Whole-system duct and dryer vent check with before-and-after photos - you see exactly what came out of your vents
That "$99 whole-house special" is a bait ad - the real number appears once they are in your hallway, or the "clean" is a shop-vac at the register. We photograph the inside of your ducts before and after instead.
Air Duct Cleaning Company in Cheney, WA
Air duct cleaning in Cheney, WA typically runs $380 – $560 for a standard single-family home, and most jobs wrap up in 3 – 5 hours.

Call (737) 727-2314 for a free estimate.
Why Cheney Homes Are Different
Cheney sits at 2,350 feet on the Columbia Plateau, where dry summers, cold winters, and consistent wind create a unique dust profile. Homes here collect fine Palouse silt and agricultural particulate that works into ductwork regardless of how clean the living space is. Add in winter heating seasons that stretch from October into May, and your system cycles relentlessly, pulling that dust through the furnace, evaporator coil, and every register.
Cheney’s housing stock splits into roughly three eras. Older homes near EWU and the downtown core were built from the 1900s through the 1950s, and many still have their original sheet-metal duct runs, some with asbestos wrap on early joints. Mid-century and late-century homes in the Salnave Road area and around the high school were framed quickly during Cheney’s growth periods, and we often find undersized return air systems that pull harder on filters and collect more debris. Newer construction further out includes flexible duct lines that need gentler negative-pressure extraction rather than aggressive rotary brushing. Cheney homes with heat pumps, common in newer builds, also benefit from coil cleaning during the duct job. Call (737) 727-2314 to discuss what your home needs.
Our Main Cheney Services
Cheney homeowners most often call us about dryer vents and full air duct cleanings, so we’ve given each its own detailed page below. Every job includes the same standard: a written price before work starts, background-checked uniformed technicians, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Cheney
Dryer vents in Cheney clog faster than homeowners expect, partly because of the fine silt that rides in on the wind and partly because long vent runs snake through cold crawl spaces where heat condenses and lets lint stick to the duct walls. A restricted dryer vent means longer dry cycles, higher electric bills, and the potential for lint ignition inside the vent line. Our technicians run rotary brushes through the full vent run, from the dryer connection to the exterior terminator, and remove the compacted lint by hand rather than blowing it out the other end. Before-and-after photos prove the work. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Cheney gets its own page with local pricing and what to expect.

Air Duct Cleaning in Cheney
Whole-home air duct cleaning in Cheney means addressing the supply runs, return lines, boots, registers, and the main trunk line. We use Rotobrush rotary brush systems inside the duct and a Nikro HEPA vacuum in negative-pressure extraction mode, which means loosened debris goes straight into the sealed vacuum and not back into your living room. Cheney’s wind-driven dust, pet hair from multi-pet households, and drywall dust from past renovations all collect in the same places. If anyone in the home struggles with allergies or you notice a musty smell when the furnace kicks on, the ducts are the right place to look. Air Duct Cleaning in Cheney covers the full scope, local pricing, and what most homes need.

HVAC Cleaning in Cheney
HVAC cleaning in Cheney goes beyond the ducts to the mechanical heart of the system: the blower motor, evaporator coil, drain pan, and housing. A coil coated in Palouse silt and fine dust makes the whole system work harder, which shows up as higher energy bills and uneven heating between rooms. We pull the coil access, apply professional-grade cleaning agents, and flush the drain line so condensate doesn’t back up into the pan. Cheney’s hard water also leaves calcium deposits that respond best to coil-specific cleaners rather than household products. HVAC Cleaning in Cheney has the full breakdown, including local pricing and what we inspect.
