"Dillon was a great guy and worked fast and efficient. My house is 50 plus years old and the duct work had never been cleaned. Post the work, the house even smelled better. I am in the middle of a complete remodel and living in the house. I had all 11 vent grilles removed -(saved Dillon a pile of time not having to remove and re-install) and I would have thought a discount would have been in order."

"Air Conditioner outdoor fan stop running Memorial Day weekend, called 4 area companies and the only one to call back was Fosters. Scott was in and out replacing a bad capacitor unit. Was so thankful for him getting back to us when the temperture was over 90 degrees. He was professional and would recommend Fosters to everyone! Used my 5% off coupon from Angies List! Thanks Scott!"

"This company is so professional and courteous. I contacted 5 different companies for quotes and these guys and one other contractor were the only two who did not trash talk every other company. Trash talking another company really does nothing for a business. Jed worked very hard at getting us a low price and was extremely prompt in their service. No they do not have a "showy" showcase at their place of business like some do but then they pass that savings onto the customer. The two receptionists were extremely professional and polite. In my opinion I would recommend these people to anyone. We ended up replacing both the air conditioner and furnace as well as had a humidifier installed, as well as two new air return ducts cut in. Thank you for the professional service."

Air Duct Cleaning questions, answered by experts

While your forced heating system runs, it can pick up dirt, dust, hair, and other particles from inside your house. Changing your furnace filters regularly is key to preventing this debris from getting stuck in your ducts and swirling around your home. With some types of furnaces, there’s also the potential for carbon monoxide leaks. However, staying up-to-date with your HVAC inspections and installing carbon monoxide sensors can help mitigate this risk.

To get water out of AC vents, first identify the source of the water. Check other air vents in your home for signs of moisture. If you can’t find any, look around the room for anything that might have seeped water in like an overwatered plant or a spill. Meanwhile, if you notice more than one air vent wet in other areas of your home, it’s more than likely an issue with your insulation, roof, or air conditioner. Start by hiring an HVAC technician who can trace the source of the leak for you.

A floor return vent needs a clearance of between 6 and 12 inches in front of it. You should not place large furniture, such as shelves, drapes, or couches, directly in front of a return air vent.

The average cost for professional air duct cleaning is about $380, with typical prices ranging from $270 to $500. The final cost can vary depending on several factors, including your location, the number of vents, the total length and accessibility of the ducts, and the extent of cleaning required. The type of ducts you have also plays a role, as flexible ducts can be more difficult and time-consuming to clean, potentially increasing labor costs. Additional services, such as removing pests, mold, mildew, or asbestos, and any necessary repairs, will also add to the total cost.

If possible, avoid placing furniture in front of a return air vent. A blocked air vent can cause your HVAC system to use more energy, which in turn can lower the life span of your unit and raise your energy bill. Furniture can also trap hot or cold air, damaging your furniture or appliances. 

Professional duct installers suggest leaving between six and 12 inches of space in front of an air return vent. If you must place furniture in front of a return air vent, try to aim for putting furniture over a floor vent instead of in front of a wall vent, and avoid draping curtains over any vent system.
