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.

Why Obetz Homes Are Different
Obetz sits in a flat, open stretch of southern Franklin County, and that geography does two things to ductwork. First, there’s nothing blocking the wind that rolls across the Scioto River basin, which means fine silt and agricultural dust move through the air all spring and fall. Second, the Village of Obetz has spent the last fifteen years adding new residential construction, so we see a real split: original ranch homes from the 1950s and 60s with metal ducts that have never been cleaned, and newer builds with flexible duct runs that collect drywall dust from day one.
Homes near Memorial Park and the older streets around Groveport Road tend to have basements, which means duct trunks run through cooler, sometimes damper spaces. That’s where dust sticks and compacts. Homes in the newer subdivisions south of Rathmell Road are mostly slab-on-grade, so the ductwork sits in the attic instead, baking all summer. Both conditions call for a different approach to cleaning, and our techs know which one they’re walking into before they ring the bell. Obetz also has a mix of newer townhome communities near the Fortress Obetz complex, where shared walls and tight mechanical closets make containment and HEPA extraction matter more than in a detached home.
Our Main Obetz Services
Most Obetz homeowners reach out to us for one of two things: dryer vent cleaning when the dryer takes two cycles to finish a load, or full air duct cleaning when allergy season hits and every room smells like the same stale dust. Each service has its own page with full pricing and what to expect.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Obetz
Dryer vents in Obetz clog fast, thanks to the flat, dusty air and the fact that most laundry rooms vent through short, straight runs that give lint a false sense of security. A vent that can’t breathe pushes your dryer harder, and that’s how a thirty-minute cycle becomes an hour. We clean the full run from the back of the dryer to the exterior termination using professional HEPA vacuum extraction, not a drill attachment. Read more on our Dryer Vent Cleaning in Obetz page, including what a full vent cleaning covers and how we verify the airflow before we leave.
Air Duct Cleaning in Obetz
Full air duct cleaning in Obetz means every supply and return duct, the main trunk lines, the blower compartment, and the plenum – that’s the box where the ductwork meets your furnace. We use Rotobrush rotary brushes to knock debris loose and Nikro HEPA vacuums in negative-pressure extraction, which means loosened dirt goes straight into the vacuum, not back into your living room. Homes near the airport logistics corridors also deal with fine particulate from constant freight traffic. See the full breakdown on our Air Duct Cleaning in Obetz page.
HVAC Cleaning in Obetz
HVAC cleaning in Obetz goes beyond the ducts themselves. We clean the evaporator coil, the blower motor and housing, the drain pan and line, and the accessible interior of the air handler. A dirty coil in an Obetz home works against you all summer, forcing the system to run longer and pushing more humidity into the house. That’s a bigger deal here because the flat terrain and dense summer air don’t give your system any breaks. Details and pricing are on our HVAC Cleaning in Obetz page.

Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning Company in Obetz, OH
Here’s what you’ll typically pay for the most common jobs in Obetz. These are whole-system ranges, not per-vent teasers – the price we hand you in writing before work starts is the price you pay.
| Service | Typical range in Obetz |
|---|---|
| Air duct cleaning (standard home, up to 10 vents) | $350 – $500 |
| Air duct cleaning (larger home, 11 – 20 vents) | $450 – $650 |
| Air duct cleaning (ductwork only, no HVAC unit) | $250 – $400 |
| Dryer vent cleaning (standard run, up to 10 ft) | $85 – $150 |
| Dryer vent cleaning (long run or multi-story) | $125 – $200 |
| HVAC cleaning (blowers, coils, and duct surfaces) | $450 – $650 |
| Furnace cleaning (blower, burners, combustion chamber) | $125 – $250 |
| AC coil cleaning only | $150 – $300 |
| Filtration upgrade (whole-home media cabinet, e.g., Aprilaire) | $300 – $600 |
Two things push Obetz pricing toward the top of those ranges. Homes built in the last ten years often have flex duct in tight attic spaces, which takes more time and care to clean without damaging. And homes near the Rickenbacker logistics corridor show heavier soot and particulate buildup, which means more passes and a longer extraction cycle. Whatever the number is, you’ll have it in writing before we start, and it won’t change at the door.
