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.

Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Is New Albany’s Preferred HVAC Cleaning Company
New Albany homeowners hire us for a reason you can actually see: we hand over a photo record of every duct run, the evaporator coil, and the blower wheel before and after the work. That standard has applied since 2013, across more than 52,000 homes. Tomas Reyes, who leads our crew, wrote the protocol himself - Haven Standard Clause 1 means a written price lands in your hand before any work starts, and Clause 4 means the photo record comes with every single job. If the work isn’t right, the 365-Day Done Right Promise puts the correction in writing too.
We’ve worked Mansion Row houses where the original octopus-furnace trunk lines were converted to forced-air decades ago, and the difference between a single-pass negative-pressure pull and what those ducts actually need is something you can measure in airflow before and after. That local knowledge matters. New Albany’s river-valley humidity drives mold faster than homeowners expect, which is why we treat coils and air handlers, not just duct walls.
Our HVAC Cleaning Services in New Albany
HVAC cleaning covers more than the ductwork. The system components that move, cool, and condition the air all accumulate debris, and in New Albany’s humid river valley, neglect on any one of them gives mold a place to grow. Here are the four services we perform most often in HVAC Cleaning calls across New Albany and nearby areas.
Evaporator Coil Cleaning
A dirty evaporator coil means the air conditioner runs longer to hit the same temperature, and in New Albany, that humidity rides along through supply vents. We clean coils in place with professional-grade cleaners from Abatement Technologies, then photograph the coil before and after. Expect $150-$250 when bundled with a full system clean. Homes near Grant Line Road and the New Albany-Floyd County line tend to show heavier coil buildup from sustained summer condensation.
Air Handler Cleaning
The air handler is the box that houses the blower and coil, and in older New Albany homes, it’s often tucked into a basement corner that hasn’t been opened in years. We remove the blower assembly, clean the housing, and treat surfaces to slow microbial regrowth. Air handler cleaning runs $120-$180 as an add-on. In pre-WWII homes converted from gravity heat, the air handler is usually a retrofit tied into original trunk ducts - which means it pulls air through that century-old pipe and gets coated with whatever the duct walls release.
Condenser Cleaning
The outdoor condenser sits in a New Albany backyard and collects grass clippings, cottonwood fluff, and dust from the river. We wash the coil fins, clear the cabinet base, and verify the unit can reject heat properly. Condenser cleaning usually runs $90-$140 by itself, or $80-$120 when paired with a full interior clean. Homes along the Silver Hills corridor with mature landscaping need this service more often than newer subdivisions with smaller lots.
Heat Exchanger Cleaning
On gas furnaces, a fouled heat exchanger reduces efficiency and, in extreme cases, shortens component life. We inspect and clean the accessible surface area as part of a full HVAC cleaning, $75-$110. We don’t perform gas-line work, and if we see cracking or corrosion beyond surface cleaning, we say so and refer you to a licensed heating contractor.
Coil Treatment
After mechanical cleaning, we apply a coil treatment that resists microbial buildup - the kind that New Albany’s summer dew points practically invite. Treatment adds $60-$90 per coil. This step matters most in river-valley homes with chronic sweating ducts, where a clean coil can be recolonized within two summers without it.

BeforeAfterTrusted Brands We Service in New Albany
We service all major furnace and air conditioner brands - Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Rheem, Goodman, and York included - and we run professional-grade cleaning equipment from Rotobrush and Nikro, so the air-moving components are treated with tools built for source removal, not shop-vac improvisation. Because we work New Albany homes with duct retrofits spanning decades of brand changes, we stock common access panels, filter racks, and coil cleaner concentrates locally, which keeps turnaround on most jobs to a single visit.
Common HVAC Cleaning Problems We See in New Albany Homes
- Compacted debris in historic trunk ducts. We regularly open trunk lines in pre-1950 homes near East Spring Street and find coal soot, lint, and insulation pressed into the duct walls like felt from decades of positive-pressure heating. A single-pass negative-pressure rig will not pull it. We run multiple source-removal passes with agitation tools, then show you the after photo.
- Mold colonization from river-valley humidity. New Albany sits at the bottom of the Ohio River valley, where summer dew points in the upper 60s to low 70s°F create condensation on uninsulated supply ducts. Mold follows. We clean the ducts, then treat evaporator coils and air handler surfaces so the problem doesn’t return in eighteen months.
- Oversized duct retrofits from gravity-furnace conversions. Many turn-of-the-century New Albany homes converted from octopus furnaces to forced air by tying new blowers into old, oversized trunks. That means low static pressure, sluggish airflow, and debris that settles instead of being pushed through. Cleaning restores measurable airflow - we measure before and after at the registers.
- Shared dryer vent stacks in older multi-unit buildings. In duplexes and converted apartment houses around downtown New Albany, multiple dryers often share one vertical vent stack. Lint accumulates at the roof cap, back-pressure builds, and every unit’s dryer loses efficiency. We clean the full stack, not just the appliance-side run, and document the before and after.
Pricing for HVAC Cleaning in New Albany, IN
This is what our New Albany customers actually pay, and we put it in writing before any work begins. A complete HVAC cleaning on a typical 2,000-square-foot home runs $380-$540, which includes the duct runs, supply and return plenums, blower, and photo documentation of every step. Evaporator coil cleaning adds $150-$250. Air handler cleaning adds $120-$180. Condenser cleaning adds $90-$140. Coil treatment adds $60-$90 per coil. Larger homes, multiple systems, heavy debris from historic retrofits, and long recovery-hose runs from street parking can push the total higher - but the number is set before we start, not adjusted after. Haven Standard Clause 1. That’s the entire point.

FAQs - HVAC Cleaning in New Albany
Because the debris in those ducts isn’t typical household dust - it’s a century of layered coal soot, lint, and insulation fibers compressed into the galvanized walls like felt, and a single negative-pressure pass simply slides over the top. New Albany’s Mansion Row and surrounding historic blocks were largely converted from gravity octopus furnaces to forced air, which left oversized trunk ducts that accumulate this compacted material. We run multiple source-removal passes with agitation tools, then photograph the interior so you can see what actually came out. If you’re in the East Spring Street corridor and the last cleaning was a one-pass job, there’s a good chance debris remains. Call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll inspect with a camera before quoting anything.
Yes - most New Albany homes benefit from evaporator coil cleaning every three to five years, not the five to seven you’d see recommended in drier upland Indiana towns. The Ohio River valley floor traps warm, humid air, and summer dew points routinely reach the upper 60s to low 70s°F, which creates near-constant condensation on supply ducts and coil surfaces. That condensation feeds mold and biofilm growth faster than in communities just a few miles east on the Indiana plateau. If your home sweats at the registers or you smell a musty note when the AC kicks on, the coil is usually the source. We clean and treat it, then photo-document the result.
We clean the full stack - from the appliance connection at each unit to the roof cap - because a clog at the cap creates back-pressure that affects every dryer on the line. In older multi-unit buildings around downtown New Albany, shared dryer vent stacks are common, and the lint loads are compounded by multiple dryers feeding the same vertical chase. We use rotary brush tools from Nikro sized to the stack diameter, clear the full run, and photograph the roof cap and interior before and after. If you’re a New Albany property owner with a shared stack, call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll assess the layout before quoting.
We clean original galvanized ducts carefully, using agitation tools with soft-core brushes and negative-pressure extraction that doesn’t stress the seams. Corroded seams and thin-wall galvanized steel are common in New Albany’s pre-WWII housing stock, and a careless rotary whip can open a seam or dislodge a joint. Where we see advanced corrosion, we’ll tell you - and we don’t sell duct replacement, so the recommendation comes without an upsell attached. The photo record shows the pipe condition before and after, so you know exactly what condition your 80-year-old trunk lines are in.
The EPA identifies indoor air pollution - from particulate matter, mold, and biological contaminants - as a top environmental health risk, and New Albany’s older homes carry a specific version of that risk: decades of accumulated debris inside retrofitted duct systems, plus river-valley humidity that promotes mold. The EPA does not certify duct cleaning companies or require specific cleanings, but its guidance on moisture control and source removal aligns with what we do: pull the debris out, reduce the moisture load, and document the result. We follow that sequence on every New Albany job, and the photo record is your proof. Call (806) 606-6902 for a free estimate.
