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 Marietta
HVAC cleaning in Marietta typically costs $385-$720 for a full system cleaning, depending on the size of the home and the condition of the equipment. Most jobs take four to six hours and include the coil, blower, air handler, and accessible duct runs. If you live in an older Marietta ranch or split-level near Dobbins Air Reserve Base, that price range matters, because your system is likely fighting decades of pollen, humidity, and possibly failing duct board. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written price before any work starts.
Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Is Marietta’s Preferred HVAC Cleaning Company
Our crews know the difference between a 1982 split-level off Powder Springs Road and a 2005 colonial in East Cobb. That matters because the cleaning approach is not the same. Marietta’s housing stock between the mid-1960s and early 1990s went up fast, built for a Lockheed-Georgia workforce. A lot of those homes still run original fiberglass duct board and first-generation flex duct. We see the same failures repeat across neighborhoods near Dobbins, along Roswell Road, and in subdivisions east of I-75.
We have been doing this since 2013. Over 52,000 homes served, every one with a written price before work started and a documented photo record when the crew left. Tomas Reyes runs the team, and he holds us to the H.A.V.E.N. Standard: written pricing, verified crews, documented results. You do not get a “call for a quote” line from us. You get a number in writing before a panel comes off.
We serve the full Marietta area including the neighborhoods along Whitlock Avenue, the ranch-heavy streets west of Canton Road, and the older subdivisions around Austell Road. Scheduling for Marietta is coordinated from our Atlanta office, and our uniformed technicians are background-checked and identified by name before they arrive. Every job ends with a Documented Photo Record. You see inside every duct run, before and after.
Our HVAC Cleaning Services in Marietta
Evaporator Coil Cleaning
Marietta’s spring pollen load is among the heaviest in the country. Loblolly pine and oak drop a fine yellow film that gets pulled straight through the return side and caked onto the evaporator coil. An evaporator coil cleaning in Marietta runs $180-$340 and typically removes a quarter-inch of packed pollen, dust, and sometimes a greasy film you cannot fix with a filter change. We photograph the coil before and after so you see exactly what was on it.
Blower Cleaning
The blower motor and wheel pull air across everything that has ever entered your returns. In rural Marietta properties with unpaved roads and open land, that means grit, dust, and pollen get baked onto the blower wheel blades until airflow drops. Blower cleaning runs $150-$260. On a split-level off Powder Springs Road near the base, we pulled the blower housing and found the wheel so loaded that it was running out of balance. Cleaned, documented, and back to full airflow the same day.
Condenser Cleaning
Condenser cleaning outside runs $110-$190 in Marietta. Cottonwood fluff, grass clippings from Cobb County lawns, and the dust of summer dry spells clog the fins and drive up your August electric bill. We wash the coil, clear the debris, and document the condition. This is part of a full system cleaning, not a package you have to chase.
Air Handler Cleaning
Air handler cleaning runs $240-$420 for most Marietta homes. The air handler cabinet is where the blower meets the coil, the filter slot, and often a condensate pan. In Marietta’s muggy summers, that pan holds water. Add dust and you get a microbial film that rides into the supply air. We clean the cabinet, the blower housing, the coil face, and the drain pan, and we photograph the process for you.

BeforeAfterTrusted Brands We Service in Marietta
We work on all major HVAC brands, but what we use matters just as much. Our equipment roster includes Rotobrush, Nikro, and Guardsman, all trade-recognized tools you can look up before you agree to a job. For Marietta customers, that equipment matters on older systems. A 1978 air handler with a delaminated duct board liner needs negative air pressure and agitation, not a shop vac. Our crews dispatch from the Atlanta office with professional-grade equipment assigned per job, not per franchise territory. We are independently owned and operated under the Haven Standard.
Common HVAC Cleaning Problems We See in Marietta Homes
- Fiberglass duct board delamination. Homes built before 1985 near Dobbins Air Reserve Base often have duct board that has separated inside the duct, shedding raw fiberglass into supply air. Standard filters cannot catch these fibers. Cleaning with the right negative-pressure setup removes the loose material and gives you a photo record of what was back there.
- Sagging flex duct in attics. First-generation flex duct from the 1980s sags over time, especially in Marietta’s humid attic spaces. The sag collects condensation, then pollen, then by July you have a damp, mold-friendly pocket in your supply run. We find these with a camera, clean them, and tell you if the duct itself needs replacement.
- Oversized blower wheels buried in dirt. On rural properties around Marietta with unpaved roads or horse acreage, fine dust sneaks past return seals and loads the blower wheel. The motor pulls more amperage, airflow drops, and the system short cycles. A blower cleaning restores airflow and you hear the difference immediately.
- Pollen-clogged evaporator coils. Loblolly pine pollen in March and April in Marietta is relentless. February through May is our heaviest coil cleaning season. If your system runs on a low-MERV fiberglass filter, that pollen is passing straight through to the coil face.
Pricing for HVAC Cleaning in Marietta, GA
A full HVAC cleaning in Marietta runs $385-$720 for most single-family homes. That covers the evaporator coil, blower motor and wheel, air handler cabinet, condensate pan, and accessible supply and return duct runs. The HVAC Cleaning team writes that price down before work starts. No per-vent pricing, no upsell ladder, no “we found mold so that’ll be extra” after the fact. Haven Standard Clause 1 is a written price first.
Homes with original fiberglass duct board, long attic runs, or severe buildup may run toward the top of that range. Ranch homes built in the 1970s with six or seven registers and a single air handler typically fall between $450 and $600.

FAQs - HVAC Cleaning in Marietta
Every 18 to 24 months is a realistic interval for rural Marietta properties with unpaved roads, open land, or pasture anywhere nearby. Fine road dust gets past even a good return filter, loads the blower wheel, and packs the evaporator coil faster than a suburban Cobb County home would see. If you use a wood stove or fireplace in the winter, you may want to lean toward the 18-month end. Call (806) 606-6902 and we can inspect the blower and tell you what the buildup actually looks like.
No, if the cleaning uses negative-pressure extraction rather than aggressive brushing on the interior duct board surface. Aggressive brushing on delaminated duct board can loosen more fibers. The right approach uses controlled negative pressure with agitation that removes the loose material without tearing further at the liner. We start with a camera inspection, so you know the condition of the duct board before anything is cleaned. If the duct board has fully failed, we will tell you and document it rather than pretending cleaning will solve a structural failure.
Yes. The pollen that reaches the evaporator coil does not necessarily build up evenly inside the ducts. You can have a coil packed with a dense yellow-brown film while the duct walls look acceptable. In Marietta, from March through May, loblolly pine pollen fills the air. It makes contact with the wet coil and sticks. A coil cleaning alone can drop your high-side pressures and improve temperature drop, and we document the before-and-after so you can see it.
Yes, and we see it often on rural properties around Marietta with wood stoves or fireplaces as a primary heat source in winter. Fine wood ash and smoke particulate are far smaller than most dust, so they travel deeper into the blower housing, the coil, and into the return duct trunk. That same particulate can also settle in the dryer ventilation path, which is why we recommend checking the dryer vent during an HVAC cleaning on wood-heated homes. The ash is fine enough that a standard filter catches only part of it. Call (806) 606-6902 if you want a camera look at what is actually inside the blower housing.
Because the default assumption on a pre-1985 Marietta home near Dobbins is that the fiberglass duct board liner has already begun to separate. That failure mode is common enough that experienced crews treat it as the norm, not the exception. Newer East Cobb construction uses sheet metal or modern flex duct that does not delaminate the same way. On older homes, the cleaning has to account for loose fiberglass, sagging flex, and decades of humidity cycling in the attic. The price and the process are different, and you should know that before you agree to a job.
