What it costs
The same price book as our air duct cleaning page, for a home up to 2,000 square feet on one system. We look first: the tech takes a cover off, puts a camera in and photographs what’s in your ducts, then shows you, so you see their current condition before you decide. No charge, including when yours are fine. Then you get the price in writing, then we clean.

A second system bills at 90 percent of the tier, because it’s isolated and cleaned on its own. The calculator on our air duct cleaning page does the arithmetic for a bigger house.
The dryer vent cleaning is the yearly one, and it’s in Comfort+ membership at $199 a year along with a water heater flush with a sewer camera inspection, a heating maintenance visit and a cooling maintenance visit.
What’s different in Burke
Burke’s ductwork comes in two kinds, and which one you have mostly depends on whether you’re inside Burke Centre. In the older part of Burke that takes in Lake Braddock, about 6 in 10 homes went up before 1980 and most are single-family. Picture a gas furnace in the basement, a sheet-metal trunk running along the basement ceiling, and returns that use the space between the floor joists as the duct.
Burke Centre is younger and more compact. About 6 in 10 of its homes went up between 1980 and 1999, about half are townhouses, and about 7 in 10 heat with electricity. That usually means a heat pump’s air handler in a closet or utility room, short supply runs off a central trunk, and a large return grille in a hallway, often with the filter right behind it. All the air in the house comes back through that grille, so the return box behind it is where the heaviest dust collects.
Nothing about duct cleaning involves the Burke Centre Conservancy, since it all happens indoors. Its standards come into it only at the outside wall: a crushed dryer vent hood swapped for one of the same size, color and design in the same spot needs no application, and a dryer vent moved to a new spot does.
Neighborhood by neighborhood
Census figures for each place, and what that usually means when we open the system. Median year built and heat count owner-occupied homes only.
| Place | Median home built | Most homes are | Heated with | What we usually find |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Burke | 1979 | single-family houses, about 6 in 10 | gas, about 6 in 10 | Houses from before 1980: original sheet metal, and returns built into the floor framing. |
| Burke Centre | 1982 | townhouses, about 5 in 10 | electricity, about 7 in 10 | Townhouse streets: an air handler in a closet or attic, and a long dryer vent run. |
By the numbers

When it’s worth doing
In a Burke Centre townhouse one big grille in the hall pulls air back for the whole floor. When its slats are fuzzy again a week after you vacuumed them, and the filter behind it is grey long before its date, the return box behind it is the first place for a camera.
Which is most houses. Nobody opens a duct, so it never comes up until somebody looks.
Drywall dust goes wherever the air goes, and the system was running while they sanded.
The dryer vent, locally
Fairfax County Fire and Rescue tells every household to clean the lint out of the dryer vent pipe once a year, sooner if clothes are taking longer to dry, and to have a gas dryer checked by a professional. Source.

Choosing who cleans them
Questions to ask anybody who quotes you, us included.
In a Burke Centre townhouse the return is often a short, wide box running from the hallway grille to the air handler in its closet. It’s the dirtiest part of the system and the easiest to skip, so ask whether it’s in the price.
Ask whether they’ll put a camera in and show you photos of what’s inside first. A price given at the door, sight unseen, is a price for the average house, not yours.
The returns are the big grilles that pull air back to the system, and they’re the side that collects dust. A job that only counts supply registers leaves half the system alone.
Ask what it covers: every supply and return, the main trunk, the blower compartment. The $59 mailbox coupon covers getting somebody into the attic.

Aaron Kwon came to clean the air ducts, and he was great. He was thorough and careful and extremely polite–just a nice fellow. The office staff at SwiftPro is also wonderful. I am grateful for their splendid service.

Questions
The access is. In a townhouse the air handler sits in a closet or utility room with little space around it, and the runs are short. In a 1970s single-family house outside Burke Centre the furnace is in the basement, with longer trunk lines and floor-joist returns that take more time. The camera photos show which kind of job yours is before you see a number.
No. The Conservancy’s Architectural Standards govern what the neighbors can see, and cleaning ducts never leaves the inside. They’d only come up if the dryer vent had to move to a new spot on an outside wall.
Not on a schedule. A heat pump moves air more hours of the year, so the filter does more work: change it on time and the ducts stay cleaner longer. When the camera photos show dust built up on the duct walls, that’s when cleaning is worth it, in any kind of house.
$598 for Whole Home Air Duct Cleaning, regularly $798, on a home up to 2,000 square feet with one system, $298 for Return Air Duct Cleaning, and $1,798 with an ActivePure air scrubber installed. Dryer vent cleaning is $199 added to a duct cleaning; on its own it’s $199, normally $298, with a year of Comfort+ membership included.
Sometimes, and the camera photos are how you find out. If the duct walls are furred over, cleaning takes that out of the loop your air runs through, and the before and after are obvious. If the metal is clean, it isn’t worth doing and we’ll say so. The EPA’s position is that routine cleaning hasn’t been shown to prevent health problems, so we don’t sell it that way.
