Air Duct Cleaning - One Price Per System, Agreed Before We Start

Trusted Air Duct Cleaning Nationwide

Most families don’t think about their air ducts until something makes them: a dusty film on the furniture two days after you wiped it down, a musty smell when the heat kicks on, or a child’s cough that lingers through every season. The ducts inside your walls move more air than anything else in your home, and when they’re dirty, every room pays for it. Morton’s Air Duct Cleaning has cleaned ducts in homes across the country since 2005, and every job starts the same way: a written price before we touch anything, and a 365-Day Done Right Promise stamped behind it. Call (323) 918-4345 and a live person answers, any hour, any day.

Air Duct Cleaning Services

Air Duct Cleaning Services remove the dust, pet hair, pollen, and debris that settle inside your home’s ductwork over months and years of daily use. Most households need this service every three to five years, though homes with multiple shedding pets, recent renovations, or a family member with allergies often benefit from more frequent visits. Morton’s Air Duct Cleaning uses Rotobrush and Nikro equipment to pull debris loose and capture it at the source, not blow it through the house. A typical single-system home runs $350 to $650 depending on size and how long it’s been since the last cleaning; see our Air Duct Cleaning cost guide for more detail. You’ll see the written price before any work starts, and it won’t change when the invoice arrives.

Supply and Return Duct Cleaning

Every system has two paths: supply ducts that push conditioned air into rooms, and return ducts that pull air back to the furnace or air handler. We clean both, because cleaning only one side of the system leaves the other side free to re-contaminate the air within days.

Registers and Grille Cleaning

Those louvered covers on your walls and floors trap a surprising share of dust and pet hair. Our technicians remove, clean, and reinstall them as part of the job, so the air you breathe crosses clean surfaces at every point.

HVAC Duct Cleaning

HVAC Duct Cleaning is the full-system approach: not just the duct runs themselves, but the furnace cabinet, blower fan, evaporator coil, and the connections between them. When any single part of that chain stays dirty, it re-soils everything else within weeks. Morton’s has cleaned and serviced HVAC systems since our founding in 2005, and our technicians work with Honeywell and Aprilaire components daily. For a standard single-furnace home, HVAC Duct Cleaning typically runs $400 to $700. The written quote you receive before we start includes the coil, the blower, and the cabinet, because a half-clean system isn’t clean at all.

Blower and Evaporator Coil Cleaning

The blower wheel moves air, and the coil conditions it. Both collect dust in ways that measurably restrict airflow and force your system to work harder for the same comfort. We clean these components so the whole system breathes easier.

Filter Housing and Cabinet Cleaning

Even with a good filter, the housing and cabinet around it accumulate dust that gets pulled into the airstream. We vacuum and wipe down the filter housing and surrounding cabinet on every full-system cleaning.

Vent Cleaning

Vent Cleaning targets the visible ends of your ventilation system: the ceiling and wall registers, floor grilles, and bathroom exhaust vents that collect dust, grease film, and pet hair. It’s easy to overlook them, but every ounce of air you breathe passes across those surfaces. Morton’s includes vent cleaning in every duct cleaning job, because there’s no point in cleaning the pipes if the vents themselves stay dirty. For homes where the ducts are in decent shape but the vents are visibly coated, a focused vent cleaning runs $150 to $300. Either way, the price is written down before we begin.

Bathroom Exhaust Vent Cleaning

Bathroom fans pull moisture and odors out, but the vent behind them collects dust that cuts airflow and lets humidity linger. A clean exhaust vent pulls more moisture, which means less risk of mildew around the tub and ceiling.

Floor Register and Wall Grille Cleaning

Floor registers are dust magnets in every room with carpet, and wall grilles catch the dust that floats at head height. We remove each cover, clean both sides, and reset them before we finish.

Air Duct Repair

Air Duct Repair fixes the leaks, loose joints, and torn sections that quietly undo the work your HVAC system does. Small gaps at duct joints can bleed enough conditioned air into attics and crawlspaces that your utility bill climbs while rooms stay uncomfortable. Morton’s technicians find these problems during a cleaning or a standalone inspection, and we’ll show you what we found before any repair begins. Sealing a handful of accessible leaks and re-supporting sagging runs typically costs $150 to $400, while replacing a badly torn section can run $300 to $800 depending on length and access. Every repair gets the same written-price rule as every cleaning, no exceptions.

Sealing Leaks and Loose Joints

Duct joints loosen over time as the metal expands and contracts with temperature swings. We seal accessible joints with the right materials for your system, so the air you paid to condition actually reaches your rooms.

Replacing Damaged Duct Sections

Torn flex duct, crushed metal runs, and sections chewed by rodents can’t be patched well. We replace them cleanly and reconnect the system so airflow returns to where the design intended it.

Ductwork Cleaning

Ductwork Cleaning covers the entire network of pipes that carries air through your home: main trunks, branch runs, elbows, and transitions. After a renovation, a pet-heavy year, or simply a decade of daily living, that network accumulates a layer of dust that ordinary filter changes never touch. Morton’s technicians use Rotobrush agitation tools paired with HEPA-filtered vacuum collection, so debris leaves the system and doesn’t recirculate through your living room. Whole-home ductwork cleaning for an average three-bedroom house runs $400 to $650. If your ducts haven’t been cleaned in more than five years, that tends to sit at the higher end.

Main Trunk and Branch Run Cleaning

The main trunk moves the most air, so it collects the most debris. Branch runs multiply the surface area where dust settles. We clean both fully, not just the first few feet of each line.

Transition and Elbow Cleaning

Bends and transitions are where airflow slows and dust drops out of the airstream. These are also the spots most likely to be missed in a fast job. Our process works each change of direction until the collection tool comes back clean.

Air Duct Inspection

Air Duct Inspection gives you an honest look at what’s actually inside your ductwork before you commit to any work. Using a camera scope, we can show you the dust level, any mold or moisture concerns, and the condition of the joints and connections. A standalone inspection runs $75 to $150, and that fee is credited toward our Air Duct Cleaning in Los Angeles if you book within 30 days. Morton’s has done inspections like this since 2005, and the crew always shows you what we see before we recommend anything.

Camera Inspection of Duct Interiors

A small camera goes into the duct and shows us, and you, exactly what’s there. Dust, debris, moisture staining, rodent sign: you see it in real time on our screen. There’s no guessing and no upselling from an invisible problem.

Airflow and Leak Assessment

Uneven airflow between rooms often points to leaks or blockages deeper in the system. We check airflow at registers and inspect accessible joints, so we know whether your issue is dirt, damage, or undersized runs.

Residential Air Duct Cleaning

Residential Air Duct Cleaning is the service we built Morton’s around: careful work in homes where kids nap, dogs shed, and floors matter. Our technicians arrive in uniform, put on shoe covers before they cross the threshold, and lay drop cloths from the door to the work area, every time. We use quieter tools and we’ll work around a nap schedule if you tell us one. For an average single-family home, residential air duct cleaning runs $350 to $650. The written price you approve before we start is the price on the invoice when we finish, and a photo of the clean-up comes before the crew leaves.

Pet-Friendly Household Cleaning

Homes with dogs and cats accumulate pet hair and dander in the ducts faster than pet-free homes. We clean more thoroughly in these homes, and we choose products with your animals in mind. The goal is cleaner air for the whole household, four-legged members included.

Allergy-Season Deep Cleaning

Pollen, mold spores, and fine dust settle in ducts during spring and fall, then circulate every time the fan runs. A deep clean before allergy season gives your family a cleaner baseline, especially in bedrooms where breathing matters most; our Air Duct Cleaning Emergency Preparedness Guide for Los Angeles Homes explains when to schedule.

Commercial Air Duct Cleaning

Commercial Air Duct Cleaning handles the larger, often more complex systems found in offices, retail spaces, clinics, and small industrial buildings. These systems run more hours per day than residential units, so they collect more dust, and that dust affects both air quality and system efficiency. Pricing for commercial jobs depends on square footage, system complexity, and access, with most small-to-midsize commercial cleanings falling between $800 and $2,500. Morton’s provides a written proposal and a walk-through before any commercial work begins, because building managers need to plan, not guess.

Office and Retail Duct Cleaning

Open-office systems and retail spaces often have long trunk runs and multiple rooftop units. We schedule the work around your operating hours so the job doesn’t shut down your business day.

Multi-Unit and Medical Space Cleaning

Multi-unit buildings and medical offices need cleaner air and better documentation. We clean to the same standard we use in homes, and we provide before-and-after documentation so you have a record of the work.

Brands We Service

We work on systems built around Honeywell filtration, and our technicians know the pressure-drop and airflow characteristics of Honeywell media cabinets well enough to spot when a filter is quietly restricting your system. We also see Aprilaire components in a large share of the homes we clean, and we understand how their whole-home humidifiers and filters interact with the ductwork.

Our Rotobrush and Nikro equipment is chosen deliberately: Rotobrush’s agitation system breaks dust loose deep in the runs, and Nikro’s HEPA vacuums capture it so it doesn’t re-enter your living space. Whether you have Honeywell, Aprilaire, or any other make, we can help.

Signs You Need a Pro Right Now

• Dust lands on surfaces within two days of wiping them down. That dust isn’t appearing from nowhere. It falls out of your registers every time the fan cycles on, which means it’s moving through the ducts first.
• You can’t remember ever having the ducts cleaned. If the home is older than five years and no one has touched the ductwork, it has accumulated a layer you’d rather not see. We’ll show you with a camera before any work begins.
• Some rooms stay too hot or cold no matter the thermostat setting. Restricted airflow from heavy dust buildup, or leaks in the ducts, can rob specific rooms of conditioned air. An inspection finds which.
• A musty, stale odor comes from the vents when the system starts up. Smells that arrive with the airflow live in the airflow. Moisture, dust, and sometimes worse collect inside duct runs and the odor rides the air into your rooms.
• You have pets that shed, and the vents show hair around the registers. Pet hair travels through the returns and settles in the ducts, then breaks down and re-circulates. Homes with dogs and cats need more frequent cleaning, plain and simple.

Our Process, Step by Step

1. 1
   Walk-through and written quote. We walk your home, note the system size, access points, and any visible concerns, then hand you a written price before anything gets touched. That number doesn’t change on the invoice.
2. 2
   Protect the floors and furniture. Shoe covers go on at the door, drop cloths go down from the entry to the work area, and furniture near the registers gets covered. The house stays clean before, during, and after.
3. 3
   Agitate and extract the debris. We connect Rotobrush agitation tools to the system to break dust loose, then capture it with a HEPA-filtered Nikro vacuum. Debris leaves the duct and goes into the collection unit, not your carpet.
4. 4
   Clean the components. Registers, vent covers, blower, coil, and cabinet all get attention during the same visit. We’re here to clean the whole system, not just the obvious pipes.
5. 5
   Final walk-through with photo proof. We show you the before-and-after, answer every question, and leave you with a photo of the clean-up. If anything isn’t right, the 365-Day Done Right Promise means we come back and make it right.
