The final bill for your air duct service depends on a few straightforward factors. We look at the total square footage of your home, the number of vents and return registers you have, and the specific layout of your HVAC system. If you have multiple furnace units or an especially complex ductwork configuration, that adds to the labor time. We also consider the level of buildup inside the system, as systems that haven't been cleaned in many years often require extra attention to get debris-free. We keep things simple and honest.

Several signs indicate your airducts might need cleaning. You might notice increased dust around your vents, or a persistent musty or moldy smell when your HVAC system runs. If you or family members experience unexplained allergy symptoms or respiratory issues that improve when you're away from home, it's a strong indicator. Visible dust buildup on your vents or in your system is also a clear sign. These issues can be common in humid New Orleans.
