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 Woodland Hills
Air duct cleaning in Woodland Hills typically costs $385-$690 for a single-system home and $620-$1,150 for a house with two or three air handlers, with most jobs completed in one day. The extreme heat here changes the math: Woodland Hills attics routinely hit 150°F during summer, which means flex duct liners degrade faster and shed more material into your air than nearly anywhere else in Los Angeles County. CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning photographs the inside of every duct run before and after, hands you a written price before a single panel comes off, and backs the work with a 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. Call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll schedule a crew that works Woodland Hills every week.
Key Takeaways
- Whole-system duct cleaning in Woodland Hills runs $385-$1,150 depending on system count and run length, not per vent.
- Woodland Hills is the hottest recorded pocket of LA County; attic duct runs bake at 150°F+, degrading flex liners and shedding particulates faster than coastal areas.
- Post-Woolsey Fire residue is still found in return ducts across Woodland Hills, including hillside streets near Mulholland Drive.
- You get a written price before work starts and a documented photo record of every run when the job is done – standard on every CleanRun visit since 2013.
Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Is Woodland Hills’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
Homeowners in Woodland Hills call us because the work we do is visible long before you decide to hire us. We quote one flat price per system in writing – Haven Standard Clause 1 – and we don’t budge from it once the van pulls up. That matters on the larger properties around Woodland Hills Country Club and the custom homes south of Ventura Boulevard, where a single house might run three separate air handlers and 20-plus duct runs. A per-vent or “from $79” quote on that kind of system is meaningless. Ours is a number that covers the job, in writing, before the first register comes off.
We’ve served over 52,000 homes since Tomas Reyes founded CleanRun in 2013. That’s 52,000 written prices, 52,000 before-and-after photo records, and 52,000 systems where the homeowner could verify the work with their own eyes. Our techs are background-checked, uniformed, and identified by name before arrival under Haven Standard Clause 3: Verified Crews. And every job – including every one in Woodland Hills – carries the 365-Day Done Right Promise: if it’s not right, we make it right. In writing, not as a marketing line.

Residential Duct Cleaning
The older ranch-style tract homes that make up so much of Woodland Hills – built from the mid-1950s through the 1970s – nearly always have attic-run flex duct systems. Those runs bake all summer long. We clean every supply and return run using negative-pressure extraction, which means a HEPA-filtered vacuum pulls debris out while agitation tools dislodge what’s stuck to the duct walls. We don’t skip the return side. That’s where the worst contamination hides in this area.
Commercial Duct Cleaning
Offices, retail spaces, and medical suites along Ventura Boulevard and around the Warner Center office towers all run commercial HVAC systems that need a different approach than a three-bedroom ranch. We schedule around your operating hours, map every duct run before we start, and return the system to full airflow with the same documented photo record we provide on residential jobs. A commercial duct cleaning in Woodland Hills takes longer and costs more than residential – the systems are bigger and the runs are longer – but the price is still written before work begins.
Supply Duct Cleaning
Supply ducts in Woodland Hills move conditioned air from the air handler to your registers. In homes that run AC for five or six months straight – which is most of the valley floor and the hillside streets above it – these ducts collect a fine layer of dust, fiberglass shedding, and whatever the Santa Anas push through the filter. We clean the full supply side, including the plenum, with agitation tools on every run, not just the first few feet from the register.
Return Duct Cleaning
This is where the Woolsey Fire left its fingerprint. Return ducts pull air back to the air handler, and in Woodland Hills – especially on streets east of Topanga Canyon and north toward the Simi Hills – that return air carried smoke and ash for weeks in late 2018. A gray-black layer, sometimes a quarter-inch thick at the first elbow, still sits in return ducts that have never been professionally cleaned. We open the return runs, agitate, extract, and then show you the after photo so you know it’s actually gone.

Trusted Brands We Service in Woodland Hills
We service duct systems attached to Honeywell and Aprilaire equipment regularly, and our extraction hardware comes from Abatement Technologies – a brand you can look up independently and verify is professional-grade, not a modified shop vac. What that means for a Woodland Hills homeowner is simple: we’re running the same equipment on your system that commercial remediation crews use, and we’re doing it with a written scope of work and a fixed price. No secrets, no equipment you can’t verify. If your air handler is a Guardsman unit or carries Guardsman filtration, we work on those too.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Woodland Hills Homes
- Woolsey Fire ash in return ducts. On post-2018 calls – especially along Mulholland Drive and hillside streets bordering West Hills – we still find a gray-black ash layer inside return duct runs. Standard filter changes never touched it. A deep clean with agitation and HEPA extraction is the only way to remove it.
- Baked and degraded flex duct liners. Attic temperatures in Woodland Hills cross 150°F in summer. Flex duct liners break down faster here than in any coastal LA community. The liner sheds fine fibers into the air stream, and we see it on video inspection in homes as new as 15 years old.
- Multi-zone systems cleaned partially. The 1980s and 90s custom homes around Woodland Hills – some over 4,000 square feet with three air handlers – often have long, complex duct runs. Cut-rate crews quote a flat price and then clean only the shortest trunk line. We clean every branch and prove it with photos.
- Santa Ana dust loading in return air intakes. Wind events off the Simi Hills and Santa Susana foothills push fine dust, pollen, and ash directly into return-air intakes. Homes between Victory Boulevard and the 101 see it worst. Regular filter changes handle some of it; the duct interiors hold the rest.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Woodland Hills, CA
Here’s what an honest Woodland Hills duct cleaning costs. A single-system home – one air handler, typical 1970s three-bedroom ranch – runs $385-$520. A two-system house, common in the split-level and larger properties north of Ventura Boulevard, runs $550-$780. A larger custom or semi-custom home with three air handlers and longer attic runs runs $820-$1,150. These are per-system numbers, not per-vent games.
What affects the price: system count, total linear feet of duct run, access difficulty in low-clearance attics, and whether return ducts need heavy agitation for caked-on residue. We write the price before work starts. You approve it. Then we work. No “your ducts are worse than we thought” upcharges.

FAQs - Air Duct Cleaning in Woodland Hills
Yes – and the reason is visible the moment we run a camera into your return ducts. Standard HVAC filters, even MERV 11 or 13, never captured the fine ash and smoke particulates that Woolsey Fire pushed into homes across Woodland Hills in November 2018. That residue settled inside duct runs, where it has sat ever since, mixing each fall with Santa Ana dust off the Simi Hills. Changing a furnace filter handles what’s in the air at that moment; it does nothing for what’s adhered to the duct walls in an attic that hits 150°F all summer. We photograph the residue, remove it, and photograph the result. Call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll schedule a camera inspection first.
Because a single flat quote on a multi-air-handler house lets a crew clean the shortest trunk line and call it done. A 4,000-square-foot custom home off Valley Circle or south of the Boulevard can have 20-plus duct runs across three separate systems. Per-system pricing means each air handler and its entire run network gets a defined scope and a defined price, in writing, before work starts. You know exactly what you’re paying for and we know exactly what we’re accountable for. That’s the only way to price a Woodland Hills home with the duct complexity this area’s housing stock was built with.
Two ways. First, the heat itself – 150°F or more on a summer afternoon – means our techs work in segments and mind the temperature on the duct surfaces. We don’t overheat the system and we don’t rush a job that needs patience. Second, and more important: that heat has already been degrading your flex duct liners for years before we arrive. Fiberglass shedding and liner breakdown are common findings here, sometimes more than dust or ash. We handle the material gently and we video-inspect every run so you can see whether the liner is intact, shedding, or in need of repair or sealing.
It should show the interior of every duct run you paid to have cleaned – zero exceptions. Not just the trunk line, and not just the first few feet from each register. Every branch. The camera should show the duct walls free of the gray-black Woolsey residue, free of fiberglass shedding, and free of the dust pack that accumulates in attic-run systems. If a crew won’t show you the before and after footage, walk. Our standard job record includes a documented photo record of every run, delivered to you when the job is complete. It’s not an add-on and it’s never an upsell.
At minimum: a written scope of work before the job starts, a written price that does not change, and a photographic or video record of what was inside your ducts before and after. That’s the minimum. Without it, you’re paying for a service you can’t verify and trusting a crew you’ve probably never met. CleanRun has documented every job with photos since our first one in 2013. You won’t have to ask for it – it’s part of the job record we hand you when we’re done. If you have a competitor’s quote, bring it. We’ll put our number next to it in writing, free, under our Free Second Opinion policy.
