Choosing the Right Air Duct Cleaning Company: Understanding Pricing Models and Industry Standards

When it comes to selecting an air duct cleaning company for your home or business, it’s essential to consider the pricing models and industry standards they adhere to.

Per Square Foot vs. Per Air Vent Pricing

Some companies charge based on the square footage of your property, while others bill per air vent. It’s crucial to understand that air duct cleaners charging per vent may overlook critical components such as air returns, plenum, blower wheel, and coils. This oversight can result in a cleaning that falls short of National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA) standards. Additional charges may apply for cleaning these essential areas of the HVAC system.

Opting for Comprehensive Cleaning

Choosing a company that follows guidelines and procedures for thorough duct cleaning is paramount. This process typically takes between 2.5 to 4.5 hours and is quoted using a per-square-foot pricing model.

Our goal is to minimize allergens, and irritants to provide cleaner air circulation through the HVAC system.

Air duct cleaning reduces the concentration of allergens in the air that build up in the ductwork overtime. Common allergens like dust, pollen, pet dander, and mold spores can enter the home through various avenues, such as open windows, doors, from pets, and on the clothing. Once inside the ducts, these particles can circulate throughout the home whenever the HVAC system kicks on. Air duct cleaning creates a healthier indoor environment and may alleviate allergy symptoms such as sneezing, coughing, congestion, and respiratory irritation that may result from exposure to these particles.
