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.
Nikro HVAC Cleaning in Marietta: What to Know First
We provide independent Nikro HVAC cleaning in Marietta for homeowners who need evaporator coils, blowers, condensers, air handlers, and heat exchangers cleaned without the guesswork. Most Nikro jobs in Cobb County run $340-$780 depending on system accessibility and contamination level, and we deliver a written price before any panel comes off. As an independent Nikro service provider, we are not affiliated with or authorized by Nikro, but our crews have cleaned hundreds of their units across East Cobb, Kennesaw, and the historic districts near Marietta Square since 2013. Call (470) 516-9337 for a free estimate with a written scope and no obligation.
How Nikro Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- PD Series portable air scrubbers: The blower wheel cakes with fine particulate in Marietta’s pollen-heavy spring seasons, causing a 15-20% airflow drop before the motor labors audibly. We remove the wheel assembly, clean it with a Nikro-compatible solvent that won’t degrade the powder coat, and photograph the delta on the manometer readout.
- SL Series truck-mounted extractors: The heat exchanger tubes develop scale buildup from Cobb County’s moderately hard water supply, reducing thermal transfer efficiency. We descale with a citric-acid-based cleaner that meets Nikro’s material compatibility specs, then pressure-test at 150% operating PSI to verify seal integrity.
- HP20 and HP20-GO HEPA vacuums: The pleated filter media loads unevenly when used on Georgia’s fine red-clay dust, creating bypass channels that the pressure gauge won’t flag early. We disassemble the filter housing, document the loading pattern with photos, and replace with OEM or Abatement Technologies cross-reference filters rated to the same MERV 16 spec.
- AV Series air handlers: The evaporator coil fins flatten progressively from the high-static conditions common in older Marietta ranch homes with undersized returns. We straighten with a fin comb matched to Nikro’s 8 fins-per-inch density, then apply a foaming cleaner that won’t attack the aluminum-brazed joints.
- Gas-fired unit heaters (GUH line): The burner orifices clog with spider silk and pollen debris between seasons, causing yellow tipping and CO risk. We pull and sonic-clean each orifice, measure flame pattern with a digital analyzer, and record the CO ppm reading in your job file.
Our Nikro HVAC Cleaning Process

- 1
Written scope and price. We inspect the unit, identify the Nikro model and serial, and deliver a fixed price in writing before touching a tool. Haven Standard Clause 1: no exceptions.
- 2
Photo documentation of condition. Our technician scopes the interior with a borescope camera and saves the images to your job record. The camera doesn’t lie - and neither does the invoice.
- 3
Parts decision with verification. If a component needs replacement, we show you the OEM part number and the quality aftermarket equivalent, explain the warranty implications of each, and let you choose. No default-upsell to OEM.
- 4
Cleaning and repair with trade-specified chemistry. We match cleaning agents to Nikro’s published material compatibility data, not whatever is in the van that morning. Every chemical is logged by batch.
- 5
Performance verification. We measure static pressure, temperature split, and amp draw against the Nikro spec plate, then photograph the readings. The job isn’t closed until the numbers are in range.
- 6
Deliverable package. You receive the before-and-after photo record, the written scope completion checklist, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing before we leave.

Why Marietta Homeowners Call CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Marietta for Nikro Work

We’ve cleaned Nikro equipment in Marietta since 2013, and we’ve learned what the manuals don’t cover: how Georgia’s clay-heavy dust behaves inside a PD-series blower, which aftermarket filters actually seal in HP20 housings, and why East Cobb’s harder water demands a different descale approach than the Nikro factory recommends for national averages. Every job carries the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing, and every technician is background-checked and identified by name before arrival under Haven Standard Clause 3: Verified Crews. We also service Lennox, Trane, and Carrier systems, so when your home has mixed-brand equipment, one crew handles the full scope without subcontracting or confusion.
FAQs
No, provided the work is performed by a qualified technician using manufacturer-compatible methods and documented properly. We log every chemical, pressure reading, and parts cross-reference in your job file so warranty claims have supporting evidence if needed. Call (470) 516-9337 if your warranty documentation requires specific language.
OEM parts carry Nikro’s warranty backing and guaranteed fit; quality aftermarket equivalents from Abatement Technologies or Guardsman often match spec at lower cost but shift warranty liability to the installer. We show you both options with real part numbers and let you decide based on your risk tolerance, not ours. Call (470) 516-9337 to discuss what’s in stock for your model.
Most scheduled Nikro cleanings in Marietta are completed in a single visit because we arrive with the common filter sizes, fin combs, and cleaning chemistry already on the truck. If your unit needs a specialty part we don’t carry, we order it with tracking and schedule the return visit in writing before we leave. Call (470) 516-9337 to check same-week availability.
Every three to five years for typical residential use, sooner if you have pets, recent renovation dust, or run the system continuously through Georgia’s long cooling season. The red-clay particulate in Marietta’s outdoor air loads filters and coils faster than northern climates, so we recommend a visual inspection every two years. Call (470) 516-9337 to schedule a no-charge look.
You receive a Documented Photo Record of every duct run and component cleaned, with timestamped before-and-after images you can read without a technician’s interpretation. This has been standard on every CleanRun job since 2013. If the photo doesn’t show clean metal, the work isn’t complete. Call (470) 516-9337 and we’ll explain what to look for before you hire anyone.
