Air Duct Cleaning Cost & Free Quote

The first thing you should know is there are no regulations on air duct cleaning, so anyone can say they can do it. However, there is a certification you can get that gives a specific standard as to how an air duct cleaning should be done. Here at Bee’s, we are the only home HVAC system duct cleaning company that has a certified NADCA (National Air Duct Cleaners Association) technician on every truck. This ensures that your home HVAC system is thoroughly cleaned, improving indoor air quality and helping you save money on energy bills.

There are three methods of air duct cleaning. The first and most common that you see advertised is what they call a rotobrush duct cleaning. What that means is they will come in with a glorified shop vac and get what is right at the air vent, but there is no way their hose can get down your whole duct system to give you a thorough cleaning. That is why they can charge $299 for a whole home duct cleaning, because they are in and out of your home HVAC system within an hour.

The second method of duct vent cleaning you can get is called Ram Air Cleaning. That is where they take a clear box that has two holes for a hose and vacuum. They blow air into the vent and use the vacuum to suck at the same time. This method is better than the rotobrush method, but it is very messy and can cause a lot of dust buildup, dust debris, and dirty ducts to fly around your house, impacting indoor air quality.

The final method is called Source Removal or Negative Pressure Removal. This is the method we use here at Bee’s. This is also the only method that meets NADCA standards. With source removal cleaning, we have a big vacuum that we stick to where the duct system and furnace meet, also called the plenum. That puts your HVAC system under negative pressure, ensuring all air ducts are properly cleaned. We then use compressed air and rubberized whips at each air duct vent, starting on the supply side furthest from the furnace. We go from the air vent all the way down the trunk line and repeat again on the return side. We then create an access point in the ductwork system and use stiff bristle brushes to remove all dust dirt and contaminants. This process normally takes two air duct cleaners anywhere from four to six hours for a one-system house. You should expect to pay anywhere from $800 to $2000, depending on the square footage of your home. The duct cleaning cost may vary depending on factors such as the size of home, the number of air vents, and whether additional services such as mold remediation or dryer vent cleaning are needed.

I have also made a list of important things to know when getting quotes for Northern Colorado air duct cleaning:

• Always get the quote in writing. Make sure it has exactly what they are doing and charging.
• What method of duct cleaning services they do.
• Are the technicians that will be performing the work NADCA certified? Having certified technicians means you can be confident that they are educated and equipped to identify hazards that may make your indoor air quality worse, such as asbestos removal or loose fiberglass.
