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 Smyrna, GA
HVAC cleaning in Smyrna typically runs $280-$520 for a full system, and most jobs on the older ranch homes we serve reveal delaminated duct board that needs more than surface cleaning. We’re CleanRun Duct Repair & Cleaning, and crews dispatched from our Atlanta office work Smyrna’s 1960s-1980s housing stock daily - brick ranches with fiberglass duct board that’s been cycling humid Atlanta-basin air for 40 to 50 years. Call (470) 495-9370 for a written estimate before any work starts.
Why Smyrna Homes Are Different
Smyrna’s housing stock is dominated by 1960s-1980s brick ranch homes built during the suburban boom tied to nearby defense and manufacturing employment, particularly Lockheed Georgia in adjacent Marietta. A large share still run original fiberglass duct board or early-generation flex-duct systems. After four-plus decades of cycling metro Atlanta’s notoriously humid summer air, those duct interiors delaminate, shed fiberglass particulates, and harbor mold colonies at rates that make a Smyrna duct cleaning job a genuine remediation call - not a cosmetic service.
Smyrna’s position in the Atlanta basin brings summers with sustained relative humidity of 70-90%, pushing central air systems to run six or more months per year. Ground moisture from Georgia red clay compounds the problem in crawl-space-routed flex duct. Technicians working the older central neighborhoods near the Village Green corridor frequently encounter original duct board with fully delaminated interior liners - the fiberglass facing separates from the substrate and gets pulled into the airstream, which means the job often uncovers a duct-replacement need rather than stopping at cleaning.
Our Main Smyrna Services
Most calls from Smyrna homeowners fall into three categories - each with its own dedicated page and documented approach.
Air Duct Cleaning in Smyrna
We clean the full duct network - supply and return runs, trunk lines, and plenum - using negative-pressure extraction (suction that pulls debris out while containing it, rather than blowing it through the house). On Smyrna’s older ranch homes, we expect to find degraded duct board and photograph every run before and after. Every job gets a written price first and a Documented Photo Record at completion. Read more about Air Duct Cleaning in Smyrna.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Smyrna
Dryer vent blockages are common in Smyrna’s original ranch construction where vents were routed through crawl spaces or long exterior wall runs. We clean the full vent path from appliance to termination, inspect for proper airflow, and document the before-and-after condition. A clogged dryer vent is a fire hazard - we treat it as such. Learn about Dryer Vent Cleaning in Smyrna.
Duct Repair & Sealing in Smyrna
Given the age of Smyrna’s duct stock, repair calls outpace cleaning-only jobs in the central neighborhoods. We seal disconnected runs, replace collapsed flex duct, and install new duct board where delamination has progressed past recovery. Every repair scope is written and priced before work begins. See Duct Repair & Sealing in Smyrna.

BeforeAfterHVAC Cleaning in Smyrna
HVAC cleaning in Smyrna means addressing systems that have run continuously through six-month humid summers since the Carter administration. The evaporator coils, blower assemblies, and condensate pans in these homes accumulate biological growth and debris that standard filter changes never reach. Our crews use Rotobrush and Nikro equipment to clean components without discharging contaminants into the living space, and every step is photographed for the job record. For a full overview of our approach, see HVAC Cleaning.
Evaporator Coil Cleaning
Signs you need it
Ice buildup on refrigerant lines, weak airflow from registers, or musty odor when the AC cycles on in Smyrna’s July humidity.
What it costs in Smyrna
Evaporator coil cleaning typically runs $180-$340 in Smyrna, depending on accessibility and whether the coil requires removal for cleaning.
How we do it
We access the coil through the plenum (the air distribution box), apply foaming cleaner, rinse with low-pressure water, and capture all runoff so nothing drains into the ductwork below.
Blower Cleaning
Signs you need it
Vibration or noise from the air handler, uneven heating or cooling between rooms, or dust puffing from registers when the system starts.
What it costs in Smyrna
Blower motor and wheel cleaning typically runs $140-$260 in Smyrna, with additional cost if the blower assembly must be removed for access.
How we do it
We remove the blower assembly, clean the wheel blades and housing with compressed air and contact cleaner, lubricate bearings per manufacturer spec, and photograph the assembly before reinstallation.
What HVAC Cleaning Costs in Smyrna
| Item | Typical range in Smyrna |
|---|---|
| Evaporator coil cleaning | $180-$340 |
| Blower cleaning | $140-$260 |
| Full HVAC system cleaning (coil, blower, air handler) | $280-$520 |
How do I know the HVAC cleaning was actually done?
Every HVAC cleaning in Smyrna includes a Documented Photo Record of the evaporator coil, blower assembly, and air handler interior - before and after - delivered as part of your job file. If the crew cannot show you photos of your actual equipment, the work is not complete under Haven Standard Clause 1.
Why does my Smyrna home’s AC smell musty every summer?
The combination of 70-90% humidity and decades-old duct board creates ideal conditions for mold and mildew on the evaporator coil and in the condensate pan; professional coil and pan cleaning removes the biological load, though degraded duct board may require separate repair. Call (470) 495-9370 for an exact quote - estimates are free.
Air Quality & Sanitizing in Smyrna
Air quality work in Smyrna addresses what decades of humid air circulation leaves behind: mold colonies in delaminated duct board, bacterial biofilm on coil surfaces, and persistent odors that survive standard cleaning. Our crews treat these as remediation jobs, not spray-and-wipe services, with application equipment from Abatement Technologies and verification through the photo record. For our full methodology, see Air Quality & Sanitizing.
Mold Treatment
Signs you need it
Visible black or green growth on register edges, musty odor that intensifies when the system runs, or recent water intrusion in crawl space or attic duct runs.
What it costs in Smyrna
Mold treatment for ductwork typically runs $320-$580 in Smyrna, with price dependent on linear footage of affected duct and whether the growth has penetrated duct board substrate.
How we do it
We apply EPA-registered antimicrobial through a fogging system that reaches the full duct interior, allow proper dwell time, then extract residue with negative-pressure equipment and photograph every treated run.
UV Light Installation
Signs you need it
Recurring mold after professional cleaning, family members with allergy symptoms that worsen seasonally, or a system location in a dark, humid crawl space or attic.
What it costs in Smyrna
UV-C light installation in the air handler or plenum typically runs $380-$620 in Smyrna, including the lamp assembly, mounting hardware, and electrical connection.
How we do it
We mount a Honeywell or Aprilaire UV-C lamp in the supply plenum where it irradiates the coil and immediate airstream, wire to the blower circuit for automatic operation, and show the customer the installed position before closing the panel.
What Air Quality & Sanitizing Costs in Smyrna
| Item | Typical range in Smyrna |
|---|---|
| Mold treatment (ductwork) | $320-$580 |
| UV-C light installation | $380-$620 |
| Combined air quality package (treatment + UV) | $580-$980 |
Is mold in my ducts dangerous, or just unpleasant?
Active mold in Smyrna’s aging duct board releases spores and fiberglass particulates into the breathing air; while individual sensitivity varies, the EPA recommends professional remediation when mold is visible or odor is present. Call (470) 495-9370 for an exact quote - estimates are free.
Will UV lights actually prevent mold in my humid crawl space?
UV-C lamps inhibit mold and bacterial growth on the evaporator coil and in the immediate plenum area, but they do not dry ductwork or address standing water; in Smyrna’s high-humidity crawl spaces, UV works best paired with proper condensate drainage and duct sealing.
