Fast, Reliable Air Duct Cleaning Across Clovis
If your Clovis home smells musty when the AC kicks on, or if a thin layer of valley grit reappears on furniture days after dusting, your ducts are likely carrying more than conditioned air. Our Air Duct Cleaning team works throughout Clovis – from the newer subdivisions east of Clovis Avenue to the ranch homes near Old Town – removing what’s actually built up inside the ductwork, not just what’s visible at the register. We use Rotobrush brush-contact extraction and Nikro HEPA-filtered vacuum systems, the same professional-grade tools restoration crews use, not consumer shop vacs. Call (855) 661-0630 for a free estimate and a straight answer on whether your ducts need work.
Why Duct Cleaning Clovis Is Clovis’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
Clovis homeowners call us when they’re done guessing. Maybe a previous cleaning changed nothing, or a home inspector flagged flex duct issues in the attic. Our work starts with a video inspection before any cleaning begins. You see what we see. That’s rare in this trade, but it changes how the whole job goes.
Led by Noel Drummond, our technicians know Clovis housing stock specifically. We understand that a tract home built in 2005 off Shepherd Avenue has different ductwork problems than a 1960s ranch on Pollasky Avenue. That local knowledge means we don’t run the same generic process everywhere. We address what your house actually needs.
Most Clovis jobs are completed in a half day to a full day, depending on system size and condition. We don’t upsell what isn’t there. If your ducts are clean but a return run is disconnected in the attic, we’ll tell you that instead of cleaning around it and leaving the real problem in place.

Air Duct Inspection in Clovis
Air Duct Inspection in Clovis is where we start, and it’s worth doing before any cleaning quote. A camera pushed through your supply and return runs shows exactly what’s coating the duct walls: construction dust, pet hair, valley silt, or in some Clovis homes, nothing at all worth cleaning. We’ve inspected ducts in two-year-old houses that were spotless, and ducts in five-year-old houses that looked like they’d never been touched. The inspection tells us which one you have.
Video Camera Walkthrough
Our inspection uses a high-resolution camera fed through the full duct system. You watch the screen with us. We mark problem areas – punctures, disconnects, crushed flex duct, debris buildup – so you’re not taking our word for it. In Clovis tract homes, we frequently find flex duct that has separated at the plenum boot in the attic, which explains why one bedroom stays hot while the rest of the house cools fine.
Post-Cleaning Verification
After the cleaning is done, we run the camera again. You get a before-and-after look at your own ducts. If something didn’t come clean, we say so and address it. This verification step matters because it’s the only honest way to know the work was actually done. A typical inspection-only visit in Clovis runs $95 – $150, and we credit that amount toward a full cleaning if you book within 30 days.
Residential Air Duct Cleaning in Clovis
Residential Air Duct Cleaning in Clovis means full source removal, not register-level vacuuming. We connect a Nikro HEPA-filtered negative-air vacuum to your supply plenum and feed Rotobrush agitation tools through each run to break debris loose from duct walls. The vacuum pulls it into a sealed filtration unit while the brushes do the scrubbing. In Clovis homes where flex duct has baked in 130°F attic heat for a decade, this mechanical agitation is what actually removes the hardened film that lighter methods leave behind.
Supply and Return Source Removal
We clean both sides of the system. Supply runs carry conditioned air into rooms. Return runs pull stale air back to the handler. Both accumulate material, but for different reasons. Supply runs in Clovis get gritty particulate from the valley air working past the filter. Return runs collect household debris – pet dander, skin cells, dust from carpet and tile. A full residential cleaning in Clovis typically runs $400 – $700 for a single-system home, with larger two-story homes or multiple return drops pushing that up to $800 – $900. The price is set per system before we start, not per vent.
Air Handler and Blower Motor Cleaning
The air handler is where much of what settles in your ducts first gets pulled in. We open the cabinet, clean the evaporator coil, blower motor, and drain pan. In Clovis, where AC runs hard six months a year, these components get coated with the same fine grit that fills the ductwork. Skipping the handler means you’re moving clean air through a dirty blower wheel – and swallowing the fan motor with a new filter’s worth of dust all over again.
Trusted Brands We Service in Clovis
Our equipment lineup matters because it signals the standard of work we perform. We run Rotobrush and Nikro systems, and we use Abatement Technologies negative-air machines on contamination-sensitive jobs. On the residential side, we service and integrate with whole-home filtration setups from Honeywell and Aprilaire, and we apply Guardsman protective products when a customer wants a sealing layer inside the plenum after cleaning. We don’t clean your ducts and ignore the filter housing, UV system, or media cabinet – we work with your Honeywell or Aprilaire system, not around it. Most common parts are on our trucks, which means we finish most Clovis jobs in one visit.

AfterCommon Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Clovis Homes
- Construction dust baked into new-build flex duct. Homes built in the last two decades in Clovis often left the builder with drywall dust and debris still sitting in the supply and return runs. The first hot summer bakes that layer onto the Mylar walls. By year three, the house is circulating construction grit even with clean filters.
- Flex duct sagging, kinking, or disconnected in the attic. Clovis tract home attics sit at 130°F-plus in July. That heat softens and warps flex duct over the years. We find runs crushed under insulation, kinked at turns, and separated at plenum boots. The homeowner notices uneven airflow and dust – not a ruined duct – until we show them on camera.
- Valley particulate packed into return duct corrugations. The San Joaquin Valley inversion traps agricultural dust, pollen, and smoke at ground level. That fine material settles into the ribbed walls of return flex duct. Vacuuming registers and changing filters doesn’t touch it. Only mechanical agitation inside the duct run removes what’s packed into those corrugations.
- Older ranch homes near Old Town with decades of layered deposits. Mid-century homes in central Clovis often have aged sheet-metal trunk lines and years of accumulated pet hair, dust, and debris. These systems need a heavier cleaning pass than a newer flex-duct home – and often have never been properly cleaned since the house was built.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Clovis, CA
Air duct cleaning in Clovis runs $400 – $700 for a typical single-system tract home of 1,800 to 2,600 square feet. Larger homes with two systems or multiple return drops fall in the $700 – $900 range. Older ranch homes near Old Town Clovis with long metal trunk lines can sit at the upper end of that scale because the ductwork is harder to access and holds more material. Inspection-only visits run $95 – $150. We quote one flat price per system before any work begins – no per-vent math, no surprise add-ons once the van is in your driveway.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Clovis
It’s more likely than most homeowners expect. Builders in Clovis don’t clean ducts at handover. Drywall dust, sawdust, and insulation fragments left in the supply and return runs get baked onto flex duct walls during the first summer, when attic temperatures run past 130°F. We’ve inspected 2017 and 2018 builds near Temperance and Shepherd with coated duct walls worse than some 20-year-old homes. The only way to know is a camera inspection. If the ducts are dirty, we clean them. If they’re clean, we tell you that too and leave. Call (855) 661-0630 to schedule an inspection.
The most common cause we find in Clovis tract homes is a flex duct run in the attic that’s sagging, kinked, or disconnected at the plenum boot. A disconnected run in the attic means the conditioned air meant for one bedroom is blowing into the attic instead, while that bedroom pulls unfiltered attic air. That’s why one room is dusty and the airflow is weak, while the rest of the house seems fine. Cleaning the ducts won’t fix a disconnect – but our inspection will catch it, and we reconnect and seal the run as part of the repair work. Call (855) 661-0630 and we’ll put a camera on it.
Clovis sits in the San Joaquin Valley’s inversion layer, which traps dust, agricultural particulate, wood smoke, and pollen at ground level for months at a time. Your HVAC system pulls that air through the return side and pushes it through supply ducts constantly. The result is a fine, sticky grit that packs into flex duct corrugations and coats the blower motor and evaporator coil. Most Clovis homes need duct cleaning every 3 to 5 years, but homes near agricultural fields or with pets may need it more often. If you’re replacing filters monthly and still seeing dust, the buildup is likely inside the ducts, not in the air.
For most Clovis homes with a standard 1-inch filter slot, MERV 8 is the sweet spot. It catches the larger valley dust and pollen without choking airflow to the point that the system runs inefficiently. If you have a Honeywell or Aprilaire media cabinet that can handle a thicker filter, a MERV 11 or 13 is appropriate here – especially during fall, when agricultural burning and wood smoke get trapped under the inversion layer. Avoid running MERV 13 in a standard 1-inch slot in Clovis. The dust load is high enough that the filter loads quickly and the pressure drop strains the blower. We can tell you what your system can safely run when we inspect it.
Yes, but it requires the right tools and the right technique. Mylar-lined flex duct isn’t rated for aggressive wire brushes or high-pressure air scouring. We use Rotobrush agitation heads sized for flex duct, run at a controlled speed, paired with Nikro HEPA-filtered negative air. The combination removes the baked-on debris without tearing the inner liner. Cheaper cleaning setups or careless technicians can puncture or separate flex duct. We see the results of that in Clovis attics regularly. Our repair team fixes those too.
If your Clovis home is moving dust, smelling stale, or just doesn’t cool evenly, start with an inspection. Call (855) 661-0630 for a free estimate and a straight answer. We serve the entire Clovis area – from newer subdivisions east of Locan to the established streets around Old Town.
