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 Ken Caryl, CO
HVAC cleaning in Ken Caryl typically runs $350-$650 for a full system, with most jobs scheduled within a week. We’re CleanRun Duct Repair & Cleaning, and we dispatch crews to Ken Caryl from our Denver office to clean the 30-45-year-old duct systems common across this foothills community. Every job starts with a written price before any panel comes off, and every duct run is photographed before and after. Call (719) 259-4520 for a free estimate.
Why Ken Caryl Homes Are Different
Ken Caryl sits tucked against the Front Range foothills at the mountain-plains interface, making its homes among the first in the Denver metro to receive wildfire smoke and ash from adjacent Jefferson County open space. The community’s valley geography, partially enclosed by the Dakota Hogback to the east, traps smoke during evening pressure reversals in ways that flatland suburbs simply do not experience. At roughly 5,800-6,000 feet elevation, strong chinook downslope wind events funnel foothills dust directly into return-air intakes at rates higher than lower-elevation suburbs. The drier, thinner air keeps particulates suspended longer, increasing what settles into duct systems. Most homes here were built between the late 1970s and mid-1990s, so the vast majority carry original fiberglass duct board that degrades and sheds particles over decades. This uniform build era means ductwork aging patterns are remarkably consistent across the community.
Our Main Ken Caryl Services
These are the three services Ken Caryl homeowners call about most.
Air Duct Cleaning in Ken Caryl
We clean the full duct network in Ken Caryl homes using negative-pressure extraction, pulling debris from every run while the camera documents what comes out. The combination of aged fiberglass duct board and recurring wildfire ash means we regularly find visible residue in systems here that flatland crews rarely encounter. Every job includes a written price upfront and a Documented Photo Record of every duct run. Air Duct Cleaning in Ken Caryl is scheduled by the system, not by the vent.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Ken Caryl
Dryer vent cleaning in Ken Caryl addresses lint accumulation accelerated by the area’s dry, windy conditions and frequent temperature swings. We use rotary brushes and high-velocity air to clear the full vent path from appliance to termination, then photograph the interior before and after. Blocked dryer vents are a leading cause of house fires nationwide, and the fine dust load in this foothills environment makes annual cleaning a practical standard for most households. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Ken Caryl includes a written scope and our 365-Day Done Right Promise.
Duct Repair & Sealing in Ken Caryl
Duct repair and sealing in Ken Caryl targets the degraded connections and porous duct board common in 30-45-year-old systems. We pressure-test the network, identify leakage points, and seal with mastic or metal-backed tape rated for the temperature swings these attics experience. Sealed ducts reduce energy loss and prevent the foothills dust from being drawn into gaps and circulated through living spaces. Duct Repair & Sealing in Ken Caryl is quoted in writing before work begins.

BeforeAfterHVAC Cleaning in Ken Caryl
HVAC cleaning in Ken Caryl addresses the accumulated load in systems that have been filtering wildfire particulates, chinook dust, and degraded fiberglass particles for decades. The master-planned community’s uniform build era means we see predictable patterns: dirty evaporator coils restricting airflow, blower wheels caked with fine foothills silt, and condensers choked with cottonwood debris from the nearby South Platte drainage. HVAC Cleaning from CleanRun includes full-system photography and a written price delivered before any work starts.
Evaporator Coil Cleaning
Signs you need it
Weak airflow from registers, ice formation on refrigerant lines, or cooling that cannot keep up during Ken Caryl’s dry summer afternoons.
What it costs in Ken Caryl
Evaporator coil cleaning typically runs $180-$320.
How we do it
We access the coil through the plenum, apply foaming cleaner, rinse with low-pressure water, and photograph the before and after condition for the job record.
Blower Cleaning
Signs you need it
Unusual vibration at startup, visible dust puffing from registers when the fan engages, or a motor that runs hot to the touch.
What it costs in Ken Caryl
Blower cleaning and wheel removal typically runs $150-$280.
How we do it
We remove the blower assembly, clean the wheel vanes with compressed air and solvent, lubricate bearings per manufacturer spec, and bench-test before reinstalling.
What HVAC Cleaning Costs in Ken Caryl
| Item | Typical range in Ken Caryl |
|---|---|
| Evaporator coil cleaning | $180-$320 |
| Blower cleaning | $150-$280 |
| Full HVAC system cleaning | $350-$650 |
How do I know my HVAC system needs cleaning versus just the ducts?
If your ducts are clean but rooms still heat or cool unevenly, the restriction is likely at the coil, blower, or air handler. We inspect these components with a camera before recommending scope.
Does wildfire smoke damage HVAC components permanently?
Ash and fine particulates coat coils and blowers, reducing efficiency, but thorough cleaning usually restores performance without component replacement. Call (719) 259-4520 for an inspection and written estimate.
Air Quality & Sanitizing in Ken Caryl
Air quality and sanitizing in Ken Caryl addresses the persistent smoke odor and microbial growth that foothills humidity swings and wildfire residue create inside 30-45-year-old duct systems. The valley geography traps moisture during pressure reversals, and the degraded fiberglass duct board provides surface area where odor and biological material persist after standard cleaning. Air Quality & Sanitizing from CleanRun applies EPA-registered treatments with documented application records.
Odor Removal
Signs you need it
A persistent smoke or musty smell that returns within days of standard duct cleaning, particularly after wildfire events in the Deer Creek Canyon corridor.
What it costs in Ken Caryl
Whole-system odor removal treatment typically runs $200-$400.
How we do it
We fog an oxidizing agent through the full duct network, allow dwell time per manufacturer specification, then extract residual moisture and verify with an odor check at multiple registers.
UV Light Installation
Signs you need it
Recurring microbial growth on the evaporator coil or plenum, or a household with allergy-sensitive occupants in a home with chronic moisture patterns.
What it costs in Ken Caryl
UV-C light installation typically runs $300-$550.
How we do it
We mount a Honeywell or Guardsman UV-C lamp in the supply plenum, wire to the blower circuit for automatic operation, and include bulb replacement scheduling in the written scope.
What Air Quality & Sanitizing Costs in Ken Caryl
| Item | Typical range in Ken Caryl |
|---|---|
| Odor removal treatment | $200-$400 |
| UV-C light installation | $300-$550 |
| Combined sanitizing package | $450-$850 |
Will odor removal eliminate wildfire smoke smell permanently?
Our oxidizing treatment breaks down smoke residue at the molecular level, but if new wildfire events introduce fresh particulates, the odor can return. We document the treatment date and re-treatment terms in writing.
Is UV light worth it in Ken Caryl’s dry climate?
Yes, because the foothills humidity swings and valley moisture trapping create enough condensation at the coil for microbial growth. UV-C targets that specific surface. Call (719) 259-4520 for a written quote on your system.
