Introduction
Bonfield's agricultural heritage means many properties feature larger footprints, extended ductwork runs, and wood-burning systems that serve as primary heat sources rather than backup. These characteristics require equipment and expertise beyond standard residential service.
Our trucks travel Highway 17 and Rutherglen Road regularly, serving Bonfield Village, the Lake Nosbonsing South area, and the surrounding farming community. We got our start with chimney cleaning, and today it remains central to our business alongside duct and dryer vent services.
Air Duct Cleaning in Bonfield
Bonfield's farmhouses and rural properties often feature larger duct systems than typical suburban homes. Extended trunk lines serving multiple wings, additions built over decades, and ductwork routed through unheated spaces all demand commercial-grade extraction power.
Why Standard Equipment Falls Short:
Many duct cleaning operators use portable equipment rated at 100-200 CFM. That's adequate for a small bungalow—but a Bonfield farmhouse with 15-20 registers across 2,500+ square feet needs significantly more suction to maintain negative pressure throughout the entire system.
Our 5,000 CFM Solution:
We use a commercial extraction system that pulls 5,000 cubic feet of air per minute through your ductwork. Triple-stage filtration captures 99.9% of dust, dander, pollen, and debris. This power level maintains consistent suction across the extended duct runs common in Bonfield's larger properties.
What to Expect:
Complete assessment of your duct system configurationSealing of all registers to maintain system-wide suctionMechanical agitation combined with continuous extractionMain trunk line and branch cleaningOptional organic sanitization treatmentFinal airflow verification at each registerIdeal For:
Converted farmhouses with extended duct runsHomes with mixed heating systems (forced air + wood backup)Post-renovation dust and debris removalHomes with pets, allergies, or respiratory concernsProperties that haven't been cleaned in 5+ years
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Bonfield
In Bonfield's farmhouses and rural properties, dryers are often located far from exterior walls. Laundry in back mudrooms, basement utility areas, or converted porches means dryer vents take longer, more complex routes to reach outside.
Why This Matters:
Lint is the number one cause of residential dryer fires in Canada. Rural properties like those in Bonfield face longer emergency response times—making fire prevention especially critical. A clogged vent also forces your dryer to work harder, increasing energy costs and shortening appliance life.
Our Dryer Vent Process:
Using a 250 PSI air compressor system with specialized air whips, we clear the entire vent run from your dryer to the exterior exhaust. This equipment handles the extended runs, multiple bends, and routing configurations common in Bonfield's rural properties.

Chimney Cleaning & Inspections in Bonfield
For many Bonfield properties, wood heat isn't supplemental—it's primary. Whether you're running a wood stove as your main heat source or relying on it during power outages, these systems work harder than occasional-use fireplaces and require more frequent professional attention.
Understanding Creosote:
Creosote is the tar-like byproduct of wood combustion. It accumulates in three stages—from light, brushable deposits to hard, glazed buildup that requires professional tools to remove. High-use systems in Bonfield often progress through these stages faster than occasional-use installations.
Recommended Frequency:
For properties using wood as primary heat, we recommend inspection and cleaning before heating season begins, with a mid-season check if you're burning heavily. For supplemental use, annual service before the heating season is typically sufficient.
Our Chimney Services Include:
Complete creosote removal from firebox to capFlue liner inspection for cracks or deteriorationSmoke shelf cleaningClearance verification to combustiblesWritten condition reportCap and crown inspection
WETT Inspections in Bonfield
If your Bonfield property has a wood-burning appliance, you may need a WETT inspection for insurance compliance, real estate transactions, or to verify a previous installation was done correctly.
What is WETT?
Wood Energy Technology Transfer (WETT) is the Canadian certification program for wood-burning system safety. A WETT inspection examines your complete wood-burning installation—appliance, chimney, clearances, and connections—against current safety standards.

FAQ's — Bonfield
Q: My farmhouse has a larger duct system than a typical home. Can your equipment handle it?
A: Yes. Our 5,000 CFM commercial extraction system is specifically sized for larger properties. Where portable equipment loses suction across extended duct runs, our system maintains consistent negative pressure throughout. We regularly service Bonfield farmhouses with 15-20+ registers.
Q: How often should I have my chimney cleaned if wood is my primary heat source?
A: For primary heat use in Northern Ontario, we recommend inspection and cleaning before heating season begins. If you’re burning heavily (5+ cords per season), a mid-winter inspection helps ensure safe operation through the coldest months.
Q: My dryer vent runs through an unheated mudroom. Is that a problem?
A: Vents through unheated spaces create condensation points where lint accumulates faster. We recommend more frequent cleaning—typically annually—for these configurations. Our 250 PSI air compressor system is designed to clear these extended, complex runs.
Q: Will duct cleaning make a mess in my home?
A: No. We seal every register to maintain system-wide suction, and all debris is captured in our triple-filtered extraction system (99.9% capture rate). Your home stays cleaner than we found it—that’s our guarantee.
Q: Do you service properties outside Bonfield village?
A: Absolutely. We regularly travel Rutherglen Road and Boulter Road to serve the agricultural properties throughout the Bonfield area. Call for a specific quote for your address.
Q: Can you combine chimney cleaning and duct cleaning in one visit?
A: Yes. Since we arrive fully equipped, we can service your chimney, ducts, and dryer vent in a single trip. This is especially convenient for rural Bonfield properties where scheduling multiple service visits is impractical.
