The Environmental Protection Agency says, “That duct cleaning services typically, but not always range in cost from $450 to $1000 per heating and cooling system depending on services offered, the size of system to be cleaned, system accessibility, climatic region, and level of contamination.”  The type of air duct material is also a factor.

  Consumers should beware of “blow and go” air duct companies.  These companies often charge the normal fee, but lack proper equipment, training and do a poor job of cleaning the heating and cooling system.  Such companies have been known to persuade the consumers to buy unneeded services or charged for services performed without consumer’s permission.

If you have knowledge of a practicing “blow and go” air Duct Company, contact The Better Business Bureau to report company.

Benefits of air duct cleaning include lowered energy costs, increased efficiency of your homes ventilation system, asthma and allergy relief, cleaner and healthier air quality, and less dusting.

Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems can act as a collection source for a variety of contaminants that have the potential to affect health, such as fungi, mold, bacteria, and very small particles of dust.  The removal of such contaminants from the HVAC system and home should be considered one component of an overall plan to improve indoor air quality.
