01 /
First, find out what your system actually needs.
Dust at a register does not tell the whole story. We start with the duct type, accessible condition and the system itself. Some ductwork is not suitable for the same cleaning method—or for cleaning at all. If that is what we find, we explain it rather than pressing ahead. Our guide explains when duct cleaning may be appropriate, rather than assuming every home needs a fixed cleaning schedule. For independent background, read EPA guidance on deciding whether to clean air ducts; it does not recommend routine cleaning for every home.
02 /
What an agreed clean can include
For suitable systems, we remove and clean registers and work vent by vent with a rotating brush where the material and condition permit. Negative-pressure extraction collects dislodged debris throughout the clean. The $99 service fee covers negative-pressure vacuum setup and connection. Optional blower cleaning is $225 per blower and is excluded from the cleaning totals. Any other equipment work needs its own agreed scope. Compare sanitation and deep-cleaning methods before deciding which option to discuss.

A clear quote for your system
Tell us the property location, number of systems and what prompted your enquiry. We quote for the actual system and agreed work, with the included components clearly identified. Your price, agreed upfront. Any separate corrective work is explained and agreed before it is undertaken. For eligible routine-maintenance work, use our routine air-duct quote calculator; unusual access, suspected mold and complex systems need a tailored discussion.
04 /
What about suspected mold?
Routine duct cleaning is not a mold diagnosis or a promise to resolve a moisture problem. If you are concerned about possible growth, tell us when enquiring so the concern can be assessed separately. We do not promise health outcomes or treat every mark as the same problem. Read about suspected mold in ductwork and why it needs a separate assessment.
05 /
How should I prepare?
Let us know where the air handler is, whether access is restricted and if you have any concerns about fragile or damaged ductwork. Clear practical access to registers where possible; do not dismantle anything for us. We will discuss preparation for the agreed visit.
Questions about this service
How much does air duct cleaning cost?
For an eligible routine-maintenance property, the price is a $99 service fee plus $35 per vent for sanitation/maintenance or $55 per vent for rotating-brush deep cleaning. Optional blower cleaning is $225 per blower and is not included. Access, duct suitability and the agreed scope are confirmed before work.
What is the difference between sanitation and deep cleaning?
The maintenance/sanitation option covers register cleaning and ductwork sanitation where appropriate for the materials and application. Deep cleaning adds rotating-brush work where suitable to loosen accumulated dust and debris for extraction. We establish suitability before recommending a method.
Do I count supply vents and returns separately?
No. Count all the vents you can see in the floors, walls and ceilings together. The calculator also asks how many indoor AC units you have and where they are located.
What does the $99 service fee include?
The $99 service fee covers negative-pressure vacuum setup and connection. Register cleaning and sanitation are part of the per-vent price. Blower cleaning is an optional additional service, not part of that setup fee.
Can you clean the ducts if I have an all-in-one outdoor AC unit?
Yes, we can discuss cleaning the ductwork connected to a packaged outdoor AC unit. We cannot provide unit cleaning for that packaged equipment. Tell us which arrangement you have so the quote covers the right work.
When do I need a tailored quote instead of the calculator?
Contact us for diagnosed or suspected mold, unexplained odors, vents above 10 feet, attic access or more complex equipment arrangements. We can discuss servicing the property, but these details need a conversation before an accurate price can be agreed.
Does every home need duct cleaning on a fixed schedule?
No. Duct condition, materials and the reason for cleaning matter. We inspect suitability rather than assuming every home needs the same treatment. Duct cleaning is not a guaranteed cure for allergies or unexplained odors.

Allergens, odors or excessive dust?
We help customers with these concerns by assessing suitable ductwork and dirty units, then agreeing the cleaning needed. Tell us what you are noticing. Cleaning is not a medical treatment or a guarantee of allergy relief; odors, suspected mold and equipment work need a tailored scope. Discuss your concerns with us.
What would 12 vents cost?
For an eligible routine-maintenance property: $99 service fee + 12 × $35 = $519 for sanitation/maintenance, or $99 + 12 × $55 = $759 for rotating-brush deep cleaning. Optional blower cleaning is $225 per blower, excluded. These are examples, not fixed prices for every home; suitability, access and scope are confirmed before work.

Your visit / Inspection to walkthrough
See the work. Understand the result.
Inspect, then confirm your estimate
Your inspection is included before cleaning begins, so we can check whether the ductwork is suitable. We confirm the estimate already provided and explain any findings, issues or proposed changes before agreeing the work with you.
Protect and clean
We use drop cloths to protect the work area. For suitable deep-cleaning work, negative-pressure extraction collects debris while agitation tools loosen buildup. The method follows the duct material, condition and agreed scope.
Look inside with us
Before closing up, we give you the opportunity to look inside. We take duct photos for reference and show you the filter containing material removed during the clean. We then reassemble and clean up the work area.

After the visit
Keep an eye on the system—not a fixed cleaning date
Follow the filter guidance for your equipment
Keep filters properly fitted and follow your equipment manufacturer’s maintenance and replacement instructions. Do not open sealed equipment or enter an attic to investigate a concern.
If dust or odors return
Note where you notice the problem, when it happens and whether the AC is running. Dust and odors can have more than one source; tell us what has changed so the next assessment focuses on the right issue.
Cleaning is not a repair for every problem
Damaged ductwork, moisture and equipment faults may need attention beyond cleaning. We explain issues identified during the suitability inspection and discuss the next step rather than add work without agreement. If you suspect mold or moisture, read our assessment guidance and include the concern in your enquiry.

Building, remodeling or moving into a new home?
Unprotected ducts can collect construction debris, and running the AC during dusty work can draw particles into the system. We inspect suitability before cleaning and agree the scope with you.
