The frequency of air duct cleaning depends on several factors, such as the size and age of your property, the number and type of pets you have, the presence of smokers, the level of pollution in your area and any recent renovations or water damage. Generally, it is recommended to have your air ducts cleaned every 3 to 5 years, or more often if you notice signs of poor air quality, such as dust accumulation, musty odors, allergies or asthma symptoms.
The duration and cost of air duct cleaning vary depending on the size and condition of your ductwork, the number and location of vents and registers, the type of equipment and methods used and the level of service you choose. Typically, it takes 2 to 4 hours and costs between $300 and $700 for an average residential property. We can provide a quote over the phone, and sent to you via email.

Great question! While most homes have air ducts, no two duct systems are exactly alike.
Ductwork can differ in:
Material (metal, flex duct, duct board)
Size and diameter
Layout and design
Furnace or air handler location
Number of supply and return vents
Accessibility (attic, crawlspace, basement, roof)
Because of this, professional air duct cleaners adjust their tools and techniques to fit your specific system.
This is why true specialists—like Colorado Duct Doctors—never take a one-size-fits-all approach.
Customizing the equipment means selecting the right size and type of:
Air whips, brushes, and agitation tools
(Different sizes and materials work better on different types of ductwork.)
Vacuum suction strength
(Bigger systems need more power; fragile systems need controlled suction to prevent damage.)
Air hoses, rods, and lengths
(We adjust based on your home’s layout to reach the entire system.)
We assess your system before we start, so the cleaning is effective without risking damage.
You risk:
Incomplete cleaning, leaving debris behind.
Damage to delicate ductwork, especially flex duct or ductboard.
Wasting money on a cheap service that doesn’t actually improve airflow or air quality.
Some companies use carpet cleaning equipment or underpowered vacuums that aren’t designed for full-system duct cleaning.
At Colorado Duct Doctors, ventilation is all we do, and we use specialized, professional equipment designed for thorough, safe results.
