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.

AfterLennox Air Duct Cleaning in Norcross, GA | CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Sandy Springs
We provide Air Duct Cleaning in Norcross as independent Lennox service, not as an authorized dealer, but as technicians who clean and repair duct systems behind Lennox Merit, Elite, and Dave Lennox Signature equipment every week. The one thing that makes our Lennox work here different: Norcross’s 1978-1995 subdivisions were built with original fiberglass-lined flex duct that now collapses or separates at the plenum as a predictable condition of age, meaning a standard cleaning job on these systems almost always surfaces hidden airflow damage the homeowner never knew existed. Call (678) 904-9744 for a free estimate with a written price before any work starts.
Why Norcross Residents Choose Us for Lennox Service
We’ve been cleaning ducts behind Lennox equipment in Gwinnett County since 2013. That means we’ve worked on the full product line: Merit Series 13ACX and ML14XC1 units in ranch homes near the historic Mill District, Elite Series EL296V furnaces in two-story colonials off Spalding Drive, and Dave Lennox Signature Collection SL280V systems in the Northwoods area. We know how these units load their return and supply runs, where the flex tends to sag, and which evaporator coil configurations collect the most pollen during oak season.
Tomas Reyes, our owner, picked up his trade discipline studying HVAC systems at Bronx Community College before moving south and building CleanRun around one principle: show the customer what you found before you say what it costs. He and our crew have worked the Spalding Drive corridor for years, including jobs where the ductwork hadn’t been touched since the Carter administration. The photo comes first. The invoice comes second.
We’re not affiliated with or authorized by Lennox. We’re independent specialists who use OEM-equivalent aftermarket flex duct, mastic, and sealing components that match Lennox system requirements. Every job carries a written price before work begins, a Documented Photo Record of every duct run, and our 365-Day Done Right Promise. Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed under Haven Standard Clause 3: Verified Crews.
Common Lennox Air Duct Cleaning Problems We Solve in Norcross
- Collapsed flex duct causing variable-speed blower overwork. In Norcross’s 1980s-90s subdivisions, the original fiberglass-lined flex duct has sagged and kinked over decades in hot attics. This restricts airflow and forces Lennox variable-speed blowers to ramp up and run longer, which masks the real problem. We document the collapse, repair or replace the flex run, and restore proper static pressure.
- Evaporator coil restriction during pollen season. Lennox Merit and Elite air handlers have coils that collect dense loads of oak and pine pollen from February through April. In Norcross, where pollen visibly coats outdoor surfaces, this buildup restricts return air and reduces system efficiency. We clean the coil as part of our duct service and photograph before and after.
- Separated duct-board plenums leaking into attics. Original plenums on older Lennox systems separate at the connection point, dumping conditioned air into unconditioned attic space and pulling in red-clay dust and humidity. We find this repeatedly in Norcross’s 30- to 40-year-old housing stock, especially near Northwoods. Our video inspection catches it before cleaning begins.
- Mold growth from shoulder-season humidity. High indoor humidity during Norcross’s spring and fall shoulder seasons condenses on uninsulated flex duct sections in attics and crawlspaces. Lennox systems then distribute that mold through supply registers. We identify affected runs, clean them with negative-pressure extraction, and document the condition.
- Multi-unit neglect in garden-style apartments. Along Jimmy Carter Boulevard and Oakbrook Parkway, 1980s-90s apartment complexes have shared return-air chases that rarely see cleaning between tenant turnovers. Lennox equipment in these buildings works harder and distributes more particulate. We service these systems with the same documented approach as single-family homes.
BeforeAfterLennox Service in Norcross: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Norcross sits at the core of Gwinnett County’s 1980s-early 1990s residential explosion, meaning a large share of its single-family subdivisions now carry 30- to 40-year-old original builder-grade flexible ductwork that is at or past its rated service life. In Georgia’s high-humidity, high-pollen environment, those aging flex-duct systems have had decades to accumulate mold-promoting moisture, red-clay dust, and heavy spring pollen - creating a duct-cleaning demand that is both urgent and densely concentrated within a compact geographic footprint.
For Lennox owners specifically, this concentration matters. A Lennox Elite Series variable-speed system in a 1989 Spalding Drive colonial was designed to modulate airflow precisely. When the original flex trunk line has partially collapsed or separated at the duct-board plenum, that precision works against the homeowner: the blower compensates for restricted airflow by running longer cycles, driving up humidity and energy costs without ever alerting the occupant that the ducts, not the unit, are the problem. We’ve cleaned ducts behind Lennox equipment in Norcross long enough to recognize this pattern immediately. The video inspection tells us within minutes whether we’re looking at routine maintenance or a hidden airflow repair. That level of predictable hidden damage is not something we see in newer metro Atlanta cities where flex duct hasn’t reached end-of-life yet.
Lennox Models & Products We Service in Norcross
We clean and repair duct systems behind the full Lennox residential line:
- Lennox Merit Series: 13ACX, ML14XC1 - common in entry-level 1980s-90s Norcross builds where original flex duct is now at end-of-life
- Lennox Elite Series: EL16XC1, EL296V - variable-speed models we see frequently in Northwoods and Spalding-area homes, where precise airflow modulation makes duct integrity especially critical
- Lennox Dave Lennox Signature Collection: SL280V, XC21 - premium systems whose efficiency ratings depend on sealed, unobstructed ductwork
- Lennox Complete Comfort Series: XP21 heat pump - dual-fuel configurations with coils that need seasonal cleaning before pollen season
We stock OEM-equivalent aftermarket flex duct, mastic, and sealing components locally for fast Norcross turnaround. No proprietary parts are needed for duct cleaning or repair. If our inspection reveals cracked heat exchangers or failed blower motors, we provide an honest repair-vs-replace assessment rather than pushing a new system sale.
Our equipment roster includes Lennox sales & service tools from Rotobrush, Nikro, Abatement Technologies, Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Guardsman - brands you can verify independently.
Lennox Service Pricing in Norcross

FAQs - Lennox Air Duct Cleaning in Norcross
Yes. We use negative-pressure extraction with controlled brush agitation, which cleans fiberglass-lined flex duct without tearing the inner liner. In Norcross’s 1990s housing stock, we expect the original flex to be brittle, so our inspection comes first. If the flex is too degraded to clean safely, we document it and quote replacement before proceeding. Call (678) 904-9744 for a free inspection.
No special method, but they do need accurate duct integrity. Lennox Elite and Signature variable-speed blowers modulate airflow based on static pressure readings. If your Norcross home has collapsed flex or a separated plenum, the blower overcompensates and runs inefficiently. We measure static pressure before and after cleaning to verify the system is operating within Lennox specifications.
Shared return-air chases in 1980s-90s garden-style complexes are rarely cleaned between tenant turnovers, and multi-unit Lennox systems recirculate particulate from adjacent units. The combination of neglected chases, high tenant turnover, and Georgia’s pollen load creates accelerated buildup. We clean the full duct run including returns, and our photo record shows what was actually removed.
Often, yes - if the odor source is biological growth inside the ductwork. Norcross’s humid subtropical climate creates condensation on uninsulated flex duct in attics and crawlspaces, which promotes mold and mildew. Our cleaning removes that growth, and we photograph the affected runs. If the odor persists after cleaning, we inspect the evaporator coil and drain pan for secondary sources. Call (678) 904-9744 to schedule.
We replace with insulated, antimicrobial-lined flex duct that exceeds original builder-grade specifications - OEM-equivalent aftermarket components that match Lennox airflow requirements. For Norcross homes with chronic humidity issues, we may recommend upgrading to R-8 insulated flex and sealing all plenum connections with mastic rather than tape. The written scope specifies exactly what material goes where.
