Residential air duct cleaning
Why should you get residential ducts cleaned?
The main reason why residential homes should have their ducts cleaned is because they accumulate dust! This accumulation can be the cause of a multitude of problems, including an increased need for dusting, poor heating and cooling performance, and musty odors through your home. While normal, repeated cycling of dust in a home can increase the need for air duct cleaning, other factors may push the air duct cleaning timetable forward even more, including:
- Pets
- Occupants with allergies or asthma Cigarette or cigar smoke
- Water contamination/damage to home or HVAC system
- Home renovation or remodeling projects

Why air duct cleaning cannot realistically cost $299
High-Quality Service Requires Investment
- Equipment Costs: Professional-grade equipment, such as HEPA vacuums and powerful air compressors, is expensive to purchase and maintain.
- Skilled Labor: Experienced technicians require fair compensation for their expertise and time, which cannot be covered by such a low price.
- Comprehensive Cleaning: Proper duct cleaning involves cleaning the entire system, including supply and return ducts, vents, and sometimes coils or fans. This process is time-consuming and labor-intensive.
Beware of "Bait and Switch" Scams
- Unrealistic Pricing: Extremely low prices often serve as bait to upsell unnecessary services or claim additional "hidden" charges once the job starts.
- Incomplete Work: Companies offering such low rates may rush through the job or clean only accessible areas, leaving dirt and contaminants deeper in the system.
Health and Safety Standards
- Quality Assurance: Proper cleaning ensures the removal of dust, mold, and allergens, requiring thorough processes that cannot be achieved at bargain prices.
- Certifications and Training: Reputable companies invest in certifications (e.g., NADCA standards) and ongoing training, which contribute to higher operating costs.
Long-Term Value
- Durability: Proper cleaning helps prolong the life of HVAC systems, saving the customer money in the long run.
- Peace of Mind: Customers get a thorough, professional job without hidden fees or poor-quality work.Travel and Setup: Travel time, fuel costs, and setup are included in the price, which ensures no shortcuts are taken.
Operational Costs
- Insurance and Licensing: Legitimate businesses carry liability insurance and proper licensing, which add to their expenses.
- Travel and Setup: Travel time, fuel costs, and setup are included in the price, which ensures no shortcuts are taken.
Negative Air System
Morris Air Duct Pros follows the cleaning guidelines and professional conduct established by the National Association of Air Duct Cleaners (NADCA).
Our cleaning process applies negative air pressure source removal when cleaning the HVAC conveyance unit and air duct systems.
Using a method called push/pull, this approach uses a powerful vacuum and compressed air physical agitation tools to break up any debris and propel it through the ductwork while a very powerful vacuum removes loose material out of the HVAC system.
The Air Duct Cleaning process
Visual inspection of the ducts leading to the return and supply registers to assess the level of buildup in the ducts beforehand and confirm the difference after the cleaning. Check the ductwork for visible leaks or, in the case of flexible ducts, kinks.
We use the most powerful portable vacuum collection devices to remove dust and debris out of your ductwork. Continuous negative pressure allows debris and very fine particles to be removed from the duct system as they become air borne, ensuring that these are not released into the living space when the system is turned back on after the cleaning.
- The Technician will Hook the vacuum collection device with a large hose to the Trunk Lines close to the air handler—the lungs of your HVAC system. The technician will simply cut an 8” access point in the duct, insert the vacuum hose.
- The technician then will seal each vent/register with an adhesive or plastic cover.
- Once the technician finished these preparatory steps, he or she will turn on the vacuum unit. This step creates negative pressure, the debris and particles inside the ductwork will be sucked into the collection device as they’re broken down or blown loose.
Properly cleaning air ducts requires removing the sources of contamination. This begins with the use of one or more compressed air agitating tools designed to break contaminants and debris from the duct work.
The technician will uncover each supply and return registers and proceed with the cleaning One by One. Once all of the Supply and Return registers are cleaned, the Technician will repeat this process on the Main (trunk) Supply and Return lines.
The Technician will use the same air compressed tools and vacuum to dislodge all contaminants and debris from the air handler, filter box and plenum.
At this point, your HVAC Duct System has been thoroughly cleaned. The technician will seal up both access points with 10” x 10” patch with zip screws and aluminum foil. Remove all covers from all registers and turn your system back on.
