Our process
How it works.
From homes to businesses, our duct cleaning boosts the air quality in your space. When you need professional air duct service, call Nichols Plumbing, Electrical, & HVAC. 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.

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.

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
Set Up 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.

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.

"We called Nichols for a second opinion on an HVAC issue. The first company said we had a coil leak. Samuel found the leak was a refrigerant line that just needed to be brazed. This company saved us nearly $20,000!"
