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 Air Duct Cleaning Across Florence
Air duct cleaning in Florence, KY typically runs $450-$900 for a full single-system home, depending on the number of vents, the age of the duct material, and what our camera inspection finds before we start. That written price is agreed before a single panel comes off, and it includes something most companies in Boone County don’t offer: a documented photo record of every duct run, taken before and after, delivered to you as part of the job file. If you’re reading this from a split-level off Hopeful Church Road or a ranch off Dixie Highway, you already know the two forces working against your ductwork: diesel soot from the I-71/75 corridor and Ohio Valley humidity that never quite leaves your crawl space. We’re CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning, and we’ve built our entire process in Florence around showing you exactly what’s inside your ducts before we clean them, and exactly what they look like when we leave. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written estimate. Every call is answered by a live person.
Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Is Florence’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
Florence homeowners don’t need another company selling a $79 special. They need someone who can explain why the supply registers in a 1980s split-level off Turfway Road turn black twice as fast as the same registers in a newer subdivision off Plantation Drive. That explanation starts with the I-75 corridor: diesel particulate settles in supply runs near exterior walls, and the Ohio River valley’s humidity binds it to the duct surface. Our techs document that pattern with a camera before recommending anything. Tomas Reyes, who leads our crews serving Florence, has walked enough of these older Boone County crawl spaces to know what he’ll find before he opens the access panel: degenerating duct board, disconnected return couplings, or flex duct crushed under twenty years of settling. We don’t guess. We photograph, we price in writing, and we clean to source-removal standards using Rotobrush and Abatement Technologies equipment. Our Air Duct Cleaning process was established in 2013, and every job since has ended with a photo record and a written 365-Day Done Right Promise. If it’s not right, we make it right. That’s in writing, every time, under Haven Standard Clause 1: written price before any work starts.
Our Air Duct Cleaning Services in Florence
Residential Duct Cleaning
Most Florence homes we clean fall into two groups: the 1970s-1990s ranch and split-level stock along routes like Hopeful Church Road and Tamarack Drive, and the 2000s-era subdivisions built during the last construction surge. The older homes typically carry original duct board or early flex duct, much of it now degrading. The newer homes carry a different problem: post-construction drywall dust packed into supply runs that the builder’s final clean never reached. A residential whole-system clean in Florence runs $450-$800 for an average 1,800-2,400 sq ft home. We remove the registers, run negative-pressure extraction from the trunk line outward, and photograph the inside of each run before and after. You see the difference. We don’t ask you to take our word for it.
Commercial Duct Cleaning
Florence’s commercial core along Dixie Highway and the industrial parks near the I-75 interchange runs a lot of hours, and those systems pull in the same diesel particulate load as the residential side. Restaurants, medical offices, and retail spaces in Florence typically quote between $900 and $2,800 depending on square footage and duct configuration. The commercial standard we follow is the same as residential: written price, camera inspection first, photo record at the end. No per-vent pricing games, no upcharge after the van arrives. The price we write is the price you approve, and it’s the price you pay.
Supply Duct Cleaning
This is where Florence’s I-71/75 location shows up most aggressively. Supply ducts push air out, and in Florence they push it out through registers that sit closest to exterior walls on the highway side of the home. Diesel soot concentrates there. We see supply runs off 71/75-adjacent homes with visible darkening inside the duct within 36 months of the last clean. A supply-side-only cleaning in Florence typically runs $250-$400 and includes camera verification of each run from plenum to register. If we find a crushed or separated section, we report it with photos and a written repair/replacement price before touching it. Haven Standard Clause 4: nothing hidden, nothing discovered later that should have been found earlier.
Return Duct Cleaning
Return ducts in Florence’s older Boone County homes have a specific failure mode: disconnected couplings in crawl-space sections. The return side runs under the floor, through the crawl space, and the couplings pull apart over decades of settling and humidity cycles. Once separated, the system draws humid, unfiltered crawl-space air directly into your air handler. Cleaning a disconnected return is pointless without reconnecting and sealing it first. That’s why our return duct cleaning in Florence always starts with a camera inspection of the full return path, not just the visible register. A return-only clean runs $200-$350; if we find separations, you get a written repair price on the spot, and you decide.

BeforeAfterTrusted Brands We Service in Florence
We service and clean duct systems tied to all major HVAC equipment brands common in Florence homes, and our techs work regularly alongside Honeywell and Aprilaire components. We don’t push equipment you don’t need, but when we identify a filtration or media issue during a clean, we’ll show you the camera footage first and give you a written price for any replacement part using Guardsman or Aprilaire products. Our techs carry common replacement filters and sealants so a single visit to a Florence home on Dixie Highway can often resolve the issue without a second trip.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Florence Homes
- Diesel soot darkening supply registers years ahead of schedule. Florence sits directly on the I-71/75 diesel-freight corridor. Homes closest to the interchange, especially those along Hopeful Church Road and the neighborhoods west of 75, show register darkening that would take a decade in Union or Independence. Source-removal cleaning with HEPA filtration is the only way to strip that particulate from the duct surface.
- Crumbled duct board in 1970s-1990s ranch homes. Original duct board absorbs Ohio River valley humidity year after year. When we agitate it during cleaning, it often begins to crumble, leaving fiberglass particles in the system. In many Florence homes, the correct order of work is replace the duct board first, then clean. We don’t clean failing material and call it done.
- Disconnected return couplings in crawl-space sections. Boone County’s older ranches and split-levels run return ducts through crawl spaces that see standing humidity in summer. The couplings separate, the system pulls moist crawl air, and you get that musty smell no air freshener fixes. Cleaning alone won’t stop it. The coupling has to be reconnected and sealed.
- Post-construction drywall dust in 2000s subdivision homes. The building surge that gave Florence subdivisions like Plantation Pointe and the Oakbrook area also left supply runs full of drywall dust that the builder’s cleanup didn’t touch. We remove it with negative-pressure extraction and photo-document every run before and after.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Florence, KY
Here’s what Florence homeowners can expect to pay, in writing, before work begins. A full single-system residential clean runs $450-$800 for a typical ranch or split-level home. Larger two-story homes or homes with extensive crawl-space ducting run $700-$1,100. A supply-only clean runs $250-$400, return-only $200-$350, and video inspection alone runs $150-$250 if you want a documented look before deciding. Commercial spaces in Florence range from $900-$2,800. What changes the price? The number of duct runs, the duct material (flex duct costs more to clean carefully than rigid sheet metal), and whether we find disconnected sections that need sealing before cleaning. That last item is the one that surprises people. But here’s the difference: we show you the camera footage, give you a written price for the repair, and you approve it. No one discovers a new charge when the invoice arrives. Haven Standard Clause 1 is not a marketing line. It’s the process.

FAQs - Air Duct Cleaning in Florence
Florence sits directly on the I-71/75 corridor, one of the heaviest diesel-freight routes in the United States. Fine particulate from truck exhaust settles inside supply ducts, especially runs nearest exterior walls on the highway side of the home. Lexington doesn’t carry that load. In Florence, we routinely see supply runs darken within three years of a previous clean. The fix is source-removal cleaning with HEPA-filtered negative-pressure extraction, and photography of the inside of the duct before and after so there’s a documented baseline. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written estimate specific to your home’s location relative to the corridor.
Only if the cleaning is paired with sealing work. The musty smell in older Boone County ranch homes usually traces to return ducts that have disconnected at the couplings in the crawl space. When that happens, the system pulls humid, unfiltered crawl-space air directly into the supply side. Cleaning without reconnecting and sealing the coupling just pulls more moisture through. We camera-inspect the full return path first, show you the separation, and give you a written price for the repair and the clean as one scope. The smell goes away when the moisture source is sealed.
It usually means the cleaning changed the static pressure inside the duct system, often because a previous cleaning removed debris that was partially blocking a run, or because a section of flex duct was left disconnected or kinked. In Florence homes with original flex duct, it can also mean a section was already crushed and the increased airflow is now whistling through the restriction. We address this by camera-inspecting the full system after every clean, identifying the pressure change, and giving you a written repair price if needed. You should never leave a louder system as-is; the duct work is telling you something changed.
Every 3-4 years, not the 5-7 years often quoted for homes in less contaminated corridors. Florence’s combination of diesel particulate from I-71/75 and Ohio Valley humidity accelerates soot deposition and microbial growth inside ductwork. Homes within a half-mile of the interchange, especially along routes like Hopeful Church Road, show meaningful register darkening in as little as 36 months. We recommend camera inspection at the 3-year mark and a source-removal clean when the footage shows particulate build-up, not on a fixed calendar. The footage is your documentation either way.
Yes, and it’s one of the most common jobs we do in Florence’s 2000s-era subdivisions like Plantation Pointe and Oakbrook. The drywall dust sits in the supply runs, often near the plenum connection, and the builder’s final clean rarely reaches it. Negative-pressure extraction with HEPA filtration removes it. We photograph each supply run before and after, and the price for a full-system clean runs $450-$800 for a typical newer home. The dust doesn’t come back after a proper source-removal clean. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written estimate.
