AfterHow Much Does Air Duct Cleaning Cost in Brooklyn?
Air duct cleaning in Brooklyn, NY typically costs between $350 and $650 for a full-system cleaning of a standard single-family home or townhouse, with most Brooklyn families paying around $450 to $550. Larger rentals and co-op units with multiple zones or serious buildup can run $700 to $1,000 or more. The exact price depends on the number of vents, how long it’s been since the last cleaning, and whether dryer vent cleaning is added on.
Air Duct Cleaning Cost Breakdown (2026)
Here’s what families in Brooklyn can expect to pay in 2026, based on the scope of work. These are real ranges Morton’s Air Duct Cleaning sees in neighborhoods like Park Slope, Bed-Stuy, Bay Ridge, and Williamsburg, not national averages pulled from a database.
| Service | Typical Brooklyn Price Range | What’s Included |
|---|---|---|
| Basic single-system cleaning (up to 10 vents) | $350 – $450 | Supply and return ducts, registers, main trunk line, one furnace/air handler |
| Standard home (10 – 16 vents) | $450 – $600 | All supply and return ducts, registers, plenum, blower compartment, filter housing |
| Larger home or multi-zone system (16 – 25 vents) | $600 – $850 | Full duct system, multiple returns, attic or basement trunk lines |
| Dryer vent cleaning (add-on or standalone) | $125 – $225 | Vent line from dryer to exterior, lint trap, exterior vent cap check |
| Furnace/air handler cleaning (add-on) | $75 – $150 | Blower motor, evaporator coil, condensate pan, filter housing |
| Sanitizing fog or anti-microbial treatment (add-on) | $150 – $300 | Applied after mechanical cleaning, pet-safe product options available |
Every Morton’s Air Duct Cleaning visit in Brooklyn comes with a written price before any work starts. You’ll know the full number before our crew unrolls a hose, and the invoice will match what you approved. No surprise line items, no “we found something while we were in there.”
One thing that consistently pushes Brooklyn pricing above national numbers is building age. A prewar brownstone in Bed-Stuy or an older brick rowhouse in Bay Ridge often has ductwork that hasn’t been opened in decades. That means more time on the job, more debris pulled out, and sometimes an extra pass with the Rotobrush or Nikro agitation equipment. We’d rather quote that honestly up front than pretend it’s a one-price-fits-all job.
What Affects Air Duct Cleaning Pricing in Brooklyn
Brooklyn is not one housing market. It’s a patchwork of building types, ages, and layouts, and each one changes how long a duct cleaning takes. Here are the factors that actually move the number on the quote.
- Number of vents and returns. A two-bedroom co-op in Clinton Hill might have 8 supply vents and one return. A three-story brownstone in Park Slope converted to a single-family home can have 20 or more. Every vent gets brushed and extracted, so more vents means more time.
- Building age and duct condition. Homes built before 1950 in neighborhoods like Crown Heights and Ditmas Park often have galvanized steel ducts that have been collecting dust since the Johnson administration. We don’t charge extra just because a building is old, but we do quote more time when the buildup warrants it.
- Access and zoning. A forced-air system split across multiple floors or feeding a finished basement requires more setup and more hose routing. If the furnace is in a crawlspace or a tight Williamsburg cellar, the job takes longer than a clean utility closet in a newer condo.
- Pet hair and dander load. Brooklyn families have dogs, cats, and sometimes both, and that fur works its way into the return side of the system. Heavy pet hair frequently calls for a second extraction pass, and Morton’s uses pet-safe product choices where available because the animals stay in the house while we work.
- Dryer vent condition and length. Dryer vents in older Brooklyn buildings can run 20 to 40 feet from the laundry area to the exterior, often with bends. A long vent run with packed lint takes more time than a short, straight run. That’s why we quote dryer vent cleaning as a line item, not a freebie baked into the duct price.
- Add-on treatments. Sanitizing fog, anti-microbial application, and coil cleaning are all optional and priced separately. We’ll tell you what each one does and what it costs, then you decide. The core duct cleaning price never depends on whether you take add-ons.
How to Save on Air Duct Cleaning
The honest answer: the biggest savings come from booking the right scope the first time, not from hunting for a discount. Here’s what actually helps.
- Bundle duct and dryer vent cleaning. If both are on the same visit, the crew is already there with the equipment running. Combining them usually saves $50 to $75 compared to booking two separate appointments.
- Know how many vents you have before you call. Walk the house once and count the supply registers and returns. Give us that number when you call, and the phone estimate we give you will be tighter from the start.
- Schedule during a normal weekday slot. Brooklyn mornings and early afternoons are easier for us to route efficiently. That savings gets passed through in the quote.
- Ask what your building needs versus what it doesn’t. If someone quotes you a sanitizing fog on a system that was cleaned a year ago, ask why. We’ll tell you honestly. Sometimes the right answer is just a standard cleaning.
- Get the free estimate in writing. Call (607) 536-9605 and we’ll give you a written price before anything starts. That’s not a special offer. It’s how Morton’s Air Duct Cleaning has worked in Brooklyn since 2005, and it’s part of the Cedarwell Care Promise.
Why Brooklyn Families Call Morton’s Air Duct Cleaning
Paul Adeyemi and the team at Morton’s Air Duct Cleaning in Brooklyn have been working in this borough since 2005. That’s two decades of opening up Brooklyn ductwork, and the job hasn’t changed much: show up on time, protect the floors, do the work thoroughly, leave the place cleaner than we found it.
Here’s what that means in practice. Every Morton’s technician is background-checked and arrives in uniform. Shoe covers and drop cloths go down before the equipment comes in, because we know the brownstone parlor floor in Fort Greene and the white oak in a Williamsburg renovation both need the same protection. We run professional equipment from Rotobrush, Nikro, Honeywell, Aprilaire, Abatement Technologies, and Guardsman, not entry-level rental gear. And before the crew leaves, we take a photo of the clean-up and show it to you. That’s the Cedarwell Care Promise, and it’s stamped on every job we do in Brooklyn.
Every completed home visit is backed by the 365-Day Done Right Promise. If the job isn’t done right, we make it right. Not for a week or a month. For a full year.
Families with kids and pets tend to notice two things about a Morton’s visit. First, the tools are quiet enough that a napping toddler in the back bedroom doesn’t wake up. Second, the dog can stay in the apartment. We work around the household as it actually functions, not as a job site that needs to be cleared out.
What’s Actually Included in a Morton’s Air Duct Cleaning
This section exists because air duct cleaning means different things to different companies, and Brooklyn homeowners are right to ask what they’re paying for. Here’s the full scope we quote for a standard system clean.
- Supply and return ducts. Every accessible duct run from the plenum to the register box gets agitated and extracted. We use Rotobrush or Nikro power brushes depending on the duct material and condition, with negative-pressure extraction running the whole time.
- Registers and grilles. Removed, cleaned, and reset. Not just wiped from the outside.
- Plenum and main trunk line. The big central distribution points collect the most debris, so they get the most attention.
- Blower compartment and filter housing. The furnace or air handler side of the system gets vacuumed and wiped down, because that’s where half the dust you see comes from.
- Post-job inspection. We walk you through what came out of the system and show you the before-and-after on the extraction unit. The photo of the clean-up happens at the end, and it’s yours to keep.
If you have a central AC coil or a humidifier in the system, we’ll quote those separately and explain what’s optional. Nothing gets added to the invoice after the fact.
Is Fixed Pricing Real? Or Just a Marketing Line?
It’s real at Morton’s, and it’s the reason a lot of Brooklyn families call us after a bad experience with another company. The pattern we hear is always the same: someone quoted $199 on the phone, the crew arrived and “discovered” that the system needed hundreds more in add-ons, and the final bill landed somewhere north of $800.
We do it differently because Paul Adeyemi has been running Morton’s in Brooklyn since 2005 and the company’s reputation has always been built on the written quote. The price we put in writing is the price on the invoice. If we find something mid-job that genuinely changes the scope, like a disconnected duct behind a wall, we stop, explain it, and give you a new written number before continuing. You always approve the work before the work happens.
How Often Should Brooklyn Homes Get Air Ducts Cleaned?
Most Brooklyn homes with central HVAC benefit from a cleaning every 3 to 5 years. Homes with multiple pets, a recent renovation, or a family member with dust allergies often do better every 2 to 3 years. If you’ve just finished a gut renovation in Cobble Hill or had plaster work done in a prewar apartment, get the ducts cleaned once before you move furniture back in. Construction dust settles in ductwork and recirculates for months otherwise.
If you can’t remember the last time it was done, the system probably tells you when it’s time. Visible dust on the registers, a musty smell when the heat kicks on, or family members waking up congested whenever the AC runs are all signs. You don’t need to panic about any of it. You just need a professional cleaning with a written price.
Air Duct Cleaning vs. Dryer Vent Cleaning: What’s the Difference?
The two services get lumped together in conversation, but they’re different jobs with different tools and different price tags.
Air duct cleaning covers the HVAC ductwork: supply and return runs, the plenum, the blower compartment, and all the registers. Dryer vent cleaning is a separate line, focused on the pipe that carries hot, lint-filled air from your dryer to the outside. A clogged dryer vent is a genuine fire risk, and Brooklyn buildings with long vent runs through walls and floors are the ones that need it most.
Morton’s offers both, and bundling them saves money. But you can absolutely book just one or the other. We’ll quote each separately so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
FAQs – Air Duct Cleaning Cost
How much does air duct cleaning cost in Brooklyn in 2026?
Most Brooklyn homes pay between $350 and $650 for a full air duct cleaning in 2026, with the typical job landing around $450 to $550-see our full breakdown of how much air duct cleaning costs in Brooklyn, NY. Larger homes, older buildings, and systems with heavy pet hair or long-neglected ductwork can run $700 to $1,000. Call (607) 536-9605 for a free written estimate based on your exact vent count.
Is it cheaper to clean air ducts myself?
Buying or renting DIY duct cleaning equipment costs $100 to $300, but the equipment can’t reach the full length of the duct runs, and you won’t have the negative-pressure extraction that actually removes debris from the system. What most DIY attempts do is loosen dust without removing it, which just pushes debris toward the registers. For the $350 to $650 a professional cleaning costs in Brooklyn-roughly what you’d pay for air duct cleaning in New York, NY-you’re paying for equipment, extraction, and someone who has opened Brooklyn ductwork since 2005.
How much does dryer vent cleaning cost in Brooklyn?
Dryer vent cleaning in Brooklyn typically costs $125 to $225 as a standalone service, and less when bundled with air duct cleaning. Long vent runs in older buildings can push toward the upper end. A phone call to (607) 536-9605 with a rough idea of your vent run length gets you a written number before anything starts.
Can you come today for air duct cleaning in Brooklyn?
Same-day and next-day air duct cleaning near you in Brooklyn, NY is available in Park Slope, Bed-Stuy, Williamsburg, Bay Ridge, and Crown Heights. A live person answers the phone 24/7, so you can call (607) 536-9605 at any hour and get a real person on the line, not a voicemail. We’ll tell you what slots are open and confirm the written price before dispatching a crew.
How long does air duct cleaning take?
A standard single-family home in Brooklyn takes 3 to 6 hours from setup to final clean-up. Larger homes, multi-zone systems, or severely clogged ducts can take a full day. Morton’s works around nap schedules and pet routines, and we don’t rush the job to squeeze in a second appointment. The written quote includes the projected time window.
Does air duct cleaning remove pet hair and dander?
Yes, mechanical agitation with Rotobrush or Nikro equipment pulled through the return side of the system removes pet hair, dander, and the fine dust that settles in ducts. Homes with shedding dogs or multiple cats in Brooklyn often need an extra extraction pass, which we quote up front. Pet-safe product choices are available for any post-cleaning treatments, and the animals can stay in the apartment during the visit.
Do you charge extra for older buildings in Brooklyn?
We don’t charge an “old building” surcharge, but prewar buildings in neighborhoods like Bed-Stuy, Crown Heights, and Ditmas Park often have ductwork that hasn’t been cleaned in decades. More buildup means more time on the job, and the quote reflects that honestly. You’ll know the full number from the written estimate before any work starts. Call (607) 536-9605 to get yours.
