My Journey in Air Duct Cleaning
Hello, neighbors! My name is Duane Shaffer, and I’m the proud Owner and Operator of EZ Breathing Air Duct Cleaning, LLC. I was born and raised in the South Side of Pittsburgh, PA, and I’m a proud father of three amazing children. Pittsburgh isn’t just where I work—it’s home.
I entered the air duct cleaning industry at just 18 years old, and from the beginning, I knew my passion was helping people breathe cleaner, healthier air. After working for several different air duct cleaning companies, I started noticing the same issues over and over again—high-pressure sales tactics, hidden fees, and incomplete cleanings. Homeowners were being sold one thing and getting another.
In 2017, I decided to do things differently. With nothing more than hard work, determination, and the small amount of money I had saved, I purchased my first vacuum truck and launched EZ Breathing Air Duct Cleaning. We truly built this company from the ground up, and every step of the journey has been earned. There were no investors, no shortcuts—just a commitment to doing the job the right way.
From day one, my mission was clear: provide honest, thorough air duct and dryer vent cleaning at a flat rate—no upselling, no hidden fees, and no bait-and-switch pricing. Today, more than nine years later, that same promise still guides everything we do. We are fully licensed, insured, and owner-operated, and I personally oversee every job.
While running the business, I chose to further my education by attending HVAC school in 2019–2020. Even during the challenges of the COVID pandemic, I stayed committed and proudly earned my HVAC certification in 2022. That training allows me to understand HVAC systems at a deeper level not just how to clean them, but how to protect them and improve indoor air quality properly.
I see the difference this work makes every single day. Clean ductwork means cleaner air, fewer allergens, better system efficiency, and a healthier home or workplace. That’s why we take our time on every job and provide before-and-after photos, so our customers can clearly see the results.
At EZ Breathing, we believe everyone deserves clean air in their home or business. In a world filled with pollution, dust, and allergens, your indoor air should be a place of comfort not concern. It’s my belief that any home with a forced-air HVAC system should have their air ducts cleaned and sanitized every 2–5 years. In fact, studies show that an average six-room home can accumulate up to 20 pounds of dust, bacteria, and contaminants inside the ductwork—materials that are recirculated into the air you breathe every day.
