This is one of the common questions out on the internet right today pertaining to air duct cleaning. Because of the low price, it only stands to reason that homeowners need to proceed with caution. After all, how can trained professionals arrive at your house, anywhere in the Twin Cities, in a well equipped tuck, work for 45 minutes to a couple hours and leave with only $99, right?
I know it sounds too good to be true but, let me explain. First, I assume you have already read about duct cleaning on this blog. If not, here are a few posts you might want to read first:

Whenever I am talking with customers that call in with questions about duct cleaning or to schedule a cleaning service I always ask them how long it’s been since they had their duct work cleaned. If they say last year, I don’t even bother asking them anymore questions. If they called in wanting the $99 deal that’s what I would recommend anyway.
If, on the other hand, they answer that it has been several years or perhaps never, I advise them to go with the rotobrush method. Here’s why; I am sure you have all seen the caked on grime that accumulates behind the refrigerator or stove, right. That “crud” is very similar to what adheres to the inside walls of your air ductwork. Imagine pulling the kitchen stove out and trying to simply vacuum it up. We all know that brushing or scrubbing is necessary.
The same holds true with duct cleaning. If it was just cleaned with a rotobrush last year, the $99 duct cleaning will most likely be adequate. But, if it has been a few years, I would strongly recommend the rotobrush method.
If you are ready to get on the scheule for either the rotorush method or the $99 air-sweep, give us a call at 612-412-1867, we would love the opportunity to showcase our work for you.
Have you recently purchased a foreclosed home?
Whether you have just bought a foreclosed home or are considering buying one, air duct cleaning should be a part of your home clean-up strategy. Since you most likely don’t know much about the previous homeowners, you may want to play it safe and opt for a thorough duct cleaning.
We suggest the Roto-Brush for foreclosed house clean-up.
While you might be able to get by with a simple air sweep duct cleaning, we encourage yu to play it safe and spend the extra $100 or so and have your air ducts rotobrushed. This is the most thorough method and will remove much more of the contaminants from the heating and air conditioning system.
Clean the ducts BEFORE moving in to a foreclosed home.
Why wait? Be on the safe side and schedule duct cleaning before you move into a foreclosed home. With most professional air vent cleanng companies you should be able to have your air ducts cleaned within 1-2 days. At Twin City Duct Cleaning we are more than willing to meet you at the house at your convenience. If you live in the St. Paul, Minneapolis, MN area including all of the Twin Cities, call us for all the details: 612-412-1867. And congratulations on the purchasee of your new foreclosed home!
A Clean Dryer Vent Saves Money and Helps Prevent House Fires
It’s been more than two hours and your clothes still are damp. If this sounds familiar, it could be time for you to have your dryer vent cleaned. If you are sure that your clothes dryer is warming up (maybe even too hot) and your clothes are tumbling, you may have a lint filled, plugged-up dryer duct. Time to call in the professional at Twin Cities Duct Cleaning.

Dryer Vent Cleaning Prices
The cost of dryer vent cleaning varies widely from one company to the next. Another point to consider is who is doing the work. An appliance repair technician is considerably more expensive than a professional dryer vent cleaning company like Twin Cities Duct Cleaning. Dryer vent cleaning prices seem to vary from $65 when included with another service already being performed at your home (duct cleaning for example), to $199 if a special trip is made by a repaiman. Companies will often charge more for dryer vents which are seriously plugged or have long runs. Fore example, a dryer vent which is vented to the other side of the house, two stories up and out through the roof will be charged more. That said, it’s quite rare when we see that. Most are pretty straight forward and are charged the quoted rate.
Look for a company that will give you a guaranteed quote on dryer vent cleaning. If the duct cleaning company needs to come out to do an inspection and give a quote, expect to pay a lot more. At DuctCleaningTwinCities.com the price is always guaranteed; $65 when included with air duct cleaning, or $99 for dryer vent cleaning only. Remember, the same equipment which is used for duct cleaning is also used to clean dryer vents, so there is minimal setup required if we are alrady doing a duct cleaning or furnace cleaning.
Dryer Vent Cleaning Benefits:
- Faster drying times – the damp air is vented outdoors instead of recirculating within the tumble chamber.
- A clean clothes dryer vent consumes less energy – The longer it takes to dry your clothes, the more energy you use. Most homeowners realize more than enough energy savings in just the first 3 months to pay for the service call!
- House fire hazard avoided – the lint which has built-up over time in the heating chamber and dryer vent is removed, eliminating spontaneous combustion due to excessive heat.
