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 Alpharetta, GA
HVAC cleaning in Alpharetta typically runs $400-$800 for a whole-home system, with most jobs scheduled within a week during peak pollen season. We’re CleanRun Duct Repair & Cleaning, and we dispatch crews to Alpharetta from our Atlanta office to handle the specific problems this city’s housing stock creates: aging flex-duct systems in 1990s-2000s subdivisions, heavy North Fulton pollen loads, and humidity-cycled attic ductwork that degrades faster than homeowners expect. Every job starts with a written price before any panel comes off, and every duct run is photographed before and after. Call (678) 679-7540 for a free estimate.
Why Alpharetta Homes Are Different
Alpharetta’s residential core is built from a single, unusual cohort: large two-story subdivision homes constructed during the 1990s-2000s growth explosion, particularly along the GA-400 corridor in communities like Windward. These 3,000-5,000+ square foot homes commonly run two or three separate HVAC systems with flex duct routed through hot, humid attics - a construction standard across Georgia, but concentrated here at a scale no neighboring city matches.
That housing stock is now hitting the 20-30 year mark simultaneously, and the failure mode is specific. Technicians working Windward and similar subdivisions routinely find original duct board plenums shedding fiberglass liner inward, sending particulates directly into conditioned air. Homeowners almost never suspect this until a duct inspection reveals it. The problem is neighborhood-wide, not individual.
Alpharetta also sits in one of the Southeast’s highest pollen-count corridors. North Fulton County’s dense tree canopy loads return-air systems with spring pine and oak pollen, while Georgia’s extended cooling season - April through October - keeps systems running hard with little downtime. Humidity cycling through attic-mounted ductwork accelerates liner deterioration and creates conditions for microbial growth inside flex ducts.

AfterHVAC Cleaning in Alpharetta
HVAC cleaning in Alpharetta addresses the accumulated load on systems that run eight months straight through pollen season and high humidity. The city’s concentration of 20-30 year old multi-zone residential systems means evaporator coils, blowers, and air handlers are working with degraded ductwork and restricted airflow from the start. We clean the full mechanical system - not just the ducts - and document every component with before-and-after photos as part of our standard deliverable. Our HVAC Cleaning hub has additional technical detail on equipment and protocols.
Evaporator Coil Cleaning
Signs you need it
Ice buildup on the coil, weak airflow from registers, or AC running continuously without reaching set temperature.
What it costs in Alpharetta
Evaporator coil cleaning typically ranges $250-$450 per system in Alpharetta.
How we do it
We access the coil through the plenum, apply foaming cleaner, rinse with low-pressure water, and photograph the coil surface before and after.
Blower Cleaning
Signs you need it
Unbalanced airflow between rooms, motor laboring audibly, or dust visible at supply registers immediately after filter changes.
What it costs in Alpharetta
Blower cleaning and wheel balancing typically ranges $200-$350 per air handler in Alpharetta.
How we do it
We remove the blower assembly, clean the wheel and housing with compressed air and solvent, balance the wheel, and photograph assembly condition.
What HVAC Cleaning Costs in Alpharetta
| Item | Typical range in Alpharetta |
|---|---|
| Evaporator coil cleaning (per system) | $250-$450 |
| Blower cleaning and wheel balance | $200-$350 |
| Full HVAC cleaning (coil, blower, air handler) | $400-$800 |
How do I know my HVAC system needs cleaning, not just the ducts?
If your ducts were cleaned recently but rooms still heat or cool unevenly, the blower or coil is likely clogged with debris the duct cleaning didn’t reach. We inspect these components with a written scope before quoting. Call (678) 679-7540 for a free estimate.
Can HVAC cleaning fix the humidity smell in my Alpharetta attic system?
Yes, if the odor comes from microbial growth on the coil or in the condensate pan; we clean and treat those surfaces specifically. Persistent smells from degraded duct liner require duct repair or replacement instead. Call (678) 679-7540 and we’ll scope the source.
Air Quality & Sanitizing in Alpharetta
Air quality and sanitizing in Alpharetta targets the microbial and allergen load that North Fulton County’s climate drives into residential HVAC systems. The combination of heavy spring pollen, six-month cooling seasons, and humidity-cycled attic ductwork creates conditions for mold and bacteria growth that standard filtration doesn’t address. We treat these problems with documented application protocols and provide before-and-after photos of treated surfaces. Our Air Quality & Sanitizing hub covers equipment specifications in detail.
Mold Treatment
Signs you need it
Musty odor when AC first cycles on, visible discoloration at registers, or family members with unexplained respiratory symptoms that worsen at home.
What it costs in Alpharetta
Mold treatment for residential duct systems typically ranges $300-$600 per system in Alpharetta.
How we do it
We apply EPA-registered antimicrobial through the duct runs using a fogging or coating system, treat the plenum and coil surfaces, and photograph all treated areas.
UV Light Installation
Signs you need it
Recurring mold despite cleaning, or a household member with compromised immunity who needs continuous microbial suppression at the coil.
What it costs in Alpharetta
UV-C light installation at the coil or air handler typically ranges $400-$800 in Alpharetta.
How we do it
We mount a UV-C lamp upstream of the coil with a sight-glass for verification, wire to the air handler’s 24V circuit, and photograph lamp placement and coverage.
What Air Quality & Sanitizing Costs in Alpharetta
| Item | Typical range in Alpharetta |
|---|---|
| Mold treatment (per system) | $300-$600 |
| UV-C light installation | $400-$800 |
| Combined sanitizing and UV install | $600-$1,200 |
Does mold treatment kill all mold in my Alpharetta HVAC system?
Our treatment kills active growth on accessible surfaces and suppresses recurrence, but severely degraded duct liner with embedded mold requires physical replacement. We photograph the condition and specify which approach applies before any work starts. Call (678) 679-7540 for a free inspection.
How long does UV light take to work in Alpharetta’s humid climate?
UV-C at the coil begins suppressing microbial growth immediately, but noticeable odor reduction typically takes 48-72 hours as existing biofilm breaks down. We position lamps for full coil coverage and verify placement with photos. Call (678) 679-7540 for specifics on your system.
