That was so dusty! Looks much better now! How old is your house? I know my grandma’s ducts looked much worse then that, but that was 58 years of people smoking in her house… Those baseboard returns are bad for collecting dirt too!

sparkyks says:

I think it is Talyn that is known for videos with enclosing panning returns and joist spaces. with mastic by the gallon Time to subcontract it 🙂 I don’t know how bad the ducts are here. I suspect some leakage in attic.

I’ll second that! I think it is because we spend so much time/effort working on and thinking about other people’s equipment; it’s real easy to forget about your own stuff when you get home. We’re all proud of our work and we do that to the best of our ability everyday. And when we get home we just want to relax. Another Great video, my friend!

MegaRadio90 says:

Hey Fritz! Loved it & never boring. That sure goes a long way to lowering some resistance anything help’s!! Every person who’s worked on this gets the hair ball treatment lol lol !!!!! Very good hope people see this and get this stuff checked and or cleaned it is very important not only to the equipment but their environment & aids in helping keep your home cleaner!!!! 🙂

Man, they were just a little dusty!! Considering the return openings are right at floor level, I would say they are not that bad for close to 40 years!!

Before and after spin at the end is wicked!!

Hey Fritz!!

Fantastic job cleaning those funktified ducts brother!! That was next level!!

Great video as well! Really enjoyed it!!

scott harrison says:

If ya only lived closer I would of hooked you up with a free duct cleaning. Most techs don’t realize that ducts need to be cleaned every 4 years or so.

scott harrison says:

I see worse ducts than that 2 or 3 times a week. My rotobrush would of cleaned that in minutes.
