How much does air duct cleaning cost?

Our pricing is customized to your home based on size and duct condition. We give you a FREE inspection first — no obligation, no pressure. You'll know the exact flat-rate cost before we start. Beware of $99 'blow-and-go' scams that upcharge you later.

How long does the process take?

A proper, professional-grade cleaning takes 3 to 5 hours for an average-sized home. We use a negative pressure system that requires careful setup to ensure zero dust escapes into your living space.

Will this make a mess in my house?

Absolutely not. Our negative pressure system pulls all debris directly into our specialized truck-mounted or portable HEPA vacuums. We wear shoe covers, use drop cloths, and leave your home cleaner than we found it.

How often should I have my ducts cleaned?

The EPA recommends every 3 to 5 years. However, if you have pets, recent renovations, allergies, or asthma, you may benefit from cleaning every 2 years.

Do you offer emergency or same-day service?

Yes. We have technicians on standby 24/7 for the DMV area. If you suspect a mold issue, have a severe allergy attack, or notice a burning smell from your vents, call us immediately.
