Air Duct Cleaning Company in Pacific Palisades, CA
Air duct repair in Pacific Palisades deals with more than loose connections. Our technicians regularly find flex duct that has collapsed, split, or pulled away from its collar in attics across the Palisades, and when that happens, conditioned air is being pumped into a hot attic instead of your living room. In the canyon and ridge neighborhoods, ash and ember char from wildfire events work their way into those damaged runs. We repair what we find, not just clean around it.

Why Pacific Palisades Homes Are Different
Pacific Palisades sits inside a high fire-severity zone. When Santa Ana winds push smoke and ash through the ridge-top and canyon neighborhoods, fine orange-brown particulate settles into return grilles and gets pulled through attic ducting, clinging to the interior walls of the system. That ash stays there long after the visible smoke clears, and if the ductwork has so much as a pinhole in a seam or a loose takeoff collar, it keeps seeping back into the house for weeks after a burn event.
The housing stock makes this more complicated. We work on mid-century ranch homes and 1960s and 70s canyon houses that still run original galvanized or flex-duct systems. Many of those older flex runs were installed with duct tape that has since dried out and let go. We also see large modern rebuilds with multiple HVAC zones and attic-mounted air handlers, where long duct runs snake through tight, hot attic spaces. Across every era of home here, the two things we find most often are disconnected joints and flex duct that has been crushed by tradespeople or storage. Pacific Palisades is the only service area where fire ash remediation is a routine part of the duct repair conversation, not an edge case.

Our Main Pacific Palisades Services
The two calls we get most from Pacific Palisades homeowners are for full-system air duct cleaning and dryer vent cleaning. One restores air quality after fire season, the other removes a documented fire risk.
Air Duct Cleaning in Pacific Palisades
After a Santa Ana event, ash doesn’t just sit on windowsills. It gets pulled through return registers and lodged in the ductwork, and because Pacific Palisades homes run heat so rarely, that ash can sit undisturbed for months. Our Rotobrush and Nikro systems use powered agitation and negative air pressure to dislodge and extract the fine particulate that ordinary vacuums miss. We also inspect the ducts as we clean, flagging any disconnected joints or crushed flex runs before they waste more conditioned air. Learn more about our Air Duct Cleaning in Pacific Palisades service.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Pacific Palisades
Built-up lint is a leading cause of dryer fires, and in Pacific Palisades the risk is compounded by the same Santa Ana winds that dry out already-arid canyon air. Long dryer vent runs, common in older canyon houses where the laundry room sits far from an exterior wall, trap lint quickly. We clean the full run from dryer to exterior termination and check that the termination flap opens freely. See how Dryer Vent Cleaning in Pacific Palisades works.
Air Duct Repair in Pacific Palisades
Air Duct Repair in Pacific Palisades usually means reconnecting flex duct that has pulled loose from its takeoff collar or replacing a run that has collapsed under its own weight in a hot attic. The 1960s and 70s canyon houses here were built with galvanized or early flex-duct systems, and after forty or fifty years of attic heat cycles, the plastic inner liner of flex duct stiffens, splits, and leaks. When ash from a nearby burn scar passes through that damaged duct, you’ll smell it in the house every time the blower cycles. We repair what we find, not just clean around it. If a section is too far gone, we replace it. For the full scope of this service, see Air Duct Repair.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning Company in Pacific Palisades
We usually schedule Pacific Palisades visits within two to three business days. After a major wildfire or Santa Ana smoke event, demand climbs, so we recommend calling before heavy smoke settles late in the season.
Interior duct cleaning and repair almost never require HOA approval in Pacific Palisades, since the work is inside the home. Exterior dryer vent terminations visible from the street may be regulated in some HOA-governed neighborhoods, and that’s worth checking with your board.
Yes. Fine ash and smoke odor compounds embed in the dust coating inside ducts, and when that dust is removed by powered agitation and negative air pressure, the smell stops recirculating. In severe cases, we may recommend an Aprilaire filter upgrade to capture fine particulates the standard filter misses.

What Pacific Palisades Customers Say
"Did the dryer vent while they were here for a small add on price. The dryer now finishes a load in one cycle instead of two."
- Vivian Park"My wife's allergies had been bad in this house since we moved in. It's been two months since they did the ducts and it's noticeably better. Not a miracle, but real."
- Kevin Tran"Older house, weird setup, previous owner did some creative things. He didn't sigh or roll his eyes, he just figured it out. Took him a while but he got there."
