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.

Nashville presents a specific combination of duct problems: high summer humidity, heavy cedar pollen every January through early March, and two very different housing stocks layered on top of each other. A 1960s ranch in Hermitage has different duct risks than a 2016 tall-and-skinny in Sylvan Park. We treat them differently, and we write down what we find.
Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Is Nashville’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
We have cleaned ducts in Nashville homes where other companies had already been paid once and left no record of the work. That is the industry problem we exist to solve. Every Air Duct Cleaning job we run in Nashville ends with a Documented Photo Record: the inside of every supply and return run, photographed before and after, delivered to you as part of the standard job record. Not a summary. Photographs.
The 365-Day Done Right Promise is in writing on every job. If the work is not right, we make it right. This is Haven Standard Clause 5, and it is not subject to manager approval. Tomas Reyes, who leads our Tennessee crews, is personally accountable for every job that rolls out under his name. When a Nashville homeowner calls and asks what we found in their ducts, the answer includes pictures, measurements, and a written scope of what we did about it.
We also put our price in writing before any work starts, every time, under Haven Standard Clause 1. That means no bait-and-switch, no per-vent pricing, and no surprise invoice after the truck is in the driveway. If you have another company’s written estimate, bring it. We will put our number next to it in writing. That is our Free Second Opinion, and it costs nothing.
Our Air Duct Cleaning Services in Nashville
Residential Duct Cleaning
A typical single-family home in Nashville runs $285 to $540 for a full-system cleaning, depending on the number of runs and the condition of the flex duct. Homes in Antioch and Madison with original 1950s sheet-metal trunk lines and partial flex replacement often come in at the higher end because the older material requires slower, lower-agitation work. We never rush brittle duct. We photograph every run before we touch it, then again when we are done.
Commercial Duct Cleaning
For offices, clinics, and retail spaces in Nashville, we quote by written scope per system, not by vague square-footage ranges. A small commercial space with one or two air handlers typically runs $600 to $1,200. A larger medical or dental office with multiple rooftop units and return plenums runs higher, and we document everything. If your building is in the Gulch or along West End, we can schedule crews around your hours, not ours.
Supply Duct Cleaning
Supply ducts are the runs that deliver conditioned air from the air handler out to your registers. In Nashville, supply ducts run through some of the most humid environments in the region: crawl spaces on the east side, unconditioned attics on newer builds. A supply-duct-only cleaning typically runs $180 to $320 in Nashville, and it includes camera inspection of the plenum and each branch run. If we find kinked flex duct or loose connections, we document it in writing and tell you whether cleaning alone will solve the problem.
Return Duct Cleaning
Return ducts pull air back from your living space into the air handler, and in Nashville they are ground zero for cedar pollen infiltration. From January through early March, Middle Tennessee’s Eastern red cedar barrens release enough pollen to coat return registers in visible yellow-green dust. A return-duct-focused cleaning runs $150 to $260 in most Nashville homes. Changing your filter regularly helps, but it does not stop pollen and fine dust from accumulating inside the return runs themselves. We clean them, then show you the before and after.

BeforeAfterTrusted Brands We Service in Nashville
We run professional-grade equipment from trade-recognized manufacturers, including Rotobrush. Customers in Nashville sometimes read online that “any vacuum will do.” We keep tooling designed for actual duct cleaning on the truck, and we service and maintain it on a documented schedule. If your system was installed with a Honeywell or Aprilaire filtration component, our techs understand how to clean the full run without damaging those connections. The point is simple: we bring equipment that can be looked up and verified, and we show our work.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Nashville Homes
- Post-flood moisture in crawl-space ducts. The May 2010 flood saturated crawl spaces across East Nashville and Lockeland Springs, and in some homes the ducts were never fully dried. Cleaning surface dust without verifying moisture levels lets mold regrow within weeks. We check moisture content with meters, and we put the readings in writing.
- Cedar pollen load in return trunks. Nashville sits in the heart of the Eastern red cedar barrens, and from January through early March, homes sealed tight against cold air are recirculating fine cedar particulate through return ducts at rates homeowners from the Midwest or Northeast have never seen. This pollen is small enough to coat the interior of return runs in a layer that standard filter changes cannot address.
- Cracked 1970s flex duct from over-aggressive cleaning. Agitation tools run too hard on brittle original flex duct cause tears. In Nashville’s humidity, a small tear turns into a condensation leak. We use lower-agitation methods on aged flex, and we always inspect with a camera first.
- Construction debris in tall-and-skinny infill townhomes. The 2010s building boom in East Nashville, The Nations, and Sylvan Park produced thousands of narrow vertical townhomes with builder-grade flex duct squeezed through tight chases. Drywall dust, sawdust, and pieces of construction wrap get trapped in kinked runs. Standard cleaning without camera inspection misses it.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Nashville, TN
Here are honest, written numbers for the Nashville market. A full-system cleaning in a typical 3-bedroom ranch in Donelson or Hermitage runs $285 to $440. A two-story home or a tall-and-skinny townhome with multiple vertical chases runs $400 to $600, because we are cleaning more runs and spending more time on camera inspection. Video inspection alone runs $95 to $150, and it is included free when you book a full cleaning. We never quote per vent, and we never use a low teaser coupon to get a foot in the door. The written price you approve is the price you pay. Call (806) 606-6902 for an exact written quote before any work starts.

FAQs - Air Duct Cleaning in Nashville
Cleaning is appropriate if the ducts are structurally sound and dry, with no evidence of interior mold colonization and moisture readings below about 16% wood-equivalent in the surrounding framing. Replacement is warranted when camera inspection shows interior liner deterioration, dark staining that does not lift with source removal, or moisture meters reading above 20% in the floor joists. We document all of it in writing, including the camera images and meter readings, so you are not guessing and neither is your insurer. Call (806) 606-6902 to schedule an inspection and get our written recommendation.
Yes, it does. Nashville’s cedar pollen season runs January through early March, and the pollen is fine enough to pass through or around most residential filters, especially the standard 1-inch fiberglass ones. The pollen also enters through return registers when doors open and close. Regular filter changes reduce the load, but they do not stop accumulation inside return duct runs. We photograph the before and after so you can see what was actually in there. Call (806) 606-6902 and we will show you.
Yes. We provide dated camera images of the interior of every duct run, moisture meter readings from the surrounding framing, and a written scope of what we recommend, whether that is cleaning or replacement. This documentation is included on every job, not as an add-on. If you are working with an adjuster in Nashville, the evidence package gives you something concrete to submit.
Because the ducts themselves may still hold moisture. Crawl-space drying addresses the space, but flex duct lying close to the soil can retain condensation inside the liner, especially in Nashville’s summer humidity. If the smell persists after drying, the likely cause is interior mold or mildew on the duct liner, and cleaning alone will not resolve it if the liner is saturated. We inspect with a camera and give you a written answer, not a guess.
Builder-grade flex duct in these homes is often routed through tight vertical chases with sharp bends that kink and trap construction debris, especially in units built during the 2010s boom in East Nashville, The Nations, and Sylvan Park. Cleaning these runs requires camera inspection first to identify kinks and debris pockets, then targeted extraction rather than aggressive agitation. We treat them differently, and we document each run individually.
If you need a real answer about your ducts in Nashville, not a coupon or a sales pitch, call CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning at (806) 606-6902. We will write down the price, photograph the work, and stand behind it in writing for a full year.
