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.

Call (806) 606-6902 and you’ll get a live person, a straight answer, and a written scope for the work.
Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Is Tigard’s Preferred HVAC Cleaning Company
Tigard homeowners don’t have to guess whether the cleaning actually happened. Every job we run in this city ends with a Documented Photo Record showing the inside of each duct run before and after, because that’s how we’ve worked since 2013. You see the debris cake we removed from your return plenum. You see the clean evaporator coil. No shop-vac noise and a bill. Haven Standard Clause 1 governs every visit: a written price before any work starts, always.
We’re the company that names what we found, not how we felt about it. The camera showed a three-inch debris build-up at the first elbow behind the furnace. That’s useful information. That’s the kind of record a homeowner in a 1978 split-level off SW Durham Road can hold onto. Tomas Reyes, who runs our crews, insists on it: if we can’t show the work, the work didn’t count.
Our technicians arrive in uniform, background-checked, and identified by name before they walk up your driveway. We answer our own phone, 24/7. And when the job’s done, you get the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing, not as a marketing line. If the work isn’t right, we make it right.
Our HVAC Cleaning Services in Tigard
Evaporator Coil Cleaning
In Tigard homes, the evaporator coil sits in the air handler and collects the same particulate load your ducts do, but with added condensation. During the October-May damp season, that moisture traps dust like wet sand, cutting airflow and driving up run times. Our HVAC Cleaning team pulls the coil access panel, photographs the condition, then performs NADCA-standard source removal to clear the fins. In most Tigard systems we service, a dirty coil is the single biggest airflow restriction in the entire setup.
Blower Cleaning
A dust-caked blower wheel can lose 20-30% of its airflow capacity before the homeowner notices anything beyond a slightly warmer upstairs. We see it constantly in 1970s and 1980s forced-air systems across Tigard, including a Summerfield split-level where the blower motor had accumulated years of dust on the wheel vanes. We clean the wheel, the housing, and the motor, then re-check static pressure. If a blower wheel is too far gone, we’ll tell you and put the replacement in writing.
Condenser Cleaning
Tigard’s wet months leave a fine film on outdoor condenser coils, and the city’s older subdivisions have plenty of units tucked under decks or against fences with poor airflow. We clean the fins with professional-grade coil cleaners and straighten what we can, but we won’t pretend pressure washing a condenser is a full cleaning. The inside of the cabinet, the compressor area, and the coil contact points get the same photo-documented treatment as the rest of the system.
Air Handler Cleaning
Your air handler is the heart of the ducted system, and in Tigard’s 30- to 50-year-old housing stock, it’s often the dirtiest component in the house. We remove the blower, clean the housing cavity, wipe the plenum interior, and photograph each step. A fiberglass-lined air handler from 1978 sheds particulates as the liner degrades. We document that on camera and recommend next steps in writing, not as an upsell but as a record of what’s inside your equipment.

Common HVAC Cleaning Problems We See in Tigard Homes
- Fiberglass liner deterioration. Homes built between 1970 and 1990 in Tigard often have fiberglass-lined sheet metal supply trunks. As the liner breaks down, it sheds tiny glass particulates that bypass standard air filters and recirculate into bedrooms and living spaces. This is a physical contamination issue, not a cosmetic dust problem, and it’s exactly what our cameras are trained to catch.
- Condensation pooling near the Fanno Creek corridor. Neighborhoods like Metzger, Greenway, and the areas along SW Pacific Highway sit close to the creek’s moisture path. Poorly insulated supply runs in crawlspaces pick up condensation during the long damp season, and that moisture becomes the base for mold and bio-film growth inside the ducts.
- Restricted access in tight subdivisions. Bull Mountain’s newer builds and the dense 1970s developments around Tigard High School share narrow driveways and minimal side yards. If a crew can’t get a negative-pressure hose to the right access point, the whole containment setup fails. We plan access before we arrive, not after the truck parks.
- Original ductwork never replaced. Most of Tigard’s single-family stock from before 1990 still runs on its original trunks and branches. Joints separate, flex runs kink, and decades of dust cake settle into horizontal runs. Homeowners often mistake this for normal operation until we show them the camera footage.
Pricing for HVAC Cleaning in Tigard, OR
A full HVAC cleaning for a typical Tigard single-family home, including evaporator coil, blower, air handler, and supply/return duct runs, runs $380-$690. Homes with two systems or extensive flex-duct repairs land above that range. A standalone evaporator coil cleaning in Tigard is typically $180-$320. Blower cleaning on its own runs $120-$200.

Haven Standard Clause 1 is the whole point: one written price per system, agreed before work starts, with no per-vent math and no surprise line items. If you bring a competitor’s written estimate, we’ll put our number next to it in writing, free of charge.

FAQs - HVAC Cleaning in Tigard
Older Tigard systems, especially those installed between roughly 1970 and 1990, typically use fiberglass-lined sheet metal ducts that degrade over time and shed particulates, plus early flex duct that kinks and separates at joints. Newer Bull Mountain construction uses more current materials but still needs inspection for condensation issues. Our techs treat a 1978 air handler in Summerfield differently than a 2015 system on Bull Mountain, because the older unit carries decades of accumulated debris and liner breakdown that a generic cleaning won’t address. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written quote, and we’ll tell you exactly what your system needs based on its age and condition.
The Fanno Creek corridor threads through Metzger and nearby Tigard neighborhoods, holding ground moisture close to crawlspaces and slab perimeters. During the long damp season from October to May, poorly insulated supply runs in those homes collect condensation, which feeds mold and bio-film growth that homeowners often mistake for ordinary dust. Our photo record documents this, and our cleaning protocol includes coil treatment to address the microbial growth. Call (806) 606-6902 to schedule an inspection if your Metzger-area home shows musty air, and we’ll give you a written scope before any work begins.
Summerfield’s 1970s-era homes along SW Durham Road almost uniformly run on original ductwork that has never been replaced. We regularly find fiberglass liner deterioration and decades of dust cake in those systems, including a split-level where a 1978 air handler had a caked blower motor and a supply trunk shedding liner into the airflow. Residents in Summerfield spend more waking hours indoors than average, so degraded duct interiors and the particulates they release become a proportionally larger air quality concern. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written estimate, and we’ll document what your system actually contains.
Yes. In Tigard apartments and condos, access to the air handler and duct runs is often through small closets, shared chases, or locked mechanical rooms, and the building’s schedule governs when we can work. We plan for restricted parking and staging windows, and we still deliver the same written price and photo record per unit. The cleaning itself follows the same NADCA-standard source removal process, but the coordination is more time-sensitive in multifamily settings. Call (806) 606-6902 to discuss your building’s access and get a written quote per unit.
Tigard townhomes often route dryer vents through shared stacks, where one clog affects multiple units and a fire risk in one home becomes a hazard for the whole structure. During our HVAC visits, we inspect the dryer vent run as part of the overall airflow picture, documenting any lint build-up in the shared stack. Lint accumulation in a common stack is a structural fire risk, not just a nuisance, and it needs professional attention when it reaches dangerous levels. If you suspect your shared stack hasn’t been cleaned in years, call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll schedule a documented inspection.
