It’s crazy how the act of breathing is what keeps us alive. But if the air you’re sucking in is full of dust, dirt, and who-knows-what, all that breathing isn’t really helping. Sooner or later, it’s going to mess with you, and you don’t want that.

The good news is that we know some people who actually know how to make your air feel fresh again. Here are the best air duct cleaning services in Montreal that’ll help ensure you breathe clean air!

How we chose the best air duct cleaning services in Montreal

1. Royal Nettoyage

Address: 100 Hymus Blvd K, Pointe-Claire

Phone: +1 514-875-0000
Business hours:

• Monday to Sunday: Open 24 hours

Website

The Royal Nettoyage team places a lot of emphasis on its professionalism inside your home. 

Customers mention technicians removing their shoes, wearing shoe covers, and even changing those covers frequently to keep floors spotless. 

It may sound small, but if you’ve ever had tradespeople come through your house and leave a trail of dirt, you’ll know how much of a difference this makes. 

They’re also thorough and transparent. Several people said they explained the process as they went. 

In one case, a customer even requested a camera inspection after the job, and the technicians showed the freshly cleaned ducts on the spot.

We also liked that they offer added treatments, like anti-fungal and anti-bacterial applications, which can last up to two years. It’s ideal for families who want a long-term solution for allergies or pets.

That said, we heard from someone who had a vent cover broken during the cleaning. It’s a shame the company just shrugged it off. 

Thank you for your hard work

“Just had air duct, dryer duct, and air exchange duct cleaned yesterday. This hasn’t been done for almost 5 years. The duct must be full of dirt and lint, so it took longer. The 2 technicians are very patient, very professional. They even took off their shoes to avoid dirtying my floor – very impressive. When the job was done, upon my request, they inserted a mini camera into the duct and showed me how clean and nice they are — spotless clean!!! I recommended it to my friends immediately. Thanks a lot to Emanuel and Chris. Thank you for your hard work.”

We looked into 1 Clean Air, and they really take their work seriously. If you have a property that needs serious air duct cleaning, they’re a good choice. 

One family that moved into a fifty-year-old barn house said the ducts had never been cleaned. Even the crew actually told them it was one of the dirtiest jobs they’d seen.

But instead of cutting corners, they took extra time to explain what was going on and made sure every part of the system was spotless.

We’ve also heard about how professional they are. Their crew arrives in clean trucks and wears uniforms and shoe covers. 

However, we did come across one complaint where a technician left a house messy, which is the opposite of what most people describe. It could mean that not every crew is equally careful.

They also have powerful equipment. One person even joked that their system could “suck a bowling ball” out of a furnace—obviously an exaggeration, but it gets the point across that they use strong tools. 

We have no hesitation in recommending this crew

“Great service, on time. Just purchased a 50-year-old barn house. Ducts were never cleaned, and according to Alex and Frank, it makes their top 5 dirtiest they’ve seen. The team took their time (and extra actually, given their condition) to explain and thoroughly clean the entire system. We have no hesitation in recommending this crew. Take a look at the before and after pictures. Happy that my family can “breathe” easier tonight.”

The cost was totally fair, and they were fast and efficient

“Joe and Sarah were fantastic and highly professional. The cost was totally fair, and they were fast and efficient. We tried to clean the ducts ourselves with an Amazon tool that broke off and got stuff. Sarah, up the ladder – 30 feet – was fearlessly able to remove it as well as the birds’ nests clogging the duct. Cannot recommend enough!”

3. MTL Duct Cleaning

Address: 3551 Saint-Charles Blvd, Suite #547, Kirkland

Phone: +1 514-951-3328
Business hours:

• Monday to Sunday: 9 AM – 5 PM

Website

MTL Duct Cleaning handles a lot of different services: residential duct cleaning, commercial/high-rise HVAC, A/C split units, and even carpet cleaning. But from what customers say, their strongest work shines in duct and dryer vent cleaning.

The biggest positive we kept hearing was how fast and responsive they are. 

One customer had a blocked dryer vent, and MTL had a team at his door within the hour of contact. 

They also seem to be very good problem-solvers. One client mentioned the crew even went up on the roof ot check vent airflow and fixed a condensation issue along the way.

The team always leaves their clients’ spaces tidy, and one even noted how the workers were kind to his dogs. These may sound like small details, but they really matter.

As for pricing, they’re not always the cheapest. Most people said it was worth it, though, especially with the same-day service and overall smooth experience. 

Very friendly and thorough

“They cleaned the ducts at my daughter’s place below me and did a marvellous job. Very friendly and thorough. Will be contacting them to give me a quote for my place.”

Outstanding experience from start to finish!

“Outstanding experience from start to finish! Sean and Stefano were professional, friendly, and went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect”

4. Ultra Air Inc.

Address: ​​359 Sainte Croix Ave #204, Saint-Laurent

Phone: +1 514-747-1918
Business hours:

• Monday to Sunday: 8 AM – 8 PM

Website

What immediately caught our attention about Ultra Air Inc.’s team was their National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA) certification. It’s a pretty good assurance that their team is trained to do the work safely and effectively.

That professionalism is really shown based on what we’ve heard from customers. 

One story that stuck with us came from a business owner who had called their company looking for advice. 

Rather than pushing the most expensive option for their service, the owner recommended a route that wasn’t in her best financial interest but was the right one for the client.

Their technicians are also very thorough. People even mentioned noticeable improvements in their indoor air quality, especially those dealing with allergies.

It’s also worth noting that customers repeatedly mention how clean their homes were left after the service.

But of course, they still have some room to improve when it comes to appointments and scheduling. We’ve come across complaints about missed visits and the need to reschedule more than once. 

She truly puts the customer’s needs first

“As an international business owner, I recently contacted Ultra Air Inc. for advice — and I must say, I was genuinely impressed. The lady I spoke with (the owner) gave me an outstanding recommendation, even though it might not have been the most profitable option for her. That alone speaks volumes about her integrity, professionalism, and dedication to helping others. She truly puts the customer’s needs first. Ultra Air Inc. is not just a trustworthy company — it’s run by someone with heart and honesty. Highly recommended!”

The Ultra-Air team was responsive and took the time to explain the services

“I had my air ducts and dryer duct cleaned, and I’m sooo happy with the results, I feel a big difference already! The Ultra-Air team was responsive, took the time to explain the services, and the whole thing was very smooth .. I couldn’t believe how overdue we were!! Will 100% work with them again, highly recommend”

5. Ventilation Vortex Air

Address: 9187 Bd de l’Acadie

Phone: +1 514-214-7492
Business hours:

• Monday to Sunday: 7 AM – 10 PM

Website

At this point, we’ve looked into a few good companies, but Ventilation Vortex Air seems to be the best when it comes to educating their customers.

During the service, they’d really explain every step of the process in a way that’s not so confusing. They would even give tips on how to keep things in good shape, which we appreciate.

Clients also describe their technicians as polite. One homeowner even noted how the team worked so quietly while she was working from home. It barely felt like anyone was there—except, of course, for the fact that their air quality felt fresher after the service.

Pricing is another part, and it’s a good one. Free estimates and competitive rates are a big draw. 

More than one customer mentioned how surprised they were to get a professional service without the premium price tag. 

If there’s one snag, it’s that popularity comes at a cost. They’re clearly in high demand, and a few people found it tough to get a quick response when trying to book them.

The entire process was faster than expected and completely hassle-free

“From the moment they arrived, the two technicians were courteous and clearly knew what they were doing. They treated my home with care and made sure everything was left clean and tidy. The entire process was faster than expected and completely hassle-free. It’s rare to see that level of professionalism these days at such a cheap and fair price for the packaged services offered. I’ll definitely be recommending them to friends and family!”

Nico Dupuis, Google review

They took the time to explain the process and answer all my questions

“The team was punctual, respectful, and clearly knowledgeable about their craft. They took the time to explain the process, answer all my questions, and ensure that everything was done to my satisfaction. The quality of the work exceeded my expectations, and I’ve noticed a significant improvement in my home’s air quality and comfort. I highly recommend fit or anyone in need of ventilation services.”
