How much does air duct cleaning cost in Nashville?
Most Nashville homeowners pay between $300 and $700 per HVAC system for a genuine whole-system cleaning. Here is what moves the number.
Last updated: September 2026
The short answer
For a single-system Nashville house of roughly 1,500 to 2,500 square feet, expect $300 to $700 for a cleaning that covers supply runs, return runs and the blower compartment. Larger zoned homes with two or three systems commonly land between $600 and $1,200 in total, because pricing is almost always quoted per system rather than per house.
What actually drives the price
Number of systems. This is the single biggest factor. Count your thermostats before you call; a quote written for one air handler on a three-system house will be revised on the day.
Vent count. Some providers price per vent — commonly $25 to $45 each — with a minimum charge. A 20-vent house priced that way often lands in the same range as a flat per-system quote, but the two are hard to compare without doing the arithmetic.
Access. Encapsulated crawlspaces, attic air handlers behind knee walls and retrofitted ductwork in pre-war East Nashville housing all add labour.
Condition. Rodent contamination, visible microbial growth and post-fire soot are remediation jobs, not cleanings, and are priced accordingly.
Typical add-on pricing
- Dryer vent cleaning: $150 to $300, more for long attic runs
- Sanitizing or antimicrobial fogging: $75 to $200 per system
- Blower and coil cleaning where quoted separately: $100 to $250
- New filter or media cabinet: $20 to $400 depending on filtration level

When a low price is a warning sign
A $59 or $99 whole-house special is an appointment-setting price, not a cleaning price. The crew arrives, runs a shop vacuum at each register, and then quotes the real work. We cover that pattern and how to shut it down in our guide to duct cleaning scams in Nashville.
How to read a quote
Ask for it in writing, itemised, with the number of systems stated, the scope described (supply runs, return runs, trunk line, blower compartment) and add-ons priced separately. Any provider who will not put that on paper before the truck is dispatched has told you something useful.
