Duct cleaning in West Virginia typically costs $360 for a 1,500–2,500 sq ft home. Most jobs land between $290 and $450. That is 20% below the US typical of $450, mainly because HVAC technicians here earn 20% less than the national median and goods and equipment cost 3% less than average. This is a model estimate from public wage, price and climate data; local prices sharpen it as people add theirs.

Before you sign
Which part failed and why. A written diagnosis stops a small repair from growing on the day.
On systems over 12–15 years old, compare the repair against a replacement before you pay for a major part.
Rules vary by city. Ask the contractor whether a permit applies.
Look the contractor up in the state registry before you sign. Our quote check does it for supported states.
The federal 25C tax credit ended for systems installed after 2025. Utility and state programs may still apply.
Replacements are cheapest to book in spring and fall, before the first heat wave or cold snap.
