What does duct cleaning cost, and is it worth doing?
Duct cleaning is quoted per vent or as a whole-system price, and the two are not comparable — a count of supply and return openings is what makes a quote checkable. It is worth doing after a renovation, after a rodent problem, or when a house changes hands, and it is not a yearly requirement.
Ranges come from the same pricing engine a real task is quoted against. Dryer vents, sanitising and anything inside the furnace cabinet are separate — count your supply and return openings before comparing two prices. How we price
What a duct cleaning visit should cover
The count is the contract. Agree the number of openings before anyone arrives and the price cannot move at the door.
- Every supply and return opening counted with you, and the number written down
- A vacuum connected to the trunk line, so the dust leaves the house rather than moving around it
- Each branch agitated with a brush or an air whip, not only suction at the register
- The return side done as thoroughly as the supply side
- The furnace filter changed at the end, because the old one is now loaded
- Photographs from inside the trunk before and after, not of the register cover
The number that makes a quote checkable
A very low whole-home price advertised without a vent count is the oldest pattern in this trade and the GTA sees a lot of it. The advertised figure covers a fixed number of openings, the house has more, and the difference is priced at the door by somebody already standing in the basement. It is not always a bait — some of those companies do good work at the real number. Either way the fix is on your side and it takes ten minutes: walk the house, count every supply register and every cold-air return, and put that count in the post. A price quoted against a count is a price you can hold someone to.

What it does, and the two things it does not
It removes settled construction dust, drywall grit, pet hair and whatever a previous owner left in the trunk lines, and after a renovation or a rodent problem that is a real, visible result. It does not fix mould, because mould in a duct means moisture is arriving from somewhere — a humidifier, a leak, a cold surface — and cleaning it away without finding the source is a visit you will repeat. And it is not an allergy treatment. The evidence that a routine clean improves symptoms in an ordinary, dry house is thin, and a filter with a higher rating changed on time does more for the air in the room than an annual clean does.
