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 Westland
HVAC cleaning in Westland typically runs $320-$680 for a full system cleaning on a ranch or tri-level home, with evaporator coil cleaning adding $140-$240. Most jobs take 3-5 hours, and we schedule Westland work Tuesday through Saturday. If you’re off Ford Road near Nankin Mills or over by Cherry Hill, we’ll walk your duct layout before we quote anything. Call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll put a written price in front of you before a single panel comes off.
Westland’s housing stock is different from what you’ll find ten minutes west. Nearly every ranch and tri-level here was built between 1960 and 1975, and nearly every one still moves air through the same galvanized sheet metal ducts the original owner put in. That changes how cleaning gets done, and most generic quotes don’t account for it.
Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Is Westland’s Preferred HVAC Cleaning Company
We’ve done enough homes along Merriman Road, Palmer, and south of Joy Road to know exactly what we’re going to find before the camera goes in. Westland’s tract-built ranches share a consistent layout: basement gas furnace, galvanized trunk lines, floor-level supply registers. That predictability lets us quote accurately from the first conversation, and our written price is the price. No adjustment after we arrive, no surprise line items. Haven Standard Clause 1 covers that in writing, every job.
Tomas Reyes has run this operation since 2013, and every crew that works in Westland is background-checked, uniformed, and has its name on the work order before we send them out. When a tech shows up at a split-level off Hunter Street, you know who’s in your house. The 365-Day Done Right Promise is in writing on every job, not a line a manager has to approve after the fact.
And the documentation matters. When we finish a HVAC Cleaning job in Westland, you get a photo record of every duct run: before and after, inside the plenum, at the first elbow, down the trunk line. If we say we removed a debris mat, there’s a photo of it. That’s been our standard since 2013, and it’s why homeowners in Westland who research before calling tend to land here.
Our HVAC Cleaning Services in Westland
Evaporator Coil Cleaning
Westland’s humid summers create real problems for evaporator coils in 50-year-old systems. When uninsulated basement duct runs sweat from June through August, condensation drips into the coil area and feeds mold and mildew. We clean the coil in place using compressed air and a biocide treatment that matches manufacturer specifications for the coil’s fin material. On most Westland ranches, this adds $140-$240 to the base cleaning, depending on access.
Air Handler Cleaning
The air handler in a typical Westland basement is original to the house, and it’s been circulating whatever the floor registers pulled in for five decades. Blower wheel, housing, motor, the entire path gets source-removed and cleaned. We photograph the housing before and after. If you live near Dyer or Inkster, you know how tight those basement mechanical rooms are. Our crews are trained to work in them without damaging your furnace or your drywall.
Blower Cleaning
Road salt and pet hair don’t stop at the duct. They get drawn into the blower wheel, unbalance it, and drag down motor life. A loaded blower wheel is common in Westland because floor-level registers sit low enough to vacuum in whatever’s on the floor. We remove the blower assembly, clean the wheel and housing, and put it back with the same torque specs it came with. This isn’t a quick vacuum pass. It’s a component-level cleaning that takes time, and the price reflects that: $110-$180 when combined with a full system cleaning.
Condenser Cleaning
Your outdoor condenser sits through Westland winters, picks up road salt spray if it’s near the driveway, and gets clogged with cottonwood seed in the spring. We clean the coil from the inside out using a low-pressure wash and fin comb, then check refrigerant pressures to make sure the system is moving heat properly. No separate trip needed. We handle it while we’re there for the full Westland system cleaning.

Common HVAC Cleaning Problems We See in Westland Homes
- Debris mats at the first elbow. Ranch layouts with floor-level supply registers pull tracked road salt, pet hair, and lint directly into the trunk line. The first elbow below the register catches it all, and over 10-20 years it forms a compacted mat that restricts airflow. We see this on nearly every 1960s ranch we open up in Westland.
- Condensation-driven mold in basement duct runs. Uninsulated galvanized ductwork in humid Michigan summers sweats. The moisture feeds mildew on the inside of the duct, and the smell circulates every time the blower runs. Evaporator coil treatment and duct cleaning together address it. Cleaning alone won’t.
- Corroded galvanized interiors. Decades of salt particulates don’t just sit in the duct. They oxidize the zinc coating on galvanized steel. We regularly find pitting and rust scale in 50-year-old Westland systems. If the metal itself is failing, we tell you before we clean. A photo record documents what we find.
- Restricted furnace access in narrow basements. Tract subdivisions off Warren Road and Henry Ruff have tight basements with low clearance around the furnace. This makes full negative-pressure extraction slower than in newer construction, and it’s why some generic estimates fall apart when a crew actually arrives. We price based on what we know about Westland’s floor plans, not a phone script.

FAQs - HVAC Cleaning in Westland
Because the register placement changes what collects in the ducts. Floor-level supply registers in Westland’s ranch and tri-level homes vacuum in road salt, pet hair, and debris every heating season. In Canton’s newer homes with ceiling registers, that material stays on the floor and gets swept up. In Westland, it enters the supply trunk lines and settles at the first elbow. A generic cleaning that treats both layouts the same will miss the compaction that forms in Westland’s systems. Call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll explain what your specific layout actually needs.
Every 3 to 5 years for homes with original galvanized ducts and floor-level registers. If you have pets, heavy road salt exposure near a main road, or visible debris around your registers, every 2 to 3 years is more realistic. The air handler and blower motor collect what the ducts pass through. A photo record from your last cleaning will show exactly what accumulated and how fast. Call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll schedule a camera inspection before recommending a cleaning interval.
Yes, partially. The musty smell comes from mold and mildew fed by condensation on uninsulated galvanized ductwork in humid Michigan summers. Cleaning the coils, treating the evaporator, and source-removing the buildup in the ducts reduces the odor. But if the ducts themselves are uninsulated and the basement stays humid, the smell will return unless you also address the moisture. We’ll show you photos of what we found and tell you honestly whether cleaning alone is enough. Call (806) 606-6902 to have a technician out.
They limit setup time and access, not the equipment itself. Our Rotobrush agitation tools and Nikro negative-pressure units are designed for residential access, but maneuvering them around a furnace in a tight basement off Henry Ruff or Palmer takes longer than in a newer Canton basement with more clearance. We build that access time into our Westland pricing. If another company gives you a quote that doesn’t mention your basement layout, the number probably won’t hold. Call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll tell you what the job actually requires.
Yes, if the system is original and you’ve never had it cleaned. In a split-level off Hunter Street, our techs pulled a fused debris mat of road salt crystals, pet hair, and lint from the first elbow below a floor supply register in a 1968 ranch. A camera inspection before cleaning shows whether you have that kind of buildup, whether the galvanized is corroded, and whether cleaning is even the right first step. We include the inspection in the service, not as a separate upcharge. Call (806) 606-6902.
