Air Duct Cleaning Cost Breakdown (2026)
Here is exactly what families in Alpharetta are paying in 2026. We keep this pricing honest and transparent because a written quote before any work begins is standard on every Morton’s visit.
| Service | Typical Price Range | What’s Included |
|---|---|---|
| Basic vent and register clean | $200-$300 | Supply and return vent covers removed and cleaned, visible dust cleared from vent openings |
| Single HVAC system (up to 10 vents) | $350-$450 | Full duct interior cleaning with Rotobrush or Nikro equipment, all vents and registers, main trunk lines |
| Two-zone or larger home (11-15 vents) | $450-$600 | Full system clean for homes with a second floor or split HVAC systems, includes all branch lines |
| Large home (16+ vents, 3,500+ sq ft) | $550-$850 | Complete multi-zone cleaning, longer access runs, all return and supply lines |
| Dryer vent cleaning add-on | $75-$150 | Removes lint from dryer transition hose, interior vent line, and exterior termination point |
| Sanitizing fog treatment add-on | $75-$200 | Antimicrobial fog applied to interior duct surfaces after cleaning, using pet-safe products where available |
Pricing shifts with the house itself, not with the mood of the technician. A ranch home near downtown Alpharetta with one HVAC unit and eight vents sits on the low end. A 4,000-square-foot home in Windward or Milton with three zones, a finished basement, and duct runs that weave through attic space sits at the top. If your furnace filter hasn’t been changed in a while, or if you have two golden retrievers who shed year-round, expect a bit more time and a slightly higher number.
What Affects Air Duct Cleaning Pricing in Alpharetta
Here are the factors that move the price most in this area.
- Number of HVAC systems and zones. Homes in Alpharetta’s older neighborhoods, like Crabapple or the streets around Wills Park, may still run a single system. Newer builds in Halcyon or Avalon often have two or three separate systems, which adds vents, trunk lines, and time.
- Home size and vent count. More vents means more cleaning work. A 2,200-square-foot craftsman in the Historic Downtown district may have eight vents. A 5,000-square-foot brick traditional in the Country Club of the South could have twenty-two.
- Access to ductwork. If attic access is tight, or if trunk lines run through crawl spaces with low clearance, the job takes longer. Georgia red clay dust from crawl spaces adds a layer of time on top of the standard clean.
- Pet hair and buildup severity. Alpharetta families with multiple dogs, cats, or a long-haired breed will see more fur inside return ducts. Moderate hair adds twenty to thirty minutes to a full clean.
- Age of the home and last cleaning date. If a home built in the 1990s or early 2000s near Kimball Bridge Road has never been cleaned, that first visit costs more than a repeat maintenance clean done every three to five years.
- Add-on services. Dryer vent cleaning, sanitizing fog, and replacements of heavily damaged vent covers are separate line items, always shown on the written quote before work starts.
How Often Should You Clean Air Ducts in Alpharetta?
Most Alpharetta homes should have air ducts cleaned every three to five years. Homes with pets, kids, or allergy sensitivities in the household should lean closer to every two to three years. Our recommendation for families with shedding dogs and cats: schedule a duct cleaning and a dryer vent cleaning together, since both jobs are quick and pairing them saves money versus booking separately.

How to Save on Air Duct Cleaning
Air duct cleaning isn’t a place to chase the lowest bid, but there are honest ways to keep the number down without cutting corners.
- Book duct and dryer vent cleaning together. Adding dryer vent cleaning to a duct visit runs $75-$150, far less than scheduling it alone down the road.
- Change your furnace filter before you call. A fresh filter means less airborne debris recirculating into the ducts between visits. It won’t cut the cleaning price, but it keeps the system cleaner longer between services.
- Get a written quote up front. You can’t compare prices without them. Ask any Alpharetta contractor to put the number in writing before equipment enters the house. We do this automatically, every time, no exceptions.
- Avoid add-ons you don’t need. A sanitizing fog is valuable if you’ve had a humidity issue or a smoker in the home. If your ducts are just dusty, a full mechanical clean is enough.

What a Morton’s Air Duct Cleaning Visit Looks Like
Here’s how a Morton’s job goes, step by step, so you know what to expect before the crew arrives.
- You call and get a real person. Our office answers 24/7. You describe your home, the number of vents and zones, whether you have pets, and anything unusual like recent renovation dust or a musty smell. We give you a ballpark over the phone and schedule a visit.
- Written price before anything starts. When the technician arrives, they walk the system and confirm the details. Then they hand you a written quote. That number doesn’t change. If they find something unexpected, they stop and show you before doing anything extra.
- Floor and furniture protection goes down first. Shoe covers go on before boots cross the threshold. Drop cloths protect floors and furniture. If you have a toddler napping, we work around the schedule. Our equipment runs on wheels and hoses, not thundering through hallways.
- The clean itself. We run Rotobrush and Nikro professional-grade cleaning equipment through each vent, trunk line, and return. These are industrial systems designed for deep cleaning, not the rental units from a hardware store. Honeywell and Aprilaire filtration components are inspected as part of the job where present.
- Before and after photos. Every job ends with a photo of the clean-up. Visual proof the house is left better than we found it, not just a promise.
- The 365-Day Done Right Promise. If anything isn’t right, you call us and we make it right. That’s not a warranty buried in fine print. It’s stamped on every job.
This is the Cedarwell Care Promise in action. Morton’s Air Duct Cleaning is part of the Cedarwell family of independently owned companies, and every technician works to the same C.A.R.E. values: courteous, accountable, respectful, and efficient. Paul Adeyemi leads the Morton’s team here in Alpharetta, and those values show up in shoe covers and a written price as much as in the quality of the clean itself.
Is Air Duct Cleaning Worth the Cost in Alpharetta?
For most families, yes. The biggest reason isn’t a dramatic health claim; it’s simpler than that. Cleaner ducts mean less dust landing back on your floors and furniture after the HVAC runs. Alpharetta summers push air conditioners from May through September, and fall pollen season coats every outdoor surface in a yellow-green film. All of that air cycles through the same set of ducts over and over. A clean system simply puts less dust back into the home.
Families with kids, pets, or anyone with seasonal allergies tend to notice the difference most. If you vacuum twice a week and still see fine dust on nightstands and bookshelves within a day, the ducts are one of the places that dust is coming from.

FAQ: Air Duct Cleaning Cost in Alpharetta
How much does air duct cleaning cost in Alpharetta GA?
Commercial Duct Cleaning aside, residential air duct cleaning in Alpharetta Ga costs $350-$650 for a typical single-family home with one or two HVAC systems. Smaller condos and townhomes fall between $200-$350, while large homes with three or more zones run $550-$850. Call (762) 263-0408 for a free exact quote before any work starts.
Is it cheaper to clean air ducts or replace them?
Cleaning is always far cheaper. A full duct cleaning in Alpharetta runs $350-$650, while replacing ductwork can cost $3,000-$7,000 or more depending on access and home size. Duct replacement is only needed when ducts are physically damaged, collapsed, or heavily contaminated with mold that cannot be removed. We’ll show you what’s actually going on before recommending anything.
How long does air duct cleaning take?
Most air duct cleaning jobs in Alpharetta take two to four hours for a single-family home. Larger homes with multiple zones take longer, usually four to six hours. Our crews work through the home methodically, replacing vent covers and cleaning up as they go. You can call (762) 263-0408 to schedule around nap times and school pickup.
Can you clean air ducts the same day in Alpharetta?
Often yes. Our scheduling team confirms availability when you call. If we have a technician open, same-day service in Alpharetta is possible, especially for single-system homes. Call (762) 263-0408 and ask what’s available today.
Is a $99 whole-house air duct cleaning deal too good to be true?
Yes, and almost always it’s a bait-and-switch. Legitimate full-system air duct cleaning in Alpharetta costs $350 or more. Offers at $99 or $199 typically only cover a quick vent wiping or exist to get a crew inside before upselling hundreds of dollars in add-ons. A written quote for $450 from a company that shows up with Rotobrush or Nikro equipment is worth more than a $99 coupon from a company that surprises you at the door.
Does air duct cleaning help with pet hair and dander in Alpharetta homes?
Yes, it removes accumulated pet hair and dander from duct interiors, especially in return air paths where fur gets pulled in from floors. Homes with two or more shedding pets should expect a slightly higher price due to the extra cleaning time. We use pet-safe products where available and work quietly if your dog is nervous about equipment noise.
