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.

Why Duluth Homes Are Different
Duluth sits at the heart of Gwinnett County’s 1985-2005 suburban building boom, meaning the majority of its single-family homes contain aging flex-duct HVAC systems - now 20 to 40 years old - that were standard in Georgia tract construction of that era. These interior-fiber flex ducts sag, crimp at joints, and trap debris far more aggressively than rigid sheet metal, and in Gwinnett’s persistently humid summers they are prone to microbial growth in ways that neighboring counties with older metal-duct housing stock are not.
The Atlanta metro’s notoriously extreme spring pollen season - pine, oak, and cedar - hits Duluth hard, and homeowners running AC to escape heat pull massive pollen loads into return-air ducts beginning in February. Combined with Gwinnett County’s humidity regularly exceeding 70% in summer, uncleaned flex-duct systems become ideal environments for mold colonization on interior duct liner. Technicians working Duluth’s Sugarloaf-area subdivisions consistently find that builders of the mid-1990s era used long, unbraced flex-duct runs of 15-20 feet between collar and register - well beyond the 6-foot best practice - causing severe sag and 90-degree kinks that trap years of debris and cut airflow, making cleaning combined with re-support a necessary two-part job rather than a straightforward vacuum service.
Our Main Duluth Services
These are the three services Duluth homeowners call about most.
Air Duct Cleaning in Duluth
We clean the full duct system - supply and return runs, trunk lines, and plenums - using negative-pressure extraction with Rotobrush and Nikro equipment. In Duluth, we pay special attention to re-supporting sagging flex-duct runs before cleaning, since vacuuming a kinked duct without addressing the structural problem leaves the same restriction in place. Every job ends with a Documented Photo Record of every run. Air Duct Cleaning in Duluth is scheduled by system, not by vent count.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Duluth
Dryer vent blockages are a leading cause of house fires in Gwinnett County. We clean the full vent run from appliance to termination, test airflow with a manometer, and photograph the before and after. Duluth’s two-story colonial layouts often mean 25-foot vertical runs through interior walls - runs that lint accumulates in heavily and that standard brushes can’t fully clear without professional-grade equipment. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Duluth includes a written scope and price before work starts.
Duct Repair & Sealing in Duluth
We replace deteriorated flex duct, seal leaks with mastic and metal tape, and re-support sagging runs to restore designed airflow. Duluth’s 1990s-era flex-duct systems are now at or past their serviceable lifespan, with insulation breaking down and releasing fibers into the airstream. Our crews carry replacement flex duct, collars, and hanging strap on every truck. Duct Repair & Sealing in Duluth is quoted as a flat price per system, agreed in writing before any work begins.

BeforeAfterHVAC Cleaning in Duluth
HVAC cleaning in Duluth means addressing equipment that has been pulling unfiltered pollen and humid air through deteriorating flex-duct systems for 20 to 40 years. The evaporator coils, blowers, and air handlers in these homes typically show significant buildup that standard filter changes can’t touch, and the microbial growth risk from Gwinnett’s humidity makes component-level cleaning a necessary complement to duct cleaning. We document every component with before-and-after photos as part of our standard HVAC Cleaning deliverable.
Evaporator Coil Cleaning
Signs you need it
Ice formation on the coil, reduced airflow from registers, or AC running continuously without reaching set temperature in Duluth’s July humidity.
What it costs in Duluth
Evaporator coil cleaning typically runs $180-$320 in Duluth, depending on accessibility and buildup severity.
How we do it
We apply foaming cleaner, agitate with soft brushes, rinse with low-pressure water, and photograph the coil surface before and after.
Blower Cleaning
Signs you need it
Vibration noise from the air handler, uneven airflow room to room, or dust puffing from registers when the system cycles on.
What it costs in Duluth
Blower cleaning and balancing typically runs $150-$280 in Duluth.
How we do it
We remove the blower assembly, clean blades and housing with compressed air and solvent, check amp draw, and reinstall with vibration isolation verified.
What HVAC Cleaning Costs in Duluth
| Item | Typical range in Duluth |
|---|---|
| Evaporator coil cleaning | $180-$320 |
| Blower cleaning | $150-$280 |
| Full HVAC system cleaning (coil, blower, air handler) | $450-$750 |
How do I know my HVAC components actually need cleaning?
We inspect with a borescope camera before quoting; you’ll see the debris on the evaporator coil or blower blades yourself before any price is written. Call (678) 904-9744 to schedule an inspection - estimates are free.
Can HVAC cleaning fix my high summer electric bills in Duluth?
Dirty coils and blowers force the system to run longer to achieve the same cooling; cleaning restores designed efficiency, though we won’t promise a specific dollar savings without inspecting your unit first. Call (678) 904-9744 for a written assessment.
Air Quality & Sanitizing in Duluth
Air quality and sanitizing in Duluth addresses the microbial risk that builds inside flex-duct systems during Gwinnett County’s humid summers, when interior duct liner stays damp for months and mold colonizes behind registers where homeowners can’t see it. We treat the source - the duct interior and HVAC components - rather than masking odor with scented filters or spray products. Our Air Quality & Sanitizing service includes post-treatment lab-verifiable documentation on request.
Mold Treatment
Signs you need it
Musty odor when AC runs, visible spotting on ceiling registers, or family members with worsening allergy symptoms in Duluth’s spring and fall.
What it costs in Duluth
Whole-system mold treatment typically runs $400-$700 in Duluth, depending on contamination extent and duct accessibility.
How we do it
We apply EPA-registered antimicrobial through the duct system under negative pressure, treat the evaporator coil and plenum, and deliver before-and-after photos of treated surfaces.
UV Light Installation
Signs you need it
Recurring mold despite cleaning, or a home in Duluth’s heavily wooded lots where humidity stays elevated even with the AC running.
What it costs in Duluth
UV-C light installation in the air handler typically runs $350-$550 in Duluth, including the lamp and electrical connection.
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 show you the installation point in photos.
What Air Quality & Sanitizing Costs in Duluth
| Item | Typical range in Duluth |
|---|---|
| Mold treatment (whole system) | $400-$700 |
| UV light installation | $350-$550 |
| Bacteria sanitizing with antimicrobial | $300-$500 |
Will mold come back after treatment?
Without addressing the moisture source - usually a dirty evaporator coil or duct leak - mold typically recurs within 12 to 18 months in Duluth’s humidity; we identify and quote the source repair as part of our written scope. Call (678) 904-9744 for an inspection.
Are the chemicals safe for pets and kids?
We use EPA-registered products with specific dwell times and ventilation protocols; occupants re-enter after the prescribed period, which we document in writing on every job. Call (678) 904-9744 for product specification sheets.
