How Much is Air Duct Cleaning?

Updated 2.17.2026

Here’s the truth: If you manage a home, you’re already doing a lot. You remember appointments, restock snacks before anyone notices they’re gone, and somehow keep the chaos from boiling over, most days.

Real ones know, to do it all for your family, you need some help with things like deep cleaning. And you especially need help cleaning a place you can’t clean yourself: your air ducts.

So when you ask, “How much does air duct cleaning cost?” what you’re really asking is: is it important to do?

And we're here to tell you that, yes, it’s important and worth it for the cleaner air and peace of mind.

Proper air duct cleaning means dust, dander and debris gets removed from every accessible inch of your HVAC system. Think of it as a detox for your home’s lungs. This should be done every three to five years, or sooner if life’s been especially lifey (new baby, pets, renovations, mystery odors… you get it).

Expect to pay anywhere from $450 to $1,000, depending on your system and home layout. Just think of it as the cost of breathing easier and having greater peace of mind for yourself and for your HVAC system. It’s not a splurge. It’s smart upkeep. (And again, it’s not something you typically need to do every year.)

Like anything in home management, cost depends on context. Here’s what can impact the result of an estimate:

• Type of ductwork (metal, flex or duct board)
• System size and number of air handling units.
• Accessibility of the ductwork
• Level of contamination (think construction debris, pet hair or even a LEGO or two)
• Environmental factors (like pets, smoking or proximity to a large city)

Sound complicated? No need to sweat it. We’ll figure it all out for you during your free estimate. 

Most air duct cleaning services fall into one of these pricing models:

• Per Vent: You’re charged per register or grille.
• Flat Fee + Vent: A base price, plus additional charges per vent.
• Per Square Foot: Based on the size of your home.

Our estimate is customized based on what your system needs, not a cookie-cutter package. That means no surprise fees or “whoops, we didn’t mean the whole house” switch-ups. Just honest pricing and thorough cleaning. That’s why we come out to give you a custom estimate.

While your air duct cleaning is underway, it’s a great time to consider:

• Dryer Vent Cleaning: Clogged dryer vents slow down your laundry cycle. We clean the full vent system—from lint trap to exterior exhaust—and even install vent guards when needed.
• In-Duct Air Purifier (PROformance™)
  This little powerhouse runs 24/7 to neutralize airborne bacteria and viruses between cleanings. It’s like skincare for your HVAC: ongoing, preventative and totally worth it.

You’ve seen the ads: “$99 whole-home duct cleaning.” Spoiler alert: it’s usually per vent. Some other companies actually do charge that amount, but they do little more than vacuum the vent cover.

A real duct cleaning includes source removal, meaning the dust doesn’t get blown around. It gets taken out. That’s our approach: life brings it in, we take it out and you get the peace of mind.

Your home, your HVAC system and your air quality needs are one-of-a-kind. That’s why we always start with a free inspection to give you a personalized estimate.

We bring our own gear, never subcontract and deliver results you can see, feel and breathe.
