on the furnace and the evaporator coil on the air conditioner. In some states you must be a licensed professional to service heating and cooling units.
