Duct Cleaning for Tecate 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..
Mountain ducts see pollen, occasional wood smoke, and sometimes rodent activity in attic runs. Inspection and sealing are often as important as the cleaning itself.

Quoted per home. Driven by the number of vents and returns, duct layout, and whether a dryer vent is included. That's the same approach across San Diego County, and the contractor confirms the number for Tecate before any work starts.
Tecate sits at 1,700 feet elevation at the Mexican border crossing along SR-188 with hot dry summers (95-105 degrees common), mild winters, and severe SDG&E PSPS exposure. Rural residential and small border-crossing commercial, with propane-to-heat-pump conversion as the dominant upgrade.. Mountain ducts see pollen, occasional wood smoke, and sometimes rodent activity in attic runs.
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.
