Questions
Common questions
- Most new-home contracts don't include a real post-construction duct cleaning — even at the $1M+ price point. And a cleaning can't reach the fine dust already settled into the duct liner. Keeping it out during the build is the only complete fix.
- The covers go in at rough-in — before drywall, insulation, flooring, or paint. They sit in the vent opening and filter any air moving through the system. At trim-out, the HVAC contractor pulls them and installs the final registers. About 30–60 minutes added at rough-in.
- Use the "Send this to your builder" message — it explains the product, links to the contractor page, and gives your builder everything they need to add it to the spec. Most builders are glad to once they see the quality and liability upside.
- For remodels, yes — install them before the dirty work starts. For new construction, it's cleanest to have the HVAC sub set them at rough-in as part of their normal process.
- Roughly $350–600 for an average home — less than a single post-construction duct cleaning ($450–$1,000 per NADCA: nadca.com/homeowners/cost-and-time-estimates), and it stops the debris from getting in at all.
