Short answer

Duct cleaning in Pedregal is the camera inspection and cleaning of the inside of the air conditioning ducts of homes, shops along the avenues and service centers in this district. It is scheduled by area to reduce travel, agreed with the person in charge of each property, and the camera decides whether there is anything to clean or only equipment maintenance applies.

Pedregal: 28.5 km² between rivers and avenues

Pedregal covers 28.5 km², more than six times the area of Bella Vista, and has 57,682 residents, about 2,021 per square kilometer. Its limits are set by vía Domingo Díaz, vía José Agustín Arango and the Tapia and Juan Díaz rivers. Between 2000 and 2023 it grew from 45,801 to 57,682 people.

In such a wide territory distance weighs as much as the type of property: a single day can mix a neighborhood home, a shop on the avenue and a public service center. Many homes use individual units without ducts, and when that is the case it is explained and guidance is given on the maintenance that does apply, without forcing a cleaning that does not.
