Air Duct Cleaning in Mpumalanga

There's no fixed schedule — clean when there's visible mould, vermin, renovation dust, or significant debris buildup. In practice every 3-5 years is typical for forced-air homes, sooner after building work or if filters blacken quickly.

A typical single-system home takes 2-4 hours with a two-person crew. Larger homes, multiple air handlers, or heavy contamination stretch to a full day. Be suspicious of anyone promising a whole house in under an hour.

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.

Evidence is mixed for routine cleaning of already-clean ducts. It clearly helps when ducts contain mould, construction dust, pest debris, or blockages. Pairing cleaning with better filtration and sealing duct leaks delivers more measurable benefit than cleaning alone.

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.

Rare — most homes have no central ducts. It matters for upscale homes with ducted inverter aircon and for dryer or extractor runs. If you only have wall-split units, coil and filter servicing is the right spend instead.
