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, TN typically costs $450-$1,100 for a full system clean of a 2,500-4,500 sq ft home, and most jobs take 4-7 hours. We work in Franklin every week, which means our crews know the difference between a Westhaven attic run and a downtown Franklin retrofit without needing a GPS tour first. If you’ve been putting off duct cleaning because you’re not sure what’s actually inside your ductwork, we’ll show you before and after photos of every run we clean. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written price before any work starts.
Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Is Franklin’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
Franklin homeowners don’t hire us because we’re friendly on the phone. They hire us because we put a written price in front of them before a single panel comes off, and because that price doesn’t change after the truck arrives. That’s Haven Standard Clause 1, and it’s been the rule on every one of the 52,000+ homes we’ve served since 2013. No exceptions in Franklin, no exceptions anywhere else.
Our crews rolling through Franklin know what they’re looking at in your attic. The mid-2000s production builds across Westhaven, Berry Farms, Ladd Park, and Sullivan Farms share the same fingerprints: long flex-duct runs, builder-grade duct board, and attics that hit 130°F in August. When Tomas Reyes sends a team to Franklin, he’s sending techs who’ve already seen your neighbor’s duct layout, not techs learning it for the first time on your dime.
We’re also not shy about documentation. Every Franklin job ends with a photo record of the inside of every duct run, before and after. That’s the standard deliverable, not an upsell. If the photo looks the same after we’re done, you shouldn’t pay. The 365-Day Done Right Promise backs that in writing, not in a phone call where a manager decides if you’re allowed to be unhappy.
If you want to compare, bring us a competitor’s written estimate. We’ll put our number next to it in writing and you can decide which one makes sense. That’s the Free Second Opinion, and it’s exactly what it sounds like.
Our Air Duct Cleaning Services in Franklin
Residential Duct Cleaning
Full-system residential cleaning in Franklin means every supply run, every return run, and the plenum (the central box where all your ducts connect at the air handler) get negative-pressure extraction and agitation. That’s the only method that actually removes debris from 30-40-foot attic runs instead of shoving it downstream into bedrooms. Homes in Franklin’s master-planned communities often have five to seven supply runs per floor, and we clean each one individually.
Commercial Duct Cleaning
Franklin’s office parks, medical buildings, and retail spaces along Cool Springs Boulevard and McEwen Drive have commercial systems with longer runs and heavier filtration demands. We schedule commercial work around your operating hours and provide the same documented photo record for every duct run. Written pricing still applies, and we’ll walk your facility manager through the scope before work begins.
Supply Duct Cleaning
Supply ducts carry conditioned air from your air handler to the registers in each room. In Franklin homes with attic-mounted systems, these are usually flex-duct runs that sag and collect debris at low points. We clean them with a combination of negative-pressure extraction and mechanical agitation, then photograph the interior at the register boot and at the trunk connection so you can see the difference.
Return Duct Cleaning
Return ducts pull air back to the air handler, which means they carry the dust, dander, and fine cedar pollen that’s already in your living space. In Franklin, the January-to-March Eastern red cedar season loads these runs with a waxy pollen that sticks to duct liner and resists basic brushing. We clean return runs with the same source-removal method and document the result the same way.
Video Inspection
Before we touch anything, we run a camera through the system. That’s not a sales tactic. It’s how we know whether the job is a straightforward cleaning or a delaminating duct board repair. Franklin homes built between 2000 and 2015 frequently have builder-grade duct board that’s now failing, and you can’t see that from the register. You can see it on camera, and we’ll show you the footage.
Full System Cleaning
Full system cleaning covers the supply runs, the return runs, the plenum, the air handler cabinet, and the register boots. For Franklin’s larger two-story homes, this is the job that actually solves the “why is the upstairs still dusty” problem. We clean the whole path, not just the visible parts. A full Air Duct Cleaning on a 3,500 sq ft Franklin home typically takes 5-7 hours with a two-person crew.

BeforeAfterTrusted Brands We Service in Franklin
Franklin homes run on every brand of HVAC equipment, but we see a lot of Honeywell filtration, Aprilaire media cabinets, and Abatement Technologies accessories in the area’s larger homes. Our crews are familiar with these systems and carry the common consumables for them, which means fewer second trips when a filter media or UV bulb needs replacement during cleaning. If your system uses Guardsman components, we service those too. We stick to professional-grade equipment on our end as well, including Rotobrush and Nikro systems, so the tool doing the work is the same one our crews would want in their own ducts.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Franklin Homes
Some problems show up in Franklin more than anywhere else we work. Here’s what we find when we open up a system in this part of Williamson County:
- Sagging flex-duct runs in mid-2000s builds. Homes in Westhaven, Berry Farms, and Ladd Park were framed during a construction rush, and attic duct runs of 30-40 feet were often left with minimal support. The duct sags, dust settles in the low spots, and the airflow to far bedrooms drops.
- Delaminating builder-grade duct board. The fiberglass duct board used in many of Franklin’s production homes is now 15-25 years old. The interior liner starts to separate, and that material ends up in your air stream. A surface-level cleaning doesn’t fix it. We find it on camera and show you what it looks like.
- Heavy cedar pollen loading from January through March. Franklin’s Eastern red cedar season is intense, and the pollen is fine and waxy enough to cling to duct liner. If your home’s system runs continuously during both summer cooling and cedar season, contamination accumulates faster than in drier or lower-pollen markets.
- Disconnected joints where air dumps into the attic. We find this constantly in Franklin’s mid-2000s subdivisions. A flex-duct collar separates at the trunk line, and conditioned air has been blowing into an unconditioned attic for years. The homeowner paid to heat and cool attic air, and the duct system pulls insulation dust into the living space at the same time.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Franklin, TN
A full-system air duct cleaning on a typical Franklin home runs $450-$1,100 depending on square footage, number of floors, and the number of duct runs. Residential duct cleaning for a 2,500 sq ft single-zone system starts around $450-$650. A 4,000-4,500 sq ft two-story home with two zones typically runs $750-$1,100. Video inspection is included with every cleaning, not billed separately.
If a job reveals significant duct repair work, like reconnecting a separated joint or replacing a failed section of duct board, that’s quoted separately in writing before we do it. We don’t surprise you with a repair line item at the end of the day. The price you approve before we start is the price you pay. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written quote specific to your home.

FAQs - Air Duct Cleaning in Franklin
Westhaven homes built in the mid-2000s often have long, minimally supported flex-duct runs in hot attics, and the combination of sagging, builder-grade duct board, and Franklin’s heavy cedar pollen season means debris accumulates faster and sticks harder than in older or differently built homes. Nashville’s housing stock is more varied, but Westhaven and similar Franklin subdivisions share a specific construction era with predictable duct flaws. Call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll camera-inspect your system and show you what’s actually inside.
In most Franklin two-story homes, second-floor ducts run through attic space above the ceiling, so we access them from the attic, not by cutting into drywall. If your ducts run through a floor cavity between stories, we may need to remove a register boot or work through an existing access point. We’ll tell you exactly what the access plan is before we start, and it’s in writing in your quote.
The most common cause in Franklin’s two-story production homes is a sagging or kinked flex-duct run in the attic, often combined with a disconnected joint at the trunk line. Cleaning removes debris, but if the duct is physically collapsed or separated, no amount of cleaning will restore airflow. That’s why our video inspection happens before and after cleaning, so we can identify a structural problem like a separated joint as soon as we see it. If we find one, we quote the repair separately in writing.
Yes. Your dryer vent is a separate run that carries lint and hot, humid air to the outside, and it needs its own cleaning. In Franklin homes with laundry rooms on the second floor, those dryer vent runs can be long and prone to lint accumulation. We offer dryer vent cleaning as a separate service with its own documented photo record, and it’s quoted separately from HVAC duct cleaning.
In attached buildings like the townhomes and condos in Berry Farms, shared duct chases and party walls mean we take extra care to seal off neighboring units’ vents during negative-pressure cleaning so debris doesn’t cross-contaminate adjacent supply and return ducts. Some HOAs also require access notices or limit attic work to specific hours, and we’ll work with your property manager on those requirements. If you’re in an attached Franklin building, mention that when you call so we can schedule the right crew and equipment.
