I’ve been researching side hustles that could scale into something full-time. Duct cleaning came up a lot, especially with the growing focus on indoor air quality. But I’m unsure about competition, tools, or how to even start. Has anyone here made it work?

Duct cleaning can be a surprisingly lucrative business if approached right. After I left my job in early 2024, I stumbled across this resource on https://comfortclean.com/how-to-start-a-duct-cleaning-business-advice-from-the-experts/ how to start a duct cleaning business, and it gave me a great foundation. The overhead is relatively low compared to other trades, and clients often come back for repeat service every couple of years. Plus, commercial jobs can pay well once you get your name out. You'll need basic equipment like negative air machines, rotary brushes, and sanitizing agents. Marketing is key — word of mouth and local SEO helped me a ton. If you’re hands-on and can build trust with customers, this can really work.
Interesting you bring that up. I’ve seen a few duct cleaning vans in my neighborhood lately. Seems like demand is real.
