How our NATE-certified technicians deliver quality air duct cleaning results from start to finish.
KIC Refrigeration starts every duct cleaning in Larkfield-Wikiup, CA with a thorough inspection. We document the current condition of your supply ducts, return ducts, and trunk lines with photos, check for biological growth or contamination, and design a cleaning plan specific to your duct material and layout.
We use high-powered vacuum equipment connected to your trunk line combined with rotary brush agitation tools inserted into each run. This source removal method dislodges and extracts dust, debris, and allergens from the entire duct system.
Our Larkfield-Wikiup technician cleans the interior surfaces of your air handler including the blower wheel, blower housing, evaporator coil face, and plenums. These components collect the heaviest buildup and directly affect both indoor air quality and system performance.
KIC Refrigeration verifies every duct cleaning in Larkfield-Wikiup, CA with a final inspection and airflow test.

Get answers to the air duct cleaning questions our customers ask most often.
Professional air duct cleaning in Larkfield-Wikiup typically costs $300 to $600 for a standard home with a single HVAC system and 8 to 15 supply registers. Homes with multiple HVAC systems, extensive ductwork runs, or severe contamination from mold, rodents, or post-construction debris may run $600 to $1,200. Be cautious of companies advertising $99 or $149 whole-house duct cleaning specials — legitimate source removal cleaning requires a negative air machine, mechanical agitation tools, and 3 to 5 hours of skilled labor. Lowball pricing usually means a quick run-through with a shop vacuum that leaves most of the contamination in place. KIC Refrigeration provides honest, transparent pricing for genuine duct cleaning in Larkfield-Wikiup.
A thorough, professional duct cleaning for a typical Larkfield-Wikiup home with a single HVAC system and 10 to 15 supply registers takes 3 to 5 hours. Larger homes with multiple HVAC systems, extensive ductwork, or severe contamination may take a full day of 6 to 8 hours. This time includes setting up the negative air machine, individually cleaning each supply and return run with rotary brushes and compressed air tools, cleaning the blower housing and evaporator coil surface, and performing a final inspection. Companies that promise to clean an entire duct system in 1 to 2 hours are almost certainly not performing genuine source removal cleaning. KIC Refrigeration takes the time to do the job correctly at your Larkfield-Wikiup property.
Yes. Dust and debris buildup on the blower wheel, evaporator coil surface, and inside duct runs creates measurable airflow restriction. When airflow drops below the designed 400 CFM per ton, the system works harder and runs longer cycles to reach thermostat setpoint, consuming more energy and putting extra stress on the compressor. A heavily contaminated evaporator coil can reduce cooling capacity by 10 to 20 percent. Cleaning restores designed airflow through the system, reducing energy consumption by an estimated 5 to 15 percent depending on contamination severity. KIC Refrigeration cleans the blower wheel, blower housing, and evaporator coil surface in addition to all duct runs during every duct cleaning project at your Larkfield-Wikiup home for maximum efficiency improvement.
The National Air Duct Cleaners Association recommends professional duct cleaning every 3 to 5 years for most homes. However, several factors can shorten that interval for Larkfield-Wikiup properties. Homes with indoor pets that shed hair and dander, smokers, family members with asthma or severe allergies, recent remodeling or construction, or visible mold growth in or around duct registers should be cleaned more frequently — every 2 to 3 years. New construction homes should be cleaned before occupancy to remove accumulated drywall dust, sawdust, paint overspray, and construction debris that settles inside the ductwork during the building process. KIC Refrigeration inspects your Larkfield-Wikiup ducts and recommends a cleaning schedule based on actual conditions.
