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 HVAC Cleaning Across Framingham
HVAC cleaning in Framingham typically runs $425-$780 for a full system, depending on home size and how much has accumulated inside the ducts. Most crews finish in 4-7 hours, and you get a written price before anyone removes a panel. We schedule Framingham jobs six days a week and our crews know the housing stock here better than most: the 1950s-1970s ranches along Route 9, the split-levels in Nobscot, and the multi-unit buildings in South Framingham. Call (806) 606-6902 and a live person answers, every time.
Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Is Framingham’s Preferred HVAC Cleaning Company
Since 2013, CleanRun has completed 52,000+ HVAC cleaning jobs, each one with a written price before work started and a documented photo record when the crew left. That practice matters in Framingham because so much of the ductwork here is original 1960s sheet-metal with degraded fiberglass liner. You need to see what’s actually inside before you know whether the job was done right.
Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed, and they operate under the H.A.V.E.N. Standard. Haven Standard Clause 3: Verified Crews. That means the person at your door is identified by name before arrival and has the training to handle Framingham’s particular duct problems, from crumbled liner in Nobscot crawl spaces to shared returns in South Framingham apartment buildings. Dispatch and scheduling run through our Boston office, but the crews working in Framingham live and work locally.
Every job includes the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If the work isn’t right, we make it right. No manager approval required, no fine print. Clauses 1 and 2 of the Haven Standard stay consistent: written price first, documented results last.
Our HVAC Cleaning Services in Framingham
These four services cover most of what Framingham systems need. Each quote includes a written scope, the exact equipment being used, and before-and-after photos of every duct run.
Evaporator Coil Cleaning
The evaporator coil sits above your furnace or inside the air handler, and in Framingham’s humid summers it collects a film of moisture, dust, and sometimes mold. A fouled coil reduces cooling output and forces the system to run longer cycles. In homes near Lake Cochituate or the Sudbury River wetlands, we see faster buildup because outdoor humidity stays elevated through spring and fall. We clean the coil with a commercial coil cleaner, rinse it thoroughly, and photograph the result.
Air Handler Cleaning
Your air handler is the box that houses the blower and coil. In Framingham ranches built from the 1950s through the 1970s, the air handler often sits in a basement utility area or a half-finished crawl space where dust, construction debris, and fiberglass liner particles collect. We clean the blower housing, the blower wheel, the coil, and the interior cabinet surfaces. The before-and-after photos of the inside of the air handler are part of your job record.
Blower Cleaning
The blower wheel pushes conditioned air through every register in your home. In Framingham, dust and pollen load is higher than in lower-density towns because of the city’s density, Route 9 traffic, and older duct systems. A dirty blower wheel loses efficiency and pushes debris through the supply ducts. Our technicians remove the blower housing, clean the wheel blades individually, and document the work with photos. Some crews skip this step entirely; we don’t.
Condenser Cleaning
Your outdoor condenser unit sits in the elements year-round. Framingham’s humid continental climate means it runs hard through summer, pulling in grass clippings, pollen, and cottonwood fluff if you have those trees nearby. We clean the condenser coils using professional-grade equipment from Rotobrush and Guardsman, clear the fins, and check for proper airflow. A clogged condenser coil makes your system run hotter and costs you more in electricity.

Common HVAC Cleaning Problems We See in Framingham Homes
- Crumbled fiberglass liner in split-level crawl spaces. In Nobscot and similar neighborhoods, duct runs often pass through the half-story crawl space between levels. The original 1960s fiberglass liner inside those runs breaks down over time and sheds fine particles into the air you breathe. Basic vacuuming doesn’t remove it; source removal with negative pressure does.
- Shared ductwork in South Framingham apartment buildings. Buildings from the 1960s and 1970s often share return plenums between units. One unit’s dust, pet dander, or mold re-enters through the common return within days. Building owners and condo associations need a whole-building approach, not unit-by-unit vacuuming.
- Moisture and mold from the Sudbury River corridor. Homes near wetlands and Lake Cochituate experience elevated humidity in spring and fall. Uninsulated duct runs through crawl spaces or basements collect condensation, and that moisture breeds mold. We treat the duct interior, recommend sealing where appropriate, and document everything with the camera.
- Heavy pollen and dust loading from Route 9 traffic and open land. Framingham sits at the intersection of dense residential neighborhoods, commercial corridors, and open conservation land. That mix produces a dust and pollen load heavier than most towns. Systems that run hard year-round in this climate accumulate debris faster than the national average.

FAQs - HVAC Cleaning in Framingham
Every 18-24 months, not the standard 3-5 years. Wood heat loads your ducts with fine ash, and unpaved road dust is finer and more penetrating than typical household dust. In Framingham homes with wood stoves or gravel driveways, we see the blower motor and air handler packing with debris within two years. Call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll give you a realistic interval based on your specific system and site conditions.
Yes, we clean those runs as part of every whole-home job. In Nobscot split-levels, the ductwork between the lower and upper levels passes through a half-story crawl space that was rarely insulated or sealed in original 1960s construction. We access those runs, inspect them with a camera, and clean them with agitation tools under negative pressure. If fiberglass liner has crumbled into the airstream, we remove it and document the before and after.
Yes. We service multi-unit buildings throughout South Framingham, including those with shared return plenums. The challenge with shared ducts is that one unit’s dust and mold re-enters through the common return within days. A whole-building cleaning is the only way to get a lasting result. We’ll write a scope for the full system, photograph every run, and coordinate with building owners or condo boards.
Annual coil cleaning is realistic for homes near the lake or river. The elevated ambient humidity in Framingham’s shoulder seasons means moisture sits on the evaporator coil longer, and that moisture binds dust into a film that reduces cooling efficiency. Most homeowners in those areas benefit from a quick coil cleaning every year, even if the full duct cleaning runs every 2-3 years. Call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll look at your specific system.
Yes, and that’s a large share of our Framingham work. Original sheet-metal ducts from that era often have fiberglass liner that has degraded over 50-plus years. We clean the interior without requiring liner replacement unless the liner has failed structurally. If replacement is warranted, we’ll tell you with photos and a written recommendation, not a sales pitch. The 365-Day Done Right Promise applies to every job, including these older systems.
