NADCA recommends having residential air ducts cleaned every 3 to 5 years for most homes. You should clean them sooner if you've had recent renovation work, new pets, a smoker in the home, visible mold growth on the registers, or noticeable allergy symptoms that don't have another explanation. Dryer vents should be cleaned annually, that one's a fire-safety issue, not a comfort one.

Yes, when it's done correctly. A real source-removal duct cleaning (HEPA-filtered vacuum plus mechanical brush agitation) measurably reduces dust, pet dander, pollen, and other particulates circulating through your HVAC system. What it won't do is replace your air filter or fix a moldy crawlspace. We'll tell you straight if duct cleaning is the right intervention for your situation, or if something else is.

Every home and system is different, so we don't advertise one-size-fits-all pricing. Estimates are always no cost: a quick walk-through, then one flat rate in writing before any work starts, and the quote you get is the quote you pay. If you've seen ads for $79 or $99 "specials," those are bait, there's no version of a complete duct cleaning done right at that price.

A standard single-system home runs 3 to 5 hours, start to finish. Multi-system homes, larger square footage, or systems that haven't been cleaned in 10+ years can take longer. We'd rather take an extra hour and do it right than rush and leave dust behind. The walk-through and quote are free either way.

Yes. We clean dryer vents as a standalone service or bundled with an air duct cleaning. A clogged dryer vent is one of the top causes of residential fires in the U.S., if your dryer is taking two cycles to dry a load, that's the warning sign. We snake the full vent line from the dryer to the exterior cap, capture the lint, and verify airflow before we leave.

A real NADCA-protocol duct cleaning uses professional equipment like our Rotobrush BrushBeast, mechanical brush agitation that reaches every supply and return run, and HEPA filtration on the vacuum. It takes hours and uses specialized equipment that costs tens of thousands of dollars. A $99 "special" is, at best, a shop-vac on a couple of registers; at worst, it's a bait-and-switch where the price jumps to $500-$1,000 at the door once the crew is already on site. We don't do either.

We move light furniture (chairs, side tables) to access registers. We'll ask you to move heavy items (sectionals, beds) before we arrive to keep the job on schedule and avoid damage. We'll cover your floors with drop cloths and use shoe covers, the home will be in better shape when we leave than when we arrived.

We use EPA-registered products applied at label rates, after the cleaning is complete. Most families choose to step out for the application and return shortly after. It's always optional, we'll tell you honestly whether your system would benefit from it at all.
