My Mira Loma home has dusty registers. Should I clean ducts or replace them?
Depends on the cleanliness and condition of existing ducts. If the duct interior is just dusty, HEPA-cabinet cleaning ($400-$800) restores indoor air quality. If insulation is degraded or rodent contamination is present, replacement is the fix.

How often should ducts be professionally cleaned in Jurupa Valley?
Every 3-5 years for Mira Loma properties given the heavier dust load. Every 5-7 years for newer Sunnyslope and Pedley subdivisions. We do HEPA-cabinet cleaning, not the consumer-grade rotary brush systems that just push dust around.
How much does ductwork cost in the High Desert?
Sealing-only jobs run $25-$35 per linear foot. Partial replacement (bad runs only) $35-$45. Full replacement with R-8 insulated flex $45-$55. Average HD home has 100-200 linear ft of duct, so total jobs typically $2,500-$11,000.

Signs include: rooms that never reach setpoint, high summer electric bills, dust accumulation around registers, visible duct sag, and uneven temperatures between rooms. We measure static pressure and inspect with camera to confirm.
Is duct cleaning worth it?
DOE notes that routine duct cleaning rarely improves indoor air quality on its own. Worth it after rodent contamination, post-fire smoke, or major remodels that left construction dust behind. Not a substitute for a clean filter.
