Duct & Dryer Vent Cleanings
Proudly Serving the Greater Puget Sound
The dryer vents and ducts in your home, even though you never see them, are among the most important parts of an ongoing air filtration, heating and cooling system that keeps you and your family happy and healthy. However, few people realize how often duct cleaning needs to occur. Dirt from your clothing and your shoes, dust from dead skin and pets, and pollen from outside can start to block these ducts and vents over time and when these particles stop getting filtered is when you start to breathe them in.
Duct Cleaning Services
Your air ducts are the pathways that air travels through after leaving your HVAC equipment in order to reach the various rooms in your home. Each year, your air ducts handle tons and tons of air, along with the dust and other debris included with it. In many cases, this debris can become stuck inside air ducts and vents, resulting in reduced air quality and overall airflow. After a few years, you may find that your air isn’t as clean, your airflow isn’t as powerful, and you’re constantly dealing with issues like sneezing, watery eyes, or even household odors.
If you’re tired of dealing with air duct issues, turn to the professional duct cleaning team at Bob’s Heating & Air Conditioning. We use premium tools, state-of-the-art materials, and modern techniques to conduct a thorough cleaning of your air duct network. We service both modern sheet metal ducts and older duct systems alike, ensuring that the inside of your ducts are free of debris that reduces your quality of life.
Coil Cleaning
Have you ever thought about what the condenser coil on your outdoor air conditioning unit is really doing every summer? In extreme heat, it takes the heat from your house and pushes it outside into that already warm summer air and in cold weather it moves air across heated coils to warm it. To do this, it pumps a large amount of air into and out of the house. Imagine what happens if dirt builds up on the unit or if you allow plants to grow over the outdoor coils? The air flow has nowhere to go and the air conditioning unit only gets hotter, building up to the point of potential damage.
As a result, the cost of electricity to run the fan on your unit skyrockets as the lifespan of your air conditioner drops sharply due to overuse. To make sure this does not happen, Bob’s Heating & Air Conditioning provides regular coil cleaning to remove excess dust and debris from your air conditioning and heating coils. In addition to professional cleanings, we also recommend you pay especially close attention to the plants and dirt that build up on the outside of your unit, especially during the cooler months when it is not in use.
A thorough coil cleaning should be done at least every two years, depending on how often you use the air conditioner in the summer. For those that leave their air conditioner on from May through September, you might even need to have it cleaned annually to ensure the build-up is less severe.

Over time, no matter how clean you might think the air in your home is, your ducts will eventually grow dirty and need to be professionally cleaned. We strongly recommend having your ducts cleaned at least every two years in order to maximize the quality of your air. Waiting any longer than this can also have repercussions for your HVAC system as well; dirty ducts will reduce your air quality and lead to air filters that fill up faster. A dirty air filter can both reduce energy efficiency and even cause your HVAC system to break down.
