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 Brunswick
Air duct cleaning in Brunswick, OH typically costs between $450 and $900 for a full system cleaning of an average 1,800 to 2,400 square foot ranch or split-level home. Most Brunswick jobs we complete in a single day, with a written price agreed to before a single panel comes off the wall. If you’re on the fence about whether your ducts actually need attention, we’ll run a camera through them first and show you what’s there. That’s how we’ve operated in Brunswick since our first job here, and it’s why homeowners keep our number. Call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll walk through what a cleaning involves and what it costs before you commit to anything.
Brunswick’s housing stock has a specific problem that newer suburbs don’t share in the same proportion. We’ll get into the details below, but the short version is this: most homes here were built between 1960 and 1980, and most still run on their original ductwork. That matters more than people realize.
Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Is Brunswick’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
We’re not the newest name in Brunswick, and we’re fine with that. What we’ve built here is a reputation for doing exactly what we say we’ll do, at the price we put in writing, with photos to prove it. Homeowners in the Sleepy Hollow Road corridor, along Grafton Road, and throughout the North Carpenter Road neighborhoods have seen our trucks and our work. They’ve also seen the before-and-after photo record we deliver on every job. That record isn’t a marketing gimmick. It’s the part of our service that keeps us honest.
Every Brunswick job is quoted under Haven Standard Clause 1: a written price before any work starts. No verbal estimates, no range that widens once the technician arrives. What we quote is what you pay. If someone else has quoted you something different, bring it to us. We’ll put our number next to theirs in writing and you can compare them line by line. That’s our Free Second Opinion policy and it applies to every Brunswick homeowner.
Our crews are background-checked and uniformed, and you’ll know who’s showing up before they arrive, by name. That’s Haven Standard Clause 3: Verified Crews. Tomas Reyes, our owner, still reviews job records personally. If something wasn’t done right, the 365-Day Done Right Promise means we make it right. In writing, on every job, not as a verbal assurance.
Our Air Duct Cleaning Services in Brunswick
Residential Duct Cleaning
Brunswick’s ranch and split-level homes are our bread and butter. We clean the full duct system, supply and return sides, start to finish. The average job here runs three to five hours depending on the number of runs and how much debris has accumulated over the decades. We use professional-grade negative-pressure extraction equipment from Abatement Technologies and Rotobrush, not a shop vac with a rotating brush taped to it.
Commercial Duct Cleaning
Brunswick’s commercial spaces along Center Road and Pearl Road have their own set of challenges. Long horizontal runs, higher ceilings, and HVAC systems that cycle constantly through retail hours. We schedule commercial work around your operating hours and provide the same documented photo record we provide to residential customers. Written scope, written price, written warranty. Same standard, larger square footage.
Supply Duct Cleaning
In Brunswick’s 1960s and 1970s homes, supply ducts are where the freeze-thaw seam problem shows up first. Those horizontal trunk lines across the basement ceiling pull in basement air through gaps that have opened over 50 Ohio winters. We clean the full supply side with high-HEPA filtration to make sure we’re removing what’s actually in there, not redistributing it. Then we document every run on camera.
Return Duct Cleaning
Split-level homes in Brunswick frequently have return ducts running through crawlspaces or along foundation walls. Those returns collect rodent dander, insulation particles, and fine dust from the crawlspace floor. Skipping return cleaning is one of the most common mistakes we see from other companies. You can’t half-clean a system and call it done. We clean both sides, every time.
Full System Cleaning
Full System Cleaning is exactly what it sounds like: the complete air path from return grille to supply register. In Brunswick’s older tract homes, this is the only approach that makes sense. A partial cleaning on a 55-year-old duct system leaves the problem in place. We recommend full system cleaning for any Brunswick home that hasn’t had professional duct work done in the last decade, which describes most of them.
Video Inspection
Before we quote a Brunswick job, we run a camera. You see what we see. If there’s a 3-inch debris build-up at the first elbow, you’ll see it on screen. If the fiberglass duct board is shedding into the air stream, you’ll see that too. Video inspection is included with every job, not sold as an add-on. We’ve held that practice since our first job in 2013, and we’ve never seen a reason to change it.

BeforeAfterTrusted Brands We Service in Brunswick
We work on systems built by every major manufacturer, and we’re familiar with the original equipment in Brunswick’s older housing stock.

For Brunswick customers, that means less waiting and fewer follow-up visits. We also carry Guardsman access panels and other hardware suited to older residential systems. You don’t need to know exactly what’s in your ducts. That’s our job. But we’ll show you what we find and what we use to fix it.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Brunswick Homes
- Freeze-thaw seam separation in 1970s trunk lines. Horizontal duct runs across unfinished basement ceilings have unsealed joints that open slightly every winter. By the time we arrive, those gaps are pulling basement air, mold spores, and insulation particles directly into the supply side. This is the defining duct problem in Brunswick’s older tract housing.
- Fiberglass duct board deterioration. Original fiberglass duct board from the 1960s and 1970s breaks down over decades. The inner lining sheds fine glass fibers that end up in your living space. Low-HEPA cleaning setups make this worse by agitating the material without proper containment. We use HEPA filtration rated for exactly this situation.
- Return duct contamination in split-levels. Returns running through crawlspaces pick up dust, rodent dander, and whatever else is down there. We’ve pulled everything from old construction debris to pet hair years old out of Brunswick return lines.
- Snowbelt particulate loading. Brunswick sits in the outer Lake Erie snowbelt. Furnaces run five to six months a year, which means five to six months of filtered air moving through the system, depositing fine particulate at every turn, elbow, and seam. Homes south of the snowbelt don’t accumulate debris at this rate.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Brunswick, OH
Let’s talk real numbers. A full system cleaning in a standard Brunswick ranch or split-level, supply and return, with video inspection and documented photo record, runs $450 to $700 depending on square footage and number of runs. Larger homes or those with finished basements that complicate access run $600 to $900. Commercial spaces are quoted by system and square footage after an on-site look. What affects cost: total duct runs, accessibility (finished basements take longer), and debris load. What does not affect cost: how nice your house is, or how much you appear willing to pay. The written price we give you before work starts is the price you pay, every time. That’s Haven Standard Clause 1.

The Brunswick Duct Problem Most Companies Won’t Name
Here’s what a technician who knows Brunswick sees when they walk into a 1970s ranch: original fiberglass duct board, horizontal trunk line running the full length of an unfinished basement ceiling, and seams that have opened slightly with every freeze-thaw cycle the house has lived through. Fifty Ohio winters. Fifty thaw seasons. The gaps aren’t dramatic, but they’re consistent. And they pull basement air, the air right above the floor where mold spores, insulation particles, and rodent dander collect, directly into the supply side. The registers deliver that air into your living room, your bedrooms, your kitchen. This pattern is concentrated in Brunswick’s 1960s and 1970s tract developments to a degree that neighboring Medina or Strongsville don’t share in the same proportion. Our teams see it weekly.
That’s why we make one thing clear on every Brunswick job: cleaning the ducts without addressing accessible seams is a half measure. We perform source removal across the entire system, then seal accessible seams. We won’t promise the impossible, we can’t reach seams buried inside finished walls, but we will do the work that actually changes what comes out of your registers.
In a 1974 ranch on Sleepy Hollow Road, our techs ran a camera inspection through original fiberglass duct board and found the horizontal trunk line’s unsealed joints had separated just enough to pull visible basement dust and insulation particles into the supply ducts. We used negative pressure and agitation tools to perform source removal across all supply and return ducts, then sealed the accessible seams; the homeowner immediately noticed the registers no longer delivered a musty basement smell when the furnace kicked on. That’s the job. That’s what we do.

FAQs - Air Duct Cleaning in Brunswick
Every four to six years is a realistic interval for a Brunswick home with original ductwork, and homes near unpaved roads or with pets should lean toward the shorter end. The snowbelt heating season means your furnace runs roughly five to six months a year, continuously depositing particulate into the system. Unsealed seams in 1970s trunk lines accelerate that accumulation. If you haven’t had your ducts cleaned since moving in, especially in a home built before 1985, now is the time. Call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll put a camera in your ducts and show you exactly where you stand.
Fiberglass duct board, common in Brunswick homes from that era, deteriorates over decades of use. The interior lining breaks down and sheds fine glass fibers into the air stream, and the material absorbs moisture during humid summers, creating a condensation risk that can promote mold growth inside the duct runs. Cleaning this material requires HEPA filtration and careful agitation, because using a low-filtration setup can actually release more fibers into your living space than it removes. Our equipment from Abatement Technologies and Rotobrush is built for exactly this material, and we document the interior of every run before and after.
Yes. Wood heat introduces fine ash and creosote particulate into the home that gets pulled into the return side and distributed through the supply ducts. Homes that burn wood regularly through Northeast Ohio winters should plan on duct cleaning every three to five years. The fine particulate from wood smoke is small enough to penetrate deep into the duct lining, especially into the fiberglass duct board common in Brunswick’s older homes, and it doesn’t just blow out of the registers on its own. Call (806) 606-6902 for a camera inspection and we’ll show you what’s accumulated.
Stand near a supply register when the furnace kicks on. If you smell basement, must, dust, or anything that smells like the floor joists above an unfinished basement, that’s a sign. Also check for gaps you can see from below: horizontal trunk lines running across the basement ceiling with visible separation at the joints. In Brunswick’s freeze-thaw climate, those joints open slightly every winter and don’t close back up. A video inspection with our camera will show you exactly which seams are pulling air and what’s being pulled in. That inspection is included with every quote we write.
In many cases, yes, sometimes dramatically. When duct runs are restricted by decades of debris accumulation, the air handler has to work harder to push air through the system, and you feel the result as weak airflow at the farthest registers, which in Brunswick split-levels is often the upstairs bedrooms. Removing that debris restores the air path. We’ve seen original 1970s furnaces move noticeably more air after a full system cleaning. That said, if your air handler is original and struggling, cleaning is one part of the picture. We’ll tell you what we see and what we’d do, in writing, before any work begins.
