Duct Cleaning for National City homes, done by vetted San Diego County technicians. Most advertised duct cleaning is a cut-rate door-knocker that blows dust around for ten minutes and tries to sell you a new system. The pros we send use the NADCA-standard negative-pressure method: whole-system vacuum, agitation brushes through every branch, and before/after camera inspection so you can see the difference..
Central San Diego ducts have had decades to accumulate, and older flex runs in 1950s-70s homes often leak as much as they carry. The pros we send inspect for sealing and replacement candidates while they clean.

National City HVAC mix is dense urban residential (1920s-50s bungalows and 1960s-80s apartments along National City Boulevard and Highland Avenue), Mile of Cars commercial, and substantial Navy housing turnover near the 32nd Street base. Mini-split retrofits and small-tonnage commercial rooftop work dominate the call mix..

Done right and not too often, yes. EPA says ducts should be cleaned when there's visible mold, pest activity, or heavy dust. Every 5 to 7 years is typical for most homes. Every year is usually a salesman, not a technician.
Ask for NADCA certification, HEPA negative-pressure equipment (not a shop vac), and before and after photos or camera footage. A bargain special usually means a shop vac and ten minutes, not real equipment. The pros we send show up with the actual tools for a whole-system clean.
