Your HVAC system circulates air through your ducts 5–7 times a day. If there’s dust, debris, or mold in those ducts, you’re breathing it. Hytek uses truck-mounted negative air equipment — not portable shop vacs.

The EPA and NADCA say duct cleaning is NOT always necessary — and we agree. Here are the legitimate reasons to do it:
If none of these apply, a good filter and regular filter changes may be all you need. We’ll tell you honestly whether duct cleaning will help your situation.
How often should ducts be cleaned?
Every 3–5 years is a common recommendation. More often if you have pets, smoke indoors, have completed a renovation, or have family members with allergies or asthma.
Does duct cleaning improve air quality?
In cases with actual contamination (mold, debris, infestation), yes. For routine dust accumulation in a well-maintained system, the improvement is modest. We’ll give you an honest assessment based on what we see.
How long does duct cleaning take?
3–5 hours for a typical Denver Metro home. Larger homes or heavily contaminated systems take longer.
We’ll assess your system and give you an honest recommendation.
