5 Benefits of Starting an Air Duct Cleaning Business
May 11, 2021 15:32
Everyone’s looking for ways to make ends meet these days. America is still the land of opportunity, though, and hard work takes you far.
A prime example is air duct cleaning. While specialized and in-demand, this low-skill profession leaves plenty of opportunities for cross-services. You’re your own boss, and air duct cleaners can make a killing with the right mindset.
Homeowners will always need their air ducts cleaned. Duct cleaning is even more important in commercial settings.
Robotics advances every year, but it will be a while until androids can perform the complex maneuvers and thought processes required to effectively and efficiently clean air ducts. As a result, the demand for air duct cleaners will remain relatively stable in proportion to the number of air ducts in existence for at least the foreseeable future.
2. It’s relatively simple
Cleaning air ducts isn’t rocket science. It isn’t playing in the sandbox, either, but the point is that you don’t need a specialized degree or any particular experience. What you certainly do need, however, is:
●A clear goal
●The right mindset
●A small amount of initial capital to invest
By small we mean it can be less than $1,000. To start your air duct cleaning business on the right foot, however, expect to pay closer to $5,000 - $10,000 at the outset.
As long as you don’t make any major mistakes, you’ll recoup that initial investment within a few months at most. Air duct cleaning is just that easy and in-demand.
3. It’s a lucrative occupation
You might think of carpet cleaners and air duct cleaners as the lowest peg of society’s totem pole. Not so.
Very different from salaried janitors and other custodial staff, professional carpet, grout, and air duct cleaners can make quite a bit of money. It’s not unusual to see yearly incomes over $100,000, and even if you don’t make it big, you’ll probably rake in at least $40,000 - $50,000 your first year as an air-duct cleaner.
4. All-inclusive equipment is available
Finding and comparing air duct cleaning equipment is a hassle as a newbie. You might want to custom-tailor your equipment lineup down the road, but companies like DryMaster offer all-inclusive equipment packages that provide you with everything you need to get started on the job (except a driver’s license and vehicle, of course).
By purchasing an air duct cleaning equipment bundle from a reputable dealer like DryMaster, you also get a foot in the door of the industry. It varies from company to company, but DryMaster, at least, bundles their equipment with marketing materials, training, and other bonuses to help you start out and keep going.
5. You can bundle it with other services
Upselling isn’t just for retail. Getting clients to purchase your other services is also an integral part of your job as an air duct cleaner.
There’s a very simple cheat code that works every time:
●Find a client who wants your air duct cleaning service
●Do an amazing job
●Take a discreet look around the property
●Mention other areas of concern on the invoice
●Politely bring up your other services
●Based on your work and attitude, your client is most likely receptive

●Dry carpet cleaning
