Short answer: Most air duct cleaning jobs we do in Vermont run about $1,500 to $2,500. The price depends on your home’s size, how many furnaces or systems you have, and how many supply and return vents there are. Be wary of $99 whole-system offers; they’re a common bait-and-switch.
What drives the price
- Number of systems. Each furnace or air handler has its own set of ducts.
- Number of vents, both supply registers and return grilles.
- Size and layout of the home, including ducts in attics, crawlspaces and finished basements.
- How much buildup there is. Renovation dust and years of pet hair take longer to remove.
Why national averages look lower
You’ll see lower national figures online, often a few hundred dollars per system. Those numbers usually assume one small system, and many low-priced jobs don’t clean the full system. A cleaning that pulls the buildup out of the supply lines, return lines and trunk lines with strong vacuum suction takes a crew several hours. That’s what our price covers.
Watch out for $99 duct cleaning offers
Consumer groups and the duct-cleaning industry’s own trade group have warned about cheap whole-house duct cleaning offers. The low price gets someone in the door, then it climbs with add-ons, or the job is a quick vacuum at the registers. Ask what’s included in writing, and ask the company to show you any problem they say they found.
What’s included with us
We use a powerful HEPA-filtered vacuum and air-powered agitation tools to pull dust and debris out of your supply lines, return lines and main trunk lines, and we clean the registers and grille covers. The dust ends up in our equipment, not your home, and our crew wears boot covers inside. Most air duct cleaning jobs we do run about $1,500 to $2,500, priced from your home’s size, how many furnaces or systems you have, and how many supply and return vents there are. Tell us those details and we’ll give you a typical price range based on the jobs we’ve been doing lately. If your system doesn’t need cleaning, we’ll tell you.
Ways to save
- Have your dryer vent done in the same visit. It’s a separate line from your HVAC ducts and is priced separately, but it saves a second trip.
- Only clean when it’s needed. Ducts don’t need cleaning on a schedule.
