In Portland’s damp climate, residential HVAC systems work overtime. Dust, pollen, and moisture collect inside ductwork, reducing efficiency and circulating allergens. CountBricks solves this with a streamlined, data-driven approach to portland air duct cleaning that integrates our AI estimating platform, on-site voice capture, and seasoned field crews. The result is cleaner air, lower utility bills, and a healthier living space—all delivered with the speed and precision Portland homeowners expect.
• Up to 30 % energy loss as HVAC units struggle against clogged airflow
• Accelerated wear on furnaces and heat pumps, shortening equipment lifespan
• Mold growth fueled by Portland’s year-round moisture
• Higher particulate counts that aggravate asthma and allergies
Ignoring duct hygiene undermines even the most efficient insulation or window package. That is why every CountBricks residential build or remodel includes a duct-cleaning checkpoint in our project workflow.
Traditional cleaners still walk a tape measure through every register. CountBricks technicians simply speak room dimensions into our mobile app while onsite. The platform instantly generates:
1. Linear-foot measurements of supply and return lines
2. Current regional material pricing for negative-air machines, HEPA vacuums, and access panels
3. Labor hours benchmarked against similar Portland projects in the CountBricks database
These outputs feed directly into a client-ready proposal, branded with your logo if you are a trade partner, or with ours for direct-to-owner projects. View samples at CountBricks.com/portfolio.
1. Inspection and real-time video capture using robotic whips
2. Sealing of registers to create negative pressure
3. Agitation with high-speed brushes sized to match duct diameter
4. HEPA filtration of dislodged debris outside the conditioned space
5. Application of EPA-approved antimicrobial where moisture is present
Homeowners receive a digital before-and-after report inside their CountBricks dashboard, complete with footage and particulate readouts.
• Pollen surges from spring blooms clog filters faster than in drier regions
• Basements and crawlspaces often harbor excess humidity
• Older Craftsman homes feature tight chases and mixed duct sizes
• City regulations demand proper disposal of lead-paint dust in pre-1978 houses
CountBricks crews are trained to handle each scenario safely, in compliance with local code, and without disruption to finished interiors.
• Integrated takeoffs: Sync blueprint data into our platform for immediate duct-cleaning allowances
• Voice-driven change orders: Add or remove zones on the fly during walkthroughs
• Transparent pricing: Live material cost feeds ensure bids stay profitable despite market swings
• Consolidated invoicing: Bundle duct cleaning with framing, insulation, or drywall scopes through CountBricks.com/services
Because the estimate lives in our cloud environment, GC’s can share read-only access with clients or lenders for faster approvals.
• Replace 1-inch filters every 60 days, not “seasonally,” due to Portland’s airborne moisture
• Run the fan for 10 minutes after showering to purge humid air from trunk lines
• Install a smart thermostat that cycles the blower during high pollen alerts
• Schedule a duct inspection after any interior drywall sanding to capture gypsum dust
• Use MERV-13 filters only if the blower motor is rated for the added static pressure
CountBricks data shows an average 18 % drop in monthly HVAC energy consumption within three billing cycles. Clients also report noticeably reduced dusting frequency and fewer allergy flare-ups. For sellers, a documented portland air duct cleaning can add a marketable line item on pre-listing inspection reports.

A 1912 Craftsman in the Hosford-Abernethy neighborhood was undergoing a full gut remodel. The GC used CountBricks for framing and electrical estimates, then tapped our portland air duct cleaning service to finish the mechanical scope.
• 56 % of ducts contained lead-paint particulates from demolished lathe-and-plaster walls
• Moisture readings averaged 68 % RH in the crawlspace supply line
• Static pressure dropped from 0.92 in. WC to 0.54 in. WC after cleaning
• Energy model predicted $412 annual heating savings post-service
1. The superintendent opened the CountBricks mobile app and recorded a verbal note: “Add duct cleaning, 2,200 sq ft Craftsman, existing 4-ton furnace.”
2. Within 90 seconds, the platform produced a line-item estimate, incorporating HEPA containment costs mandated by Portland code.
3. The homeowner approved the proposed $1,480 scope via e-signature the same afternoon.
4. CountBricks scheduled a two-technician crew for the following morning, coordinated alongside insulation installers already booked through CountBricks.com/services.
• Post-cleaning air samples showed a 72 % reduction in airborne particulates
• Furnace cycle time shortened by 11 %, immediately evident on the smart thermostat logs
• The GC bundled all mechanical invoices into a single CountBricks pay app, streamlining lender draws
This renovation demonstrates how integrating duct hygiene into the broader CountBricks workflow saves time, safeguards indoor air, and protects profit margins. Whether you are restoring century-old charm or building a modern ADU, CountBricks keeps Portland projects breathing easy.
