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.
Nikro Air Quality & Sanitizing in Aurora: What to Know First
CleanRun provides independent Nikro air quality and sanitizing service in Aurora, with most jobs scheduled within a few business days and completed in a single visit. A typical Nikro mold treatment or bacteria sanitizing job runs $340-$680 for a whole system, and we put that price in writing before any equipment leaves the truck. This page is for Nikro owners in Aurora who need documented proof that the work happened, not a verbal promise and a receipt. Call (720) 513-5159 for a free estimate, or bring us a competitor’s written quote for a free second opinion under Haven Standard Clause 1.
How Nikro Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- UVGI-8 and UVGI-16 lamp units lose output after 9,000 hours without triggering failure alerts. The ballast keeps drawing power, but 254 nm output drops below effective germicidal range. We meter actual UV-C output with a calibrated radiometer, not just check that the lamp glows. If output is below 40 µW/cm² at one meter, we replace the lamp and log the reading in your job record.
- APS-2000 and APS-3000 air purifiers develop ozone plate fouling in Aurora’s hard-water environment. Mineral scale from evaporative cooling season builds on the plates and drops ozone production by half without any error code. We pull the plates, photograph the scale buildup under work light, and either clean with manufacturer-specified solution or replace if the ceramic coating is cracked.
- PDR-2000 and PDR-4000 negative air machines suffer HEPA seal degradation in low-humidity winter months. The gasket material stiffens and micro-leaks form around the filter frame, bypassing filtration. We pressure-test the seal with a smoke pencil, replace the gasket with silicone-rated material if needed, and document the pre- and post-repair leakage rate.
- SL-2000 and SL-4000 HEPA vacuums lose suction through clogged pre-filters that owners never check. The hour meter says the HEPA is due, but the pre-filter is choked with drywall dust from a previous job. We log actual static pressure across the pre-filter, show you the reading, and replace both elements if the differential exceeds 2.5 inches water column.
- ECO-2000 portable scrubbers have blower motor bearing wear from Aurora’s fine topsoil dust. The PM10 particulate from the eastern plains works into the motor housing and degrades bearings over two to three years. We listen for the telltale frequency change, pull the motor if needed, and show you the bearing race photo before quoting replacement versus rebuild.
Our Nikro Air Quality & Sanitizing Process

- 1
Written scope and price before arrival. We review your Nikro model, age, and symptom by phone, then email a flat-price scope. Haven Standard Clause 1: no work starts without a signed written price.
- 2
On-site diagnostic with photo baseline. Technician arrives in uniform, identified by name. We access the plenum (the main distribution box at your air handler), insert a borescope camera, and photograph what we find. “Show you the photo first, then we talk about what comes next.”
- 3
Parts decision: OEM Nikro or verified aftermarket. We stock common Nikro lamps, plates, and gaskets. If your unit needs a specialty part, we show you the OEM lead time and the aftermarket equivalent with its warranty term, then you choose. No default to the most expensive option.
- 4
Service execution with negative-pressure containment. For mold or bacteria jobs, we seal the work zone and run a Nikro PDR-series negative air machine to prevent cross-contamination. The rotary brush and vacuum run on every duct run, photographed before and after.
- 5
Post-service verification and documentation. We retest UV output, pressure, or static as applicable, log the numbers, and deliver your Documented Photo Record before we pack up. The 365-Day Done Right Promise goes into writing on the spot.
- 6
Cleanup and walkthrough. We restore registers, wipe surfaces, and walk you through the photo record. You sign satisfied; we leave the written warranty.

Why Aurora Homeowners Call CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Aurora for Nikro Work

We’ve been serving Aurora since 2013, from the older ranch homes near Aurora Hills Golf Course to the newer builds along the E-470 corridor. Tomas Reyes runs this territory and has handled Nikro equipment across both residential and light commercial jobs. The 365-Day Done Right Promise is in writing on every job, not a verbal policy. Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed under Haven Standard Clause 3: Verified Crews. We also service Lennox, Trane, and Carrier systems, so if your Nikro unit ties into a mixed-manufacturer setup, we don’t need a second contractor. The photo record is standard, not an upsell. And if you’ve got a written estimate from someone else, we’ll put our number next to it for free.
FAQs
No. As an independent Nikro service provider, we use manufacturer-specified parts and procedures that preserve any remaining warranty coverage. We document serial numbers, part numbers, and service dates in your job record so you have proof if a warranty claim arises. For warranty service directly through Nikro, you would need to contact them; we handle out-of-warranty and owner-requested independent service. Call (720) 513-5159 to discuss your unit’s status.
We show you. The borescope photos from inside your duct runs are time-stamped and delivered as part of the Documented Photo Record. For UV lamp jobs, we log the pre- and post-service radiometer reading in microwatts per square centimeter. For mold or bacteria treatments, we photograph the application coverage and the post-treatment surface condition. The 365-Day Done Right Promise means if evidence later suggests the treatment failed, we return and make it right. Call (720) 513-5159 to schedule.
Replace if the unit is over eight years old and needs a major component like a blower motor or control board; repair if it’s under eight years and needs a lamp, plate, or seal. We make this recommendation in writing with both options priced, not as a verbal nudge toward the bigger sale. Tomas Reyes has rebuilt fifteen-year-old Nikro scrubbers and recommended replacement on three-year-old units with catastrophic housing cracks; the decision is always yours with the numbers in front of you. Call (720) 513-5159 for a free assessment.
Common lamps and plates are on our truck; specialty items typically arrive in three to five business days from our distributor. We don’t start the job until the correct part is in hand, and we don’t charge storage or delay fees. If your model is discontinued, we research cross-reference numbers and show you the OEM-versus-aftermarket options with warranty terms before you commit. Call (720) 513-5159 with your model and serial number.
The coupon job is usually a shop vacuum at the register and a bill. Our mold treatment includes sealed negative-pressure containment, HEPA-filtered exhaust, borescope documentation of growth extent, EPA-registered antimicrobial application with dwell-time compliance, and post-treatment photos of every treated surface. The price is whole-system and flat, not per-vent with add-ons discovered after arrival. Haven Standard Clause 1 requires the written price before work starts; there is no other way we operate. Call (720) 513-5159 for a written estimate.
