The short answer
The best girl math in Northern Virginia home repair might be this: we put a camera in your ducts for free, and if they’re clean, you just found $598. If they’re dusty, the whole home cleaning is $598 instead of $798, which makes you $200. You can’t lose, mathematically. You also can’t get there without looking, so the photos come first.

| What the photos show | The girl math | The real math |
|---|---|---|
| Bare metal | I made $598 | You spent nothing. Skip it. We’ll say so. |
| Some dust, no remodel | I made $598 by thinking about it | Your call. Change the filter and look again in a while. |
| Caked dust or drywall debris | I made $200 | You spend $598, regularly $798, and it comes out. |
$598 Whole Home Air Duct Cleaning
Every supply and every return line in the house, register covers off, washed and put back, for $598 instead of $798. See the price
What the money buys
Every supply and every return line in the house, register covers off, washed and put back. That price is one HVAC system in a home up to 2,000 square feet. A bigger house or a second system is priced on the duct cleaning page. It doesn’t combine with other offers, except our MOLTN cookies.
When to keep your money
A newer house with no remodel, a filter that gets changed on schedule and clean camera photos is the easy no. Same goes for a house where the dust you’re seeing is on the furniture and the ducts look fine. Girl math and real math agree on this one: you don’t spend it, and you still have it.

| We just renovated. The ducts are part of the renovation budget, so they’re already paid for. | A remodel is one of the better reasons to look, since drywall dust gets everywhere. Finish the work first, then clean, and it comes out of whatever budget you like. |

| The last owner never cleaned them, so it’s really their bill and I’m just collecting. | It’s your bill now, sadly. You don’t know what went on before you moved in, which is the reason to take the free look. |

| Every three to five years works out to almost nothing a year. | Three to five years is a good time to take a look, and how often to clean ducts has the longer answer. Looking doesn’t mean you need the cleaning. |
What we won’t claim
We won’t tell you clean ducts fix anything about your health or your energy bill. We’ll show you what’s in there and take it out if it’s there. Our post on whether duct cleaning is worth it gives you the cases where it isn’t.
Three free moves before you book
- Change the filter and write the date on it with a marker.
- Pull one return grille off and shine a phone light in. Gray fuzz on the duct walls means it’s time for a look.
