How does the Norcross service process work, step by step?
Every Norcross 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 |
Norcross distribution buildings are cleaned around dock schedules. Crews start in the office and break-room systems while inbound trucks run, then move to warehouse trunk lines and heaters during the gap between shifts, keeping forklift aisles clear at all times.
What are the operational metrics for Norcross projects?
Typical Norcross 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 Gwinnett County and are used to build the schedule quoted to each client before work starts.
| Average vents cleaned per crew day | 60–100 vents |
|---|---|
| Typical project window | 1–3 days per building |
| Common building size serviced | 10,000–200,000 sq ft |
| Photo documentation per system | Before/after on every trunk, coil and diffuser |
What determines the cost of duct cleaning in Norcross?
Cost in Norcross 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

Norcross commercial duct cleaning — frequently asked questions
Can you clean a Norcross distribution center without stopping shipping?
Yes. We work around dock schedules, cleaning office and break-room systems during active hours and warehouse trunk lines between shifts, keeping forklift aisles clear and coordinating daily with the warehouse manager.
Do you provide documentation for audits?
Yes. Every Norcross project closes with dated before-and-after photos per system, scope and equipment logs, technician certifications and a written report suitable for insurance, customer or food-safety audits.
How long does a large warehouse take?
A 100,000 sq ft Norcross warehouse with unit heaters and high trunk lines typically runs two to three days with lift access, scheduled so only one zone is offline at a time.
What drives the price on an industrial building?
Duct height and lift requirements, linear footage of trunk line, dust load, number of heaters and air handlers, and whether work must occur off shift. All of it is itemized in the written quote.
