Air Duct Cleaning in Boise, ID — Done The Right Way.
Boise homes run from 1910 North End bungalows to brand-new builds in Harris Ranch, and almost none of them have had the ductwork opened. We clean the complete system — every supply and return, the main trunks, the plenums and the furnace coil — then sanitize it and show you the inside on camera. Truck-mounted equipment, one price by the square foot, nothing added once we are in your house. Same crew and same price in Meridian, Eagle, Star, Nampa and every community between.
Why Boise Homes Collect More Dust Than You Think
Boise is not one kind of house. The North End and the East End have basement furnaces converted from gravity to forced air, with rigid metal trunks that have outlived three or four furnaces. The Bench is post-war ranches with floor registers and sixty years of dust in a system nobody has opened. Southeast Boise, West Boise and Columbia Village are 1980s-to-2000s two-stories with long flex-duct runs through the attic. Harris Ranch, Barber Valley and the foothills are the newest and largest homes in the city, many with two furnaces, and a lot of them still carrying construction dust sealed in the day they were built.
Then the valley adds its own layer: winter inversions that trap particulate exactly when the furnace runs hardest, a wildfire-smoke season most years that is fine enough to pass a standard filter, foothills dust on every north-side breeze and cottonwood fluff along the river every June. Every bit of it settles in the trunk lines and comes back out each time the system kicks on. The same is true a few miles out in Meridian, Eagle, Star and Nampa — the houses are newer, the dust is the same.

Different Homes. Different Cities. One Complete Cleaning Process.
The equipment, the price per square foot and the five-step process do not change from city to city. What is inside your ductwork often does. Pick your city for local pricing math, the neighborhoods we work in and what we typically find there.

What Most Duct Cleaning Companies Won't Tell You
The industry is largely unregulated, and it shows. Here is the pattern we hear about most from Boise customers who called us after being burned somewhere else.
- A $99 ad gets a truck in the driveway — then only the few feet of duct visible from the register actually get cleaned.
- Once inside, "we found toxic mold" or a required "deep clean" turns that $99 quote into $1,000 or more.
- The main trunk lines — where most of the actual debris lives — are never opened. Nothing is sanitized. Nothing is filmed.
- We quote one price by square footage before we arrive, show you the system on camera, and clean every line — supply, return, trunk and plenum.

No stock footage. This is our actual process on a Treasure Valley home, start to finish — the truck-mounted negative-air system, the agitation tools, and the camera work that proves it is done.
- Truck-mounted equipment pulling 14,000+ CFM of negative air on the whole system at once.
- Every supply and return line agitated back toward the trunk and extracted — not vacuumed at the register.
- Trunks and plenums opened and cleaned, then the furnace coil, then a hospital-grade botanical sanitizer through the entire system.
We Clean The Entire HVAC System — Not Just The Vents
Whether it is a 1920s house in the North End or a 2024 build in Star, nothing below is an upgrade or an add-on. This is what "duct cleaning" means when it is done correctly.

Our Process — Five Steps, Every Home, No Skipped Lines
Same order in a 1910 bungalow on 13th Street and a two-furnace home on a Hidden Springs view lot.
Inspect
We run a camera through the trunk lines and returns before touching anything, so you see exactly what is inside your system — not a photo from somebody else's.
Document
Findings are recorded so there is a clear record of the system's condition going in. On an older Boise home this is also where we check the joints.
Clean
Truck-mounted negative-air equipment rated at 14,000+ CFM agitates and extracts debris from every supply line, return line, main trunk and plenum. The furnace coil is cleaned last.
Sanitize
A hospital-grade botanical sanitizer is fogged through the entire system to address bacteria, mold spores and odors. No bleach, no chemical smell.
Verify
A final camera pass confirms the job is done before we leave — not just a technician's word for it. The video is yours if you want it.

Dryer Vent Cleaning Across The Valley
Lint buildup in a dryer vent is a leading cause of house fires, and a clogged vent means longer dry times and a dryer working harder than it should. Upstairs laundries with a roof exit — most newer Meridian, Eagle and Star homes — are the ones that clog first.
- Removes the #1 dryer-related fire risk in the home
- Cuts drying time and energy use
- Dryer-to-wall connection replaced free, if needed
- Roof and side-of-house exits cleaned, not just the interior run
- 3-month workmanship warranty
