Curious if the benefits of air duct cleaning are worth the price?
It is understood that air duct cleaning isn’t a cheap procedure, but is it worth the price? The prevailing benefits of air duct cleaning include an increase in air-flow efficiency and improved life-time of HVAC equipment. This means you will spend less in the long-term on energy bills and HVAC system repair. A thorough air duct cleaning will pay for itself while also improving the airflow balance of your home and decreasing the amount of dust that comes from the ducts and settles on furniture. So air duct cleaning is worth it – if you hire the right company.
How does one identify the “right company” for air duct cleaning? Due to the nature of air duct cleaning as a service, it can be difficult for the average homeowner to directly see the improvements, so there is a justified skepticism when homeowners are told that an area of their home that they have never seen was dirty before the service and is now clean.
If you think you’ve found a cheap air duct cleaning, do your research into the business. If a business quotes an air duct cleaning to be less than $300, there will usually be one of two catches: either the price will increase after the service begins or the service isn’t a complete air duct cleaning.
A reputable air duct cleaning company will send a National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA) Certified technician who can give you a firm price before they begin working and will spend 2-4 hours in multiple areas of your home. A less competent air duct cleaner will not be NADCA certified, will only spend around an hour, charge more than what you were initially quoted, or will just be a person with a portable shop-vac. Like most products and services, you get what you pay for.
If you are having a lot of home maintenance done, particles like carpet fibers, drywall, saw dust, etc. will end up in your home’s air and air ducts. Because air ducts are out of sight and difficult to access, they should be the last step of your home maintenance projects.
To maintain the benefits of air duct cleaning, it is recommended you have them cleaned every 3-5 years. This will depend on how many people live in the home, if any residents have asthma, the number of pets in the home, recent construction projects, and other factors like fire or water damage.
When gathering information to set up an air duct cleaning, be sure to ask about the technician’s certifications. Make sure the business is registered, insured and see if it has a good or bad reputation online. A little extra research on your part could save you from wasting money on an inadequate service.

Lasting improvements in air quality for 10 years guaranteed
A home’s air duct system is a lot like its plumbing system. They both run throughout the house and both can have a expensive leaks. The difference is that a leaking water pipe will let you know its leaking but a leaking air duct system will continue to cost you money for years without apparent evidence. While it’s not apparent, the evidence can exist in the form uneven room temperatures, allergies, and increased energy expenses.
According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, nearly 50% of the average home’s utility bill is spent on heating and air conditioning. If you have any leaks, you could be significantly overpaying.
HVAC Professionals can spot and manually seal air duct leaks where ductwork is visible but a lot of ductwork is concealed in walls, floors, and ceilings. Aeroseal is a method of diagnosing a home’s air duct leakage throughout the duct system and then sealing the leaks from the inside. Sealing air ducts from the inside removes the need for an HVAC professional to make expensive cuts into your walls to seal those concealed ducts.
The technology for sealing air ducts from the inside was invented in 1994 and has steadily developed into the best duct sealing solution available. The technology was patented in 1996 and 1999 and has continued to be upgraded since.
In 2000, The Department of Energy (DOE) and its Citizen Judges selected Aeroseal in the 100 best scientific and technological accomplishments to come out of the 23 years of the DOE’s existence. The same judges put Aeroseal in the top 23 technologies that have the largest potential to save consumers money and improve their quality of life. In 2017, Aeroseal is on its way to becoming an industry standard for optimizing air duct systems.
Aeroseal was featured on PBS’s professional home improvement show, “This Old House” where they detail how the process works and the benefits of sealing air ducts from the inside. Click the video to the right for a brief introduction to Aeroseal.
There are a few ways to tell if your ducts might be leaking. The most common reason people request Aeroseal is because they are experiencing uneven temperature distribution in their homes; rooms on one side of the house are much colder or warmer than the rest of the house. This happens because the heated or cooled air is leaking throughout the ductwork instead of being delivered to those rooms. Sealing leaks will improve system pressure so the conditioned air is distributed more evenly throughout the house.
Another reason Aeroseal is often requested is to solve allergies. Leaks in air ducts can result in air leaving ducts where it shouldn’t, but they can also result in air entering where it shouldn’t. Air duct systems usually run through a home’s attic, basement, or crawlspace and throughout its walls. If air is entering the duct system from these places, then dust and allergens are pulled in with it and distributed throughout your home. Aeroseal will prevent any air from entering or exiting the duct system where it shouldn’t.
The benefit of Aeroseal will become the most evident when energy costs decrease. If the air temperature is inconsistent throughout your house, the HVAC system will activate more often to compensate for the misplaced air. HVAC systems running longer and more often can waste a significant amount of energy each year. After leaks are sealed, HVAC systems will run less to move the same amount of air, saving homeowners up to 40% on energy. With these savings, Aeroseal can quickly pay for itself and is guaranteed to keep your ducts sealed for 10 years.
The Aeroseal process is simple. Air vents and registers are blocked with a specialized masking tape to prevent airflow. With all registers blocked, the system’s air is forced to exit through leaks. The Aeroseal tool detects how much air is being lost through leaks to determine the rate of leakage in the duct system.
Once leakage is tested, aerosol sealant is injected into the duct system. This sealant is designed to remain a vapor until enough particles are forced toward small gaps to begin accumulating. The particles adhere and gather until air can no longer get through and the gap is sealed.
The whole process is computer monitored and afterwards, a computer generated analysis is printed for the customer. This analysis will clearly illustrate the reduction in leakage throughout the process. See examples of this from recent Aeroseal sealings below.

What you can do to save money on energy this season
If you haven’t taken the time yet, consider having your home’s performance measured with an Energy Audit. With this information, you can track down exactly where you’re wasting energy. A lot of wasted energy can be traced back to your heating and cooling system, and more specifically, leaks in your air ducts.
There are many ways to seal air ducts but Aeroseal is the only way to get to the leaks that are can’t be found or easily accessed. Aeroseal duct sealing is less intrusive and less costly than other methods that may require cutting multiple holes in your walls and ceilings for inspection. You can seal your entire duct system saving up to 30% on heating and cooling costs, but without any of the cosmetic damage to existing walls and ceilings that often comes with manual duct sealing.
