What Does an Odor Control Program Actually Cost?

A 32-story residential high-rise wanted a real number for what odor control would cost — not a brochure range. We walked the building and built a transparent quote from the ground up.

What Does an Odor Control Program Actually Cost?

The Challenge

What we walked into

The building had three distinct odor sources: the trash chute, the garage exhaust near the lobby intake, and the rooftop kitchen exhaust above the penthouse units. Past vendors had quoted a flat monthly number with no line-item visibility.

The Solution

How Luften approached it

Luften scoped each source separately: a misting system in the trash chute, a vapor-phase neutralizer at the garage intake, and a kitchen-exhaust degreasing service on the roof. Pricing was broken out by hardware, consumables, and service visits so the building could adjust scope without renegotiating the whole contract.

The Results

What changed

The building landed on a $1,840/month program — about 18% less than the flat-rate competitor — with full visibility into where every dollar went. Odor complaints in the lobby dropped to one per quarter, down from weekly.
