Yes—professional duct cleaning after a renovation is highly recommended, and in many cases, essential. Construction and renovation projects, even minor ones, can generate significant amounts of dust, drywall particles, sawdust, insulation fibers, and other debris. These fine particles don’t just settle on floors and furniture—they get pulled into your HVAC system and accumulate in the ductwork. Once inside, they circulate throughout your home or building every time the system runs, negatively affecting air quality and potentially damaging your HVAC components.
Even if your contractor did a general cleanup, much of the debris hidden in vents and returns can’t be reached without professional equipment. Renovation dust often includes silica, VOCs from paints or adhesives, and other harmful airborne particles that can linger in your system for months if not properly removed.
Professional post-renovation duct cleaning ensures that all construction-related pollutants are extracted from the duct system using high-powered vacuums, brushes, and HEPA filtration. Technicians clean the air ducts, registers, grilles, and HVAC components to remove all contaminants. This not only improves the air you breathe but also protects the performance and longevity of your HVAC system.
In summary, if you’ve recently completed a renovation, professional duct cleaning is a crucial step to restore clean, healthy air and maintain a dust-free living or working environment.
Renovation projects produce dust, drywall particles, wood shavings, insulation, and even chemical residues that can enter your HVAC system. Cleaning the ducts ensures these pollutants don't circulate throughout your home or damage your HVAC system.
Ideally, you should schedule duct cleaning immediately after the renovation is complete and before turning your HVAC system back on fully, to prevent contaminants from spreading.
Any renovation involving drywall, flooring, sanding, painting, or insulation work significantly increases airborne particles. Major remodels, room additions, or HVAC upgrades especially warrant post-renovation duct cleaning.
Yes. Fine particles like drywall dust and insulation fibers can trigger allergies, asthma, and respiratory irritation, especially in children, seniors, or those with compromised immune systems.
Absolutely. Debris buildup can clog filters, reduce airflow, strain the blower motor, and lower system efficiency. Cleaning prevents costly wear and keeps your system running smoothly.
