The guy who did our ducts in Arizona felt so bad about the sick kids that he only charged us $300. The team that did our house here in Texas charged us about $800, but that included a complete tear-down and maintenance of our heating/AC unit along with the duct cleaning. I'm sure you could find a deal somewhere in the middle if all you want done is to have the ducts scrubbed. The second crew also ran little robot cameras through the ducts looking for problems up close.

Both jobs took an afternoon. Both involved sucking everything through the ducts, then inspecting every vent, then spraying an enzyme (cherry scented!) that would eat all the organic material that the vacuum couldn't suck. I went ahead and paid for the heat/AC maintenance as we were just moving in and I wanted to be sure everything was working well from day one.

The Pepsi can and the coffee can lid in one of our floor heat duct explained why my son's room never warmed up in the winter! Lots of pet hair had formed with those two items to make a nearly perfect clog. (I'll go on and on if I don't stop myself now! *Bad* memories!!)
