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 Duluth, GA
HVAC cleaning in Duluth typically runs $380-$620 for a standard two-system home, with most jobs scheduled within 3-5 business days. The city’s concentration of 1990s-2000s subdivision homes with aging flex ductwork and Georgia’s heavy pollen loads means Duluth homeowners see faster debris accumulation than most metro Atlanta markets. Call (678) 693-5322 for a written estimate before any work begins.
Why Duluth Homes Are Different
Duluth’s residential landscape was shaped by Gwinnett County’s explosive growth between 1990 and 2010, leaving a narrow construction window that produced thousands of large two-story homes with identical builder-grade flexible duct systems now entering their third decade. In Georgia’s humid subtropical climate, that aging flex duct develops interior condensation during summer months when dew points climb into the upper 60s and 70s, creating conditions for biological growth and sagging sections that trap debris.
The pollen corridor running through Gwinnett County loads return-air systems with fine tree particulate far faster than comparable cities, and technicians working the Berkeley Lake Road and Sugarloaf Parkway corridors regularly find partially collapsed flex duct at elbow joints after 25 years of thermal cycling. That combination - complex multi-zone homes, degraded original ductwork, and high bio-load - makes Duluth cleaning jobs consistently longer and more involved than in older or smaller-home markets.
Our Main Duluth Services
Most Duluth homeowners who call us start with one of these three services, each quoted with a written price before work begins.
Air Duct Cleaning in Duluth
We clean every duct run, plenum, and register with negative-pressure extraction and rotary brushing, photographing the interior before and after each section. In Duluth’s 2,500-4,500 sq ft subdivision homes, that typically means 15-25 individual runs across two or more HVAC zones, with jobs running longer than average due to the extensive flex duct networks common here. Air Duct Cleaning in Duluth includes the full Documented Photo Record as standard.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Duluth
Dryer vent blockages are a leading cause of house fires, and Duluth’s larger homes often have long vent runs through interior walls or to second-floor laundry rooms where lint accumulates out of sight. We clear the full run from appliance to termination, test airflow with an anemometer, and photograph the vent interior before and after. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Duluth is quoted as a flat system price, never per foot.
Duct Repair & Sealing in Duluth
Many Duluth homeowners who book cleaning discover the real problem is duct integrity - collapsed flex sections, separated joints, or deteriorated sealing tape that leaks conditioned air into attics and crawl spaces. We repair or replace damaged sections with metalized flex or rigid duct as appropriate, then seal with mastic and mesh. Duct Repair & Sealing in Duluth includes a written scope and photo documentation.

BeforeAfterHVAC Cleaning in Duluth
HVAC cleaning in Duluth addresses the components that move and condition air but sit outside the duct network itself - coils, blowers, condensers, and heat exchangers - where Georgia’s humidity and pollen combine to choke efficiency and degrade air quality. In the city’s 20-30-year-old subdivision homes, these components often have never been professionally cleaned, and the HVAC Cleaning process we use reveals exactly what has accumulated.
Evaporator Coil Cleaning
Signs you need it
Ice formation on the coil, weak airflow from registers, or a musty odor when the AC cycles on in Duluth’s humid summers.
What it costs in Duluth
Evaporator coil cleaning in Duluth typically ranges from $180-$340 for accessible A-coils, with price depending on whether the coil requires removal for cleaning.
How we do it
We access the coil through the plenum or sealed panel, apply foaming cleaner, rinse with low-pressure water, and capture runoff with a drain pan vacuum.
Blower Cleaning
Signs you need it
Vibration or noise from the air handler, uneven airflow between rooms, or dust blowing from registers immediately after filter changes.
What it costs in Duluth
Blower cleaning in Duluth typically ranges from $160-$280 for standard residential blowers, with variable-speed or ECM motors at the higher end.
How we do it
We remove the blower assembly, clean the wheel and housing with compressed air and solvent, balance the wheel, and reinstall with fresh gaskets.
What HVAC Cleaning Costs in Duluth
| Item | Typical range in Duluth |
|---|---|
| Evaporator coil cleaning | $180-$340 |
| Blower cleaning | $160-$280 |
| Condenser cleaning | $140-$220 |
How do I know if my HVAC components need cleaning or just my ducts?
If your ducts are clean but rooms still feel stuffy, the AC runs constantly, or you smell must when cooling cycles on, the problem is likely in the coil or blower, not the ductwork. Call (678) 693-5322 and we’ll inspect both systems and put a written price to each option.
Can HVAC cleaning fix the humidity problems common in Duluth homes?
Cleaning a dirty evaporator coil restores its ability to dehumidify, but it cannot fix duct leaks or an undersized system; we photograph the coil condition and note any structural issues in the written scope. Call (678) 693-5322 for an inspection and written estimate.
Air Quality & Sanitizing in Duluth
Air quality and sanitizing in Duluth targets the biological load that thrives in Georgia’s humid subtropical climate, particularly inside the aging flex duct systems that dominate the city’s 1990s-2000s subdivisions. Where standard cleaning removes debris, sanitizing addresses mold, bacteria, and persistent odors that recur because of condensation inside degraded ductwork, and the Air Quality & Sanitizing process we document with before-and-after photos shows exactly what was treated.
Mold Treatment
Signs you need it
Visible discoloration at registers, a persistent earthy odor when the system runs, or recent water intrusion in the attic or crawl space.
What it costs in Duluth
Mold treatment in Duluth typically ranges from $280-$520 for localized application, with whole-system fogging at the higher end depending on total duct footage.
How we do it
We apply an EPA-registered botanical fungistat to affected duct runs with a mechanical fogger, let it dwell per manufacturer specification, then verify with UV fluorescence photography.
UV Light Installation
Signs you need it
Repeated mold recurrence after cleaning, family members with allergy symptoms that worsen seasonally, or a coil that needs cleaning every year.
What it costs in Duluth
UV light installation in Duluth typically ranges from $320-$580 for a single lamp at the coil, with dual-lamp systems or remote ballasts at the higher end.
How we do it
We mount a UV-C lamp in the supply plenum aimed at the coil, wire to the air handler’s 24V circuit, and include the first replacement bulb in the written scope.
What Air Quality & Sanitizing Costs in Duluth
| Item | Typical range in Duluth |
|---|---|
| Mold treatment | $280-$520 |
| UV light installation | $320-$580 |
| Bacteria sanitizing | $240-$420 |
Does sanitizing kill mold inside flex duct, or just on the surface?
The botanical treatment we use penetrates porous flex duct lining and kills active growth, but collapsed or water-damaged duct must be replaced; we photograph the interior and note replacement needs in the written scope. Call (678) 693-5322 for an inspection and exact quote.
How long does the mold treatment smell last?
The botanical solution has a mild thyme-oil scent that dissipates within 24-48 hours in a normally ventilated Duluth home; we run the system on fan-only mode before leaving to clear residual odor. Call (678) 693-5322 to schedule.
