Post-Construction Duct Cleaning for New Homes in Westchester County NY

A brand-new home in Westchester County looks pristine — and your ductwork almost certainly isn't. Post-construction duct cleaning is the one service most new-home buyers skip and later wish they had done before the first full summer of AC.

What Ends Up in New Ducts

During construction, open ductwork sits exposed for weeks. Drywall dust, sawdust, insulation fibers, metal shavings, food wrappers, and more find their way into supply and return trunks. Even with covered openings, enough gets in that the first cooling run blows a visible cloud out of the registers.

Why It Matters on Day One

• Drywall dust is highly abrasive — hard on blower bearings and coil fins
• Sawdust and paper provide a substrate for microbial growth in humid AC months
• Fiberglass fragments irritate airways and settle as a fine layer on every surface
• The first year is when warranty-covered blower issues tend to surface
• Allergy and respiratory symptoms are common in the first few months in new homes

The Sequence We Recommend

For new homes in Westchester, we suggest a post-construction cleaning after the builder's final walkthrough but before the first summer. The sequence is:

• Visual inspection and photo documentation of pre-clean condition
• Source-removal cleaning across all supply and return runs
• Coil and blower inspection with photo documentation
• Filter fit-check and first proper filter install
• Optional sanitation if builder used humid-climate construction practices

Frequently Asked Questions

Isn't this the builder's job?

Some builders include it; most don't. Ask for documentation — a photo record of the ductwork interior is the evidence.

Does it void my HVAC warranty?

No. Professional duct cleaning is standard maintenance and does not affect warranty.

How soon after move-in?

Ideal window is the first 30 days. Beyond that, you are circulating the construction debris into your furnishings.
