Air Duct Cleaning Seattle | Fuzzy Wuzzy

air duct cleaning

Because ductwork is usually out of sight behind walls or above ceilings, maintenance of air ducts can be easy to neglect. Many people forget to have routine air duct cleaning service, which has the potential to cause long term problems with indoor air quality.

Fuzzy Wuzzy is the premier provider of duct cleaning in western Washington. Our trained and professional technicians perform thorough cleaning of air ducts, dryer vents and furnaces, eliminating contaminants in your ductwork and indoor air, like dust, mold and bacteria.

Duct cleaning also helps prevent excessive home dust and allergies by removing those irritants from the walls of your ductwork. You will literally breathe easier with clean ducts.

I should have had my air ducts cleaned years ago. Fuzzy Wuzzy was affordable, efficient and very informative. Great job!

how we clean air ducts

A Fuzzy Wuzzy technician(s) will show up to your home on time, in a Fuzzy Wuzzy branded vehicle.

2. Pre-Inspection

The technician will greet you and review the services you have requested, explaining our duct cleaning process in detail.

3. Setup

The technician will ensure that your home is prepared for air duct cleaning, ensuring that all vents and returns are accessible, and placing protective floor covers and corner guards where necessary.

The technician then carefully seals the vents and returns. Your air conditioning ducts are placed under negative pressure to maximize air flow.

A powerful vacuum device is connected to your main trunk line, which collects dirt, dust, mold and other contaminants that become dislodged during the cleaning.

6. Scrubbers Inserted

High pressured duct scrubbers are inserted into the ductwork to dislodge dirt and debris.

7. Trunk Line Re-Sealed

After completion, the technician will seal the access hole in your main trunk line with a metal access panel (done by NADCA standards).

8. Service Sticker

A Fuzzy Wuzzy Air Duct Cleaning Service Label Sticker will be placed on your system by the technician and the date of next service will be provided.

9. Review

The technician will review the work and answer any questions that you may have.

10. Clean Up

The technician will thoroughly clean up all materials, pack up, and leave your home fresh and clean.

dryer vent cleaning

Clothes dryers are a necessity in most homes, but poorly maintained or improperly installed vents can quickly become a fire hazard. In fact, the U.S. Fire Administration estimates that almost 3,000 fires are caused by dryers each year. The leading cause of those fires (34%) is poorly maintained dryer vents.

Dryer vents accumulate dust, fiber and lint. When this material builds up, it is highly flammable and can compromise a system’s airflow. A clogged vent causes the system to overheat, and potentially start a fire.

Fuzzy Wuzzy uses special equipment that is designed to clean dryer vents. If you notice problems, call our professional dryer vent cleaning company for help.

frequently
asked questions

Why is it important to maintain clean air ducts?

Over time, dirt, dust, debris, allergens and other harmful particles collect in your home’s air ducts. This strains the operation of your HVAC system, and your health, well-being and energy bills could suffer in the process.

What do I need to do to prepare my home for duct cleaning?

Make sure that there is space cleared around the HVAC system and the registers in your home. That’s really all you need to do. While the cleaning is being done, the best thing you can do is stay out of the way to ensure your safety and let the technician focus on the job.

How long will it take to clean out my air duct system?

Fuzzy Wuzzy technicians are extremely thorough. For a standard size home, an air duct cleaning job takes 2.5 to 4 hours to complete (2,000-2,500 sq ft.).

How often should I have my air duct system cleaned?

The National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA) advises cleaning of air ducts every 4-7 years. But if someone in your household has asthma, allergies, or respiratory concerns, or you notice higher energy bills or excessive dust, it can be more frequent.

Will cleaning my HVAC system reduce our home energy bills?

Research by the United State Environmental Protection Agency states that cleaning your HVAC system allows it to run more efficiently. Efficient systems operate by using less energy, lowering your monthly bill. A clean and efficient system is less likely to break down and will have a longer life span.

Will cleaning out my air duct system create a mess in my house?

No. Fuzzy Wuzzy technicians use a labor intensive cleaning method, making sure your entire system is cleaned and inspected prior to restarting your system. Make sure whatever company you hire cleans the “entire system.”

What kind of antimicrobial cleaning products do you use?

We only use green cleaning products to sanitize or disinfect your air duct system. These are environmentally safe for you, your kids and your pets and are effective against a wide range of mold and bacteria. Fuzzy Wuzzy uses the same products used in hospitals, schools, government, etc.

Will your quoted price change once you arrive and start the job?

No. All our work quoted over the phone or via email is the price you pay. If the duct cleaning job takes longer than expected or there are difficulties, we will not charge any additional fees.

How do I know if my HVAC duct system was cleaned properly?

After the cleaning is complete, a Fuzzy Wuzzy technician will allow you to visually inspect your system. You will be given full access to see that the job was completed to your liking.

How do I receive an estimate and schedule to have my home’s air duct system cleaned?
