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 Cumming, GA
HVAC cleaning in Cumming typically runs $400-$850 for a whole-system job, with most homes in the 2,500-4,000 square foot range falling near the middle. The combination of 15-20 year old production-built flex-duct systems and Lake Lanier’s elevated summer humidity means Cumming homes often need more than a surface cleaning. Call (470) 326-1926 for a written estimate before any work starts.
CleanRun crews coordinate dispatch from our Atlanta office and serve Cumming directly. We hold to the same standard here as everywhere else: a written price delivered before a single panel comes off, and a documented photo record of every duct run when we leave.
Why Cumming Homes Are Different
Cumming sits at the epicenter of Forsyth County’s explosive 2000s-2010s growth surge, leaving thousands of large production-built homes in master-planned subdivisions now hitting the 15-20 year mark - the first duct-cleaning cycle most have ever seen. These homes in Windermere, Polo Golf & Country Club, and the South Forsyth corridor were built with long, complex multi-zone flex-duct runs installed in unconditioned attic spaces. Georgia’s extreme attic heat degrades flex duct liners over time, creating tears and disconnected joints that pull fiberglass insulation particles and attic debris directly into the air supply.
Proximity to Lake Lanier’s shoreline adds measurably elevated summer humidity that accelerates mold spore and allergen buildup inside ductwork compared to inland Atlanta suburbs. Cumming’s piedmont climate delivers long, humid summers where central AC systems run nearly continuously from May through September, and that lake-driven moisture creates localized humidity levels noticeably higher than drier inland suburbs like Alpharetta - conditions that promote condensation inside supply ducts and accelerate mold colonization on duct liner surfaces.
Active construction remains nearly constant throughout Forsyth County’s still-expanding subdivisions, and established neighborhoods abutting new development frequently see fine red-clay construction dust infiltrate HVAC systems through loose return plenums. Technicians in Cumming routinely pull red-tinted debris cakes from blower wheels and filter housings in homes that have never been on a jobsite themselves.

BeforeAfterHVAC Cleaning in Cumming
HVAC cleaning in Cumming addresses what 15-20 years of continuous summer AC cycling has built up inside components that never get opened. Lake Lanier’s humidity loads mean evaporator coils here grow biological material faster than in drier suburbs, and red-clay dust from nearby construction sites cakes onto blower wheels and filter housings. HVAC Cleaning covers our full equipment and methods.
Evaporator Coil Cleaning
Signs you need it
Ice formation on the coil, weak airflow from registers, or musty odors when the AC first cycles on.
What it costs in Cumming
Evaporator coil cleaning in Cumming typically runs $250-$450.
How we do it
We access the coil through the plenum, apply foaming cleaner, rinse with low-pressure water, and photograph the before and after condition.
Blower Cleaning
Signs you need it
Vibration noise from the air handler, uneven heating or cooling across zones, or dust puffing from registers at startup.
What it costs in Cumming
Blower cleaning in Cumming typically runs $180-$320.
How we do it
We remove the blower assembly, clean the wheel and housing with compressed air and solvent, balance the assembly, and document with photos.
What HVAC Cleaning Costs in Cumming
| Item | Typical range in Cumming |
|---|---|
| Evaporator coil cleaning | $250-$450 |
| Blower cleaning | $180-$320 |
| Full HVAC cleaning (coil + blower + housing) | $400-$850 |
How do I know the coil was actually cleaned?
Every HVAC cleaning includes a documented photo record of the coil and blower before and after - part of the standard job record you receive. Haven Standard Clause 1 requires the written price before work starts; the photo record verifies the work matched the scope.
Can HVAC cleaning fix weak airflow?
It can if the restriction is biological buildup or debris on the coil or blower wheel - common in Cumming’s humid climate. If the problem is duct damage or undersizing, we’ll note that in the written findings and recommend duct repair.
Air Quality & Sanitizing in Cumming
Air quality and sanitizing in Cumming targets the mold spores and bacteria that thrive in Lake Lanier’s elevated humidity, particularly inside duct liner that has absorbed condensation through 15-20 summers of continuous AC operation. The same red-clay construction dust that infiltrates return plenums also carries organic material that supports microbial growth on wet surfaces. Air Quality & Sanitizing details our full treatment protocols.
Mold Treatment
Signs you need it
Visible mold at registers, musty odors that persist after cleaning, or family members with worsening allergy symptoms indoors.
What it costs in Cumming
Mold treatment in Cumming typically runs $350-$650 depending on affected duct length.
How we do it
We apply EPA-registered antimicrobial through the duct system using a fogging device, treat the plenum and trunk lines, and verify with post-treatment photos.
UV Light Installation
Signs you need it
Recurring mold after cleaning, or a home with chronic humidity control issues common near Lake Lanier.
What it costs in Cumming
UV light installation in Cumming typically runs $400-$750 including the lamp and power supply.
How we do it
We mount a UV-C lamp in the supply plenum upstream of the coil, wire to the air handler’s 24V circuit, and show you the installation before closing the panel.
What Air Quality & Sanitizing Costs in Cumming
| Item | Typical range in Cumming |
|---|---|
| Mold treatment | $350-$650 |
| UV light installation | $400-$750 |
| Combined sanitizing + UV package | $650-$1,100 |
Is mold treatment safe for kids and pets?
We use EPA-registered products applied as directed, with a dwell time and ventilation period before the system returns to service. The written scope specifies re-entry timing.
Will UV lights actually prevent mold?
UV-C at the coil surface inhibits biological growth where condensation collects - the most common colonization point in Cumming’s humid climate. It does not sterilize the entire duct system, which is why we pair it with source removal.

What Cumming Customers Say
"Thorough job on the ducts and the dryer vent. Left the house clean and the paperwork was clear."
- Rafael I."They found a disconnected duct in the crawl space that had been dumping conditioned air under the house for years. Photographed it, quoted the repair, fixed it."
- Devon A."Flat price agreed up front, no per-vent add-ons at the end. That was the whole reason I did not call the coupon company."
