Every job, and how urgent it really is

Can wait Air Duct Cleaning Worth doing when there is visible mold, evidence of vermin, or enough debris that it is being blown into the rooms. Not worth doing just because a few years have passed — and we will say so. What to look for → Call today Dryer Vent Cleaning The one on this list that is actually urgent. Lint restricts the vent, the dryer runs hotter and longer, and thousands of house fires a year start in a clothes dryer. What to look for → This week Coil and Blower Cleaning More often the real culprit than the ducts. The coil and blower wheel sit at the start of the airflow and collect the finest material — and a dirty blower wheel costs you airflow everywhere. What to look for → Can wait Duct Sanitizing Only worth it after cleaning, and only where growth was actually found. Sprayed into a clean dry duct system it does close to nothing — we would rather tell you that than sell it. What to look for → This week Duct Mold Inspection Dark material inside a duct is more often dust and fiberglass than mold. Which it is decides whether you need a clean or a remediation, so it is worth knowing before anyone quotes. What to look for → Can wait Attic Ventilation Most badly ventilated attics have plenty of exhaust and no working intake — usually soffit vents buried under insulation. Adding another fan to that does nothing. What to look for → Can wait Air Quality Testing Measures what is actually in the air rather than guessing from a smell. Useful when symptoms are real and the cause is not obvious, and it tells you whether ducts are even involved. What to look for → Can wait Commercial Duct Cleaning Rooftop units, multi-tenant buildings and anywhere the work has to happen out of hours and be documented afterwards for a manager or an insurer. What to look for → Call today Kitchen Exhaust Cleaning Grease in a kitchen riser is a fire load, and it is inspected and insured against. This is a compliance job with a deadline, not a cleaning preference. What to look for →

Start from what you have noticed

Each of these points at a different job, and getting it wrong wastes a visit.

Clothes taking two cycles to dry

A restricted dryer vent. This one is a fire risk — do not leave it. Dryer Vent Cleaning →

A smell in the first minute the system runs

Usually the coil or the blower rather than the ducts themselves. Coil and Blower Cleaning →

Dust blowing out of a register

Worth a look inside the ducts with a camera before anyone quotes. Air Duct Cleaning →

Something dark inside a vent

More often dust and fiberglass than mold. Worth knowing which. Duct Mold Inspection →

Why most duct cleaning is sold badly

The EPA does not recommend routine duct cleaning. Its position is that cleaning has no demonstrated health benefit on its own, and that it is worth doing where there is visible mold, evidence of vermin, or enough debris that it is being blown into the rooms. Most of this trade does not mention that.

The second problem is the coupon. A price per vent quoted over the phone, before anyone has seen the system, is not a quote for cleaning the system — it is a price for turning up. Proper source removal means sealing the ducts, putting them under negative pressure with a HEPA-filtered vacuum, and agitating the interior surfaces, and it takes hours rather than forty minutes.

The third is that the ducts are frequently not the problem. A smell that appears in the first few seconds of a cycle is usually the evaporator coil or the blower wheel; a room that will not get comfortable is usually a leak or a disconnected run. Both are cheaper to fix than a full clean and neither is fixed by one.

So the useful first step is someone looking inside the system and telling you which of those it is — including, quite often, none of them.

How it works

Three steps, and you decide at the end of them.

  1. 1

    You call and describe the problem

    Tell us what you have noticed and where — the room, the smell, the noise, how long it has been going on. Give us your ZIP code and we will match you to a licensed company covering your area. There is no form to fill in.

  2. 2

    A local company takes it from there

    They discuss the problem with you directly, arrange a time to inspect, and agree the work and the price with you before anything starts. That conversation is between you and them.

  3. 3

    You decide whether to go ahead

    You are under no obligation. If the quote or the approach is not what you wanted, you are free to say no and call someone else.

Find your town

What the work involves locally depends on where the ductwork is and how hard the system runs.
