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.

AfterLennox Air Duct Cleaning in Decatur, GA | CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Atlanta
We provide independent Lennox service across Decatur’s intown neighborhoods, and the one thing that makes our work here different is this: we’ve cleaned ductwork on hundreds of Lennox systems in 1920s Craftsman bungalows where the flex duct was retrofitted through crawl spaces never designed for it. That combination - Lennox’s specific plenum and coil designs plus Decatur’s pre-HVAC housing stock - creates failure patterns we’ve documented in writing and on camera since 2013. Call (470) 495-9370 for a written estimate before any work starts.
Why Decatur Residents Choose Us for Lennox Service
We’ve pulled ductwork on Lennox systems in Decatur since before the BeltLine made Oakhurst a destination neighborhood. Our crew knows the difference between a Merit Series ML14XC1 packaged unit and a Signature SL28XCV variable-capacity split - and we know which ones were installed with the flexible duct board that turns to fibrous debris after twenty years in a Winnona Park crawl space.
Tomas Reyes, our owner, grew up in the Bronx and picked up his trade fundamentals at Bronx Community College before spending the better part of two decades pulling duct work on both sides of the Mason-Dixon line. He and our crew have run jobs across Atlanta for years, including plenty of older split-level homes near Cascade Heights where the flex duct runs long and the debris tells a clear story about how many filters got skipped. Tomas is known for showing customers the before-and-after camera footage without being asked, and for quoting a flat price - typically $249 to $399 depending on system size - before a single tool comes off the truck.
We’re not authorized by Lennox. We’re not endorsed. We’re independent technicians who’ve documented our work on thousands of Lennox residential systems across metro Atlanta, and we stock genuine Lennox OEM flex duct, plenum collars, and mastic sealants for systems under 15 years old. For older retrofits, we use high-quality aftermarket flex duct and insulation where OEM parts no longer match the existing run. The camera doesn’t negotiate. Every duct run is photographed before and after, and that photo record is yours as a standard deliverable.

Common Lennox Air Duct Cleaning Problems We Solve in Decatur
- Flex duct sag and condensation pooling. Lennox Merit and Elite installs in Oakhurst bungalows often run flex duct through vented crawl spaces sitting close to Georgia red clay soil. The humid subtropical climate pushes summer indoor humidity into ranges where condensation forms on supply ducts, creating low spots where water pools and mold colonies form at the inner liner. We replace the sagging run with properly supported duct and seal every joint with mastic.
- Deteriorating duct board debris. Lennox’s older flexible duct board interiors - common on 1990s and 2000s retrofits in Winnona Park - break down into fibrous material that the blower pulls into the return plenum. That debris clogs the evaporator coil and reduces airflow across the system. We clean the coil and blower assembly, then replace deteriorated duct board with new flex duct or sheet metal where appropriate.
- Pollen mat accumulation in return plenums. Decatur’s Tree City USA canopy of oaks and pines dumps so much pollen into return-air systems that our technicians pull compressed yellow-green mats - sometimes an inch thick - out of Lennox return plenums in Oakhurst bungalows every spring. That volume of biological debris forces the blower to work harder and pulls debris through the coil. We remove the mats, clean the plenum, and document the difference on camera.
- Supply trunk leakage in kneewall spaces. Improperly sealed Lennox supply trunk transitions in unconditioned attic kneewall spaces leak conditioned air into crawl spaces, drawing in moisture, pest debris, and mold spores at every joint. We pressure-test the system, identify leakage points, and reseal with mastic and mechanical fasteners.
- Evaporator coil clogging from combined debris loads. The intersection of Decatur’s pollen volume and its crawl-space moisture creates a debris type we don’t see in newer construction: sticky, mold-anchored particulate that coats Lennox evaporator coils and reduces heat transfer efficiency. We clean coils with foaming agents and mechanical brushing, not high-pressure washing that can damage fins.
BeforeAfterLennox Service in Decatur: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Decatur holds Tree City USA designation and has one of the densest urban forest canopies in metro Atlanta. That distinction shapes our Lennox duct cleaning work in a way no generic page captures. Local technicians - ours included - routinely pull compressed pollen mats, visibly yellow-green from pine and oak, out of return-air plenums in Oakhurst bungalows each spring. The volume of biological debris is simply not present in the newer slab-on-grade subdivisions a few miles east in unincorporated DeKalb County, where the tree canopy is thinner and the return paths are shorter and straighter.
For Lennox owners, this means two things. First, the return-air plenum on your Merit or Elite system is working as a collection point for material the blower was never sized to handle. Second, that pollen load combines with crawl-space moisture to create a debris matrix that adheres to evaporator coils and lingers in flex duct inner liners long after the spring season ends. A standard vacuum pass won’t remove it. We use negative-pressure extraction - pulling debris through the system with controlled suction rather than blowing it deeper - combined with mechanical agitation at the plenum and register points. The camera shows the difference. The photo record proves it.
We serve Decatur service area homeowners with this understanding built into every estimate: your Lennox system isn’t dirty in a generic way. It’s dirty in a Decatur-specific way, and the fix has to account for that.
Lennox Models & Products We Service in Decatur
We clean and repair ductwork on the full Lennox residential lineup, with specific attention to the model families most common in Decatur’s retrofit housing stock:
- Merit Series: ML14XC1 and ML13KC packaged and split systems - often the original equipment in 1990s-2000s retrofits, now showing duct board deterioration and flex-duct sag.
- Elite Series: EL16XC1 and EL18XPV air conditioners and heat pumps - variable-speed blowers that are sensitive to return-side restriction from pollen mat accumulation.
- Signature Series: SL28XCV and SL25KCV variable-capacity systems - precision equipment where evaporator coil cleanliness directly affects capacity modulation.
- Dave Lennox Signature Collection: SLP98V furnaces with variable-speed blowers - the blower’s low-speed operation can mask airflow restriction until efficiency drops sharply.
We stock genuine Lennox OEM flex duct, plenum collars, and mastic sealants for systems under 15 years old. For older retrofits where OEM parts no longer match the existing run, we use high-quality aftermarket flex duct and insulation and tell you honestly whether repair or replacement is the smarter long-term call given Decatur’s moisture load.
Lennox Service Pricing in Decatur
Air Duct Cleaning - Decatur for Lennox equipment typically runs $249 to $399, depending on system size, accessibility, and whether we’re also cleaning the evaporator coil and blower assembly. That price is flat per system, agreed in writing before work starts under Haven Standard Clause 1. No per-vent pricing. No add-ons after the truck arrives.
What drives the cost:
- Number of duct runs and total linear footage
- Crawl-space or kneewall accessibility (tight spaces take longer)
- Whether evaporator coil cleaning is included
- Extent of flex duct repair or replacement needed

FAQs - Lennox Air Duct Cleaning in Decatur
Decatur’s pre-HVAC housing stock routes retrofitted flex duct through vented crawl spaces that sit close to Georgia red clay soil, creating humidity levels that purpose-built duct runs in newer slab-on-grade homes never see. Your friend’s system likely has shorter, straighter duct paths in conditioned or semi-conditioned space. We address the moisture source alongside the cleaning - sealing joints, improving support, and documenting conditions - rather than treating mold as a one-time event.
For Lennox systems in Decatur’s Tree City canopy zone, we recommend inspection every two to three years and cleaning when the photo record shows debris accumulation exceeding manufacturer airflow specs. Homes in Oakhurst and Winnona Park with heavy spring pollen exposure and crawl-space moisture often need more frequent attention than the same equipment in drier, less wooded settings. Call (470) 495-9370 and we’ll put an inspection on the calendar - estimates are free.
Yes. We use foaming agents and soft mechanical brushing, never high-pressure washing that can bend the aluminum fins or push debris into the refrigerant circuit. Signature Series coils are fin-dense and capacity-sensitive - restriction from debris forces the variable-capacity compressor to run outside its design envelope. We document coil condition before and after, and we verify airflow recovery with static pressure measurement.
We replace it. Repair tape or patch kits on flex duct in Decatur’s humid crawl spaces fail within a season - the adhesive degrades, the inner liner separates, and you’re back where you started. We install properly supported new flex duct or transition to sheet metal where the run allows, seal with mastic at every joint, and photograph the completed work. For systems under 15 years old, we use Lennox OEM flex duct where it matches the existing plenum connection.
We stock genuine Lennox OEM flex duct, plenum collars, and mastic sealants for systems under 15 years old.
