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 Columbus, NY | CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning
Columbus Air Duct Cleaning for a Lennox system costs between $380 and $720 for a full system on a typical 2,500-square-foot home, and we complete most jobs in under four hours. We are an independent Lennox service provider serving Columbus, and the thing that separates our work here is the documentation: every duct run gets photographed before and after, so you see exactly what was removed. If you own a Lennox system in Columbus, call (806) 606-6902 for a written price before any work starts.
Tomas Reyes started CleanRun in 2013 after years of crawling through duct systems across New York, and he built the company around a simple rule: the camera gets introduced before the invoice does. We work on Lennox equipment every week in Columbus, from SLP98V furnaces to XC25 heat pumps, and we know how these systems behave in central Ohio basements. For Lennox sales & service details, this is the approach we bring to every job.
Why Columbus Residents Choose Us for Lennox Service
Lennox designs air handlers and furnaces to run tight tolerances, and those tolerances don’t tolerate ductwork neglect. In Columbus, where full basements are common and trunk lines run at ground level through occasionally damp utility spaces, a Lennox system’s performance depends heavily on what has accumulated inside the ductwork feeding it. We have spent twelve years inside these systems, and we know what a clogged evaporator coil on an EL296V looks like when the return ducts pull air through an unfinished Grove City basement.
We carry OEM Lennox components when warranty compliance or performance is on the line. We also tell you plainly when a quality aftermarket equivalent does the same job for less. That honesty extends to the fact that we photograph every run we service. When our crew finishes a Lennox job in Columbus, you hold a documented record of what was inside your ducts and what they look like after. Tomas Reyes has been doing this since his days working duct systems across all five boroughs of New York, and the standard has not changed: the photo tells you what’s in there. Everything else is just paperwork.
Common Lennox Air Duct Cleaning Problems We Solve in Columbus
Here is what we actually find when we open up Lennox systems in this city:
- Evaporator coil clogging on high-efficiency models like the EL296V. Older Columbus ranches in Reynoldsburg and Whitehall often have return ducts pulling air through unfinished basements. The coil loads up with lint, dust, and debris far faster than a sealed return system would, and efficiency drops before you see it on your utility bill. We remove the coil access panel, document the buildup, and clean it with professional-grade equipment from Rotobrush and Abatement Technologies.
- Flex duct compression and kinking in 1970s-1990s Lennox installations. The ranch and split-level stock across the east side of Columbus is full of original flex ductwork that has sagged, compressed, or kinked over decades. Reduced airflow means supply registers accumulate dust faster. Our video inspection spots every restriction, and we repair or replace damaged flex runs before finishing the cleaning.
- Mold and biofilm growth in basement trunk lines. Columbus sits in a humid continental zone, and the Scioto and Olentangy river corridors add localized moisture that pushes into basement utility spaces. Lennox air handlers in these basements pull damp air into trunk lines where organic material has settled, and the result is biofilm. We inspect for it, photograph it, and clean it with negative-pressure extraction plus sanitizing when needed.
- Post-construction drywall dust in new Lennox systems. In Dublin, Hilliard, New Albany, and Powell, builders routinely run the HVAC system during drywall sanding. The Lennox blower pulls that fine dust into every duct run, where it coats the inside of the system and shortens filter life from day one. We clean these systems before families move in, and our photo record shows exactly how much construction debris came out.
- Compacted debris in retrofitted bungalow ductwork. University District and Clintonville homes from the 1920s-1940s got central air retrofitted decades later, and the ductwork shows it. Irregular plenums, disconnected flex runs behind finished walls, and accumulations so dense they need multiple negative-pressure passes are common on Lennox systems in these older Columbus neighborhoods.
BeforeAfterLennox Service in Columbus: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Columbus is doing something no other Ohio city is doing right now. The Intel semiconductor campus buildout in New Albany is driving thousands of new homes through the northeast suburbs, each with brand-new Lennox ductwork contaminated by construction debris before occupancy. At the same time, the 1970s-1990s housing stock in Reynoldsburg, Grove City, and Whitehall is aging into its fifth decade with original flex duct and trunk lines that have never seen professional cleaning. Our crews see both jobs on the same day: a Pickerington new build with drywall dust packed into a Lennox ML195 in the morning, and a Grove City ranch with fifty-year-old accumulation in the afternoon. That simultaneous demand is unique to Columbus, and it means our HVAC Cleaning - Columbus technicians have deep experience at both ends of the ductwork lifespan spectrum. One of our techs pulled a compacted eight-inch plug of drywall dust and wood shavings from a Lennox ML195 in a Pickerington new build recently. The builder’s HVAC crew had run the system during sanding. We ran triple negative-pressure passes and a video inspection before the family moved in, then sealed two disconnected flex runs we found behind a finished basement wall.
Lennox Models & Products We Service in Columbus
We service the full range of Lennox furnace and heat pump lines across Columbus, including the SLP98V, EL296V, ML195, and the Signature Series XC25. Our parts approach is straightforward: when an OEM Lennox component matters for performance or warranty compliance, we use it. When a quality aftermarket part delivers equal lifespan for less money, we tell you that too, and we present repair versus replace numbers in writing before touching anything. For Columbus turnaround times, common components like flex duct, register boots, and coil cleaning equipment stay stocked on our trucks, so most Lennox service calls move from inspection to completion in one visit. If you are comparing this to Lennox service in Fort Worth, the local difference is the housing stock and humidity profile, and that shapes what we stock and how we clean.
Lennox Service Pricing in Columbus
Whole-system air duct cleaning for a Lennox-equipped home in Columbus typically runs $380 to $720 depending on system size, number of returns, and severity of buildup. Post-construction cleaning in new-build communities like New Albany or Powell often lands at the higher end because the debris is fine and pervasive. Coil cleaning adds $120 to $250 when the evaporator coil needs pulled and cleaned separately. Flex duct repair or replacement prices are scoped in writing after video inspection, never guessed. Every estimate is free and every job comes with a written price under Haven Standard Clause 1 before a single panel comes off. Call (806) 606-6902 and we will put a number on paper.

FAQs - Lennox Air Duct Cleaning in Columbus
Your 1980s ranch almost certainly has original flex ductwork that has sagged and loosened at the connections, letting insulation, basement dust, and debris into the airstream while slowing airflow so more particulates settle inside. Your neighbor’s Trane system in a sealed new build has tight duct runs that have not had forty years to accumulate. The age of the duct infrastructure matters more than the brand of equipment. If you want to see exactly what is inside your runs before deciding, call (806) 606-6902 and we will run a video inspection with a written report.
No. Cleaning ductwork with negative-pressure extraction does not void a Lennox equipment warranty. In fact, leaving drywall dust and construction debris in the system can cause the blower motor to work harder than designed and shorten filter life from the first week of occupancy. New Albany and Powell builders frequently run systems during drywall sanding, and cleaning that debris out before move-in is standard first-service work. We document every run with before and after photos, so you have a record to show anyone who asks.
The Scioto and Olentangy river corridors push localized moisture into the air in Columbus much of the year, and when that humid air settles in full basements where Lennox trunk lines run at ground level, mold and biofilm risk climbs compared to drier Ohio cities like Dayton or Toledo. Basement ductwork here lives in the damp zone. We inspect for visible mold and biofilm as part of every Lennox duct cleaning, and we clean and sanitize with professional-grade equipment when we find it. Call (806) 606-6902 for an inspection with photo documentation.
Scope creep in Clintonville bungalows comes from what hides behind finished walls. These homes got central air retrofitted decades after they were built, and the ductwork often includes irregular plenums, disconnected flex runs, and dead-end branches that never got properly connected. A standard cleaning reveals those issues on video, and repair work adds to the total. We write every scope in plain language with photos of what the camera found, so you decide what gets fixed and what waits. No surprises, no pressure.
That depends on what the camera and coil inspection show. If the EL296V heat exchanger is sound, the blower motor runs properly, and the coil is cleanable, cleaning the ductwork is worth doing and will improve airflow and filter life immediately. If the coil is heavily corroded or the blower motor is failing, replacing the system first makes more sense than cleaning ducts that will feed a dying unit. We give you the repair-versus-replace numbers in writing before you spend a dollar. Call (806) 606-6902 for a free system inspection in Grove City.
