AfterAir Duct Cleaning in Clovis, CA
Dryer vent cleaning in Clovis is the single most overlooked maintenance job in the area, and it’s the one that puts homes at real risk. Clovis’s 15- to 30-year-old stucco tract homes, built during the rapid suburban buildout from the late 1980s through the 2010s, have long dryer vent runs that snake through attics baking above 140°F in summer. That heat, combined with the fine tan agricultural dust from surrounding almond orchards and vineyards, means lint builds up faster here than almost anywhere else in the Valley. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written price before we touch anything.
Why Clovis Homes Are Different
Clovis sits in the southern San Joaquin Valley, a geographic bowl the EPA consistently ranks among the worst in the nation for PM2.5 particulate matter. The city is surrounded on three sides by active agricultural operations – almond orchards, vineyards, and row crops – that generate seasonal dust loads from late summer through early fall. Because Clovis residents run central AC nearly continuously from May through October, their duct systems cycle this unusually contaminated outdoor air for thousands of hours every year.
The housing stock compounds the problem. Most single- and two-story stucco homes from the late 1980s through the 2010s have long forced-air duct runs and attic air handlers that bake in Valley heat, accelerating duct liner degradation. Near Herndon Avenue farm parcels and along the Harlan Ranch and Loma Vista corridor, our crews routinely pull filters and duct panels coated in fine tan agricultural dust during and after the August-October almond and grape harvest. These homes are old enough for original duct sealing to fail, but young enough that owners still think of them as ‘newer’ and skip maintenance entirely.
Our Main Clovis Services
Most Clovis homeowners call us first about two jobs: full air duct cleaning and HVAC system cleaning. Both get the same treatment here – a written price before any panel comes off, and a documented photo record of every duct run when we leave.
Air Duct Cleaning in Clovis
Full duct cleaning in Clovis is a different job than it is in, say, a coastal city. The near-zero humidity dries out duct board liners faster, causing them to shed fibers into the airstream. Add wildfire smoke from Sierra Nevada fires and diesel particulate trapped by temperature inversions, and the inside of a Clovis duct system accumulates a mix that surprises homeowners who’ve lived elsewhere. We use negative-pressure extraction with Rotobrush and Nikro equipment, and every run gets photographed before and after. This is our Air Duct Cleaning in Clovis page with full pricing and local details.
HVAC Cleaning in Clovis
HVAC cleaning in Clovis means addressing the evaporator coil, blower assembly, and plenum surfaces that see continuous duty from May through October. The agricultural dust that settles in ducts also cakes onto coil fins, reducing heat transfer and pushing energy bills up. We pull the blower, clean the coil with professional-grade equipment from Abatement Technologies, and document everything. See our HVAC Cleaning in Clovis page for the full scope and pricing.

BeforeAfterDryer Vent Cleaning in Clovis
Dryer vent cleaning in Clovis is the service we recommend most often, and the one where we find the most dangerous conditions. Long vent runs through superheated attics, combined with harvest-season agricultural dust and the Valley’s near-zero humidity, create a lint accumulation pattern that’s specific to this city. A vent that would be fine for three years in a milder climate can become a fire hazard in eighteen months here. Our full Dryer Vent Cleaning service includes a documented photo record of every foot of vent we can access, before and after.
Dryer Vent Inspection
Signs you need it
Clothes take longer than 45 minutes to dry, the dryer gets hot to the touch, or the laundry room smells musty when the dryer runs.
What it costs in Clovis
A standalone dryer vent inspection in Clovis typically runs $89 to $149, and it’s credited toward full cleaning if we find a blockage.
How we do it
We run a camera through the full vent run, check airflow at the exterior termination point, and document everything with photos so you can see exactly what’s inside.
Lint Removal
Signs you need it
Visible lint builds up around the dryer opening, the exterior vent flap doesn’t open fully during operation, or drying cycles have gotten noticeably longer over a few months.
What it costs in Clovis
Full lint removal from a standard Clovis dryer vent run costs $129 to $189, depending on run length and accessibility.
How we do it
We use a rotating brush system paired with a HEPA-filtered vacuum to pull lint out of the entire run, then photograph the interior at multiple points to confirm it’s clear.
Vent Rerouting
Signs you need it
Your dryer vent run exceeds 25 feet, has more than two elbows, or terminates at a location that’s become blocked by landscaping or exterior modifications.
What it costs in Clovis
Rerouting a dryer vent in Clovis costs $350 to $600 depending on the new termination point and how much drywall or attic access work is needed.
How we do it
We map the current run, calculate the shortest code-compliant path to the exterior, cut new termination if needed, and seal the old opening.
Bird Guard Installation
Signs you need it
Birds are nesting in or near the exterior vent opening, or you hear scratching sounds from the vent area in spring and early summer.
What it costs in Clovis
Bird guard installation for a dryer vent in Clovis runs $85 to $140, including removal of any existing nesting material.
How we do it
We clear the vent run, install a stainless steel guard over the exterior termination, and photograph the installation for the job record.
What Dryer Vent Cleaning Costs in Clovis
| Item | Typical range in Clovis |
|---|---|
| Dryer vent inspection | $89 - $149 |
| Lint removal / full cleaning | $129 - $189 |
| Vent rerouting | $350 - $600 |
Prices are written before any work starts, under Haven Standard Clause 1. No per-vent gimmicks, no coupon bait – you see the full number and approve it before a single panel comes off.
How often should dryer vents be cleaned in Clovis?
Every 12 to 18 months in Clovis, especially if your home is near agricultural parcels or the dryer vent run is long. The Valley’s dust load plus attic heat accelerates lint accumulation faster than coastal averages.
Why does my dryer take longer in Clovis than it did at my old house?
Vent runs in Clovis tract homes are often longer and pass through superheated attics, which condenses and compacts lint faster. Even a partially blocked vent can double drying time. Call (806) 606-6902 for an inspection with photos.
Duct Repair & Sealing in Clovis
Duct repair and sealing in Clovis addresses a problem most homeowners don’t know they have: original duct sealing and insulation on homes built from the late 1980s through the 2010s is now failing. Attic temperatures above 140°F dry out tape and mastic, joints separate, and conditioned air leaks into the attic instead of reaching bedrooms. Our Duct Repair & Sealing work starts with a camera inspection and a written price for exactly what we find.
Duct Sealing
Signs you need it
Some rooms never reach the thermostat temperature, energy bills climb during summer months, or you can feel warm air in the attic near duct joints.
What it costs in Clovis
Whole-system duct sealing in Clovis typically runs $450 to $900, depending on the number of accessible joints and the size of the home.
How we do it
We access each accessible joint, apply mastic sealant and foil tape per manufacturer spec, and photograph every sealed joint for the job record.
Flex Duct Repair
Signs you need it
Flex duct sections have visible sagging, tears, or kinks that restrict airflow to specific rooms, or the outer liner is deteriorated and shedding.
What it costs in Clovis
Replacing a damaged flex duct section in Clovis costs $180 to $340 per run, including materials and sealing at both connections.
How we do it
We remove the damaged section, install new insulated flex duct sized to match the original run, seal both ends with mastic, and photograph the finished work.
Mastic Sealant
Signs you need it
Visible gaps or cracks at metal duct connections, or a dusty attic with signs of air movement around joints when the system runs.
What it costs in Clovis
Targeted mastic sealing of problem joints in Clovis costs $150 to $300, depending on accessibility and the number of joints.
How we do it
We clean the joint surface, apply a full-coverage mastic seal, allow proper cure time, and verify the seal with a smoke pencil test.
What Duct Repair & Sealing Costs in Clovis
| Item | Typical range in Clovis |
|---|---|
| Whole-system duct sealing | $450 - $900 |
| Flex duct section replacement | $180 - $340 per run |
| Targeted mastic sealing | $150 - $300 |
Every repair gets a written price before we start, and every sealed joint gets photographed. The 365-Day Done Right Promise covers the work in writing.
Are duct leaks really costing me money in Clovis?
Yes. With attic temperatures routinely over 140°F, leakage at even a few joints can push 20 to 30 percent of conditioned air into the attic. We measure and document what we find. Call (806) 606-6902 for a free second opinion on any written estimate.
Can you seal ducts without replacing the whole system?
In most Clovis homes, yes. Targeting failing joints and damaged flex sections resolves the majority of leakage without full replacement. We scope exactly what’s needed with camera documentation.
Air Quality & Sanitizing in Clovis
Air quality and sanitizing work in Clovis is a direct response to the Valley’s PM2.5 problem. Temperature inversions trap agricultural dust, Sierra wildfire smoke, and diesel particulate, and the near-zero humidity dries out duct board liners, releasing fibers into the airstream. Our Air Quality & Sanitizing service addresses what the ducts leave behind. Every job includes a documented photo record and a written scope of what we applied and where.
Mold Treatment
Signs you need it
Visible mold growth on duct surfaces or registers, a persistent musty odor when the system runs, or a recent water event in the attic or crawlspace.
What it costs in Clovis
Mold treatment for duct systems in Clovis typically runs $400 to $800, depending on the extent of the affected area and accessibility.
How we do it
We apply an EPA-registered antimicrobial treatment to affected surfaces, photograph the treated areas, and document the product used in the job record.
Odor Removal
Signs you need it
Ductwork retains a cooking, pet, or smoke smell that returns whenever the fan cycles on, or a musty odor persists after cleaning.
What it costs in Clovis
Whole-system odor removal in Clovis costs $250 to $450, including treatment of all accessible duct runs and the air handler.
How we do it
We clean the duct system first, then apply a commercial odor-neutralizing treatment matched to the specific odor source, with photos documenting the process.
UV Light Installation
Signs you need it
Recurring mold or microbial growth on the coil or plenum despite regular cleaning, or a household member with respiratory sensitivities.
What it costs in Clovis
UV light installation for a Clovis HVAC system runs $600 to $950, including the unit, mounting, and electrical connection.
How we do it
We install a Honeywell or Aprilaire UV system at the coil location, wire it to operate with the blower, and photograph the complete installation.
Air Purifier Install
Signs you need it
Household members experience allergy symptoms that worsen during harvest season or wildfire smoke events, or you want active filtration beyond what standard media filters provide.
What it costs in Clovis
Air purifier installation in Clovis costs $400 to $800, depending on the unit and the complexity of the duct integration.
How we do it
We mount the purifier in the supply or return plenum, wire it to the blower circuit, verify operation, and photograph the installation for the record.
What Air Quality & Sanitizing Costs in Clovis
| Item | Typical range in Clovis |
|---|---|
| Mold treatment | $400 - $800 |
| Odor removal | $250 - $450 |
| UV light installation | $600 - $950 |
| Air purifier install | $400 - $800 |
Every air quality job includes a written scope and photo documentation. No vague reassurances – you see exactly what was applied and where.
Does air duct sanitizing actually help with Clovis dust?
Sanitizing addresses biological contaminants like mold and bacteria, not inert dust. We pair it with cleaning because Clovis’s agro-dust load needs physical extraction first, then treatment. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written scope.
Is a UV light worth it in Clovis?
For homes with recurring coil mold or microbial growth, a UV system can meaningfully reduce recolonization between cleanings. We recommend it based on what we document in your specific system, not as a blanket add-on.
Brands We Service in Clovis
We work on equipment from Honeywell, Aprilaire, Abatement Technologies, and Guardsman, and our crews carry common parts for these brands on Clovis jobs. That means less waiting on a second visit when something standard needs replacement. See our brands page for the full list of what we service.
