Air Duct Cleaning

Air Duct Cleaning

When your vents start pushing dust or your dryer takes two cycles to finish, you need someone who’ll show up when they said they would and charge what they quoted. That’s the whole reason Locally exists. We vet every company in our family the same way Ward Selby did back in 1997: real local address, real owner name, real license you can look up before you ever pick up the phone. No call centers, no bait-and-switch, no disappearing acts. Just clean ducts, honest pricing, and a guy who answers his own cell.

What’s Included

Every air duct cleaning job starts with a camera. You watch the before footage together, you see the after, and you know exactly what you paid for. Here’s what our Locally family companies handle day in and day out.

Complete HVAC Duct Cleaning

This is the full system: supply and return ducts, registers, grilles, and the main trunk lines. Our crews run a Rotobrush or Nikro vacuum through every accessible line, agitating the buildup that a basic shop vac never touches. In older homes with flex duct, we’re especially careful around the joints, since that’s where dust cakes thickest and tears happen easiest. You’ll see it all on camera before we pack up.

Dryer Vent Cleaning

Lint past the trap is a genuine fire risk, and it builds up faster than most people think. We pull the dryer out, disconnect the vent, and run a spinning brush the full length to the exterior cap, then verify airflow with an anemometer. If your dryer’s taking longer than it used to, this is almost always why. Most jobs take under an hour, and we leave the space exactly as we found it.

Air Handler and Coil Cleaning

The air handler is where your system breathes, and a dirty coil chokes efficiency the same way a clogged filter does. We clean the blower assembly, the evaporator coil, and the drain pan, then check that the condensate line’s flowing free. This isn’t a upsell, it’s basic maintenance that keeps your system from working twice as hard for the same air.

Sanitizing and Odor Treatment

After mechanical cleaning, some homeowners want a microbial treatment down the lines, especially after water damage or if someone’s dealing with persistent mustiness. We use EPA-registered products through a fogger, not a spray-and-pray approach. It’s optional, priced upfront, and we’ll tell you straight if we don’t think you need it.

New Construction and Renovation Cleanup

Sheetrock dust, sawdust, and debris from remodels will sit in your ducts for years if it isn’t pulled out properly before you move back in. We see this constantly in additions and flipped properties. The builder’s “rough clean” doesn’t touch the HVAC, and running the system before a proper cleaning just distributes the mess through every room.

Commercial and Multi-Unit Systems

Small offices, churches, rental properties, and townhome associations. We scale the equipment to the job, coordinate around your hours, and document everything for property managers who need records for their files or their insurance.

Why Homeowners Choose the Locally Family

Ward Selby started this in 1997 because he was tired of hearing the same story: out-of-state plates, phone quotes that tripled at the door, numbers that went dead the next week. He wrote down four things a homeowner could verify in five minutes, a local phone number a person actually answers, an address you can drive to, the owner’s name and face, and a license number you can look up. Any company willing to publish all four could carry the Locally name. That list hasn’t changed.

Dusty Kovac put his name on the truck in 2008 and hasn’t looked back. His cell number is on every invoice because he wants you to reach the same person who quoted the job. He runs the camera himself, before and after, and his rule is simple: if he can’t show you the before photo, you didn’t need him. The 90-Day Done Right Promise means one call brings him back within ninety days if anything on an air duct or dryer vent job isn’t right. No voicemail maze, no dispatch layer, no explaining your situation to someone new every time.

His technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and trained on professional-grade Rotobrush, Nikro, Honeywell, Aprilaire, Abatement Technologies, and Guardsman equipment. But the equipment is only part of it. The accountability comes from knowing you’ll see Dusty again at the hardware store, at the gas station, at the game. That’s the oldest accountability mechanism there is, and it’s why we still do business this way.
