Fast, Reliable Air Duct Cleaning Across Fresno
Air duct cleaning in Fresno typically runs $350 – $650 for a full system on a standard single-family home, and most jobs are completed in 4 – 6 hours. If you’re noticing dust blowing from registers the moment the AC cycles on, or if anyone in the house is fighting allergy symptoms that seem worse indoors, the ductwork is probably the culprit. We’re Duct Cleaning Clovis, led by Noel Drummond, and we work throughout Fresno weekly, including Sunnyside, Mayfair, Tarpey Village, and the rural lots ringing 93725 and 93727.

Why Duct Cleaning Clovis Is Fresno’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
We’re based in Clovis, but the bulk of our calls come from Fresno homeowners who’ve been through a low-price cleaning that changed nothing. That experience usually goes the same way: a crew shows up with a basic truck-mount vacuum, runs a brush through the main trunk for 20 minutes, and leaves with the deeper grime still packed against the duct walls. Our approach is different because our equipment is different.
We run Rotobrush brush-contact extraction paired with Nikro HEPA-filtered vacuum systems. That’s the same professional-grade configuration restoration and remediation crews use on water and fire jobs, not a consumer shop vac bolted to a van. For homes with heavier contamination, Abatement Technologies equipment comes out, which changes the standard from surface sweeping to actual source removal. We remove what’s actually in your ducts, not just what’s easy to reach.
Here’s what that means in Fresno specifically. The San Joaquin Valley produces a constant airborne grit load: ag dust, pollen, and winter wood-smoke inversions. Your ductwork acts as a settling chamber for all of it. A surface-level cleaning leaves weeks of that packed sediment in place, and the first hot day pushes it right back through the registers. We see the difference in every camera inspection we run before and after.
Fresno homeowners also tell us the same thing about working with a duct specialist who can repair what they find. Most cleaning-only companies stop at the duct wall. If our footage shows torn flex duct, a disconnected joint, or crumbling insulation, we can fix it on the same visit. Clean ducts. Repaired ducts. One company, start to finish.

Air Duct Cleaning Services in Fresno
Air Duct Cleaning Services in Fresno means a full supply and return side cleaning using agitation tools and HEPA-filtered negative pressure, not a quick pass with a vacuum hose. The job covers the main trunk lines, branch runs, register boxes, and the air handler interior. For a typical 1,500 – 2,200 sq ft Fresno home, expect $350 – $650 depending on system size and contamination level. If the ducts haven’t been opened in 15 years, the price runs toward the top of that range. We quote one flat price per system before work starts, so the number on the invoice matches the number on the estimate.
Residential Duct Cleaning
Most Fresno homes we clean are mid-century ranch and tract builds from the 1940s through 1970s with original galvanized ductwork, or newer north-side flex-duct systems. The older systems collect matted dust and deteriorated insulation inside. The newer ones sag and tear, letting attic debris in at the low points. Both need real mechanical agitation to release what’s adhered, and that’s what our setup does.
Video Inspection
Every cleaning starts with a camera pushed through the supply and return runs. We look for crushed flex, disconnected joints, and internal insulation breakdown before we touch anything. On older central and south Fresno systems in 93701 through 93705, that inspection routinely reveals damage a cleaning alone can’t solve. The footage gets shown to you, so you’re making decisions based on what’s actually in there.
HVAC Duct Cleaning in Fresno
HVAC Duct Cleaning in Fresno goes beyond the ducts themselves and includes the air handler, blower motor, evaporator coil area, and return plenum. On a standard in-town Fresno tract home, expect $400 – $700 for a full HVAC duct cleaning when the air handler is included. Homes with wood heat or heavy ag-dust exposure from unpaved roads run higher because the contamination is denser and takes longer to remove properly. We quote the full scope before we begin, and that flat price per system is the price you pay.
Supply and Return Duct Cleaning
Fresno’s hot summers force your HVAC system to run almost continuously for months. That pulls valley dust and pollen through the return side daily, where it plates onto the duct walls and blower blades. The supply side then pushes whatever the filter didn’t catch into your living space. We clean both sides, not just the returns, because the supply runs are where the problem becomes visible to you.
Full System Cleaning
A full system cleaning in Fresno means supply ducts, return ducts, air handler, blower, and register boxes, with HEPA-filtered negative pressure running the entire time. We also incorporate Guardsman protective products where applicable, adding a sealing layer that keeps dust from re-adhering quickly. For homes on the rural edge of 93725 or 93727 where dust loading is heavier, this is the service we recommend regardless of square footage.
Trusted Brands We Service in Fresno
If your Fresno home runs a Honeywell or Aprilaire whole-home filtration system, we service those units alongside the ductwork. That’s not a universal capability; a surprising number of cleaning crews will clean around your filtration equipment rather than work with it. We’d rather clean the ducts, swap the filter media, and verify the system is pulling air properly. We stock common filter media and replacement parts for Honeywell and Aprilaire units, which means fewer second visits for our Fresno customers and a faster turnaround when your cleaning date lands.

AfterCommon Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Fresno Homes
- Ag dust and pollen packed into return trunks. Weeks of San Joaquin Valley particulate settle inside return lines, especially on rural lots off unpaved roads. This isn’t surface dust; it’s a dense mat that needs mechanical agitation to break free.
- Wood-smoke and ash film coating duct walls. Homes that rely on wood heat through Fresno’s winter inversion season end up with a sticky ash layer inside the ductwork. Vacuum-only cleaning misses it; it has to be agitated off the metal or flex interior.
- Crumbling internal insulation in 1950s – 60s galvanized ductwork. Original systems in central Fresno’s 93701 – 93705 neighborhoods deteriorate from the inside. Without a camera inspection, that crumbled insulation just gets pushed through the registers.
- Sagging flex duct in newer north-side subdivisions. Flex runs installed in 93710 and 93711 homes sag at the low points, collect debris, and sometimes tear. The debris stays packed in those low spots unless the tech specifically targets them.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Fresno, CA
A realistic whole-system air duct cleaning in Fresno costs $350 – $650 for a standard single-family home. If your house sits on a rural lot with unpaved road dust and wood heat, expect $500 – $700, because the contamination is denser and removal takes longer. Outbuilding and detached shop ductwork adds $150 – $300 per structure, depending on run length and access. We do not quote per-vent prices, and we don’t bait you with a coupon figure that balloons once the van is on the driveway. One flat price per system, agreed before work starts.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Fresno
Every 2 – 3 years for homes on unpaved roads or properties with wood heat. Fresno’s problem isn’t mold or humidity; it’s the constant loading of ag dust, pollen, and winter inversion particulate from the San Joaquin Valley. On a rural lot, the return side fills with that grit much faster than a sealed in-town tract home, which can often stretch to 5 – 7 years. If we’re quoting work on a wood-heat property, we’ll recommend budgeting for a shorter interval going forward. Call (855) 661-0630 to talk through what your specific lot needs.
Because settled particulate inside the supply ducts is being pushed out by the blower the instant airflow starts. In Fresno’s long, hot, dry summers, your system runs almost continuously for months, pulling valley dust and pollen through the return side daily. Whatever the filter misses settles inside the supply runs and waits. When the AC cycles on, that dust rides the first burst of air straight into the room. The fix is a full supply and return cleaning with real agitation, not a vacuum pass. Call us for an inspection and we’ll show you the before footage.
Yes, we clean ductwork in detached shops, garages, and outbuildings on rural Fresno lots, typically at $150 – $300 per structure depending on duct run length and access. The drives are longer out to 93725, 93726, and 93727, and we factor that into the schedule rather than rushing the work to get back to town. A shop that shares property with a livestock or orchard operation collects a different kind of particulate than the house, and we’d rather treat it as its own job than a quick add-on. Call (855) 661-0630 and we’ll give you a combined quote for house plus outbuildings.
Wood heat deposits a sticky ash film on the duct interior that standard cleaning jobs miss because it requires agitation, not just vacuum pressure. In a standard Fresno home without wood heat, the contamination is dry particulate that a good negative-pressure setup can extract. A wood-stove or fireplace property adds that adhesive ash layer, plus fine carbon dust that clings to the blower blades and filter media. It means a longer cleaning, a slightly higher price, and the difference between a system that stays cleaner for a while versus one that starts breathing poorly again within months. Call (855) 661-0630 and we’ll tailor the scope to your heat source.
Because original 1950s – 60s galvanized ductwork in central and south Fresno frequently has crumbling internal insulation, rodent debris from orchard-adjacent lots, and disintegrated joints. If you clean that system without looking inside first, you’ll blow the debris through the registers instead of removing it. Our camera inspection takes 20 minutes and gives us a complete picture before we touch a single tool. We show you the footage, explain what we’re seeing, and then do the work. Call (855) 661-0630 to schedule.
