When you need it
Signs your ducts need cleaning
The EPA does not recommend routine duct cleaning without a reason. These are the reasons:
- Mold growth you can see on hard surfaces inside ducts or HVAC components
- Pests such as rodents or insects nesting in vents or ductwork
- Excess dust clogging vents or blowing into rooms when the system starts
- Odors coming from the ducts after smoking, pets or water damage

Our process
How we clean your ducts
- 01
Negative pressure containment
A high-powered HEPA vacuum connects to your duct system, pulling loosened debris out and keeping dust from escaping into your home.
- 02
Agitation
Brushes, air whips and compressed-air tools scrub caked-on dust and contaminants from every duct run.
- 03
Component cleaning
We clean the blower motor, coils and registers, the parts that decide how clean your air stays.
- 04
Optional biocide
For odor or microbial growth on hard metal ducts, we can follow with an EnviroCON treatment.

At Breathe Clean Services, NADCA-standard duct cleaning is $1,495 per system for homes up to 2,500 sq ft and $2,495 per system from 2,501 to 5,000 sq ft. Homes over 5,000 sq ft are quoted individually.
Does the EPA recommend routine duct cleaning?
No. The EPA does not recommend routine cleaning unless there’s a specific reason: visible mold growth inside hard duct surfaces, pests nesting in vents, excessive dust blowing from registers, or odors from past smoking, pets or water damage. We’ll tell you honestly if your ducts don’t need it.
How long does duct cleaning take?
A thorough cleaning usually takes two to four hours per system.
How do I avoid duct cleaning scams?
Duct cleaning is largely unregulated. Be wary of very low flat rates, which are often bait for upsells. Look for a company that follows NADCA standards, uses negative-pressure HEPA containment and cleans the blower and coils, not just the vents.
