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 Windsor
Air duct cleaning in Windsor, CT typically runs $480-$920 for a full residential system, with ranch homes on the older side of that range and larger colonials at the upper end. We serve every Windsor neighborhood from Poquonock to Wilson, with techs who know what 1960s trunk-and-branch ductwork looks like from the inside. You get a written price before any panel comes off, and a photo record of every duct run when we leave. Call (806) 606-6902 to get that number in writing.
Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Is Windsor’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
Windsor homeowners tend to research before they call. They’ve read about $79 duct cleaning specials and they know what those look like: a shop vac at one register, twenty minutes of noise, and a bill that somehow triples before the truck backs out. We work differently. Every job starts with a written price, under Haven Standard Clause 1. No exceptions, no “let me check with the manager,” no per-vent pricing games. The number we put in front of you is the number you pay.
Tomas Reyes has built CleanRun around documentation. Since 2013, we’ve served over 52,000 homes, and every one of them got two things in writing: a price before work started and a photo record of every duct run before and after. That record matters in Windsor, where a 1960s ranch in the Poquonock area hides things a visual inspection of the registers will never show. Our techs are background-checked, uniformed, and identified by name before they arrive. They use equipment from Honeywell, Abatement Technologies, and Guardsman - brands you can look up yourself before saying yes to anything.
We know Windsor’s housing stock. We know that a split-level off Palisado Avenue has a different duct layout than a colonial near Windsor Center, and that the river-bottom humidity along the Farmington River changes what grows inside those runs. That local knowledge is why our Air Duct Cleaning team does the job right the first time, and why our 365-Day Done Right Promise is written into every invoice.
Our Air Duct Cleaning Services in Windsor
Residential Duct Cleaning
Most Windsor homes we clean are ranches and split-levels built between 1955 and 1975. These systems have original sheet metal trunk lines with branch runs that were never designed for easy access. We use negative-pressure extraction - meaning the system pulls air through HEPA filtration while we agitate debris from each run, so whatever comes loose goes straight into containment, not back into your living room. A standard three-bedroom ranch in Windsor usually takes four to six hours.
Commercial Duct Cleaning
Windsor has a mix of office parks along Day Hill Road, medical buildings near the center, and retail spaces that need systems cleaned without disrupting business hours. We schedule commercial work in Windsor around your operation, not the other way around. The price is still written before work starts, and the photo record still covers every run. No commercial client has ever gotten a smaller deliverable than a residential one.
Supply Duct Cleaning
Supply ducts carry conditioned air into your rooms, and in Windsor’s older homes they’re often the most contaminated part of the system. Fiberglass liner from the 1960s breaks down over decades, shedding particles that blow into bedrooms and kitchens. We focus supply-side cleaning on removing that degraded material and identifying runs where the liner needs sealing or replacement - because cleaning alone won’t stop fiberglass from shedding.
Return Duct Cleaning
Return ducts pull air back to the furnace, and in Windsor they frequently pull from basements with elevated humidity. That means whatever is in your basement air - mold spores, dust, crawlspace particulate - concentrates in the return plenum. We clean return runs down to the plenum, then document the condition with a camera before and after. If the return side is pulling unfiltered air from a crawlspace, we’ll show you that on video and tell you what it costs to fix.
Full System Cleaning & Video Inspection
For Windsor homes built before 1980, we recommend a full system cleaning paired with video inspection. The camera goes into the plenum, down the trunk, and through the branch runs. You’ll see exactly what’s in there - a 3-inch debris build-up at the first elbow, a separated flex connector, a collapsed return run. Then we clean it and show you the after footage. This is the documentation that proves the work, and it’s included on every visit as a standard deliverable.

BeforeAfterTrusted Brands We Service in Windsor
We work on systems equipped with Honeywell air cleaners, Aprilaire media filters, and Guardsman filtration components. These are common in Windsor’s mid-century homes, where filtration was often undersized for the system. We stock replacement media and filter housings for these brands, which means we can often correct filtration deficiencies during the same visit. When we find an Aprilaire filter cabinet that’s been bypassing air because the media collapsed, we can fix it on the spot rather than scheduling a second trip.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Windsor Homes
- Separated flex-duct connectors on 1960s-70s systems. The damp basement conditions near the Farmington River accelerate connector degradation. On a ranch in the Poquonock area, our techs found flex connectors at the trunk had collapsed entirely - supply branches had been drawing unfiltered crawlspace air for years. We restored the connections and sealed the runs to NADCA standards.
- Degraded fiberglass duct liner shedding into the airstream. Original trunk-and-branch systems in Windsor’s 50-60-year-old ranches and split-levels often have liner that breaks down with age and moisture. Cleaning removes loose particles, but sealing or replacing the liner is the fix that stops recontamination within months.
- Mold reservoirs in basement duct runs near the floodplain. Homes in the Farmington River floodplain carry persistent basement humidity into forced-air systems. A cleaning-only job fails when ducts are re-exposed to that moisture. We identify the source and give you a written scope for both the cleaning and the moisture correction.
- Unbalanced supply and return flows in retrofitted Windsor Center homes. Pre-WWII colonials and capes retrofitted with forced air rarely conform to modern sizing. Even after thorough cleaning, unbalanced flows pull unfiltered air from basements and crawlspaces. Video inspection shows you exactly where the imbalance is, and we quote the correction in writing.

Here are honest numbers for the Windsor market. A full residential system in a 1,200-1,800 sq ft ranch runs $480-$650. Split-levels and larger colonials run $600-$920.

FAQs - Air Duct Cleaning in Windsor
Windsor sits at the confluence of the Connecticut and Farmington Rivers, which creates a persistently humid microclimate relative to inland Hartford County towns like Bloomfield or East Granby. That humidity accelerates mold and microbial growth inside ductwork. Add the moisture-retentive soil from converted tobacco farmland under many Windsor subdivisions, and basement humidity gets pulled directly into forced-air systems. The result is a mold-friendly environment that most neighboring towns simply don’t experience at the same level. If you suspect mold in your ducts, call (806) 606-6902 for a video inspection and written findings.
Expect original trunk-and-branch sheet metal ductwork with degrading fiberglass liner, flex-duct connectors that have collapsed or separated at the trunk, and possible disconnection at branch runs. These systems are now 50-60+ years old, and Windsor’s damp basements accelerate the deterioration. Video inspection typically reveals the exact failures - often including supply branches that have been pulling unfiltered air from crawlspaces for years. Cleaning is the first step; sealing and connector replacement are often the real fix.
Yes. Windsor was the historic core of Connecticut Valley shade-grown tobacco production, and many residential subdivisions were built directly on converted tobacco farmland. That soil is organically rich and moisture-retentive, which drives elevated basement humidity into forced-air systems. The dampness migrates into duct runs and creates conditions for mold and biological growth that inland towns don’t face. If your home sits on converted farmland, a one-time cleaning without addressing the moisture source may not hold.
For most Windsor homes, every 3-5 years is the right interval. Homes in the Farmington River floodplain or on converted tobacco farmland may need cleaning every 2-3 years because of persistent moisture and faster microbial growth. If you’ve recently renovated, have pets, or notice dust accumulating quickly after cleaning, the interval shortens. We’ll give you an honest recommendation based on what the camera shows, not on a fixed schedule that generates repeat visits.
Because Windsor’s housing stock hides failures that no visual register inspection can reveal. Separated flex connectors, collapsed return runs, broken fiberglass liner, and disconnected branches are all common in this town’s 50-60-year-old systems, and none of them are visible from the living room. Video inspection documents every run before and after cleaning, so you know exactly what was found and what was done. It’s included as a standard deliverable on every CleanRun job in Windsor.
Call (806) 606-6902 to get a written price for air duct cleaning in Windsor, CT. Tomas Reyes and the CleanRun team will give you a number before any work starts, and a photo record of every duct run when the job is done. That’s how it should work.
