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.

Why College Park Homes Are Different
College Park sits directly under the approach and departure corridors of Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, the world’s busiest airport by passenger count. This proximity means residential HVAC systems here accumulate jet-exhaust ultrafine particulates and aviation-related carbon soot at rates that neighboring Union City or Riverdale simply don’t experience. Our crews routinely pull duct debris with a greasy, dark soot signature from College Park homes, identifiably different from the tan dust typical of Atlanta’s northern suburbs.
The housing stock compounds the issue. The College Park Historic District and surrounding neighborhoods are dominated by 1950s-1970s ranch-style brick homes, many still running original ductwork or first-generation replacements. Degraded flex duct and fiberglass-lined metal runs shed particulate into the airstream. Atlanta’s humid subtropical climate adds repeated condensation cycles inside ductwork from April through October, accelerating mold colonization on duct liner surfaces already burdened with airport soot.
Our Main College Park Services
College Park homeowners call us most often for these three services:
Air Duct Cleaning in College Park
We clean every duct run in College Park homes with negative-pressure extraction, the industry method that pulls debris from the entire system rather than pushing it deeper. The airport soot layer here requires additional agitation passes with Rotobrush equipment to break the greasy residue loose from fiberglass-lined metal runs common in 1960s-era College Park construction. Every run is photographed before and after. Air Duct Cleaning in College Park
Dryer Vent Cleaning in College Park
Dryer vent blockages in College Park often combine standard lint accumulation with the same carbon particulate that coats HVAC systems near the airport, creating a denser, more combustible buildup. We run a rotary brush through the full vent length and measure airflow before and after. The photo record shows the vent interior at the termination point. Dryer Vent Cleaning in College Park
Duct Repair & Sealing in College Park
Original ductwork in College Park’s mid-century ranch homes typically shows disconnected flex duct at plenum junctions, collapsed runs in crawl spaces, and sealant that failed decades ago. We repair with metal-backed tape and mastic, then pressure-test the system. Repairs are photographed and written into the scope before work begins. Duct Repair & Sealing in College Park

BeforeAfterHVAC Cleaning in College Park
HVAC cleaning in College Park addresses a contamination profile found almost nowhere else in metro Atlanta: the combination of airport ultrafine particulates, high pollen loads, and decades-old duct infrastructure in 1950s-1970s ranch homes. The evaporator coil and blower assembly become coated with a distinctive dark, greasy film that standard cleaning protocols often miss. HVAC Cleaning from CleanRun includes full system photography and a written scope before any work starts.
Evaporator Coil Cleaning
Signs you need it
Ice formation on refrigerant lines, weak airflow from registers, or AC running continuously without reaching set temperature in College Park’s peak summer months.
What it costs in College Park
Evaporator coil cleaning in College Park typically ranges $280-$420, with heavily contaminated coils from airport-adjacent homes at the higher end.
How we do it
We remove the coil access panel, apply foaming cleaner approved for aluminum fins, agitate with a soft-bristle brush, and rinse with low-pressure water capture to protect the drain pan.
Blower Cleaning
Signs you need it
Vibration noise from the air handler, uneven heating or cooling across rooms, or dust puffing from registers when the system cycles on.
What it costs in College Park
Blower motor and wheel cleaning in College Park runs $240-$360 depending on accessibility and contamination level.
How we do it
We remove the blower assembly, clean the wheel blades with a vacuum and brush, lubricate the motor per manufacturer spec, and photograph the assembly before reinstallation.
What HVAC Cleaning Costs in College Park
| Item | Typical range in College Park |
|---|---|
| Evaporator coil cleaning | $280-$420 |
| Blower cleaning | $240-$360 |
| Full HVAC system cleaning (coil, blower, cabinet) | $380-$680 |
Why does my College Park AC smell musty when it first turns on?
The musty smell comes from mold colonizing the evaporator coil and drain pan, accelerated by Atlanta’s humidity and the organic particulate load near the airport. We clean the coil, treat the pan, and photograph the before and after condition. Call (470) 495-9370 for an exact quote.
How do I know the HVAC cleaning was actually done?
Every CleanRun HVAC cleaning includes a Documented Photo Record of the coil, blower, and cabinet interior before and after, delivered as part of your job record. The photos are timestamped and show the specific components in your system, not stock images.
Air Quality & Sanitizing in College Park
Air quality and sanitizing in College Park targets the unique contamination layer that airport proximity creates: ultrafine particulates and carbon soot that standard filtration cannot capture, combined with mold-friendly humidity cycles in aging duct infrastructure. The 1950s-1970s ranch homes throughout the College Park Historic District and surrounding neighborhoods often lack the sealed duct systems that would otherwise contain these pollutants. Air Quality & Sanitizing from CleanRun includes whole-system assessment and written pricing before any treatment begins.
Mold Treatment
Signs you need it
Visible mold on register surfaces, musty odor persisting after cleaning, or family members with worsening allergy symptoms inside the home.
What it costs in College Park
Whole-system mold treatment in College Park typically ranges $450-$780 depending on contamination extent and duct accessibility.
How we do it
We apply an EPA-registered antimicrobial through the duct system using a fogging device, with focused treatment at the evaporator coil and any identified colonization points, then verify with post-treatment photography.
UV Light Installation
Signs you need it
Recurring mold after professional cleaning, frequent coil maintenance needs, or desire for continuous surface sanitization without chemical application.
What it costs in College Park
UV-C light installation in College Park runs $380-$620 for a properly sized unit with installation at the coil or air handler.
How we do it
We size the UV-C lamp to your air handler dimensions, mount it with a sight glass for future inspection, and wire it to the blower circuit for automatic operation.
What Air Quality & Sanitizing Costs in College Park
| Item | Typical range in College Park |
|---|---|
| Mold treatment (whole system) | $450-$780 |
| UV-C light installation | $380-$620 |
| Bacteria sanitizing (per system) | $220-$380 |
Is UV light worth it in College Park’s climate?
Atlanta’s extended cooling season keeps coils wet for months, making UV-C a practical investment for College Park homes with recurring mold. The lamp runs continuously when the blower operates, suppressing colonization between professional cleanings. Call (470) 495-9370 for sizing and pricing.
Can sanitizing remove the airport soot smell from my ducts?
Sanitizing addresses biological odor sources; the greasy carbon soot near Hartsfield-Jackson requires mechanical removal through full duct cleaning first. We assess the contamination type before recommending treatment, and we put the scope and price in writing.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in College Park
Standard residential air duct cleaning does not require a permit in College Park. Duct repair or modification that alters the HVAC system’s capacity may require inspection; we note any permit need in the written scope before work begins and handle the filing if required.
We typically schedule College Park appointments within 3-5 business days, with flexibility for homeowners near the airport who need coordination with flight schedules or noise-sensitive hours. All calls are answered by a live person who can check real-time availability.
Our equipment operates inside the home and is unaffected by airport operations. We do schedule mindful of peak departure noise if a homeowner requests, but our negative-pressure extractors run quietly enough that crews routinely work in homes directly under flight paths without issue.
