How much does a Mr. Duct Cleaner franchise make?

Mr. Duct Cleaner is one of the franchisors that answers this on the record: its most recent FDD makes an Item 19 financial performance representation — actual unit earnings figures, disclosed by the franchisor itself. The headline figure is $449,907 in average unit revenue — read it alongside what Item 19 says about which units it covers (often only mature or top-performing locations). See every home services brand that discloses earnings in the Home services & home improvement franchises with disclosed Item 19 earnings ranking.

Mr. Duct Cleaner franchise profit vs. revenue

Revenue is not profit. An Item 19 almost always reports sales — what a location takes in — not what an owner keeps. Out of that number come Mr. Duct Cleaner's 6% royalty, the ad fund, rent, payroll, supplies and debt service. No FDD tells you a Mr. Duct Cleaner franchise's profit, because profit depends on your site, your rent and how you run it — so treat any "Mr. Duct Cleaner franchise profit" figure quoted elsewhere as someone's estimate, not a disclosure. On $449,907 of revenue, a 6% royalty alone is about $26,994 a year before any other cost.

Mr. Duct Cleaner lawsuits & legal history (FDD Item 3)

Mr. Duct Cleaner's most recently filed Franchise Disclosure Document (2026) discloses no litigation in Item 3. That is a real signal rather than a gap: the FTC Franchise Rule requires a franchisor to disclose material litigation involving itself, its predecessors, parents, affiliates and management, so an empty Item 3 in a current filing means there was nothing it was required to report. It is worth reading alongside the churn numbers — a system can have a clean Item 3 and still be losing franchisees, which is what Item 20 shows.

Mr. Duct Cleaner closures & failure rate

Before you sign, Mr. Duct Cleaner will hand you a list of current owners to call as references — and they choose who's on that list. It won't include the owners who quit, got bought out, or were forced out last year. The FDD does report that number, even though the reference list leaves those people off. Below is what Mr. Duct Cleaner's most recent filing shows, and whether it's normal for a home services of this kind.

The closest thing an FDD has to a failure rate is Item 20 — outlet openings, closures, terminations and non-renewals, reported by the franchisor. Mr. Duct Cleaner's latest tables show a growing franchised network. Its franchised-outlet closure rate — closures, terminations and non-renewals against outlets — is 0%, against a home services median of 5.1% — at or better than the category. Net franchised outlets moved +7 to 16 in the latest reported year.

Who owns Mr. Duct Cleaner?

Mr. Duct Cleaner's franchise is offered by Mr. Duct Cleaner Franchise Systems, Inc. — the franchisor named on the cover of its most recently filed Franchise Disclosure Document (2026), and the entity a franchisee actually signs with. That name comes straight off the filing at WI DFI; it identifies the franchisor, not necessarily the ultimate parent company behind it.
