Tell us the opening count and how many HVAC units.
Dryer vents are the core job. Most properties add common area ducts, exhaust fans or the HVAC equipment to a dryer vent visit because we are already on site. Duct work can also be booked on its own, subject to the same $500 visit minimum.
Duct and HVAC rates
Air duct cleaning, commercial
| Item | Rate |
|---|---|
| Per supply opening or return | $65 |
| Sanitizing fogging, per HVAC unit | $160 |
| Exhaust fans, each | $50 |
Commercial duct work is not discounted. No volume break and no promo rate. Ceiling grid, access panels, tenants in the space and after-hours scheduling make it a harder job than it looks from the floor, and $65 an opening is the price of doing it properly.
Count the supply registers and returns in the space. That is your number. No square footage math and no per-system pricing, which means three systems in a clubhouse cost the same as one if the opening count is the same.
HVAC equipment cleaning
| Item | Rate |
|---|---|
| Air handler and coils | $350 each |
| Condenser and coils, includes a full wash | $200 each |
This is the equipment itself rather than the ductwork: the evaporator coil, the blower assembly and the cabinet, plus the outdoor condenser. Different service from duct cleaning and frequently the one that actually matters when a system is running long cycles in August.
How to count openings
Every supply register, the ones blowing air, is one opening. Every return grille, the ones pulling air back, is one opening. Walk the space, count both, and multiply by $65.
The count is the same whether those openings sit on one system or three. A clubhouse with 18 supplies and 4 returns is 22 openings, which is $1,430, however the equipment behind the ceiling is arranged.
What the other line items are
Sanitizing fogging, $160 per HVAC unit
An optional treatment run through the system after the ducts are cleaned. It is priced per HVAC unit because the whole system gets treated, not each opening.
Exhaust fans, $50 each
Restroom, locker room, laundry room and break room exhaust fans. The housing, the fan and the grille. They clog with the same dust and lint as everything else and almost never get looked at.
Air handler and coils, $350 each
The indoor equipment itself: evaporator coil, blower assembly and cabinet. Often the thing that actually matters when a system is running long cycles in August, because a dirty coil restricts airflow no matter how clean the ducts are.
Condenser and coils, $200 each, full wash included
The outdoor unit. Dust storms and the debris after a monsoon pack the fins, and a condenser sitting near a dryer vent termination collects lint too. The full wash is included in the $200.
A worked example
A clubhouse and leasing office on two systems. 18 supplies and 4 returns is 22 openings at $65, $1,430. Fogging both systems at $160 each adds $320. Three restroom exhaust fans at $50 add $150. That is $1,900.
Add both air handlers at $350 and both condensers at $200 and the visit comes to $3,000. Every line is a count times a published rate.
Why commercial duct work is not discounted
Commercial spaces mean ceiling grid, access panels, occupied offices and frequently after-hours work. That is a harder job than it looks from the floor, and a discount on it would mean cutting a corner somewhere. So there is one rate, $65 an opening, at any count.
What we do not do, so nobody wastes a morning
We clean individual systems, not large commercial equipment.
That means the split systems and package units you find serving apartments, offices, clubhouses, leasing centers and small retail. Residential-scale equipment, one system per space, the kind that sits on a pad or a small roof curb.
What we do not touch is the big stuff. Large rooftop package units, built-up commercial air handlers, chillers, industrial make-up air, anything with a mechanical room and a maintenance contract attached. That is a different trade with different equipment and different certifications, and we are not it.
If your property is 200 apartments with individual systems, that is squarely our work. If it is a 40,000 square foot warehouse on three rooftop units, call a commercial mechanical contractor. We will say so on the phone rather than after we show up.
We would rather lose the call than take a job we should not be on.
Add it to a dryer vent visit
On an apartment property the common areas and the dryer vents are usually done on the same visit. One trip, one invoice, one record, and the $500 visit minimum is shared across both. Dryer vent pricing with a combined worked example.
Questions
How do I count openings?
Every supply register, the ones blowing air, and every return grille, the ones pulling it, counts as one opening. Add them up across the space and multiply by $65.
Is there a volume discount?
No. Commercial duct work is $65 an opening at any count. The rate is the rate.
Is fogging required?
No. It is an optional sanitizing treatment run through the system after cleaning, $160 per HVAC unit. Plenty of properties skip it.
Do you clean large rooftop units?
No. Individual systems only: split systems and small package units. Large rooftop package units, built-up air handlers, chillers and industrial make-up air are a different trade, and we will say so on the phone.
Can you work after hours?
Yes, and in offices, gyms and leasing centers it is often the only sensible option. Tell us the window and we schedule to it.
Is there a minimum?
$500 per commercial visit, which duct work on its own usually clears. Pair it with dryer vents and it is one visit and one invoice.
