Why Pacific Palisades Homeowners Choose Bellows Air Duct & Vent Co.
We’ve been called to homes on Chautauqua Boulevard after the January 2025 Palisades Fire, and we’ve cleaned duct systems in the Huntington Palisades where owners noticed gray-black residue coating their vent covers weeks after the flames were out. Pacific Palisades is not a routine market for us. The fire damage here requires equipment and protocols that standard residential cleaning simply does not provide.
Our technicians carry HEPA-rated negative air machines from Nikro and Rotobrush systems that can handle both standard buildup and post-fire soot binding. Every job gets a camera inspection before we start and another when we finish. You see what we see. Our 90-Day Done Right Promise applies to every Pacific Palisades home we enter: if the work is not right, we return at no charge with no paperwork required.
Calls to our office reach a live person, not a voicemail tree. That matters when you’re dealing with smoke odor at midnight or scheduling around a workday in the Palisades Village area. Our background-checked, uniformed technicians arrive when we say they will. We’ve learned that homeowners in Pacific Palisades who have lived in their houses for twenty or thirty years do not want a sales pitch. They want the job done right, documented, and finished.
Air Duct Cleaning Services We Offer in Pacific Palisades
Air Duct Cleaning
We clean the full supply and return duct network, including main trunks, branch lines, and boots. In Pacific Palisades, this often means addressing irregular retrofit ductwork found in mid-century homes off Sunset Boulevard and the ad-hoc configurations common to older Rustic Canyon properties. Our process uses mechanical agitation and HEPA-contained vacuum extraction. Learn more about our Air Duct Cleaning in Pacific Palisades.
Dryer Vent Cleaning
Lint accumulation in dryer vents is a leading cause of residential fires, and Pacific Palisades homes with longer vent runs through walls or roofs face higher blockage risk. We clear the full run from appliance to termination and verify airflow with a meter. Learn more about our Dryer Vent Cleaning in Pacific Palisades.
HVAC Cleaning
Your furnace cabinet, evaporator coil, and blower assembly collect the same particulate that settles in ducts. After the Palisades Fire, we’ve found coils coated with fire-smoke residue that standard filter changes cannot address. We clean these components in place or remove them for detailed service when necessary. Learn more about our HVAC Cleaning in Pacific Palisades.
Duct Repair & Sealing
Unsealed flex connections and gaps at plenum joints pull attic dust and, in fire-affected areas, ash and soot into your airflow. We seal with mastic and mechanical fasteners, and we replace damaged sections with code-compliant materials. This work is the focus of our Duct Repair & Sealing in Pacific Palisades, particularly in homes where central air was retrofitted into systems never designed for it.
Air Quality & Sanitizing
For homes with persistent odor or post-fire contamination, we apply Air Quality & Sanitizing in Pacific Palisades treatments-EPA-registered sanitizers and deodorizers through the duct system after mechanical cleaning is complete. This is not a substitute for removing the source, but it addresses microbial growth and smoke odor that cleaning alone cannot resolve.
Neighborhoods We Serve in Pacific Palisades
We schedule Pacific Palisades appointments with a target arrival window, and most homes from the Highlands to the Village are reachable within our standard response timeframe.

Why Pacific Palisades’s Climate & Housing Affect Air Duct Cleaning
The geography here creates problems you will not find in flatland Los Angeles. The canyon topography of Temescal and Rustic Canyons funnels Santa Ana winds directly against homes, and when those winds carry smoke-laden air from nearby Santa Monica, CA and surrounding areas, any HVAC system running during the event pulls that particulate straight into the duct network. We’ve cleaned homes where the owners never saw flames but found their evaporator coils blackened from hours of filtration during wind-driven smoke events.
The daily marine layer adds another complication. Coastal humidity causes ash and soot already inside ducts to bind to duct walls rather than remaining loose and easily extracted. A standard compressed-air whip cleaning, which works fine in dry inland climates, often fails to dislodge this bonded residue in Pacific Palisades. Our technicians switch to brush-agitation systems and, in severe cases, apply chemical deodorization protocols developed for fire restoration.
The housing stock compounds this. Many Pacific Palisades homes were built between the 1940s and 1970s with duct systems retrofitted for central air rather than originally engineered. Irregular duct runs, unsealed flex connections, and dead-leg sections create places where particulate settles and standard cleaning tools cannot reach. Older Rustic Canyon bungalows from the 1930s and 1940s present some of the most challenging configurations we encounter in the Los Angeles basin.

Most residential jobs in Pacific Palisades finish in three to five hours. Post-fire decontamination or homes with complex retrofit ductwork, particularly in Rustic Canyon or the Highlands, may take a full day. We complete most jobs in a single visit.

What Pacific Palisades Customers Say
"They ran a negative air machine on the whole system rather than the shop vac on a stick that the cheap outfit uses. Showed me the before and after photos from inside the trunk line and it was genuinely disgusting."
- Katie Sullivan"Two guys, about three hours, plastic down at every register, and they wiped the vent covers before putting them back."
- Grace Chen"Used them at the house and then at my mother's place. Same crew standard both times even though it was a different team."
