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.

Call (806) 606-6902 and you’ll get a live person, a straight answer, and a written scope before we schedule anything.
Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Is Novi’s Preferred HVAC Cleaning Company
Novi homeowners don’t call us because of a coupon. They call because their furnace has been running since 1996, the registers in the upstairs bedrooms barely move air, and nobody has ever put a camera inside the ducts. We’ve built our reputation in this city on showing people what’s actually there. Every job ends with a Documented Photo Record - the inside of every duct run, before and after, delivered to you as part of the standard job record. That practice has been in place since our first job in 2013, and it’s why homeowners in neighborhoods like Meadowbrook Lake and Island Lake of Novi keep our number saved.
Tomas Reyes, who runs CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning, insists on one thing above all: the written price comes before any work starts. Haven Standard Clause 1. Not a ballpark. Not a verbal estimate. A written scope with a dollar figure attached, handed to you before a single panel comes off. That’s the same whether we’re cleaning a four-zone colonial off Pontiac Trail or a ranch off Novi Road. Background-checked, uniformed technicians arrive by name, and they photograph everything. Dispatch and scheduling are coordinated from the brand’s Detroit office; crews serve Novi locally, and we answer the phone around the clock.
Our HVAC Cleaning Services in Novi
We clean the entire forced-air system, not just the visible registers. Here’s what that means in the homes we see across Novi.
Air Handler Cleaning
In Novi’s larger colonials, the air handler is frequently tucked into a basement mechanical room that also stores seasonal clutter and sheds carpet fibers. We pull the blower assembly, clean each blade, vacuum the housing, and treat the condensate pan. On a 3,200 sq ft home with multi-zone dampers, a dirty blower wheel cuts airflow to the upstairs, which is exactly what we find in many 20-30-year-old systems off Taft Road and Nine Mile. Air handler cleaning in Novi runs $200-$400 depending on access and whether the coil is combined in the same cabinet.
Evaporator Coil Cleaning
This is the most overlooked piece in Novi homes built during the 1990s boom. The evaporator coil sits in the plenum above the furnace, and after decades of recirculating drywall dust from original construction, it becomes a damp, caked blockage. Air can’t pass through it. The furnace still runs, but the upstairs stays warm in July. Evaporator coil cleaning in Novi typically runs $150-$300, and we photograph the before and after so you can see the difference between a coil that was actually cleaned and one that got a rinse-and-wave. If the coil is original to a 1995-2005 system, we can tell you honestly whether cleaning is worth it or whether the coil needs replacement instead.
Blower Cleaning
The blower wheel in a Novi colonial accumulates a dense film on the forward-curved blades. That film thickens every heating season - and Novi’s heating season runs long, from November through March most years. A loaded blower wheel runs out of balance, strains the motor, and delivers less air to every room. Blower cleaning in Novi runs $100-$200 as part of a full HVAC clean, or as a standalone service. We clean the wheel, the housing, and the motor mounting surfaces, and we check the capacitor while we’re in there. Most homeowners don’t realize how quiet the system becomes until they hear it after the work is done.
Condenser Cleaning
The outdoor condenser on Novi homes catches everything: maple helicopters, cottonwood, grass clippings, and the construction dust that drifts over from the Grand River Avenue corridor. A clogged condenser coil drives head pressure up and cuts cooling capacity. Condenser cleaning runs $100-$180 in Novi and includes coil combing where fins are bent, plus a full rinse and a check of the electrical disconnect. It’s part of the same written quote we hand you before work starts.

BeforeAfterTrusted Brands We Service in Novi
We work on systems from every major manufacturer, and we stock common parts for the brands most found in Novi homes: Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Goodman, Rheem, and Bryant. When a coil panel or blower housing is corroded beyond cleaning, our crews carry Guardsman and Honeywell replacement components that fit Novi’s typical 1990s-2000s installations. For cleaning, we run Rotobrush and Nikro professional-grade equipment - negative-pressure extraction systems paired with rotary agitation, not a shop vac and a brush. You can look up every piece of gear we bring before we ever set foot in your Novi home. That’s the point. Equipment you can verify, a price you can compare, and photos you can keep.
Common HVAC Cleaning Problems We See in Novi Homes
- Multi-zone dead zones in big colonials. Novi’s executive homes often have four or five zones, branching off a main trunk with long supply runs to second-floor bedrooms. Techs from cookie-cutter franchises spend 45 minutes, clean the first 15 feet of trunk line, and call it done. We scope every branch, every return drop, and every register run - because on a 4,200 sq ft home, the eighth register is 80 feet from the plenum, and that’s where the debris is.
- Crushed flex duct in bonus rooms. Those third-floor bonus spaces over garages - extremely common in the subdivisions off Beck Road and Grand River - are typically served by flex duct run through tight attic chases. Renovations crush them. Insulation sags onto them. And they’re rarely inspected. Our camera finds them, and we’ll bring you the photo. Duct repair and sealing is the real fix, and it’s priced separately in writing before we start.
- Original drywall dust from construction. A house built in 1998 has been circulating the dust from its own construction through the ductwork for 27 years. Not sawdust. Fine white gypsum powder that compacts into a dense cake at every elbow and transition. This is what our techs actually find in Novi homes, and it’s why a deep source-removal clean here isn’t the same job as it is in a 1970s ranch in Livonia.
- Post-construction dust from the Grand River Avenue and Beck Road corridors. New commercial and residential building sites along these corridors generate fine particulate that finds its way into nearby homes. If your home sits within a half-mile of active construction, that dust settles inside return ducts and gets pulled into the blower. We see it as a recurring service pattern in Novi, and we address the ongoing infiltration, not just the visible layer.

FAQs - HVAC Cleaning in Novi
We don’t skip branches. On a four- or five-zone colonial, our technicians scope every supply run and every return drop before cleaning begins, then we work the system zone by zone using negative-pressure extraction rather than just pushing air through the trunk line. The camera shows us exactly where the debris sits - typically at the far end of second-floor bedroom runs and at the elbow transitions in the basement - and we verify the result with photos of every run after the work is done. If a specific branch is too long for standard agitation, we adjust the scope and tell you before we start. Call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll talk through your floor plan.
Yes, every time. We run a camera inspection as a standard part of any HVAC cleaning in Novi, and that inspection specifically looks for crushed flex runs, disconnected return drops, and gaps at the plenum connections. On one 3,200 sq ft colonial off Beck Road, our crew found that the original flex ducts serving a bonus room had been crushed during a past renovation - the room was barely getting airflow, and no previous cleaning company had ever looked. We source-removed the debris with our Rotobrush and agitation tools, then sealed the disconnected return drop, bringing static pressure back to spec. If we find damage, we photograph it, show you, and give you a separate written price for the repair before any work continues. The repair is optional. You decide. Call (806) 606-6902 to schedule an inspection.
Because a 20-year-old evaporator coil in a Novi colonial has been collecting the same drywall dust and pet dander since the Clinton administration, and that caked layer is the single biggest airflow restriction in the whole system. Once the coil is caked, the furnace overheats and the AC freezes up, and no amount of filter changes fixes it. A clean coil restores the temperature drop across the system and takes strain off the compressor. In a home where the coil has never been cleaned, the before and after photos we deliver will show you exactly what was blocking your air. Evaporator coil cleaning in Novi runs $150-$300, and it’s part of most full-system cleaning scopes. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written number.
Yes, and we see it regularly. The ongoing commercial and residential construction along the Grand River Avenue and Beck Road corridors produces fine particulate that drifts well beyond the fenceline. When your furnace pulls return air from a vent near a frequently opened door or window, that dust enters the return side of the system and settles inside the ductwork - often mistaken for normal household accumulation. The difference is the particle size and the rate of buildup. If your home sits within half a mile of active construction, You need more frequent filter changes and an annual check of the return ducts, and that’s exactly the kind of thing our camera inspection will show you. Call (806) 606-6902 to schedule.
Air handler cleaning means we remove the blower assembly, clean every blade, vacuum the housing, wash the condensate pan, and treat the drain line. The blower wheel is the only component that actively moves air through the entire system, and in a 3,500-4,500 sq ft Novi home, that wheel is the bottleneck for every zone. A dirty blower wheel delivers less air to every register, which is why the upstairs bedrooms in a big colonial always feel stale and the basement feels cold - the system can’t move enough air to balance. Air handler cleaning in Novi runs $200-$400, and we photograph the wheel before and after so you can see the difference between a wheel that was actually cleaned and one that got a quick brush. Call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll give you a written price before we touch anything.
