What Affects the Price?
- Home size and number of vents: More rooms and registers mean more ductwork to clean.
- Type of system: A single wall-mounted heat pump is quicker than a whole-home duct system.
- Number of units: Homes with two or three mini-splits pay per unit.
- Condition: Heavy buildup from pets, renovations, or years without cleaning takes more time.
- Access: Hard-to-reach units, crawl spaces, or high dryer vent exits can add time.
- Location: We serve all of HRM. Service outside the core area (Truro, the Annapolis Valley, and beyond) may be priced differently.
Red Flags: Watch Out for "$99 Whole-House" Specials
A very low price for an entire home's duct system is a common bait-and-switch tactic. The technician arrives, does a quick surface vacuum, then pressures you into expensive add-ons. A proper duct cleaning takes real time and equipment.
Before you book any company, ask:
- Is the price a firm quote, or a starting point with add-ons?
- Do you inspect with cameras and show before and after results?
- Are you licensed and insured?
- What exactly is included?

Frequently Asked Questions
Is duct cleaning worth the cost?
It's worth it when your ducts actually need it: after renovations, when moving into a new home, with pets, or if you see dust blowing from vents. Our air duct cleaning guide explains how to tell.
Will cleaning lower my energy bills?
A clean heat pump or HRV runs more efficiently than a clogged one. If your ducts leak, sealing them can make a bigger difference. Learn more in our Aeroseal guide.
How long does a cleaning take?
It depends on the service and your home. Single-unit services are usually quick, while whole-home duct cleaning takes longer. We'll give you a time estimate with your quote.
