Right-Size the Air Duct Cleaning Scope
Single-system homes commonly land between $325 and $450, while smaller jobs may be near $300. Those figures are useful only when the proposal says which supplies, returns, trunk lines, plenums, and system components the crew will clean. Match the estimate to the system instead of assuming every cleanout covers the same work.
- Count supply and return vents and confirm whether the main trunk line is included.
- Price dryer vent cleaning separately when its different tooling and lint-removal scope are needed.
- Use a camera inspection or basic air quality check to confirm the contamination level before choosing a full cleaning.
