Georgetown, King County
Air duct cleaning for a Georgetown house starts at $525. That price fits a forced-air furnace in a compact home with only a few supply grilles and a single return. Extra grilles, a second heating unit, ducts snaking through a cramped crawl space, or drywall dust from a renovation add hours and raise the figure. We tally the grilles and trace the duct route under the floor before naming a number.

Most historic houses in Georgetown are small, according to the city's 2014 survey: one story, four or five rooms, many of them reworked over the decades with new windows, new siding and, around the Second World War, a general modernization. Each remodel is a chance for sawdust, plaster dust or drywall grit to fall into floor registers and settle in the ducts below. In a small house the duct runs are short, which keeps the work quick, but the crawl spaces underneath can be tight, and that is where most of the hours go.
Every air duct cleaning we do in Georgetown includes:
Smoke coming back into the room, or a smell that won't go? Book the inspection first.
Book nowWe are careful about what duct cleaning can and cannot do. It removes settled dust, construction debris, pet hair and the occasional lost toy from the ducts and registers. It does not filter the air coming into the house. In the Duwamish Valley, where the Clean Air Agency traces most fine particles to fossil fuel burned by vehicles, trucks, trains, ships and industry, the furnace filter is what does that work. For wildfire smoke episodes the agency suggests a filter rated MERV-13 or higher, so we check that your filter slot fits one and that air is not slipping around it.
We locate every register and return, find the furnace and look at the duct route under the house.
Grilles are masked and a high-volume collector attached to the trunk, so loosened dust is pulled toward it instead of into the rooms.
Brushes or air whips loosen the dust in every duct, and the vacuum pulls it out.
Registers and grilles are washed, the returns cleaned, and everything refitted.
We confirm the filter sits tight in its slot and send the duct photos from the start and the end of the job.

Once the Clean Air Agency declares a ban, wood fires go out and the furnace heats the whole house. Burning wood anyway is allowed only for households holding a no-other-adequate-heat exemption they applied for in advance. A steep heating bill is not grounds for one, a broken furnace does not earn one automatically, and the agency defines adequate heat as a system that keeps each occupied room at 70°F, read three feet up from the floor.
In the Duwamish Valley the agency's 2016 overview counts residential wood smoke among the fine-particle sources and says winter bans help keep that share down. For a household that mostly heats with a forced-air system, ban days are simply the days the ductwork does all of the work. Clean ducts, a properly fitted filter and a furnace that has been serviced are what make those days comfortable.
Georgetown is a Duwamish valley neighborhood of Seattle that ran its own city government from 1904 to 1910, with small one-story workers' houses from the boom years of 1890 to 1916, many of them remodeled around World War II.

Not directly. It removes what has settled in the ducts. Keeping outside particles from circulating is the furnace filter's job, which is why we check the filter fit on every visit.
Usually a few hours. Tight crawl spaces and the number of registers decide most of the time.
Those systems have no ducts to clean. Duct cleaning applies to forced-air furnaces and heat pumps with ductwork.
No. We price ducts by counting grilles and book the job on its own. The $99 plus tax visit applies to chimney diagnostics.
