Air duct and vent cleaning

Air duct cleaning, counted vent by vent.

Mechanical cleaning of the accessible parts of your duct system with negative-pressure vacuum and rotary brush agitation. $155.25 per system plus $15.53 per vent, so you can check the arithmetic before you agree to it.

What the service is

A mechanical cleaning, and a written account of it.

Ductwork accumulates settled dust, pet dander, pollen and construction debris over years of service. Our duct cleaning removes the accessible accumulated debris included in the service scope. What a cleaning can reach depends on how your system is built: duct material, layout, the number of access points, and whether runs are rigid, flexible or buried in inaccessible spaces.

The deliverable is a system with the reachable debris removed and a written account of what we cleaned, what we could not reach and what we observed on the way. We tell you which sections we cleaned and identify anything we could not safely reach rather than reporting it as cleaned.

What this service is not. Cleaning is not a medical or health treatment. If your concern is a health symptom, please speak with a physician. If it is active mold growth or a moisture problem, that calls for a qualified remediation professional rather than a cleaner. We will say so rather than sell you a cleaning instead.

We stand behind the quality of our workmanship and will address concerns related to the agreed scope of service.

Step by step

What happens on the visit.

System inspection

We inspect the system, count vents and returns, note the number of air handlers, check access points, and look for visible mold growth, moisture or damage before starting. If we find conditions outside a cleaning scope, we tell you before any work begins.

Negative-pressure vacuum

Vacuum equipment connects to the trunk line and places the system under negative pressure so dislodged debris is drawn into the collection unit and carried off site rather than released into the room.

Rotary brush agitation

Brushes travel through accessible duct runs to dislodge settled debris that vacuum alone does not lift.

Register and return cleaning

Supply vents, return vents and register covers are cleaned individually.

Optional treatments

Antimicrobial treatment for compatible affected surfaces and sanitizing treatment are available as add-ons, applied to compatible surfaces according to the manufacturer's EPA-registered label directions. Product information is available on request. These treatments are not mold remediation.

Walk-through

We review what was cleaned, what was not accessible, and what we observed about the system's condition.

Equipment and access

What "one system" means, and what we bring for it.

One air handler, its trunk, its branch runs and its return. A second air handler is a second system, counted and estimated separately at the same published rates.

Reasons customers call

When an inspection is worth booking.

  • Visible dust or debris at the vents
  • A musty or stale odor when the system runs
  • Debris visible inside the duct or register boot
  • Recent renovation or construction work
  • A new home purchase with unknown service history
  • Pets that shed heavily
  • Vermin activity in or around ductwork
  • A dryer taking longer to dry a load

These are reasons to have the system inspected. An inspection tells us whether cleaning is warranted and what it can reach — it is not a diagnosis of a health condition.

Debris leaves with us

Cleaning removes the accessible accumulated debris included in the service scope, and the collected material leaves the property in the collection unit rather than being redistributed into the room.

Counted, not guessed

The estimate is built from the vent and return count and the number of air handlers, using published per-vent rates, so you can check the arithmetic yourself before you agree to it.

You see what we found

We report which runs were cleaned, which were not accessible, and any moisture, damage or visible growth we observed, so you can make decisions about the system with accurate information.

Dryer vent lint removal

Dryer vent cleaning removes lint from the accessible exhaust line. Lint accumulation is a recognized fire hazard; cleaning reduces accumulation but does not eliminate fire risk, and the line needs ongoing maintenance.

Air duct cleaning FAQ

Questions we get asked before booking.

How much does air duct cleaning cost in metro Atlanta?

A system base of $155.25 plus $15.53 per vent or register. Most homes have 8–15 vents, putting a typical estimate between $279.49 and $388.20. Homes with more than one HVAC system are quoted per system. Final scope and price are confirmed before work begins after the system layout, vent and return count, number of air handlers and accessibility are reviewed.

How often should air ducts be cleaned?

NADCA suggests having the system inspected every few years and cleaned when inspection shows it is warranted. The EPA does not recommend duct cleaning on a routine schedule; it suggests cleaning when there is visible mold growth inside ducts, vermin infestation, or ducts clogged with substantial deposits of dust and debris. Consider an inspection if you see debris around vents, after renovation work, or when moving into a home whose service history you do not know.

What exactly do I get for the money?

Air duct cleaning removes accessible accumulated debris from reachable duct runs, supply registers and returns, and the collected material leaves the property with us. How much a cleaning can reach depends on duct material, layout, the number of access points and whether runs are rigid, flexible or buried in inaccessible spaces. We report which runs were cleaned and which were not accessible. We stand behind the quality of our workmanship and will address concerns related to the agreed scope of service.

Will duct cleaning fix my allergies or improve my health?

We do not make that claim. Cleaning is not a medical or health treatment. If your concern is a health symptom, please speak with a physician. If it is active mold growth or a moisture problem, that calls for a qualified remediation professional rather than a cleaner. Duct cleaning is a mechanical cleaning of the accessible parts of your system, and indoor air quality also depends on filtration, duct leakage, humidity, ventilation and sources inside the rooms themselves.

Do sanitizer or antimicrobial treatments prevent mold?

No. Optional treatments are not mold remediation and do not prevent future mold growth. They are applied to compatible surfaces according to the manufacturer's EPA-registered label directions, and we make no claim beyond the label. If we see moisture or suspected active growth we tell you and recommend a qualified remediation professional to assess it and correct the moisture source.

Do you also clean dryer vents?

Yes. Dryer vent cleaning is $115.00 on its own, or $70.00 when it is added to an air duct cleaning on the same visit, because the crew and the equipment are already at your home. Lint accumulation in dryer exhaust lines is a recognized fire hazard and restricts airflow. We clean the accessible portion of the exhaust line. Cleaning reduces lint accumulation but does not eliminate fire risk, and the line should be maintained on an ongoing basis.

How long does air duct cleaning take?

Most single-system homes take 2–4 hours depending on home size, vent count and access. We use negative-pressure vacuum equipment and rotary brush agitation on accessible duct runs, registers and returns. Sections that cannot be safely reached are identified for you rather than reported as cleaned.

My house has two air handlers. Is that one job or two?

Two. One system means one air handler, its trunk, its branch runs and its return. A second air handler is a second system, counted and estimated separately at the same published rates.
