Air duct cleaning
A flat $329. Not a starting point.
One price for a normal single furnace home with up to 25 vents and returns, and you have the number before we start. The supply vents, the cold air returns, the trunk lines, and the access points we cut to reach them.
Why ours is not ninety nine dollars.
You will see duct cleaning advertised around a hundred dollars all over this market. Read those ads to the bottom and the cheap number is usually an air sweep, which blows air through the line and pulls out what is loose. The job most people picture when they say duct cleaning, the one with a rotary brush that scrubs the inside of the line, is a separate and much higher price on a different page.
- 01Powerful vacuum. Pulls everything the brush and the air loosen straight out of the system.
- 02Compressed air. Gets into the branch lines the brush cannot reach on its own.
- 03Rotary brush. This is the one that gets left out of the cheap ads, and it is the one that actually takes the build up off the inside of your HVAC system.
- 04We sometimes cut more than two access points in the trunk lines. We never charge for more than two.
We do not run a cheap version and a real version. There is one way we clean ducts, and $329 is what it costs in a normal home.
Our own photo, taken up inside a customer’s ductwork after the brush and the vacuum had been down it.
A different duct, not the same line as the photo above. Look at the far end of each frame and you can see it: two separate ducts, two separate photos, neither one the other one’s before or after. This is the build up an air sweep leaves on the metal and the rotary brush takes off.
What is actually up there.
Every room has a run, they all meet at the furnace, and none of it is anywhere you can see. We bring a portable HEPA vacuum down to the furnace with us, so everything we pull out of the system is caught in the filter rather than put back into the room you are standing in.
Answer the three questions above and your price appears here.
Why we ask about the basement.
Because your county record almost certainly does not count it. A Champlin walkout can read fourteen hundred square feet on the tax card and still have twenty four hundred feet of heated, ducted space once the lower level is finished. That gap is the single most common reason a duct quote given over the phone turns out wrong, so we would rather ask you about it now.
Then the flat price is not your price and we will not pretend it is. Two minutes on the phone and you will have a real number instead of a hopeful one.
“They texted to let me know they were on their way, cleaned the ducts from top to bottom, and were respectful, professional and thorough.”
Linda Schwartz, Google reviewThe questions we get.
What does the flat price actually cover?
The whole system in a normal single furnace home up to 2,500 square feet including a finished basement, with up to 25 vents and returns. The supply vents, the cold air returns, the main trunk lines, and the access points cut to reach them. You do not count anything and there is no per vent charge inside that number.
What if my house has more vents than you expected?
The flat price covers up to 25 vents and returns, which is almost every home we price online. If yours turns out to have more, the extra ones are $15 each. We count them, not you, and you see the number before anything comes off the van, so it is still a price you agree to rather than one you find out about afterwards.
How often should ducts be done?
Far less often than the industry likes to suggest. For most homes it is a job you do after a remodel, after moving in, or when there is a real reason such as allergies, pets or visible build up. If we look at your system and it does not need doing, we will tell you and you can call us in a few years.
Do you cut holes in my ducts?
We cut access points into the main trunk lines so the brush and vacuum can reach the whole run, and we seal them properly afterwards. Sometimes a system needs more than two. We cut what it needs and we never charge for more than two.
Will the price change once you are here?
Not because of anything we find inside your ducts, however bad it is in there. Two things can move it and you hear about both of them on the doorstep rather than on the invoice: a house past 25 vents and returns, which is $15 for each one over, and the three answers themselves being off, a second furnace nobody mentioned or a lot more finished space than you thought. Once we start working, nothing changes.
What the neighbors say.
Real reviews from Green Team customers around the Twin Cities metro.
“Their prices were so reasonable that I had to keep asking if they were sure it was the right amount. Friendly, knowledgeable, and thorough.”
Hollee Saville“They texted to let me know they were on their way, cleaned the ducts from top to bottom, and were respectful, professional and thorough. My cost was lower than the other companies I called.”
Linda Schwartz“I had expected an upsell or an add-on in the pricing, but it was exactly as quoted. Extremely informative and courteous on arrival.”
Kim Nguyen SeufertOne price. One method. No tiers.
Answer three questions and you have your number. If your home is outside the flat price we will say so rather than quote you something that changes in the driveway.
