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 Lorton
Laurel Hill is the young part of Lorton. About six in ten of its homes went up after 2000, the median owner home in 2002, and houses from those years mostly carry their air through flexible duct hung off a short sheet-metal trunk: a wire coil inside a plastic liner, wrapped in insulation. Flex cleans up fine with a soft brush and plenty of suction. What the camera looks for along those runs is a sag between hangers, where dust settles, and a kink at a tight turn, which starves the room at the far end.
Newington, on Lorton’s north edge, is the older end. Its median home went up in 1981, more than half its homes are townhouses, and close to six in ten owners heat with electricity. In a townhouse of that age it usually means a heat pump air handler in a hall closet or the attic, a sheet-metal trunk, and a return grille or two pulling for a whole floor. A heat pump moves air through the ducts winter and summer, so those returns and the filter rack in front of the air handler load up faster than they would behind a gas furnace.
Lorton’s middle Census place mixes the two: about half its homes built since 2000, a quarter in condos and apartments, and over a third rented. In a condo the system that serves only your unit is usually yours to keep clean, and the condo documents settle anything the building shares. In a rental the cleaning goes easiest in the gap between leases, with the rooms empty and every register in reach.
About four in ten Laurel Hill homes are single-family, and plenty of two-story houses from the 2000s were built with a second system for the bedroom floor, its air handler up in the attic. That second system is photographed, priced and cleaned separately. Tell us about the attic access when you book: a pull-down ladder in a hallway ceiling is a different morning from a scuttle hole over the garage.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lorton | 2001 | single-family houses, about 4 in 10 | gas, about 7 in 10 | Newer houses: flexible duct, often never cleaned since the builder left. |
| Newington | 1981 | townhouses, about 6 in 10 | electricity, about 6 in 10 | Townhouse streets: an air handler in a closet or attic, and a long dryer vent run. |
| Laurel Hill | 2002 | single-family houses, about 4 in 10 | gas, about 8 in 10 | Newer houses: flexible duct, often never cleaned since the builder left. |
| Mason Neck | 1973 | single-family houses, nearly all | electricity, about 6 in 10 | Houses from before 1980: original sheet metal, and returns built into the floor framing. |

When it’s worth doing
Lots of closet air handlers take the filter through a slot with a gap around it. If the edges of that slot are grey, air has been slipping past the filter rather than through it, and whatever it carried went into the coil and the ducts downstream. In a Newington townhouse that’s the first thing to check.
A 2005 house has had twenty years of filter changes, some of them missed, and the system may have run while the drywall went up. Nobody has looked inside since.
In a townhouse the vent usually runs a long way to the roof or the back wall. When clothes stop drying in one cycle, that line is the first thing to check, and it’s the one with a fire risk behind it.
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 2000s Laurel Hill house most rooms hang off flexible branch runs, and that’s where the sags and kinks hide. A crew that only photographs the main trunk can’t tell you whether the run to the back bedroom is crushed. Ask to see a branch.
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, Kaiden, Oscar, Derek and Felix did a great job installing an HVAC unit and cleaning out the ducts and dryer vents, which were very difficult to access! They were all very professional!

Questions
Not always, and the camera photos settle it. Flex runs in a house from the early 2000s can look nearly new or be lined grey for the first few feet past the air handler, and the difference is mostly how well the filter was kept. If yours look clean, we’ll say so and you keep your money.
Yes, that’s the usual setup there: the heat pump’s air handler in a hall closet or up in the attic, with a short trunk feeding a few registers on each floor. Clear the closet floor before we arrive, and if the unit is in the attic, say so on the booking and the tech brings a taller ladder.
Yes, everywhere in 22079, from the Newington edge down to Mason Neck, on the same price book as Laurel Hill. A house with two systems gets two sets of camera photos and a written price for each before anything is cleaned.
$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.
