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.

AfterFast, Reliable Air Duct Cleaning Across Arvada
Air duct cleaning in Arvada typically runs $380-$720 for a full residential system, and every job starts with a written price before work begins. Our crews serve Arvada from our Denver office, carrying Rotobrush and Nikro equipment through neighborhoods from Olde Town to Candelas daily. Call (720) 315-7291 for a free written estimate.
We’ve worked the full span of Arvada’s housing stock. The 1950s-1970s ranch corridors near Wadsworth and Kipling, where original galvanized ductwork sits in unfinished basements. The newer foothills-adjacent builds in Candelas, where post-construction dust dries hard in flex runs before homeowners ever flip the thermostat. The tri-levels along Ralston Road with fiberglass duct board degrading internally after sixty years. Each configuration demands different equipment, different agitation tools, different camera inspection protocols. Our Air Duct Cleaning team documents every run, before and after, as part of the standard job record.
Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Littleton Is Arvada’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
Since 2013, we’ve served over 52,000 homes with one rule: written price first, documented photo record last. No exceptions. Tomas Reyes built CleanRun on the H.A.V.E.N. Standard because the duct-cleaning industry runs on opacity - coupon prices that triple once the van arrives, shop-vac noise sold as source removal, no proof the work happened at all.
Our Arvada customers receive Haven Standard Clause 1 in writing: one flat price per system, agreed before a single register comes off. Haven Standard Clause 3 means verified, background-checked, uniformed technicians who identify themselves by name before arrival. The 365-Day Done Right Promise is backed in writing on every job - if the work is not right, we make it right. Not a policy subject to manager approval. A written guarantee.
We publish our equipment roster so customers can verify it: Rotobrush agitation systems, Nikro negative-pressure extractors, Honeywell and Aprilaire filtration components. Professional-grade tools, named specifically, that you can research independently before agreeing to any price.
All calls are answered by a live person, 24/7. Scheduling is coordinated from our Denver office; crews serve Arvada locally.
Our Air Duct Cleaning Services in Arvada
Residential Duct Cleaning
Arvada’s established neighborhoods - the 1,200-1,800 square foot ranches and tri-levels built between 1955 and 1978 around Wadsworth, Kipling, and Ralston Road - commonly contain original galvanized or early sheet-metal duct runs that have never been professionally cleaned. These systems often include fiberglass duct board sections that degrade internally over decades, spreading particulate through the whole system even after surface cleaning. Our residential service puts the entire system under negative-pressure extraction (a sealed vacuum that pulls debris out without releasing it into your home) with HEPA filtration, then agitates and removes buildup from every accessible duct run.
Commercial Duct Cleaning
Arvada’s commercial buildings along Sheridan Boulevard and in the Olde Town corridor range from converted 1960s retail with original rooftop units to newer mixed-use developments. Commercial systems require larger-capacity Nikro extractors and coordinated shutdown scheduling. We provide the same documented photo record as our residential jobs - every commercial client receives before-and-after images of each duct run, written into the job scope before work begins.
Supply Duct Cleaning
Supply ducts push conditioned air into your rooms; when they’re loaded with debris, your system works harder for less result. In Arvada’s older homes, we regularly find supply registers that look clean while the duct behind them holds years of compacted Front Range dust. We clean the full supply path from the plenum (the central distribution box) to each register, not just the visible vent cover.
Return Duct Cleaning
Return ducts pull air back to the air handler for reconditioning. They’re the system’s intake, and in Arvada they collect disproportionate debris - especially in homes near open land or unpaved roads where dust and pollen loading runs higher. Return duct cleaning is critical because a dirty return path recirculates particulate through the blower motor and back into supply. We emphasize this sub-service because many competitors clean only supply registers and call the job complete.
Full System Cleaning
This is our most specified service in Arvada. Full system cleaning addresses every component: supply runs, return runs, the plenum, the air handler cabinet, and the blower motor. In the older ranch corridors near Ralston Road and Kipling, we pulled original galvanized supply and return ducts from a 1962 tri-level that had never been cleaned, finding fiberglass duct board degrading internally and a blower motor caked with fine Front Range dust. After putting the system under negative pressure with HEPA filtration, we used agitation tools to dislodge decades of debris, then camera inspection confirmed the runs were clear and the MERV rating on the filter could finally do its job.
Video Inspection
Every full system cleaning includes video inspection as a standard deliverable. We run cameras through the ductwork before work starts to identify blockages, degradation, and debris depth - then again after cleaning to verify source removal. Arvada homeowners receive these recordings as part of the documented photo record. No guesswork. No “trust us, it’s clean.”

BeforeAfterTrusted Brands We Service in Arvada
CleanRun technicians arrive with equipment from Abatement Technologies, Honeywell, and Aprilaire - brands recognized across the HVAC trade for filtration and air-quality components. We stock replacement media and hardware for these systems so Arvada customers aren’t waiting on shipped parts. If your system uses Honeywell electronic air cleaners or Aprilaire media filters, we can assess their condition during the same visit and note any needed replacements in the written scope before work starts. Fast turnaround matters when your system is already open.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Arvada Homes
- Original sheet-metal runs in 1955-1978 ranches with no service history. The bulk of Arvada’s housing stock in corridors around Wadsworth and Kipling falls in this category. These systems commonly have never had ductwork addressed, and surface cleaning of registers misses decades of compacted debris in the trunk lines.
- Fiberglass duct board degradation in mid-century construction. Fiberglass duct board sections common in 1955-1978 Arvada ranches degrade internally over time, releasing particulate through the whole system even after surface cleaning. Camera inspection reveals this damage where visual register checks cannot.
- Post-construction dust locked in Candelas-area flex duct. Western Arvada’s newer foothills-adjacent developments like Candelas consistently trap drywall dust and fine-grit debris in flex duct runs. The gusty, low-humidity conditions there dry and set construction particulate before homeowners ever run the system for the first time, making new-construction duct cleaning unusually common in that part of the city.
- Wildfire smoke particle infiltration near canyon-adjacent areas. Arvada sits at approximately 5,350 feet on the eastern slope of the Front Range. During Colorado’s increasingly severe wildfire seasons, smoke from fires in Jefferson County canyons (Coal Creek, Clear Creek, Lefthand) infiltrates HVAC systems and deposits fine combustion particles deep into duct runs that standard filter changes cannot address.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Arvada, CO
A typical residential duct cleaning in Arvada runs $380-$720 for a full system, depending on home size, duct accessibility, and contamination level. Return-only or supply-only cleaning ranges $180-$340. Commercial systems start around $850 and scale with square footage and HVAC unit count.
What moves the price: homes with finished basements where ductwork is enclosed behind drywall require additional access time; systems with heavy debris loading from decades of neglect need longer agitation and extraction cycles; post-construction cleaning in newer builds like Candelas typically falls mid-range because the debris is dry and brittle, not compacted.

FAQs - Air Duct Cleaning in Arvada
Every 3-5 years for homes with original sheet-metal or fiberglass duct board runs that have never been serviced, and every 2-3 years if you have pets, active remodeling, or live near unpaved roads where dust loading is higher. The 1955-1978 housing stock in this corridor commonly holds decades of compacted debris that standard filter changes cannot address. Call (720) 315-7291 and we’ll camera-inspect to give you a specific interval based on what we find.
Yes, unusually often. Western Arvada’s Candelas-area new builds trap post-construction drywall dust in flex runs before the first system run, because the gusty, low-humidity foothills air dries the grit in place. We’ve cleaned homes under two years old with measurable debris loads that the builder’s rough-clean missed. Full system cleaning with video inspection confirms whether your specific build has this issue.
No. Fine combustion particles from wildfire smoke in Jefferson County canyons lodge deep in duct runs, especially flex duct in newer homes. Standard filters, even MERV 13, capture only what passes through them at the air handler. Particles already deposited in the ductwork recirculate until source removal and negative-pressure extraction pull them out. We see this annually during Colorado’s heavy smoke seasons.
It means the work follows source-removal methods - agitation plus negative-pressure extraction - rather than surface cleaning or chemical fogging without debris removal. NADCA (National Air Duct Cleaners Association) standards require access to the full system, protection of the home during work, and verification of results. CleanRun’s documented photo record exceeds this baseline by delivering before-and-after images of every duct run to the customer.
Less common than in fully rural counties, but we do see them in properties on Arvada’s western and northern edges where lot sizes increase. These systems - workshop heaters, studio mini-splits with ducted air handlers, detached garage HVAC - accumulate the same debris as main house systems and often go longer without service because they’re out of sight. We include outbuilding systems in the written scope when requested, priced as separate systems.
