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 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.

1. Request a Quote

Call or message Nichols Plumbing, Electrical, & HVAC 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.

Look up the definition of PROFESSIONAL. You will see this, “Someone who has all the hassles, obstacles and disappointing frustrations that everyone else has, YET continues to persist, does the job, and makes it look EASY.” along with a photo of Justin Sheppard, Lead Plumbing Tech. May 2026 was our second call for service in 2 years at our weekend cabin half-way to Flagstaff in Oak Creek Canyon. Without our being there he arrived on the next business day to use a snake to remove debris in the toilet line, but that didn’t solve the problem entirely. Air kept bubbling up. The 30-year-old toilet had to go. Justin and I exchanged texts, as I described what I did and did not want as a new toilet —in what is a small bathroom in a small cabin. He returned the next day with a new toilet that he figured would be just what I wanted. It was. Nevertheless the problem persisted: Air bubbles from shower, sinks and toilet. He returned the next day and analyzed the problem as being air in the waste line —solved by hosing into the vents on the roof and using an electric septic line drain cleaner from the clean-out trap just above the septic tank. Voila. Problem solved. Roots as well as pine needles and leaves that fall into the air vents on the roof. The next step was mine: screens covering the 2 vents, which I did.

June 30, 2026 Nichols HVAC is providing Wild Turkey Townhomes Air Conditioning Special Project service in conjunction with Roofing Contractors demo and new Roof installation in Sedona. Every Member of the HVAC Crew, Steve Lead, Benny HVAC Technician Support and another unnamed Technician (sorry) are providing excellent service and skills. They are lifting older Heat Pumps on the roof, providing power disconnects, evaluating the electrical supply, fabricating new stands, installing new bases, augmenting existing and new duct work and re-installing the Heat Pump around the new Roof being installed. Bravo! Shout out to all involved with this effort and their commitment to ensuring that expertise is employed to install, test, and monitor major Contracting scopes of work.

5/5 Stars – Highly Recommend! Nichols Mechanical did an incredible job on our new build, helping us bring our forever Sedona dream home to life! They handled the electrical, plumbing and the HVAC setup, and even took the extra time to come back & perfectly balance our HVAC air accordingly. Building a home always comes with a few twists and turns, but whenever there was a minor snafu, they were completely customer-forward. They were incredibly responsive and genuinely happy to make things right immediately. A huge shout-out to David, Mike, and Logan—they are nice, friendly guys who are absolute pros at what they do. If you want a team that cares about the quality of their work and their clients, look no further!

Can't recommend this company enough. You would think Michael has a masters in HVAC. Michael, has been, the most competent, easy to work with, and thorough professional i think i have ever seen. Michael was efficient in his work. Michael was thorough with his work. Michael was extreamly well educated, knowledgeable, amd competent with his work. He immediately found things that no other company (we've had several) even thought to do. Furthermore, he took notes and explained those notes in a way a 5 year old could understand. Michael is clearly a man of character and integrity. Dont waste your time with other companies that may not even send you a quote and give you a run-around. If you need HVAC done, personally request Michael. No-nonsense, professional that can get the work done properly, on time, and explained simply. If your considering getting HVAC work done, you have finally arrived to the one you can trust beyond a doubt. Michael, I hope your reading this, because I sincerely thank you for tremendous customer service, exemplary competence, and superb work. You clearly care about your work and remain a humble student to the trade. THANK YOU!

Nichols did a great job on our install and have been on time for our follow ups and seasonal checkups. Have recommend them to our friends.
Kent&Kathy Hellman
I had a breaker that wouldn’t reset and I had several important appliances on that circuit. It was evening and I contacted a 24 hour service. The technician spent until midnight trying to figure out what was causing the problem. He left unsuccessful. The next morning I called Nichols and their technician, after much persistence, was able to trace out the problem and brought the circuit back online. Reasonable billing considering the amount of time spent on the project. Thanks!

I had a car accident just after Cortes exit on Highway 69. I was scared to death when Steve from this company offered to put the spare on for me. How great is that? The towing company arrived so he didnt have to. I called and offered to do something but all he wanted was this review and it is my pleasure to do so. His character is a reflection of the Nicholas Plumbing.

Tech Dan Culver Came out quickly to check my air conditioner that had quit over the weekend. He was excellent at troubleshooting the issue and showing me what went wrong. There were other things to address, but he did not rush or push me to purchase anything. This is a local company that will help you get your issues fixed. Very ethical. Thank you.
