Do my ducts need to be cleaned?
Not usually. Filters and coils typically prevent debris from circulating. Florida’s flexible ductwork can be damaged by aggressive cleaning. We do offer ULV sanitizing treatments if needed, along with indoor air quality upgrades like UV lights, air scrubbers, and ionizers.
