A: There is no simple way to tell and certainly can't be done over the phone. The best thing to do is call DUCTZ for a free evaluation of your system. If it doesn't need to be cleaned, we'll tell you. If it does, we'll be glad to give you a free estimate while we're there.

A: There are numerous factors that go into figuring the price of a duct cleaning, including the age of the system, the ductwork (i.e. metal, internally lined, fiberglass, flexible), accessibility, known problems and size of the home. Because of this, we recommend that you have someone come and look at your system before giving you a price. DUCTZ will give you a free quote, and our trained estimator will be glad to explain our price to you.

A: According to the EPA document #402-K-97-002, it should take between six and eight hours to thoroughly clean your cooling and heating system and ductwork — less than that and you're probably not getting what you're paying for. A DUCTZ job will usually take two workers between six and ten hours to complete.

A: DUCTZ uses state-of-the-art equipment and tools to clean your system. Depending on the type of ductwork, it will be cleaned using the tool that gives the best results. For example, metal ductwork can be cleaned aggressively using whips or brush tools that are designed to whip around and "scrub" the duct surface. However, these should never be used on fiberglass ductboard, as the fiberglass would be torn loose and end up in your living environment. In order to ensure that the fiberglass duct surface is as clean as possible, we hand-vacuum it.
