Professional Duct Cleaning & Indoor Air Quality Solutions
HVAC-Certified Technicians. Real Equipment. Not a Coupon Shop.
Your HVAC ductwork circulates air throughout your home thousands of times per year. Over time, dust, pollen, pet dander, mold spores, and other contaminants accumulate inside ducts. This buildup:
- Reduces air quality (affecting allergies and respiratory health)
- Decreases HVAC efficiency (10-20% efficiency loss from dust blockage)
- Increases energy costs
- Shortens equipment lifespan
Professional duct cleaning removes these contaminants, improving your home's air quality and HVAC performance.
Why Duct Cleaning Matters:
Indoor Air Quality: EPA studies show indoor air is 2-5x more polluted than outdoor air. If your ducts contain dust, mold, pet dander, or other contaminants, they're continuously distributed throughout your home. This is especially important for families with:
- Allergies or asthma
- Small children or elderly
- Pet owners (pet dander accumulates in ducts)
- Recent water damage or mold history
Energy Efficiency: Dust-clogged ducts restrict airflow, forcing your HVAC system to work harder to push air through. This:
- Increases energy consumption 10-20%
- Raises energy bills
- Puts strain on equipment, shortening lifespan
- Reduces overall comfort
System Longevity: A clean HVAC system lasts longer. Dust accumulation in coils and blowers reduces equipment life by 2-3 years. Professional cleaning extends system life.
Our Duct Cleaning Service:
- Inspection: We visually inspect accessible ducts and use a camera to check inside ductwork for dust, debris, mold, or other issues.
- Assessment: We discuss findings and recommend cleaning or other solutions.
- Professional Cleaning: Using HVAC-industry-standard equipment, we clean all ducts using negative pressure and brush agitation to dislodge and remove debris.
- Sanitization (Optional): We can apply EPA-approved antimicrobial treatment to kill mold spores and bacteria if present.
- Post-Cleaning Inspection: We verify ducts are clean and document improvement.
When to Clean Ducts:
- After New HVAC Installation: Remove dust from ductwork installation process
- After Water Damage: If your home experienced flooding or roof leak, ducts may contain mold
- If You Notice:
- Visible dust or debris coming from vents
- Musty smell from ducts
- Increased allergy symptoms after turning on HVAC
- Reduced airflow
- With High Risk Factors:
- Pets shedding hair/dander
- Smokers in the home
- Recent renovation/remodeling
- Never had ducts cleaned (recommend every 3-5 years)
Can Duct Cleaning Help with Allergies?
Yes. If your home's dust, pet dander, or pollen accumulates in ducts and gets circulated by your HVAC, it triggers allergy symptoms. Professional duct cleaning removes these allergens. Combined with quality air filters (MERV 11-13) and air purifiers, duct cleaning significantly reduces allergens.
Air Quality Improvements Beyond Duct Cleaning:
- Air Purifiers: Whole-house purifiers remove dust, pollen, bacteria, viruses
- Humidifiers: Balanced humidity (40-60%) improves respiratory health and reduces allergen circulation
- Dehumidifiers: Excess humidity (above 60%) promotes mold and dust mites
- UV Germicidal Lights: Kill bacteria and mold in HVAC coils
- Ventilation: Adequate fresh air exchange (not recirculating same dusty air)
We can recommend and install these enhancements.
FAQ:
- How much does duct cleaning cost? $500-$1,500 depending on ductwork size and contamination level. We provide free estimates.
- How long does duct cleaning take? 3-6 hours typically.
- Does duct cleaning improve allergies? Yes, for many people. Removing dust and allergens from ducts reduces circulation of contaminants.
- Should I have my ducts sealed? Leaky ducts waste 20-30% of conditioned air. Sealing ducts improves efficiency and is often recommended with duct cleaning.
- How often should I have ducts cleaned? Every 3-5 years for most homes. More frequently if you have pets, smokers, or allergies.

Duct cleaning costs are straightforward when you understand what goes into the job. Here's what our techs look at before finalizing your quote.
Number of Vents & System Size

Energy Efficiency (SEER Rating)
Higher efficiency means lower energy bills over time, but a higher upfront cost. Ductless mini-splits are rated by SEER — ratings typically range from 15 to 30+. Our technicians help you find the right balance of efficiency and budget for your home.
Add-On Services Requested
Dryer vent cleaning, air handler coil cleaning, and post-clean treatments are priced as add-ons. We'll walk you through what's worth it for your home.
Ductwork Layout & Access
Crawl-space ductwork, older flex duct systems, or hard-to-reach trunk lines add labor time. We'll tell you upfront if your layout affects pricing.
