Duct Cleaning

Ductwork inspection:

Before cleaning the duct work, we inspect it!

There are some types of duct work that we recommend replacing or repairing before cleaning. Duct board or Fiberglass duct work should be inspected before cleaning. Duct work that is lined or insulated needs special attention and proper tools for cleaning.

Dryer vent cleaning and replacement:

Lint buildup will cause reduced airflow and overheating, this is why your clothes take more time to dry. Your result is more energy and your time in the laundry room. The worst case is dryer fires.
Dryer vents need to be up-to-code in New York State. No More Vinyl Flex Hose!

The John Betlem duct cleaning process uses a HEPA vacuum, brushes and unique tools to clean your dryer vent free from lint. The Dryer vent cleaning usually takes up to an hour depending on length. In the case that the vent can't be cleaned we can replace the dryer vent with metal pipe.

Bathroom Exhaust Duct cleaning:

Birds Birds Birds! Over years of experience we have noticed the number one reason for blocked bathroom fans are Birds nesting. Blocked vents prevent the removal of the humid air from your bathroom. When air flow slows down the fans and blades become dirty, increasing noise, energy, and possible mildew build up. John Betlem has the specialty tools to ensure proper airflow and check that the vents are actually vented outside.

New Construction or remodeling Debris:

This is why your house can always be dusty from day one. You spend thousands of dollars building your dream home or remodeling your older home. Why not spend a few hundred to keep the dust down? Most of the time when construction is being done they keep the furnace on and the drywall dust and hardwood floor dust can clog up the filter, blower, ac coils and the return duct work. After a big or little project is a great time to have John Betlem clean the HVAC system and ductwork.
