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 Dunwoody, GA
HVAC cleaning in Dunwoody typically costs $350-$650 for a complete system, with most jobs scheduled within a week and completed in a single day. The 1970s and 1980s housing stock that dominates Georgetown, Dunwoody Club Forest, and Wynterhall presents conditions we don’t see in newer Atlanta suburbs: original flex duct and fiberglass-lined metal ductwork now 40-50 years old, hammered every spring by oak and pine pollen loads that accelerate debris accumulation inside the air distribution system. Call (678) 679-7540 for a written price before any work starts.
Why Dunwoody Homes Are Different
Dunwoody’s core neighborhoods were built during the 1970s and 1980s Atlanta suburban boom, and a large share still run on original ductwork configurations. The fiberglass interior lining common in that era degrades with age and traps particulates in ways that smooth-wall modern duct does not. Our crews working the Georgetown and Dunwoody Club Drive corridors regularly find split-level homes from the mid-1970s with return-air chases framed directly into wall cavities without sealed metal liners - those walls have been acting as unfiltered return ducts for decades, pulling in insulation fibers, rodent debris, and settled dust that no filter captured.
The local climate compounds this. Dunwoody sits in Georgia’s humid subtropical zone, with summer attic temperatures exceeding 130°F and humidity that promotes condensation inside poorly insulated flex duct. That moisture, combined with the pollen infiltration from Dunwoody’s protected mature-tree canopy, creates conditions for microbial growth that newer, more open suburbs simply don’t experience. The renovation wave since the 2010s has also pushed drywall dust and construction debris into existing systems that owners may not realize need post-renovation attention.
Our Main Dunwoody Services
These are the three services Dunwoody homeowners call about most often.
Air Duct Cleaning in Dunwoody
We clean the complete air distribution system - supply and return duct runs, registers, and the plenum - using negative-pressure extraction with Rotobrush and Nikro equipment. In Dunwoody’s 1970s-era split-levels, we pay particular attention to return-air chases that may be drawing from wall cavities rather than sealed ductwork. Every job includes a Documented Photo Record of every run, before and after. Air Duct Cleaning in Dunwoody
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Dunwoody
Dryer vent blockages are a leading cause of house fires, and Dunwoody’s mature tree cover means exterior vent caps collect debris faster than in cleared developments. We remove lint buildup from the dryer connection through the exterior termination, verify airflow with a meter, and photograph the before and after condition. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Dunwoody
Duct Repair & Sealing in Dunwoody
Aging flex duct in Dunwoody’s original housing stock develops leaks at seams and connections that bleed conditioned air into attics and crawl spaces. We seal accessible joints with mastic and metal tape, replace collapsed or deteriorated sections, and document the repair with photos. Duct Repair & Sealing in Dunwoody

AfterHVAC Cleaning in Dunwoody
HVAC cleaning in Dunwoody addresses the accumulated load in systems that have been running since the Carter or Reagan administrations. The combination of original fiberglass-lined ductwork, high pollen infiltration from preserved tree canopy, and 130°F attic temperatures creates a specific maintenance profile: evaporator coils coated with organic debris, blowers imbalanced by dust buildup, and condensers struggling with reduced airflow. We document every component with before-and-after photography as part of our standard deliverable. HVAC Cleaning covers the full scope of what we clean and inspect.
Evaporator Coil Cleaning
Signs you need it
Ice buildup on the coil, reduced airflow from registers, or the system running continuously without reaching set temperature.
What it costs in Dunwoody
Evaporator coil cleaning in Dunwoody typically runs $180-$320.
How we do it
We access the coil through the plenum, apply foaming cleaner, rinse with low-pressure water, and photograph the before and after condition.
Blower Cleaning
Signs you need it
Vibration or noise from the air handler, weak airflow despite the motor running, or dust puffing from registers at startup.
What it costs in Dunwoody
Blower cleaning in Dunwoody typically runs $150-$280.
How we do it
We remove the blower assembly, clean the wheel and housing with compressed air and solvent, balance the assembly, and reinstall with torque verification.
What HVAC Cleaning Costs in Dunwoody
| Item | Typical range in Dunwoody |
|---|---|
| Evaporator coil cleaning | $180-$320 |
| Blower cleaning | $150-$280 |
| Condenser cleaning | $120-$220 |
How do I know if my HVAC needs cleaning or just my ducts?
If you have weak airflow, temperature imbalance between rooms, or ice on the coil, the HVAC components need attention beyond duct cleaning alone. Call (678) 679-7540 and we’ll inspect both systems and put a written price to each option.
Can HVAC cleaning fix the humidity problems in my Dunwoody home?
Cleaning restores designed airflow, which helps the system dehumidify properly, but it won’t fix undersized equipment or duct leaks that need sealing. We photograph and document what we find so you can see whether cleaning alone will solve it.
Air Quality & Sanitizing in Dunwoody
Air quality and sanitizing in Dunwoody targets the microbial growth that thrives in the combination of old fiberglass duct lining, high spring pollen loads, and summer humidity that pushes attic systems past 130°F. The same wall-cavity return chases we find in Georgetown and Dunwoody Club Forest pull in decades of organic material that feeds mold and bacteria colonies inside the air distribution system. Air Quality & Sanitizing covers our full treatment protocols.
Mold Treatment
Signs you need it
Musty odor when the system runs, visible growth on registers or in the plenum, or family members with worsening allergy symptoms indoors.
What it costs in Dunwoody
Mold treatment in Dunwoody typically runs $400-$750 depending on affected duct runs.
How we do it
We apply EPA-registered antimicrobial through the duct system, treat the plenum and accessible surfaces, and verify with post-treatment photography.
UV Light Installation
Signs you need it
Recurring mold after cleaning, chronic musty odor, or a system in a dark, humid crawl space or attic with poor ventilation.
What it costs in Dunwoody
UV light installation in Dunwoody typically runs $350-$600 including the lamp and power supply.
How we do it
We mount a Honeywell or Aprilaire UV lamp in the supply plenum, wire to the blower circuit for automatic operation, and document placement with photos.
What Air Quality & Sanitizing Costs in Dunwoody
| Item | Typical range in Dunwoody |
|---|---|
| Mold treatment | $400-$750 |
| UV light installation | $350-$600 |
| Bacteria sanitizing | $300-$550 |
Does UV light actually prevent mold in Dunwoody’s humid climate?
UV light inhibits mold growth on the coil and in the plenum where it’s installed, but it does not clean existing debris or treat the full duct run. We install it as a maintenance tool after cleaning, not as a substitute for it.
How do I know the mold treatment worked?
We deliver before-and-after photos of treated surfaces and a written scope of what was applied where; for odor issues, we verify reduction with the homeowner before leaving the site.
