How long does air duct cleaning take?

Ceiling-level air vent opening with the register removed, showing dust inside

Many homes take a few hours. A small home with easy access will be quicker than a large home with two systems and hard-to-reach ducts.

What changes the time

  • The number of vents and returns
  • The number of HVAC systems
  • How much buildup there is
  • Attic or crawl space access
  • Whether repairs are needed too

Can I stay home during the cleaning?

Usually, yes. There will be equipment noise, and crews need access to each vent and the indoor unit. Let us know about pets or anyone with breathing problems when you book.

How to prepare

  • Clear access to vents and the indoor unit
  • Move fragile items away from registers
  • Put pets in a separate room
  • Tell us about any known duct problems
