Roy and Vital Vents did an incredible job cleaning our ducts. He was on time, super friendly, and took the time to walk us through everything he found. I couldn't believe how much debris was in there. Our allergies have noticeably improved since and the house just feels fresher. Will definitely be calling Roy again!

What Customers Say
Real Reviews from Real Neighbors
Don't just take our word for it — here's what Twin Cities homeowners are saying about Vital Vents.
Roy is the real deal. Incredibly knowledgeable and took the time to explain everything he was doing. Our HVAC has been running more efficiently since and the air just feels cleaner. Upfront pricing, no upsells, showed up exactly when he said he would — honestly couldn't ask for more.
Had Roy from Vital Vents come out and clean the ducts at our office building. He was flexible with our schedule, worked around our team, and the air quality difference was immediate. Everyone in the office noticed. We've already booked him for our annual maintenance — highly recommend!
The Story Behind Vital Vents
Meet Roy — The Person Behind the Truck
Roy's path into this industry is a personal one. A difficult experience with a chimney fire early in his life left a lasting impression — and a deep motivation to do work that protects people from ever going through something similar.
Roy founded Vital Vents with a clear mission: to do the kind of work that prevents house fires, protects families' health and safety, and ensures no one ever has to experience what he went through. Every job is personal to him.
Born and raised in the Twin Cities and east central Minnesota, Roy is deeply rooted in this community. He built Vital Vents to be 100% transparent and empowering to the customer — which is exactly why he designed the instant quote calculator with all pricing shown upfront. No surprises, no pressure, no games.
When he's not on the job, Roy is a devoted husband and father to his 8-month-old baby boy. He also happens to be a recording artist on the side — his music has found its way onto some pretty well-known TV shows and streaming platforms. There's a little more to your air duct guy than meets the eye.
Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Have a question not listed here? Give us a call or text — we're happy to help.
Can dirty vents and ducts cause house fires?
Yes — and it's more common than most people realize. Dryer vents and chimneys are the leading causes of house fires related to HVAC systems. Lint buildup in dryer vents is highly flammable and can ignite without warning, while creosote buildup in chimneys is responsible for thousands of fires every year. Air ducts are less commonly a direct cause, but excessive dust and debris buildup can contribute to fire risk in certain situations. Regular cleaning of all these systems is one of the most important things you can do to protect your home and family.
Do you use truck-mounted equipment?
Yes — and it makes a significant difference. Our truck-mounted system is one of the most powerful setups available, generating far greater suction than portable units that competitors bring inside your home. Because the equipment stays outside in the truck, there's no noise, no mess, and no risk of cross-contamination inside your living space. The result is a deeper, more thorough clean that removes more dust, debris, allergens, and buildup in a single visit — leaving your ducts cleaner than a portable unit ever could.
How often should I have my air ducts cleaned?
The EPA and NADCA recommend having your air ducts professionally cleaned every 3–5 years. However, you may want to clean them sooner if you have pets, allergies, asthma, recent construction or renovation, visible mold, or if you've just moved into a new home.
How long does a typical duct cleaning take?
Most residential cleanings take 2–4 hours depending on the size of the home and the number of vents. Commercial jobs vary. We'll give you an accurate time estimate when we quote your job.
Do I need to be home during the cleaning?
Not at all — we work around your life. While we're always happy to walk you through the results if you're home, it's not a requirement. Many of our customers are at work, running errands, or simply have a vacant property that needs servicing. As long as we have access to the home, we'll get the job done and send you a message when we're finished. We treat every home with the same care and respect whether you're there or not.
Do I need to remove my vent covers before the cleaning?
No — we don't require customers to do anything ahead of time. In most cases we don't need to remove vent covers at all. Our equipment includes specially designed air wands and whips built to fit directly through vent covers, so you can leave everything as-is. Only in certain circumstances where the design of the vent requires it will we remove a cover — and we always put it back when we're done.
Will duct cleaning make a mess in my home?
No — we use negative-pressure HEPA equipment that contains everything inside the duct system. Our technicians protect your floors and furniture and leave your home as clean as they found it.
How can I pay?
We make it easy! You can pay on-site with cash, check, or card — whichever is most convenient for you. After the job, you'll also receive an invoice by email with a secure online payment link so you can pay by credit card or bank transfer from home if you prefer. However you choose to pay, we've got you covered.
What about my pets during the cleaning?
We love pets! That said, because our truck-mounted equipment requires an outside door to be propped open during the cleaning, we want to make sure your furry friends stay safe and don't slip out. Some owners prefer to drop their pets off at a kennel for the day — totally up to you. If they're staying home, the easiest approach is to put them in one room while we clean the rest of the house, then once those rooms are done you can move your pets into a completed room and we'll finish up the room they were in. It's a simple process and we're happy to work around whatever works best for you and your pets!
Will everything be removed from my ductwork?
All of the dirt, dust, debris, and smaller buildup will be fully removed. However, once an object reaches a certain size or weight, removal can't always be guaranteed. The good news is that larger objects sitting inside a duct rarely pose any threat to your HVAC system — so there's no need to worry. We'll let you know if we come across anything out of the ordinary.
Does the technician notify me when he's on his way?
Yes! We'll give you a call and send a text when we're about 20–30 minutes away so you're never left wondering. No surprises — just a heads up so you can be ready.
Will it get rid of odors?
We've seen great results with many different types of odors — and in a lot of cases customers notice a significant improvement. That said, odors can have many underlying factors beyond the ductwork itself, so we can't make any promises. What we can promise is that we'll do our best and be honest with you about what we find.
Does duct cleaning really improve air quality?
Yes. Studies have shown that duct cleaning can significantly reduce dust, allergens, mold spores, and other pollutants circulating in your home. Many customers report breathing easier, fewer allergy symptoms, and less dust on surfaces within days of a cleaning.
What areas do you serve?
We cover a wide service area spanning the entire Twin Cities metro, the surrounding suburbs, all of east central Minnesota, and well into western Wisconsin. Not sure if we cover your area? Check the service area map below or give us a call or text — we're happy to help.
