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.

Fast, Reliable Air Duct Cleaning Across Newport Beach
Newport Beach homes don’t accumulate the same dust as inland Orange County. The salt-laden marine air off Newport Harbor and the Pacific works its way into return vents, corrodes metal duct collars, and feeds condensation that turns ordinary debris into a biological problem. We know the difference because our crews work Balboa Peninsula crawl spaces and Newport Coast attic runs every week. When you call (806) 606-6902, you’ll speak with a live person who can schedule a visit and explain exactly what our camera inspection will show before any work begins.
Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Is Newport Beach’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
The honest answer is documentation. We don’t ask Newport Beach homeowners to trust that we cleaned what they can’t see. Every job includes a photo record of the inside of every duct run, before and after. That practice has been standard since our first job in 2013, not a feature we added later.
Newport Beach customers research before they call. They want to see a written price, know who’s arriving, and understand what the work actually involves. Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and identified by name before arrival under Haven Standard Clause 3: Verified Crews. We publish our license number on the page, not buried in a footer.
Most importantly, we operate under Haven Standard Clause 1: a written price before any work starts. No exceptions. If a competitor quote exists, we’ll put our number next to it in writing, free.
BeforeAfterOur Air Duct Cleaning Services in Newport Beach
Residential Duct Cleaning
For homes across Newport Beach, from 1940s Balboa Island cottages to Newport Coast estates, we clean the full duct system: supply runs, return runs, the plenum (the central box where ducts meet the air handler), and every register. In Newport Beach, we pay particular attention to corrosion at flex-duct collars and salt efflorescence on register boots before we even start cleaning. You’ll see it in the before photos.
Commercial Duct Cleaning
For offices, retail spaces, and restaurant duct systems in Newport Beach, we provide the same written pricing and photo documentation we deliver to homeowners. Commercial jobs near the harbor often show the same salt-air corrosion pattern as residential systems, just on a larger scale. We schedule around your operating hours.
Supply Duct Cleaning
Supply ducts carry conditioned air from your HVAC system to each room. In Newport Beach’s coastal humidity, supply ducts on the Balboa Peninsula and Balboa Island are prone to condensation inside the duct run, which traps dust and creates mold-friendly conditions. We clean supply ducts with negative-pressure extraction, meaning debris is pulled out, not pushed around.
Return Duct Cleaning
Return ducts pull air back to the system. In Newport Beach, return ducts near exterior walls or crawl spaces often draw in salt-laden air through small leaks. We inspect and clean return ducts carefully, because a dirty return duct is what pushes contamination through the rest of the system. Camera inspection is standard on every return duct run.
Video Inspection
When we say we inspected your ducts, we mean we ran a camera through them. Video inspection is included with every full system cleaning in Newport Beach. You’ll see the inside of your ductwork on the screen before cleaning begins, and you’ll see it again when the job is done. No other Newport Beach Air Duct Cleaning company makes that a standard deliverable.
Full System Cleaning
Full system cleaning covers supply ducts, return ducts, plenums, air handler, blower, and registers. For Newport Coast homes with multiple systems and long flex-duct runs, this is the most thorough option and the one we recommend when salt-laden debris has been compacted at low points in the duct run.

Trusted Brands We Service in Newport Beach
We work on all major HVAC systems common to Newport Beach homes, including units from Honeywell and Aprilaire. Our crews carry parts and materials suited specifically to coastal environments, including replacement collars and boots for corroded flex-duct connections. If your system uses specialty filtration or zoning controls, our techs are familiar with the configurations common in Newport Coast and Corona del Mar estates.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Newport Beach Homes
- Salt corrosion on flex-duct collars and register boots. Balboa Island homes sit just feet above harbor water. The aluminum collars that connect flex duct to sheet metal boots show white salt efflorescence or surface rust. This requires cleaning and, in some cases, replacement before the duct system can be properly sealed.
- Condensation-driven mold in crawl space ducts. June Gloom pushes morning humidity above 80% RH along the coast. Ducts running through tight crawl spaces on Balboa Peninsula stay cool and damp, which turns ordinary dust into a mold substrate far faster than in Irvine or Lake Forest.
- Compacted debris in long Newport Coast flex-duct runs. Large estates have hundreds of linear feet of flex duct with multiple low points. Debris settles in those sags and compacts under its own weight. A shop-vac can’t remove it. Negative-pressure extraction and agitation tools are the only reliable method.
- Return ducts left untouched by single-flat-rate companies. When a company quotes one flat rate for a home with three systems and skip the return side, the salt-laden debris that causes the problem stays in the system. We clean supply and return ducts on every full system job, and document both with photos.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Newport Beach, CA
We price by the system, not by the vent. A single HVAC system in a standard Newport Beach home, meaning one furnace and one set of ducts, typically runs $425-$680. A larger home with two systems and longer runs typically falls between $800-$1,300. Newport Coast estates with three systems, multiple air handlers, and combined duct runs exceeding 1,000 linear feet generally cost $1,150-$1,900.

FAQs - Air Duct Cleaning in Newport Beach
A three-system Newport Coast home costs more because there is more ductwork to clean. Three separate systems with combined runs over 1,000 linear feet require roughly three times the labor and time as a single-system mid-century cottage. Companies quoting one low flat rate for jobs like this are either underbidding the labor or skipping sections. Our written price reflects the actual work required, documented with photos of every register and air handler.
You’ll receive a documented photo record of every duct run, before and after, on the same day the job is completed. The report shows the interior of each supply and return duct, including any areas where salt corrosion, mold, or debris were found prior to cleaning, and what they looked like after. The 365-Day Done Right Promise is written into this report. Call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll walk you through what a typical report looks like.
Salt air enters through return vents, duct leaks, and open crawl space penetrations. Homes on Balboa Island and the Balboa Peninsula sit feet above harbor water with minimal lot buffer. The salt particulate rides on humidity and gets drawn into the return side of the HVAC system. Over months and years, it deposits on metal surfaces inside the ductwork, causing the white efflorescence and rust we regularly see during camera inspections.
Each system is cleaned during the same visit, but each system requires its own cleaning work and its own documentation. The labor is what drives the price, not the number of visits. We’ll provide a written price for the whole job before starting, so you’ll know exactly what three-system cleaning costs without a vague estimate.
Yes. Original sheet metal ducts from the 1950s are often in better structural condition than newer flex duct, but they require different tools and less aggressive agitation. We use negative-pressure extraction and soft agitation methods that remove debris without stressing aged seams. We’ll note any existing damage on camera and show it to you before we start. Call (806) 606-6902 if you want a tech to assess your crawl space ducts.
