Cost to clean air ducts

As part of our “How much does it cost?” series, we recently had our air ducts cleaned. The whole project ended up costing $500 with a NADCA (National Air Duct Cleaners Association) certified HVAC company in Delaware county, Pennsylvania.

As always, standard disclaimer applies as costs vary based on your location, project requirements,  permits and other fees.

The company we ended up using is called Interior Maintenance Company (IMC) in Lansdowne PA. We selected the company because it was based in Lansdowne and we wanted to support our local town in some way. The company provided an estimate based on the number of registers we had in our home. Their current breakdown of costs based on registers:

  • 1 – 6 registers – $295
  • 7 – 9 registers – $385
  • 10 – 12 registers – $440
  • 13 – 15 registers – $490
  • 16 – 18 registers – $540
  • 19 – 21 registers – $590
  • 22 – 24 registers – $650
  • 25 – 27 registers – $710
What was odd with IMC is that they charged a different amount for sanitizing the registers (i.e. $65) and also for dryer exhausts (i.e. $165.00) , rest room exhausts ($15.00) etc. They did take pictures of how the air ducts looked before and after the cleaning was done. Honestly, the ‘before’ pictures of our air ducts looked pretty good and so I found ample reasons to wonder if it truly was worth paying for having the air ducts cleaned.

 

Cost to replace or upgrade electric panel

As part of our “How much does it cost?” series, we recently upgraded our electric panel to a 200 Amp panel. The whole project ended up costing $1500 with a licensed, insured electrician in Delaware county, Pennsylvania.
