What an actual NADCA-standard cleaning looks like.
Most "duct cleaning" sold in Houston is a vacuum-and-spray that takes 45 minutes and leaves the trunk lines untouched. Here is what a complete job involves.
Source removal (the actual NADCA standard)
We seal each register, isolate the system, and pull contaminants toward a HEPA-filtered negative-air machine. Brushes and compressed-air whips agitate the lining so dust, dander, and debris release into the airstream — not into your home. This is what NADCA ACR 2021 actually requires.
Trunk lines, supply, and return — all of it
Most jobs only touch the registers visible from each room. Trunk lines (the main horizontal runs) carry the most accumulated debris and are the part that matters most. We open access points and clean every duct in the system, not just what shows.
Coil and blower inspection
A clean duct system feeds dust right back into a dirty coil or blower. We inspect both and clean what is accessible without HVAC certification, and flag what needs an HVAC tech if we find it.
Antimicrobial treatment (when warranted)
EPA-registered antimicrobial fog applied only when visible mold or microbial growth is documented. We do not upsell antimicrobial as a default — it should only follow remediation, not replace it.
Dryer vent cleaning add-on
The leading cause of dryer fires is lint buildup in the vent line, not the lint trap. We add this on for a discount when you are already booked for ducts. National Fire Protection Association recommends annually for households of three or more.
Documented before-and-after
Every job comes with photos of the trunk lines and registers before and after. You see the actual condition of your system, the work performed, and the result. This is not a marketing photo — it is your house.
Indoor air is 2 to 5 times more polluted than outdoor air.
That figure is from the EPA. The accumulation in residential ductwork — dust, pet dander, pollen, mold spores, construction dust, rodent residue — is recirculated through the system every time the HVAC runs. NADCA recommends inspection every two years and cleaning when contamination is documented. The cost-of-not-cleaning shows up as allergy symptoms, dust on every surface within a day of cleaning, and an HVAC system that runs longer to move the same air.
What changes after a NADCA-standard cleaning.
- Allergens and irritants removed from the airstream — measurable reduction in dust on furniture
- HVAC efficiency restored — clean coils and unobstructed ducts move air with less work
- Dryer fire risk eliminated when paired with vent cleaning
- Documented compliance for property managers and commercial buildings
- No "fog and pray" — antimicrobial only when warranted, never as default upsell
- Same-day or next-day scheduling on most residential jobs
Commercial buildings, medical, and property management.
Office buildings, medical and dental practices, retail, and property managers across Harris, Fort Bend, Brazoria, Galveston, and Montgomery counties. Documented scope of work, after-hours scheduling, and the photo and report package property managers need for vendor compliance.
Honest answers to common air duct cleaning questions.
How much does air duct cleaning cost in Houston?
A complete NADCA-standard cleaning of a typical Houston home (one HVAC system, up to 10 vents) runs $400 to $700 depending on system size and accessibility. We quote in writing before we start, never after. Beware of $99 specials — that is the bait, not the job.
How often should I have my air ducts cleaned?
NADCA recommends inspection every two years and cleaning when contamination is documented. In Houston, the practical interval for most homes is every 3 to 5 years. Households with pets, allergies, or recent construction should be on the shorter end.
Do you clean the trunk lines, or just the registers?
We clean every duct in the system — supply trunk, return trunk, and every register. Most $99 jobs only touch the registers visible from each room. The trunk lines are where most of the accumulation actually lives.
Are you NADCA certified?
Yes. Our technicians are NADCA-trained and we follow the NADCA ACR 2021 source-removal standard on every job. We are also IICRC certified for related water and surface restoration work.
What is "source removal" and why does it matter?
Source removal means contaminants are physically extracted from the duct system using brushes, compressed air, and a HEPA-filtered negative-air machine — not just blown around with a vacuum hose. It is the only method NADCA recognizes as actual cleaning.
