Quick answer

Is cleaning air vents the same as cleaning air ducts?

No. Vent cleaning covers the visible registers, grilles and the boot directly behind them. It removes the dust and staining you see, but not the buildup further inside the duct runs and air handler. If the camera shows dirt deeper in the system, a full duct cleaning ($199–$399 for most homes) is the better value.

Overview

What is air vent cleaning?

Supply registers collect dust because air slows down as it leaves the duct. In humid homes, cold air hitting a warm ceiling can also cause condensation and dark spotting around diffusers. Cleaning those components improves appearance and reduces dust blown into the room.

We remove and wash register covers, vacuum and wipe the boots, and run a camera a few feet into each run to show you whether the ducts themselves need attention.

Air Vent Cleaning is part of our air duct cleaning services. Many customers book it together with air duct cleaning.
