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.
Fast, Reliable HVAC Cleaning Across Lawrence
HVAC cleaning in Lawrence, MA typically runs $325-$590 for a complete system clean on a single-family or one unit in a triple-decker, depending on how many sub-systems need attention (coil, blower, air handler, heat exchanger). Most Lawrence jobs take 4-6 hours on site, and we schedule within 3-7 business days. What makes Lawrence different from every other Merrimack Valley town we work in: the post-2018 rebuild left duct systems sealed with construction debris that has been recirculating for five-plus years. If you live in a triple-decker off Hampshire Street, a two-family near the Spicket River, or a condo in the old mill buildings downtown, call (806) 606-6902. We’ll give you a written price before a single panel comes off.
Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Is Lawrence’s Preferred HVAC Cleaning Company
We’ve been documenting every duct run we open since 2013, and the photo record we hand Lawrence customers is the same record we’d want for our own homes. Tomas Reyes and our crews know Lawrence’s housing stock the way a mechanic knows a specific make: triple-decker supply risers that run through closet corners, two-family basements with mismatched duct gauges, and air handler closets in hallways too narrow for standard ladders. That familiarity changes how we bid and how we execute. We know before we arrive that a third-floor bedroom in a Hampshire Street walkup likely needs long-reach agitation equipment, not the standard tools we’d bring to a Methuen split-level.
Every Lawrence job gets a written price before work starts. Not an estimate range over the phone, not a “we’ll see when we get there.” A documented number, issued before the first panel is pulled. That’s Haven Standard Clause 1, and it’s been the rule on all 52,000+ homes we’ve served since 2013. After the work, every duct run is photographed before and after and delivered as part of the standard job record. If something isn’t right, the 365-Day Done Right Promise means we come back and make it right, in writing.
Our HVAC Cleaning Services in Lawrence

Most Lawrence homes need more than a quick vacuum pass. The 2018 rebuild era left behind what we now expect to find: joint-compound dust and blown-in insulation fibers packed into elbows and boot registers. That means our HVAC Cleaning crews in Lawrence spend more time on coil and blower work than they would in neighboring towns. Here’s what that looks like, system by system.
Evaporator Coil Cleaning
The evaporator coil sits inside the air handler and does the actual cooling. In Lawrence, we regularly find coils coated in a gray paste: drywall dust from post-2018 rebuilds, mixed with the humidity the Merrimack River valley traps in duct runs. A fouled coil reduces heat transfer and forces the blower to run longer. Our approach uses HEPA-filtered extraction with coil-safe cleaning agents, and we photograph the coil before and after so you can see the difference. In a typical Lawrence triple-decker, evaporator coil cleaning runs $150-$275 as part of a full system clean.

Blower Cleaning
The blower motor is what moves air through every run in the house. In Lawrence, blower wheels in 2018-2019-era systems often carry a caked layer of construction dust that didn’t exist in pre-explosion homes. That build-up reduces airflow to upper floors, which is why third-floor rooms in triple-deckers feel muggy while the first floor is freezing. We pull the blower assembly, clean the wheel and housing, and check motor amp draw. Blower cleaning in Lawrence typically runs $120-$210 on its own, and it’s included in most full-system quotes.

Condenser Cleaning
The condenser is the outdoor unit, and Lawrence’s dense lot layout means many sit inches from a neighbor’s wall or under a fire escape. Restricted airflow cuts efficiency and shortens compressor life. We clean fins, straighten where needed, clear debris, and check refrigerant pressures. Expect $90-$160 for a standard condenser cleaning in Lawrence, more if the unit hasn’t been opened in years and needs fin combing.

Air Handler Cleaning
The air handler cabinet houses the blower, coil, and often the filter rack. In Lawrence’s older wood-frame buildings, these units frequently live in shared basement utility rooms or hallway closets. That shared access is a scheduling issue we handle from the first call: we’ll ask which unit is yours, who controls access to the utility room, and when we can get in. Air handler cleaning in Lawrence runs $175-$300 and includes cabinet interior, drain pan, and accessible duct connections. In two-family homes with shared handler closets, we schedule a single window that covers both units when possible.

Before
AfterTrusted Brands We Service in Lawrence
We don’t ask you to take our word on equipment. Our crews run Rotobrush and Nikro agitation and extraction systems, with Guardsman filtration on jobs that need it. The reason we name the tools: you should be able to look up what we claim to use before you agree to a price. On Lawrence jobs, we carry common consumables for the brands already in local homes: Honeywell and Aprilaire filter media, standard coil cleaners rated for both aluminum and copper coils, and replacement gaskets for common carrier units we see in post-2018 rebuilds. If we need a part, we tell you in writing before we order it. No surprises, no “we’ll bill you later.”
Common HVAC Cleaning Problems We See in Lawrence Homes

- Post-2018 rebuild debris in supply boots and elbows. On a triple-decker off Hampshire Street, our crew opened a 2019-era supply register and found the boot packed with insulation fibers and joint-compound dust. The blower motor was caked in a gray paste and the air handler coil was half-blocked. We ran a camera inspection to map the patchwork duct runs, then used negative pressure and HEPA filtration with agitation tools to break loose the debris. The tenants stopped waking up with dust on their windowsills, and the owner finally got full airflow to the third-floor bedrooms.
- Shared dryer vent stacks in two-families. A two-family near Tower Hill shares a single dryer vent riser. If only the first-floor lint trap is cleaned and the common stack is left untouched, the upper unit backdrafts into the wall cavity and the fire risk stays. We trace the entire stack on every job, not just the accessible register.
- Retrofitted duct runs through old wood framing. Lawrence’s triple-deckers were built between 1880 and 1920. Forced-air systems came later, and many ducts were snaked through closets, around chimneys, and into knee walls. That patchwork means hard 90-degree elbows accumulate debris faster than smooth transitions. Our standard cleaning pattern includes camera inspection of every accessible elbow, because that’s where Lawrence ducts hold the most material.
- Access restrictions in dense buildings. Booking a single-unit cleaning in a Lawrence triple-decker without coordinating shared utility room access is a failed job. We ask on the first call: who controls the basement, which door leads to the air handler, and do we need a neighbor’s permission to enter. It saves everyone a wasted morning.
Pricing for HVAC Cleaning in Lawrence, MA
Here are honest numbers for the Lawrence market, without the $79 bait-and-switch:
- Full HVAC system clean (single family or one unit): $325-$590
- Evaporator coil only: $150-$275
- Blower only: $120-$210
- Air handler only: $175-$300
- Condenser only: $90-$160
- Heat exchanger inspection & cleaning: $80-$140 (surfaces only; cracked exchangers are a repair item, not a cleaning item)
What moves the price: the number of sub-systems in one unit, whether we need long-reach tools for third-floor runs, and whether shared access requires a second crew member. Debris volume from post-2018 rebuilds matters too. A Lawrence system that has never been cleaned since 2019 will take longer than a Haverhill system of the same age that was never rebuilt. We give one flat price per system, in writing, before work starts. Bring a competitor’s written estimate and we’ll put our number next to it. That’s the Free Second Opinion, and it’s exactly what it sounds like. Call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll schedule a written estimate.

FAQs - HVAC Cleaning in Lawrence

Lawrence took the direct hit from the September 2018 Columbia Gas explosions. The emergency rebuild over the winter of 2018-2019 installed thousands of replacement HVAC systems rapidly, and many duct runs were sealed while drywall dust, joint compound, and blown-in insulation fibers were still present in wall cavities and framing. Those systems have never been professionally cleaned, so a five-plus-year accumulation is baked into the ductwork. Methuen and Haverhill never experienced that rebuild pressure. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written quote; we’ll document what’s actually in your ducts.
Yes, usually. We can isolate the system at the air handler and seal off individual registers while cleaning the accessible runs. What we need from you is coordination for shared spaces: the basement utility room, the air handler closet on the second floor landing, and any third-floor access through a locked door. We confirm those access points on the phone before we schedule. In most Lawrence triple-deckers, we complete the job without any floor being vacated.
We stage equipment on the truck and carry what we need into the home, because most Lawrence streets off Hampshire and Prospect Hill have no room for a full setup next to the curb. If a permit or resident sticker is required, we ask during scheduling. The practical effect: we may use smaller extraction units and cycle equipment in stages, which adds a little time but doesn’t change the written price.
Yes. In a two-family with a common dryer vent stack, lint from the lower unit accumulates in the riser above it. If only the accessible lint trap in the lower unit is cleaned, the upper unit’s airflow gets blocked and the stack keeps holding lint. That’s a fire hazard that doesn’t resolve itself. We clean the whole stack on every Lawrence two-family job, not just the register. A shared stack cleaning typically adds $75-$140 to the quoted price, depending on stack height and access. Call (806) 606-6902 to get a number in writing.
Negative-pressure extraction with HEPA filtration, plus mechanical agitation to break debris loose from duct walls. We seal the system at the air handler, create negative pressure with a Rotobrush or Nikro unit, then run agitation tools through every accessible run. The method is NADCA-aligned and it’s the only approach that removes construction debris rather than pushing it around. On Lawrence rebuild-era systems, we spend extra time on elbows and boot registers, because that’s where the joint-compound dust and insulation fibers packed in during the 2018-2019 winter rebuild. You get a before-and-after photo record of every run we touched. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written price.
