Duct Cleaning in Watertown
Professional Ventilation Service for Waukesha, Sun Prairie, Lake Mills, Oconomowoc & Surrounding Areas
Your air ducts play a bigger role in your home’s comfort than you might think. Every time your heating or cooling system runs, air travels through those ducts carrying dust, dander, and other airborne particles along with it. Over time, this buildup can impact your air quality and the performance of your HVAC system.
Since 1996, Carew Heating & AC has specialized in creating complete comfort systems for homes just like yours. We employ highly trained, licensed, and insured professionals who use specialized techniques to thoroughly clean your entire ventilation system, not just the vents. Restoring the cleanliness of your air ducts is a fundamental step toward achieving a truly healthy and efficient home environment.
Schedule your air duct cleaning in Watertown and beyond with Carew Heating & AC today by calling us at (920) 626-3962 or completing our online form. We may be available for same-day service!
Why Clean Air Ducts Matter
Think of your ductwork as the lungs of your home. If they’re clogged with dust and debris, the air circulating through your system carries those same contaminants into every room. This buildup not only affects your health, it also makes your HVAC system work harder, shortening its lifespan and driving up energy use.
Here is a list of common contaminants we remove during a professional duct cleaning:
- Excessive dust, lint, and dirt
- Pet dander and hair
- Pollen from outside sources
- Mold spores and mildew (often caused by condensation)
- Droppings and nests left by insects or rodents
- Construction debris and drywall dust left behind from renovations
- Chemical residue from cleaning products or paint
Removing these contaminants helps your system move air more freely and reduces the spread of particles that can trigger allergies or breathing issues. At Carew Heating & AC, we help restore healthy airflow so your home feels cleaner, fresher, and more comfortable.
What’s Included in Professional Duct Cleaning
A thorough duct cleaning goes beyond a quick vacuum job. It involves reaching deep into your system to clean every component that affects airflow. Our technicians follow a detailed process to make sure nothing is overlooked.
Here’s what our service typically includes:
- Inspection: We assess your ducts for buildup, leaks, or blockages.
- Agitation and cleaning: Specialized brushes and tools loosen and remove debris from duct surfaces.
- Vacuum extraction: High-powered equipment collects loosened dust and debris safely.
- System components: We clean supply and return ducts, registers, and accessible air handlers.
- Final testing: We check airflow and system operation to confirm a clean finish.
By removing years of accumulated dust and contaminants, we help your HVAC system work more efficiently and your home stay cleaner between cleanings. Regular duct cleaning can also complement other indoor air improvements like high-efficiency filters and dehumidifiers.
Clear Signs It's Time for a Duct Deep Clean
Most homeowners rarely see inside their ductwork, which makes it easy to forget about. But there are clear warning signs that it’s time for a professional cleaning. Paying attention to these indicators can help you prevent bigger problems like poor airflow or excess dust circulation.

It typically takes between four and six hours to clean ducts from start to finish. This number is about the average we see for a home with around 15 registers. Depending on the number of technicians present and the state of your HVAC systems, this time can vary widely. If time is of concern, let our technician know when he or she arrives.

Follow your instincts. If a price seems 'too good to be true', it probably is. Duct cleaning is hard, time-consuming work and, as with anything in life, you get what you pay for. This kind of price is either a 'come-on' that gets them in the door where they will up-sell you or a sign that the job won't be done very well. It's always better to deal with a company that you know and that will stand by their work. With Carew Heating & A/C, Inc.'s Satisfaction Guarantee, we're not happy until you are!

Most experts recommend cleaning your ducts every three to five years. But there are a few reasons you might want to do so sooner. We suggest getting it done as soon as you move in to a new home. This allows you to start things off on the right foot. It's also a good idea to get it done after any major remodeling. Otherwise, the dust and debris will come back to haunt you for years to come. Pet owners and those with asthma will also want to stay closer to the 3-year mark.

Are you tired of fighting dust and scheduling multiple duct cleaning visits in a short time frame? Then, you'll want to take some steps. First, you'll want to regularly vacuum and sweep your space. You should also use microfiber dusters where possible. To keep dirt from aggregating, you'll also want to avoid closing and opening individual ducts. Indoor air purifiers and humidifiers can also make it easier to keep your HVAC system tide.
