Renton, King County
Whole-house air duct cleaning in Renton is priced from $535. That floor applies to a compact single-story home with a single furnace and not many registers. Square footage, a second system, and ducts routed through a tight crawl space are what add to it. The method is the same at every size: the duct system is put under suction by a large vacuum while each run is agitated toward it.

Forced air is common in Renton without being universal. Census survey data has utility gas as the main heat in roughly four of every ten occupied homes and electricity in more than half; electric heat includes ductless and baseboard systems that have no ducts to clean. So the first thing we establish on the phone is whether your house has a furnace or heat pump with ductwork at all. If it does not, this is not a service you need.
Year-built estimates from the American Community Survey show 24.6 percent of Renton's housing units dating from 1960 through 1979, and another 30.1 percent from the two decades after that. The survey's heating table adds that about 40.5 percent of occupied homes heat mainly with utility gas.
Neither table says which houses have ducts or how old those ducts are, and we do not pretend to know by neighborhood. What age does mean, where a furnace has been replaced once or twice on the original sheet metal, is decades of dust in runs nobody has opened. In those houses we look for joints sealed with cloth tape that has let go, and for old floor registers that were boarded over during a remodel with the branch still connected.
Every air duct cleaning we do in Renton includes:
Smoke coming back into the room, or a smell that won't go? Book the inspection first.
Book nowIn houses that do have ducts, the material inside is predictable. Construction dust from a remodel settles in the returns. Pet hair mats on the first elbow past each floor register. In a crawl space, a duct joint that has slipped apart pulls in damp, earthy air every time the blower starts, and Renton's long wet season keeps that crawl space humid for half the year. We photograph inside the trunk lines so you can see what was there.
We count registers, find the trunks and check the crawl space or attic for disconnected runs.
The vacuum is attached at the trunk and other openings are sealed, so loosened dust can only travel one way.
Starting from the farthest register, every branch is agitated toward the vacuum, then the returns.
Access openings are sealed with proper panels, registers go back, and you get the inside photos.

Our price starts at $535 and depends on house size and the number of systems. Homeyou's modeled estimate for the Renton-area market is $388 to $450; that figure is theirs, published as a typical range, and not our quote.
We reconnect a joint that has slipped and tell you about anything larger. Replacing duct runs is a separate job for a heating contractor.
Look for metal grilles in the floors or ceilings and a furnace or air handler in a closet, garage or crawl space. Baseboard heaters and wall-mounted ductless units mean there is no duct system, and nothing for us to clean.
