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 College Park, GA
Full-system HVAC cleaning in College Park typically runs $450-$850 for a single-family home, with air quality and sanitizing treatments adding $200-$500 depending on whether mold, bacteria, or persistent odors are involved. The combination of aging postwar ductwork, extreme Atlanta pollen loads, and jet-exhaust particulates from Hartsfield-Jackson’s final-approach corridors means College Park systems collect contaminants faster than most Atlanta suburbs. Call (678) 904-9744 for a written estimate before any work starts.
Why College Park Homes Are Different
College Park’s residential core was built out between the 1940s and 1960s to house airline and rail workers, and much of that original housing stock still stands with duct systems that have been patched rather than replaced. We regularly open plenums in neighborhoods north of Camp Creek Parkway and find galvanized steel trunk lines sealed with crumbling duct tape, or early flex-duct runs that have sagged into insulation and collected decades of debris.
The city’s position immediately south of Hartsfield-Jackson creates a contamination profile we don’t see in Sandy Springs or Roswell. Jet exhaust carries ultrafine particulates and carbon soot that infiltrate attic and crawlspace ductwork through every seam and register gap. Our cameras show a grayish-black film coating supply plenum interiors that homeowners often mistake for mold. It’s not. It’s aviation residue, and it requires different cleaning protocols than standard household dust.
Georgia humidity compounds the problem. College Park sits low, near Flint River bottomlands, and that moisture penetrates unconditioned crawlspaces where duct runs sit in 70-plus percent relative humidity for months. Mold colonizes inside fiberglass-lined ducts. Pollen from Atlanta’s oak and pine events pushes through overwhelmed filters and embeds in that moisture. The result is a system that looks dirty faster and stays dirty longer than equivalent homes at higher elevation or farther from the airport corridor.
Our Main College Park Services
College Park homeowners call us most often for these three services. Each has its own dedicated page with deeper detail on local conditions and pricing.
Air Duct Cleaning in College Park
Full negative-pressure extraction of every duct run, from supply plenum to register boot, with before-and-after photography of each line. In College Park, we pay particular attention to flex-duct sag points and attic trunk seams where jet-exhaust particulates concentrate. Every job concludes with a written scope and photo record delivered to the customer. Air Duct Cleaning in College Park
Dryer Vent Cleaning in College Park
Lint accumulation in dryer exhaust runs is a fire hazard and efficiency drain. We clean the full run from appliance to exterior termination, test airflow with a manometer, and photograph the interior condition. College Park’s older homes often have longer vent paths through crawlspaces or attics that complicate access. Dryer Vent Cleaning in College Park
Duct Repair & Sealing in College Park
Failed seals, disconnected runs, and corroded galvanized steel are common in College Park’s postwar housing stock. We repair or replace damaged sections and seal with mastic or metal-backed tape, then pressure-test the system to verify integrity. Repairs are quoted in writing before any demolition begins.

BeforeAfterHVAC Cleaning in College Park
College Park’s climate and housing age create specific HVAC contamination patterns that surface cleaning won’t address. Evaporator coils in homes near the airport corridor develop a sticky film of carbon particulate mixed with pollen that reduces heat transfer and raises energy bills. Blower wheels collect the same residue, throwing airflow balance off and creating uneven temperatures room to room. We clean the full air-handling assembly, not just the ducts, because the components are connected and recontaminate each other if treated in isolation. HVAC Cleaning covers our full methodology for homeowners who want to understand the technical scope before scheduling.
Evaporator Coil Cleaning
Signs you need it
Ice buildup on the coil, longer cooling cycles, or a musty smell from vents when the AC first kicks on.
What it costs in College Park
Evaporator coil cleaning typically runs $180-$340 as a standalone service, or $120-$220 when bundled with full system cleaning.
How we do it
We access the coil through the plenum, apply foaming cleaner formulated for aluminum fins, rinse with low-pressure water to avoid fin damage, and photograph the coil surface before and after.
Blower Cleaning
Signs you need it
Vibration noise from the air handler, weak airflow at distant registers, or dust puffing from vents at startup.
What it costs in College Park
Blower wheel and housing cleaning ranges from $150-$280, with motor inspection and amp-draw testing included.
How we do it
The blower assembly is removed, the wheel is cleaned in a contained wash station, the housing is vacuumed and wiped, and balance is checked before reinstallation.
What HVAC Cleaning Costs in College Park
| Item | Typical range in College Park |
|---|---|
| Evaporator coil cleaning (standalone) | $180-$340 |
| Blower wheel and housing cleaning | $150-$280 |
| Full HVAC cleaning (coil, blower, plus ductwork) | $450-$850 |
How do I know the coil was actually cleaned?
Every HVAC cleaning includes a Documented Photo Record of the coil surface, blower wheel, and plenum interior, delivered as part of the standard job record. You see what we saw before we touched anything, and what it looked like after.
Can HVAC cleaning fix uneven temperatures between rooms?
It often helps, especially when blower wheel buildup has reduced airflow to distant duct runs, but persistent imbalance may indicate duct leakage or design issues that require separate evaluation under our Free Second Opinion policy.
Air Quality & Sanitizing in College Park
College Park’s humidity, aging ductwork, and airport-proximity particulates create conditions where biological growth and persistent odors outlast standard cleaning. Mold in fiberglass-lined flex ducts, bacteria in condensate pans, and jet-exhaust residue that traps organic odors all require treatment beyond mechanical extraction. We apply EPA-registered products and, where appropriate, install permanent air purification equipment sized to the system CFM. Air Quality & Sanitizing details our full product roster and installation standards.
Mold Treatment
Signs you need it
Visible mold at registers, a wet-cardboard smell from vents, or recent water intrusion in crawlspace or attic duct runs.
What it costs in College Park
Localized mold treatment runs $250-$450 per affected zone; whole-system treatment with full duct cleaning ranges $650-$1,200.
How we do it
We identify moisture sources, remove contaminated insulation or liner if necessary, apply antimicrobial treatment to reachable surfaces, and install UV-C where recurrence risk is high.
UV Light Installation
Signs you need it
Repeated mold recurrence after cleaning, family members with respiratory sensitivity, or a system in a chronically damp crawlspace.
What it costs in College Park
UV-C lamp installation with power supply and mounting hardware runs $300-$550, including one replacement bulb.
How we do it
We mount a UV-C lamp in the supply plenum downstream of the coil, wire to a dedicated circuit, and verify irradiance at the coil surface with a meter.
What Air Quality & Sanitizing Costs in College Park
| Item | Typical range in College Park |
|---|---|
| Mold treatment (localized zone) | $250-$450 |
| Whole-system mold treatment with duct cleaning | $650-$1,200 |
| UV-C lamp installation | $300-$550 |
Is the antimicrobial treatment safe for pets and kids?
We use EPA-registered products applied according to manufacturer dwell-time specifications, with ventilation requirements met before occupants re-enter; the treated surfaces are inside ductwork, not accessible living space.
How long does UV light last before replacement?
UV-C lamps degrade to ineffective output after roughly 9,000 hours of operation, typically 12-14 months in a continuous-run installation; we note installation date on the lamp housing and include replacement scheduling in the job record.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in College Park
Standard cleaning and sealing do not require permits; duct replacement or structural modifications may trigger City of College Park building department review, and we handle permit documentation when our scope crosses that threshold.
It doesn’t. Our crews work normal business hours regardless of flight patterns; the airport proximity matters for contamination type, not for our ability to reach your property or complete the work.
Yes. We carry general liability and workers compensation certificates, background-check documentation under Haven Standard Clause 3, and license verification that most College Park-area HOAs accept without additional rider requirements.
