UV Air-Purification Light Installation

Maybe not — and we'll be the ones to tell you. EPA guidance says duct cleaning is warranted in three situations: visible mold, vermin in the ducts, or significant dust and debris buildup. Not on a calendar, not automatically every few years. Our $99 camera inspection checks your system against those conditions and gives you a straight verdict with photos. A meaningful share of inspections end with 'not yet, re-check in a couple of years' — and that answer costs you $99, not $600.

Honestly: there is no good evidence that it does, and the EPA states plainly that duct cleaning has never been shown to prevent health problems. It genuinely helps when your system meets one of the EPA's three conditions — visible mold growth, vermin, or debris actually being released into your rooms — and a camera inspection tells you which. For a household with asthma or heavy seasonal allergies, the changes that reliably move indoor air are a filter matched to what your blower can pull, a return path that isn't starved, and sealing ducts that are pulling attic air into the house. We would rather point you at those than sell you a cleaning you don't need.

Only if something has actually loaded them, and the usual culprit is renovation. Drywall dust and jobsite debris land on the return side where a filter never reaches them, so a nursery remodel with the system running is a real case and the before-and-after footage shows it. If nothing has changed about the house, start with the $99 camera inspection — it often ends the conversation. And one hard rule regardless: no ozone-generating air cleaner near an infant. The EPA is clear those aren't effective at concentrations that are safe to breathe.

A full-system source-removal cleaning starts at $349, targeted supply-and-return work at $199, and a camera inspection at $99. Those are honest starting points, not bait: your exact quote is confirmed after we look at the system on camera and before any work begins, and it doesn't change mid-job. Add-ons like sanitizing ($149) or a UV light ($399) are offered only when the footage shows a real indication — our technicians don't earn commissions.

Three to five hours for a typical single-system home. The honest variables are the number of runs, attic access, duct type, and how much debris the system is carrying — a two-system two-story takes longer than a compact ranch. We'd rather quote you a real window than promise a ninety-minute miracle, because whole-home source removal physically cannot be done in ninety minutes. You'll get a specific time estimate with your quote, and the system is back on the moment we finish.
