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.

AfterCarrier Air Duct Cleaning in Alpharetta, GA | CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Johns Creek
Air Duct Cleaning in Alpharetta for Carrier systems typically runs $450-$850 for a complete residential system, depending on square footage, zone count, and whether flex duct repair is needed. CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Johns Creek is an independent Carrier service specialist - not manufacturer-affiliated - and we’ve spent the past several years working specifically on Carrier systems installed during Alpharetta’s 1990s-2000s build-out. If your Carrier Infinity, Performance, or Comfort series system was installed in a Windward-era home, the ductwork is likely at the age where sagging runs and pollen accumulation become measurable problems. Call (470) 326-1926 for a free written estimate.
Why Alpharetta Residents Choose Us for Carrier Service
Tomas Reyes, our owner, grew up in Queens patching window units in apartment buildings with his uncle. That work taught him early that what happens inside a system matters more than what shows on the outside. He trained at CUNY Kingsborough Community College in Brooklyn, then spent two decades doing hands-on duct work across the Southeast before establishing CleanRun in 2013. For the past several years, he and our crews have worked throughout Alpharetta, including the Medlock Bridge corridor, where two-story builds with zoned Carrier systems hide some of the worst accumulation behind secondary return boxes - and where we’ve also handled Alpharetta Dryer Vent Cleaning for many of the same homes.
We don’t guess at what’s wrong. Our process is straightforward: video inspection first, written price second, work third. Every Alpharetta job starts with a camera run through every accessible duct line, and every customer receives a Documented Photo Record of what we found - before and after - as a standard deliverable. The photo goes first. The price comes after.
Our technicians carry OEM Carrier components and quality aftermarket equivalents for common failures, and we operate under the H.A.V.E.N. Standard: background-checked, uniformed crews identified by name before arrival, with our license number published openly on every proposal. The 365-Day Done Right Promise applies to every Alpharetta job in writing, not as a verbal courtesy.
Common Carrier Air Duct Cleaning Problems We Solve in Alpharetta
- Sagging flex duct runs in attics. Original Carrier flex duct, installed fast during Alpharetta’s subdivision build-out, often pulls away from boot collars in hot attic spaces. The sag creates low pockets that trap pine pollen, blown-in insulation fibers, and moisture. We recently serviced a Carrier Infinity system in a 4,200 sq ft home in Windward where the homeowner complained of “dusty” air despite regular filter changes. Our video inspection revealed exactly this failure pattern - a sagging low pocket filled with debris - which we repaired with new collars and full system cleaning.
- Zone damper failures. Carrier multi-zone systems are standard in Alpharetta’s 3,000-5,000+ sq ft homes. Damper actuators fail over time, causing uneven airflow and pressure imbalances that force debris into living spaces and accelerate duct leakage at joints.
- Evaporator coil fouling. Alpharetta’s spring pine pollen surge - among the heaviest in metro Atlanta - loads into return-air systems and bonds to Carrier evaporator coils during the long humid cooling season. Biological growth reduces airflow and strains the compressor.
- Return duct leakage. Carrier systems with extensive return runs through unconditioned Alpharetta attics develop leaks at connections, pulling in attic air laden with insulation particles and mold spores. The camera often shows black streaking at leak points that homeowners never see from below.
- Secondary return box accumulation. In Alpharetta’s larger two-story homes, secondary return boxes behind upper-floor walls become collection points for debris that bypasses standard filters. Our video inspections regularly reveal 2-3 inch build-ups in these hidden cavities.
BeforeAfterCarrier Service in Alpharetta: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Alpharetta’s tech-boom growth from roughly 1988 through 2005 produced something no neighboring city replicates: entire neighborhoods of same-vintage, oversized homes - 3,000 to 5,000+ square feet - built with complex Carrier multi-zone flex duct systems that were installed rapidly during tract construction and are now all hitting their maintenance inflection point simultaneously. In Windward and comparable 1990s communities, our technicians routinely find original flex duct that has sagged away from boot collars in the attic, creating low-point pockets trapping seasons of pollen, blown-in insulation fibers, and mold growth that homeowners have no idea exists because airflow “seems fine” from the registers below. The combination of Alpharetta’s retained Piedmont tree canopy - which generates some of the highest residential pollen exposure in the metro area each spring - and long humid cooling seasons with relative humidity regularly above 70% from May through September accelerates the deterioration. For Carrier owners, this means a system that was designed for a 20-25 year service life is now likely operating with degraded duct integrity, reduced static pressure efficiency, and biological loading that standard filter changes cannot address. Alpharetta service area coverage means we stock the specific flex duct collars, zone dampers, and coil cleaning equipment needed for these exact homes.
Carrier Models & Products We Service in Alpharetta
We service the full range of Carrier residential systems common in Alpharetta’s master-planned communities. Carrier sales & service from CleanRun covers Infinity series including Greenspeed and 24ANB models; Performance series including 24ACC and 24ACB models; Comfort series including 24AAA and 24ABB models; and WeatherMaker series systems. Our trucks carry OEM Carrier zone dampers, flex duct connectors, and coil cleaning solutions, plus aftermarket equivalents from Honeywell and Aprilaire that meet or exceed OEM specifications for common failures. In most cases, repairing or sealing the existing Carrier duct system is more cost-effective than replacement, and we document that assessment with photos before quoting any major work. Our equipment roster includes Rotobrush and Nikro agitation systems, Abatement Technologies negative-pressure extractors, and Guardsman sanitizing applicators - brands customers can verify independently.
Carrier Service Pricing in Alpharetta
Whole-system Carrier duct cleaning in Alpharetta ranges from $450 for smaller single-zone Comfort series homes to $850 for larger Infinity multi-zone systems requiring flex duct repair and extended video inspection. The final price depends on three factors we assess during every free estimate: total linear feet of ductwork, number of zones and dampers, and whether the video inspection reveals sagging runs or leakage requiring repair before cleaning.
Every Alpharetta customer receives one flat price per system, agreed in writing before any panel comes off, under Haven Standard Clause 1. No per-vent pricing. No add-ons after arrival.

FAQs - Carrier Air Duct Cleaning in Alpharetta
Your Alpharetta home’s larger square footage, multi-zone design, and original flex duct runs through unconditioned attic space create more surface area for debris accumulation than older or denser Atlanta housing stock. The pine pollen load here is measurably higher, and sagging duct low points trap material that standard filters cannot catch. A video inspection will show exactly where the debris is entering your airflow. Call (470) 326-1926 for a free estimate.
Carrier systems in Alpharetta’s 1990s-2000s homes with original flex duct should be inspected every 3-5 years and cleaned when video inspection shows measurable accumulation. Homes with significant tree canopy exposure, pets, or recent renovation may need more frequent attention. We base our recommendation on what the camera shows, not a calendar. Call (470) 326-1926 to schedule an inspection.
Yes. Sagging creates turbulent airflow and low-pressure pockets that reduce static efficiency, force the blower motor to work harder, and allow conditioned air to leak into the attic. In Alpharetta’s hot attics, this also means your system is paying to cool air that never reaches your living space. Repairing the sag and sealing the joints typically restores designed airflow without replacing the entire duct run.
Sometimes, but not always. Stuffiness in zoned Carrier systems often indicates a failed zone damper actuator or duct leakage causing pressure imbalance, not necessarily dirty ducts. Our video inspection distinguishes between debris accumulation and mechanical failure, so we quote the right fix instead of selling a cleaning that won’t solve the problem. Haven Standard Clause 1 requires the written price match the actual scope.
We use OEM Carrier parts when readily available and cost-effective, and high-quality aftermarket components that meet or exceed OEM specifications when they offer better value or faster availability. We are an independent service provider, not a Carrier-authorized dealer, so we select parts based on documented performance rather than brand mandate. Every part and labor item appears on the written proposal before work begins.
