How Much Does Air Duct Cleaning Cost? A Homeowner’s Guide

If you’ve been sneezing more often, noticing extra dust, or wondering if your HVAC system is running efficiently, it might be time to consider professional air duct cleaning. One of the first questions homeowners ask is: How much does air duct cleaning actually cost? In this guide, we’ll break down the average price, what affects the cost, and how you can save with our limited-time promotion.


Typical Cost Range for Air Duct Cleaning

The cost of air duct cleaning varies based on your home’s size, layout, and how many vents need to be serviced. Here’s a general breakdown:

  • Smaller homes or condos (under 1,500 sq. ft.): $300 – $500
  • Average-sized homes (1,500 – 2,500 sq. ft.): $400 – $600
  • Larger homes (2,500+ sq. ft. or complex layouts): $600 – $1,000+

Some companies charge per vent (usually $25 to $50 each), while others offer flat-rate pricing. The best approach is full-system cleaning that covers all ducts, returns, and the main HVAC trunk lines.

What Affects the Cost?

Several elements can influence your total duct cleaning cost:

  • Number of vents and returns: More ductwork means more cleaning time.
  • Accessibility of your system: Crawl spaces, attic access, or older ductwork may increase pricing.
  • Condition of the ducts: If there’s heavy buildup, pet hair, or visible mold, more work (and time) is required.
  • Additional services: Dryer vent cleaning, sanitizing, or filter replacement may be offered as add-ons.

Is Duct Cleaning Really Worth It?

Yes—when done correctly. Professional duct cleaning helps reduce allergens, dust, and contaminants circulating through your air. It can also improve HVAC efficiency, leading to lower utility bills and extended system life. Most experts recommend having your air ducts cleaned every 3–5 years, or sooner if you’ve recently completed renovations, have pets, or are noticing indoor air quality issues.
