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.

AfterTrane Air Duct Cleaning in Atlanta, GA | CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Atlanta
We provide independent Trane service across Atlanta, not as an authorized dealer but as a crew that cleans, repairs, and reseals Trane systems every week. The one thing that makes our Trane work here different: we document what we find before we quote a price, and we tie every problem we see to Atlanta’s actual conditions - the pollen load, the attic heat, the 1970s flex retrofits - not to a generic checklist. Call (470) 495-9370 for a free estimate with a written price before any work starts.
Why Atlanta Residents Choose Us for Trane Service
We’ve been running jobs across Atlanta since 2013, and Trane equipment shows up on our schedule more than any other brand. The XR14s and XV18s are common in the 2015-2025 builds from Smyrna to Decatur, and we still find Tempo air handlers and early XB builder-grade units holding on in the 1960s ranch tracts off Cobb Parkway. We know how Trane’s cabinet geometry, coil slab orientation, and flex-duct tie-ins behave in Georgia’s humid, pollen-heavy air because we’ve photographed the inside of hundreds of them.
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 his crew have run plenty of jobs in 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. We’re independently owned and operated under the Haven Standard, not a franchise, and we carry OEM Trane parts for control boards, blower motors, and coil slabs alongside quality aftermarket flex duct, mastic, and insulation. Every technician is background-checked and uniformed under Haven Standard Clause 3: Verified Crews. Trane sales & service details are available for customers considering new equipment, but our focus on this page is keeping existing Trane systems running clean.
Common Trane Air Duct Cleaning Problems We Solve in Atlanta
- All-aluminum evaporator coils fouled with pollen and mold. Trane introduced these coils across many lines around 2017. In Atlanta’s sustained humidity above 60%, pine and oak pollen that settles on the slab doesn’t dry out - it mats, restricts airflow, and the coil ices up or throws high head pressure. We clean the coil in place when possible and document the before-and-after with our camera.
- Fiberglass duct board trunk lines shedding fibers into the blower wheel. Common in 1970s-80s Trane retrofits in neighborhoods like Virginia-Highland and Candler Park. Attic temperatures exceeding 130°F degrade the board’s facing; loose fibers load the blower and raise static pressure until variable-speed units fault out. We replace delaminated board with sealed flex or sheet metal.
- Mastic and cloth tape failures at supply plenum takeoffs. The heat cycling in Atlanta’s unconditioned attics cracks old seals, pulling pollen-laden attic air directly into supply lines. We see this on Trane systems in Grant Park bungalows where the plenum was sealed fifteen years ago and never checked. We reseal with fresh mastic and mechanical fasteners.
- XV series variable-speed air handlers throwing low-airflow fault codes. Homeowners call thinking it’s a board or motor failure. Often it’s a loaded blower wheel or restricted secondary heat exchanger raising static pressure past the VFD’s tolerance. We measure static pressure first, clean the wheel and exchanger, and only quote a motor if the amp draw justifies it.
- Collapsed flex duct in crawl spaces and attic chases. The 1980s retrofits in intown bungalows - Cherokee Avenue in Grant Park, for example - used flex that sagged under decades of Georgia humidity. Kinked sections become dense traps for pollen and mold that a brush pass alone won’t clear. We cut out collapsed runs and replace them as part of the cleaning scope.
BeforeAfterTrane Service in Atlanta: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Atlanta’s combined pine and oak pollen season pushes local pollen counts so high that cars and porches turn yellow-green for weeks - that same load gets pulled into Trane return drops and settles on coil slabs and blower wheels before summer humidity can mold it. In intown bungalow neighborhoods, we also see a second wave each fall when leaf litter and dust from the canopy overhead migrate through attic vents and leaky Trane plenum seams. This isn’t a theoretical concern. In a 1948 Craftsman bungalow off Cherokee Avenue in Grant Park, a homeowner’s 2018 Trane XR14 was short-cycling and the upstairs rooms ran 5°F warm; our camera showed the original 1980s flex runs sagged in the crawl space, packed with pine pollen and visible mold at the low spots. We cut out and replaced the collapsed flex, mastic-sealed the Trane supply plenum takeoffs, cleaned the evaporator coil and blower, and the homeowner’s static pressure dropped enough that the XR14 stopped tripping on high head pressure. The camera doesn’t negotiate.
Atlanta service area coverage includes the full metro, from the intown bungalow districts to the outer county ranch tracts.
Trane Models & Products We Service in Atlanta
We work on the full range of residential Trane equipment found in Atlanta homes:
- XR series - XR13, XR14, XR16 single-stage splits, common in 2015-2022 builds across Gwinnett and DeKalb
- XB series - XB13, XB14 builder-grade units, still running in entry-level subdivisions near College Park and Mableton
- XV series - XV18, XV20i variable-speed communicating systems, increasingly common in higher-end North Atlanta renovations
- Tempo and legacy air handlers - original equipment still in service in 1960s-70s ranch homes across Cobb County
We stock OEM Trane control boards, blower motors, and coil slabs for same-day repair when calibration matters. For duct repairs, we use quality aftermarket flex duct, mastic, and insulation where the spec is interchangeable - Rotobrush, Nikro, and Abatement Technologies equipment on every job. The honest call on Trane equipment is usually repair-and-seal: if the cabinet, coil, and heat exchanger are sound, cleaning, sealing, and new flex runs restore performance for a fraction of a system swap.
Trane Service Pricing in Atlanta
CleanRun’s flat price for Trane air duct cleaning in Atlanta runs $249 to $399 depending on system size, agreed in writing before any work starts under Haven Standard Clause 1. That range covers full negative-pressure extraction of all duct runs, register and return cleaning, evaporator coil and blower wheel access and cleaning, and the documented photo record delivered as a standard job file.
What drives the cost: number of duct runs, accessibility (crawl space versus basement), whether flex duct replacement is needed, and coil condition. A straightforward XR14 in a ranch with a vented attic and eight runs sits at the lower end. A XV20i in a Grant Park bungalow with collapsed 1980s flex, a fouled coil, and plenum resealing runs higher. We don’t price per vent. We don’t offer $79 coupons that balloon once the truck arrives. We quote one flat price per system, in writing, and that’s the price.
Every estimate includes a free video inspection of the duct interior. Call (470) 495-9370 for an exact quote - estimates are free, and we put our number next to any competitor’s written estimate under our Free Second Opinion policy.

FAQs - Trane Air Duct Cleaning in Atlanta
No. Routine duct cleaning does not void a Trane manufacturer’s warranty, provided the work is performed by qualified technicians who don’t damage components. We are an independent service provider, not Trane-authorized, and we document our work with photos to protect both parties. Call (470) 495-9370 if you have questions about your specific warranty terms.
It’s usually the ducts or a loaded blower wheel, not the motor. We measure static pressure across the system first; if it’s above 0.5 inches water column, the VFD is protecting itself. Cleaning the blower wheel, secondary heat exchanger, and duct runs often restores airflow without a motor replacement. The camera shows the difference between a dirty wheel and a failing motor. Call (470) 495-9370 for a diagnostic with written pricing.
Every three to five years for most Atlanta homes, but every two to three years if you’re under heavy tree canopy in intown neighborhoods like Virginia-Highland or Candler Park. The pollen load here is objectively higher than comparable Southern metros, and the humidity extends the season. Homes with pets or recent renovation dust may need more frequent service. Call (470) 495-9370 and we’ll scope the ducts to give you a specific interval.
Collapsed flex duct cannot be cleaned effectively. The kinked section traps debris and restricts airflow permanently; a brush pass just pushes material around the obstruction. We cut out collapsed runs and replace them with new flex, properly supported and sealed, as part of the cleaning scope. We photograph the collapse before removal so you see why replacement was necessary. Call (470) 495-9370 for an inspection.
We specialize in residential Trane systems - single-family homes, townhomes, and small multi-family. We do not service commercial rooftop units. For Atlanta homeowners with Trane splits, air handlers, or packaged units, we provide full cleaning, repair, and resealing with documented photo records. Call (470) 495-9370 to discuss your residential system.
