There is a fairly wide range of pricing that you can find while shopping for air duct cleaning in the Toronto area.
For an average, 1500 square foot home, our prices would be somewhere in the middle of the range in pricing. We charge a fair price for our quality workmanship and our pricing is reasonable.
We charge a base price of $249.00 which includes the first ten air vents, whether they are supply or return air vents, and then each additional air vent after that is $8.00 each.
The price includes as many "hookups" as is required to do the job, and also includes the cleaning of all the air handling parts of your furnace. Those include the furnace fan, the air conditioning coil, all the compartments and the air filter. This provides a complete job, and there are no extra or hidden fees.
So for that average, 1,500 square foot home our price would be about $289.00 based on 15 air vents.
Pricing in Toronto ranges from a $99.00 "whole house special" (which is really a scam) to $69.00 per hookup plus $6.00 per vent (another scam) to well over $500 for that same job.
The whole house special "deals" rarely if ever include quality workmanship or even the use of proper duct cleaning equipment, and will ALWAYS have additional charges. If you add up all the extra charges then you're already well above our honest price.
The ones with the $69.00 or less per "hookup fee" is also a scam because that hookup fee applies as many times as they can make it. Every time they cut a hole into your duct system to attach the vacuum hose is one more time they charge you a hookup fee. Every home has as least one main supply and one main cold air duct, so there's two hookup fees already. Some homes require five or six hookups just because of the configuration of their duct system, so if you do the math, these people are charging much more than we do.
But it all sounds cheaper on the phone, and since most people shop by price only without asking for any details, most of our competition prey on people's ignorance about the industry. Their pricing methods are often deceptive on purpose.
At City Duct Cleaning we have been serving the Toronto area since 1987 and we are a very reputable, award-winning company in our industry. We treat all our customers with honesty and respect and we always tell it like it is. There should be more companies out there who share our old-fashioned values in today's world, but unfortunately there is not. That's part of the reason why we have such a high rate of repeat customers.
