Construction or renovation dust entered the duct system
A defined scope before work begins
Residential Duct Cleaning
A whole-home duct-cleaning appointment with the access, vent count, equipment protection and completion scope clarified before service begins.
Maintenance or active fault
Know which problem the appointment needs to solve.
Duct cleaning removes accessible debris from the agreed air-distribution pathways. It does not repair damaged ducts, correct active moisture, remove every indoor-air source or replace furnace and air-handler maintenance.
Visible debris is present inside accessible supply or return pathways
A known contamination source has been corrected and cleanup is needed
The home has never had a clear, documented duct-cleaning scope
The visit starts with the actual intent.
Duct cleaning removes accessible debris from the agreed air-distribution pathways. It does not repair damaged ducts, correct active moisture, remove every indoor-air source or replace furnace and air-handler maintenance.
Make the larger decision with evidence.
If inspection finds disconnected, crushed, contaminated or unsealed ductwork, mechanical repair or replacement may be more useful than repeatedly cleaning the same problem. That work should be scoped separately.

A clear service scope before the visit.
The booked appointment covers the confirmed service scope. If diagnosis reveals a separate repair or part, the customer should receive an explanation and price before authorizing additional work.

- 02
Protect and clean
The agreed supply, return and main pathways are cleaned while the connected HVAC equipment is protected.

Report access and limitations
The completion explanation identifies what was reached, what was not and any separate equipment or duct repair need.
Before you book
Questions customers ask.
Plain answers about price, scope, safety and what happens if the service identifies a repair.
What does unlimited ducts mean?
It refers to the current residential online booking description. Confirm the number of HVAC systems, home type and access conditions so exclusions or unusual scope can be identified before the appointment.
Does duct cleaning fix every indoor-air concern?
No. Moisture, filtration, ventilation, building materials and active sources can all affect indoor air. Duct cleaning addresses the agreed ductwork scope.
Are dryer vents included?
Dryer-vent cleaning is listed as a separate service and price in B.C HVAC's booking system.
Independent customer guidance
Use authoritative sources for safety and program rules. B.C HVAC does not control utility rebates or provincial qualification requirements.
