less-dust

Cleaner Living Spaces

When ducts are dirty, they blow dust onto your walls, furniture, and floors. After a professional cleaning, you’ll notice a dramatic improvement in how clean your home stays.

Our Air Duct Cleaning Process

From homes to businesses, our duct cleaning boosts the air quality in your space. When you need professional air duct service, call Nichols Mechanical.

Our licensed technicians use specialized tools with contact vacuuming to loosen and capture dust and debris—without reintroducing pollutants into your air.

To prevent particles like dust and pollen from spreading, we use HEPA (high-efficiency particulate air) vacuum equipment or systems that vent contaminants outside the building.

1. Request a Quote

Call or message Nichols Mechanical to get started on cleaner indoor air. We’ll collect a few HVAC details and send a quick, no-obligation quote outlining the benefits of our duct cleaning.

2. Book Your Appointment

After you receive your quote, we’ll book a time that fits your schedule. We’ll also send clear pre-service steps—like clearing space around HVAC registers—so our technicians can work efficiently with minimal disruption.

3. Arrival & Safety Prep

Our professional team arrives on time with floor and surface protection. We take every precaution to keep your home clean and safe—demonstrating our unwavering commitment to quality.

4. Remove HVAC Registers

We remove each register cover to gain full access to the ductwork. This key step prevents airflow problems and sets the stage for a thorough cleaning—even in hard-to-reach areas.

5. Setup the HEPA Vacuum

We place a HEPA vacuum at the return vent to capture dust, allergens, and other loosened contaminants. This prevents re-circulation and helps maintain cleaner indoor air.

6. Compressed Air and Scrub Ducts

Our technicians combine compressed air with brush agitation to dislodge dust, debris, and allergens from every section of your ductwork. This deep clean boosts HVAC efficiency and improves your indoor air.

7. Extract the Dust

Right after treatment, we use a high-powered vacuum to remove the loosened dust and debris from your ducts—an essential step that boosts airflow and leaves your home with cleaner, low-allergen air.

8. Clean the HVAC Equipment

We thoroughly service your HVAC system—acid-washing the coils and cleaning the heater, condensate drain, and drip pan. This deep clean boosts safety, extends equipment life, and improves indoor air quality for peak performance.

9. Reinstall Registers & Cleanup

Once the cleaning is complete, we replace all register covers to restore proper airflow and a clean, finished look. We then do a final sweep, removing any remaining dust and debris for a spotless home.

10. Final Walkthrough

We finish with a comprehensive final inspection of your HVAC system and all serviced areas. Then we review the results with you, answer any questions, and confirm you’re fully satisfied—underscoring our commitment to excellence.

A+!!! From the very beginning to the end this team was awesome! We had a new AC and Heating system installed in our home. They were the only company to suggest a dual system with a split level on one side and a duct system on the other side. I’m so grateful they said to do it this way!!! We quickly learned the living room wouldn’t have cooled off if it weren’t for the other system. We had multiple bids and all of them had 1 way they wanted to do it and they were terribly expensive too.

Nichols Mechanical knows what they’re doing and they will treat you well! Let me say this again, Nichols KNOWS what they’re doing and they will treat you well!

My wife and I both have small businesses here in town and Nichols will always be referred when our customers ask.

Thank you – you guys rock!

After my house filled with smoke and I called the fire department who came very promptly, I called Nichols Mechanical and they sent someone out the next day. Well, the service man they sent named Michael and he was a very thorough individual. I think mostly because he enjoyed his job and he loved figuring out puzzles. So he did a lot of work to my Cooler to get it back into shape and that did take a lot of work and I was amazed at how well that Cooler functions and almost as if it’s new. Michael took pictures of the cooler parts and explain the whole process to me and why it’s smoked. He did a fantastic job and he was extremely pleasant to talk to. He came back a few days later to do a decalcification and again Did a super incredible job. This is a very valuable person and employee.

They came same day to fix my kitchen sink and my gas pipe when everyone else offered to come next week. Very nice and professional technicians. Price was responsible and the waived the visits fee since I had two jobs on the same day. If you need anything done good and quick give them a call!

My A/C went out after a power outage, that happened on a Friday evening…the thermostat and blower were working, but the air was coming out warm. I was pretty concerned for my pets as the summer temps had been around 100 degrees…I made some calls to other companies, but did not hear from anyone, as it was the weekend…a friend recommended Nichols Mechanical and I took a chance on calling on Sunday, hoping to leave a message and have someone call me back Monday A.M…I was pleasantly surprised when Michael actually answered the phone. I was able to get on their schedule for Monday afternoon and Kenny called me to let me know that he was on the way. He was knowledgeable and friendly and answered any questions that I had. He efficiently replaced the capacitor and, very quickly, my house was on it’s way to being cool again! In future, if I have any heating/cooling issues, Nichols Mechanical will be the first call I make!

Fantastic job. Jose saved my life. I was flying out on Wednesday morning and my outside faucet was literally pouring out. He noticed it was going to the pipes under my sink which was a mess. There were other possible leak areas and he fixed everything beautifully. Great job and he was very respectful and courteous. He certainly knew his stuff. I can fly out with no worries. I have used Nichols on several occasions and highly recommend them. Thank you Nichols
George Edmunds
