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.
Nikro HVAC Cleaning in Johns Creek: What to Know First
CleanRun provides independent Nikro HVAC cleaning in Johns Creek for homeowners who want the work documented before they pay. A typical Nikro evaporator coil or blower cleaning runs $340-$620 for a single system, and we deliver a written price before touching a panel. The photo record of every duct run and component comes standard.
This page is for Johns Creek homeowners with Nikro air handlers, heat exchangers, or condenser units that need professional cleaning, not a sales visit dressed up as maintenance. We are not affiliated with or authorized by Nikro. We are an independent Nikro service provider with trade-grade equipment and a crew that knows where these units hide their problems.

How Nikro Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- Nikro SL4000 series blowers: The polymer wheel on SL4000 units tends to load unevenly with pet hair and fine drywall dust, especially in newer Johns Creek builds where construction debris sat in ducts through the first cooling season. The wheel goes out of balance, the motor draws high amperage, and the homeowner gets a “loud startup” complaint that gets misdiagnosed as motor failure. We remove the wheel, clean the vanes with a soft-bristle rotary tool, and check runout before reassembly. Replacing a motor that only needed cleaning is a $400 mistake we see other crews make.
- Nikro EC5000 evaporator coils: The lanced-fin design on EC5000 coils traps condensate between tight rows when Johns Creek humidity peaks in July and August. Biofilm forms in the valleys where standard foaming cleaner cannot reach, restricting airflow and dropping sensible capacity by 15-20 percent before the homeowner notices warm spots upstairs. We use low-pressure, heated rinse with a custom fin straightener for Nikro spacing, then apply a non-acidic coil treatment that does not void the remaining warranty.
- Nikro HX3000 heat exchangers: HX3000 units in two-story zoned systems around Medlock Bridge Road develop cold-start condensation corrosion where the secondary heat exchanger meets the collector box. The rust scale flakes into the blower compartment and recirculates as orange-brown dust at registers. We inspect with a borescope through the burner ports, document the heat exchanger integrity, and clean the collector box without disturbing factory-sealed joints.
- Nikro CU2000 condensers: The CU2000’s microchannel coil is efficient but fragile; pressure-washing bends the channels and creates internal leaks that only show up the following season. We clean with a directional, low-volume rinse and a fin comb matched to Nikro’s 21 fins-per-inch density. After cleaning, we pull a vacuum and verify refrigerant charge, since microchannel systems are unforgiving of slight undercharge.
- Nikro AM6000 air handlers with factory-installed UV: The UV lamp mounting bracket on AM6000 units blocks access to the upstream coil face, so “coil cleaning” from crews who do not remove the lamp assembly cleans only the downstream third. We pull the lamp per Nikro’s torque spec, clean the full coil face, and reinstall with a new O-ring. The lamp hours get logged in your job record so you know when replacement is due.
Our Nikro HVAC Cleaning Process

- 1
Systematic inspection with photo baseline. We photograph the blower wheel, coil face, heat exchanger ports, and condenser fins before touching anything. Tomas Reyes started this practice after years of hearing “it was fine before you got here.” The photo goes first. The price comes after.
- 2
Written scope and price, Haven Standard Clause 1. You get a line-item scope with a single flat price per system. No per-vent add-ons, no “while we’re here” upgrades. Sign or decline; either way, you keep the written estimate.
- 3
Component-specific cleaning protocol. We match the method to the Nikro model: rotary soft-brush for SL4000 blowers, heated low-pressure rinse for EC5000 coils, borescope-guided collector cleaning for HX3000 heat exchangers. Equipment includes Nikro-branded tools plus Rotobrush and Abatement Technologies backup systems.
- 4
OEM versus quality aftermarket parts decision. When a part needs replacement, we show you the exact component, explain the warranty implications of each option, and install what you select. We do not source gray-market coils or universal blower wheels that fit poorly and fail early.
- 5
Post-clean testing and documentation. Static pressure, temperature split, and amp draw get recorded against the pre-clean baseline. You receive the full photo record, test results, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing before we pack up.
- 6
Cleanup and standard deliverables. The work area gets vacuumed, panels are reinstalled to factory torque, and your documented job record is emailed within 24 hours.

Why Johns Creek Homeowners Call CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Johns Creek for Nikro Work

We have cleaned Nikro equipment in Johns Creek since 2013, including the zoned systems in neighborhoods off Medlock Bridge Road where two-story returns create secondary accumulation points most crews never check. Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed under Haven Standard Clause 3: Verified Crews, and they arrive with the Nikro-specific tools to do the job without improvising.
The 365-Day Done Right Promise is not a marketing phrase. It is a written guarantee on every job. If the work is not right, we make it right. No manager approval, no runaround.
When your Nikro unit needs attention, we also service Lennox, Trane, and Carrier systems, so mixed-brand households get consistent documentation across every system. Since our first job in 2013, we have served over 52,000 homes with a written price before work started and a photo record when we left. That is the only way we operate.
FAQs
No, if the work is performed without acid-based cleaners, high-pressure washing on microchannel coils, or unqualified disassembly of sealed combustion components. We use non-acidic, manufacturer-compatible treatments and document our methods in your job record so warranty claims remain valid. Call (470) 326-1926 if you need a copy of our cleaning protocol for your warranty file.
Replacement becomes the honest recommendation when the heat exchanger shows cracks under borescope inspection, the microchannel coil has internal leaks verified by nitrogen testing, or repair costs exceed 40 percent of replacement value. Everything else, we clean and restore. We show you the inspection photos and explain the numbers before you decide.
For coils and heat exchangers, OEM preserves warranty coverage and ensures exact fin geometry. For blower wheels and UV lamp assemblies, quality aftermarket parts from Guardsman and Honeywell meet or exceed OEM specifications at lower cost. We stock both, show you the exact part, and let you choose with full information.
A single-system evaporator coil and blower cleaning takes three to four hours including documentation and testing. A full system with heat exchanger inspection runs five to six hours. We do not rush the photo record or the post-clean verification. The written scope specifies the time block before you confirm the appointment.
Evaporator coils and blowers in Johns Creek’s pollen-heavy spring and high-humidity summer typically need cleaning every three to four years. Homes with indoor pets, recent renovation, or construction-era drywall dust may need service every two years. We date your photo record and note the accumulation rate so you can plan the next cycle with actual data, not a calendar reminder.
