Our Process
Using duct cleaning trucks that create more than 12,000 CFM of vacuum force. To put that into perspective, a contractor-grade ShopVac is less than 300 CFM! With all that power, your system is put under a negative pressure, making the primary strength of suction focused at each register we open to work from.
Our duct cleaning technicians then use a high velocity of compressed air and agitation tools to break loose any build-up and push it towards a collection point, ensuring every inch of the ducts are cleaned. This controls and removes the debris source from your home or business, through our 8″ vacuum lines, to the containment cylinders mounted on our trucks.
We Clean it All
We understand the principle of circulation. Put simply, the return air becomes the supply air and vice-versa. Many cleaning companies don’t clean returns and, even worse, charge by the vent and trunk line.
Core Value cleans every duct and every trunk line at an honest price. Our goal is to improve your air quality, and this can only be done by complete source removal.
Core Value Duct Cleaning & Restoration technicians use specialized equipment that effectively eliminates hazards, to increase safety for your business or homes at an affordable cost!
- Return Ducts
– This is the starting point of our process and follows the flow of air through any system.
- Supply Ducts
– Each branch of the supply is cleaned.
- Registers
– Each register is cleaned by hand with microfiber rags and a botanical cleaning agent before being re-installed.
- Main Trunks
– This is where our 8″ vacuum hose is connected. Once we’ve cleaned the supply and returns, the last bit of debris gets removed from the trunk lines. Using agitating whips or rotary brushes and forced air, we remove everything out to our vacuum collection point.
- Air Handling Unit
– Included in our cleaning is an exterior air wash and hand cleaning – in addition to a general inspection of your furnace!
The average home collects between 40-60 lbs of dust, dirt and grime every year. Airborne allergens found in ductwork can circulate through your system 5-7 times every day.
Buildup in ductwork restricts airflow, leading to expensive energy bills and increases the risk of property damage. Failure to clean dryer vents causes more than 14,000 property fires annually.
Cleaning and/or sealing your HVAC system will remove contaminants, reduce allergens and upgrade efficiency, delivering lower energy costs.

FAQs
Is Negative Air Pressure Used?
Negative air pressure is the nationally recognized method for duct cleaning. Some states even outlaw companies marketing anything less.
If a company, regardless of their reputation, is using a RotoBrush – it’s a scam.
Are They NADCA Certified?
The National Air Duct Cleaners Association works closely with the EPA, OSHA
and several ANSI certified bodies to include the IICRC. The standards and
curriculum they set, are driven by a collaboration between those bodies and
the knowledge and experience from nationally leading contractors.
Nearly all Commercial and Industrial customers require NADCA certifications,
even to just bid on projects.
Do They Specialize in Air Quality?
Do you want your auto mechanic filing your taxes? How about your doctor remodeling your bathroom?
Let your plumber work on the plumbing, the carpet cleaner clean on the carpet and your HVAC contractor on the mechanicals.
Core Value specializes in Air Quality and Energy Efficiency and we’re pretty darn good at it.
Is Pricing Transparent?
Be wary of the $199 Duct Cleaners, or coupon mailers. It’s a gimmick that gets
their foot in the door to up-sell or overcharge for a low-quality service.
Another thing to look out for is the seemingly good deal, but the fine print
says “9 vents, 3 Returns and 1 Trunk Line”. It’s another up-sale focused
company isn’t concerned about your air quality, just making money.
