When duct cleaning makes sense
Ducts only exist in homes with forced-air heating or cooling. Boiler homes with radiators and homes heated by mini-splits have none, so this does not apply to them.
The U.S. EPA says there is no good evidence that routine duct cleaning prevents health problems, so it is not something to do on a schedule. It does make sense in a few cases: visible mold in the ducts, signs of pests, ducts clogged with dust or debris, or after a renovation or water damage. If you can see a problem, or want a fresh start in a house you just bought, that is when to book.

Common questions
Does my house have ducts?
If warm or cool air comes out of floor, wall or ceiling registers, yes. Radiators, baseboard heat and mini-splits do not use ducts.
Should I have my ducts cleaned every year?
No. The EPA does not recommend routine duct cleaning. It makes sense after renovation, water damage, or when there is visible mold, pests or heavy debris in the ducts.
Do you repair or seal ducts?
No. This is cleaning only, with no duct repair or modification.
What decides the price beyond $499?
The size of the house, how many runs and registers there are, and how easily the ducts can be reached. You get the price before the visit.
Does it include the furnace or air handler?
No. This service covers the ductwork and registers.
