An air duct cleaning appointment starts with an inspection and an agreed scope. We clean accessible ductwork and vents, then review the results and before-and-after photos. Many standard homes take about 1.5–2 hours; access, system size, and buildup affect timing.
Before the visit: tell us about the property
Send your city or ZIP code, approximate square footage, and the number of HVAC systems. Tell us whether the property is a home, rental, or business and whether you want dryer vent cleaning included in the estimate.
If you are unsure how many systems you have, say so. Photos of accessible equipment and thermostats can help start the conversation. A thermostat count alone does not always settle the question.
At the property: agree on the work
We inspect accessible areas, discuss your concerns, and explain the proposed scope and price before cleaning begins. Ask which supply vents, return vents, and HVAC components are included. Repairs, specialized testing, and microbial treatment have their own scope.
Tell us about restricted access, tenant arrangements, or equipment in an attic or crawlspace. We can explain what access is needed before you prepare the space.
During cleaning: loosen and collect buildup
Negative-air equipment and agitation are used to loosen and collect accumulated debris. The work focuses on the accessible ductwork and supply and return vents included in your estimate.
Duct cleaning does not repair a disconnected duct, a leak, or a faulty appliance. If we find a separate concern, we explain it and discuss the next step.
After cleaning: review the results
Before-and-after photos help you see the accessible areas we worked on. Review those photos with the technician and ask about any access limitations or recommended follow-up. Every air duct cleaning booking includes a free HVAC air freshener.
Cleaning should be based on the condition of the system. EPA does not recommend routine duct cleaning for every home or support sweeping claims that it prevents health problems.
