You’ve seen the ads. Whole house, unlimited vents, seventy-nine dollars. That price does not cover the labour for a proper job, and it isn’t meant to. It exists to get a technician through your front door, at which point the real quote appears — usually framed as necessary add-ons: sanitiser, “deep clean”, per-vent charges, mould treatment.
This is the single most common complaint in our industry, and it’s why homeowners are suspicious of duct cleaners generally. We think that suspicion is earned.
A technician comes out, assesses the system — camera included where we need to see inside a run — and shows you what he finds. Then you get a firm price for the whole job before anyone starts. If the ducts don’t need cleaning, we say so — we’ve told plenty of customers to wait a year or two, and it’s the thing our reviews mention most.
Sometimes the honest answer isn’t cleaning at all. If a duct run is crushed, disconnected or has a degraded liner, cleaning it is money spent on the wrong problem — repair or replacement is the real fix. We’ll show you photographs and tell you which situation you’re in.
Most of the cost of any visit is getting a two-person crew and a truck to your house. Once we’re there, adding the dryer vent or the condenser coil costs far less than a separate trip would. If you’re likely to want both within a year, do them together.
We’ll show you the inside of your own ductwork before you commit to anything — and tell you if you don’t need the work.
We remove the dust, dander and debris circulating through your home every time the HVAC runs — and we show you the photos to prove it.
Some ductwork can’t be cleaned back to healthy. When it’s torn, crushed, disconnected or full of mold, replacement is the honest answer.
The honest answer is every three to five years — but four things move that number, and one of them is specific to living in Georgia.
Paying to clean a duct that’s leaking a third of its air into your attic is money spent on the wrong problem.
