Commercial and institutional ventilation cleaning on the South Shore

Complex networks, ANATROLLER robots, night and weekend work so your operations are never interrupted. We already clean the ventilation at ITHQ, College Charles-Lemoyne, Chibougamau Hospital and the SPCA Rive-Sud. If we meet a hospital's requirements, we meet yours - with before and after photos to back it up, and you follow the technician the whole way.

ITHQ, College Charles-Lemoyne, Chibougamau Hospital, SPCA Rive-Sud. If we can handle those buildings, we can handle yours.

After-hours work

We work at night and on weekends. Your employees, your tenants and your clients never see the work site.

Before and after photos

The real condition of your network before, the result after, on every intervention. Proof in pictures, not on our word.

A building's ventilation does not forgive neglect

In a commercial, institutional or co-ownership building, the ventilation network is larger, more complex and under more demand than in a house. It serves dozens, sometimes hundreds of occupants, and when it gets fouled, you cannot fix it by opening a window: stale air recirculates, complaints pile up, and the association or the board starts asking questions.

Every type of building has its own constraints. An office tower recirculates the same air across entire floors, and a loaded network quickly becomes an occupational health file. A school or a care facility tolerates no compromise on air quality. A restaurant combines general ventilation with kitchen exhaust. A condo building mixes common and private ducts, with an association answerable to its co-owners. We adapt the intervention to each of these realities rather than applying a single recipe.

For a manager, what is at stake goes beyond comfort: indoor air quality is a concrete responsibility. Occupants complaining about heavy air, recurring headaches, dust that keeps coming back - these are signals that eventually reach the board, the employer, sometimes the CNESST. A well-maintained ventilation network, with before and after photos of the real condition, is the peace of mind of having done what was needed and being able to show it.

These networks demand equipment sized to the building. We work with ANATROLLER robots (ARI-10, ARI-50, ARI-100), calibrated to the size of the ducts, and our team is trained for work at heights up to 100 feet. That is what makes it possible to clean a commercial network in full, not just the easily accessible sections - the same standard of rigour as on a residential network, at a different scale.

And the transparency does not stop at the work itself. You follow the technician from one end of the intervention to the other, and you walk away with before and after photos of the network's real condition - before and after. In cases of mould or water damage, we document the condition in pictures with even more care. It is concrete proof that the work was done, and done right.

Commercial and institutional cleaning is part of Air 2's ventilation cleaning silo: the same rigorous protocol as on residential, scaled up to a whole building, and always by our in-house team - never a subcontractor, even on the big contracts.

How we clean a commercial network

Planned with the manager, executed after hours, and you follow the work from start to finish. Here is how it happens.

1. Evaluation and planning

We assess the network with the manager, map the access points and plan a night or weekend intervention, around your operations.

2. ANATROLLER robots

We deploy the robot calibrated to the size of the ducts and put the network under suction. Work at heights is covered by a team trained up to 100 feet.

3. The whole network

Ducts, vertical sections, returns, units: we clean all of it, not just the easily accessible parts, and we verify it.

4. Before and after photos

We hand you the before and after photos of the network's real condition. And you followed the technician the whole way: nothing happens behind your back.

"I need a big player, not a South Shore company"

That is the objection we hear most from managers, and it is a fair one: for an entire building, you want someone with the capacity to deliver. The answer is in our active contracts. We already clean the ventilation at ITHQ, College Charles-Lemoyne, Chibougamau Hospital and the SPCA Rive-Sud. These are not courtesy references: they are buildings with strict requirements, where air quality is not negotiable.

The second concern is having to interrupt operations. That is exactly what we avoid. We plan the intervention with you and execute it after hours, in the evening or on weekends, so your employees, your tenants or your clients never see the work site and your activities do not stop for a single day.

And the third, the most important one for a decision maker: how do you know the job was done right if you cannot judge it yourself? By seeing it. You follow the technician from one end of the intervention to the other, and you walk away with before and after photos of the network's real condition. You see what was there before and what is no longer - not a promise, proof in pictures. And it is our in-house team on site from start to finish, never a subcontractor we do not control.

Frequently asked questions about commercial ventilation cleaning

It depends on the building's use: an office building, a care facility, a school and a restaurant do not put the same load on their ventilation. Generally we are talking about a cleaning every two to three years for standard use, more frequently for high-occupancy environments or those with sanitary requirements. The best benchmark is still an inspection: we assess the real condition of the network and recommend a frequency suited to your building rather than a generic calendar.
There are recognized North American standards defining how a duct network should be cleaned and verified, and many institutional buildings refer to them. Without getting into the jargon, what matters to you as a manager is the concrete result: a network cleaned in full and not just the easily accessible sections, a verification of the work, and visual proof. That is exactly what we deliver - before and after photos of the real condition, and you follow the technician the whole way. You judge on what you see, not on a claim.
We start by assessing the network with the association or the manager and by clarifying what falls under common areas and what falls under private units - a distinction that depends on the declaration of co-ownership and is best settled before the work. We then plan a coordinated intervention, often after hours, to limit disruption to residents: we communicate the dates, the access required and the duration, so the association can notify co-owners without improvising. During the work, a representative can follow the technician, and the association walks away with before and after photos of the network's real condition - useful for reporting at a general meeting. For dryer vents in a condo, the common versus private responsibility logic is the same - a point we also cover in our dryer vent cleaning.
Yes, and it is our default way of working on commercial contracts. We plan the intervention with you and execute it after hours, in the evening or on weekends, so your operations do not stop. Your employees, your tenants and your clients never see the work site. That is precisely what reassures managers who fear having to close for days: that is not the case.
We build every quote around the actual building: size of the network, number of units, access, scheduling constraints. For an association, grouping the work at the building level is often more advantageous than a unit-by-unit approach, and we factor that into the proposal. Tell us about your building and we will provide a detailed, clear quote suited to your co-ownership reality.

(Translated by Google) We live in a condominium and suspected that one of the owners had a bird's nest in her dryer vent. Pierre-Alexandre came and did a thorough cleaning and was very respectful of nature, placing the three eggs he found under our cedar trees, along with part of the nest removed, in case the mother returned for her chicks. He did an excellent job working at heights (3rd floor) and we will definitely contact this company again if needed. Thank you, Pierre-Alexandre!

(Original)
Nous sommes en copropriété et nous nous doutions qu'une des copropriétaires avait un nid d'oiseau dans son conduit de sécheuse. Pierre-Alexandre est venu faire un bon nettoyage et a été assez respectueux de la nature pour poser sous nos cèdres les 3 oeufs trouvés avec une partie du nid enlevé au cas où la mère reviendrait pour ses petits. Il a fait un excellent travail en hauteur (3e étage) et nous recontacterons assurément cette compagnie au besoin. Merci Pierre-Alexandre
