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 Hollywood
Air duct cleaning in Hollywood, FL typically costs between $425 and $1,150 for a full system on a single-family home, depending on the number of HVAC systems, duct run length, and whether post-fire ash remediation is needed. Most Hollywood jobs are completed in 4 to 8 hours, with a written price agreed upon before any panel comes off. If you’re in Hollywood and want to see photographic proof of what was actually inside your ducts, call CleanRun at (806) 606-6902. We’ve worked the hillside corridors off Beachwood Canyon and the flatland bungalow courts near downtown, and we know what Santa Ana wind events leave behind in ductwork here.
Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Serves Hollywood Differently
Since 2013, CleanRun has built a reputation in Hollywood on one practice: every job gets a written price before work starts, and every duct run gets photographed before and after. That matters more in Hollywood than in most cities, because the housing stock here makes visual verification the only honest way to know the work was done. A 1930s Spanish Colonial Revival bungalow off Franklin Avenue has the same duct layout as a 1950s duplex on the flats near the Hard Rock, but the debris inside each will look completely different. We document that difference for every Hollywood customer.
Hollywood homeowners research before they call. We see it in the questions: what exactly will you do, what does it cost, and how will I know it worked. The answers are not complicated. A written scope of work. A camera inspection before and after. A photo record delivered with the job file. Tomas Reyes, who runs our Hollywood-area crews, has walked hundreds of pre-1940s duct systems here and knows that original sheet-metal supply and return ducts in the neighborhoods around Young Circle and Emerald Hills often carry decades of layered debris that a quick vacuum pass will not remove. We clean for documentation, not for a billable hour.
Our crews operating in Hollywood are background-checked and uniformed under H.A.V.E.N. Standard Clause 3: Verified Crews. You’ll know the technician’s name before they arrive. You’ll know the price before the first panel comes off. And you’ll see the before-and-after record before we consider the job complete. That is the only arrangement that makes sense when the work is hidden inside walls you cannot see.
Our Air Duct Cleaning Services in Hollywood
Residential Duct Cleaning
Most Hollywood homes fall into one of two categories: pre-1950 construction with original sheet-metal ducts, or 1980s-and-newer builds with flex duct. The older systems, common in the bungalow courts and duplexes from Beachwood Canyon to South Hollywood, often have no insulation on the duct interiors, so cleaned metal is achievable and visible on camera. The newer flex duct in subdivisions near West Lake and Park Road typically shows dust caked onto the plastic liner where the spiral wire sits. Residential duct cleaning in Hollywood runs $425 to $850 for a single system home, with the price set before work begins under Haven Standard Clause 1.
We consistently find one pattern in Hollywood residences that flatland crews miss: return-side contamination. After a Santa Ana event drives ash into outdoor intakes, homeowners feel the supply registers blowing dusty air and assume that is the problem. The return side, which pulls air from inside the house, has often pulled in the same fine particulates through leaky return plenums. Cleaning only the supply side leaves the system re-contaminating itself within days. We clean both sides, every time, and photograph both.
Full System Cleaning
A full system clean in Hollywood means every supply run, every return run, the plenum, the air handler interior, and each register gets source removal, not just a brush pass. For larger hillside homes off Laurel Canyon Boulevard with unusually long, convoluted duct runs snaking through difficult attic spaces, full system cleaning takes longer and costs more, typically $650 to $1,150. The access time is real: a 4,000-square-foot Hollywood Hills custom home with three separate HVAC systems does not have the same labor profile as a 1,200-square-foot flatland bungalow. We quote per system, not per vent, so the written price reflects the actual work you need.
If your Hollywood home has multiple systems, do not accept a quote that does not break out each one. A three-system house where all three run full time accumulates debris at different rates depending on intake location, filter quality, and occupant load. We price each system separately and clean each one completely. The photo record we deliver includes every system, not just the one we can finish fastest.
Supply Duct Cleaning
Supply ducts are the runs that carry conditioned air from the air handler to your supply registers, and in Hollywood they collect specific debris profiles depending on your neighborhood. Homes off Hollywood Boulevard near the commercial corridors see more construction dust and diesel particulate. Hillside homes in Beachwood Canyon get the ash layer after Griffith Park brush fires, baked onto duct walls by hot, dry Santa Ana air moving through the intakes. Supply duct cleaning alone in Hollywood runs $250 to $450, but we rarely recommend it as a standalone service because supply-only cleaning leaves the return side carrying the same contaminant load.
Return Duct Cleaning
Return ducts pull air from the living space back to the air handler. In Hollywood’s 1920s and 1930s housing stock, many return systems are short, leaky, and severely undersized by modern standards. The leakage pulls unfiltered air from wall cavities and crawl spaces directly into the return side before it ever reaches the filter. Return duct cleaning in Hollywood runs $200 to $400 for a typical single-system home. We combine it with supply cleaning whenever possible, because cleaning one side without the other in a house with leaky returns is half a job.
Video Inspection
Before any cleaning begins in Hollywood, we run a camera through the duct interior. For older homes, this confirms whether the original duct wrap contains asbestos. For every home, it documents the exact condition before work starts. A video inspection in Hollywood costs $75 to $150 as a standalone service, but it is included as part of the documented photo record on every cleaning job. If a duct is severely crushed, separated at a joint, or inaccessible through normal access points, the camera tells us before we cause more damage trying to force a tool through. You cannot see inside your ducts. We can, and we show you.

BeforeAfterTrusted Brands We Service in Hollywood
CleanRun works on systems from every major manufacturer found in Hollywood homes, including package units and split systems paired with Honeywell filtration, Aprilaire air cleaners, and Guardsman maintenance components. Our crews stock common filter sizes and access-panel hardware for faster turnaround on Hollywood jobs, which means fewer return trips when a unit at a 1940s Hollywood duplex needs a non-standard filter housing. We do not sell equipment; we clean and maintain what is already installed, and we name the tools we use so you can verify them independently: Rotobrush agitation systems, Nikro negative-air machines, and Abatement Technologies HEPA filtration.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Hollywood Homes
Hollywood’s climate and housing stock produce a specific set of recurring duct problems. Here is what our crews document most often across the neighborhoods we serve from Beachwood Canyon down to the flats near North 17th Avenue:
- Post-brush-fire ash accumulation in hillside intakes. After a Griffith Park brush fire, the Santa Ana flow drives fine gray-black ash directly into rooftop package-unit intakes in Beachwood Canyon and Laurel Canyon. The ash bakes onto duct walls and settles in low points. Cleaning without a camera first means you never see whether it was actually removed.
- Asbestos-wrapped ducts on pre-1940s construction. Original sheet-metal ducts in Hollywood’s bungalow courts and Spanish Colonial Revival homes often have asbestos-containing wrap on the exterior. Testing before agitation is non-negotiable. A cleaner who skips this step and starts scrubbing can release friable fibers throughout the home.
- Cracked and shedding flex duct after Santa Ana low-humidity events. When relative humidity drops below 10 percent for days, older flex duct insulation dries out and begins shedding internally. We see this regularly across Hollywood after fall wind events, even in years with no wildfires. The debris collects in register boots and gets blown into living spaces.
- Return-side contamination on hillside lots with extended runs. Steep Hollywood Hills properties often have 40- to 60-foot return runs that flatland crews rush through. When return ducts are ignored or under-cleaned, the fine particulate drawn into the return side re-contaminates the supply side within days. We photograph both sides and document the return plenum condition on every Hollywood job.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Hollywood, FL
Honest Hollywood market pricing for air duct cleaning looks like this. A single-family home on the flats with one HVAC system runs $425 to $650 for full source removal on supply and return sides.

FAQs - Air Duct Cleaning in Hollywood
Within 2 to 4 weeks of a brush fire event, and before the next Santa Ana wind cycle if possible. The fine ash that enters rooftop intakes during a Griffith Park fire settles into low points in the duct runs where it will stay until physically removed. Waiting longer means the ash gets recirculated through the house each time the system runs, and the low-velocity zones deep in convoluted hillside runs get caked. True ash layers also bake harder with repeated heating cycles, making removal more labor-intensive. Call (806) 606-6902 and we will schedule a camera inspection first so you know exactly what is inside before any cleaning begins.
Yes, we visually inspect the duct wrap and, where the material is suspect, we arrange testing before any agitation begins. Asbestos-containing wrap was common on pre-1940s and 1940s duct systems, and a significant share of Hollywood’s bungalow court and Craftsman duplex housing stock still carries it. A cleaner who starts scrubbing without checking is risking friable fiber release throughout the home. We will not agitate a duct system that has not been cleared. If testing confirms asbestos, the cleaning protocol changes and we provide a written scope for what can be done safely versus what requires abatement. That answer is always in writing.
Because a three-system house is three separate cleaning jobs, and a single flat price means at least one of those systems is getting rushed or skipped. Hillside homes off Laurel Canyon and in the Beachwood Canyon corridor often have package units on the roof serving different floor levels, each with its own supply and return runs. The dirt load differs by system based on intake location and run length. We price each system separately under Haven Standard Clause 1, so you know exactly what each system costs and what was done inside each one. The photo record we deliver shows all three, not just the one we could finish fastest. For a larger Hollywood home, anything less is not full system cleaning. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written per-system price on your specific house.
You should expect a written scope of work, a before photo and an after photo of the interior of every duct run we access, and a written warranty that names the specific work performed. That is the standard we have held since our first job in 2013 and it is included on every Hollywood cleaning. The photo record is the only way to verify the work was actually done, and we deliver it without being asked. If a company cannot show you the inside of your ducts before and after, you have no evidence anything was removed. Our 365-Day Done Right Promise is written on every job file, not recited from a script. That is what documentation means, and it is the whole point of hiring a company that does not rely on a $79 coupon to get through your door.
Yes. Santa Ana wind events drive extremely low relative humidity into Hollywood, often below 10 percent for days, and that desiccates older duct board and flex-duct insulation. The material dries, cracks, and begins shedding fines into the air stream even when no fire is burning. The wind also carries heavy pollen and particulate loads from the mountain passes directly into outdoor HVAC intakes in hillside Hollywood neighborhoods. We see cracked and shedding flex duct documented on camera every fall across the Hollywood Hills, with zero wildfire events involved. If you notice a dusty film on registers or increased sneezing during wind season, a camera inspection will tell you whether the source is duct debris or something else. Call (806) 606-6902 to schedule one.
