How Much Does Duct Cleaning Costs?

Purchasing an HVAC system isn’t enough to keep your home cosy; maintaining it regularly is important, too. The duct, for instance, when cleaned and maintained on a regular basis, can impact the efficiency of the HVAC in Kamloops, and its general performance as a whole. 

However, when it comes to the cost of duct cleaning, one certainly cannot pinpoint the exact cost. The experts need to assess the ductwork to determine the estimation. Plus, there are various other factors that impact the final cleaning costs. 

In this article, we will take a look at those factors to help you determine the estimation. 

1- Presence of rodents

If you notice a rodent or two near your ductwork, then you may require paying more for the cleaning of your HVAC, Kamloops, than normal. 

This is because rodents are destructive. Besides leaving their droppings behind, they tend to cause damage to surrounding spaces, too. You might have to call an exterminator along with HVAC cleaners to thoroughly clean the ducts and vent. And hiring an exterminator means spending anywhere around $600 to up. 

2- Number of vents

If the cleaner for HVAC in Kamloops charges per vent, then you require paying anywhere between $20 and $50 for each vent. While some companies offer a flat fee, you still will be charged based on how many vents you have. 

So, you must keep in mind that having multiple vents throughout the property can lead to an expensive duct cleaning process. 

3- Customized ducts

Having customized ducts on your property can attract expensive duct cleaning services, too. This is because maintaining ductwork isn’t easy, let alone a customized one. The technicians will have a hard time cleaning and repairing the ducts properly. 

Also, replacing any spare parts for such ducts can be another added expense. 

In short, difficult ducts can result in 30% or more added cleaning expenses. 

4- Accessibility of the vents and ducts

The first thing technicians will ask you is about the HVAC system’s point of access. If the system is difficult to access, you will end up paying more for the extra work technicians will be doing to locate the systems. 

It is best to negotiate and bargain to get the best deal on the final price.

5- Mould growth

Mould growth in the ductwork means cleaning the ducts and vents even before the expected cleaning date. 

And since moulds are harmful, obtaining services to remove them can prove costly, too. You can expect to pay anywhere between $600 to a couple of thousand dollars to get it cleaned. 

Over to you

Apart from the factors mentioned above, even the technician you choose for cleaning the ductwork of your HVAC in Kamloops will have an impact on the final cost. After all, the cost of services varies from service provider to service provider.
