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 Falls Church
West Falls Church holds more owner-occupied homes than any other part of the Falls Church mail area, about 7,100, and the median one went up in 1957; Lake Barcroft’s went up in 1958. A house that age has usually been through several furnaces but kept its first ductwork: galvanized sheet-metal trunks across the basement ceiling, short runs up the walls to each room, and seventy years of whatever settled inside.
The City is two different jobs. A third of its homes predate 1960, yet about 28 percent were built since 2000, and 46 percent of City homes sit in buildings of ten units or more. In a condo unit, a compact air handler tucked into a closet feeds a handful of short runs, so the cleaning goes quicker, and a common exhaust shaft or anything else the whole building uses is the association’s to deal with.
Falls Church is one of the two places, with McLean, where boilers are a regular part of our heating work. A house heated by radiators may have no ductwork at all, or only a cooling system added later with its own ducts in the attic. Say which when you book, so the price fits the house.
The dryer vent can go on the same visit, $199 added to a duct cleaning. On the county side, Fairfax County Fire and Rescue’s once-a-year advice is in the card below. Inside the City, the Arlington County Fire Department, which offers home safety checks to City of Falls Church residents, asks on its checklist whether your clothes dryer vent is clean and properly installed.

When it’s worth doing
When ducts were fitted into an attic decades after the house went up, the runs tend to be long and flexible, with one return grille in a hallway ceiling pulling for the whole floor. That return loads up fast, and it’s where the camera goes first.
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 1950s Falls Church house it often is. Original sheet metal cleans up well. A crushed or disconnected run is a repair before it’s a cleaning, and the camera photos show which you have.
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.

Questions
Yes, as long as it’s the unit’s own: the closet air handler and the runs feeding your rooms. Close to half the City’s homes, and more than six in ten in Bailey’s Crossroads, are in buildings of ten units or more, where a shared shaft or exhaust is the association’s job. We’ll photograph what we see and say whose it is.
Maybe not. Radiators heat with hot water in pipes, not air in ducts. If central air went in later there’s a separate air handler, usually up in the attic, with ducts of its own, and those we clean. A ductless mini-split has no ducts at all.
The cleaning isn’t: no permit on either side, same crew, same price. The houses are. The City mixes 1950s houses with buildings put up since 2000, while about seven in ten county-side homes predate 1980, and Seven Corners and Bailey’s Crossroads are mostly apartments and condos.
$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.
Ready when you are
Call, or send the form at the top. The camera photos come first and cost nothing, including when yours turn out to be fine.
