First question: do you have ducts? Census estimates show electricity as the main heat in 61.1% of Seattle's occupied homes, and much electric heat (baseboards, wall heaters, ductless heat pumps) uses none. Ducts belong to forced-air furnaces and central heat pumps. Fuel oil remains the main heat in 8.0% of occupied homes in the Census ZIP code area around Arbor Heights, the highest share among the peninsula's areas, though that area also reaches past the city limit. Older furnaces often sit on duct systems that have not been opened in a long time. We clean those systems under negative pressure, so that what is loosened leaves the house instead of the registers.
Indoor air has been designed for on the peninsula before. When the Seattle Housing Authority rebuilt High Point, its 1,529 on-site units included 60 'Breathe-Easy' homes designed to reduce asthma triggers. Most houses were not built with that aim, and in one with a forced-air furnace the return ducts running through a crawlspace or basement are a common place for dust and damp to get in. Our inspection starts there.
Smoke has made indoor air a practical topic. When smoke settles in, the Puget Sound Clean Air Agency suggests a HEPA filter, a furnace filter of MERV-13 or higher strapped to a box fan, one room set aside as the clean room, and closing the fresh-air intake on an air conditioner. A forced-air system can help or hurt in those weeks: with a good filter and clean returns it circulates filtered air; with a clogged filter and dusty ducts it redistributes what is already there. Duct cleaning is one part of that, and the filter is the larger part.
Candor matters with this service, because it is often oversold. Cleaning is worthwhile when there is visible debris or construction dust in the ducts, signs of rodents or insects, mold growth on hard duct surfaces, or dust blowing from the registers. It is not a routine annual need, and it does not cure a damp crawlspace or a leaking duct. If we find disconnected runs, crushed flex duct or wet insulation under the house, we photograph them, because those are repairs to make before any cleaning.
How it works
If the ducts are clean, we say so. Not every system needs this.
Registers are covered and the collector is attached, putting the whole system under suction.
Starting at the register, every run is agitated toward the trunk.
Blower, return drop and plenum are vacuumed.
Duct interiors photographed at the start and again at the end.

For ducts our price is from $535. How many registers there are, how large the house is and how reachable the trunk lines are set the figure, which we confirm after seeing the system.
Only when an inspection shows a reason: debris, pests, mold on hard surfaces, or dusty construction. Changing the filter on schedule does more for most homes than frequent cleaning.
No. Those systems have no ducts. Mini-split heads have washable filters and occasionally need a coil cleaning, which is a different service from this one.
Not as a routine. We remove debris mechanically. If mold is found on duct surfaces, the moisture source has to be fixed first, and we talk through the options with you case by case.
Yes, and the two are often paired. The dryer vent is a separate exhaust with its own tools, priced apart at $105–$295.
