Cleaner Ductwork Starts With a Defined Scope
Dust, construction debris, pet hair, and other settled material can accumulate inside an air-distribution system. Vanguard evaluates the system configuration, duct materials, access, number of supply and return openings, and visible conditions before work begins. Our standard residential service is designed for routine duct cleaning—not mold remediation or internal HVAC mechanical repair.
Inspect & Count
We document system count, supply and return openings, duct materials, access limitations, and conditions that may affect service.
Protect & Prepare
Registers, work areas, and eligible system components are prepared to reduce the risk of damage or unintended debris release.
Clean Toward Collection
RamAir tools and material-appropriate agitation move loosened debris toward the collection point.
Document Completion
Accessible registers and grilles are addressed, treatment eligibility is confirmed, and service findings are documented.
What Standard Air Duct Cleaning Includes
- Eligible supply and return ductwork served by the quoted HVAC system
- Accessible supply registers and return grilles

- Eligible SaniJet treatment when product labeling, material compatibility, and system condition allow

Straightforward Residential Pricing
Packages begin at $599 for one HVAC system with up to 10 total supply and return openings. Final pricing is based on the verified opening count, number of HVAC systems, access, and system condition.
| System Size | Price |
|---|---|
| Up to 10 openings | $599 |
| 11–15 openings | $699 |
| 16–20 openings | $799 |
| 21–25 openings | $899 |
| 26–30 openings | $999 |
Openings above 30 are $35 each. A second HVAC system is $250; each third or additional system is $225. Detailed metal return-frame cleaning and dryer vent cleaning are available as add-ons.
Flex Duct, Air Handlers & Duct Leakage
Flex duct requires condition-specific judgment. It can be damaged by aggressive agitation or improper access. We inspect its condition and use suitable methods; we do not cut prohibited service openings or proceed where cleaning could cause damage.
Internal air-handler, blower, and coil cleaning is coordinated through an approved HVAC subcontractor when needed. Duct-leakage concerns may qualify for separately quoted AeroSeal service.
Pair Duct Cleaning With Dryer Vent Service
Add standard dryer vent cleaning for $129 when completed during the same appointment, or schedule standalone dryer vent cleaning for $179. Long, complex, and roof-termination runs start at $225.

Request an EstimateAir Duct Cleaning FAQs
Does duct cleaning include the air handler?
No. Internal air-handler, blower, and coil cleaning requires separate HVAC qualification and pricing.
Is SaniJet treatment included?
Eligible treatment is included when product labeling, duct material, system condition, and the approved service procedure allow its use. It is not represented as mold remediation.
How is the opening count determined?
Each supply and return opening served by the system is counted. The final count is confirmed before work begins.
Do you clean flex duct?
We inspect flex duct first. Service depends on its condition, accessibility, and whether it can be cleaned without unacceptable risk of damage.
