Our ventilation services in Montreal

Here's what we can do for you. Each service includes a documented inspection and a full report.

Duct cleaning in Montreal

This is our flagship service. We thoroughly clean your entire air distribution network: main ducts, secondary branches, plenums and air returns.

How it's done:

We start with an HD camera inspection to see the actual condition of your ducts. Next, pneumatic rotary brushes and air whips are used to loosen dust, debris and sticky build-up. Everything is vacuumed by a HEPA system (truck-mounted or portable) that captures 99.97 % of particles 0.3 µm and larger.

If leaks or poorly sealed joints are found, they can be plugged and leak-tested to optimize your system's efficiency.

Why it matters:

Your ducts accumulate dust, pollen, pet hair, construction residues - sometimes even mold if moisture has infiltrated. All this circulates in the air you breathe.

Good cleaning improves air quality, reduces allergens, optimizes the performance of your HVAC system and can lower your energy bill.

When to have your ducts cleaned:

In general, it's recommended that residential homeowners have their ducts cleaned every 3 to 5 years. If you've just renovated, had a flood or are experiencing persistent odours, now's the time to call.

For commercial environments - especially kitchens and sensitive environments - annual cleaning is often necessary to comply with HACCP or insurance standards.

Ventilation system decontamination in Montreal

When simple cleaning isn't enough, we turn to decontamination. This service is designed to eliminate biologically active contaminants such as mold, biofilms and bacteria.

When do you need decontamination?

After water damage, flooding or sewer backup. If you see traces of mold near your grilles or in your plenums. If a musty odor persists even after a thorough cleaning. If a family member suffers from allergies or worsening respiratory problems at home.

What we do:

We start by taking biological samples, if necessary, to identify the type of contamination. Next, Health Canada-certified antimicrobial agents are applied, portable UV-C disinfection is used, and controlled fogging is performed to reach all internal surfaces.

You'll receive a full decontamination report - useful for insurance purposes and for your peace of mind.

Our products are safe. We use approved solutions, with residue-free options suitable for families with children and pets. We ventilate properly and respect drying times before you move back in.

Ventilation odour elimination in Montreal

A musty, musty or burnt smell coming from your air vents? It's rarely just a question of a dirty filter.

Odours can come from mould hidden in the ducts, accumulated dust on the heat exchanger, clogs in the condensate drain pan or even small dead animals trapped in the system.

We find the source and eliminate it. Sometimes it takes a complete clean-up. Other times, targeted decontamination is all it takes.

Wall unit and heat pump cleaning in Montreal

Your wall-mounted (mini-split) units and heat pumps deserve regular cleaning - not just a house filter rinse.

What we clean:

Evaporator coils, often covered with sticky dust and biofilm. Condensation tray and drain, to prevent overflow and odors. Filters, which are disinfected or replaced depending on their condition.

After cleaning, we run a performance test to make sure your unit is cooling or heating as it should.

Result: Improved seasonal efficiency, reduced unpleasant odours and recovery of original performance. Your electricity bills will thank you.

How often? We suggest an annual inspection and annual or biennial cleaning, depending on usage. If you use your heat pump year-round, cleaning once a year is ideal.

Dryer vent cleaning in Montreal

It's a service that's often overlooked, but can literally save lives. Lint builds up in the flue, reducing airflow and creating a real fire hazard.

We remove everything: compacted lint, plugs, debris. Clear the outside damper, check the draught and inspect the joints for leaks.

Signs that it's time:

Your dryer takes two cycles to dry a normal load. The top of the dryer becomes very hot during use. You smell something burning. The outer flap no longer opens when the dryer is running.

Recommended frequency: Once a year, or as soon as you notice a loss of efficiency.

Furnace cleaning in Montreal

Your furnace works hard during the Montreal winter. Regular maintenance ensures clean combustion, prevents carbon monoxide leaks and extends the life of your components.

What we do:

We clean the heat exchanger, brush the burners, vacuum with a HEPA system and check the combustion and safety devices.

Good furnace maintenance improves energy efficiency and reduces the risk of breakdowns in the middle of January.

Central system cleaning in Montreal

If you have a central heating and air-conditioning system, we take care of the whole thing: ducts, furnace, air-conditioning unit, plenums, air returns.

It's a complete procedure that ensures that every component is working properly and that the air circulates without obstruction.

Air exchanger cleaning (HRV) in Montreal

Air exchangers (HRVs - heat recovery ventilators) are essential in well-insulated homes. They renew indoor air while recovering heat.

But if the core and filters are clogged, efficiency drops and stale air remains inside.

We disassemble, clean the core, change or clean the filters and check the connections and drains. The result: fresh air coming in and controlled energy consumption.

Bathroom fan cleaning in Montreal

Bathroom fans are often overlooked, but they play a key role in evacuating humidity and preventing mold.

When clogged, they become noisy, inefficient - and sometimes even dangerous.

Disassemble, clean the impeller and motor, degrease and disinfect the short duct. You'll be back with a quiet, efficient fan.

Complete ventilation inspection in Montreal

Not sure what you need? We offer a free, no-obligation full inspection.

We examine your ducts with an HD camera, assess the condition of your HVAC system, identify potential problems (leaks, clogging, contamination) and give you a report with clear recommendations.

You then decide whether you want to proceed - we never push to sell unnecessary services.

Our process - clear, secure, documented

Here's how we work at Vortex Air. No mystery, no surprises.

Free inspection

We always start with a visual inspection and, if necessary, with an endoscopic camera. We want to see the actual condition of your system before we suggest anything.

2. Written quotation

You receive a detailed quotation with the scope of work, the options available (standard cleaning vs. decontamination) and our recommendations. It's all in writing - no gray areas.

3. Preparation and containment

We seal air vents and protect floors and furniture. If decontamination is necessary, we create negative pressure to prevent recontamination of other rooms.

4. Mechanical cleaning

Rotary brushes, air whips and a HEPA vacuum system are used to remove all dirt, dust and debris.

5. Further treatment

Depending on the diagnosis, an antimicrobial treatment is applied or UV-C disinfection is used to eliminate biological contaminants.

6. Verification and validation

We carry out flow tests if necessary, take photos after cleaning and provide you with a full report.

7. Follow-up and warranty

You receive a service certificate and maintenance recommendations to maximize the life of your system. If something goes wrong, we come back and fix it - that's our satisfaction guarantee.

Equipment and standards

We don't work with hardware store tools. We use professional equipment designed for the job:

Truck-mounted and portable HEPA vacuums (99.97 % filtration of particles ≥ 0.3 µm). Pneumatic rotary brushes and air whips for round and rectangular ducts. HD inspection cameras for before-and-after documentation. Portable UV-C generators and controlled nebulizers for antimicrobial treatments.

Our procedures comply with CVRI standards (we are certified) and we are in the process of obtaining NADCA certification. We also follow Health Canada recommendations for all our products and methods.

Signs that it's time to call us

Not sure if you need a cleaning? Here are some warning signs:

Persistent musty odours, even after cleaning. Constant dusting hours after sweeping. Some air vents blow weakly or irregularly. Your dryer takes forever to dry your clothes. You see traces of mold near the grilles or in the plenums. You've just experienced a flood, major renovation or construction work. A family member coughs, sneezes or has itchy eyes - especially at home.

If you recognize one or more of these signs, it's probably time to have your system inspected.

Pricing and estimates

Our prices vary according to several factors: the size of your property, the accessibility of your ducts, the level of clogging and whether or not decontamination is required.

We don't give out random numbers over the phone. We prefer to come and see, inspect and give you a precise and honest estimate.

The inspection is free and without obligation. You'll know exactly what it costs before we start.
