Why Greater Boston Chooses Us
Boston Air Duct Cleaners is a local, owner-operated company based at 1121 Washington St in West Newton — not a national franchise dispatching subcontractors. Every crew is our own: background-checked, factory-trained on commercial negative-pressure equipment, and fully insured. We quote flat prices before work begins, document every job with before-and-after photos, and follow NADCA-standard source-removal methods on every system we touch. That is why so much of our work comes from repeat customers, property managers and word-of-mouth referrals across {county}.
Every cleaning follows the source-removal method recommended by the National Air Duct Cleaners Association: seal the system, place it under powerful negative pressure, mechanically agitate every supply and return run, and capture the debris in HEPA filtration. It is the difference between actually removing contamination and simply redistributing it — and it is why our before-and-after photos speak for themselves.
Our NADCA-Standard Process
Whole-Home Inspection & System Assessment
Every job starts with eyes on the system. Your technician inspects the furnace or air handler, counts and maps every supply and return, checks filter condition, and looks inside accessible ducts — with an inspection camera when useful. You get a clear picture of contamination levels and a confirmed flat price before any work begins.
Protect the Home & Seal the System
Before any equipment starts, we lay floor protection along work paths, use corner guards on tight stairways, and wear boot covers indoors. Every register is then sealed with magnetic covers or poly sheeting so that once negative pressure is established, air can only flow where we direct it — through the debris-collection system, never into your rooms.
Establish Negative Pressure
We connect a high-powered negative-air machine — HEPA-filtered and rated for thousands of CFM — directly to your main supply and return trunks through sealed access ports. The entire duct network goes under continuous vacuum, so every particle we loosen in the next phase travels one direction only: out of your house and into our collection system.
Mechanical Agitation of Every Duct Run
With the system under vacuum, we work register by register: rotary brushes sized to each duct's dimensions scrub the walls while compressed-air whips and skipper balls chase debris from the far end of each branch back toward the vacuum connection. Supplies, returns, vertical risers and horizontal trunks all get individually agitated — no run is skipped.

Frequently Asked Questions
What areas do you serve?
We serve more than 130 cities and towns across Greater Boston from our West Newton headquarters — including Boston and all of its neighborhoods, Cambridge, Somerville, Brookline, Newton, Quincy, Waltham, the MetroWest, the North Shore and the South Shore. Same-day and next-day appointments are available on most routes; call (617) 390-7145 to check today's availability for your address.
How much does air duct cleaning cost in the Boston area?
Most single-family homes run $350–$700 for a complete NADCA-standard source-removal cleaning, depending on the number of vents and HVAC zones. Dryer vent cleaning typically runs $149–$299. We quote flat prices before any work begins — the number we quote is the number you pay, with no on-site upselling or per-vent surprises.
Do you clean both air ducts and dryer vents in one visit?
Yes — the combined air duct + dryer vent package is our most popular service. Bundling both into one visit saves on travel and setup, and we pass that saving along with package pricing. One appointment leaves every duct, vent and dryer exhaust line in the house verifiably clean.
Are you licensed and insured?
Fully. Our technicians are background-checked employees — never day-labor subcontractors — and every job is covered by comprehensive liability insurance. We can provide certificates of insurance for condo associations, property managers and commercial clients before work begins.
How fast can you get here?
Because we are based in West Newton and route our crews geographically, most Greater Boston addresses can be served same-day or next-day for much of the year. Call before noon at (617) 390-7145 and we can often have a crew at your door the same afternoon. Fall pre-heating-season weeks are our busiest — book those a week or two ahead.
What makes Boston Air Duct Cleaners different?
Three things: method, honesty and locality. We perform true negative-pressure source-removal cleaning with commercial truck-grade equipment — never a cosmetic vent wipe. We quote flat and photograph everything, before and after. And we are genuinely local: an owner-operated West Newton company whose reputation depends on referrals from your neighbors, not on coupon-site lead volume.
