Repair usually matters more than cleaning
In most Mesa houses the ducts run through the attic, which can be far hotter than the outside air on a summer afternoon. A duct that leaks or comes loose up there pulls in hot attic air and dumps cooled air where nobody lives. The signs are rooms that never cool, a system that runs all day, and dust that comes back right after you clean.
About 31% of homes in Mesa's ZIP codes were built before 1980 (Census ACS). In a house that age the ducts may be original, laid out for an earlier and smaller system. In a manufactured home the ducts run under the floor and get crushed or torn. Manufactured homes.
When cleaning is worth it
- Visible mold growth inside the ducts or on the coil.
- Insects or rodents in the ductwork.
- Heavy dust or debris after a remodel.
- Debris blowing out of the registers.
Without one of those, I'd change the filter more often before paying for a cleaning. Monsoon dust is a filter problem first.
What it costs
Fixr lists duct cleaning at $300 to $700, with a $500 average. Duct sealing and repair are priced by the job. If a company quotes a cleaning far below that range, ask what the visit includes; low-price cleaning offers are a common way to get in the door for an upsell.
What to ask
- Will you show me photos or video of the inside of the ducts, before and after?
- Are there leaks or disconnected runs? Where?
- What would sealing or replacing the worst runs cost?
