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 Atlanta, GA
Complete HVAC cleaning for Atlanta homes typically runs $450-$850 for a full system, with air quality treatments adding $200-$500 depending on the scope. We’re CleanRun Duct Repair & Cleaning, and we dispatch crews from our Atlanta office to handle the specific problems this city’s climate and housing stock create: pollen-coated ductwork, mold-prone humidity zones, and flex-duct failures in attic spaces that hit 130°F. Every job starts with a written price before work begins and ends with a documented photo record of every duct run. Call (470) 516-9337 for a free estimate.
Why Atlanta Homes Are Different
Atlanta’s urban tree canopy - loblolly pines, oaks, and sweetgums that give the city its “City in a Forest” nickname - makes it one of the highest-pollen cities in North America. That pollen load doesn’t stay outside; HVAC systems pull extraordinary volumes into ductwork each spring, coating interiors in ways that rarely occur in comparable-sized cities.
Combine that with humid subtropical summers, and you’ve got a two-threat problem: particulate overload plus biological growth. Attic temperatures regularly exceed 130-140°F, causing flex duct to sag and separate at joints. When that happens, the system pulls unfiltered attic air - fiberglass particles, mold spores, and that distinctive red Georgia clay dust - straight into living spaces. Intown bungalows in Grant Park and Kirkwood carry their own risks: original or poorly retrofitted duct systems from the 1920s-1940s with sealing that failed decades ago.
Our Main Atlanta Services
Atlanta homeowners call us most often for these three services, each with its own dedicated Atlanta page:
Air Duct Cleaning in Atlanta
We clean the full duct network - supply and return runs, trunk lines, and registers - using negative-pressure extraction (a vacuum system that pulls debris out while containing it, rather than blowing it through your home). In Atlanta’s 1990s-2000s tract homes, we regularly find flex duct runs that have detached in attics and been pulling unfiltered air for years. Every job includes a written price before work starts and a documented photo record of every run. Air Duct Cleaning in Atlanta
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Atlanta
Dryer vent blockages are a leading cause of house fires, and Atlanta’s humidity makes lint cling to vent walls more aggressively than in drier climates. We clean the full vent path from dryer to termination, verify airflow with a meter, and photograph the before and after condition. If the vent run is damaged or improperly routed through an Atlanta attic, we’ll note it in writing. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Atlanta
Duct Repair & Sealing in Atlanta
Sagging flex duct, disconnected joints, and failed sealing are routine finds in Atlanta’s builder-grade housing stock. We repair or replace damaged sections, seal joints with mastic (a brush-applied sealant that outlasts tape), and pressure-test the system to verify results. Every repair scope is priced in writing before work begins. Duct Repair & Sealing in Atlanta

BeforeAfterHVAC Cleaning in Atlanta
Atlanta’s combination of extreme pollen loads and attic temperatures that cook flex duct into failure means HVAC cleaning here isn’t maintenance-window tidying - it’s often the first step to fixing airflow, humidity control, and indoor air quality problems that have been misdiagnosed as “needing a new unit.” We clean the components that actually move and condition air: coils, blowers, condensers, and air handlers. HVAC Cleaning covers our full methodology.
Evaporator Coil Cleaning
Signs you need it
Ice buildup on the coil, weak airflow from registers, or a musty smell when the AC first cycles on - all common in Atlanta homes where pollen mats on the coil and traps moisture.
What it costs in Atlanta
Evaporator coil cleaning typically runs $250-$450, with price depending on accessibility and whether the coil requires removal for cleaning.
How we do it
We access the coil through the plenum (the air distribution box), apply foaming cleaner, rinse with low-pressure water, and photograph the before and after condition for the job record.
Blower Cleaning
Signs you need it
Vibration noise from the air handler, uneven airflow room-to-room, or dust puffing from registers when the fan starts - all point to a debris-loaded blower wheel.
What it costs in Atlanta
Blower cleaning generally ranges $200-$350, with variable-speed and multi-stage blowers at the higher end due to disassembly complexity.
How we do it
We remove the blower assembly, clean the wheel and housing with compressed air and solvent, balance the wheel, and reinstall with a photographed before-and-after record.
What HVAC Cleaning Costs in Atlanta
| Item | Typical range in Atlanta |
|---|---|
| Evaporator coil cleaning | $250 - $450 |
| Blower cleaning | $200 - $350 |
| Full HVAC system cleaning | $450 - $850 |
How do I know my HVAC needs cleaning versus replacement?
Start with cleaning if the unit is under 12 years old and the problem is airflow, odor, or uneven cooling - not complete failure. We provide a written assessment with photos; if cleaning won’t solve it, we’ll say so.
Does Atlanta’s pollen mean I need HVAC cleaning more often?
Most Atlanta homes benefit from coil and blower cleaning every 3-4 years, not annually - unless you have severe allergies or the system runs continuously. Call (470) 516-9337 and we’ll assess your specific load.
Air Quality & Sanitizing in Atlanta
Atlanta’s pollen-plus-humidity combination creates a near-ideal substrate for mold growth inside ducts, making air quality work here a biological-contamination issue as often as a particulate one. We treat mold, sanitize for bacteria, remove odors at the source, and install UV lights and air purifiers where the problem is ongoing. Air Quality & Sanitizing details our full protocol.
Mold Treatment
Signs you need it
Visible mold around registers, a persistent earthy smell when the system runs, or allergy symptoms that worsen at home - all common in Atlanta’s humid climate.
What it costs in Atlanta
Mold treatment for ductwork typically runs $400-$800, with full-system applications at the higher end and localized spot treatments lower.
How we do it
We apply an EPA-registered antimicrobial through the duct system, mechanically remove visible growth, and verify results with post-treatment photos.
UV Light Installation
Signs you need it
Recurring mold after treatment, or a system in a damp crawlspace or basement where humidity stays above 60% year-round.
What it costs in Atlanta
UV light installation generally ranges $300-$600 per light, including placement in the supply plenum where it irradiates the coil and nearby surfaces.
How we do it
We mount a Honeywell or Aprilaire UV-C lamp in the plenum, wire it to the blower circuit, and provide the model number and warranty documentation in your job record.
What Air Quality & Sanitizing Costs in Atlanta
| Item | Typical range in Atlanta |
|---|---|
| Mold treatment | $400 - $800 |
| UV light installation | $300 - $600 |
| Whole-system sanitizing | $500 - $950 |
Is mold in my ducts dangerous or just unpleasant?
Most duct mold is allergenic, not toxic, but it aggravates asthma and allergies - and in Atlanta’s humidity, it spreads. We treat it as a contamination issue, not an aesthetic one, with documented before-and-after photos.
Will a UV light prevent all mold?
UV lights control mold on the coil and in the immediate plenum area, but they don’t clean existing debris - pair with coil cleaning for full protection. Call (470) 516-9337 for a scope written to your system.
