What affects the price
The final cost for your duct cleaning depends on a few practical details. First, we look at the total square footage of your home and the number of individual vents and returns you have. If your system has multiple furnace units or requires extra work to access hard-to-reach areas, that will change the labor involved. We also consider the current condition of your system—specifically if there is significant debris or buildup that requires specialized heavy-duty tools. Your exact pricing is confirmed free on the call.

Frequently asked in San Francisco
What are the signs my San Francisco home's air ducts need cleaning?
Visible dust buildup around vents or on furniture throughout your San Francisco residence is a primary indicator. You might also notice persistent allergies, unexplained respiratory issues, or a musty odor emanating from your HVAC system. If your system is working harder than usual to maintain temperature, especially in neighborhoods like the Marina, it could be due to clogged ducts. Black mold or other fungal growth visible inside the ducts is another critical sign warranting immediate attention. Regular inspections are key to catching these issues early.
