Whole-system duct and dryer vent check with before-and-after photos - you see exactly what came out of your vents
That "$99 whole-house special" is a bait ad - the real number appears once they are in your hallway, or the "clean" is a shop-vac at the register. We photograph the inside of your ducts before and after instead.

AfterTrusted HVAC Cleaning Nationwide
Your heating and cooling system is only as clean as its dirtiest part. A coil caked with dust, a blower wheel wrapped in lint, or a duct run lined with years of debris will push all of it into your rooms every time the system starts. Morton’s Air Duct Cleaning has cleaned whole HVAC systems in homes and businesses across the country since 2005. Every job starts with a written price before we touch anything, and a 365-Day Done Right Promise stands behind the work. Call (323) 918-4345 and a live person answers, any hour, any day.
HVAC Cleaning Services
HVAC cleaning means cleaning the whole air path, not one piece of it. That includes the supply and return ducts, the registers and grilles, the blower, the evaporator coil, and the furnace or air handler cabinet. Skip any one of those and the dust left behind finds its way back into the clean parts within weeks. Morton’s crews use Rotobrush agitation tools to break debris loose and HEPA-filtered Nikro vacuums to pull it out at the source, so nothing gets blown through your house. A typical single-system home runs $400 to $700 for a full HVAC cleaning. You see the written price before work starts, and it is the same number on the invoice. For a closer look at pricing, read our Air Duct Cleaning cost guide.

AC Coil Cleaning
AC coil cleaning removes the film of dust, pollen, and grime that builds up on the coils of your cooling system. A dirty coil acts like a blanket. It blocks heat transfer, so the system runs longer to reach the same temperature and your power bill creeps up. Morton’s technicians clean accessible coil surfaces with coil-safe cleaners and low-pressure rinsing, and we protect the surrounding cabinet and floor while we work. Standalone coil cleaning typically runs $100 to $250 and costs less when it is done together with a duct cleaning.
Indoor Coil Access and Protection
We open the access panel, cover nearby surfaces, and capture runoff so nothing drips into your living space or onto the furnace. Every step is photographed so you can see the before and after.
AC Cleaning
AC cleaning covers the parts of your cooling system that touch the air you breathe: the blower compartment, the drain pan, the coil housing, and the connections to the ducts. Condensate drain pans are a common trouble spot, because standing moisture mixed with dust can turn into a musty smell that rides the airflow into every room. We clean the pan, check the drain for slow flow, and wipe down the compartment. If you only run your air conditioning part of the year, a cleaning before the first hot week gives you a fresh start for the season. Most AC cleaning visits run $125 to $300.
Evaporator Coil Cleaning
Evaporator coil cleaning targets the indoor coil that actually cools your air. It sits inside the air handler or on top of the furnace, which means it collects whatever gets past your filter. Even a good filter lets fine dust through, and that dust bonds with the moisture on the coil to form a mat that is hard to remove with a vacuum alone. Morton’s uses foaming coil cleaner and controlled rinsing to lift that mat without bending the fins. A clean evaporator coil lets air pass freely, helps the system cool evenly, and reduces the chance of the coil icing over. Expect $150 to $350 depending on coil size and access.
Fin Straightening and Drain Flush
Bent fins choke airflow. When we find them, we comb them back into line, then flush the drain so the water you just cleaned off has a clear path out.
AC Duct Cleaning
AC duct cleaning clears the cold-air supply runs and the return pathways that carry cooled air through your home. Cooling ducts sweat in humid weather, and that light moisture makes dust stick to the walls of the metal or flex duct instead of passing through. Over a few summers it turns into a gray coating that restricts the flow and can hold odors. We clean the full run with agitation and HEPA extraction, then clean the registers by hand. Whole-home AC duct cleaning runs $350 to $650 for an average house. If you also need leaks repaired, see our Air Duct Repair service, or learn how Duct Sealing keeps your cooled air from escaping into the attic.
Furnace Cleaning
Furnace cleaning removes dust and soot-free debris from the blower, cabinet, burner compartment surroundings, and filter housing of your heating system. Dust on the blower wheel cuts airflow and makes the fan work harder. Lint around the cabinet can create a burning-dust smell the first time you turn the heat on each fall, which is the most common reason homeowners call us in October. Morton’s does not service gas valves or burners, and if we spot a problem that needs a licensed heating tech, we tell you plainly and put it in writing. A furnace cleaning on its own typically runs $125 to $300.
Blower Wheel and Cabinet
The blower wheel is cleaned blade by blade, because the heaviest buildup sits on the back edge of each fin. We then vacuum the cabinet floor and wipe the interior surfaces.
AC Vent Cleaning
AC vent cleaning focuses on the registers, grilles, and diffusers where cooled air enters each room. Dust, pet hair, and sticky residue gather on the louvers and inside the boot just behind the cover. Homes with smokers, cooking oil in the air, or shedding pets see this buildup much faster. We remove each cover, wash it, vacuum the boot opening, and reinstall it before we leave. Vent cleaning on its own runs $150 to $300, and it is always included when we do a full duct cleaning.
Furnace Duct Cleaning
Furnace duct cleaning is the part of the job that clears the warm-air supply trunks and branch runs fed by your heating system. These ducts dry out each winter, and the air moving through them picks up fine particles and carries them to your rooms. If your furnace runs for months at a stretch and the ducts have not been cleaned in five years or more, there is likely a layer of dust at every bend. We work from the furnace outward, agitating each run and capturing the debris in the HEPA collection unit. Furnace duct cleaning for an average three-bedroom house runs $350 to $650, with larger or older systems landing higher.
Return Air Plenum
The return plenum draws the most dust back to the furnace, so it gets special attention. We clean it fully so the filter is not the only thing standing between your family and the dirt.
Signs You Need a Pro Right Now
- Dust returns within days of cleaning. If you wipe the shelves and the film is back by the weekend, the air is carrying it from somewhere, and the ducts and blower are the usual source.
- The system runs all day but the house never feels right. A clogged coil or a caked blower wheel limits airflow, so the system works longer for less comfort.
- A musty or burning-dust smell comes out when the system starts. Odors travel on the airflow. Moisture on the coil or dust on the heat exchanger area is the usual cause.
- You see visible dust blowing out of the registers. That means debris is loose in the duct runs and moving into the room.
- Someone in the home has allergy or asthma symptoms that get worse indoors. Dirty HVAC components keep recirculating the same particles, and a full cleaning removes them.
Our Process, Step by Step
- 1
Walk-through and written quote. We look at your system, note the size and access points, and hand you a written price before anything gets touched. That number does not change on the invoice.
- 2
Protect the floors and furniture. Shoe covers go on at the door, drop cloths go down to the work area, and anything near the registers gets covered.
- 3
Clean the components. The coil, blower, drain pan, and cabinet get cleaned first, so loosened dust does not fall into freshly cleaned ducts.
- 4
Agitate and extract the ducts. We connect Rotobrush tools to break debris loose, then capture it with a HEPA-filtered Nikro vacuum. Registers and grilles are washed and put back.
- 5
Final walk-through with photo proof. We show you the before and after, answer questions, and leave you a photo of the clean-up. If anything is not right, the 365-Day Done Right Promise means we come back.
How Much Does HVAC Cleaning Cost?
A full HVAC cleaning for a single-system home runs $400 to $700. That price covers the ducts, registers, blower, coil, and cabinet in one visit. Homes with two systems, large floor plans, or ducts that have not been cleaned in over five years can reach $900. Focused services cost less: $100 to $250 for a coil, $125 to $300 for a furnace or AC cleaning, and $150 to $300 for vents.
Three things move the price: system size and access, how dirty the components are, and whether repairs are needed. The best way to avoid overpaying is a written quote that lists exactly what is included. A cheap offer that skips the coil and blower is half a job. Morton’s free estimate covers the whole system in one honest number.

Frequently Asked Questions About HVAC Cleaning
HVAC cleaning is the removal of dust and debris from your whole heating and cooling system: the ducts, registers, blower, evaporator coil, drain pan, and cabinet. Morton’s uses Rotobrush agitation and HEPA-filtered Nikro vacuums so the debris leaves the system. Every job comes with a written price before we start.
Most single-system homes take three to five hours. Larger homes, two-system setups, or heavily soiled components can take most of a day. Your written quote includes a time estimate.
A full cleaning of a single-system home usually runs $400 to $700. Coil-only or furnace-only visits cost less. You get an exact written price before work begins. Call (323) 918-4345 for a free estimate.
Every three to five years is typical for the ducts, and coils and blowers can be checked yearly with your regular maintenance. Homes with shedding pets, recent renovation work, or allergy sufferers often benefit from shorter intervals.
