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 Franklin
Air duct cleaning in Franklin, MA typically runs $450-$900 for a full system on a 2,500-4,000 sq ft two-story home, and most jobs take one full day. That’s the honest range you should expect to see in writing before anyone touches a register. CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning serves Franklin homeowners with one flat price per system agreed to upfront, a documented photo record of every duct run, and a 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. Call (806) 606-6902 and you’ll get a written price before work starts. Not a teaser. Not a call-back with conditions.
Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Is Franklin’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
Franklin isn’t a market where you can fake local knowledge. The housing stock is too specific. We’ve worked inside enough Westhaven and Berry Farms attics to know what a mid-2000s flex-duct installation looks like after 15 years of Franklin humidity and cedar pollen. That experience changes how we quote and how we clean. Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and identified by name before arrival under Haven Standard Clause 3: Verified Crews. Every job ends with a Documented Photo Record, so you see the inside of your duct runs before and after, not just a service ticket saying “cleaned.”
We’re not the cheapest option in Franklin and we won’t pretend to be. Homeowners who call us are usually done with the $79 coupon model where a tech arrives, spends 45 minutes making noise, and hands over an invoice for $700 of “add-ons.” That doesn’t happen here. Haven Standard Clause 1 states the written price is delivered before any work begins, every time, on every job. Tomas Reyes, our owner, established that standard in 2013 and it hasn’t changed.
Our crews serve Franklin directly from the brand’s Boston office. Response time to most Franklin neighborhoods is one business day for scheduling and same-week availability for most full-system jobs.
Our Air Duct Cleaning Services in Franklin
Residential Duct Cleaning
Large two-story Franklin homes with multi-zone forced-air systems need more than a quick pass through the main trunk line. We clean the supply side, the return side, the plenum, and every accessible register. In Franklin’s master-planned communities, that often means working in unconditioned attics where 30-40 foot flex-duct runs have been sitting since the mid-2000s. A typical residential job in Franklin runs $450-$900 depending on square footage, number of zones, and attic access conditions.
Commercial Duct Cleaning
Franklin’s commercial spaces, from offices along Route 140 to retail and medical suites, accumulate dust differently than homes. Higher occupancy turnover, longer run times, and flat-roof HVAC units pull in more particulate matter. We schedule commercial work in Franklin during off-hours where needed and provide the same written price and photo documentation we give residential customers. A small commercial system in Franklin typically starts around $650 and scales with square footage and register count.
Supply Duct Cleaning
Supply ducts carry conditioned air from your air handler to every room. In Franklin homes, these are often flex duct run through hot attics. When those ducts sag or kink, airflow drops and the dust that should be moving toward your register settles inside the duct instead. We clean supply runs with HEPA-filtered negative-pressure extraction, which means we’re pulling contaminants out rather than brushing them loose into your living space. Supply-only cleaning in Franklin runs $250-$450 for most homes.
Return Duct Cleaning
Return ducts pull air back to your system, and they’re the first place Franklin’s red cedar pollen shows up. From January through March, that fine, waxy pollen clings to duct liner and filter media. Cleaning the return side properly means addressing the entire pathway, not just what’s visible at the register. Return duct cleaning in a typical Franklin two-story runs $200-$400, but most homeowners bundle it with the supply side for efficiency.

BeforeAfterTrusted Brands We Service in Franklin
Franklin homes run a mix of builder-grade equipment from the 2000s and newer replacements. We work on systems built around Honeywell zoning controls, Aprilaire media cabinets, and Guardsman filter housings. Our technicians carry parts for these common Franklin setups, so a zoning damper issue or media cabinet seal can often be addressed during the same visit. We also run Abatement Technologies HEPA equipment on every job, which matters when you’re pulling a decade of accumulated dust out of a 3,000 sq ft home’s ductwork.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Franklin Homes
- Sagging flex duct in attic runs. In Westhaven and Berry Farms, attic ducts installed during the 2000s construction rush now sag or kink, reducing airflow and trapping dust. A cleaning-only quote misses the disconnected joints leaking conditioned air into unconditioned space.
- Cedar pollen accumulation in return ducts. Franklin’s January-through-March Eastern red cedar season sends fine, waxy pollen through returns and onto duct liner. Once it’s there, normal airflow won’t dislodge it.
- Builder-grade duct board breakdown. Homes built between 2000 and 2018 in Franklin’s production subdivisions often still have original duct board that’s swelling and shedding fibers. This isn’t something a basic vacuum pass addresses.
- Second-floor airflow complaints. Long attic runs in large two-story homes often mean the upstairs registers get weak airflow. The cause is usually the duct run itself, not the blower motor.

FAQs - Air Duct Cleaning in Franklin
Homes built in those subdivisions during the mid-2000s used extensive flex-duct runs in unconditioned attics, and after 15-plus years those runs sag, kink, or separate at the joints. A camera inspection during cleaning often reveals disconnected ducts that have been dumping conditioned air into the attic. The cleaning is still necessary, but the repair is what actually restores airflow. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written quote that covers both, so there are no surprises.
Franklin’s Eastern red cedar pollen season runs from January through March, and that pollen is fine and waxy enough to cling to duct liner rather than blow through. Once it’s embedded, it holds moisture and contributes to dust accumulation year-round. Schedule a cleaning after cedar season ends, and consider upgrading to a better media filter, like the Aprilaire cabinets we service. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written price on a spring cleaning.
No. A shared dryer vent stack in a Franklin condo building must be cleaned as a single pathway from the unit to the roof or sidewall termination. Cleaning only your unit’s portion leaves the common riser packed with lint, which is the actual fire risk. We coordinate with building management in Franklin to clean the full stack and document the entire run. Call (806) 606-6902 for a quote.
Supply ducts deliver conditioned air to your rooms and are typically the flex-duct runs in your attic. Return ducts pull air back to the system and are where most pollen and dust enter. Both need separate attention because they accumulate different contaminants at different rates. A full-system quote covers both. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written price on your specific home.
A video inspection before cleaning shows what’s actually in your ducts, so you know what you’re paying for. A video inspection after cleaning shows what we actually removed. CleanRun includes a Documented Photo Record as a standard deliverable on every Franklin job, so you receive before-and-after images of every duct run, not just a verbal summary. Call (806) 606-6902 and ask for the written price and photo record details.
