The ducts and return box were cleaned, both systems were tuned up, and the Nest thermostat was set to cool to 72.
What does duct cleaning cover for that price?
A full cleaning covers the supply runs, the return ducts, the registers, and the return box, where dust collects first. Dryer vent cleaning and cleaning the coil or blower are usually separate line items, so ask what’s included when you compare quotes.
How often should ducts be cleaned in Las Vegas?
Every few years is a common rule of thumb, sooner with pets, recent remodeling, or the fine desert dust that gets into attics here. Dust that settles again a day or two after you clean is a sign the ducts are due. Our guide to why a Las Vegas house stays dusty covers the other causes.
Is it worth pairing duct cleaning with a tune-up?
It makes sense. The tech is already in the system, and a dirty coil or blower can send dust right back into clean ducts. A tune-up checks those parts along with the refrigerant side and electrical parts.
