Duct cleaning can help to remove all sorts of dirt, debris, allergens (such as mold) and anything else that may have accumulated in your duct system over the years.
Duct Cleaning Costs
According to the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) a professional cleaning of your duct system should cost approximately $400-$1200 dollars and take from a half to a full day in a three or four bedroom house.
Carefully consider the decision to have your ducts cleaned. In homes with relatively modern air conditioners and furnaces where filters are regularly replaced, it may not be necessary at all to have this service performed. If, however, you notice the accumulation of dirt, dust or mold in spite of filter maintenance, then air duct cleaning may be required.
The National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA) describes a proper, chemical free duct cleaning procedure as one which uses a powerful vacuum system with multiple brush attachments designed to loosen debris and feed it into the suction. Particles may be blown outside of the house or passed through a HEPA filter inside.
A duct system can be treated with a sealant which prevents dirt and dust from dislodging and entering the air. Sanitizer chemicals may also be applied to prevent the growth of mold and other microbial agents.
Be sure to get multiple estimates and perform a background check on prospective contractors.
Be wary of so-called “blow and go” services. These contractors don’t use proper duct cleaning equipment and duct cleaning tools. Their work can actually release more irritants into the air and necessitate an expensive clean up. Often, contractors who provide such services are un-licensed. They may make claims about the health benefits of duct cleaning and insist it should be done annually, which is not true.
