When it's worth it
- Dust settles on furniture within a day or two of cleaning
- You've done a remodel or drywall work
- You have pets that shed
- The home went through a wildfire smoke season
- You moved into a home and don't know the history
- You see dust puffing from vents when the furnace starts
What a proper cleaning includes
- Negative pressure on the main trunk line
- Agitation of every supply and return run
- Return box and register cleaning
- The furnace blower checked and cleaned
- Before and after photos
What to be wary of
A quote that only vacuums the vent covers, or a price that seems too low for a whole system, usually means the ducts themselves aren't being cleaned.
How often
Every three to five years for most homes, sooner with pets, allergies or renovations.
$99 Air Duct Inspection. Camera look inside your ducts plus an airflow check. Book the cleaning and the $99 comes off your price.
