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 Dunwoody, GA
Whole-home HVAC cleaning in Dunwoody typically runs $450-$850 for a single system, with most jobs completed in one scheduled day. We’re CleanRun, and crews serving Dunwoody are dispatched from our Atlanta office with Rotobrush and Nikro negative-pressure extraction equipment. In this city, the work is different: most homes were built during DeKalb County’s 1970s-1980s expansion with fiberglass duct board now 40-50 years old, actively shedding fibers while pulling in pollen from one of metro Atlanta’s densest tree canopies. Call (470) 326-1926 for a written estimate before any work starts.
Why Dunwoody Homes Are Different
Dunwoody’s residential core was built almost entirely in the 1970s and 1980s during DeKalb County’s suburban expansion boom, meaning a large share of its single-family homes have original fiberglass duct board systems now 40-50 years old - well past design life and actively shedding fibers into living spaces. Unlike newer northern suburbs along the GA-400 corridor, this concentrated aging ductwork, combined with Dunwoody’s heavily canopied, high-pollen neighborhoods, creates a distinctive and largely unaddressed air quality problem that most longtime homeowners don’t realize exists.
Atlanta’s metro area consistently records some of the highest pollen counts in the United States, and Dunwoody’s mature tree canopy - heavy with oak, pine, and sweet gum - amplifies local airborne loads that get pulled directly into HVAC return systems. Six-plus months of continuous AC operation means those pollen and mold spore deposits compact and accumulate in ducts far faster than in drier or cooler climates. In subdivisions like Georgetown and Dunwoody Club Forest, many two-story colonials have long flex duct runs stapled through unconditioned attic space that regularly hits 140°F+ in July, causing the inner liner to delaminate and partially collapse.
Our Main Dunwoody Services
These are the three services Dunwoody homeowners call about most.
Air Duct Cleaning in Dunwoody
We clean every duct run with negative-pressure extraction, photographing the interior before and after. In Dunwoody, we regularly find 3-inch debris build-up at first elbows in 1980s ranch homes, plus collapsed flex runs in Georgetown and Dunwoody Club Forest attics. Every job includes a written price before work starts and a Documented Photo Record delivered afterward. Air Duct Cleaning in Dunwoody covers whole-home systems, partial cleanings, and post-renovation jobs.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Dunwoody
Dryer vent blockages are common in Dunwoody’s older split-levels where original vents were routed through 25-foot horizontal runs under insulation. We rotary-brush the full length and airflow-test afterward. A written price is agreed before we start, and you’ll receive before-and-after photos of the vent interior. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Dunwoody includes rooftop and through-wall terminations.
Duct Repair & Sealing in Dunwoody
We replace delaminated flex duct, seal disconnected runs with mastic, and repair collapsed sections in unconditioned attics. Dunwoody’s 140°F+ attic temperatures in July accelerate adhesive failure in original duct tape seals. Every repair scope is priced in writing before any panel comes off. Duct Repair & Sealing in Dunwoody restores airflow and reduces particulate release.

BeforeAfterHVAC Cleaning in Dunwoody
Whole-system HVAC cleaning in Dunwoody addresses a specific problem: 40-50 year old equipment running six months straight in high-pollen conditions, with evaporator coils caked in compressed debris and blower wheels throwing off balance from accumulated dust. The HVAC Cleaning service we deliver includes every component that moves or conditions air, photographed before and after, with a written price fixed before work begins under Haven Standard Clause 1.
Evaporator Coil Cleaning
Signs you need it
Ice formation on refrigerant lines, weak airflow from registers, or AC running continuously without reaching setpoint.
What it costs in Dunwoody
Evaporator coil cleaning typically runs $180-$340 in Dunwoody, with accessibility through a sealed plenum adding $40-$80 if the coil requires panel cutting.
How we do it
We access the coil through the plenum - the large sheet-metal box distributing air - apply foaming cleaner, rinse with low-pressure water capture, and photograph the fin surface before and after.
Blower Cleaning
Signs you need it
Vibration noise from the air handler, uneven airflow room-to-room, or dust puffing from registers when the system cycles on.
What it costs in Dunwoody
Blower wheel and housing cleaning ranges $150-$280 in Dunwoody, with squirrel-cage removal and rebalancing included in that figure.
How we do it
We remove the blower assembly, clean the wheel vanes with compressed air and solvent, vacuum the housing, and verify balance before reinstalling.
What HVAC Cleaning Costs in Dunwoody
| Item | Typical range in Dunwoody |
|---|---|
| Evaporator coil cleaning | $180 - $340 |
| Blower cleaning | $150 - $280 |
| Full system HVAC cleaning (coil + blower + housing) | $450 - $850 |
How do I know the HVAC cleaning was actually done?
Every component is photographed before and after, and those images are delivered as part of your job record - Haven Standard Clause 4, Documented Photo Record. You’ll see the coil fins and blower wheel directly.
Why does my Dunwoody home need HVAC cleaning more often than my sister’s in Minneapolis?
Dunwoody’s six-month cooling season and top-decile pollen counts compact debris faster; her system likely cycles less and pulls in lower particulate loads. Call (470) 326-1926 and we’ll assess your actual accumulation.
Air Quality & Sanitizing in Dunwoody
Air quality treatment in Dunwoody targets what 40-50 year old fiberglass duct board releases: particulate fibers, mold spores thriving in humidity-cycled plenums, and bacteria colonies established in decades of accumulated debris. The Air Quality & Sanitizing service applies EPA-registered treatments and installs permanent controls, with every option priced in writing before application.
Mold Treatment
Signs you need it
Musty odor when AC cycles on, visible spotting on vent registers, or family members with unexplained respiratory irritation during cooling season.
What it costs in Dunwoody
Whole-system mold treatment runs $350-$650 in Dunwoody, with severity and duct accessibility determining placement in that range.
How we do it
We apply an EPA-registered antimicrobial fog throughout the duct network, treat the plenum interior, and verify with post-treatment moisture readings.
UV Light Installation
Signs you need it
Recurring mold despite cleaning, chronic musty odor, or a household member with mold sensitivity.
What it costs in Dunwoody
UV-C light installation near the coil typically costs $400-$750 in Dunwoody, including the Honeywell or Aprilaire unit and electrical connection.
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 verify irradiance with a meter.
What Air Quality & Sanitizing Costs in Dunwoody
| Item | Typical range in Dunwoody |
|---|---|
| Mold treatment (whole system) | $350 - $650 |
| UV light installation | $400 - $750 |
| Combined mold treatment + UV installation | $650 - $1,100 |
Will mold treatment damage my old duct board?
Our application is a controlled fog, not liquid saturation - safe for fiberglass duct board in Dunwoody’s 1970s-1980s systems. We inspect for liner deterioration first and document condition in writing.
Does UV light actually work in Dunwoody’s humidity?
UV-C prevents mold colonization on the coil and in the plenum by breaking DNA bonds; it does not dry humidity. In Dunwoody, we pair UV with proper drainage verification so standing water doesn’t overwhelm the lamp’s prevention zone.

We stock filters, motors, and ignition components for Honeywell, Aprilaire, and other major brands, with most common parts available for next-day installation in Dunwoody. Our equipment roster includes Rotobrush, Nikro, and Abatement Technologies machines - our brands page lists full compatibility.
