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 Brunswick
HVAC cleaning in Brunswick, OH typically runs $320-$640 for a complete system cleaning that includes the evaporator coil, blower assembly, and air handler. Most Brunswick homes we service have forced-air systems that haven’t been opened since the day they were installed. If you live in a 1960s or 1970s ranch near Center Road or Pearl, you’re likely dealing with fiberglass duct board that’s actively degrading. Call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll give you a written price before any panel comes off.
We know Brunswick’s housing stock better than most because we’ve been inside hundreds of these systems. The split-level on Substation Road, the ranch on Hadcock, the colonial on Grafton. Same patterns, same age, same fixes. Our crews are in Brunswick weekly, and we don’t schedule a visit until you’ve seen a written scope and price.
Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Is Brunswick’s Preferred HVAC Cleaning Company
Brunswick homeowners don’t respond well to vague promises. They want to see what’s inside the ductwork before agreeing to anything. That’s how we’ve operated since 2013, and it’s why our HVAC Cleaning team includes a camera inspection of every duct run on every job. Not as an upsell. As the standard.
Tomas Reyes, who leads CleanRun, built the company around a single rule: the written price comes first, always. Haven Standard Clause 1. No exceptions, no “call for a quote” games. We publish our pricing structure on the page, and the number we write is the number you pay. Brunswick customers regularly tell us that’s what got them to pick up the phone.
Every technician who walks into a Brunswick home is background-checked, uniformed, and identified by name before arrival. That’s Haven Standard Clause 3: Verified Crews. And every job ends with a Documented Photo Record, inside every run, before and after. You see what we saw. You know what changed.
We serve the full Brunswick area from our Cleveland dispatch office. Response times for Brunswick residents are typically one to two business days for scheduled cleanings. We’re not a franchise. We’re independently owned and operated, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise is written into every job record.
Our HVAC Cleaning Services in Brunswick
Evaporator Coil Cleaning
In Brunswick’s 1960s and 1970s homes, the evaporator coil sits directly above the furnace in the plenum, where it’s been collecting dust, pet hair, and fiberglass fibers for five decades. A coil caked in debris reduces heat transfer and forces the blower to run longer. We remove the coil access panel, document the condition with photos, and clean it using professional-grade coil cleaners and gentle water pressure. In homes near W. 130th with original equipment, we commonly find coils with a full 1/4 inch of matted particulate. That’s not just inefficiency. It’s air you’re breathing.
Air Handler Cleaning
The air handler cabinet in Brunswick ranches and split-levels is often installed in a basement corner where it’s shared space with laundry, storage, and occasionally a litter box. We open the cabinet, photograph the interior, and clean the blower housing, cabinet walls, and condensate pan. Fiberglass duct board particles settle here first before circulating through the house. If you’re finishing your basement on a street off Grafton Road, do this before drywall goes up.
Blower Cleaning
Blower wheels in Brunswick’s original 1970s forced-air systems are rarely balanced and almost never cleaned. When the blower wheel blades are caked with dust, the entire system works harder and moves less air. We remove the blower assembly, clean each blade, and inspect the motor bearings. A camera inspection before and after shows exactly what was on those blades. In most Brunswick homes, it’s a layer thick enough to reduce airflow by 10 to 15 percent.
Condenser Cleaning
Your outdoor condenser unit sits through Brunswick’s humid summers and five-to-six-month heating seasons. Leaves, grass clippings, cottonwood seed, and road dust from Center Road traffic clog the fins. We clean the condenser coil, straighten bent fins where we can, and check refrigerant pressures if you want us to. Clean condenser coils pull heat out faster and put less strain on the compressor. For Brunswick homes with units near the garage or driveway, this is a spring and fall job.

Common HVAC Cleaning Problems We See in Brunswick Homes
- Fiberglass duct board degradation at trunk-line seams. Brunswick’s 1960s-70s tract homes used fiberglass duct board almost exclusively. After 50+ freeze-thaw cycles, the joints open, the board sheds fibers, and basement air gets pulled directly into the supply side. We cam every run to map exactly where those gaps are before we start cleaning.
- Horizontal trunk lines collecting debris from unfinished basements. In Brunswick ranch homes, the main supply trunk runs the length of the basement ceiling with unsealed joints. Every time the furnace cycles, those gaps pull in whatever’s in the basement air: mold spores, insulation particles, rodent dander. The accumulation at those seams is the first place we inspect.
- Evaporator coils buried in matted pet hair and dust. Brunswick homeowners love dogs. The coils in homes with two or more indoor pets show it. When the coil is loaded, static pressure climbs and the blower works against a loaded filter 24/7. Cleaning the coil is the single highest-impact fix we do in Brunswick.
- Shared dryer vent stacks in Brunswick’s multi-unit properties. Brunswick has more multi-unit housing than people realize, especially along the Pearl Road corridor. Shared dryer vent stacks create lint pathway blockages that pose fire risk across adjacent units. If you’re in a condo or townhome, the vent cleaning is not just your problem. It’s the building’s.
Pricing for HVAC Cleaning in Brunswick, OH
Here are the numbers, in writing, before you call. A complete HVAC cleaning in Brunswick runs $320-$640 depending on system size, accessibility, and condition. That includes the evaporator coil, blower wheel, air handler cabinet, and supply/return plenum. Smaller ranchers with a single return and easy basement access usually come in near the bottom. A two-story colonial with a finished basement and a crawl-space return is at the top.
Add-on services, if needed, are priced separately and in writing before work starts: coil treatment runs $75-$120, duct sanitizing runs $180-$300 depending on square footage, and a full camera-only inspection (no cleaning) is $95, credited back if you hire us for cleaning.
We don’t do per-vent pricing. We don’t do $79 coupons that turn into $900 invoices once the van is parked. One flat price per system, agreed in writing, before a single panel comes off. Call (806) 606-6902 for an exact quote. Estimates are free.

FAQs - HVAC Cleaning in Brunswick
Freeze-thaw cycles. Brunswick’s 1960s tract homes were built with fiberglass duct board, and the unsealed joints between trunk-line sections expand and contract slightly every winter. Over 50+ Northeast Ohio winters, those gaps open just enough to pull basement air into the supply side whenever the blower runs. Newer construction uses sheet metal with mastic-sealed joints, which doesn’t have this failure mode. In Brunswick, we camera every trunk-line seam before cleaning because those gaps are where the contamination enters. If you want a specific number for your home, call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll walk you through what to expect.
Yes, and ideally before the drywall goes up. Once the basement is framed and finished, the horizontal trunk line running through the ceiling becomes much harder to access. If the coil is already loaded with 50 years of dust and pet hair, finishing the basement seals that problem in. We’ve been inside enough Brunswick basements mid-renovation to tell you: the coil and trunk line are the first things to address, not the last. A cleaning before you close the ceiling gives you access, documentation, and clean air from day one of the finished space.
Brunswick sits in the outer Lake Erie snowbelt, which means furnaces run roughly five to six months a year. That’s nearly double the runtime of systems south of the snowbelt, so particulate accumulates at roughly double the rate. The humid summers add condensation risk inside duct runs, especially in fiberglass duct board systems where absorbed moisture promotes mold colonization. We recommend Brunswick homeowners get a camera inspection every three to five years, and a full cleaning when the photo record shows visible accumulation. For homes with multiple indoor pets, bump that to every two to three years.
Yes. Our cleaning methodology follows NADCA guidelines for source removal, and we document the result with interior photos of every run before and after. The camera record is what matters. A shop vac in a vent doesn’t meet NADCA standards and doesn’t clean anything beyond the first six feet of duct. In Brunswick’s long basement trunk lines, that’s the difference between cleaning the first elbow and actually cleaning the entire system. We use Rotobrush agitation tools under negative pressure with HEPA filtration, and every step is in your photo record.
Most original blower motors in Brunswick’s 1970s systems are either near end of life or running much harder than they should be. The blower wheel blades load with dust and throw the assembly out of balance, which wears the motor bearings faster. We regularly find blower wheels in Brunswick homes with enough caked-on particulate to reduce airflow by 10 to 15 percent. If the motor is original, it’s likely been running against that resistance for years. We’ll show you the before photo, the after photo, and if the motor needs replacement, we’ll give you a written price before any work is done. Call (806) 606-6902 to schedule.
