Duct Cleaning Method Comparison: Air washing, air whips, power brushing & BrushBeast™

Air duct cleaning should improve the energy efficiency and comfort of the building. Eliminating even a quarter inch of dust from ductwork can boost a system's efficiency by 25% while also getting rid of dank, musty odors from the area. Read on to learn more about the most popular duct cleaning options!

Four standard air duct cleaning methods:

  1. Air Washing: This process sends high-pressure air through an air compressor and air nozzle, creating streams of pressurized air that can dislodge dirt and debris. This is followed by a vacuum system that collects the debris.
  2. Air Whips: This method takes air washing up a notch by blasting the ducts with pressurized air while agitating dirt and debris with "whips", which contact the interior ductwork to maximize the amount of dislodged material.
  3. Power Brushing & Air Washing: Power brushing uses a physical brush to mechanically remove dirt and debris from the ductwork. Direct physical brushing is the most thorough method of removing debris. It is followed by proper air washing, which helps remove small particles and dirt that have been loosened.
  4. BrushBeast™: Our team uses BrushBeast™ to effectively clean air duct systems. The Rotobrush is easy to use and designed with maximum power so that our specialists can remove even the heaviest of dirt and buildup with additional hose lengths of up to 52 feet to get hard-to-reach spots.

Benefits of BrushBeast™

BrushBeast™ is the most powerful air duct cleaning system available. The machine is made of four powerful vacuum motors and a brush motor that can easily handle even the most difficult air duct cleaning project, while still safe to use with any kind of air duct system, including flex ducts.
