Air Duct Cleaning Pickering

Pickering’s housing reads like a timeline running north from the lake. Bay Ridges and West Shore, on either side of Frenchman’s Bay, are mostly bungalows, backsplits and semis from the 1950s to the 1970s, with a few converted cottages near the water. North of Highway 401, Liverpool, Amberlea, Highbush, Brock Ridge and Village East filled in from the 1970s through the 1990s with two-storey detached homes and townhouses. Duffin Heights and the new Seaton community in north Pickering are still being built, condo towers are rising near Pickering Town Centre and the GO station, and the hamlet of Claremont keeps its older rural homes.

Each part of town gets dirty in its own way. Close to Lake Ontario, summer humidity is part of life, and in damp basements we sometimes find return ducts that smell musty when the system starts; the moisture source has to be dealt with first, and we tell you plainly when that is the real issue. In the 1970s to 1990s homes the dirt is mostly age: decades of dust, pet hair and renovation debris packed into the return trunk and around the furnace. In Seaton and Duffin Heights it is construction dust, drawn into the returns while the house was finished and topped up by lots still being built nearby. Homes along Highway 401 and Kingston Road also pick up fine road dust.

Our technicians clean vent by vent with a truck-mounted negative-pressure vacuum and brushing, with before-and-after photos on every package: Basic covers the supply side, while Comfort and Luxury clean the full supply and return system. Our office is at 4949 Bathurst Street in North York, about 40 km west of Pickering by Highway 401 or Highway 407, and both Pickering and Ajax are inside our regular service area, so there is no trip fee and the total is confirmed by phone before we book. We are family run, a CNADCA member, and we post our duct cleaning prices so you can compare before you call.

Dryer Vent and Furnace Cleaning in Pickering

Pickering dryer vent cleaning covers every layout we see in Durham Region: short basement runs in Bay Ridges bungalows, main floor laundry rooms in many of the homes north of the 401, and upstairs laundry in a lot of Duffin Heights and Seaton builds, where the line runs through floor joists to an outside wall. We clear the line to the exterior hood with high-pressure air tools, usually in 45 to 90 minutes, and check that the outside flap opens freely. Our dryer vent cleaning is $280 for a main floor or basement dryer, $320 for a second floor and $480 for an attic run, confirmed after a brief inspection. In humid summer weather a half-blocked vent is easy to spot, because one load starts taking two cycles.

Our furnace cleaning in Pickering and Ajax can be added to the duct visit, so a dusty blower does not refill clean ductwork. The Luxury package includes the furnace blower compartment clean and sanitizing of the ductwork with Benefect, a natural product. Adding a full furnace cleaning or a dryer vent cleaning, each priced separately, to the same visit is the simplest way to have the whole air system done at once. We clean only, with no part repairs, gas work or safety certification, and anything that looks unsafe is photographed for your licensed HVAC technician.
