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.

AfterAir Duct Cleaning in Johns Creek, GA
HVAC cleaning in Johns Creek typically runs $350-$650 for a whole-system job, with most homes in St. Ives, Medlock Bridge, and Parsons Run needing both duct cleaning and evaporator coil service due to aging flex duct and heavy spring pollen loads. We’re CleanRun Duct Repair & Cleaning, and our crews work Johns Creek from our Atlanta office, arriving with Rotobrush and Abatement Technologies equipment, a written price before any panel comes off, and a camera that documents every duct run. Call (470) 516-9337 for a free estimate.
Why Johns Creek Homes Are Different
Johns Creek’s building boom filled master-planned communities with 4,000-6,000 square foot homes during the 1990s and early 2000s. Those houses now carry flexible ductwork pushing 25-30 years old across two or three HVAC zones. The oak, pine, and sweet gum canopy along Big Creek and Johns Creek corridors drives severe spring pollen infiltration into return air pathways, while the Upper Chattahoochee watershed’s higher humidity accelerates biological growth inside duct runs.
Our technicians regularly find sagging or partially collapsed flex duct at attic joist transitions in two-story plans from this era. Homeowners often blame undersized equipment for weak upstairs airflow; the real cause is 25-year-old duct degradation. Finished basements with supplemental air handlers create additional problems, as return duct runs traverse unconditioned spaces where cold-surface condensation harbors mold and dust.
Our Main Johns Creek Services
These are the three services Johns Creek homeowners call about most, each with its own detailed page.
Air Duct Cleaning in Johns Creek
We clean the full duct network, from return plenum (the sheet-metal box that collects air before it reaches the furnace) to every supply register, using negative-pressure extraction (a vacuum system that pulls debris out while containing it). In Johns Creek, we pay special attention to pollen-compacted returns and the long flex runs typical of St. Ives-era construction. Every job ends with a Documented Photo Record of every duct run. Air Duct Cleaning in Johns Creek.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Johns Creek
Lint accumulation in dryer vents is a fire hazard and efficiency killer, especially in Johns Creek’s larger homes where vent runs often exceed 25 feet through finished walls. We remove the full blockage with rotary brushes and verify airflow recovery with a manometer (a pressure gauge that measures exhaust strength). Dryer Vent Cleaning in Johns Creek.
Duct Repair & Sealing in Johns Creek
When flex duct has sagged, torn, or disconnected at joints, cleaning alone won’t restore airflow. We replace damaged sections with properly supported hard pipe or new flex, seal joints with mastic (a brush-applied sealant that outlasts tape), and test static pressure before leaving.

BeforeAfterHVAC Cleaning in Johns Creek
Johns Creek’s 1990s-2000s housing stock was built for aesthetics first and long-term HVAC maintenance second. Evaporator coils sit behind tight access panels in attic air handlers, and blower assemblies collect the pollen and organic debris that slips past aging filters during Georgia’s March-May pollen season. We provide full HVAC Cleaning that addresses each component as a separate system, not as an afterthought to duct cleaning.
Evaporator Coil Cleaning
Signs you need it
Ice formation on refrigerant lines, weak airflow despite clean ducts, or AC running continuously without reaching set temperature.
What it costs in Johns Creek
Evaporator coil cleaning in Johns Creek typically ranges from $180 to $320.
How we do it
We remove the access panel, apply foaming cleaner to the coil fins, rinse with low-pressure water to avoid bending the aluminum, and photograph the before and after condition for the job record.
Blower Cleaning
Signs you need it
Vibration or noise from the air handler, uneven airflow between rooms, or visible dust on the blower wheel blades through the filter slot.
What it costs in Johns Creek
Blower cleaning in Johns Creek typically ranges from $150 to $280.
How we do it
We remove the blower assembly, clean each blade and the housing with compressed air and solvent, balance the wheel on its shaft, and reinstall with a new gasket.
What HVAC Cleaning Costs in Johns Creek
| Item | Typical range in Johns Creek |
|---|---|
| Evaporator coil cleaning | $180 - $320 |
| Blower cleaning | $150 - $280 |
| Full HVAC cleaning (coil + blower + housing) | $350 - $650 |
How do I know if my HVAC needs cleaning or just the ducts?
If your ducts are clean but rooms still heat or cool unevenly, the problem is likely the coil or blower, not the ductwork. We inspect both before quoting, so you don’t pay for duct cleaning when the restriction is in the air handler.
Can HVAC cleaning fix weak upstairs airflow in my two-story Johns Creek home?
It helps if the blower or coil is clogged, but many Johns Creek homes have actual duct collapse in attic flex runs. We photograph the duct interior to show you whether the restriction is debris or physical damage before you decide on repairs.
Air Quality & Sanitizing in Johns Creek
Johns Creek’s humid subtropical climate and dense tree canopy create conditions inside ductwork that dry-climate cities don’t face. Condensation in basement return runs and pollen-driven organic buildup produce musty odors and microbial growth that standard cleaning won’t eliminate. We treat these problems with targeted applications, not broadcast spraying, and document every treated surface with before-and-after photos.
Mold Treatment
Signs you need it
Musty odor when the system starts, visible spotting on registers or duct liner, or recent water intrusion in basement or crawl space duct runs.
What it costs in Johns Creek
Mold treatment in Johns Creek typically ranges from $250 to $450 per affected zone.
How we do it
We apply an EPA-registered antimicrobial to affected surfaces using a fogger that reaches the full duct perimeter, then HEPA-vacuum loosened debris and deliver photos of treated areas.
UV Light Installation
Signs you need it
Recurring microbial growth despite cleaning, family members with allergy symptoms that worsen when the system runs, or persistent odor that returns within months of treatment.
What it costs in Johns Creek
UV light installation in Johns Creek typically ranges from $400 to $700 including the lamp and power supply.
How we do it
We mount a UV-C lamp in the supply plenum where it irradiates the coil and drain pan continuously, wire it to the blower circuit, and show you the installation point in your photo record.
What Air Quality & Sanitizing Costs in Johns Creek
| Item | Typical range in Johns Creek |
|---|---|
| Mold treatment (per zone) | $250 - $450 |
| UV light installation | $400 - $700 |
| Whole-system sanitizing (bacteria/odor) | $200 - $350 |
Is UV light worth it in Johns Creek’s humid climate?
Yes, if you have recurring mold or allergy issues. The lamp prevents regrowth on the coil and drain pan, which is where Johns Creek’s humidity causes the most problems. We install Guardsman-specified lamps with a one-year bulb replacement schedule.
Will sanitizing chemicals leave residue in my ducts?
No. We use EPA-registered products formulated for HVAC systems that break down to inert compounds, and we run the blower for 30 minutes post-treatment to clear any remaining vapor. The photo record shows you exactly which surfaces were treated.
Brands We Service in Johns Creek
We stock parts and service equipment from Honeywell, Aprilaire, Rotobrush, Nikro, Abatement Technologies, and Guardsman. Most filter replacements, UV lamps, and sanitizer applications are completed on the first visit. See our brands for full specifications.
