Newcastle, King County
Air duct cleaning in Newcastle starts at $535. System size sets the figure: the tally of supply registers and return grilles, one furnace or a pair, and whether the trunk lines run through an open basement or a tight crawlspace. We count the openings and look at the equipment before quoting, and the written figure covers the whole system, not a per-vent teaser.

Whether a Newcastle home has ducts at all depends on how it is heated. Census estimates split the city almost evenly: about 49 percent of occupied homes heat mainly with electricity and 45.7 percent with utility gas. A gas furnace nearly always means a duct system; electric heat may mean a ducted heat pump, or baseboards and no ducts whatsoever. The first question we ask on the phone is therefore what warms the house.
Every air duct cleaning we do in Newcastle includes:
Smoke coming back into the room, or a smell that won't go? Book the inspection first.
Book nowTwo local facts shape what ends up inside the ducts. One is construction: roughly 30 percent of Newcastle's housing units date from the 2010s, per the Census, and a system that ran during drywall sanding and floor finishing can still hold that dust years later. The other is smoke. The county's public health department warns that a wildfire smoke episode may hang on anywhere from a few days to several weeks, and Newcastle's own hazard annex treats the entire city as exposed to wildfire because housing sits within and beside wooded land. Fine ash drawn in through a return ends up on the filter first and in the ductwork after that.
We tally the openings, take the panel off the furnace or air handler and send a camera along the trunk.
A collection unit is attached so that everything loosened travels toward the vacuum, away from the rooms.
One register at a time, debris is driven down the branch to the trunk while the other openings stay covered.
Service holes get patched and taped, grilles are screwed back, and the two sets of photos are shown to you on the spot.

Four steps, each one on paper — so you always know what happens next.
Choose a genuine opening on the crew's calendar. Confirmation is immediate.
Liner, crown, cap, flashing and masonry examined in order — each finding photographed.
One document, plain numbers, covering only the work your chimney genuinely needs.
The repair is completed, then handed over with before-and-after photos of every item.
There is no fixed interval. Clean them after construction or remodeling, after a smoke season that loaded the filters, or when a look inside the trunk shows a visible layer of dust. Otherwise, changing the filter on schedule does most of the work.
We do not promise that. A clean blower and return path let the system move air as designed; the savings, if any, depend on how restricted it was before.
Yes, provided the unit runs on a furnace or air handler of its own, feeding ducts nobody else shares. Central building systems are handled with the building's management.
Yes. The dryer exhaust is quoted on its own line, and booking both for one morning spares you another day at home.
