DUCT CLEANING BUSINESS PLAN

I. Executive Summary

Company Description

AeroSweep Systems launches in January 2026 as a professional HVAC duct cleaning firm in the U.S. The name combines "aero" (air) and "sweep" (clean), signaling a focus on clean indoor air. We operate in the residential and commercial indoor air quality and HVAC maintenance sector. Our core services use advanced robotic duct-cleaning equipment operated by NADCA-certified technicians, paired with mandatory video verification for every job to prove results and drive trust. One-liner: clean air, proven on video.

We sell time-and-materials duct cleaning, preventative maintenance plans, and efficiency-improvement consultations that reduce allergens and lower energy use. Operations center on rapid dispatch, digital scheduling, technician routing, and video-backed QA. We target health-conscious homeowners, property managers, and small-to-mid commercial facilities in suburban and urban U.S. markets. Short-term goal: achieve positive unit economics and regional coverage by end-2027. Long-term goal: scale to national operations and reach USD 2,217,000 EBITDA by 2030. One-liner: tech-forward service that scales to national margins.

Problem

Indoor air quality in U.S. buildings is frequently compromised by dust, allergens, and pet dander accumulated inside HVAC ductwork, worsening symptoms for the 50 million Americans with allergies and asthma and raising energy and maintenance costs.

Accumulated debris forces HVAC systems to work harder, reduces efficiency, shortens equipment life, and leaves property owners unaware of hidden pollutants; current market responses fail to provide consistent, verified cleaning that both improves health outcomes and documents energy and equipment benefits.

Solution

Many U.S. homes and businesses have poor indoor air quality from contaminants trapped in HVAC systems, raising health risks and energy costs. We provide professional, certified duct cleaning using advanced robotic systems, high-resolution inspection cameras, and HEPA-filtered vacuums to deliver verifiable, NADCA-standard results with a 24-month payback. Cleaner ducts, measurable airflow gains, lower bills.

Our service documents compliance to NADCA standards, removes lodged dust and biological contaminants, and serves residential, commercial, and light industrial sites—targeting EBITDA $2,217,000 by 2030 through higher ASPs, recurring maintenance contracts, and verified performance outcomes.

Mission Statement

Our mission is to create healthier living and working environments by providing the most thorough and transparent HVAC duct cleaning services in the industry. We commit to using advanced technology and adhering to NADCA standards to improve indoor air quality and energy efficiency. We build long-term relationships through trust, professionalism, and verifiable results, and we aim to be the leading IAQ specialist in our market while achieving a 8% IRR for our stakeholders.
