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.

AfterLennox Air Duct Cleaning in Brooklyn, NY | CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning
We clean and repair ductwork for Lennox forced-air systems across Brooklyn, from Park Slope brownstones to Williamsburg loft conversions, with HVAC Cleaning in Brooklyn that treats each system by its actual condition. We’re an independent service provider, not a Lennox dealer or authorized affiliate, and the difference matters: we’re not here to sell you a new system. We’re here to document what’s inside your ducts and clean them properly. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written inspection scope before any work starts.
Why Brooklyn Residents Choose Us for Lennox Service
Most Manhattan Lennox service providers treat a system like any other box of sheet metal. That’s a mistake, especially in Brooklyn, where housing stock ranges from 1880s brownstones to converted factory buildings. Our technicians work on Lennox Elite, Signature, and Merit systems every week. We know how a variable-speed blower in an SLP98V responds when a slim-duct retrofit starves it for return air. We know what a factory duct from 1920 does to a modern XC25 coil. And we know how to photograph all of it before and after, so you’re not taking anyone’s word for anything.
Tomas Reyes, our owner and lead technician, grew up in Woodside near the 7 train and did his HVAC coursework at Queensborough Community College before spending years on residential and commercial duct systems across all five boroughs. The photo tells you what’s in there. Everything else is just paperwork.

Common Lennox Air Duct Cleaning Problems We Solve in Brooklyn
- Salt-laden evaporator coil buildup in Brighton Beach and Sheepshead Bay. Ocean humidity carrying salt settles on Lennox coils and inside duct runs. Efficiency drops, humidity retention climbs, and your system works harder than the SEER rating suggests. We clean supply and return ducts along with the coil, then photograph the result. It’s the only way to verify what was removed.
- Condensate drain clogs in 90%+ AFUE Lennox furnaces after brownstone retrofits. When an SLP98V or EL296V goes into a Park Slope or Bed-Stuy brownstone, drywall dust from the renovation settles in the condensate line and the duct runs. That triggers pressure switch lockouts. The furnace shuts down. We clean the full run, clear the drain path, and document the obstruction.
- Variable-speed blower overheating in NYCHA towers and co-ops. Post-war buildings often have slim-duct retrofits with undersized returns. When filters clog, the blower motor in a Lennox Signature or Elite system runs hot and airflow becomes intermittent. We clean the ducts and measure static pressure before and after. If the number stays high, we tell you the ductwork itself is the problem, not the cleaning.
- Industrial particulate abrasion in Williamsburg and Bushwick loft ducts. Repurposed factory ventilation systems carry decades of metal shavings, solvent residue, and oily dust. That material scours Lennox fan blades and coils. You hear a high-pitched whine under load. Standard residential cleaning protocols don’t address this contamination profile. Ours does, and we inspect blade condition as part of the job.
- Century-old building dust in pre-war brownstone retrofits. When central air gets added to an 1890s row house in Carroll Gardens or Crown Heights, a hundred years of plaster dust and soot gets disturbed and pulled into brand-new duct runs. The Lennox system becomes a filter for the building’s history. We clean it out and show you what came out.
BeforeAfterLennox Service in Brooklyn: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here’s a fact about Brooklyn that shapes how we approach Lennox duct cleaning, and it’s not true anywhere else in the same way: the dominant housing stock in neighborhoods like Park Slope, Bedford-Stuyvesant, and Crown Heights was built between 1880 and 1930 for steam heat. That history is why our Air Duct Cleaning in Brooklyn starts with access planning, not a generic checklist. Those brownstones and row houses have no original forced-air ductwork. None. So when a Lennox system appears in one of these buildings, it is almost always a retrofit, and the ductwork was squeezed into chases never designed for it. Tight radii, narrow plenums, long flex runs through old walls. That geometry changes everything about how a duct cleaning has to be done. Our crew plans each pre-war retrofit job around access points, not around a generic checklist. We’ve cleaned systems where the return run was so narrow we had to run camera inspection first just to map the path before inserting the extraction tools.
The same logic applies at the other end of Brooklyn’s housing spectrum. Loft conversions along the Williamsburg waterfront and in Bushwick often use original factory ventilation ducts still in service for residential HVAC. Those steel systems spent decades collecting industrial particulate before the buildings were rezoned. Lennox never designed for that. Independent cleaning does, because we’re on the ground here, and we’re the ones pulling the debris out.
We serve the full Brooklyn service area from these neighborhoods down to the coast.
Lennox Models & Products We Service in Brooklyn
We clean ductwork connected to the full Lennox residential line: Elite Series (EL296V, XC16), Signature Series (SLP98V, XC25), Merit Series (ML180, 13ACX), and Dave Lennox Signature Collection systems paired with S30 smart thermostats. Our parts approach is simple in writing: when a Lennox system is under warranty or a specific tolerance demands it, we use genuine Lennox OEM parts. When it’s out of warranty, we often install equal-or-better aftermarket coils, blower motors, and sensors to extend service life at a lower cost. We stock common replacement components locally for fast Brooklyn turnaround, and we’ll tell you honestly when a repair won’t hold and replacement is the smarter spend.
Our core sub-services on Lennox jobs include supply duct cleaning, return duct cleaning, evaporator coil cleaning, and video inspection of every run before and after work.
Lennox Service Pricing in Brooklyn
A full Lennox duct cleaning in Brooklyn typically runs $450 to $950 for a single-system home, depending on the number of runs, access difficulty, and contamination level. Pre-war retrofits with tight chases cost more than open basement installations in newer construction. Loft conversions with repurposed factory ducts fall at the upper end because the contamination itself is heavier. Every job gets a written price before work starts, under Haven Standard Clause 1. No exceptions. The written estimate includes a video inspection, cleaning scope, and the documented photo record deliverable.
The cheapest quote is rarely cheap in this trade. A $79 coupon job that turns into a $900 invoice once the van is on the drive is exactly what this industry has trained homeowners to expect. We don’t work that way. One flat price per system, agreed in writing before a single panel comes off. Call (806) 606-6902 to set up an inspection. The estimate is free and it’s in writing.

FAQs - Lennox Air Duct Cleaning in Brooklyn
That smell is the signature of original factory ventilation ducts still in service for residential HVAC. The steel ductwork spent decades collecting metal shavings, solvent residue, and industrial dust before the building was converted. When heat hits that material, it off-gasses into your living space. The fix is mechanical cleaning with negative-pressure extraction, followed by sealing. Our tech once pulled 40 pounds of oily, metal-flecked debris from the original factory ducts of a converted warehouse on Wythe Avenue. The return run served a Lennox XC21 condenser, and the blower wheel was so pitted from industrial particulates that we recommended a replacement wheel before sealing the cleaned ducts with mastic. After cleaning and sealing, static pressure dropped from .9 to .45 inches water column, and the system stopped short-cycling. Call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll inspect yours.
Yes, and it’s one of our most common Brooklyn job types. Pre-war brownstones were built for steam heat, so any central air in a Park Slope, Carroll Gardens, or Bed-Stuy brownstone is a retrofit. The ductwork was fitted into chases and voids never designed for it, which means tight radii and narrow runs. We plan those jobs around access points, use camera inspection to map the path before extraction, and account for the plaster dust and soot that gets pulled in during renovation. The cleaning takes longer than an open-basement job, and the written price reflects that honestly.
Coastal Brooklyn neighborhoods like Brighton Beach, Sheepshead Bay, and Coney Island see salt-laden humidity almost year-round. That salt settles on evaporator coils and inside duct runs, speeding corrosion and giving mold a foothold. For Lennox systems near the water, we recommend duct and coil cleaning every 24 to 36 months, more often if you notice rising humidity indoors or the system running longer to hit the same setpoint. If a cheaper quote tells you once a decade is fine, the quote isn’t accounting for Brooklyn’s coastal air. Call (806) 606-6902 for an exact inspection and a written recommendation based on what the camera shows.
Often yes. Post-war NYCHA towers and co-ops typically have slim-duct retrofits with undersized returns. When filter media clogs, airflow drops, condensate drains back up, and the pressure switch in a high-efficiency Lennox furnace like the SLP98V reads the fault and locks out. Sometimes the duct cleaning clears it. Sometimes the ductwork itself is the problem, and we’ll tell you that in writing after measuring static pressure before and after the clean. The furnace is doing its job. The question is what’s upstream of it.
We make the call based on what the camera and coil inspection show. A coil that’s fouled with salt and debris but structurally sound gets cleaned with professional-grade extraction and coil cleaning agents. A coil that’s corroded, pitted, or leaking gets replaced, and we’ll show you the photo evidence before you spend the money. For out-of-warranty Lennox systems, we often install an equal-or-better aftermarket coil at a lower cost than OEM, and we’ll walk you through the tradeoff in writing. Call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll put a scope and price in front of you.
