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 HVAC Cleaning Across Bloomfield
HVAC cleaning in Bloomfield typically runs $340-$690 for a full system, with coil cleaning priced separately at $150-$280 per coil, and most jobs complete in 3-5 hours. We work throughout Bloomfield’s dense residential blocks weekly, from Watsessing to Brookdale, and we know exactly what these pre-war houses hide inside their ductwork. If you’re noticing dust settling within days of wiping surfaces, or your heat kicks on and smells stale, your system needs documented attention, not a shop-vac wave-through.
Call (806) 606-6902 for a written price before any work begins. That’s Haven Standard Clause 1, and it has not changed since our first job in 2013.
Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Is Bloomfield’s Preferred HVAC Cleaning Company
Bloomfield homeowners don’t have the patience for bait-and-switch pricing. The housing stock here was built between 1920 and 1945, retrofitted with forced air decades later, and the duct runs show it. We’ve been in enough Watsessing two-families and Brookdale Colonials to know that a 1978 retrofit in a finished basement closet is a completely different job than a purpose-built suburban system. That’s why our HVAC Cleaning approach leads with written scope and photographic evidence, not a coupon.
A few things Bloomfield residents consistently mention in reviews: the photo record delivered after the job, the fact that techs are background-checked and uniformed under Haven Standard Clause 3 (Verified Crews), and the free second opinion we provide on any competitor’s written estimate. That second opinion has settled a lot of disputes on Brighton Avenue where a $79 “special” turned into a $900 invoice once the panels came off.
We dispatch from our New York City office, with crews running locally through Bloomfield, Belleville, Nutley, and the surrounding blocks. When you schedule with us, you get a written price before a single panel is removed, and you get photos of what was actually inside your duct runs. Not stock images. Not “trust me.” Photographs.
Our HVAC Cleaning Services in Bloomfield
Full-system HVAC cleaning means every component the air moves through, not just the visible sections. In Bloomfield’s older homes, three components fail before anything else: the air handler, the blower, and the evaporator coil. We treat each as a separate documented task within the system-wide scope.
Air Handler Cleaning
Your air handler is the box that houses the blower and coil, and in Bloomfield retrofits it’s usually buried in a basement closet with fourteen inches of clearance. We remove combustible dust and biological growth from the cabinet interior, the drain pan, and the insulation surfaces. On pre-war homes, we often find asbestos wrap on the supply plenum right above the handler; we photograph that condition and flag it before any agitation begins, so you know exactly what’s there and what to do about it.
Blower Cleaning
The blower wheel in a 1980s Carrier or Rheem retrofit often hasn’t been removed since installation. Dust caked on the fins throws the wheel out of balance and strains the motor bearings. We pull the blower assembly, clean each blade with non-damaging agitation, and document the before and after. Worn bearings on a blower that’s been running full speed for three decades can fail when brushed aggressively, so we inspect, photograph, and advise before we proceed. That’s not upsell. That’s honest context for what you own.
Evaporator Coil Cleaning
The evaporator coil sits on the supply side where air leaves the AC or heat pump. In Bloomfield, this coil is frequently coated in a paste of diesel soot and household dust, especially near JFK Drive North and other routes where I-280 and Route 3 traffic idles. A clogged coil drops both airflow and efficiency. We clean it with manufacturer-approved coil cleaners followed by a rinse and post-clean photo. The difference in airflow after cleaning is often visible on the camera feed as much as felt in the room.
Condenser Cleaning
The outdoor condenser unit pulls air across its coil to expel heat. Bloomfield yards and driveways sit close to mature trees, and maple seeds, pollen, and road film accumulate fast. We clean the condenser fins, straighten what can be straightened, and check the refrigerant line for chafing. A condenser that’s caked in grime costs more to run and shortens compressor life. Most units just need a documented mechanical cleaning; we do that without pretending you need a full replacement.

Common HVAC Cleaning Problems We See in Bloomfield Homes
- Shared trunk lines in two-family houses. In Watsessing and parts of the Halcyon Park section, two units often share a single supply trunk. One side gets cleaned, the other side’s debris stays put, and the “cleaned” side gets re-contaminated within months. We scope and photograph the entire shared section so both parties understand what’s actually connected.
- Flex-duct patchwork from retrofit installation. The original duct plan in a 1920s Bloomfield Colonial was steam radiators. Somewhere in the 1970s or 1980s, a contractor added a forced-air furnace and ran flex duct into wall cavities never sized for it. That flex tears under aggressive brushing. We use gentle agitation matched to the material and document every patch.
- Blower imbalance from caked dust. Tight mechanical closets mean the blower rarely gets opened for maintenance. We’ve pulled wheels with a quarter inch of compacted hair and dust on the fins. The motor runs hot, the bearings wear, and the unit fails years early. A documented blower cleaning extends the life of the exact unit you own.
- Diesel soot and brake dust infiltration. Bloomfield sits in a high-traffic corridor: I-280 on the south side, Route 3 to the north, and the NJ Transit Montclair-Boonton Line cutting through. Households within a few hundred feet of these routes show measurable particulate buildup inside supply ducts within a year of cleaning. We see it consistently and routinely on pre-and-post photo records.
Pricing for HVAC Cleaning in Bloomfield, NJ
A full HVAC Cleaning in Bloomfield on a single-family home runs $340-$550 for the system including supply and return ducts, air handler cabinet, blower wheel, and evaporator coil. A two-family home with a shared trunk line typically lands between $500-$690 because both sides of the shared section must be addressed for the job to hold. Evaporator coil cleaning as a standalone service runs $150-$220; blower service is $120-$180 when booked separately. Homes with flex-duct patchwork or asbestos-wrapped plenums may require additional scope, but the written price covers it before work starts. Never a per-vent price. Never a teaser coupon.
We provide a free written estimate over the phone after a short conversation about the system and square footage. If you already have a competitor’s written quote, we’ll put our number next to it. Free second opinion on any written estimate. That’s our standard, not a promotion.

FAQs - HVAC Cleaning in Bloomfield
Start by locating your air handler. If you and the adjacent unit both hear air moving when either furnace runs, that’s a strong signal of a shared supply or return trunk. The original install plan may have been a single system sized for the whole structure, split between apartments later. We confirm with a camera scope of the trunk line, and we photograph the branches going to each unit. If shared ductwork exists, cleaning only one side leaves the other side’s accumulation in place. It must be scoped and cleaned as one system, with both parties aware of what the camera shows.
Because the ducts weren’t built for the house. Pre-war Bloomfield homes started with steam radiators. Forced-air systems added in the 1970s and 1980s were routed through wall cavities, closets, and finished basements that were never sized for proper duct runs. That means tight elbows, undersized trunks, flex-duct patches, and access points that require unusual tooling. It’s slower work, and it’s why a purpose-built system in a newer development cleans faster than a 1930s Colonial on Watchung Avenue. We price based on what the camera shows, not on a flat per-vent formula.
Yes, measurably. Bloomfield is bracketed by I-280, Route 3, and the NJ Transit Montclair-Boonton Line, and the particulate matter from diesel combustion and train braking settles indoors at higher rates than in less-congested suburbs. Houses within a few hundred feet of these corridors show faster duct re-accumulation. We record that in the photo record so you have a baseline for how quickly your system will need attention again. If you commute on JFK Drive North or live near the Halcyon Park section, you’re breathing more of it than you might want to think about.
We bring compact, professional-grade equipment in a cargo van sized for urban access, and we schedule weekday arrivals on Broadway and adjacent blocks with alternate-side parking in mind. Technicians carry the Rotobrush tool, HEPA negative-air unit, and camera equipment in mobile cases so the van doesn’t block anything. For tight drives or shared garages, tell us when you call and we’ll plan arrival window and equipment staging accordingly. We’re not bringing a trailer. This isn’t a warehouse job.
Most of them, yes. Many Bloomfield two-families route dryer exhaust vertically through a chase between units, rising two or even three stories to the roof. We clean those with a rotary brush matched to the duct material and diameter, plus HEPA-filtered negative pressure to contain what comes loose. We photograph the vent opening before and after. If the run has a bird screen or a crushed section, we’ll document that and price the correction separately. Do not tape a leaf blower to a vertical vent and hope for the best. That’s how lint packs into elbows and creates a fire hazard.
