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 Solon
HVAC cleaning in Solon means working on houses where one “system” is really three. A 4,000-square-foot colonial off SOM Center Road typically has separate air handlers for the main level, upstairs, and sometimes a finished basement. We price each system individually, in writing, before any panel comes off. Our crews know the long trunk runs, the aging duct board, and the humidity patterns that make Solon systems collect debris faster than most. Call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll walk you through what a full cleaning actually involves for your specific floor plan.
- Written per-system price before work starts - Haven Standard Clause 1, no exceptions
- Camera inspection included - you see the inside of your duct board trunk before and after
- Documented Photo Record - every duct run photographed, delivered as part of the job record
- 365-Day Done Right Promise - in writing on every job
Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Is Solon’s Preferred HVAC Cleaning Company
Solon homeowners tend to research before they call. They want to know what equipment is being used, what the price is, and what they’ll have when the job is done. That’s how we’ve operated since 2013. Our technicians arrive in uniform, identify themselves by name, and start with a camera inspection of the duct work, not a sales pitch. The homes here are large, the systems are often original to the house, and the work needs to be documented. We’ve cleaned systems in the subdivisions off Liberty Road, around Solon Community Park, and through the Indian Hills and Thornbury neighborhoods. The condition of the ductwork varies by era, but the pattern is consistent: fiberglass duct board from the 1980s and 1990s is breaking down internally, and homeowners deserve to see that breakdown before deciding what to do about it.
We’re not the cheapest option in Solon, and we don’t try to be. We name the equipment we use: Rotobrush for agitation, Nikro for negative-pressure extraction, Abatement Technologies for HEPA filtration. We publish our license. We put the price in writing. And when the job is done, you receive a photo record of the inside of every duct run, not a checklist that says “cleaned.” Our owner, Tomas Reyes, built the company around a simple rule: if you can’t show the customer the work, you haven’t done the work.
Our HVAC Cleaning Services in Solon
Evaporator Coil Cleaning
In Solon’s 3,000-5,000+ square-foot colonials, evaporator coils sit in air handlers that run six-plus months a year. Lake-effect humidity means coils collect a film of dust and moisture that bakes on during heating season. A dirty evaporator coil forces the compressor to work harder, shortens system life, and recirculates air across a damp, particulate-caked surface. We remove the coil access panel, document the condition with photos, clean it with professional coil cleaners, and treat the surface to inhibit regrowth. Expect this service to run $190-$340 per system in Solon.
Air Handler Cleaning
The air handler is the heart of each zone in a multi-zone Solon home. Over decades, the blower wheel, housing, and interior surfaces accumulate a dense layer of dust, pet hair, and debris that reduces airflow and pushes particulates through the house. In homes with 25-45-year-old duct board, some of that debris is fiberglass particles shed from deteriorating liner. We remove the blower assembly, clean the wheel and housing, vacuum the cabinet, and leave the entire unit documented in photos. Air handler cleaning in Solon typically runs $165-$290 per unit, depending on access and system size.
Condenser Cleaning
Solon’s outdoor condenser units sit through heavy snow, spring rain, and a long stretch of maple and oak pollen. Cottonwood seed and grass clippings from the larger lots off Bainbridge Road and Cannon Road build up on the coil fins, restricting heat exchange. We clean condenser coils with a proper fin comb and coil cleaner, not a garden hose at full pressure that bends the fins. A condenser cleaning alone runs $85-$150, but we recommend it as part of a full-system cleaning so the indoor and outdoor sides work together.
Coil Treatment
After cleaning an evaporator or condenser coil, we apply a coil treatment that helps the surface resist immediate particulate adhesion. This matters in Solon more than in drier suburbs because the lake-effect humidity creates a persistent damp film on coil surfaces during shoulder seasons. The treatment doesn’t replace cleaning; it extends the interval between necessary cleanings. Coil treatment is included with evaporator coil cleaning, but we also offer it as a standalone add-on for $40-$75 per coil.

BeforeAfterTrusted Brands We Service in Solon
Most Solon homes built between 1975 and 2000 run on Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Rheem, or York equipment, and the original systems in many of these houses are now pushing two decades or more. Our technicians work on all major brands and carry the standard coil cleaners and treatments compatible with each. We don’t take a manufacturer’s side; we clean the equipment you have and tell you honestly what condition it’s in. We name our own equipment too: Rotobrush for agitation, Nikro for negative-pressure extraction, and Abatement Technologies HEPA filtration on every job. You can look those up before we arrive.
Common HVAC Cleaning Problems We See in Solon Homes
- Fiberglass duct board trunk lines shedding particles into the airstream. The interior liner on 1980s-90s duct board breaks down over decades, releasing fiberglass dust that settles on registers and coils. Camera inspection catches it; a quick vacuum-out won’t.
- Dried and cracked mastic at sheet-metal plenum seams. The gooey sealant used to join plenums to duct board dries out after 20-30 years. The gaps left behind pull attic or basement air into the system and trap debris at the seam edges.
- Multi-zone systems treated as one zone. A 4,000 sq ft Solon home with three air handlers needs three separate cleanings, three coil services, and three photo records. Crews that charge one flat “whole-house” price for this floor plan are cutting corners somewhere.
- Condensation inside duct board during shoulder seasons. Lake Erie humidity swings in April and October create condensation inside older duct board systems. That damp interior traps fine particulate and, in documented cases, supports microbial growth. Liner assessment is part of a proper cleaning, not an add-on.
Pricing for HVAC Cleaning in Solon, OH
We quote per system, because a Solon colonial with three systems is three jobs, not one. A standard single-system HVAC cleaning in Solon runs $420-$680, including duct cleaning, blower cleaning, and evaporator coil cleaning. Air handler cleaning alone runs $165-$290 per unit, and coil cleaning runs $190-$340 per coil. A full three-system colonial cleaning typically lands between $1,200 and $1,900, depending on duct run lengths, access, and the condition of the duct board liner. What affects the number: the square footage of ductwork, the age and condition of the liner, how many air handlers you have, and whether the coils have ever been cleaned before. We give you a written price before any work starts, and that price doesn’t change at the end of the job. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written estimate on your specific systems.
What Documentation Should You Expect After HVAC Cleaning in a Large Solon Home?
You should receive a photo record of the inside of every duct run, before and after. Not a summary. Not a receipt that says “cleaned.” Actual photographs. At CleanRun, we’ve delivered a Documented Photo Record on every job since 2013. In a 4,200 sq ft colonial off SOM Center Road, our crew used camera inspection to document severe debris impaction at dried and cracked mastic seams in the main supply trunk, then performed source removal with negative pressure and HEPA filtration across all three systems, cleaning the evaporator coils and blower motors and leaving the homeowner with before-and-after photos and a NADCA-compliant report. That’s the standard. If a company can’t show you the inside of your ducts, they can’t show you the work was done.
Beyond photos, you should get a written scope of work before the job and a written warranty when it’s finished. Our 365-Day Done Right Promise is in writing, not subject to manager approval. If the work isn’t right, we come back. That’s the whole point of documenting everything on the front end.

FAQs - HVAC Cleaning in Solon
Each air handler is its own cleaning job. A 3,500 sq ft Solon home with three systems gets three separate prices, one per system, all written before work starts. The alternative is a single “whole-house” price that quietly skips two of the three air handlers or their duct runs. Call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll build a per-system written quote for your specific floor plan.
Because the coil sits downstream of 25-45-year-old fiberglass duct board that’s actively shedding liner material, and it’s running six-plus months a year in Lake Erie humidity. Newer homes have cleaner duct interiors and shorter run seasons. Solon’s older colonials feed decades of accumulated debris directly onto the coil, and that coil never gets a break from the moisture. Cleaning it isn’t a luxury; it’s the only way to keep static pressure down and efficiency up in a system that’s already near the end of its design life.
If your home was built between 1975 and 2000 and still has original duct board, the liner is candidates for failure. Camera inspection will show it. Signs include fiberglass dust accumulating on registers, visible deterioration at seam locations, and musty air during shoulder seasons. We assess liner integrity on every Solon job because the problem is that common here. If the liner is breaking down, cleaning alone won’t fix it; we’ll show you the photos and recommend sealing or repair as a separate line item with a separate written price.
You should receive before-and-after photos of every duct run, a written scope of work, and a written warranty. Specifically: camera inspection images of the trunk line, branch runs, coils, and blower before work begins, then the same set of images after. Plus a report that notes any liner deterioration, seam separation, or other findings. If a company won’t commit to that in writing before the job, don’t book them. Our Documented Photo Record is included on every visit, every time, since 2013.
A single-system HVAC cleaning in Solon runs $420-$680, which is slightly higher than in Cleveland or Maple Heights because the homes are larger, the duct runs are longer, and many systems have three zones requiring separate air handler service. A full three-system Solon colonial cleaning typically lands between $1,200 and $1,900. The cost difference is about system count and square footage, not mark-up.
