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.

AfterFast, Reliable Air Duct Cleaning Across New Canaan
Air duct cleaning in New Canaan, CT typically costs $450-$850 for a whole-home system, with most jobs scheduled within a week and completed in a single day. Our crews know the roads from the village center up to Smith Ridge Road and Wahackme Road, and we coordinate scheduling through our Hartford office so New Canaan families aren’t left waiting.
We’ve been cleaning ducts in Fairfield County since 2005, and New Canaan keeps us busy for a reason no generic service page will tell you: this town’s famous mid-century modern homes were built for radiant heat, with forced-air cooling shoved into walls and crawlspaces decades later. Those retrofit runs are where the real problems hide. If you live in a Harvard Five-era home off Wahackme Road, or a 1990s colonial revival nearer the Merritt, we’ll look at your actual duct layout before we quote a price. Call (323) 918-4345 to schedule a free estimate.
Why Morton’s Air Duct Cleaning Is New Canaan’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
New Canaan homeowners call us back because we treat the house like it’s our own. Our technicians wear shoe covers and lay drop cloths before they touch a floor, and they know to keep voices down if there’s a toddler napping or a dog nervous about strangers. Every visit starts with a written price agreed before any work begins, and ends with a photo of the clean-up sent to you before the crew leaves.
We’re part of the Cedarwell family of independently owned companies, and every job carries both the Cedarwell Care Promise and our 365-Day Done Right Promise. If something isn’t right, we make it right. Full stop. Our scheduling is coordinated from Hartford, but our crews serve New Canaan locally, which means we understand the difference between a flat-roof modern on a wooded north-facing lot and a center-hall colonial near the village.
A live person answers our phone 24/7. Not a chatbot, not a voicemail tree. That matters when you’re trying to coordinate around school pickup or a pet that needs to be crated.
Commercial Air Duct Cleaning in New Canaan
Commercial Air Duct Cleaning in New Canaan covers office suites on Elm Street, retail spaces near the train station, and professional buildings along the Post Road corridor. We use Rotobrush and Nikro commercial-grade equipment to handle larger square footage and more complex zoned systems, always under containment so your business doesn’t smell like a construction site tomorrow.
A typical commercial duct cleaning in New Canaan runs $1,200-$3,500 depending on system size and accessibility. We schedule around your hours, not ours.
Office and Retail Systems
Small professional offices with rooftop units or split systems need source removal just like homes, but with documentation for property managers. We provide before-and-after photos and a written service report for your files.
Post-Renovation Commercial Cleans
New Canaan’s older commercial buildings often see dust from plaster repair or new flooring migrate into returns. We seal registers during agitation and run HEPA-negative-air collection so construction debris doesn’t resettle in your conference room.
Air Duct Cleaning Services in New Canaan
Air Duct Cleaning Services in New Canaan start with a visual inspection of your supply and return trunks, then move to source removal using brush-and-vacuum agitation with HEPA filtration. For a typical 2,500-square-foot colonial or split-level, expect $450-$650. Mid-century modern homes with crawlspace access issues can run $650-$850 if we need to cut panels to reach non-standard runs.
Our Air Duct Cleaning team brings Abatement Technologies portable vacuums and Rotobrush contact cleaning tools to every job. We don’t use rental gear.
Video Inspection and Documentation
We feed a camera through your main trunk before and after cleaning. You’ll see the buildup, and you’ll see it gone. In New Canaan’s older homes, we often find disconnected branches or crushed flex that the camera reveals before we even start agitation.
Supply and Return Duct Sealing
Cleaning helps, but leaking ducts undo the work in months. We test static pressure and seal accessible joints with mastic or metal tape so your conditioned air stays in the rooms you paid to heat or cool.

Trusted Brands We Service in New Canaan
We clean and service systems with components from Aprilaire, Abatement Technologies, Guardsman, and Rotobrush, and we stock common fittings and media filters for New Canaan customers so you’re not waiting on a warehouse shipment. Our Nikro HEPA vacuums pull 99.97% of particles at 0.3 microns, which matters when you’re dealing with decades of oak and birch pollen trapped in a 1960s duct board plenum. If your home has Honeywell or Aprilaire whole-house filtration, we’ll check and replace media during the same visit.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in New Canaan Homes
- Retrofit runs with no access. We opened up a 1962 flat-roof modern on Wahackme Road and found the original installer had run six-inch fiberglass duct board supplies horizontally through a 6-inch crawlspace with zero cleanout ports - meaning our tech had to cut access panels just to reach the runs. Once we were inside, camera inspection showed three crushed and disconnected branches dumping conditioned air straight into the soil, and our Rotobrush agitation tools pulled decades of pollen and fiberglass debris back to a HEPA filtration unit under negative pressure.
- Degrading fiberglass duct board. The 1950s-70s homes around Smith Ridge Road often have original fiberglass plenums and under-floor supply runs. These shed fibers and harbor mold more readily than sheet metal, and too-aggressive cleaning tears them. We adjust method and pressure, not just crank up the vacuum.
- Moisture re-contamination on north-facing lots. New Canaan’s wooded properties off Wahackme and Smith Ridge trap ground humidity against foundations. Blower compartments get damp, and that moisture re-contaminates supply and return ducts after a routine cleaning. We check the air handler, not just the ducts.
- Pollen loading from the tree canopy. Oak, maple, and birch pollen here is among the heaviest in Connecticut. Return-air intakes in older homes weren’t designed for high-filtration loads, so accumulation happens fast and dense.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in New Canaan, CT
Most whole-home residential duct cleanings in New Canaan fall between $450 and $850. A straightforward colonial with standard sheet-metal trunk and branch ductwork, accessible basement, and 12-18 registers lands in the $450-$650 range. Mid-century modern homes with crawlspace access issues, fiberglass duct board, or the need for panel cutting before cleaning typically run $650-$850.
Commercial systems start around $1,200 and scale with square footage and zoning complexity. We do not price per vent. One flat price per system, agreed in writing before we start. No surprises on the invoice.
What moves the number: accessibility of the main trunk, condition of existing duct material, whether video inspection reveals disconnected or crushed runs needing repair, and if the air handler compartment requires separate attention for moisture or mold. Every estimate is free, and we explain what we found before we ask you to approve anything. Call (323) 918-4345 for an exact quote.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in New Canaan
Because many mid-century modern homes off Wahackme Road and Smith Ridge Road were built for radiant heat, with forced-air cooling retrofitted later through tight crawlspaces that original installers never expected anyone to service. The duct runs have no cleanout ports, so we cut access panels to reach the debris. We seal and insulate every panel we cut, and we include that work in your written price upfront.
Colonials typically have sheet-metal trunk and branch systems in an accessible basement, which cleans straightforwardly. Mid-century moderns often have fiberglass duct board plenums and horizontal under-floor runs that degrade with age and require gentler agitation tools to avoid tearing. The retrofit layout also means more hidden disconnections and crushed branches. Call (323) 918-4345 and we’ll inspect before we quote.
Yes. The dense oak, maple, and birch canopy produces some of Connecticut’s heaviest pollen loads, and older return-air systems weren’t designed to filter it effectively. We see significant accumulation in homes that haven’t been cleaned in five-plus years, and families with allergy-sensitive kids notice the difference after source removal. We can also recommend higher-efficiency media upgrades compatible with your existing air handler.
We inspect the air handler and blower compartment, not just the duct runs. If we find damp conditions that will re-contaminate supply and return ducts after cleaning, we document it and explain your options before we proceed. Sometimes the fix is improved drainage, sometimes it’s a dehumidification strategy, and sometimes it’s sealing the duct board itself. You’ll know before we start.
We service both. Commercial work covers offices, retail, and professional buildings in New Canaan with the same written-price-upfront standard and the same 365-Day Done Right Promise. Commercial systems typically cost $1,200-$3,500 depending on size and complexity. Call (323) 918-4345 to discuss your building.
