Pricing By Brothers Furnace & Duct Cleaning Team · · 7 min read
⚡ Quick answer

At Brothers Furnace & Duct Cleaning, a furnace cleaning with 10 vents is $111, and the whole-home Complete Care package with unlimited vents is $249 (all CAD, standard residential systems). Price mainly depends on the number of vents, how many furnaces you have, home size and how much buildup is in the system. See all packages and inclusions.

Key takeaways

  • Two fixed packages: $111 (furnace + 10 vents) and $249 (Complete Care: unlimited vents, dryer cleaning, hot water tank flush-out and bathroom exhaust vents).
  • Extra vents on the $111 package are $6.99 each — at around 30 vents or more, the $249 unlimited Complete Care package is the better deal.
  • Oversized homes, a second furnace or heavy post-renovation buildup can add to the price. Ask for the total before work starts.
  • The cheapest advertised price is rarely the final price. Compare what is included, not the headline number.

What changes the price of a duct cleaning?

Every duct system is different, so these are the factors that move a quote up or down:

  • Number of vents. The biggest factor. A typical Calgary detached home has 15–30 supply and return vents. That is why we offer an unlimited-vent package.
  • Number of furnaces. Larger homes and many infills have two furnaces. Each furnace has its own blower and trunk lines to clean.
  • Home size and layout. Long runs, finished basements with hard-to-reach returns, and bungalows with very long trunk lines take more time.
  • How dirty the system is. Drywall dust after a renovation, a new build that has never been cleaned, years of pet hair or a previous owner who never changed the filter all add time.
  • Add-ons. Dryer vent cleaning, hot water tank flush-out and bathroom exhaust vents are bundled into our larger packages, so you don't pay for them separately.

Which package should you pick?

A simple rule of thumb: count your vents (floor and wall registers plus the big return grilles).

  • Up to about 15 vents (most condos and townhomes): the $111 Furnace & Vent Cleaning is the best value. Five extra vents add only about $35.
  • Around 30 vents or more: 10 vents + 20 extra at $6.99 comes to about $251, so Complete Care ($249) with unlimited vents is cheaper and also includes the dryer, hot water tank flush-out and bathroom exhaust vents.
  • Pets, allergies, a recent renovation or a bathroom fan that barely pulls air: go with Complete Care ($249) whatever your vent count.

How to compare duct cleaning quotes (and avoid the "$79 special")

Ads with very low prices are common in Calgary every fall. A low starting price is not always a scam, but the final bill often looks very different. Before you book anyone, ask these five questions:

  1. "What is the all-in price for my home?" Give them your vent count and number of furnaces, and ask for one number.
  2. "Are the main trunk lines included?" The trunk lines carry most of the dust. A job that only vacuums the registers misses most of it.
  3. "Is the furnace cleaned, or just the ducts?" The blower compartment is where dust goes through the system, again and again.
  4. "Do you brush the ducts, or only vacuum?" Brushing breaks up buildup stuck to the duct walls so the vacuum can pull it out.
  5. "Will you show me the before and after?" A good technician will walk you through what they cleaned. Our customers mention this in our reviews.

5 ways to save on furnace and duct cleaning

  • Book the monthly offer. Our current packages are discounted from regular pricing ($139 → $111, $299 → $249).
  • Bundle. Doing the dryer vent, hot water tank flush and bathroom vents in the same visit costs less than booking them separately.
  • Change your filter every 1–3 months. A clean filter keeps your ducts cleaner for longer, so you can wait longer between cleanings.
  • Book before the rush. Late September to November is the busiest time of year. Spring and early summer usually have more flexible times.
  • Clean after renovations, not during. Wait until the drywall sanding is finished, or you will pay to clean the same dust twice.
