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 North Atlanta, GA
HVAC cleaning in North Atlanta typically runs $400-$800 for a full system, with most jobs completed in a single visit. The area’s concentration of 1980s-90s two-story homes with aging flexible ductwork in 130°F attics, combined with the highest pollen counts in the nation, creates conditions that accelerate debris buildup and duct degradation faster than in newer markets. We serve North Atlanta from our Atlanta office, with crews dispatched to Dunwoody, Sandy Springs, and Roswell daily. Call (470) 495-9370 for a written estimate before any work begins.
Why North Atlanta Homes Are Different
The Sunbelt building boom across North Atlanta’s northern suburbs left thousands of large two-story homes with original flexible ductwork now 25-40 years old. In attics that regularly exceed 130°F during Georgia’s six-month cooling season, that flex duct liner degrades and sags, creating debris traps and airflow restrictions that newer markets simply don’t face.
Then comes spring. The dense pine and oak canopy across Dunwoody and Sandy Springs drives pollen counts among the highest in the United States, with visible yellow-green coatings on cars and driveways. Technicians here routinely find compacted pollen layers inside return air boots and the first several feet of return duct, a seasonal buildup so consistent it has become a reliable indicator when showing homeowners their before-condition. The combination of aging infrastructure and extreme allergen load makes North Atlanta distinctively demanding work.
Our Main North Atlanta Services
North Atlanta homeowners most often call us about these three services, each with its own dedicated local page.
Air Duct Cleaning in North Atlanta
We clean the full duct network, from return plenum (the main collection box) through every duct run (the individual supply and return lines) to each register. In North Atlanta’s 1980s-90s homes, we expect to find degraded flex duct with sagging sections that trap debris, plus the seasonal pollen compaction that defines this market. Every job ends with a Documented Photo Record of every run. Air Duct Cleaning in North Atlanta
Dryer Vent Cleaning in North Atlanta
Dryer vent blockages are a fire hazard and efficiency killer. In North Atlanta’s wooded neighborhoods, lint combines with airborne pollen and outdoor debris that enters through compromised vent hoods. We use negative-pressure extraction (suction-based removal) and rotary brushing to clear the full vent path, then photograph the interior condition before and after.

Duct Repair & Sealing in North Atlanta
Aging flex duct in North Atlanta attics suffers from torn outer jackets, collapsed inner cores, and disconnected joints. We repair or replace damaged sections and seal leaks with mastic or metal-backed tape, then test static pressure to verify the fix. All work is documented with before-and-after photos and backed by our 365-Day Done Right Promise. Duct Repair & Sealing in North Atlanta

BeforeAfterHVAC Cleaning in North Atlanta
North Atlanta’s 25-40-year-old HVAC systems run hard through six-month cooling seasons in 130°F attics, drawing pollen-laden air through filtration that is easily overwhelmed. Evaporator coils foul with biological growth, blowers accumulate fine debris that reduces airflow, and condensate pans in humid conditions become breeding grounds for mold. HVAC Cleaning addresses these component-level failures that duct cleaning alone cannot fix.
Evaporator Coil Cleaning
Signs you need it
Ice formation on refrigerant lines, weak airflow from registers, or cooling that cannot keep up on 95°F July afternoons in Sandy Springs.
What it costs in North Atlanta
Evaporator coil cleaning typically runs $250-$450 depending on accessibility and contamination level.
How we do it
We remove the coil access panel, apply foaming cleaner from Abatement Technologies, rinse with low-pressure water, and photograph the coil condition before and after.
Blower Cleaning
Signs you need it
Unusual vibration, longer cooling cycles, or dust puffing from registers when the system starts.
What it costs in North Atlanta
Blower cleaning typically runs $200-$350 for standard residential units.
How we do it
We remove the blower assembly, clean the wheel and housing with compressed air and solvent, balance the assembly, and document with photos.
What HVAC Cleaning Costs in North Atlanta
| Item | Typical range in North Atlanta |
|---|---|
| Evaporator coil cleaning | $250-$450 |
| Blower cleaning | $200-$350 |
| Full HVAC system cleaning (coil, blower, air handler) | $400-$800 |
How do I know my HVAC needs cleaning, not just my ducts?
If your ducts are clean but rooms stay warm, the evaporator coil or blower is likely fouled. We inspect both during any duct cleaning and will show you the photo evidence before recommending HVAC cleaning. Call (470) 495-9370 for a free inspection.
Can HVAC cleaning fix mold in my system?
Cleaning removes visible mold from coils and blowers, but active colonization inside duct insulation requires separate mold treatment. We photograph everything and will tell you exactly which service applies. Call (470) 495-9370 for a written scope.
Air Quality & Sanitizing in North Atlanta
North Atlanta’s humid subtropical climate, with six months of continuous cooling and attic temperatures exceeding 130°F, creates ideal conditions for mold colonization inside deteriorating flex duct insulation. The same pollen that coats cars in spring feeds biological growth when combined with moisture from condensate leaks or high indoor humidity. Air Quality & Sanitizing targets these living contaminants that mechanical cleaning alone cannot eliminate.
Mold Treatment
Signs you need it
Musty odor when the system runs, visible growth on registers, or family members with worsening allergy symptoms in cooled spaces.
What it costs in North Atlanta
Mold treatment typically runs $300-$600 depending on affected duct length and accessibility in attic spaces.
How we do it
We apply EPA-registered antimicrobial through the full duct network, treat the evaporator coil and condensate pan, and verify with follow-up photos.
UV Light Installation
Signs you need it
Recurring mold after treatment, or a system located in a damp basement or crawl space common in older Sandy Springs ranches.
What it costs in North Atlanta
UV light installation typically runs $400-$700 including the lamp and electrical connection.
How we do it
We mount a Honeywell or Aprilaire UV-C lamp in the supply plenum, wire to the blower circuit, and show you the installation in your photo record.
What Air Quality & Sanitizing Costs in North Atlanta
| Item | Typical range in North Atlanta |
|---|---|
| Mold treatment | $300-$600 |
| UV light installation | $400-$700 |
| Whole-system air quality package | $500-$900 |
Is mold in my ducts common in North Atlanta?
Yes, the combination of 130°F attic heat degrading duct liners and high spring-through-fall humidity makes mold more common here than in drier corridors south of the city. We find it in roughly one-third of homes with original flex duct over 25 years old. Call (470) 495-9370 for a free inspection with photos.
Do UV lights actually prevent mold?
UV-C lamps inhibit mold growth on the coil and in the immediate plenum area when properly sized and maintained, but they do not clean existing debris. We install them as a preventive measure after thorough cleaning, not as a substitute. Call (470) 495-9370 for a written recommendation.
