Air Vent Cleaning
Register, grille, and boot cleaning to remove buildup at every opening.
About Air Vent Cleaning
Vents are where duct contamination becomes visible. Registers, grilles, and the boots behind them collect a felt-like layer of dust that the airstream then peels off in flakes into the room. Cleaning them properly means removing the covers, washing them, and cleaning the boot cavity behind — not running a vacuum wand across the face.
We remove each register and grille, wash and dry them, vacuum the boot and the first section of the branch run with a HEPA vacuum and brush, and reinstall everything level and secure. It is a fast, affordable service that makes an immediate visible difference in rooms where dust streaking around the vent has stained the ceiling or wall.
At $15 per vent it is often booked alongside a full duct cleaning or as targeted maintenance between deep cleans, especially in bedrooms and nurseries where air quality matters most.

How the appointment works
- 1Inspection & walkthrough
We arrive in the 9am–6pm window, protect your floors and furnishings, then inspect each register, grille, and boot with an HD camera and show you what we find before any work starts.
- 2Containment & setup
Negative pressure is established with a truck-mounted or portable HEPA vacuum so debris travels out of the building, not into your rooms.
- 3Agitation & extraction
Rotary brushes, air whips, and compressed-air tools break loose the bonded dust and buildup while the vacuum pulls everything out under continuous suction.
- 4Verification & report
We re-inspect on camera, take after photos, walk you through the results, and only then do you pay the technician at your doorstep.

Common questions
How much does air vent cleaning cost?+
$15 per vent on its own. Unlimited supply vents are included in the $179 per AC unit whole-home package, which is better value for most homes.
Is vent cleaning the same as duct cleaning?+
No. Vent cleaning covers the openings and the boots just behind them. Duct cleaning covers the full run of trunk lines and branches. The package covers both.
Why do my vents leave black streaks on the ceiling?+
That is fine soot and dust escaping around the grille. Cleaning the register and boot and correcting the seal stops the streaking from returning.
