Affordable Duct Cleaning

Have a duct cleaning-related question? We have the answer. Check out these FAQs and give us a call today for more information!

  • How long does the process take?

    This all depends on the size of your home, how many vents you have, and the amount of debris in your system. From our experience, a standard-size home (approximately 1,200 sq ft) can take anywhere from three to five hours. If you have a larger home, our air duct cleaning services can take up to eight hours!

  • What do I need to do before my appointment?

    We don’t ask our customers to do much! Our technicians will handle the heavy lifting. It would be helpful if you could remove/secure any knickknacks or breakable valuables on the furniture we have to move. To get started and schedule your air duct cleaning service with us, call our team today.

  • Can I be home during the cleaning process?

    Yes, of course! Our technicians will have to go into each room that has a return or supply vent, but you can absolutely be there. From our professional experience, the only time you would need to leave is if you have the sanitizer applied to your system after the HVAC or air duct cleaning process. In that event, we recommend that you leave your home for an hour after the application.

  • How loud is the cleaning?

    The noise our HVAC and air duct cleaning makes is comparable to a loud vacuum. Our technicians at Affordable Duct Cleaning use a HEPA vacuum and air compressor to remove the debris. It isn’t extremely loud, but it may interrupt a phone call!

  • Is it safe for babies and pets?

    Yes! Other than the loud noise you may experience, the air duct cleaning process is safe for everyone!

  • Do you need access to all of my vents?

    To properly clean your entire system, we do need to go into each individual vent. In the event we can’t access a vent, we will clean the attached duct work to the best of our ability through access panels in the basement.


    According to the EPA, Americans, on average, spend approximately 90% of their time indoors. Keep your space clean and healthy with our professional HVAC and air duct cleaning services.

  • Can you show me before and after pictures?

    Yes! Our air duct cleaning technicians will absolutely take pictures, especially of the heavily soiled areas.

  • Will you cut into my ductwork?

    Yes. To properly clean your entire system, our technicians will cut a few openings in your ductwork to ensure all areas are reached. When our air duct cleaning professionals are done, they will properly seal these openings with sheet metal plates and aluminum tape. Don’t worry. These access panels will not affect your system.

  • How often should I get this cleaning done?

    According to the National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA), this cleaning should be performed every three to five years or if you have had any recent construction done in your home! To learn more about the air duct cleaning process, contact our team today.

  • How much does it cost?

    Our pricing is calculated by the total number of vents in your home, the return, and the supply. If you’d like to go around your home, count them, and call our office, we can provide you with an accurate price! We're proud to offer the exhaust, HVAC, and air duct cleaning you can depend on.
