1. What is HVAC Cleaning?

HVAC cleaning involves thorough cleaning of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems to remove dust, debris, and contaminants. Regular cleaning improves efficiency, air quality, and system longevity.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator estimates costs based on:

• System type (central, ductless, or furnace only)
• System size (tons for central, units for ductless)
• Current condition (normal, heavy buildup, or mold present)
• Geographic location (urban, suburban, or rural)

Explanation: Prices vary significantly based on these factors, with more complex systems and challenging conditions costing more to clean properly.

3. Importance of Regular HVAC Cleaning

Details: Regular HVAC cleaning improves indoor air quality, increases system efficiency reducing energy costs, extends equipment lifespan, and can help prevent costly repairs.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Select your system type, enter the appropriate size measurement, indicate the current condition, and select your location area for the most accurate estimate.
