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.

HVAC cleaning in Dunwoody typically runs $400-$650 for a full system, with air quality and sanitizing services adding $200-$450 depending on scope. Call (678) 693-5322 for a written estimate before any work begins.
Most Dunwoody homes were built between the late 1960s and mid-1980s, meaning their original fiberglass duct board has now spent 40 to 50 years in Georgia’s humidity. The preserved hardwood canopy that makes Georgetown and Dunwoody Club Forest desirable also produces pollen loads that accelerate biological buildup inside aging ductwork. Our crews see the result on camera: delaminated duct liners, debris-choked evaporator coils, and supply plenums coated with material no filter upgrade can reach. We document every run with before-and-after photos and deliver a written price before touching a single panel, per Haven Standard Clause 1.
Why Dunwoody Homes Are Different
Dunwoody’s tree-preservation ordinances have kept an unusually dense oak, pine, and sweet gum canopy intact over neighborhoods like Dunwoody Village and Georgetown. From March through May, this canopy concentrates pollen directly over residential return-air intakes. The unrelenting heat from late May through September keeps systems running almost continuously, pulling humid, pollen-laden air through ductwork that was never designed for that load.
The housing stock compounds the problem. Most single-family homes retain original fiberglass duct board or early-generation flex duct that has exceeded its functional lifespan. After 40-plus years, interior duct liners commonly show delamination, micro-tears, and heavy biological buildup. In Dunwoody Club Forest, we regularly pull panels where the foil-and-fiberglass liner has fully separated from the rigid substrate, meaning dislodged glass fibers and decades of trapped debris enter the supply stream with every cycle. No HEPA filter upgrade fixes this without duct replacement or encapsulation.
Our Main Dunwoody Services

Air Duct Cleaning in Dunwoody
We clean every duct run, register, and the supply and return plenums with negative-pressure extraction and rotary brush systems.

Dryer Vent Cleaning in Dunwoody

Duct Repair & Sealing in Dunwoody
Original fiberglass duct board in Dunwoody homes often requires encapsulation or partial replacement once delamination begins. We seal accessible leaks with mastic and metal tape, and replace failed sections with modern flex duct or sheet metal. Duct Repair & Sealing in Dunwoody

BeforeAfterHVAC Cleaning in Dunwoody
HVAC cleaning in Dunwoody addresses the accumulated load in systems that have run continuously through 40-to-50-year-old ductwork. The combination of original fiberglass duct board, heavy pollen from the preserved tree canopy, and near-constant summer operation creates a specific failure pattern: restricted airflow across the evaporator coil, blower wheel caked with biological debris, and condensate pans supporting active microbial growth. HVAC Cleaning from CleanRun includes full-system photography and a written scope before work starts.
Evaporator Coil Cleaning
Signs you need it
Ice buildup on refrigerant lines, weak airflow from registers, or musty odor when the AC cycles on in Dunwoody’s humid summer months.
What it costs in Dunwoody
Evaporator coil cleaning in Dunwoody typically runs $180-$320 for accessible units, with price set in writing before work begins.
How we do it
We remove the coil access panel, apply foaming cleaner designed for aluminum fins, rinse with low-pressure water to protect the drain pan, and photograph the coil surface before and after treatment.
Blower Cleaning
Signs you need it
Vibration or noise from the air handler, uneven heating or cooling between rooms, or visible dust puffing from registers when the system starts.
What it costs in Dunwoody
Blower assembly cleaning in Dunwoody typically runs $150-$280, with the exact figure written on the scope before any panel comes off.
How we do it
We remove the blower wheel and housing, clean blades and motor housing with compressed air and solvent-safe brushes, balance the assembly on reinstallation, and document with before-and-after photos.
What HVAC Cleaning Costs in Dunwoody
| Item | Typical range in Dunwoody |
|---|---|
| Evaporator coil cleaning | $180-$320 |
| Blower assembly cleaning | $150-$280 |
| Full system HVAC cleaning | $400-$650 |
How do I know the HVAC cleaning was actually done?
Every duct run and component is photographed before and after, and the photo record is delivered as part of the standard job file. You see the debris that was removed, not just a verbal report.
Why does my Dunwoody home need HVAC cleaning more often than newer construction?
Original duct board from the 1970s and 1980s sheds liner material and traps debris that modern duct systems do not, while Dunwoody’s dense tree canopy produces pollen loads that accelerate buildup. Call (678) 693-5322 for a written assessment of your system.
Air Quality & Sanitizing in Dunwoody
Air quality and sanitizing in Dunwoody targets the microbial growth that thrives in 40-year-old duct systems running through humid summers with heavy pollen loads. The same delaminated duct board that sheds fibers also traps organic material, creating conditions inside the plenum and branch runs where mold and bacteria colonize beyond what standard cleaning reaches. Air Quality & Sanitizing from CleanRun includes EPA-registered treatments applied with documented coverage and photo verification.
Mold Treatment
Signs you need it
Musty odor when the HVAC cycles, visible discoloration at registers, or recent water intrusion in Dunwoody’s older homes with original condensate management.
What it costs in Dunwoody
Targeted mold treatment in Dunwoody typically runs $250-$450 per affected zone, with full-system pricing written before application.
How we do it
We apply an EPA-registered antimicrobial to all interior duct surfaces using a fogging system that reaches past the first elbow, then verify coverage with UV flashlight inspection and photograph every treated run.
UV Light Installation
Signs you need it
Recurring microbial growth after cleaning, persistent musty odor, or family members with respiratory sensitivity to Dunwoody’s high pollen environment.
What it costs in Dunwoody
UV-C light installation in Dunwoody typically runs $350-$600 including the lamp, housing, and electrical connection to the air handler.
How we do it
We mount a UV-C lamp in the supply plenum downstream of the evaporator coil, wire to the blower circuit for automatic operation, and show the installed position in your photo record.
What Air Quality & Sanitizing Costs in Dunwoody
| Item | Typical range in Dunwoody |
|---|---|
| Mold treatment (per zone) | $250-$450 |
| UV light installation | $350-$600 |
| Full air quality package | $400-$850 |
Is the sanitizing treatment safe for pets and children?
We use EPA-registered antimicrobials rated for occupied spaces, applied when the home is vacant, with a documented re-entry time provided in writing before we leave.
How long does UV light installation take in a Dunwoody home?
Most installations finish in two to three hours, including mounting, electrical connection, and testing, with the written price agreed before work starts. Call (678) 693-5322 to schedule.
