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 Alpharetta, GA
HVAC cleaning in Alpharetta typically runs $400-$850 for whole-system service on the large-footprint homes common here, with air quality and sanitizing work adding $250-$600 depending on scope. We’re CleanRun Duct Repair & Cleaning, and Alpharetta crews coordinate from our Atlanta office. Call (678) 904-9744 for a written estimate before any work starts - that’s Haven Standard Clause 1, no exceptions.
Why Alpharetta Homes Are Different
Alpharetta’s residential boom from the late 1980s through the mid-2000s produced thousands of homes between 3,000 and 5,000 square feet, almost all built with builder-grade flexible ductwork now hitting 15-30 years of age. In that window, Georgia humidity degrades flex duct faster than almost anywhere else in the metro area. The combination of long duct runs, multiple air handlers per home, and Piedmont pollen loads that rank among the nation’s highest means Alpharetta ductwork carries an unusually heavy burden.
Summer dew points in the low-to-mid 70s°F keep the interior of unsupported flex duct persistently moist. In communities like Windward, where original construction relied on stapled rather than properly clamped and mastic-sealed register boots, we’ve found connections that have pulled apart entirely inside wall cavities - venting conditioned air into unconditioned spaces and creating dark gaps that show active mold growth on scope inspection even when visible registers look clean. These aren’t maintenance issues; they’re the predictable failure of a specific housing cohort under specific climate stress.
Our Main Alpharetta Services
Homeowners in Alpharetta most often call us for these three services.
Air Duct Cleaning in Alpharetta
We clean the full duct network - supply and return runs, trunk lines, and plenum chambers - using negative-pressure extraction with Rotobrush and Nikro equipment. Every run is photographed before and after, and the photo record is delivered as part of the standard job file. Air Duct Cleaning in Alpharetta covers whole-home systems common in subdivisions built 1988-2010, where multiple zones and long flex runs mean higher linear footage per job than typical metro homes.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Alpharetta
Dryer vent blockages in Alpharetta’s larger homes often involve runs of 25-35 feet or more through interior wall cavities, with multiple elbows that trap lint in ways shorter runs don’t. We clean the full vent path from appliance to termination, verify airflow with a meter, and document the before condition with photos. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Alpharetta includes homes with rooftop terminations, which are common in the master-planned communities here.
Duct Repair & Sealing in Alpharetta
Disconnected boots, sagging flex runs, and deteriorated mastic are standard findings in Alpharetta homes from the 1990s and 2000s. We repair or replace damaged sections, seal joints with proper materials, and pressure-test the system to verify integrity. Duct Repair & Sealing in Alpharetta addresses the specific failure patterns of this area’s aging flex-duct inventory.

BeforeAfterHVAC Cleaning in Alpharetta
HVAC cleaning in Alpharetta means working on systems that are oversized for their ductwork and undersupported after decades of humidity cycling. The multi-zone setups in subdivisions like Windward, Country Club of the South, and Avalon-adjacent developments create multiple points of failure - evaporator coils that cake with pollen each spring, blower assemblies coated in debris that bypassed overloaded filters, and condenser coils choked by cottonwood and oak particulate. HVAC Cleaning from CleanRun treats each component as a separate job with its own scope, price, and photo record.
Evaporator Coil Cleaning
Signs you need it
Ice formation on the coil, weak airflow from registers, or a musty smell when the AC first cycles on.
What it costs in Alpharetta
Evaporator coil cleaning in Alpharetta typically runs $180-$340 for accessible coils in basement or attic air handlers.
How we do it
We remove the access panel, photograph the coil condition, apply foaming cleaner formulated for aluminum fins, rinse with low-pressure water, and photograph the result before reassembly.
Blower Cleaning
Signs you need it
Vibration or noise from the air handler, uneven airflow between rooms, or dust puffing from registers at startup.
What it costs in Alpharetta
Blower assembly cleaning in Alpharetta ranges from $150-$280 for standard residential units.
How we do it
We remove the blower wheel and housing, clean each blade and the motor cavity with compressed air and solvent, balance the assembly, and reinstall with new hardware.
What HVAC Cleaning Costs in Alpharetta
| Item | Typical range in Alpharetta |
|---|---|
| Evaporator coil cleaning | $180-$340 |
| Blower assembly cleaning | $150-$280 |
| Condenser coil cleaning | $120-$220 |
How do I know the HVAC cleaning was actually done?
Every component is photographed before and after, and those photos are delivered with the written job record - not stored internally, not shown on a tablet and taken away. Haven Standard Clause 4 requires the customer receives the documentation.
Can HVAC cleaning fix uneven temperatures between floors?
It can help if the cause is restricted airflow from dirty coils or blowers, but persistent imbalance often indicates duct leakage or design issues that need separate evaluation under our Free Second Opinion policy.
Air Quality & Sanitizing in Alpharetta
Alpharetta’s combination of high pollen loads, summer dew points in the low-to-mid 70s°F, and 15-30-year-old flex duct creates conditions where mold colonization is common and often hidden. In Windward and similar communities, we’ve scoped register boots that looked clean from the room but showed active mold growth in the cavity behind them where stapled connections pulled loose decades ago. Air Quality & Sanitizing addresses what grows in those gaps, not what you can see from the hallway.
Mold Treatment
Signs you need it
Musty odor when the system cycles, visible growth at register edges, or family members with unexplained respiratory symptoms that worsen at home.
What it costs in Alpharetta
Whole-system mold treatment in Alpharetta ranges from $400-$900 depending on contamination extent and duct accessibility.
How we do it
We apply EPA-registered antimicrobial through the duct network using Abatement Technologies fogging equipment, treat the plenum and coil surfaces, and verify with post-treatment scope inspection.
UV Light Installation
Signs you need it
Recurring mold despite cleaning, or a system located in a humid basement or attic where coil moisture persists year-round.
What it costs in Alpharetta
UV-C lamp installation in Alpharetta runs $350-$650 including the lamp, mounting hardware, and electrical connection to the air handler.
How we do it
We mount the lamp upstream of the evaporator coil with a sight glass for future inspection, wire to the blower circuit for automatic operation, and show the customer the installation photo in the job record.
What Air Quality & Sanitizing Costs in Alpharetta
| Item | Typical range in Alpharetta |
|---|---|
| Mold treatment (whole system) | $400-$900 |
| UV-C lamp installation | $350-$650 |
| Bacteria sanitizing | $250-$500 |
Is mold in ducts common in Alpharetta?
Yes, particularly in homes built 1988-2005 with original flex duct - the combination of humidity, pollen debris, and loose boot connections creates ideal conditions. We’ve found active growth in Windward homes where registers looked clean from the room.
Does UV light prevent mold permanently?
No - it suppresses growth on the coil and nearby surfaces but doesn’t clean existing debris or fix moisture sources. We recommend pairing UV with periodic coil cleaning and duct inspection.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Alpharetta
No permit is required for standard duct cleaning or HVAC component cleaning in Alpharetta. Duct repair or modification that alters the building’s HVAC infrastructure may require Fulton County permitting; we handle that determination and any required documentation as part of the job scope.
Most Alpharetta HOAs regulate exterior work and contractor parking, not interior maintenance. We carry general liability and workers compensation certificates on request, and our technicians arrive in marked vehicles with name identification - requirements we’ve met for Windward, Country Club of the South, and other managed communities.
Standard appointments typically book three to five business days out; we don’t maintain emergency or same-day dispatch for duct cleaning, which is a scheduled maintenance job, not an urgent repair. Call (678) 904-9744 for current availability and a written estimate.
