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
HVAC cleaning in Aurora typically runs $380-$620 for a full system, with most jobs completed in one scheduled day. Aurora’s exposed High Plains position and aging housing stock create a dual particulate load that fills ductwork faster than in more sheltered Denver neighborhoods. Call (719) 259-4520 for a written estimate before any work starts.
Why Aurora Homes Are Different
Aurora sits on the open edge of the Front Range where persistent prairie winds from the east and periodic wildfire smoke from the mountains to the west create a unique particulate burden. The city averages only 14-15 inches of precipitation annually, and the low humidity keeps fine clay-rich dust suspended rather than settled, so more of it cycles through return intakes year-round.
The housing stock amplifies the problem. Western and central Aurora are dominated by 1960s-1980s ranch-style tract homes with original single-layer sheet-metal ductwork and minimal sealing, systems that draw unconditioned, particle-laden air from crawlspaces and attics. In Aurora Hills and Hoffman Heights, technicians regularly encounter original fibrous duct board from the 1960s-70s that has begun fragmenting into the airstream. Meanwhile, eastern developments like Tallyn’s Reach and Southshore present newer duct systems contaminated by construction dust from continuous adjacent building.
Our Main Aurora Services
Most Aurora homeowners contact us about these three services, each with its own dedicated page.
Air Duct Cleaning in Aurora
We clean the complete supply and return network using negative-pressure extraction, with a documented photo record of every duct run before and after. In Aurora’s older homes, we pay particular attention to unsealed joints at plenum connections where attic dust enters the system. Every job gets a written price before work begins under Haven Standard Clause 1. Air Duct Cleaning in Aurora
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Aurora
Dryer vent blockages are common in Aurora’s wind-exposed locations where exterior vent hoods collect lint against the flap. We clear the full run from appliance to termination, photograph the obstruction, and verify airflow with a meter reading. Written price delivered before any work starts. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Aurora
Duct Repair & Sealing in Aurora
Aurora’s original sheet-metal systems suffer from failed tape seals and corroded flex connections. We repair or replace damaged sections, then seal with mastic or metal-backed tape to close the bypass paths that draw in attic and crawlspace air. Before-and-after photos included.

BeforeAfterHVAC Cleaning in Aurora
HVAC cleaning in Aurora addresses the accelerated buildup that comes from the city’s dual particulate load: wind-driven prairie dust and wildfire smoke particulates that standard filter changes cannot remove. In the 1960s-1980s ranch homes that define western and central Aurora, evaporator coils and blower assemblies often carry years of accumulated fine clay dust that restricts airflow and forces longer run times. HVAC Cleaning from CleanRun includes every component in the air path, photographed before and after.
Evaporator Coil Cleaning
Signs you need it
Ice formation on refrigerant lines, weak airflow from registers, or cooling that cannot keep up on 95-degree Aurora afternoons.
What it costs in Aurora
Evaporator coil cleaning typically runs $180-$340 depending on accessibility and contamination level.
How we do it
We remove the coil access panel, apply foaming cleaner formulated for aluminum fins, rinse with low-pressure water, and photograph the fin surface before reassembly.
Blower Cleaning
Signs you need it
Vibration or noise from the air handler, dust streaking at supply registers, or a blower wheel that visibly wobbles when accessed.
What it costs in Aurora
Blower assembly cleaning typically runs $160-$280 for standard residential units.
How we do it
We remove the blower housing, clean the wheel and motor housing with compressed air and solvent, balance the assembly, and document runout with a photo.
What HVAC Cleaning Costs in Aurora
| Item | Typical range in Aurora |
|---|---|
| Full HVAC system cleaning | $380-$620 |
| Evaporator coil cleaning | $180-$340 |
| Blower assembly cleaning | $160-$280 |
How do I know my HVAC system needs cleaning, not just a filter change?
Remove a supply register and shine a flashlight into the duct; if the interior surface shows gray or brown buildup beyond the first elbow, the contamination has moved past what a filter can address. Call (719) 259-4520 and we’ll show you what the camera sees.
Does wildfire smoke residue require different cleaning than ordinary dust?
Yes, ultrafine combustion particulates from Colorado wildfire events bond to metal surfaces more aggressively than mineral dust and often require solvent-based cleaning agents rather than dry brushing alone. Our crews document the residue type before selecting the cleaning protocol.
Air Quality & Sanitizing in Aurora
Air quality and sanitizing in Aurora targets the biological and chemical contaminants that survive standard duct cleaning: mold colonies in humid condensate pans, bacteria in stagnant sections of old duct board, and persistent odors from wildfire smoke particulates that have adsorbed into porous surfaces. In Aurora’s 1960s-1980s homes with original fiberglass duct board, fragmented fibers can harbor microbial growth that brushing alone does not eliminate. Air Quality & Sanitizing from CleanRun applies EPA-registered treatments with documented application records.
Mold Treatment
Signs you need it
Musty odor when the system starts, visible dark spotting at register openings, or allergy symptoms that worsen when the blower runs.
What it costs in Aurora
Whole-system mold treatment typically runs $450-$780 depending on colony extent and duct material.
How we do it
We establish negative-pressure containment, apply an EPA-registered antimicrobial to all interior surfaces, and collect post-treatment swab samples documented with photos.
UV Light Installation
Signs you need it
Recurring mold despite cleaning, chronic respiratory irritation in household members, or a condensate pan that stays wet through the dry Aurora winter.
What it costs in Aurora
UV-C lamp installation at the coil or air handler typically runs $320-$550 including hardware and mounting.
How we do it
We mount a Honeywell or Guardsman UV-C fixture at the coil face or blower intake, wire to the control board for automatic operation, and photograph placement and electrical connection.
What Air Quality & Sanitizing Costs in Aurora
| Item | Typical range in Aurora |
|---|---|
| Mold treatment (whole system) | $450-$780 |
| UV-C light installation | $320-$550 |
| Bacteria sanitizing treatment | $280-$480 |
Is UV light effective against Aurora’s wildfire smoke particulates?
No, UV-C targets biological growth on wet surfaces, not combustion particulates; for wildfire residue we pair UV with activated carbon filtration or full duct replacement of porous materials. Call (719) 259-4520 and we’ll specify the right combination for your system.
Can mold in old Aurora duct board be cleaned, or does the material need replacement?
Surface mold on intact fiberglass can be treated, but once the duct board begins fragmenting, as we often see in Aurora Hills and Hoffman Heights, replacement is the only permanent solution because the fibers themselves harbor colonies.
Brands We Service in Aurora
We stock parts and service equipment from Honeywell, Aprilaire, Rotobrush, and Guardsman, with most common filters, UV lamps, and sanitizer cartridges available on the truck. See our brands for the full roster. If your system uses a less common manufacturer, we confirm part availability before scheduling so the job completes in one visit.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Aurora
Most Aurora HOAs do not require advance notice for interior residential service, but gated communities like Tallyn’s Reach and Southshore may need entry authorization for the service vehicle; we coordinate this when you schedule if you provide the gate code or contact number.
The persistent easterly winds across the High Plains keep fine clay dust airborne and cycling through systems year-round, so homes with original unsealed ductwork often need cleaning at shorter intervals than the national average of three to five years.
Yes, but we inspect for fragmentation first; if the duct board is breaking down, we recommend repair or replacement before cleaning to avoid releasing fiberglass particles into living areas during the service.
