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 Wheat Ridge, CO
Whole-system HVAC cleaning in Wheat Ridge typically runs $380-$680 for most ranch and bi-level homes, with jobs on homes containing original asbestos duct wrap requiring pre-inspection documentation that can add $85-$150 to the initial visit. Call (720) 315-7291 for a free estimate.
Why Wheat Ridge Homes Are Different
Wheat Ridge sits at roughly 5,500 feet on the Front Range’s eastern slope, where Chinook wind events pull unconditioned outdoor air through gaps in aging duct systems. The semi-arid climate keeps fine particles suspended longer than in humid regions, and recent wildfire seasons have deposited measurable ash loads inside ductwork that newer, tighter suburbs simply don’t see.
The housing stock tells the rest of the story. Most Wheat Ridge neighborhoods between W. 38th Ave and W. 44th Ave were built from 1948 to 1978, with post-war ranches and bi-levels that retain oversized gravity-furnace trunk lines retrofitted for forced-air systems. Original flex-duct runs in crawl spaces have partially collapsed or been chewed through by rodents over 50-plus years. In the older ranch corridors, we regularly find the original furnace plenum wrapped in crumbling asbestos-containing insulation, a legacy of 1950s-60s construction that requires documented customer disclosure before any mechanical work begins. Many discount crews skip this step entirely.
Our Main Wheat Ridge Services
Most Wheat Ridge homeowners who call us start with one of these three services.
Air Duct Cleaning in Wheat Ridge
We clean the full duct system in Wheat Ridge homes using negative-pressure extraction, mechanical agitation with Rotobrush and Nikro equipment, and photographic documentation of every run before and after.

Dryer Vent Cleaning in Wheat Ridge
Dryer vent cleaning in Wheat Ridge addresses lint buildup that restricts airflow and creates fire risk, particularly in older homes where vent runs were routed through crawl spaces or exterior walls with suboptimal pitch. We clean the full vent path from dryer to termination and photograph the obstruction found. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Wheat Ridge
Duct Repair & Sealing in Wheat Ridge
Duct repair and sealing in Wheat Ridge fixes the collapsed flex-duct, disconnected joints, and rodent damage we find regularly in crawl spaces beneath 1960s-70s ranches.

BeforeAfterHVAC Cleaning in Wheat Ridge
HVAC cleaning in Wheat Ridge addresses the contamination load that builds up in forced-air systems adapted from original gravity-furnace designs, where irregular trunk geometry and decades of Chinook-driven dust infiltration create conditions unseen in newer construction. We use professional-grade equipment from Abatement Technologies and Honeywell to clean components the homeowner cannot access, and every job includes a written price before work starts and a Documented Photo Record when we leave. HVAC Cleaning is our most-called service in this market.
Evaporator Coil Cleaning
Signs you need it
Ice buildup on the coil, weak airflow from registers, or a musty odor when the AC first cycles on in Wheat Ridge’s dry summers.
What it costs in Wheat Ridge
Evaporator coil cleaning in Wheat Ridge typically runs $180-$320, with additional cost if the coil requires removal for access in tight mechanical closets common in 1950s ranches.
How we do it
We apply foaming cleaner, rinse with low-pressure water, and photograph the coil before and after through the access panel.
Blower Cleaning
Signs you need it
Vibration or noise from the air handler, uneven heating across rooms, or dust puffing from registers when the system starts.
What it costs in Wheat Ridge
Blower cleaning in Wheat Ridge typically runs $150-$280, with additional cost if the squirrel cage requires balancing after debris removal.
How we do it
We remove the blower assembly, clean blades and housing with compressed air and solvent, balance if needed, and photograph reassembly.
What HVAC Cleaning Costs in Wheat Ridge
| Item | Typical range in Wheat Ridge |
|---|---|
| Evaporator coil cleaning | $180-$320 |
| Blower cleaning | $150-$280 |
| Condenser cleaning | $120-$220 |
How do I know my HVAC system needs cleaning?
Dust accumulation on registers, uneven temperatures between rooms, or visible debris inside the return air grille are reliable indicators in Wheat Ridge’s older homes. Call (720) 315-7291 and we’ll inspect with a camera before quoting.
Can HVAC cleaning help with wildfire smoke smell?
Yes, cleaning the blower, coil, and ductwork removes particulate residue that carries odor, though persistent smoke damage may require additional sanitizing per Haven Standard Clause 4. Call (720) 315-7291 for an assessment.
Air Quality & Sanitizing in Wheat Ridge
Air quality and sanitizing in Wheat Ridge addresses the fine particulate and biological load that Chinook winds and wildfire smoke push into aging, leaky duct systems, where low humidity keeps particles suspended and allows mold to colonize only where moisture intrudes. We treat the source, not the symptom, with documented results. Air Quality & Sanitizing includes options for homes with specific contamination profiles.
Mold Treatment
Signs you need it
Visible growth inside registers or a persistent musty odor that returns after standard duct cleaning, common in Wheat Ridge crawl spaces with groundwater intrusion.
What it costs in Wheat Ridge
Mold treatment in Wheat Ridge typically runs $280-$450 per affected zone, with lab testing additional if identification is required for insurance documentation.
How we do it
We apply EPA-registered antimicrobial through the duct system, treat the source moisture issue, and photograph before and after with UV light for verification.
UV Light Installation
Signs you need it
Repeated mold recurrence, high allergy symptoms among residents, or a system located in a damp crawl space or basement common in older Wheat Ridge homes.
What it costs in Wheat Ridge
UV light installation in Wheat Ridge typically runs $320-$520 for a properly sized lamp with ballast, including placement to irradiate the coil surface.
How we do it
We size the lamp to the air handler, install with a sight glass for annual inspection, and document placement in the job record.
What Air Quality & Sanitizing Costs in Wheat Ridge
| Item | Typical range in Wheat Ridge |
|---|---|
| Mold treatment (per zone) | $280-$450 |
| UV light installation | $320-$520 |
| Bacteria sanitizing (whole system) | $220-$380 |
Does sanitizing remove wildfire smoke particles?
Sanitizing addresses biological contamination and odor; smoke particulate requires physical removal through duct cleaning first, with sanitizing as a follow-up for residual odor. Call (720) 315-7291 and we’ll scope the right sequence.
How do I verify mold treatment worked?
Our Documented Photo Record shows the treated surface before and after under UV light, and we note any moisture source we found and addressed. Call (720) 315-7291 if odor or visible growth returns within the 365-Day Done Right Promise period.
