Local notes

Ducts in Los Altos homes

The common Los Altos job is a rebuilt two-story with two zoned flex-duct systems, often with construction dust from the build still in the runs. Each system gets its own negative-air connection and every branch gets an air whip. The original ranches have sheet metal that cleans conventionally.

We connect a negative-air vacuum to your main trunk line, seal the other openings, then work each supply and return run with air whips and rotary brushes so the dust moves toward the vacuum instead of into your rooms. The registers come off, get washed, and go back on. The collection drum gets opened in front of you.

Air and dust in Los Altos

Los Altos runs up into the foothills, and the oaks that give the town its character drop heavy pollen from March through May. The Los Altos Hills side sits in the wildland interface, and the 2020 CZU smoke sat over the foothills longer than it did on the valley floor. Homes that ran their systems through it pulled fine ash into both returns.

FAQ

Air Duct Cleaning in Los Altos: questions

How do you count vents in a two-system Los Altos home?

Every supply register and every return grille on both systems. A typical rebuild has two returns and 16 to 24 supplies. We walk it with you on the phone or on arrival and the count sets the price.

Can you clean the ducts in a Los Altos home with a finished attic?

Yes. Where the air handler is in a closet or a small attic access we connect the vacuum at the trunk near the unit. Runs we cannot see we still agitate from the registers.

Do you clean ducts in Los Altos Hills?

Yes, same prices. Long driveways and large homes change the time estimate, not the per-vent rate.

How long does air duct cleaning take?

Plan on 2 to 4 hours for a typical single-family home. A small condo can take 90 minutes. A large two-story home with two systems and 20-plus vents can take most of a day. We give you a time estimate when we confirm the vent count.

Do you clean the furnace too?

No. The $349 service covers the ductwork, trunk lines, plenums we can reach, and the register covers. The blower and evaporator coil inside the furnace are a separate job. We check your filter and tell you what we see.

What does a vent count as?

Every supply register and every return grille counts as one vent. A return is the large grille, often in a hallway ceiling or wall, where air gets pulled back to the furnace. Most homes have 1 or 2 returns and 8 to 14 supplies.

How often should air ducts be cleaned?

Every 3 to 5 years for most Bay Area homes, sooner after a remodel, a rodent problem or a heavy smoke season. There is no rule that fits every house. If you pull a register and the first foot of duct is clean, you can wait.
