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.

AfterRotobrush HVAC Cleaning in Aurora: What to Know First
We provide independent Rotobrush HVAC cleaning in Aurora as a service provider unaffiliated with the manufacturer. A typical evaporator coil and blower cleaning runs $340-$520 for Aurora homes, and we quote that price in writing before any panel comes off. Most Rotobrush air handler jobs are completed in a single visit with the unit back online the same day.
This page is for Aurora homeowners who own a Rotobrush air scrubber, duct cleaning machine, or full HVAC air handler and need the internal components cleaned properly - not a surface wipe, but a documented removal of debris from coils, blowers, and heat exchangers. Call (720) 513-5159 for a free estimate. We’ll show you the photo first, then we talk about what comes next.
How Rotobrush Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- Rotobrush BrushBeast series: clogged evaporator coils from fine particulate bypass. The BrushBeast’s aggressive rotary brush action kicks up debris that the unit’s standard filtration doesn’t fully capture. In Aurora’s dry, high-altitude climate, that fine dust cakes onto evaporator coils and restricts airflow within 18-24 months. We remove the coil assembly, apply foaming cleaner rated for aluminum microchannel fins, and document the pressure drop before and after with a manometer reading.
- Rotobrush aiR+ XP: blower wheel imbalance from pet hair accumulation. The aiR+ XP’s higher CFM draw pulls more hair and dander through returns, especially in Aurora homes with the heavy shedding breeds common in family neighborhoods near Murphy Creek. Hair wraps around the blower squirrel cage and throws the wheel off balance, causing vibration and premature bearing wear. We pull the blower assembly, clean each vane with a rotary brush and negative-pressure extraction, then check runout with a dial indicator before reinstalling.
- Rotobrush DuctMaster: heat exchanger soot staining from incomplete combustion air. Older DuctMaster units paired with gas furnaces in Aurora’s older ranch homes near Aurora Hills Golf Course often show heat exchanger discoloration. The cause isn’t the DuctMaster itself but restricted combustion air from debris buildup in the return plenum. We clean the plenum (the main duct box that distributes air to each run), inspect the heat exchanger with a borescope camera, and flag any cracks that require furnace replacement per Colorado code.
- Rotobrush Beast series: condenser coil fin corrosion from magnesium chloride road treatment. Aurora’s winter road de-icing compounds aerosolize and settle on outdoor condenser coils, especially on units near E-470 or I-225 corridors. The Beast’s outdoor-rated housing doesn’t prevent this chemical buildup. We use a foaming cleaner with neutral pH, rinse with low-pressure water to avoid fin collapse, and apply a protective coating where manufacturer specs allow.
- Rotobrush aiR+ series: UV-C lamp degradation in the “clean” side of the air handler. The aiR+ series integrates UV-C lamps downstream of the filter, but Aurora’s intense UV at 5,400+ feet elevation accelerates lamp sleeve fouling from oxidation. Owners think the lamp is working because the indicator glows; the sleeve is actually opaque with scale. We remove and inspect sleeves, replace lamps at 9,000-hour intervals regardless of indicator status, and photograph the sleeve condition for the job record.
Our Rotobrush HVAC Cleaning Process
- 1
Written price delivered on arrival. Haven Standard Clause 1: we quote the full scope and flat price before touching the unit. No per-vent add-ons, no “while we’re here” upsells.
- 2
Diagnostic photography. We insert a borescope through the access panel and photograph the evaporator coil, blower assembly, and heat exchanger. You see what we see before we proceed.
- 3
Component removal and cleaning. Coils get foaming cleaner and low-pressure rinse; blowers get rotary brush cleaning with negative-pressure extraction (a vacuum system that pulls debris out rather than pushing it deeper); heat exchangers get brushed and vacuumed per manufacturer clearances.
- 4
OEM-versus-aftermarket parts decision. For lamp sleeves, bearings, or seals, we specify the source - Rotobrush OEM or a quality aftermarket equivalent - and note the warranty implication of each. You choose; we document.
- 5
Post-cleaning verification. We photograph every component again, measure static pressure across the coil, and run the unit through a full heating or cooling cycle to confirm normal operation.
- 6
Deliverables and guarantee. You receive the before-and-after photo record, the written scope, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing before we leave.
BeforeAfterWhat Rotobrush HVAC Cleaning Costs in Aurora
| Service | Typical Range | What Moves the Price |
|---|---|---|
| Evaporator coil cleaning | $280-$420 | Coil depth (A-coil vs. slab), access difficulty, fin corrosion level |
| Blower assembly cleaning | $180-$290 | Wheel size, bearing condition, need for removal vs. in-place cleaning |
| Condenser coil cleaning | $160-$260 | Coil rows, chemical buildup severity, protective coating application |
| Full air handler cleaning (coil + blower + cabinet) | $480-$720 | Unit size, contamination level, UV lamp replacement if needed |
| Heat exchanger inspection and cleaning | $220-$380 | Access panel configuration, soot level, borescope documentation required |
These are whole-system flat prices, not per-vent or per-component teaser rates that balloon on arrival. The $79 coupon companies in Aurora typically arrive with a shop vacuum and a clipboard of add-ons. We arrive with a written price, a negative-pressure vacuum system, and a camera. Call (720) 513-5159 for an exact quote - estimates are free, and Haven Standard Clause 1 applies to every one.
Why Aurora Homeowners Call CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Aurora for Rotobrush Work
We’ve cleaned Rotobrush equipment in Aurora since 2013, from the first-generation DuctMaster units still running in homes near Buckley Space Force Base to the aiR+ XP systems installed in new builds along the E-470 corridor. Tomas Reyes, our owner and lead technician, learned the mechanical trades at Bronx Community College and has run Aurora territory long enough to know which Rotobrush models show up in which neighborhoods - and what each tends to need.
Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed under Haven Standard Clause 3: Verified Crews. We also service Lennox, Trane, and Carrier systems, so when a Rotobrush unit is integrated with a multi-brand setup, we don’t guess at interactions. Every job ends with a Documented Photo Record and the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If the work isn’t right, we make it right - no manager approval required, no runaround.
FAQs
No, professional cleaning by an independent service provider does not void the Rotobrush warranty, provided the work follows manufacturer specifications for access, cleaning agents, and component handling. We document our methods and products used so you have a record if warranty questions arise. Call (720) 513-5159 if you need specifics for your model.
A filter change addresses the filter; it does not address debris accumulated on the coil, blower, or cabinet interior. If your Rotobrush unit runs longer cycles than it used to, or if rooms downstream feel stuffy despite new filters, the internal components likely need cleaning. We diagnose with a borescope camera so you see the difference before deciding. Call for a free inspection.
Replace when the cost of cleaning plus needed repairs exceeds 60% of a comparable new unit, or when the heat exchanger shows cracks (a safety replacement, not optional). For BrushBeast and DuctMaster units under 10 years with intact heat exchangers, cleaning typically extends service life 3-5 years. We quote both paths in writing so you compare real numbers. Call (720) 513-5159 for a second opinion on any replacement recommendation.
A single-component cleaning (coil or blower) takes 2-3 hours; a full air handler cleaning takes 4-5 hours. We schedule by the job, not by the hour, so the crew stays until the documented result matches the written scope. We do not quote dispatch speed; we quote done-right completion. Call to schedule at (720) 513-5159.
We source both and tell you which we’re proposing before ordering. OEM sleeves and lamps maintain full warranty coverage; quality aftermarket equivalents from Abatement Technologies and Guardsman often cost 30-40% less with equivalent performance. We note the source on the written scope; you approve before we proceed. Call (720) 513-5159 for parts availability on your specific model.
