If you came across this article as a result of an internet search, you may have noticed there aren't a lot of search results for "furnace duct cleaning." It’s not a conspiracy but rather a matter of diction: the more common term is “air duct cleaning.” The process is also sometimes referred to as “HVAC duct cleaning” or “vent cleaning.” Furnace duct cleaning—or air duct cleaning—is the process of removing contaminants and debris from the ductwork associated with the HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) system. This ductwork is sometimes referred to as furnace ducts because they originate at the furnace—the heat source—and serve to distribute heated (or, in some cases, cooled) air throughout the building or home, exiting at the vents or diffusers.

What is HVAC Cleaning? HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) cleaning involves the removal of dirt, debris, and contaminants from the individual components of a building’s HVAC system, either in a residential or commercial setting. In a residential setting, these components would likely include the furnace (including the blower wheel), supply and return ductwork, evaporator coil (A-coil), etc. Commercial components cleaned would include the air handling unit (AHU) or rooftop unit (RTU), supply and return ducts, coils, VAV boxes, supply diffusers and return grilles, etc.
