Frequently Asked Questions - Air Duct Cleaning in Aurora, CO
We've been cleaning ducts across Aurora and the Denver metro since 2013. Here are the questions we actually get, answered directly.
Pricing & Cost FAQs
Whole-system duct cleaning in Aurora typically runs $350-$650 for a standard single-family home. That covers the full supply and return network, not a per-vent add-on. We quote one flat price per system before anyone starts, under Clause 1 of The Haven Standard. Larger homes in areas like Cherry Hills Village or homes with multiple HVAC zones may land toward the higher end. Call (720) 513-5159 for a written estimate - they're free, and the price we write is the price you pay.
Low quotes usually mean a shop vac at one or two registers and a bill padded with upsells once the van is in your driveway. The bait-and-switch model is common in this industry. We photograph the inside of every run before and after, because that is the only way to tell real work from vacuum noise. Our price is flat, written, and agreed before work starts. No door upsell, no scope creep, no "while we're in here."
We charge one flat price per HVAC system, not per vent. Per-vent pricing invites games: adding returns you didn't know existed, or skipping lines to hit a low quote. Our written scope lists what we will clean and what it costs. In Aurora's older neighborhoods like Original Aurora or newer builds in Southshore, the system count matters more than the vent count.
No. Clause 5 of The Haven Standard is "No surprises." The written estimate includes the full scope. If we find something unexpected - a disconnected duct in the crawl space, a dead rodent - we photograph it, explain it, and quote it separately before doing anything beyond the agreed work. You approve every dollar.
Yes. We'll come to your home in Aurora, Denver, Centennial, or any of our service areas, inspect your ductwork with a camera, and leave you with a flat-price, written estimate. No charge, no obligation. The estimate is valid for 30 days. Call (720) 513-5159 to schedule.
Service & Process FAQs
We connect a high-powered negative-air machine to your trunk line, seal the registers, and use agitation tools - Rotobrush brushes and compressed-air whips - to knock debris loose so it gets pulled out. Every run gets photographed before and after. A typical single-system job takes 3-4 hours in an Aurora home. You receive the photo record and a completion report when we leave.
We photograph the inside of every run before and after. You see what we found: dust load, construction debris, pet hair, mold staining. This is not a courtesy; it is the core of our process. CleanRun was built on this evidence standard back in 2013, and we have documented every job since. The photos are yours to keep.
Most single-system homes in Aurora take 3-4 hours. Two-system homes, common in larger properties around Parker or Lone Tree, run 5-6 hours. We book a real arrival window, text when we're on the way, and arrive with a named technician - Clause 2 of The Haven Standard. We don't rush. A proper job takes the time it takes.
The NADCA recommends every 3-5 years for typical households. In Aurora, we see faster buildup from two factors: our dry, windy springs that pull fine dust through envelope leaks, and the high pollen counts that load filters and bypass them. Homes with pets, recent renovations, or occupants with allergies often benefit from cleaning closer to the 3-year mark. We inspect with a camera and tell you what we find - no arbitrary schedule.
It can reduce the reservoir of allergens circulating through your home. We find significant dust, pollen, and pet dander loads in Aurora ducts, especially in homes near open space or construction zones. Duct cleaning is one piece of indoor air quality - paired with a good filter (we install Aprilaire and Honeywell media cabinets) and sealed ductwork, it matters. We photograph what we remove so you can judge the improvement yourself.
Brands & Parts FAQs
We run Nikro negative-air machines and Rotobrush agitation systems. The Nikro pulls 5,000+ CFM to keep debris contained and moving toward the collection unit. Rotobrush brushes navigate the flex duct common in Aurora homes built from the 1990s onward. For homes with rigid metal duct, we switch to compressed-air whips that won't damage the lining. The right tool for the duct type.
We install whole-home media filters and air cleaners from Aprilaire and Honeywell, including the Aprilaire 2210 and Honeywell F100 series. These mount at the furnace and filter air before it enters the duct network. We do not install UV lights - the evidence for their effectiveness in residential ductwork is weak, and we don't sell products we can't document. If your ducts are clean and your filter is adequate, that's where the money goes.
Yes. Dryer vent cleaning is a separate service with its own flat-price quote. Lint buildup is a genuine fire hazard - the Aurora Fire Rescue responds to multiple dryer fires annually. We use a rotary brush and high-velocity blower to clear the full run, including rooftop terminations common in Aurora townhomes. We photograph the before and after here too.
Licensing & Insurance FAQs
Every pro working under our name is required to hold the license and insurance Colorado requires for this trade. We carry general liability and workers' compensation. License numbers are provided on request and included in your written estimate. Clause 3 of The Haven Standard - Verified crews - means background-checked, licensed, insured, and named before they arrive.
This location is independently owned and operated by Tomas Reyes, serving Aurora and the Denver metro. CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning is an established brand with standards, documentation systems, and buying power that keep prices honest. The local team lives here, works here, and answers to this community. The Haven Standard is the agreement between the brand and the local operator - your protection either way.
Someone 18 or older needs to be present to approve the scope and provide access. Many Aurora homeowners use the time to run errands in nearby Centennial or Parker - we text updates and send the photo report electronically. Payment is due on completion; we take check, card, or electronic transfer.
Emergency & Response FAQs
We do not offer after-hours emergency service. Duct cleaning is a scheduled maintenance job, not an urgent repair. Our hours are Monday through Friday 7:30 AM - 8:00 PM, Saturday and Sunday 7:30 AM - 7:30 PM. If you've had a fire, flood, or contamination event that requires immediate response, we can often schedule within 24-48 hours during business hours. Call (720) 513-5159 and we'll find the next available slot.
Typically 3-7 days out, depending on season. Spring pollen season and post-wildfire periods in the Denver metro fill faster. We don't promise same-day or next-day slots - that would mean rushing or cutting scope. We book a real window, send a named technician, and text when they're en route. Clause 2 of The Haven Standard.
Our primary service area includes Aurora, Denver, Centennial, Stonegate, Greenwood Village, Glendale, Parker, Cherry Hills Village, Lone Tree, Commerce City, Derby, and Englewood. We know the housing stock: the 1960s ranches in Original Aurora with metal duct, the flex-duct townhomes in Southshore, the multi-zone systems in the Hills. Local knowledge affects how we approach the job.
Warranty & Guarantees FAQs
Every job carries a written warranty included in your completion packet. If we missed a run, left debris, or damaged anything in your home, we return and fix it at no charge. The warranty term and specific coverage are spelled out in writing - Clause 1 of The Haven Standard, "Have it in writing," applies to promises too. No handshake guarantees.
Call us. We return to re-inspect with you, camera in hand. If we fell short of The Haven Standard, we re-clean or refund - your choice. This is rare, but the process exists because it should. Every job leaves a documented record; we can pull the photos and compare them to what you see. Evidence-first, always.
We guarantee we will clean what we agreed to clean, photograph it, and leave your system as we found it mechanically. We do not guarantee specific energy savings or airflow improvements - too many variables (filter quality, duct design, equipment age) are outside our scope. We will show you what we found and what we removed. You decide what that evidence is worth.
A completion packet with: before-and-after photos of every run, a checklist of services performed, your paid invoice with warranty terms, and any recommendations we noted (filter upgrades, duct repairs, etc.). This is your record for warranty claims, home sale disclosures, or your own files. CleanRun has produced this documentation on every job since 2013 - over 52,000 homes with a written price before we started and a documented record when we left.
