RESIDENTIAL AIR DUCT CLEANING FAQ

The cost of the service varies and depends on factors such as where you live, how dirty your system is, how easy it is for the contractor to access the ducts and what your ducts are made of, and what material is used in the construction of the ducts. However, our expertise, training, and satisfaction guarantee are built into the price of service.

The amount of time it takes to clean a residential HVAC system can vary depending on the complexity of the system. Once a trained technician arrives, they should be able to give you an estimate of how long it will take. For standard purposes, we ask for at least 3-5 hours to get the job done right and to your satisfaction.

Your professionals at ServiceMaster Restore can schedule a time that is most convenient for your family and when most of the household is not present. Depending on the magnitude of the job, we should have your house back to normal operation in a matter of a few hours.

We recommend air duct cleaning every three to five years. Customers should consider more frequent cleaning of their duct systems if their home has any of the following: 

Duct cleaning can be noisy. It is best to do it when most family members are not present. Clear work areas. Ask your technician how much space is needed around each air vent register and how much space they will need around the furnace and air conditioner. It is best to have these areas cleared beforehand. Prior to cleaning, perform a walkthrough of your home to go over where protective coverings such as drop and corner guards will be placed. Also, it is necessary to go over the ducts, how they will be cleaned, and the accessibility of it.

Air duct cleaning helps: 

To help maintain clean air ducts, change air filters based on the manufacturer’s recommendations. Regular vacuuming will also help reduce pet dander and airborne dirt and debris.
