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.

AfterHoneywell Air Quality & Sanitizing in Cumming: What to Know First
We provide independent Honeywell air quality and sanitizing services in Cumming, with most jobs scheduled within a few business days and completed in a single visit. Whole-system sanitizing for Honeywell-equipped homes typically runs $380-$620 depending on the configuration, and we deliver a written price before any work starts - Haven Standard Clause 1, no exceptions. This page is for Honeywell owners in Cumming who need mold treatment, bacteria sanitizing, odor removal, UV light installation, air purifier installation, or allergen reduction and want a technician who knows the difference between a TrueCLEAN and a F100. Call (678) 693-5322 for a free estimate.
How Honeywell Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- TrueCLEAN Electronic Air Cleaners lose their charge plates to corrosion. The aluminum collection cells in the TrueCLEAN series (FGC16A, FGC20A) oxidize faster in Cumming’s humid subtropical climate, especially in homes near Lake Lanier where the summer air carries extra moisture. We remove the cells, photograph the corrosion pattern, and either restore with manufacturer-spec cleaning or recommend a charge-plate replacement if the metal has thinned beyond tolerance.
- F100 Media Air Cleaners develop bypass gaps around the filter frame. The F100F2025 and F100F2030 units use a 4-inch media cartridge that can shift in the track after repeated filter changes, creating a gap where unfiltered air slips past. Our crews check the frame rails for wear and install a fresh media seal when the gap exceeds 1/8 inch - a detail most installers miss because the filter looks seated from the front.
- UV2400U UV Systems suffer ballast degradation from attic heat cycling. Cumming’s attics routinely hit 140°F in July, and the UV2400U’s electronic ballast is mounted in the plenum where that heat radiates upward. Ballast failure shows up as a working bulb that still won’t strike. We test lamp output with a UV-C meter, not just visual inspection, and replace the ballast with an OEM-grade unit rated for the thermal load.
- F300 Electronic Air Cleaners arc and snap when the pre-filter clogs. The F300E1019’s ionizing wires need clean airflow to maintain the 8,000-volt field; a clogged pre-filter raises humidity at the wire surface and causes intermittent arcing. We document the pre-filter condition with a photo, replace it, and test the power supply output under load - arcing that persists indicates a failing transformer, not just maintenance.
- Whole-home dehumidifiers (DR65, DR90) grow microbial biofilm on the condensate pan. Honeywell’s TrueDRY series runs constantly in Cumming’s spring and fall shoulder seasons, and the shallow condensate pan doesn’t self-clean. We treat the pan with a non-foaming antimicrobial, check the drain trap for proper venting (a code requirement in Forsyth County that gets ignored), and photograph the pan condition before and after.
Our Honeywell Air Quality & Sanitizing Process
- 1
System identification and written scope. We record the Honeywell model, serial, and install date, then inspect the full air handler and duct runs with a borescope camera. The camera doesn’t have an opinion - it just shows you what’s in there. You get the photos before we touch a fitting.
- 2
Contamination assessment. We sample visible growth for type identification where indicated, measure particulate load with a laser counter, and check for bypass airflow that would undermine any sanitizing work.
- 3
Written price delivery. Haven Standard Clause 1: the full scope and price are presented in writing before work begins. No per-vent add-ons, no “we found another issue” surprises.
- 4
Source removal and mechanical cleaning. We use negative-pressure extraction with Rotobrush contact agitation on the duct runs, then treat the plenum and coil with manufacturer-compatible antimicrobial. Honeywell electronic air cleaners are removed and cleaned separately - never sprayed in place.
- 5
Component-specific sanitizing or UV install. For UV light installations, we position the lamp downstream of the coil per Honeywell’s own guidance for the DR90 and TrueCLEAN paired systems. For media cleaners, we install fresh filters and verify seal integrity.
- 6
Post-work test and documentation. We run the system, measure static pressure and airflow at the registers, and deliver your Documented Photo Record - every duct run, before and after, as we’ve done since 2013.
BeforeAfterWhat Honeywell Air Quality & Sanitizing Costs in Cumming
| Service | Typical Range | What Moves the Price |
|---|---|---|
| Whole-system duct sanitizing (Honeywell-equipped) | $380-$620 | Number of duct runs, presence of mold, access difficulty in crawl spaces or attics |
| UV-C lamp installation (Honeywell-compatible) | $290-$450 | Single vs. dual-lamp setup, ballast replacement needed, plenum modification |
| Electronic air cleaner restoration (F300/TrueCLEAN) | $180-$340 | Cell count, corrosion severity, pre-filter replacement |
| Media cleaner service with seal repair (F100) | $140-$220 | Filter size, frame rail condition, bypass gap severity |
| Dehumidifier pan treatment and drain service (DR65/DR90) | $160-$280 | Biofilm extent, drain line length, trap reconstruction |
These are whole-system prices, not per-vent teasers. We also service Lennox, Trane, and Carrier systems with the same written-price protocol. Call (678) 693-5322 for an exact quote - estimates are free.
Why Cumming Homeowners Call CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Cumming for Honeywell Work
We’ve been running jobs across Cumming since 2013, including plenty of calls in the Vickery subdivision where the two-story layouts tend to hide a surprising amount of debris in the return-air trunk lines. Tomas Reyes and our crew know Honeywell’s product line from hands-on work, not catalog browsing - we carry the common F100 and TrueCLEAN media sizes on the truck, and we know which UV lamp spec the DR90 actually needs versus what’s listed on the box. Every job gets the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing, and every technician is background-checked and uniformed under Haven Standard Clause 3: Verified Crews. The photo record is standard, not an upsell. If you have a competitor’s written estimate, we’ll put our number next to it - free second opinion, no obligation.
FAQs
No, professional cleaning and sanitizing does not void Honeywell’s product warranty, provided the work is performed by a qualified technician who uses manufacturer-compatible materials and does not modify electrical components. As an independent Honeywell service provider, we follow Honeywell’s published service guidelines and document our methods in your job record. Call (678) 693-5322 if you need warranty documentation for your files.
OEM Honeywell UV lamps guarantee the exact UV-C output and socket fit for your model, but several aftermarket manufacturers produce lamps to the same 254-nanometer spec at lower cost. We stock both, explain the trade-off in writing, and install whichever you choose - we do not markup parts, and Haven Standard Clause 1 requires that you see the price before we proceed.
You receive a Documented Photo Record of every duct run, the plenum, and the coil condition before and after service, plus a written scope of what was applied and where. Since 2013, we’ve delivered this on every job. The photo record is not an extra - it’s part of the standard deliverable, and it’s how we show our work instead of talking about it.
Persistent odor after sanitizing usually indicates a source we haven’t reached yet: a blocked condensate drain breeding bacteria, a dirty evaporator coil upstream of the cleaner, or debris in the return plenum. We investigate these systematically and add the finding to your written scope with a revised price before any additional work. Call (678) 693-5322 to schedule a diagnostic.
Most Cumming homes benefit from whole-system sanitizing every three to five years, but homes near construction zones, with pets, or with occupants who have respiratory sensitivities may need it every two years. The DR65 and DR90 dehumidifiers should have their pans checked annually due to our humid climate. We don’t sell maintenance contracts - we photograph the condition and let you decide based on what the camera shows.
