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.

AfterAbatement Technologies HVAC Cleaning in Cumming: What to Know First
We provide independent Abatement Technologies HVAC cleaning in Cumming for homeowners who need their evaporator coils, blowers, condensers, air handlers, and heat exchangers cleaned without voiding manufacturer warranties. A typical Abatement Technologies system cleaning runs $280-$520 depending on which components need attention, and we deliver a written price before touching the unit. Most Cumming jobs are scheduled within three to five business days, with the full documented photo record delivered before we leave. This page is for Abatement Technologies owners in Vickery, Windermere, and the surrounding Forsyth County subdivisions who want to know exactly what will be done, what it will cost, and what they’ll have in writing when the crew pulls away. Call (678) 693-5322 for a free estimate.
How Abatement Technologies Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- HVAC500i series evaporator coil fouling in Cumming’s pollen-heavy springs. The HVAC500i’s A-frame coil design traps oak and pine particulate between the fins more aggressively than sloped-coil competitors. We’ve pulled 2-inch matting off these units in April that restricted airflow by 40%. Our fix: full negative-pressure extraction (suction cleaning that pulls debris outward rather than driving it deeper), followed by foamed cleaner rated for aluminum microchannel coils, with before-and-after photos of every fin row.
- HVAC2000 blower motor housing grease accumulation from kitchen returns. The HVAC2000’s direct-drive blower runs at higher RPM than belt-driven alternatives, which aerosolizes cooking grease that settles on the squirrel cage and housing. The result is a burnt-oil smell when heat kicks on, often misdiagnosed as a cracked heat exchanger. We remove the full blower assembly, clean the housing with solvent-safe for the powder-coated steel, and photograph the cage imbalance before and after.
- Portable HEPA-AIRE PAS2400 condenser coil corrosion from Cumming’s clay-heavy soil splashback. The PAS2400’s compact condenser sits low in many crawl-space and slab configurations here, where red Georgia clay splashes up during hard rains and packs between fins. That clay holds moisture against the aluminum, accelerating galvanic corrosion where the copper line sets meet the coil header. We clean with low-pressure foaming agent and apply a corrosion inhibitor rated for mixed-metal coils, documenting fin count and any degradation for the customer’s record.
- Abatement Technologies air handler cabinet mold in high-humidity basements. The air handler’s insulated cabinet - particularly on older PAS and HEPA-AIRE lines - can harbor mold behind the insulation liner where homeowners never see it. The musty smell persists even after duct cleaning because the source is the handler, not the ductwork. We remove the liner where accessible, treat with EPA-registered sanitizer, and show the customer the photo of what was growing behind their filter rack.
- HVAC500i heat exchanger soot staining from incomplete combustion. The HVAC500i’s tubular heat exchanger has tighter radius bends than Carrier or Trane equivalents, which can create cold spots if burner alignment drifts. Soot builds at the third and fourth tube bends, visible only with a borescope. We scope every heat exchanger we open, clean with soft-bristle rotary tools that won’t score the steel, and flag any cracking or metal fatigue for the customer’s written record.
Our Abatement Technologies HVAC Cleaning Process
- 1
Systematic diagnostic with photo documentation. We pull the filter, open the cabinet, and photograph every component before touching it. Haven Standard Clause 1 requires the written price before work starts; we can’t write an accurate scope without seeing what’s actually in there.
- 2
Component-specific cleaning protocol selection. Abatement Technologies coils use aluminum microchannel construction in newer lines, copper tube-and-fin in older units. The cleaning agent and pressure rating change accordingly. We match the protocol to the equipment, not the other way around.
- 3
OEM-spec parts versus quality aftermarket. For gaskets, cabinet fasteners, and drain pan fittings, we stock Abatement Technologies-compatible hardware. For consumables like coil cleaner and corrosion inhibitor, we use manufacturer-specified chemical families from Guardsman and Honeywell - same performance, documented safety data sheet on file.
- 4
Negative-pressure extraction and mechanical cleaning. We don’t blow debris around with a shop vac. The Rotobrush and Nikro equipment we run creates controlled suction at the component, capturing what we loosen rather than redistributing it through your supply ducts.
- 5
Post-cleaning operational test and photo record delivery. We run the system through a full heat and cool cycle, measure temperature rise and static pressure, and deliver the before-and-after photo record to the customer before the crew packs up. The 365-Day Done Right Promise goes into writing at this stage.
BeforeAfterWhat Abatement Technologies HVAC Cleaning Costs in Cumming
| Service | Typical Range | What Moves the Price |
|---|---|---|
| Evaporator coil cleaning (HVAC500i, HVAC2000) | $280-$380 | Coil accessibility (attic vs. closet), fin corrosion requiring treatment |
| Blower assembly removal and cleaning | $180-$260 | Motor type (direct-drive vs. variable-speed), grease severity |
| Condenser coil cleaning (PAS2400, outdoor units) | $160-$240 | Fin density, clay/soil encrustation depth, corrosion inhibitor application |
| Full air handler cabinet cleaning and sanitizing | $320-$520 | Insulation liner condition, mold remediation scope, cabinet size |
| Heat exchanger inspection and cleaning | $240-$340 | Borescope access difficulty, soot volume, any crack documentation required |
These are whole-system prices, not per-vent or per-component teaser rates. The price we write is the price you pay. Factors that increase cost: attic access requiring additional safety setup, systems neglected beyond five years, or secondary damage (corroded drain pan, failed gasket) discovered during cleaning. We show you what we find and write a revised scope before proceeding.

Why Cumming Homeowners Call CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Cumming for Abatement Technologies Work
We’ve been running Abatement Technologies jobs across Cumming since 2013, including enough calls in Vickery to know that the two-story return-air trunk lines in those builds hide debris the main floor owner never suspects. Tomas Reyes and our crew document conditions with a camera before touching a single fitting - the camera doesn’t have an opinion, it just shows you what’s in there. Every technician is background-checked and uniformed under Haven Standard Clause 3: Verified Crews. We’re also fluent in Lennox, Trane, and Carrier systems for households running mixed-brand setups. The 365-Day Done Right Promise, the written price before work starts, and the documented photo record aren’t marketing language - they’re clauses in the job paperwork you sign and keep.
FAQs
No, if the work is performed by a qualified technician using manufacturer-compatible procedures and no disassembly beyond standard maintenance access. As an independent Abatement Technologies service provider, we document our cleaning protocols and chemical specifications so you have a record if warranty questions arise. We do not alter factory settings, remove tamper-evident seals, or use tools that damage fin stock. Call (678) 693-5322 if you need documentation for a warranty claim.
You receive a Documented Photo Record of every component we accessed - evaporator coil fins, blower cage, condenser, heat exchanger borescope images - with timestamps. This is standard on every CleanRun job, not an add-on. If a company hands you a verbal summary and a receipt, you paid for a promise, not a record.
Replacement makes sense when the cabinet is rusted through, the heat exchanger is cracked, or repair costs exceed 40% of replacement value. For coil fouling, blower grease, or cabinet mold on otherwise sound equipment, cleaning restores performance at one-fifth to one-tenth the replacement cost. We’ll show you the photos and write both options with prices if you’re uncertain. Call (678) 693-5322 for an honest assessment.
Every three to five years for most Cumming homes, sooner if you have pets, run the fan continuously, or live near construction or agricultural dust. The HVAC500i’s dense fin pitch and Cumming’s spring pollen load mean coil fouling accelerates faster here than in drier climates. We inspect and advise; we don’t sell maintenance plans with automatic scheduling.
We stock compatible gaskets, fasteners, drain fittings, and cabinet hardware for common Abatement Technologies lines. For proprietary electronic components or control boards, we source through standard HVAC supply channels with typical two- to five-day lead times. We never substitute uncertified parts, and we write the source and specification into your job record. If we discover a needed part during cleaning, we stop, photograph the condition, and present a written revised scope before ordering.
