There's more to it than just the ductwork. Fan housings, cooling colis, and register covers are a prt of the cleaning process, too.
It is not likely that you will be able to rent a vacuum unit large enough to do the job. Vacuuming, brushing, manual agitation, and washing (fan housings, cooling/heating coils) are possible methods. If you can get to all of the ductwork, and can find a high-volume vacuum unit, you might do OK by just shaking or banging on ducts to loosen dust and debris, but brushing is really the way to go. The extensions and brushes, to my lknowledge, are just no available at rental outfits.
I'd hire it out.

We have an in the wall vacuum system and I have cleaned our dryer tubing by adding extensions to it.
We had the duct cleaning done a few years ago. I will say it did not last long. I was disappointed. I think it was $500.00 then.

I additionally like the swifter, it incredibly is fairly quickly to apply, and functional. one among my fashionable cleansing recommendations is going "wholesale". quite of cleansing one room at a time, I first conflict by way of each and every of the homestead putting issues of their places, then airborne dirt and dust the full homestead and then vacuum the full homestead. For me keeping issues of their places is the terrific tip. regardless of if the homestead isn't that clean it supplies a neat look.
