A full system clean covers the furnace (blower, burners and cabinet) and every supply and return vent, trunk line and branch, and you can add the dryer vent to the same visit.

Nearly half of Port Moody's homes, 46% in the 2021 census, were built between 1991 and 2010, and nearly one in five is a row house or townhouse. The City's plan describes Heritage Mountain, Twin Creeks, Noons Creek, Mountain Meadows and Heritage Woods as relatively new neighbourhoods with a mix of single detached homes and townhouses.

What we see

What Comes Up in Port Moody Homes

Port Moody's housing ranges from the older streets of Moody Centre to the townhouses of Heritage Mountain and the apartments of Inlet Centre.

Townhouse dryer vents

Nearly one in five Port Moody homes is a row house or townhouse, and the City's plan notes townhouses mixed in with houses across Heritage Mountain, Twin Creeks and Heritage Woods. In a townhouse the dryer vent can run a long way to an outside wall or the roof, and lint builds up at every bend. We clean the whole line, on its own or with your ducts.

Houses from the 1990s and 2000s

46% of Port Moody homes were built between 1991 and 2010. A house that age has had 15 to 35 years of dust drawn through the same ducts, and the furnace blower collects its share. Doing the furnace and ducts in one visit stops a dusty blower from pushing dust back into clean ducts.

Glenayre, College Park and Moody Centre

The City says most housing in Glenayre, Seaview and College Park was built within the last 40 to 50 years, and Moody Centre's housing varies a lot in age. An older house has often been renovated along the way, and drywall dust from that work ends up in the returns. We clean the return side as carefully as the supply side.

Basement suites

In 2004 Port Moody changed its zoning to allow secondary suites in all single detached zones. When a suite shares the main furnace, two households' dust and cooking air move through the same ducts, so we clean the suite's vents in the same visit.

Services

What Each Service Covers

Every home is quoted on its own: the vent count, whether the furnace is included, and how we reach the ducts. Any of these can go on one visit.

  • Air duct cleaning

    Every supply and return vent, trunk line and branch, cleaned to NADCA's ACR Standard. A HEPA-filtered vacuum keeps the system under negative pressure while compressed-air tools loosen the dust, so it goes into the machine instead of your rooms.

  • Furnace cleaning

    We clean the blower motor, clear the burners and heat exchanger, and vacuum and wipe the cabinet and access panels. A dusty blower pushes dust straight back into clean ducts, so we suggest doing both in one visit.

    Furnace cleaning vs duct cleaning
  • Dryer vent cleaning

    The lint trap only catches part of the lint. The rest builds up along the exhaust duct, most of all at the bends. We clean the full run to the outside wall, on its own or with your ducts.

  • Bathroom fan cleaning

    Clears the dust out of the fan and its duct, so shower moisture leaves the room faster.

  • HRV cleaning

    We clean the parts of a heat recovery ventilator most homeowners can't reach: the core, the internal fans, the drain pan and the ducts that connect it to the house.

  • AC coil cleaning

    Removes dust and buildup from the AC evaporator coil to help cooling performance. If your AC or heat pump shares the furnace ducts, the duct cleaning covers its vents.

Add-ons: disinfectant fogging with Benefect Decon 30 (Health Canada approved, plant-based), a second furnace, crawlspace, attic or under-slab ducts, and mobile or double-wide homes. Furnace filters aren't included, but if you have one on hand, the technician can swap it in.

When to book

Signs It's Time

The usual guideline is a duct cleaning every 3 to 5 years. Pets, renovations and damp coastal winters can bring that forward.

Your ducts

  • Dust is back on the vent covers within days of wiping them.
  • The house smells musty or stale when the furnace starts up.
  • Allergy symptoms get worse when the heat runs and ease when you leave the house.
  • There's been a renovation since the last cleaning, or you've just moved in.
  • You have pets that shed, someone smokes indoors, or it's been more than two years.

Your dryer vent

  • A normal load needs more than one cycle to dry.
  • The dryer or the laundry room gets unusually hot.
  • You notice a burning or musty smell when the dryer runs.
  • There's lint around the outside vent hood, or its flap stays shut while the dryer runs.

Before we arrive

How to Get Ready

Most single-furnace homes take 3 to 5 hours, and you'll need to be home so the crew can reach every room.

  • Clear about a metre around every floor and wall register.
  • Make sure the furnace and its filter slot are easy to reach.
  • Keep pets in a closed room or outside. Open register holes are a hazard for small animals.
  • Point out any register that smells musty or any room with weak airflow.
  • Plan calls around the noise: the vacuum runs about as loud as a shop vacuum.

On the day

What Happens on Your Port Moody Visit

Here's the order a typical visit runs in.

  1. Walkthrough and setup

    The crew finds every register, checks the furnace area and connects the HEPA-filtered vacuum to the main trunk, which puts the whole system under negative pressure.

  2. Supply and return runs

    Each supply and return duct is cleaned on its own: compressed-air tools loosen the dust and the vacuum pulls it out. This is the longest part of the job.

  3. Furnace and main trunk

    The blower compartment, the area around the heat exchanger and the main trunk get cleaned, plus the furnace itself if it's on your quote.

  4. Registers and add-ons

    Every register comes off, gets cleaned and goes back on. Any add-ons on your quote, like the dryer vent or bathroom fans, are done now.

  5. Final check and walk-through

    We invite you to watch the final cleaning of the main trunk. The technician does a final visual check, secures every access point and goes over the work with you. You pay after the service.

Questions

Duct Cleaning in Port Moody: Questions

Get a quote
How much does air duct and furnace cleaning cost in Port Moody?

It comes down to the home: a townhouse with one furnace is a different job from a large house with two, and the vent count and access matter too. Fill in the form and we text and email a written quote, usually within the hour. You pay once the work is done.

Do you clean dryer vents in Port Moody townhouses?

Yes. Townhouses are quoted like any home, and a dryer vent can be booked on its own or added to your duct cleaning. If your complex has rules for trades, check them before the visit.

Do you clean the furnace too?

Yes. We clean the blower motor, clear the burners and heat exchanger, and vacuum and wipe the cabinet and access panels. A quote can cover the ducts alone or the ducts and furnace together.

My house has a basement suite. Can you clean both?

Yes. When the suite runs off the main furnace, both floors get cleaned in one visit. A suite with its own furnace goes on the same quote as a second system.

Is vent cleaning the same as duct cleaning?

The covers are part of it, but only the start. In a duct cleaning we take every cover off, clean it, and clean the duct run behind it, where most of the dust sits.

Do you work in Heritage Mountain, Ioco and the rest of Port Moody?

Yes. Our crews cover all of Port Moody from our office next door in Coquitlam. Send the quote form and we'll reply with availability, usually within the hour.
