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.

Suzanne Parker
Our walk in freezer stopped working. Our usual repair guy was out with an injury and he recommended NM to help us out. I called them and spoke with Sierra. What a wonderful person. Very pleasant and attentive. My service guy was Michael. He came out, went over the inside and rooftop part of the unit. He was able to diagnose the issue(s), got us an estimate asap. Although parts did have to be ordered(it happens) which slows down the repair process a bit, repairs were made and she is workin like a charm. Thank You so much Nichols Mechanical for saving us. Our students thank you as well.
Sharon Clarke
I recently had Nichols Mechanical install 3 minisplits in my mobile home in Cottonwood. From the minute Michael walked in the door, I knew I was getting someone who knew what he was doing. That made me feel very confident in choosing Nichols Mechanical to install my equipment. I have seldom seen someone so throughly knowledgeable about the mechanics of a product. Usually you get a sales rep of some kind, not a true technician. I really enjoyed dealing with the entire crew at Nichols Mechanical, and already have them scheduled to do another job for me.
Isabella Greene
From the friendly and knowledgeable person who took my calls, Sierra, to the diligent and thorough technician Mike who serviced my unit, I had a great experience with Nichols Mechanical so far. They came across as honest and highly professional. Mike pretty much put my entire massive old unit apart and found all kinds of weirdness including a fried centipede in the wiring, and burnt out wires that he fixed. Although it was just a routine check-up job, and Mike had to leave in a hurry because his boss was insistently calling him to be at a different job so he didn’t even have a chance to check if the unit was working after he put it back together, I could see that he gave it all he had. I found out on my own that the unit is working better now and I am very pleased. I was looking for a new honest and reliable HVAC company and I believe I found it. Thank you, Nichols Mechanical!

Nichols put in our air condition unit and furnace. they did an amazing job, this was last year, this year we had them do a check up too make sure all is good. they are very prompt, and polite.
Anne Davidson
Kenny did a great job. Very attentive to mechanical and servicing needs. Also, drained and disconnected the evap cooler for winter. We’ve used Nichols Mechanical for five years now, going on six and highly recommend them to anyone and everyone.
Mal Craig
I am retired now but worked construction my whole life — carpentry, electrical, masonry — all except plumbing. So when I sprang a leak, Nichols sent someone out first thing Saturday morning. Most all other shops were closed. But what set this guy apart was their plumber really took pride in his work. Believe me, workers know workers, and this guy cared enough to do things right. Those small details become huge. Someone who just goes thru the motions and “punches the clock” his repair may leak again in a couple years. But with Nichols you can relax and know things are done right and will last. If I could give their plumber 10 stars I would. AA++ work! Thank you!
Velic Kael
Nichols Mechanical came out over the weekend when I had an emergency and my water heater went out on friday night. They were very responsive when I called and fixed my water heater the next day in the morning. Im very happy with their service and my new water heater works great.
Darlene Capawanna
Thank you for coming out on the weekend so quickly and fixing my clogged drain. Would recommend to anyone looking for great plumbing and pricing. They also gave me a price for water softener!
Henry MacVittie
Great team to work with. They were very professional and did a wonderful job installing our new heating and cooling system. I would recommend Nichols Mechanical for your heating and cooling needs!
T M
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!
