We were having trouble with our dryer taking a long time to dry a load, so we mostly needed the dryer vent cleaned. However, since we had never had the HVAC air ducts cleaned, we went with the big deal to have them all done. The technician arrived on time, after calling us about a half hour...

When I told them that I need to think about it they just rushed out of the house in 10 min basicaly just vacumming the outside of a couple of my vents in the house, they didn't,t even vacuum all of them. Also the picture shown in the deal is totally deceiving, these guys don't take any picture...

The work went ok. Except they used a device the was shorter than the longer ducts. My biggest turnoff was the $159 up charge as soon as the waked in the door. The come on from Angie's list was $89. I must have been in a weak mood because I agreed to pay the extra. Never again.

Air Duct Cleaning questions, answered by experts

You should have your HVAC serviced at least once per year. A HVAC pro can perform maintenance twice a year if your unit is older or has many issues. You can expect to pay between $100 and $550 for HVAC maintenance, which includes a thorough tune-up, routine service, proactive and reactive maintenance, and emergency maintenance services.

To extend your HVAC system’s lifespan, it’s crucial to keep up with maintenance. This includes changing filters and thermostat batteries, keeping the outside unit clean and clear of clutter, and lubricating moving parts. Watch out for leaks, mold buildup, and blockages to ensure your unit stays in good working order. Spotting these issues early can be the difference between a simple, wallet-friendly repair and an expensive replacement.

To clean an HVAC fresh air intake, start by going outside and figuring out where the intake is located on your home. Then, take a wire brush, rag, or wet/dry vacuum cleaner and use it to remove the built-up dirt and debris that’s accumulated on the external part of the intake.

Yes, professionals check venting ducts to ensure proper air circulation and prevent moisture buildup.

You can partially clean the ductwork yourself using a dryer vent brush and a high-powered vacuum cleaner. However, without the proper equipment, you won’t be able to reach deep inside the ductwork for a thorough cleaning. A professional air duct cleaning company can remove all the dust and debris from your ductwork and address rust before it becomes a more significant issue.
