Whole-system duct and dryer vent check with before-and-after photos - you see exactly what came out of your vents
That "$99 whole-house special" is a bait ad - the real number appears once they are in your hallway, or the "clean" is a shop-vac at the register. We photograph the inside of your ducts before and after instead.

AfterCarrier Air Duct Cleaning in Marietta, GA | CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Marietta
We provide independent Air Duct Cleaning in Marietta for Carrier systems, not affiliated with or authorized by the manufacturer. Our crews have worked on Carrier systems throughout Cobb County since 2013, and the one thing that separates our work here is how we handle the specific combination of aging duct board and Georgia’s punishing pollen loads. Most Marietta homeowners call us at (470) 516-9337 after their HVAC tech points to the ducts as the source of dust, odors, or weak airflow.
Why Marietta Residents Choose Us for Carrier Service
We know Carrier model lines because we’ve cleaned them in Marietta homes for over a decade. The Performance, Infinity, and Comfort series each have their own duct configurations, and we’ve developed specific protocols for the fiberglass duct board common in systems installed during the 1980s and 1990s.
Tomas Reyes, our owner, grew up in the Bronx and picked up his first trade skills at Bronx Community College before deciding airflow systems were the puzzle worth solving. He and his crew have become the ones homeowners near the Marietta Square call when the HVAC tech says the ducts are the problem. Tomas arrives with a camera scope and leaves customers with before-and-after photos they can actually read. The camera doesn’t lie - and neither does the invoice.
Every job starts with a written price before any work begins, under Haven Standard Clause 1. We use professional-grade equipment from Rotobrush, Nikro, Abatement Technologies, Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Guardsman. Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed, operating under Haven Standard Clause 3: Verified Crews. And every visit concludes with a Documented Photo Record of every duct run, included as standard.
We also offer a Free Second Opinion on any written estimate from a competitor. Bring us the quote; we’ll put our number next to it in writing.
Common Carrier Air Duct Cleaning Problems We Solve in Marietta
- Duct board delamination from attic heat. Carrier systems in Marietta’s 1960s-1990s housing stock often run through unconditioned attics that hit 130-140°F in summer. The fiberglass duct board liners degrade internally, shedding particles into the airstream. We find this constantly in ranch and colonial homes near the Marietta service area core.
- Flex duct sag and collapse. The flex branches connected to Carrier air handlers in these same attics sag over decades, creating low spots where Marietta’s high humidity lets pollen and mold spores accumulate into thick debris mats.
- Evaporator coil mold spreading to supply ducts. Carrier evaporator coils in Marietta’s humid subtropical climate develop biofilm that releases spores directly into the supply airflow. We clean coils as part of full system cleaning, not as a separate upsell.
- Return duct leaks pulling in contaminated attic air. Older Carrier installations in Marietta often have return leaks that suck in attic air laden with oak and pine pollen at levels 5-10 times the national “very high” threshold. This accelerates contamination of the entire system beyond what the filter can catch.
- Interior liner separation in plenum boxes. In post-1970s neighborhoods along the US-41 corridor and near Franklin Road, we’ve found original duct board plenum boxes where the interior liner has separated from the substrate. Standard rotary brushing can worsen this and release fiberglass fibers. We camera-inspect first and use gentler methods when delamination is present.
BeforeAfterCarrier Service in Marietta: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Marietta sits inside one of the worst seasonal pollen corridors in the United States. The Atlanta metro’s dense canopy of mature loblolly pines and oaks deposits extraordinary airborne loads each spring and fall, and Marietta’s high year-round humidity causes that pollen and mold spores to cake onto duct surfaces faster than in drier metros. For Carrier owners, this means a system that was “fine” in a drier climate can become a contamination source here within a few seasons.
The city’s dominant housing stock makes this worse. The 1970s-1990s suburban boom produced thousands of ranch, split-level, and two-story colonial homes with fiberglass duct board trunk lines and early flex duct branches now 30-50 years old. After decades of Georgia attic heat cycling, these liners frequently show interior delamination that sheds fiberglass particles into the airstream. We encounter this in Marietta far more often than in newer-stock markets.
Our crew recently serviced a 1985 ranch home near Franklin Road with a Carrier Performance system. The homeowner complained of musty odors and visible dust; our video inspection revealed delaminated duct board in the plenum and mold growth on the evaporator coil. We performed a full system cleaning with gentle brushing, sealed the duct board, and cleaned the coil, restoring clean airflow without releasing fiberglass.
Carrier Models & Products We Service in Marietta
We work on Carrier Performance, Infinity, and Comfort series systems, including the 24ANB7 Infinity air conditioner and its associated duct configurations. Our Carrier sales & service experience covers both the high-static Infinity systems with their more complex duct requirements and the simpler Comfort series installations common in Marietta’s older subdivisions.
We stock OEM and high-quality aftermarket parts locally for faster turnaround. For Carrier systems with extensive duct board damage, we assess whether repair or replacement is more cost-effective. Partial duct replacement is often the better long-term choice when delamination has compromised structural integrity. We also offer our Dryer Vent Cleaning in Marietta. We don’t sell equipment; we clean, repair, and seal what you have, and we’ll tell you straight when replacement makes more sense than another cleaning.
Carrier Service Pricing in Marietta
Carrier air duct cleaning in Marietta typically runs $450-$850 for a complete whole-system cleaning, depending on home size, duct material, and whether evaporator coil cleaning is needed. Duct board systems requiring gentle handling or partial sealing fall at the higher end. Video inspection is included; we don’t charge separately to look before we quote.
What drives cost: number of duct runs, accessibility in the attic or crawl space, presence of duct board delamination requiring specialized brushing, and whether coil cleaning is bundled. Every price is written and agreed before work starts. No per-vent pricing. No coupon that balloons once the truck arrives.

FAQs - Carrier Air Duct Cleaning in Marietta
Atlanta-area monitoring stations record oak and pine pollen counts 5-10 times the national “very high” threshold, and Marietta’s humidity makes that pollen stick to duct interiors instead of passing through. Carrier systems with even small return leaks pull this debris into the airflow stream, loading filters faster and depositing allergens in living spaces. We find the heaviest accumulation in systems that haven’t been cleaned in 5+ years. Call (470) 516-9337 for an inspection quote.
Yes, but only with a camera inspection first. Standard rotary brushes can accelerate delamination in degraded duct board. We use gentler methods - lower-RPM brushing, negative-pressure extraction, and controlled agitation - when our scope shows liner separation. In some cases we seal delaminated areas before cleaning to prevent fiber release. This is standard protocol for us on Marietta’s older Carrier installations.
It depends on what the camera shows. Surface debris and moderate biofilm: cleaning restores function. Widespread duct board delamination, collapsed flex runs, or multiple disconnected joints: partial replacement is usually more cost-effective than repeated cleanings of failing material. We assess this on every job and give a written recommendation either way. No pressure to replace what doesn’t need replacing.
Yes. We clean and inspect Infinity series duct systems, including the higher-static configurations and communicating components. We don’t perform control board programming or refrigerant work - that’s for your HVAC contractor - but we handle the full duct side: video inspection, register-to-plenum cleaning, and coil cleaning when needed.
For most Marietta homes, every 3-5 years given the pollen load and humidity. Homes with allergy-sensitive occupants, pets, or visible dust accumulation may need it every 2-3 years. The 1990s Carrier systems with original duct board should be camera-inspected at the 3-year mark even if airflow seems fine, because delamination can progress silently. Call (470) 516-9337 to schedule an inspection and we’ll show you exactly what your ducts look like inside.
