Air Duct Cleaning

Regular dusting and vacuuming only clean what you can see, but they don’t reach what’s building up inside your air ducts. Over time, dirt, dust, pet lint, and other contaminants can collect inside your ductwork and circulate throughout your property every time your HVAC system runs.

Schwickert’s offers an effective air duct cleaning process designed to loosen and remove debris directly from the ducts connected to your furnace. Removing buildup from your system can help improve efficiency, reduce unnecessary repairs, and support better indoor air quality.

Schwickert’s typically recommends having your air ducts cleaned every 3–5 years depending on system usage, property conditions, and maintenance needs.

Dryer Vent Cleaning

Over time, lint and debris can build up inside your dryer vent system, even when you regularly clean your dryer’s lint filter. When your dryer becomes poorly vented, clothes can take longer to dry, your equipment may experience more wear and tear, and buildup can create potential fire hazards.

Schwickert’s provides professional dryer vent cleaning to remove buildup and improve airflow through your dryer system. To help reduce safety concerns and maintain proper performance, Schwickert’s recommends cleaning dryer vents annually.

Chimney Sweeping

Your chimney plays an important role in safely venting smoke, gases, and carbon monoxide away from your home or business. Over time, creosote, soot, and other debris can build up inside your chimney and impact proper ventilation.

As an active member of the National Chimney Sweep Guild, Schwickert’s recommends having your chimney inspected and swept annually to help maintain safe operation and reduce the risk of dangerous buildup.

In addition to chimney sweeping, Schwickert’s also provides fireplace and wood stove sweeping, chimney cap installation, and damper repair services.

Hood and Exhaust Cleaning

Commercial kitchens generate grease, smoke, and other buildup that can collect inside hood systems, ductwork, and exhaust fans. Over time, this buildup can become a fire hazard and impact the overall cleanliness and safety of your kitchen operations.

Cleaning frequency depends on your cooking volume and the type of food preparation taking place. Schwickert’s works with restaurants, commercial kitchens, and food service operations to provide thorough hood and exhaust cleaning that helps maintain compliance with industry standards.

When Schwickert’s cleans your hood and exhaust system, you can expect a complete cleaning performed by experienced technicians using industry-approved methods. We focus on keeping your equipment, surfaces, and ventilation systems clean, safe, and operating properly.
