More than the vent cover

Wiping a register removes only what is visible. A proper air duct cleaning visit should address accessible supply vents, return vents, trunk lines, plenums, and mechanical components when access allows. Brushes, air whips, and negative-air equipment are used to loosen and remove debris.

What should be explained

Before work starts, ask which parts of the HVAC system are included, how registers will be protected, and whether the blower or coil can be reached. The answer should be specific to the property.

A clear scope

The useful result is a written scope matched to the system. It should not be sold as a medical treatment or as proof that every airborne concern comes from the ducts.
