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 Aurora, CO
Full-system HVAC cleaning in Aurora typically runs $350-$650 for a standard single-family home, with air quality and sanitizing treatments adding $150-$400 depending on whether the job addresses microbial growth, persistent smoke odor, or post-wildfire particulate. We’re CleanRun Duct Repair & Cleaning, and crews are dispatched to Aurora from our Denver office daily. Call (720) 315-7291 for a written estimate before any work starts.
Why Aurora Homes Are Different
Aurora sits directly on the High Plains margin, fully exposed to persistent easterly winds that carry fine agricultural and prairie dust into homes at rates noticeably higher than Denver’s more sheltered western neighborhoods. The camera doesn’t lie: we regularly pull 2-4 inch debris build-ups at the first elbow in eastside ranch homes that haven’t been cleaned in 20 years.
Compounding this, Aurora’s large stock of 1970s-80s ranch homes came of age during the era when whole-house bypass humidifiers were commonly retrofitted onto forced-air systems to fight the region’s extreme dryness. Poorly maintained or oversized humidifiers introduce moisture into those aging duct runs, creating a local pattern where heavy plains-dust accumulation and microbial growth coexist in the same system. In neighborhoods immediately surrounding Buckley Space Force Base - Meadowood, Del Mar Parkway, Gateway Park - military-family tenant turnover creates steady move-in/move-out demand that experienced Aurora contractors recognize as a unique commercial niche.
The 1990s-2010s buildout in Saddle Rock, Tallyn’s Reach, and near Southlands mall added millions of square feet of builder-grade flex duct now entering its first 20-30-year cleaning cycle. Wildfire smoke seasons increasingly push combustion fine particulate into these systems whenever central air runs during summer burn events.
Our Main Aurora Services
Most Aurora homeowners who call us start with one of these three services:
Air Duct Cleaning in Aurora
We clean the full supply and return network with negative-pressure extraction - a sealed vacuum system that pulls debris from the duct run without releasing it into the living space. In Aurora, we pay particular attention to humidifier bypass lines and the plenum, where plains dust and moisture create packed debris. Every run is photographed before and after. Air Duct Cleaning in Aurora
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Aurora
Lint accumulation in the vent line between dryer and exterior termination is a documented fire hazard. We clear the full run with rotary brushes and inspect the termination for proper airflow. Aurora’s wind-driven dust can clog exterior caps faster than in sheltered areas, so we check termination type and clearance. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Aurora
Duct Repair & Sealing in Aurora
Original flex duct in Hoffman Heights and Del Mar Parkway corridor homes is often brittle or disconnected at the collar. We replace damaged sections and seal leaks with mastic, then test static pressure to verify the repair. Every repair scope is written and priced before work begins. Duct Repair & Sealing in Aurora

BeforeAfterHVAC Cleaning in Aurora
Aurora’s semi-arid climate and heavy dust load mean the components that actually move and condition your air - the coil, blower, and air handler - work harder and foul faster than in less exposed markets. Whole-system HVAC Cleaning addresses the machinery, not just the ductwork, and it’s where we find the thickest accumulation in homes near Buckley or along the eastern edge of the city.
Evaporator Coil Cleaning
Signs you need it
Ice on the coil, weak airflow from registers, or a musty smell when the AC first cycles on.
What it costs in Aurora
$180-$340 for standard residential access; tight attic or crawl-space locations may run higher.
How we do it
We remove the access panel, apply foaming cleaner to the fins, rinse with low-pressure water, and photograph the coil before and after.
Blower Cleaning
Signs you need it
Vibration noise, uneven airflow room-to-room, or dust puffing from registers at startup.
What it costs in Aurora
$150-$280 for most residential blowers; variable-speed ECM motors require additional care.
How we do it
We pull the blower assembly, clean the wheel and housing with compressed air and solvent, balance the wheel, and reinstall with new gasket material.
What HVAC Cleaning Costs in Aurora
| Item | Typical range in Aurora |
|---|---|
| Evaporator coil cleaning | $180-$340 |
| Blower cleaning | $150-$280 |
| Full system (coil + blower + air handler) | $350-$650 |
How do I know the coil was actually cleaned?
Every HVAC cleaning includes a Documented Photo Record of the coil, blower, and air handler interior - dated, labeled by location, and delivered with your job record. Haven Standard Clause 2 requires it.
Will cleaning the coil fix my AC freezing up?
Dirty coils are the most common cause of ice-up in Aurora, but low refrigerant or restricted airflow can also be factors. We inspect for all three and write the scope before touching tools. Call (720) 315-7291.
Air Quality & Sanitizing in Aurora
Aurora’s combination of heavy plains dust, aging humidifier retrofits, and increasingly severe wildfire smoke seasons creates conditions where particulate and microbial contamination overlap in the same system. Air Quality & Sanitizing addresses what cleaning alone cannot remove: active mold, bacteria, and embedded odor in the ductwork and air handler.
Mold Treatment
Signs you need it
Visible growth on register boots, a wet-cardboard smell when heat runs, or recent water intrusion from a humidifier leak.
What it costs in Aurora
$250-$450 per system for treatment of the full duct network and air handler.
How we do it
We apply an EPA-registered antimicrobial through the duct system under negative pressure, treat the air handler with contact spray, and run the fan to distribute the product evenly.
Odor Removal
Signs you need it
Persistent smoke smell after wildfire season, pet odor that returns within days of cleaning, or musty air that air fresheners cannot mask.
What it costs in Aurora
$200-$380 for standard residential odor treatment; severe smoke damage may require additional passes.
How we do it
We fog a chlorine-dioxide-based neutralizer into the duct system, allow dwell time, then extract residual product and verify with an odor assessment.
What Air Quality & Sanitizing Costs in Aurora
| Item | Typical range in Aurora |
|---|---|
| Mold treatment (full system) | $250-$450 |
| Odor removal | $200-$380 |
| UV light installation | $300-$550 |
Is the treatment safe for kids and pets?
We use EPA-registered products with labeled re-entry times; the home is safe to occupy once the extraction phase is complete and the technician verifies clearance. The product label and SDS are included in your job record.
How long does odor removal last?
When the source is addressed - dirty ducts, microbial growth, or smoke particulate - the neutralizer eliminates it permanently; new contamination requires new treatment. We photograph the source so you can see what was removed. Call (720) 315-7291.
Brands We Service in Aurora
We stock parts and service equipment from Honeywell, Aprilaire, Nikro, and Abatement Technologies - brands we name so you can verify specifications independently. Most common filter and humidifier pad sizes are carried on every Aurora truck, and we source less common items from Denver same-day.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Aurora
No permit is required for standard residential duct cleaning or HVAC maintenance in Aurora. Duct modification or new installation may trigger permit requirements through the city; we handle the paperwork and inspection scheduling if repair work crosses that line.
Property managers in the Meadowood and Gateway Park areas often coordinate move-in/move-out cleanings directly. We accept tenant-initiated bookings with landlord approval and deliver the photo record to both parties if requested.
Yes. When central air runs during smoke events, the return side pulls outdoor air through gaps and the supply side pressurizes the house, driving particulate into the system. We treat smoke odor as a distinct contamination requiring dedicated neutralization, not standard cleaning.
The $79 coupon typically covers a visual inspection and shop-vac at the register; the invoice grows with per-vent fees once the truck is on site. Our price is one flat rate per system, written before work starts, with every duct run photographed. No per-vent pricing exists in our model.
Every 3-5 years for typical households; every 2-3 years for homes with pets, recent construction, or located on Aurora’s eastern edge where dust infiltration is highest. Homes with aging humidifier retrofits should inspect annually for moisture damage.
We coordinate with Aurora HOA management for common-area access when needed and carry certificate of insurance documentation that most associations require. We schedule around HOA maintenance windows when possible.
Negative-pressure extraction captures debris in a sealed HEPA-filtered canister; we dispose of it off-site. The photo record shows what was in your ducts; the disposal documentation is included in your job record upon request.
