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
Complete HVAC cleaning in Aurora typically runs $380-$620 for a standard residential system, with air quality and sanitizing treatments adding $180-$340 depending on scope. At CleanRun, every job starts with a written price before work begins, and every duct run is photographed before and after. Call (720) 513-5159 for a free estimate.
Aurora’s exposed position on the semi-arid High Plains means prairie dust loads duct systems faster than in more sheltered parts of the metro. Our crews, dispatched from the Denver office, serve Aurora homeowners with equipment from Rotobrush, Nikro, and Abatement Technologies, documenting every run as part of the standard job record.
Why Aurora Homes Are Different
Aurora sits more exposed on the semi-arid High Plains than Denver proper, and its prevailing southwest winds funnel fine prairie dust into homes at rates measurably higher than in more sheltered parts of the metro. That means duct systems here load with particulate faster and require cleaning on shorter cycles.
The city’s massive 1970s-1990s tract-home building boom left a large inventory of aging fiberglass-lined ductwork concentrated in Meadowood, Sable Ridge, and older sections west of E-470. Colorado’s persistently low humidity has made that liner brittle and friable over 30-50 years, so accumulated plains dust embeds in deteriorating material rather than wiping out cleanly. In Hoffman Heights and similar 1950s-1960s cores, technicians regularly encounter gravity-furnace conversions with irregular, hand-fabricated trunk lines that require hand-tooling at every offset.
Our Main Aurora Services
Homeowners in Aurora most often call us for these three services, each with its own dedicated local page.
Air Duct Cleaning in Aurora
Full-system cleaning of supply and return ductwork using negative-pressure extraction and rotary brush agitation. In Aurora’s older tract homes, we pay particular attention to fiberglass liner degradation, documenting any friable material before proceeding. Every run is photographed before and after. Air Duct Cleaning in Aurora
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Aurora
Complete vent-line cleaning from appliance to exterior termination, with airflow testing before and after. Aurora’s fine prairie dust combines with lint to form dense blockages in longer vent runs common in ranch-style homes. We verify exhaust flow meets manufacturer spec and document with photos.

Duct Repair & Sealing in Aurora
Sheet-metal repair, liner replacement, and Aeroseal or mastic sealing of leaks. Aurora’s aging fiberglass-lined systems often need partial liner replacement before cleaning can proceed safely. We quote repair scope in writing before any work begins. Duct Repair & Sealing in Aurora

BeforeAfterHVAC Cleaning in Aurora
Aurora’s 1970s-1990s housing stock runs HVAC components harder than newer systems due to degraded ductwork and higher particulate loads, making component-level cleaning essential rather than optional. Wildfire smoke seasons deposit ultrafine combustion particles that standard filter replacements cannot address, particularly on evaporator coils and blower assemblies. Our HVAC Cleaning service targets these Aurora-specific conditions with documented results.
Evaporator Coil Cleaning
Signs you need it
Ice formation on refrigerant lines, reduced airflow from vents, or AC running continuously without reaching setpoint.
What it costs in Aurora
Evaporator coil cleaning in Aurora typically ranges $180-$280 for accessible A-coils, with cased or downflow configurations running $240-$340.
How we do it
We remove the coil access panel, apply foaming cleaner from Guardsman, agitate with soft brushes, rinse with low-pressure water, and photograph the coil surface before reassembly.
Blower Cleaning
Signs you need it
Vibration or noise from the air handler, uneven airflow between rooms, or dust puffing from vents at startup.
What it costs in Aurora
Blower assembly cleaning in Aurora runs $160-$260 for standard direct-drive blowers, with larger belt-drive systems at $220-$320.
How we do it
We remove the blower housing, clean the wheel and housing with compressed air and solvent, balance the assembly, and photograph before reinstalling.
What HVAC Cleaning Costs in Aurora
| Item | Typical range in Aurora |
|---|---|
| Evaporator coil cleaning | $180-$340 |
| Blower assembly cleaning | $160-$320 |
| Full HVAC system cleaning (coil + blower + air handler) | $380-$620 |
How often should HVAC components be cleaned in Aurora?
Every 3-5 years for most Aurora homes, but homes near open prairie or with wildfire smoke exposure may need coil and blower cleaning every 2-3 years. Call (720) 513-5159 and we’ll assess your system condition.
Will cleaning my HVAC components improve energy bills?
Yes, a clean evaporator coil and blower can restore 10-15% of lost cooling efficiency in Aurora’s dust-heavy environment. We measure airflow before and after to document the improvement.
Air Quality & Sanitizing in Aurora
Aurora’s arid climate and prairie dust create conditions where biological contaminants persist in ductwork differently than in humid climates, with wildfire smoke adding ultrafine particles that standard cleaning cannot fully address. Our Air Quality & Sanitizing service applies treatments targeted to these specific conditions, with every application photographed and documented.
Mold Treatment
Signs you need it
Musty odor from vents, visible growth on register surfaces, or water stains near the air handler indicating past condensation issues.
What it costs in Aurora
Mold treatment in Aurora ranges $280-$480 for localized application, with whole-system treatments at $420-$680.
How we do it
We apply EPA-registered antimicrobial through the duct system using a cold fogger, treat affected surfaces by hand, and photograph all treated areas for the job record.
UV Light Installation
Signs you need it
Recurring biological growth, frequent respiratory irritation among residents, or desire for continuous treatment without chemical reapplication.
What it costs in Aurora
UV-C light installation in Aurora runs $340-$540 for a single lamp at the coil, with dual-lamp systems at $480-$720.
How we do it
We mount a Honeywell or Aprilaire UV lamp upstream of the coil, wire to the blower circuit for automatic operation, and verify irradiance with a meter.
What Air Quality & Sanitizing Costs in Aurora
| Item | Typical range in Aurora |
|---|---|
| Mold treatment (localized) | $280-$480 |
| Mold treatment (whole system) | $420-$680 |
| UV light installation (single lamp) | $340-$540 |
Does UV light actually work in Aurora’s dry climate?
Yes, UV-C lamps prevent mold and bacterial growth on the coil and in the drain pan, which are the wettest points in any HVAC system regardless of ambient humidity. We specify lamp replacement at 9,000 hours.
How do I know the sanitizing treatment was applied?
We photograph every treated surface and include these images in your Documented Photo Record, delivered with the written invoice. Haven Standard Clause 1 requires written documentation of all applied products.
