How much does air duct cleaning cost?
We've got a whole house ventilation system that's never been cleaned in the eight years we've lived here. The vents look dusty and I dread to think what's inside the ducting. What does a proper clean cost? Or can I just do this myself easily
Expert Trade Answers
"Without the correct equipment, a proper duct clean can be difficult to carry out effectively yourself. Simply vacuuming the visible vents won’t necessarily remove the dust and debris further inside the ductwork.
For a whole-house ventilation system that hasn’t been cleaned for around eight years, I’d recommend having the system professionally inspected and cleaned using the appropriate duct-cleaning equipment.
As a rough guide, you’d be looking at around £400–£550 per day, depending on your location and the size and complexity of the system. The actual cost would depend on how accessible the ductwork is and how much cleaning is required.
If you let me know your location and what type of ventilation system you have (MVHR, MEV, etc.), I can give you a better idea of what would be involved."
