Air Duct Cleaning in Le Sud-Ouest

In Le Sud-Ouest, whole-system pricing depends on vent count and system count. Beware coupon offers far below market — the classic scam is a cheap teaser price followed by aggressive on-site upselling for 'mould remediation'. Get vent count and total price agreed in writing.

The pattern: a $50-100 'whole house special', then on-site claims of hidden mould with photos that may not be from your ducts, pressure-selling sanitizer fogging at hundreds extra. Legitimate firms quote by vent/system count, show you findings in your own ducts, and never pressure same-day decisions.

Usually no — blanket chemical fogging is discouraged unless there's confirmed microbial growth and the product is approved for HVAC use. Mechanical cleaning plus fixing the moisture source addresses the cause; fogging is the most-upsold, least-needed add-on.

Usually per system or per vent: a flat whole-house price for an average system, with surcharges for extra vents, multiple air handlers, or heavy contamination. Dryer vent cleaning is typically a smaller separate line item.

Proper source-removal cleaning puts the system under negative pressure with a high-power vacuum, then agitates each duct run with rotating brushes or compressed-air whips so debris is pulled to the collector — not blown into the house. Register covers, the air handler, and coils should be included.

After renovations, before first winter in a resale home, or when filters blacken fast — typically every 3-5 years. Book before heating season; crews are cheapest in late spring and summer when furnaces are idle.
