How Is Air Duct Cleaning Done?
A brief overview about air duct cleaning
Air duct cleaning has been the subject of some confusion. But in reality, it is quite simple. Most homeowners never have their air ducts cleaned simply because they cannot see just how dirty they really are. The truth is air ducts are the easiest way to deposit all kinds of dirt, dust and debris inside a home.
The process of air duct cleaning goes like this. First, a spinning brush is pushed in the ductwork of your home. This loosens any dust and dirt inside the duct. Then, a powerful vacuum sucks out all of the dust and dirt. Sometimes pressurized air is used to loosen the dust and dirt, depending on the heating/cooling system. Finally, the furnace coil is cleaned along with any switch components and blower. Finally, a fogging unit is used to sanitize the duct system.
No mystery. Pretty easy to understand. This kind of service requires somebody who is knowledgeable in duct cleaning with the equipment to do it. It is just about impossible for a homeowner to do this themselves since the equipment is expensive, and requires some training to operate.
Here is a picture of a duct before and after cleaning. This is very typical of ductwork that has never been cleaned.

How Do You Know If YOUR Air Ducts Need Cleaning?
An easy way to find out
The best way to find out is to contact a company that can provide you with a free video inspection of your ductwork. This is a surefire method to see just what is inside your ducts and how dirty they really are. A lot of buildup occurs in the cold air returns which suck in air toward the furnace.
Our company uses a video inspection camera like this:

How Much Does It Cost To Get My Air Ducts Cleaned?
A rule of thumb
Estimates can vary widely from company to company. Even here in Fargo, I have seen as much as 150% difference in bids! Our company is up front about pricing, and typically, a home will cost from $250-500, depending on the size of the home. Extra costs usually involve homes with more than one furnace or extremely difficult ductwork to reach.
This kind of work takes 5-8 hours on average with 2 technicians on the job.
