1. Geographic location. Where you live can be an important factor in determining the cost of duct cleaning. Prices tend to be higher in large, metropolitan areas and a little bit lower in small towns. Additionally, if you live in a remote area and the duct cleaners must travel a significant distance to your home, you can expect to pay a little extra.
2. Residential vs. Commercial. Home duct cleaning is typically more affordable than commercial duct cleaning. Commercial duct cleaners provide services to office buildings, retail stores, hospitals, schools, restaurants, and other buildings.
3. Size of Home. Larger homes tend to have longer ducts and more vents. The number of vents or the linear footage of ducts may help to determine the cost of your project. Additionally, if you have more than one duct system in your home, this has the potential to double the cost of cleaning.
4. Ductwork repairs. Are the ducts in good condition? How long has it been since the last time the ducts were cleaned? If the ductwork is in poor condition or it hasn't been cleaned recently, you can expect to pay higher prices for cleaning services. Any duct repairs will come at an additional cost.
5. Chemical treatment. Applying a sealant, biocide, or chemical treatment will add to the cost of duct cleaning.
6. Dryer vent cleaning. Dryer vent cleaning is not typically included in the cost of duct cleaning. However, for an additional cost, most duct cleaners can take care of this service for you. Lint build-up in the dryer vent can be a very serious fire hazard.
7. Mold remediation. Most duct cleaners can deal with minor mold and mildew problems. More serious mold issues should be handled by a mold removal specialist. This will increase the cost of cleaning your HVAC ducts.
8. Asbestos testing and removal. Some older duct work systems may contain asbestos. If your contractor suspects any asbestos, samples will need to be sent to the lab for testing. The cost of asbestos removal or abatement can be expensive.
9. Additional services. Some duct cleaners offer additional home services like carpet cleaning and chimney sweeping. Any extra service will increase the cost of your project.
10. Cleanup. The cost of cleanup should be included in the duct cleaner’s estimate. Make sure to get it in writing.
