Fresh Air Return Duct Cleanout????

[nightfighter]

Larry, call a duct cleaning service. They have the equipment to do the whole run of return and supply lines. Did ours when we bought the house and they pulled eight garbage bags of crap out. We do it every two or three years. You will breathe easier knowing it is done too.

How did all that crap get in yours Ross??? I just plan on doing it myself......its just as simple as I said.......drop the aluminum sheeting down and vacuum up the mess! Replace the aluminum and done? I only have a run of about 10 feet that needs to be done?

Look at some of the pictures on the site I sent you. It is everything from dead skin, dust mites, pollen, etc. It gets there even in the cleanest of homes. And you are blowing warm air through all that crap into your living space. I was happy to have them vac and disinfect the trunk and supply lines.

What do they charge you?

500. cash. The better half insists on it being done before heating season. Don't forget, I have a full shop in my basement that contributes to the dust that gets in the lines, even with a Jet air handler that runs 24/7.
Also, get the filters for the registers at one of the box stores.
