Our Air Duct Cleaning Methods Explained
At Ripley Services, we use two primary, effective methods for air duct cleaning, each designed to ensure a thorough clean for your home’s HVAC system. We utilize a minimally invasive approach without the need to cut holes in your system:
(Preferred Method):
- Uses compressed air whisks and “skipper balls” to agitate fine particulate.
- Employs a centrally located HEPA vacuum source, creating a negative load to extract particles.
- Safest and most thorough clean for flex duct.
*Pro Tip – many companies do not offer negative air cleans due to the cost of the equipment even though it is typically a more thorough and safer clean.
(For heavily contaminated rigid ducts):
- Involves a rotating brush and vacuum system.
- Effectively removes debris from the ducts.
- Not ideal for flex duct seen in most Texas homes.

Avoiding Deceptive Offers
Beware of "too good to be true" offers like the "$99 Whole House Special." These often involve superficial cleaning, which is not effective. We often refer to these less than scrupulous offers as the “Blow and Go Special” where not much more than a shop vac and hand broom are used to dust off your vent covers and vent openings. THIS IS NOT AN AIR DUCT CLEAN. Any whole house pricing structures should be a RED FLAG. Choose Ripley Services for a genuine and comprehensive cleaning experience.

The Importance of Regular Air Duct Cleaning
- Improved Health and Air Quality: Over time, your ducts accumulate dust and particles that can impact air quality and health.
- Preventing Damage and Saving Costs: Accumulated debris can damage your ducts and result in higher utility bills and strain on your HVAC system.
- Mold Prevention: A substantial amount of particle build-up in your home’s ventilation system may harbor moisture, which in turn may become a breeding ground for mold, mildew and unsavory smells. Regular service by an HVAC company eliminates moisture issues and proper cleaning creates an environment inhospitable to mold growth.
While cleaning your home’s HVAC ducting may be a tempting proposition for many do-it-your-self homeowners, the process of properly accessing, handling, and cleaning HVAC air ducting is best left to experienced individuals that have access to required equipment, supplies and safety gear for a true deep clean.
A Closer Look at Mold in Air Ducts
Mold growth is a sign of a moisture problem and should be diagnosed and repaired by a licensed HVAC company. A clean targets fine airborne particulate. Stop the moisture! Stop the mold!
While duct sanitizers may kill minor surface mold, damage to duct work may exist and repair or replacement may be required. Ripley Services does not guarantee removal of mold from all HVAC components, duct work, vent covers or duct boots. We recommend repair or replacement of mold contaminated components and a complete system checkup by a licensed HVAC company. If we see mold during a clean, we can recommend qualified HVAC partners.
Risks with DIY: Inadequate cleaning can exacerbate mold problems, leading to damage and costly repairs.
