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 West Hollywood
Air duct cleaning in West Hollywood means working on homes built between 1950 and 1975, most of them concrete-block ranch houses on slab foundations with all ductwork running through a hot attic. That’s what we do at CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning. A typical residential cleaning here runs $450-$850 for a full system, and we give you that number in writing before a single panel comes off. Call (806) 606-6902 and you’ll get a live person, a straight answer, and a crew that knows exactly what a 1961 ranch on Wiley Street looks like inside its ductwork.
Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Is West Hollywood’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
We didn’t start yesterday. CleanRun has been cleaning ducts since 2013, and in that time our technicians have opened more attic hatches in West Hollywood than we can count. What we find inside these homes is consistent: original duct board shedding fiberglass, flex duct crushed under its own weight, and condensation-fed mold that returns every humid summer unless the moisture source is addressed. Our crews don’t just vacuum. They document. Every run gets photographed before and after, and you get that photo record as part of the job file. That’s not a premium add-on. It’s how we’ve worked since the first job.
West Hollywood falls under Broward County jurisdiction, which means no municipal code mandates duct inspections. Homeowners here have to police their own air systems. Many haven’t had a professional cleaning since the day the ducts were installed. Our team knows the local housing stock down to the block level, from the ranches off Wiley Street to the later builds near Taft Street and North 56th Avenue. When you call, we can talk specifics about your roof pitch, your attic access point, and what your particular floor plan likely has running above the ceiling. Call (806) 606-6902 and ask for Tomas Reyes. He’s the owner, and he answers the phone.
Our Air Duct Cleaning Services in West Hollywood
Residential Duct Cleaning
The core of what we do in West Hollywood. A full residential cleaning covers every supply and return run, the plenum (the main distribution box), and each register (the grille where air enters the room). In a 3-bedroom ranch, expect 4-6 hours on site. We run negative-pressure extraction with HEPA filtration, meaning the dust and debris pulled from your ducts goes into our equipment, not back into your living room. Written price first. Photo record after. That’s the deal every time.
Full System Cleaning
In West Hollywood’s humid climate, half-measures don’t hold up. A full system clean includes the supply side, return side, plenum, blower compartment, and coil if accessible. Why does the coil matter? Because a coil caked with biofilm reintroduces the same microbial load into freshly cleaned ducts within days. Older ranch homes here often have the evaporator coil mounted in a closet or attic, and years of continuous AC runtime leave it coated. We clean it, photograph it, and show you the image. The coil is where the real air quality problem lives in this climate.
Video Inspection
Before any cleaning starts in West Hollywood, we scope the ducts with a camera. This isn’t a sales gimmick. In these older homes, we regularly find crushed flex runs, disconnected joints, and inner liner collapses that a standard cleaning would miss or make worse. The camera shows us the actual condition of the duct wall, how deep the debris sits, and whether cleaning alone will solve the problem or whether a section needs sealing or replacement. You see the footage too. You decide with real information, not a technician’s opinion. That’s the difference between CleanRun and a shop-vac operation with a coupon.
Return Duct Cleaning
The return side is the neglected half of most West Hollywood systems. In slab-on-grade ranches, return air often travels through panned joist cavities or wall cavities lined with old duct board. These cavities collect decades of dust, pet hair, and skin cells. When the return side is restricted, the AC works harder and pulls negative pressure, drawing in attic air through any gap in the ductwork. That attic air at 140°F carries fiberglass particles and whatever else is up there directly into your bedroom. We clean returns separately and thoroughly, and we seal any gaps we find. Airflow improves. The system stops fighting itself.

BeforeAfterTrusted Brands We Service in West Hollywood
We work on systems built by every major manufacturer, and we keep parts on hand for the brands most common in West Hollywood homes. That includes Honeywell filtration components, Aprilaire media cabinets, and Abatement Technologies negative-air equipment used on the cleaning side. If your Aprilaire filter housing is cracked or your Honeywell bypass damper isn’t sealing, we can often replace the part same-day instead of ordering and returning a week later. When we can’t, we tell you that plainly and give you a written timeline. No improvisation. No substitution without your written approval. That’s Haven Standard Clause 4: documented, verifiable work.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in West Hollywood Homes
- Collapsed flex duct in the attic. The foil-backed flex duct used in 1950s-70s West Hollywood ranches turns brittle after repeated expansion cycles in attics that hit 150°F. We find kinked, torn, and completely flattened runs on most jobs. The result is one bedroom that never cools, while the rest of the house freezes.
- Mold-saturated duct board. Original fibrous duct board absorbs condensation like a sponge in South Florida’s 75% year-round humidity. Once the inner liner delaminates, the fiberglass sheds into the airstream and mold takes hold inside the insulation. Cleaning pulls out the visible debris. Sealing the interior surfaces is what keeps it from returning.
- Disconnected runs and dead zones. Thermal expansion and poor original installation cause duct joints to separate. Air that should reach the back bedrooms dumps into the attic instead. Our camera finds these fast. In some West Hollywood homes, we’ve found entire branch runs hanging loose, blowing conditioned air into open attic space for years.
- Biological growth from continuous AC runtime. These homes run their systems nearly every month. The coils never dry out. The duct interior never dries out. That’s not a seasonal annoyance here. It’s the baseline condition. Our HEPA-filtered negative pressure extracts the growth, and then we treat the source of the moisture so it doesn’t re-establish in six weeks.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in West Hollywood, CA
Here are real numbers for this market. A full residential cleaning in West Hollywood runs $450-$850 depending on the home’s square footage and how many runs the system has. A condo or small two-bedroom sits at the lower end, around $400-$550. A larger 1970s ranch with multiple return drops and a long attic run sits at the upper end, $700-$850. Video inspection is included. If we find a collapsed section that needs sealing or replacement, we give you that quote separately and in writing before any additional work starts. You approve the number before we do the work. That’s Haven Standard Clause 1: written price before any work starts. No per-vent pricing. No teaser coupon that becomes a different invoice. One flat price per system, agreed before the truck pulls up. Call (806) 606-6902.

FAQs - Air Duct Cleaning in West Hollywood
West Hollywood’s unincorporated status means Broward County inspection schedules apply, and those schedules don’t require duct cleaning at any interval. So the responsibility falls entirely on the homeowner. Given the continuous AC runtime and 75% average humidity, we recommend a camera inspection every two years and a full cleaning every three to five years, more often if you have pets, recent renovations, or anyone in the home with respiratory conditions. A camera inspection costs less than a full cleaning and tells you exactly where you stand. Call (806) 606-6902 to schedule one.
Because all ductwork runs through unconditioned attic space with no basement or crawlspace alternative, and that attic hits 150°F every summer while the inside of the duct carries 55°F air. The temperature differential creates condensation on the duct surface, and in South Florida’s humidity, that moisture never fully evaporates. Newer communities often route ducts through conditioned space or use better-insulated materials. The original flex duct and duct board in West Hollywood ranches were simply not designed for this climate’s moisture load. That’s why we emphasize sealing as much as cleaning here. For exact pricing on your home, call (806) 606-6902.
Yes, in most cases. We use soft-bristle agitation and HEPA-filtered negative pressure to remove debris without tearing the duct board’s interior surface. But there’s a condition. If the inner liner has already delaminated and is shedding fiberglass, cleaning alone won’t stop the shedding. That duct section needs sealing or replacement. Our camera inspection shows you the difference clearly. We won’t sell you a cleaning that won’t hold up, and we won’t replace duct that doesn’t need replacing. The photo record tells the story. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written assessment.
Almost certainly. In West Hollywood’s older ranches, weak airflow in one room usually means a kinked, crushed, or disconnected flex run in the attic. The rest of the system compensates, so other rooms overcool while the affected room stays humid and stale. Homeowners often blame the AC compressor, but our camera scopes the duct run and finds the real problem fast. In one 1961 ranch near Wiley Street, our tech found a supply run kinked completely closed at a bend. After removing the debris with negative pressure and agitation tools, we sealed and re-routed the line. The back bedroom finally got airflow after years of complaints. Your home may have the same issue. Call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll check it.
We ask that you turn the system off during the cleaning. It’s a simple safety measure. The negative-pressure equipment we use pulls air through the duct system, and running the AC at the same time creates conflicting airflow that reduces cleaning effectiveness and can pull loosened debris back into the blower motor. The system stays off for the duration of the job, typically four to six hours, and we turn it back on when we’re done. Your house will get warm during that window here in South Florida, so schedule accordingly. Call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll help you pick a time that works.
