Quick answer: Desert Jade Air Conditioning & Heating cleans the supply and return ductwork in Phoenix, Glendale and Peoria homes, and the work is done by our own licensed HVAC technicians rather than a cleaning crew. A whole-home duct cleaning for a single-system house takes about 2 to 4 hours and costs $499 to $799, confirmed in writing before we start.

Most Phoenix ductwork runs through the attic, where summer temperatures pass 140 degrees and the joints in older duct runs loosen and leak. Every leak on the return side pulls attic dust and insulation fibers into the system, and the supply side pushes it back into your rooms.
Add monsoon dust storms, desert pollen, pet hair, and the drywall dust left behind by a remodel, and a Phoenix home can build up more debris in five years than a home in a milder climate does in ten. If you have moved into a house and do not know its history, or you notice dust on the registers within days of wiping them, the ducts are usually the reason.
Every job follows the same steps, and the technician walks you through what was found before and after.
What you will not get from us: a “free inspection” that turns into a mold scare, per-vent charges added after we arrive, or a main trunk line that turns out to be “not included”. The price we quote is the price you pay unless you choose to add something.
A straight answer on whether you need it: the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency says duct cleaning has not been shown to prevent health problems by itself, and recommends it when there is visible debris, mold, or evidence of pests in the ducts.
We agree, and we will tell you if yours do not need it. The National Air Duct Cleaners Association suggests an inspection every two years and a cleaning every three to five, sooner in a dusty climate like ours.

About the $49 duct cleaning ads: If you have searched for duct cleaning in Phoenix you have seen them: a “whole house” special for $49 or $99. The way those jobs usually go is that the crew arrives, finds “mold” or “the main line is extra“, counts your vents and adds a charge for each one, and the bill ends up several times the advertised price. The Phoenix threads on Reddit about duct cleaning are mostly homeowners asking who to trust after one of these visits. Our price is quoted up front, in writing, for the whole job. For a single-system home that is $499 to $799.
Pair it with a tune-up. If you are already having the ducts cleaned, a $79 AC tune-up on the same visit checks the system that pushes air through them. Book both together and save $99. Desert Jade Comfort Care Plan members receive their standard 10 percent discount on duct cleaning. Financing through Wisetack and Hearth is available on larger jobs.
Cleaning removes what is inside the ducts. Sealing and repair fix the ducts themselves: disconnected joints, crushed flex duct, runs that have come loose from the register boot. In a Phoenix attic the second problem is at least as common as the first, and it costs more than dirt does.
ENERGY STAR estimates that a typical home loses 20 to 30 percent of the air moving through its ducts to leaks and poor connections, which is cooling you paid for going into the attic. Because our technicians are HVAC contractors and not a cleaning service, the inspection covers both. If we find a disconnected or crushed run we show you the photo and quote the repair, sealing or replacement separately.
A dryer vent packed with lint makes the dryer run longer and hotter, and lint buildup is the leading cause of dryer fires.
Signs yours needs cleaning: clothes take two cycles to dry, the dryer or the laundry room is hot to the touch, lint collects behind the dryer or at the outside hood, or it has been more than a year. We clear the full run from the dryer to the exterior hood.
Added to a duct cleaning visit it is free; on its own, it costs $99.
Arizona ROC #355428. Our technicians understand the whole system, so flex duct, dampers and coil connections are handled correctly and nothing is left disconnected in the attic.

A whole-home duct cleaning from Desert Jade costs $499 to $799 for a single-system home and $998 to $1,598 for two systems, quoted in writing before work starts. The $49 and $99 specials you see advertised are rarely the final bill; ask any company to put the whole-job price in writing.
A single-system home takes about 2 to 4 hours, and a two-system home most of a day. The technician inspects first, seals and covers the work area, cleans every run and the trunk lines, reinstalls the registers and walks you through the before-and-after photos.
The National Air Duct Cleaners Association suggests every three to five years. In Phoenix we lean toward the shorter end because of attic dust and monsoon storms, and sooner after a remodel, a pest problem, or when you move into a house with an unknown history.
It removes the dust, pet hair and debris sitting in the ducts, so less of it recirculates. The EPA notes it has not been proven to prevent health problems on its own; a clean filter, sealed ducts and a well-maintained system matter at least as much. If your ducts are clean, we will tell you.
Not as advertised. Those prices usually cover one vent or a surface wipe, and the crew adds charges on site: per vent, for the trunk line, for "mold treatment". The Better Business Bureau and the Phoenix Reddit threads are full of these stories. Get the total price in writing before anyone starts.
Not when it is done by HVAC technicians. Flex duct tears if it is brushed too hard, and rigid duct joints can be knocked loose. Our technicians inspect first, choose the tools to match the duct type, and check every connection before they leave.
Yes. We clear the full vent run from the dryer to the outside hood, and most homeowners add it to a duct cleaning visit. A clogged dryer vent is the most common cause of dryer fires and of a dryer that takes two cycles to dry a load.
