Swiss Air Heating & Cooling, LLC can help you fix any issues with your ductwork in St. Peters, MO, and get your HVAC system working well again. Ducts can accumulate pet dander, fibers, human and pet hair, and contaminants. We recommend seeking professional HVAC ductwork cleaning every three to five years to protect your HVAC system and indoor air quality.
Also, air ducts need replacement when they become damaged by wear and tear or pests. Even without damage, sealing your ducts can help improve your HVAC system’s energy efficiency. It is important to seek a camera inspection if you suspect problems with your air ducts.
Great service.
They saved me from having to buy a full new unit. Ron and his team are awesome!

Checking your air ducts begins with visually inspecting all exposed ductwork components. We look for signs of cracks or corrosion that could indicate problems. Duct leakage detectors measure the air leakage from your ducts and can help us determine where there are leaks.
Duct repair sometimes involves patching but may also require removing duct sections and replacing them with new materials. We use a special mastic material to seal small openings to stop air loss. The air duct joints are the most likely culprits for leaks. We recommend annual air duct inspections and full re-sealing every ten years to prevent said leaks.
HVAC ductwork cleaning involves using equipment that dislodges the stuck-on debris from the walls of your ducts. Some equipment includes brushes, but often, vacuuming works best. With a high-powered vacuum, we create a negative pressure environment inside the ducts. That works as suction, siphoning out the debris to ensure the ducts are clean. Sometimes, we also need to sanitize the duct system after debris removal, especially if your ducts contain contaminants or mold.
Knowing the signs to look for when you need air duct services is helpful:
Increased heating or cooling costs
Decreased airflow
Musty odors
Dusty environment
Dirt or dark spots on the vents
Pest activity
Increased allergy symptoms
With proper maintenance, your ductwork should last as long as your HVAC system. Gaps, cracks, and holes can cause your HVAC system to work harder than necessary to heat and cool your home. Dirty ducts may also cause increased wear and tear, making your home more likely to feel uncomfortable. Taking action now can help prevent ongoing air duct damage that leads to more expensive issues.
