How Long Does Duct Cleaning Take?
Understandably, many people ask us how long the entire duct cleaning process takes. Knowing this information will help them plan their days and make sure they are home whilst we are cleaning their ducts.
While cleaning times may vary depending on the business you choose to engage, the following time breakdowns are the averages based on our extensive experience in the duct cleaning industry.
Variables That Can Affect Time Spent Cleaning Ducts
Obviously, cleaning times differ for different jobs. For example, an entire office building will typically take a lot longer to clean than a single-family home.
The following variables will influence the amount of time it will take to clean your ducts:
How many vents your home has.
Are your vents in the ceiling or in the floor?
Are these vents: heating vents, cooling vents, or both?
Is your home a single or multilevel home?
I think it’s easy to understand that without knowing more about your unique home or office building, it’s difficult to give an exact figure as to how long it will take.
However, obviously, you came here to get a rough idea, so that is what we’ll give you.
Average Time To Clean Ducts
On average, it takes between 12-18 minutes to clean (and sanitise) each vent.
So, if you have 10 vents in your home, expect the entire duct cleaning process to take approximately 2.5 hours.
Now, obviously, the exact time may vary based on some of the variables listed earlier. However, you can use this timing as a general rule of thumb.
