| Equipment | Class / model | Applied to |
|---|---|---|
| HEPA negative air machine | Phoenix Guardian / OmniAire 2200 class, 99.97% @ 0.3 µm | Source removal under negative pressure |
| Rotary brush system | Variable-speed air-driven brush, nylon and soft-bristle heads | Sheet metal trunks, branches and lined duct |

| Coil cleaning system | Low-pressure injection with EPA-registered coil cleaner | Evaporator and condenser coil restoration |

How does the Brookhaven service process work, step by step?
Every Brookhaven project runs through six phases: free on-site inspection, written scope, containment setup, source removal, coil and component cleaning, and documented closeout. Each phase has a defined time window so facility managers know exactly when systems are offline and when the space is usable again.
| Phase | Work performed | Turnaround |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Inspection | Interior duct photography, coil and plenum assessment, vent count, access review | 45–90 minutes |
| 2. Written scope | Fixed price, night-by-night schedule, insurance certificates, access requirements | Within 24 hours |
| 3. Containment | Zone isolation, floor and finish protection, HEPA negative air staged at the air handler | First 60 minutes on site |
| 4. Source removal | Rotary brush and air-whip agitation of trunks, branches, returns and plenums | Bulk of the shift |
| 5. Coil & component | Coil cleaning, blower wheel, dampers, diffusers and register faces | 2–4 hours per air handler |
| 6. Closeout | Reinstallation, wipe-down, after photos, access panel log and written report | Same shift |
Brookhaven mixed-use buildings share risers between retail and residential floors. Crews verify which tenant each branch serves before opening it, seal the branch during cleaning so nothing migrates into a neighboring unit, and log the riser layout in the closeout report.
What are the operational metrics for Brookhaven projects?
Typical Brookhaven projects are measured in vents cleaned per crew day, project window per air handler, and building size served. These figures come from Commercial Air Care field records across DeKalb County and are used to build the schedule quoted to each client before work starts.
| Average vents cleaned per crew day | 60–90 vents |
|---|---|
| Typical project window | 1–3 nights per building |
| Common building size serviced | 5,000–80,000 sq ft |
| Photo documentation per system | Before/after on every trunk, coil and diffuser |
What determines the cost of duct cleaning in Brookhaven?
Cost in Brookhaven is driven by measurable factors, not square footage alone. Commercial Air Care inspects the building at no charge, counts systems and vents, photographs the interior condition, and issues one fixed written price before scheduling. No pricing is quoted over the phone without an inspection.
- Number of air handlers, rooftop units or unit ventilators
- Total count of supply diffusers, return grilles and branch runs
- Duct material — sheet metal, duct board or internally lined
- Access height and whether lift or scaffold equipment is required
- Contamination level: ordinary dust, construction debris, grease or biological growth
- Coil condition and whether blower wheel cleaning is included
- Scheduling window — business hours, overnight, weekend or shutdown

Brookhaven commercial duct cleaning — frequently asked questions
Do you clean shared risers in Brookhaven mixed-use buildings?
Yes. We trace which tenant each branch serves, seal the branch while it is being cleaned so debris cannot migrate to a neighbor, and include the riser layout in the closeout report for building management.
Can you clean a Brookhaven medical suite without shutting the practice?
Yes. Suites are cleaned after hours or room by room behind containment barriers with HEPA negative air, so exam rooms are back in service the next morning with wiped registers and documented photos.
What equipment do you use?
HEPA-filtered negative air machines, rotary brush systems with variable-speed drives, compressed-air whip tools, contact vacuums and EPA-registered coil cleaners applied per label.
How is pricing determined in Brookhaven?
By air handler count, vent and diffuser count, duct access height, contamination level and scheduling window. A free walkthrough produces a fixed written price before any crew is booked.
