Why move-in duct cleaning is common
When you buy a resale home, you usually do not know the last time the supply ducts, return ducts, registers or furnace area were cleaned. Pet hair, renovation debris and odours from previous occupants can remain inside accessible parts of the duct system.
What to check before calling
Look inside return vents with a flashlight, check the furnace filter, notice visible dust around registers and think about recent drywall, flooring or basement work. These details help with a better quote.
Best timing
If possible, book duct cleaning before furniture blocks vents. Ajax, Pickering, Whitby and Oshawa homeowners often request service before fully unpacking.
