Air Duct Cleaning in Sunnyvale - One Flat Price, Before-and-After Photos

Fast, Reliable Air Duct Cleaning Across Sunnyvale

Air duct cleaning in Sunnyvale typically costs between $380 and $690 for a full residential system, and most jobs take one day with photo documentation of every duct run before and after. That’s the range we quote in writing, before a single panel comes off. We’re Tomas Reyes and the team at CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning, and we’ve spent years working inside the specific housing stock that defines this city: 1960s and 70s slab-foundation ranch homes with attic-slung ductwork that behaves very differently from newer construction.

If you’re in Lakewood, Cherry Chase, Ponderosa, or anywhere else across Sunnyvale’s roughly 22 square miles, call (806) 606-6902 for a written price on air duct cleaning. We don’t ask you to call for a quote. We give you a number, in writing, before work begins.

Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Is Sunnyvale’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company

Sunnyvale’s housing stock is a specific animal. Most of the city’s residential neighborhoods were built out in the 1960s and 70s for Lockheed Missiles & Space and early semiconductor workers, which means slab foundations, no crawl spaces, and forced-air ducts running through attics that regularly exceed 130°F in summer. That heat does things to ductwork that a technician only learns by working inside hundreds of these homes. We have. Since 2013, our crews have served 52,000+ homes, and a disproportionate share of our trickiest jobs come from Sunnyvale’s older tracts.

That local repetition shows up in how we work here. We know a Cherry Chase ranch from the same era will often have its original sheet-metal trunk line still in place under two or three furnace swaps. We know the Lakewood tract has a particular pattern of foil-tape patch jobs over crumbling mastic. We come to Sunnyvale prepared for hybrid duct systems, collapsed flex-duct liners, and the specific kind of debris accumulation that happens when central HVAC runs only intermittently through a mild climate and dust settles undisturbed for months.

Every job is quoted with a written price before work begins, under Haven Standard Clause 1. Every crew member is background-checked, uniformed, and identified by name before arrival. And every job ends with a Documented Photo Record of every duct run, inside, before and after. If it’s not done right, our 365-Day Done Right Promise means we make it right. In writing.

Our Air Duct Cleaning Services in Sunnyvale

Residential Duct Cleaning

Most Sunnyvale homes we clean are 1,400 to 2,200 square foot ranch-style builds from the 1960s and 70s. A full residential cleaning here involves negative-pressure extraction paired with rotary agitation tools from Rotobrush and Nikro, not a shop vac attached to a register. Because supply ducts in these homes run through superheated attics, we often find baked-on debris that requires more than a quick pass. We photograph every duct run before we start and again when we finish, so you can see the difference between what settled inside your ducts and what’s left.

Commercial Duct Cleaning

Sunnyvale’s commercial spaces range from small office parks along El Camino Real and Mathilda Avenue to R&D buildings near Moffett Park. Commercial duct cleaning in these older buildings often means long trunk runs, multiple branch drops, and decades of accumulated fine particulate. We coordinate scheduling around your business hours and provide the same written pricing and photo record we do for residential jobs. No exceptions to Haven Standard Clause 1, regardless of building size.

Supply Duct Cleaning

Supply ducts are the arteries of your HVAC system, and in Sunnyvale’s attic-slung ranch homes, they’re the ones baking in 130°F+ heat all summer. We clean supply runs with rotary brush agitation under continuous negative pressure, and we pay close attention to joints and elbows where old mastic and foil tape have failed. In Lakewood, we camera-inspected a 50-year-old sheet-metal supply trunk still sealed with layers of foil tape and mastic from decades of DIY fixes, then used negative pressure and rotary agitation tools to dislodge caked-on debris from every branch run before replacing collapsed flex-duct inner liners on two supply takes. After the full-system clean, the blower motor no longer labored and register airflow increased noticeably.

Return Duct Cleaning

Return ducts in older Sunnyvale homes tend to be undersized for the furnace upgrades they’ve received, which means higher static pressure and faster dust accumulation at corners and joints. We clean return runs as thoroughly as supply runs because half the system is only as clean as the side pulling air back through it. Our camera inspection shows you exactly what’s inside before we start, because in a 60-year-old return duct, what you can’t see is usually worse than what you can.

We also offer Air Duct Cleaning for full-system jobs, including supply and return ducts, plenum, and register covers, with video inspection as a standard deliverable. And our Full System Cleaning and Video Inspection services are covered in detail below.

Trusted Brands We Service in Sunnyvale

Our equipment roster includes Guardsman, Rotobrush, and Nikro. These are professional-grade tools you can look up independently before agreeing to a price. Guardsman negative-pressure units pull up to 12,000 CFM through HEPA filtration, which matters when we’re extracting particulate from ducts that have been baked in a Sunnyvale attic for five decades. We stock common replacement parts including flex-duct liners and mastic sealants for older systems throughout the South Bay, so turnaround on duct repair work in Sunnyvale doesn’t stall while parts ship from elsewhere.

Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Sunnyvale Homes

• Collapsed flex-duct inner liners. The outer insulated jacket looks intact from the attic walkway, but the inner liner has delaminated and collapsed under years of 130°F+ heat. This chokes airflow silently, and most homeowners only find out through camera inspection or an airflow test.
• Hybrid duct systems with mismatched materials. Two or three furnace replacements over the life of a 1960s ranch usually leave the original sheet-metal trunk in place, with newer flex drops patched on with whatever tape was handy. Joints trap debris, and complete source removal often requires partial disassembly.
• Baked-on fiberglass duct board dust. Porous fiberglass duct board absorbs fine particulate, and in a mild Mediterranean climate where HVAC runs only intermittently, that particulate sits and bonds. A routine cleaning after wildfire smoke events leaves odor embedded unless HEPA filtration pairs with agitation tools.
• Wildfire smoke saturation. When AQI readings top 150 in Sunnyvale, residents seal windows and run HVAC continuously for days. That drives PM2.5 deep into every branch run and onto duct surfaces. After the smoke clears, the ducts hold it.
