AIR DUCT PROS, INC. • FAMILY-OWNED SINCE 2006

Professional Air Duct Cleaning Equipment Matters.

Cleaning an air duct system takes more than putting a vacuum hose over a vent. Air Duct Pros uses professional vacuum equipment, brush augers and compressed-air tools to loosen and remove debris throughout the duct system.

OUR VACUUM EQUIPMENT

The NIKRO HP20 Gas-Powered Vacuum

At the heart of our air duct cleaning setup is our professional NIKRO HP20 gas-powered vacuum. The system is connected to the home's ductwork to create powerful negative pressure while our technicians work through the duct system.

Powerful Vacuum Professional equipment designed for air duct cleaning rather than a small portable household-style vacuum.
Negative Pressure The duct system is placed under negative pressure while debris is loosened from inside the ductwork.
Works With Agitation Brush augers and compressed-air tools help loosen debris so it can be pulled toward the vacuum system.

AGITATION EQUIPMENT

Brush Augers Help Loosen Built-Up Debris

Vacuum power is only part of the cleaning process. Our technicians use professional brush augers when appropriate to agitate the inside of the ductwork and loosen dust and debris that may be clinging to duct surfaces.

Why Agitation Matters

Simply creating suction does not necessarily loosen material that has accumulated inside the ductwork. Brush augers provide physical agitation while the duct system is under negative pressure, helping move loosened debris toward the vacuum system for removal.

The tools and cleaning method used can vary depending on the type and condition of the ductwork in the home.
PROFESSIONAL CLEANING TOOLS

Compressed Air Reaches Through the Duct System

We also use professional compressed-air tools to help loosen and move dust and debris through the ductwork while the system is under negative pressure from our NIKRO vacuum.

Loosens & Moves Debris

Compressed air helps dislodge loose dust and debris from inside the ductwork and directs it toward the vacuum system for removal.

Different Ducts Need Different Tools

We use brush augers and/or compressed air depending on the duct material, configuration and the area of the system being cleaned.

It's the combination that matters: powerful negative pressure from the NIKRO vacuum plus the appropriate agitation tools helps us clean beyond the openings you can see from inside the home.
MORE THAN JUST A VACUUM

How Our Equipment Works Together

Effective air duct cleaning isn't about one piece of equipment. Our cleaning process combines powerful negative pressure with tools designed to loosen and move debris from inside the ductwork.

1

Create Negative Pressure

Our NIKRO gas-powered vacuum is connected to the duct system to create powerful negative pressure during cleaning.

2

Loosen the Debris

Brush augers and/or compressed-air tools are used as appropriate to loosen dust and debris inside the ductwork.

3

Remove the Debris

Loosened material is pulled through the duct system toward the vacuum for removal rather than simply cleaning around the visible vent openings.

The goal: clean the duct system, not just the vents.

That's why our service includes the supply and return ductwork and main supply and return lines — with before-and-after photos so you can see the results.
