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
Complete HVAC cleaning in Alpharetta typically runs $380-$680 for a whole-home system, with most jobs scheduled within a week and finished in a single day. The city’s concentration of 1990s-2000s planned-community homes, many now hitting 20-35 years of age, creates a unique maintenance profile: oversized flex-duct systems in hot attics that accumulate pollen, debris, and mold at rates faster than simpler systems in older neighborhoods. We dispatch crews from our Atlanta office and coordinate scheduling so Alpharetta homeowners get a written price before any work starts. Call (470) 326-1926 for a free estimate.
Why Alpharetta Homes Are Different
Alpharetta’s explosive growth from roughly 1988 to 2005 produced block after block of large homes, most 3,000-5,000 square feet, built rapidly in master-planned communities like Windward. These houses feature complex multi-zone flex duct systems installed during tract construction, and they’re now at exactly the age where sagging, joint separation, and deep debris accumulation become critical. No neighboring city has this same concentration of same-vintage, oversized flex-duct homes hitting their maintenance inflection point simultaneously.
The local climate compounds the problem. Alpharetta’s retained tree canopy and Piedmont position generate some of the highest residential pollen exposure in metro Atlanta each spring. The notorious yellow pine surge loads into return-air systems and settles in horizontal flex duct runs. From May through September, relative humidity regularly climbs above 70%, accelerating mold colonization inside attic ductwork where condensation cycles are frequent. Technicians working Windward and comparable communities routinely find original flex duct that has sagged away from boot collars, creating low-point pockets trapping pollen, blown-in insulation fibers, and mold growth that homeowners never suspect because airflow “seems fine” from the registers below.
Our Main Alpharetta Services
These are the three services Alpharetta homeowners call about most often. Each has its own dedicated Alpharetta page with full pricing and scope details.
Air Duct Cleaning in Alpharetta
We clean every duct run in Alpharetta homes with negative-pressure extraction, photographing the interior before and after. The large, branched systems common in Windward and similar communities require longer run times than typical metro Atlanta homes. Every job concludes with a Documented Photo Record delivered to the customer. Air Duct Cleaning in Alpharetta
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Alpharetta
Dryer vent cleaning in Alpharetta addresses lint buildup in the long vent runs common in two-story homes with laundry rooms on upper floors. Blocked vents extend drying times and create fire risk. We clean the full run from dryer to termination and verify airflow with a meter. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Alpharetta
Duct Repair & Sealing in Alpharetta
Duct repair in Alpharetta focuses on the sagging flex duct and separated boot collars our crews find in 1990s-2000s communities. We rehang sagging runs, seal joints with mastic, and replace damaged sections. Repairs include before-and-after photos of every modified run. Duct Repair & Sealing in Alpharetta

BeforeAfterHVAC Cleaning in Alpharetta
HVAC cleaning in Alpharetta means addressing the full air-handling system, not just the visible registers. The city’s large homes with multiple zones and long flex-duct runs through hot attics create conditions where evaporator coils load with pollen and blower assemblies accumulate debris that standard filter changes never reach. We clean each component with documented photo evidence, and every quote is written before work begins under Haven Standard Clause 1. HVAC Cleaning covers our full methodology for homeowners researching the service category.
Evaporator Coil Cleaning
Signs you need it
Ice buildup on refrigerant lines, weak airflow from registers, or cooling that can’t keep up during July afternoons in Alpharetta’s humidity.
What it costs in Alpharetta
Evaporator coil cleaning typically runs $180-$320.
How we do it
We access the coil through the plenum (the main air distribution box), apply foaming cleaner, rinse with low-pressure water, and photograph the coil before and after.
Blower Cleaning
Signs you need it
Unusual vibration or noise from the air handler, dust puffing from registers at startup, or a blower wheel that visibly wobbles when inspected.
What it costs in Alpharetta
Blower assembly cleaning typically runs $160-$280.
How we do it
We remove the blower assembly, clean the wheel and housing with compressed air and solvent, balance the assembly, and reinstall with torque-checked hardware.
What HVAC Cleaning Costs in Alpharetta
| Item | Typical range in Alpharetta |
|---|---|
| Evaporator coil cleaning | $180-$320 |
| Blower assembly cleaning | $160-$280 |
| Full system HVAC cleaning | $380-$680 |
How do I know the HVAC cleaning was actually done?
Every HVAC cleaning in Alpharetta includes a Documented Photo Record of the evaporator coil, blower assembly, and plenum interior, delivered as part of the standard job record, so you see what was found and what changed. Call (470) 326-1926 for an exact quote - estimates are free.
How often should HVAC cleaning happen in Alpharetta?
Homes in Alpharetta’s high-pollen zone with 20-35-year-old flex-duct systems typically need full HVAC cleaning every 3-5 years, with coil inspection every 2 years. Call (470) 326-1926 for an exact quote - estimates are free.
Air Quality & Sanitizing in Alpharetta
Air quality and sanitizing in Alpharetta addresses the mold and bacteria that colonize attic duct runs during the long humid season, from May through September, when condensation inside flex duct creates sustained moisture. The pollen that loads into these same systems each spring provides organic material that feeds microbial growth. We treat these conditions with documented before-and-after verification, not masking agents. Air Quality & Sanitizing details our full approach for homeowners comparing methods.
Mold Treatment
Signs you need it
Musty odor from registers when the system starts, visible discoloration on ceiling diffusers, or a history of condensation in attic ductwork.
What it costs in Alpharetta
Mold treatment for duct runs typically runs $280-$520.
How we do it
We apply EPA-registered antimicrobial through the duct system using a fogging device, with Abatement Technologies HEPA filtration running during application to protect occupied space.
UV Light Installation
Signs you need it
Recurring mold after professional cleaning, family members with heightened sensitivity to airborne contaminants, or a system located in a damp basement or crawl space.
What it costs in Alpharetta
UV light installation in the plenum typically runs $340-$580 including the lamp and electrical connection.
How we do it
We mount a UV-C lamp in the supply plenum, wire to the blower circuit for automatic operation, and verify irradiance with a meter at installation.
What Air Quality & Sanitizing Costs in Alpharetta
| Item | Typical range in Alpharetta |
|---|---|
| Mold treatment (whole system) | $280-$520 |
| UV light installation | $340-$580 |
| Air quality & sanitizing package | $420-$760 |
Does UV light actually prevent mold in Alpharetta’s humidity?
UV-C lamps in the plenum prevent mold colonization on wet coil surfaces and nearby duct walls by continuous irradiation, but they do not clean existing debris; we install UV only after source removal is complete. Call (470) 326-1926 for an exact quote - estimates are free.
Is mold treatment safe for kids and pets?
We use EPA-registered products applied with occupied-space HEPA protection, keep residents out during the 2-hour dwell time, and ventilate before re-entry; the product label and SDS are available on request. Call (470) 326-1926 for an exact quote - estimates are free.
