Services
Furnace Cleaning
Our furnace cleaning removes dust, allergens, and debris from heating systems to improve efficiency and air quality. Using high-powered truck-mounted equipment, we clear heat exchangers, filters, and blowers to reduce energy costs and fire risks. Regular maintenance extends furnace lifespan while ensuring safer operation for homes and businesses.
Air Duct Cleaning
Professional air duct cleaning eliminates pollutants like pet dander, pollen, and rodent debris from ventilation systems. Our 200-pound compressed air and 10,000 cfm suction method flushes entire duct networks, enhancing airflow and reducing respiratory irritants. Recommended every 2-3 years, this service optimizes HVAC performance and indoor air quality for residential and commercial properties.
Carpet Cleaning
Our truck-mounted hot water extraction system thoroughly cleans carpets without damage, drying within 2-6 hours. Using IICRC-approved eco-friendly products, we remove embedded dirt and stains while preserving carpet integrity. This service extends carpet lifespan and improves indoor air quality by eliminating allergens and bacteria from high-traffic areas.
Fireplace Cleaning
Regular fireplace and chimney cleaning prevents creosote buildup that causes 25,000+ annual structure fires. Our technicians use whip hoses and brushes to remove flammable deposits from chimney walls, inspect for code violations, and address draft issues. This safety-focused service ensures efficient wood-burning systems while protecting homes from preventable fire hazards.
Dryer Vent Cleaning
Dryer vent cleaning removes lint accumulation that creates fire risks and reduces appliance efficiency. Our vacuum brushes and compression tools clear vents to restore proper airflow, lowering energy consumption and extending dryer lifespan. This service addresses both indoor air quality concerns and safety hazards associated with clogged ventilation systems.

We needed our ducts cleaned at my business as my staff was experiencing many issues with allergies. I took over the business and noted that the HVAC had not been cleaned for many years. Aurora Edmonds came and cleaned the ducts quickly and it has made a huge difference! Would highly recommend using their services.

Aurora Edmonds and one other company came recommended by our HVAC company. The other company was closer to our area so we started with them. When company number one showed up they refused to do the work because there mice droppings in the crawl space under the house. We then promptly called Auroa Edmonds, they were able to get our job in quickly, were friendly, did a great job, and it cost less than the first company. We highly recommend them and will be using them again.
