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.

AfterFast, Reliable Air Duct Cleaning Across Amherst
Air duct cleaning in Amherst, MA typically costs between $450 and $950 for a full single-family home, and most jobs are completed in a single day. The real work, though, is not the cleaning itself. It’s what we find once the camera goes in: 50-year-old fiberglass duct board shedding into the air stream, crushed return runs under slab floors, and gaps at plenum connections bleeding conditioned air into crawlspaces. If you live in Snyder, Eggertsville, or anywhere along the Williamsville corridor, your duct system has likely been accumulating debris since the Nixon administration. Call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll put a written price in front of you before a single panel comes off.
We serve Amherst directly. No subcontracting, no third-party crews. If you’re comparing Air Duct Cleaning companies, the difference comes down to what each one can show you when the job is done. We hand you a documented photo record of every duct run, inside and out, before and after.
Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Is Amherst’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning has been running every job under the Haven Standard since Tomas Reyes founded the company in 2013. Over 52,000 homes served, and every single one received a written price before work began and a documented photo record when the crew left. That’s not a marketing line. It’s Haven Standard Clause 1, and it’s the same in Amherst as it is anywhere else we work.
Amherst homeowners tend to be thorough. They research. They ask for proof. That’s exactly the customer this company was built for. When we open a return in a Snyder split-level and find 1970s fiberglass duct board delaminating from the inside, we show you the photo. We do not ask you to take our word for it.
Every technician who arrives at an Amherst address is background-checked, uniformed, and identified by name before they step through the door. That’s Haven Standard Clause 3: Verified Crews. Our equipment roster includes professional-grade machines from Rotobrush and Abatement Technologies, not shop vacuums you could rent yourself. Scheduling for Amherst is coordinated through our Boston office, but the crews working in your home are local, familiar with the housing stock, and trained on what 50-year-old duct systems actually look like inside.
Our Air Duct Cleaning Services in Amherst
Residential Duct Cleaning
Whole-home cleaning for Amherst houses, from 1,200-square-foot Capes near Eggertsville to larger colonials in eastern subdivisions near Getzville. A full system cleaning covers every supply and return run, the main trunk lines, the plenum, and all registers. In older Amherst ranch homes, we typically find 2 to 4 inches of compacted dust, pet dander, and construction debris from the original build. The camera shows it before we start; the after-photo shows the same elbow, clean.
Commercial Duct Cleaning
Amherst has a dense commercial strip along Transit Road and the Maple Road corridor, plus professional buildings scattered through Williamsville. We clean duct systems in offices, medical practices, and retail spaces, working around business hours where needed. Commercial systems in Amherst often run longer hours than residential ones, and the accumulation rate in a building with daytime occupancy is higher. Every commercial job ends with the same documented photo record we provide to homeowners.
Supply Duct Cleaning
Supply ducts carry conditioned air from your furnace to each room. In Amherst’s 1960s and 1970s ranch homes, these runs are frequently made of original fiberglass duct board. That material absorbs decades of Buffalo humidity and deteriorates from the inside out, shedding fibers into the air your family breathes. We run negative-pressure extraction through every supply run and document the interior condition at each stage. Cleaning supply ducts in an older Amherst home is not a cosmetic exercise. It directly addresses particulate levels in living spaces.
Return Duct Cleaning
Return ducts pull air back to the furnace to be reheated or cooled. In Amherst split-levels where return runs pass under the slab, crushed or disconnected sections are common. A disconnected return means the system is pulling unconditioned air from a crawlspace or slab cavity, not from the living area. That’s a comfort problem and an air-quality problem. Our camera inspection identifies crushed runs before cleaning begins, so you know whether source removal will fix the issue or whether duct repair is also needed.

BeforeAfterTrusted Brands We Service in Amherst
The equipment already installed in your Amherst home matters less than most companies admit. Air duct cleaning is about the ductwork, not the brand of furnace. That said, we service systems connected to every major HVAC brand found in Amherst homes, and we do it with professional-grade equipment from manufacturers you can look up yourself: Rotobrush systems for negative-pressure extraction, Abatement Technologies HEPA-filtered units for containment jobs, and Nikro inspection tools for camera work. We stock common replacement components and sealing materials in our vehicles so that when a camera inspection reveals a gap at the plenum or a crushed section, we can quote and often complete the repair without a second visit to your Amherst home.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Amherst Homes
- Deteriorating fiberglass duct board. Homes built in Snyder and Eggertsville during the 1960s and 1970s often used fiberglass duct board for supply and return runs. This material absorbs moisture, breaks down from the inside, and releases fibers into the air stream. The only way to confirm it is a camera inspection.
- Crushed or disconnected runs under slab floors. Split-levels and ranches with slab foundations frequently have return duct runs that were crushed during backfill or have separated at the joints. Airflow loss is significant, and cleaning alone will not fix a disconnected run.
- Moisture intrusion at the return-air plenum. Amherst’s freeze-thaw cycles from November through March drive snowmelt toward foundation walls. When return plenums sit in damp crawlspaces or against slab edges, moisture wicks into the ductwork. That creates conditions where mold can establish itself while the furnace runs nearly nonstop.
- Gaps and leaks at original metal seams. Sheet-metal duct systems installed in the 1950s and 1960s were sealed with materials that degrade. After 50-plus years, those seams leak. Cleaning the system without resealing it means you pay for clean ducts, then watch them re-contaminate within a season.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Amherst, MA
A straightforward full-system residential cleaning in Amherst runs $450 to $750 for a single-furnace home up to about 2,000 square feet. Larger homes, or homes with two furnaces, run $650 to $950. If our camera inspection reveals deteriorating fiberglass duct board, the scope changes: source removal with HEPA filtration and negative-pressure containment runs $900 to $1,400 because the work is different. It’s not vacuuming. It’s controlled extraction of compromised material, followed by resealing. Every Amherst job gets a written price before work starts, under Haven Standard Clause 1. No per-vent pricing, no bait-and-switch. We also offer a Free Second Opinion on any written estimate you bring from another company, and every job includes our 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing.

FAQs - Air Duct Cleaning in Amherst
Every 3 years, and more often if you have pets, a smoker in the home, or compromised duct board. Fiberglass duct board does not stay clean the way sheet metal can. It holds debris at the surface layer, and when the interior face begins to degrade, fibers release continuously. A camera inspection is the only way to know whether your Snyder or Eggertsville home has interior delamination. If it does, cleaning more frequently is the interim fix; replacement or source removal is the permanent one. Call (806) 606-6902 to schedule an inspection with a written quote.
Yes. Slab return runs are common in Getzville-area split-levels, and we handle them regularly. The first step is a camera inspection to determine whether the run is intact. If it is crushed or disconnected, cleaning alone will not restore airflow. In that case, we quote the repair separately, always in writing before work starts. If the run is intact, we clean it with the same negative-pressure equipment we use everywhere else, and document the before-and-after condition with photos.
Sheet metal cleans thoroughly with standard negative-pressure agitation. A newer home near Williamsville with metal ductwork typically yields excellent results in a single pass. Fiberglass duct board is a different material. It absorbs humidity, traps debris in its surface fibers, and degrades over time. Cleaning it requires more care and often HEPA-filtered containment to capture released fibers. We explain exactly which scenario applies to your home before any work begins, and the written quote reflects the actual material in your ducts.
If the seams are leaking, yes. In a 50-year-old Eggertsville ranch, the original sealant has almost certainly failed. Cleaning opens the system and disturbs seams; sealing after cleaning is the difference between ducts that stay clean and ducts that start pulling attic or crawlspace air within months. We inspect seam integrity during the camera pass and include sealing in the written quote when it’s needed. Skipping it saves money upfront and costs more within two seasons. Call (806) 606-6902 for an exact scope and price.
It changes what’s inside your ductwork, which is a meaningful fraction of what circulates through your home. In Amherst’s 7-month heating season, furnaces run continuously from October through April. Everything in the ducts moves through the living space repeatedly. When our tech opened a 1974 fiberglass return in a Snyder split-level on Harlem Road, the interior face was delaminating and releasing fibers with the blower on low. We documented it, quoted source removal with HEPA filtration and negative pressure, and resealed the plenum after. That’s not a generic air-quality claim. That’s a specific condition we found and fixed in an Amherst home. If you want to know what’s moving through your registers, we’ll show you. Call (806) 606-6902 for a free estimate.
