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 Canoga Park
Air duct cleaning in Canoga Park costs between $425 and $780 for a full single-family system, depending on the home’s square footage, the number of runs, and what our camera finds once we open the first panel. Most Canoga Park homes we service were built in the 1950s and 1960s, which means the ductwork is often original, fiberglass-lined, and carrying decades of accumulated debris that routine filter changes never touch. We schedule Canoga Park jobs six days a week, arrive with written pricing before any work begins, and photograph every duct run before and after as a standard deliverable. If you’re in Canoga Park and want an exact number for your home, call (806) 606-6902. You’ll get a live person.
Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Is Canoga Park’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
Homeowners in Canoga Park call us because we show them what’s inside their ducts before we ask them to pay for anything. The camera goes in first. That’s been our process since 2013, and it matters more in Canoga Park than almost anywhere else in the Valley. Houses here have a specific contamination profile: aging fiberglass liners shedding debris, galvanized trunk lines rusting at the seams, and in neighborhoods north of Sherman Way and west of Fallbrook Avenue, a fine gray-black ash layer bonded to the duct walls from the November 2018 Woolsey Fire that most owners have never actually seen. Our Air Duct Cleaning team doesn’t guess. We document.
Every CleanRun job in Canoga Park is backed by the 365-Day Done Right Promise, written into the service record, not buried in fine print. If the work isn’t right, we make it right. That’s Clause 1 of the Haven Standard: written price before any work starts. Clause 2 is the Documented Photo Record. Clause 3 covers our background-checked, uniformed technicians, who arrive identified by name and trained on professional-grade equipment from Rotobrush, Nikro, and Abatement Technologies. Tomas Reyes, who leads the CleanRun team, holds every job to those clauses. We’ve built our reputation in Canoga Park on one principle: evidence first, invoice second.
Our Air Duct Cleaning Services in Canoga Park
Residential Duct Cleaning
Full-system residential cleaning in Canoga Park runs $425-$780 for a single-family home. We open the plenum, run a camera through every supply and return run, and use HEPA-filtered negative pressure to extract what’s actually in there: decades of skin cells, pet dander, construction debris, and in many homes, Woolsey Fire ash. Every duct run is photographed before and after. You see the difference. No per-vent pricing games, no bait-and-switch numbers after the van is parked in your driveway.
Commercial Duct Cleaning
Canoga Park’s commercial strips along Topanga Canyon Boulevard and Sherman Way run older buildings with rooftop units that cycle constantly through Valley heat. Commercial jobs are quoted by system size and access difficulty, with buildings under 5,000 square feet typically falling between $900 and $1,800 depending on the number of registers and the condition of the main trunk line. We schedule commercial work around business hours and provide the same written price and photo record we deliver on residential jobs.
Supply Duct Cleaning
Supply ducts in Canoga Park homes carry conditioned air from the air handler to every register. In a 60-year-old tract home, those runs are often galvanized steel with failing tape at the joints, pulling attic insulation and dust into the airstream. Supply-side cleaning is the critical half of the job we emphasize on every Canoga Park inspection. Our crews use mechanical agitation plus negative pressure to source-remove what’s bonded to the duct walls, not just loosen it and hope it blows through.
Return Duct Cleaning
Return ducts are where Canoga Park homes show their age. We regularly find crushed flex runs, disconnected elbows, and return cavities that have been pulling unfiltered attic air for years. Cleaning the return side means first finding what’s disconnected. That’s where our video inspection changes the conversation: you’ll see the gap on camera, and you’ll see the sealed connection in the after photo.
Full System Cleaning & Video Inspection
Full system cleaning covers supply and return sides, the plenum, the blower cabinet, and every accessible register. In Canoga Park, this is the service we recommend for any home that hasn’t been cleaned within five years, and for any home in the Woolsey Fire smoke zone that hasn’t had a camera inspection at all. Video inspection is included on every CleanRun job and is the only way to see the gray-black ash layer that bonds to duct walls and off-gases every time the AC runs. If we find something that doesn’t belong in the ducts, you’ll see it. Written documentation travels with every photo.

BeforeAfterTrusted Brands We Service in Canoga Park
Most Canoga Park systems we service are paired with equipment from Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Guardsman. We work on all three regularly and understand how they integrate with older duct systems that were never designed for today’s higher-efficiency air handlers. When a Canoga Park home has an Aprilaire filter cabinet mounted to a 1960s plenum, the transition is often where air bypasses the filter entirely. We inspect for that on every job. No assumption, no skipping it. The camera goes in regardless of brand.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Canoga Park Homes
- Woolsey Fire ash bonded to duct walls. Homes on the north and west sides of Canoga Park, especially near the West Hills boundary, frequently show a fine gray-black residue that fused to duct interiors during the evacuation window. It doesn’t vacuum off with a shop vac. It requires agitation and HEPA-filtered extraction to remove properly.
- Fiberglass liner shedding from original 1950s-60s ducts. Early fiberglass-lined ductwork breaks down after decades of heat cycling. The liner sheds fine insulation particles that then circulate through the blower motor and into living spaces. A camera inspection makes the shedding obvious.
- Crushed or disconnected return runs. Attic work, pest activity, and general aging leave Canoga Park return ducts disconnected at the elbows. That means the system pulls attic air, insulation dust, and anything else floating above the ceiling directly into the home.
- Duct tape failures at galvanized seams. The standard repair from decades past was duct tape, and duct tape fails within a few Valley summers. Seams open, air escapes, and attic debris gets drawn in through the gaps. Duct sealing is frequently the real fix after a cleaning.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Canoga Park, CA
Here’s what air duct cleaning actually costs in Canoga Park’s market. A single-story 3-bedroom home built in the 1950s or 1960s typically runs $425-$550 for a full system clean, assuming no major disconnections. A two-story or split-level home with 15+ registers and hard attic access lands between $550-$780. Video inspection is included at no extra charge on every job, because we won’t clean what we haven’t seen. Duct sealing, if needed, is quoted separately after the camera work, with a written price before any sealing begins. Bring us a competitor’s written estimate and we’ll put our number next to it in writing. Free second opinion, no pressure, no obligation to proceed. Call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll walk you through a price range for your home’s specific floor plan before you ever commit to a visit.

FAQs - Air Duct Cleaning in Canoga Park
The only reliable way is a camera inspection. Ash from the Woolsey Fire is too fine to see through a register, and it doesn’t respond to a standard filter check. In Canoga Park homes north of Sherman Way especially, we routinely find a thin gray-black layer fused to supply duct walls, which only becomes visible when a camera is pushed into the run. If the AC has been running since November 2018, the system likely drew smoke through the return side during the evacuation window. Our camera answer is free with any cleaning. Call (806) 606-6902 and ask for a video inspection.
Fiberglass-lined ducts from the 1960s shed debris internally over decades of Valley heat cycling, and aggressive cleaning can accelerate that shedding if the liner is already failing. We use soft-bristle and pneumatic agitation tools appropriate for aging lined ducts, not hard metal brushes that flake the liner further. The camera inspection tells us whether the liner is intact enough to clean safely or whether replacement is the honest recommendation. What we won’t do is vacuum a deteriorating liner and call it clean. We’ll show you the condition on screen and give you a written scope either way.
Disconnected returns are common in Canoga Park homes where original sheet metal was joined with tape that failed under heat, or where flex runs were crushed by attic foot traffic over the years. Cleaning removes the debris inside the runs, but a disconnected return is a repair issue, not a cleaning issue. We seal and reconnect the runs after cleaning, and we photograph the before and after so you see the reconnection. It’s part of getting the system whole again, not a separate upsell. The written quote covers both cleaning and sealing when we find the disconnection on camera.
Every three to five years, depending on the system’s condition and what the camera shows. Homes that were exposed to Woolsey Fire smoke need a camera inspection at least once, regardless of the last cleaning date. Canoga Park’s particulate load is higher than coastal LA because of the Valley heat trap, which means systems here accumulate more per year. A 50-year-old duct system with original fiberglass liners needs monitoring more than a newer one does. We’d rather inspect every three years and tell you it’s fine than take your money for a clean the system didn’t need. The inspection is included with every service.
Because they aren’t quoting the same job. A $99 or $149 duct cleaning price is a visit fee, not a full system clean. The crew comes out, the price triples once they’re in the attic, and the work often skips the camera entirely. We’re known in Canoga Park for the opposite: one written price for the complete system, agreed before a panel comes off, with before-and-after photos of every run. That’s why our price is higher than the coupon. It’s the same price the whole way through. Call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll give you the written range for your home before we ever step in the door.
Yes. We schedule across all Canoga Park neighborhoods, from the Warner Center edge to the 91303 and 91304 zip codes, and from the Chatsworth border down to the Topanga corridor. We don’t promise same-day appointments because we photograph every run and that takes time, but we schedule by address, not by volume. Call (806) 606-6902 and a live person will give you a straight answer on scheduling.
