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.

Why Duluth Homes Are Different
Duluth’s residential core was built out almost entirely during Gwinnett County’s explosive growth of the mid-1980s through early 2000s. The dominant housing stock is now 20-35 years old with original builder-grade flexible ductwork routed through unconditioned attic spaces. That combination - aging flex duct baking through decades of Georgia summers in 130°F+ attics - means air duct cleaning jobs in Duluth disproportionately uncover sagged, separated, or collapsed duct runs.
In subdivisions along the Sugarloaf and Pleasant Hill Road corridors, technicians frequently open attic access panels to find original 1990s flex duct that has separated at the wye connections. The system has been pulling raw attic air - fiberglass particles, rodent debris, extreme heat - directly into the home for years without the homeowner knowing. Duluth’s humid subtropical climate drives six or more months of continuous cooling-season operation, constantly pulling warm, humid air through ductwork and creating ideal conditions for mold and microbial buildup. The area’s dense pine and oak canopy also means unusually high seasonal pollen loads that overwhelm standard filters and pack into duct interiors faster than in more urban markets.
Our Main Duluth Services
These are the three services Duluth homeowners call about most often.
Air Duct Cleaning in Duluth
We clean every duct run with negative-pressure extraction, photographing the interior before and after. In Duluth, we regularly find separated flex duct at wye connections that requires repair before cleaning can be effective. Air Duct Cleaning in Duluth includes the full photo record as standard.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Duluth
Dryer vent cleaning removes lint buildup from the transition duct through the exterior termination. Duluth’s mature tree canopy means exterior vents often collect debris that restricts airflow and creates fire risk. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Duluth includes airflow testing before and after.
Duct Repair & Sealing in Duluth
We repair separated flex duct, replace collapsed sections, and seal leaks with mastic and metal-backed tape. Most Duluth homes built 1985-2005 need some level of repair before cleaning delivers full results. Duct Repair & Sealing in Duluth includes written pricing before any work starts.

Before
AfterHVAC Cleaning in Duluth
HVAC cleaning in Duluth addresses the evaporator coil, blower assembly, condenser, and air handler - the components that move and condition air through ductwork. Because Duluth homes run cooling six or more months annually, coils and blowers accumulate biological growth and debris that standard filter changes cannot reach. HVAC Cleaning from CleanRun includes full-system photography and a written scope before work begins.
Evaporator Coil Cleaning
Signs you need it
Ice formation on refrigerant lines, weak airflow from registers, or musty odors when the AC cycles on.
What it costs in Duluth
Evaporator coil cleaning in Duluth typically runs $180-$340.
How we do it
We access the coil through the plenum - the large metal box that distributes conditioned air - apply foaming cleaner, rinse with low-pressure water, and photograph the result.
Blower Cleaning
Signs you need it
Vibration or noise from the air handler, uneven heating or cooling between rooms, or visible dust at supply registers.
What it costs in Duluth
Blower cleaning in Duluth typically runs $140-$260.
How we do it
We remove the blower assembly, clean the squirrel cage and motor housing with compressed air and solvent, balance the fan, and reinstall with torque-verified hardware.
What HVAC Cleaning Costs in Duluth
| Item | Typical range in Duluth |
|---|---|
| Evaporator coil cleaning | $180-$340 |
| Blower cleaning | $140-$260 |
| Full HVAC cleaning (coil + blower + air handler) | $380-$620 |
How do I know my HVAC needs cleaning, not just my ducts?
If rooms heat or cool unevenly, the blower runs louder than before, or you smell must when the system cycles, the problem is likely in the HVAC components, not the ductwork. Call (678) 679-7540 and we’ll scope the system to show you.
Can HVAC cleaning fix humidity problems in my Duluth home?
Dirty evaporator coils cannot dehumidify properly; cleaning restores the coil’s ability to condense moisture from Duluth’s humid air. If duct leaks are also present, we include those in the written scope.
Air Quality & Sanitizing in Duluth
Air quality and sanitizing in Duluth targets mold, bacteria, and pollen that accumulate in 20-35 year old duct systems during six months of continuous cooling operation. The combination of humid attic conditions and original builder-grade flex duct creates environments where microbial growth outpaces what standard cleaning removes. Air Quality & Sanitizing from CleanRun includes lab-verifiable treatment documentation and before-and-after photography.
Mold Treatment
Signs you need it
Visible black or green growth at registers, persistent musty odors, or family members with unexplained respiratory symptoms that worsen when the AC runs.
What it costs in Duluth
Mold treatment in Duluth typically runs $280-$480 per system.
How we do it
We apply EPA-registered antimicrobial through the duct system using a fogging manifold, with dwell time verified before airflow restoration.
UV Light Installation
Signs you need it
Recurring mold after cleaning, high humidity readings at the air handler, or a home in Duluth’s tree-canopied areas with limited attic ventilation.
What it costs in Duluth
UV light installation in Duluth typically runs $320-$580.
How we do it
We mount a UV-C lamp in the supply plenum, wire to the blower circuit for automatic operation, and verify irradiance with a meter.
What Air Quality & Sanitizing Costs in Duluth
| Item | Typical range in Duluth |
|---|---|
| Mold treatment | $280-$480 |
| UV light installation | $320-$580 |
| Full air quality package (treatment + UV) | $520-$920 |
Is mold in ducts common in Duluth specifically?
Yes - the combination of 20-35 year old flex duct, humid attics, and six-month cooling seasons makes Duluth one of the higher-incidence markets we serve for duct mold. We photograph and document every case.
Will sanitizing help with Duluth’s pollen season?
Sanitizing reduces biological loading in the duct system but does not replace filtration; we assess your current filter strategy as part of the written scope. Call (678) 679-7540 for a combined assessment.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Duluth
No permit is required for cleaning or minor sealing in Duluth or unincorporated Gwinnett County; structural duct modifications may need review. We handle any permit questions as part of the written scope if repair work extends beyond standard cleaning.
We typically schedule Duluth appointments within 3-5 business days, with flexibility for homes where separated duct has created urgent airflow or air quality concerns. Call (678) 679-7540 for current availability.
Most Duluth HOAs do not restrict interior mechanical work; some require notice for extended service vehicle presence. We provide written scope documentation on request for HOA records.
Every CleanRun job in Duluth concludes with a Documented Photo Record showing the interior of every duct run before and after work. You receive these images as a standard deliverable, not an add-on.
Low quotes typically cover only a superficial vacuuming of accessible registers, not full-system negative-pressure extraction with photography. We quote the actual work, put it in writing, and show you the results.
Given Duluth’s pollen load and aging flex duct inventory, we recommend inspection every 3-5 years and cleaning when photography shows significant buildup or when occupants report symptoms. Homes with separated duct need repair first.
Every job is backed by the 365-Day Done Right Promise - if the work is not right, we make it right, in writing on every invoice. Haven Standard Clause 5 applies to all Duluth appointments.
