AfterHow Much Does HVAC Cleaning Cost in Clovis?
HVAC cleaning in Clovis typically runs $450 to $1,200 for a full residential system, with most single-family homes landing between $550 and $800. That covers supply and return ducts, registers, grilles, the blower compartment, and the air handler. Dryer vent cleaning adds $125 to $225 on its own, and air duct repair, where damage is found, is quoted separately once we’ve scoped it.
Those numbers reflect what professional-grade equipment and a full-scope inspection actually cost. A $99 coupon cleaning is a different service entirely: surface debris knocked loose with a shop vac, nothing sealed off, nothing repaired. If you’ve already paid for one of those and your ducts still smell musty, this page is for you.
Key Takeaways
- Full HVAC cleaning in Clovis: $450 to $1,200, most homes $550 to $800.
- Dryer vent cleaning: $125 to $225 depending on vent run length and lint volume.
- Duct repair, when damage is found, is quoted separately: typical sealed-duct repairs run $200 to $600 per area.
- Cost is driven by number of vents, system size, accessibility, and contamination level, not by square footage alone.
- Cleaning without repair capability means a second contractor and a second invoice. We handle both.
HVAC Cleaning Cost Breakdown (2026)
Here’s how the line items break out in the Clovis market this year. These are the ranges we quote and stand behind.
| Service | Typical Price Range | What’s Included |
|---|---|---|
| Air duct cleaning (up to 10 vents) | $450 – $650 | Supply and return lines, registers, grilles, blower compartment, HEPA-filtered extraction |
| Air duct cleaning (11 – 20 vents) | $650 – $950 | Same scope, larger system, additional trunk and branch coverage |
| Full HVAC cleaning with air handler | $750 – $1,200 | Ducts plus air handler, evaporator coil access, blower, filtration housing |
| Dryer vent cleaning | $125 – $225 | Full lint removal, vent run brushing, exterior termination check |
| Air duct repair (per damage area) | $200 – $600 | Sealing, reconnecting, or replacing damaged duct sections discovered during cleaning |
| System inspection (credited toward cleaning) | $0 – $95 | Camera scope of duct runs, contamination assessment, written estimate |
The biggest driver of cost is not the size of your house. It’s the number of supply and return vents, how accessible the duct runs are, and how much contamination has built up. A 1,400-square-foot Clovis home with eight vents in a simple layout can land at the low end. A 2,800-square-foot home with vaulted ceilings, multiple returns, and flex duct in hard-to-reach attic space will be higher. When the blower compartment or air handler is visibly contaminated, that adds work and time.
What separates our pricing from a low-ball quote is the equipment. We bring Rotobrush brush-contact extraction and Nikro HEPA-filtered vacuum systems into your home. These are the tools restoration crews use after water damage or fire recovery, not the shop-vac setups some cleaning outfits run. Abatement Technologies equipment appears in our lineup because contamination removal requires a remediation-level standard, not just loosening debris and pulling it through a machine. If you want to understand what full-scope cleaning actually involves, the HVAC Cleaning in Clovis service page walks through our process step by step.
What Affects HVAC Cleaning Pricing in Clovis
Five things move the price up or down. They apply across every part of Clovis, from Old Town bungalows to newer builds out toward the 168 corridor, and none of them are guesses.
- Number of vents and duct runs. A system with 8 registers costs less to clean than one with 18. Each branch and trunk line has to be reached, sealed, and extracted individually, so count is the single biggest lever on a quote.
- System layout and access. Attic duct runs, crawlspace routing, and flex duct tucked behind knee walls take more time. In older Clovis homes, retrofitted flex runs sometimes route through spaces that require careful maneuvering just to reach the connection points.
- Contamination level. A lightly dusted system wipes down and cleans in a few hours. A system with visible debris, rodent activity in the ducts, mold growth, or years of accumulated lint requires more extraction passes and, if mold is present, consideration of whether the home‘s duct materials can be cleaned or need replacement.
- Whether repair is needed. Cleaning alone doesn’t fix disconnected joints, crushed flex sections, or leaking seams. If ducts are damaged, that gets quoted as a separate repair because the fix is structural, not cosmetic. We handle repair in-house, which means no second contractor and no lost time waiting for someone else to come out.
- Integrated whole-home filtration. If you run a Honeywell or Aprilaire filtration system, the filtration housing and filter slot need to be included in the scope. We work with both brands and integrate that into the cleaning rather than cleaning around it.
- Dryer vent condition and length. A short vent run straight to an exterior wall is at the low end. A long run with multiple elbows and heavy lint buildup, which happens in many Clovis two-story homes with second-floor laundry rooms, adds time and cost. Lint buildup in a dryer vent is a documented fire hazard, and we treat it that way, not as a quick add-on.
How Does Dryer Vent Cleaning Fit Into the Price?
Dryer vent cleaning in Clovis runs $125 to $225 and is a separate scope from HVAC cleaning, though many homeowners bundle it with a duct cleaning appointment to avoid a second visit. Bundling usually reduces the total because we’re already there.
The cost driver is straightforward: vent length, number of elbows, and how much lint has accumulated. A short run with one 90-degree turn and light lint cleans quickly. A long run with three or four elbows and lint packed down the length of the pipe takes longer and needs full brush-contact extraction, not a flexible rod with a shop vac on the end.
Dryer vents aren’t a comfort issue. They’re a fire-safety issue. Lint is highly combustible, and buildup along the vent run is a leading contributor to residential dryer fires. If your dryer takes longer than it used to or the exterior flap doesn’t open fully during a cycle, that’s worth a vent inspection. We also clean dryer vents for rental property managers who need a documented service for their files.
How to Save on HVAC Cleaning
There are practical ways to keep the total lower without cutting into the work that actually matters.
- Bundle dryer vent cleaning with duct cleaning. Since we’re already on site with the equipment, adding the dryer vent is less than a standalone call.
- Get the inspection and the quote together. A free or credited inspection that produces a written, itemized estimate avoids surprises when you’re standing in the van. Call (855) 661-0630 and we’ll scope it before anyone touches a duct.
- Address small repairs early. A disconnected joint or crushed flex section costs $200 to $600 to repair now. Left alone, it lets debris and unfiltered air back into the system, which can mean a repeat cleaning or, worse, damage to the air handler and evaporator coil.
- Don’t skip the air handler. Cleaning ducts but leaving the blower and coil coated in debris is a half-finished job. If you’re going to clean, clean the whole system.
- Ask about home-filtration compatibility. If you have a Honeywell or Aprilaire system, mention it up front so the filter housing and slot are included in one quote rather than added later.
Is It Cheaper to Repair or Replace Your Ducts?
Repair is almost always cheaper than replacement. A typical sealed-duct or reconnect repair in Clovis runs $200 to $600 per damaged area, while full duct replacement can run into the thousands depending on system size and material. Repair capability is the main reason to pick a specialist who can do both.
Most of what we find in Clovis homes is fixable without tearing apart the system: a joint pulled loose, a flex section crushed or kinked, a seam that’s been leaking for years. Cleaning without repair leaves the underlying problem in place. You’ll get the same musty smell back within months. We fix the damage, then clean, and you don’t have to schedule a separate contractor for the repair. If you’re wondering whether repair is even the right call, our team can look at a scope video and give you a straight answer before you spend anything.
Why Choose a Specialized HVAC Cleaning Company Over a Low-Price Generalist?
A specialized HVAC cleaning company brings equipment, process controls, and repeatable results. A generalist with a shop-vac truck broom does surface debris removal and moves on. The difference shows up in the months after the service, not the day of it.
Here’s what that looks like in practice:
- Equipment built for the job. Rotobrush brush-contact extraction actually agitates and removes material from inside the duct wall, not just the air stream. Nikro HEPA vacuums hold airborne contaminants during the process so they don’t cycle back into your living space.
- Contamination remediation standard. Abatement Technologies equipment is part of our lineup because duct cleaning should meet the standard used in restoration work, where contamination removal has documented health and safety implications. For a deeper look at what that standard means, our guide to HVAC cleaning safety standards in Clovis homes covers the equipment side.
- Protection after cleaning. We incorporate Guardsman protective products into service. Cleaning removes what’s there; a protection step reduces how quickly the system fouls again, especially in homes with pets or located near open lots where dust is heavier.
- Whole-home filtration integration. If your system runs Honeywell or Aprilaire filtration, we clean within that setup. We don’t pull the filtration housing and leave it, and we don’t clean around a filter slot that should be part of the scope. Cleaning works with your filtration system, not around it.
- Repair, cleaning, and dryer vents in one company. Three categories, one team, no subcontractors. When something turns up during cleaning, we quote the repair and schedule it. You’re not calling around.
How Often Should Clovis Homeowners Get HVAC Cleaning Done?
Most Clovis homes should have ducts cleaned every 3 to 5 years, with dryer vents cleaned every 1 to 2 years. Homes with pets, recent renovation work, or visible contamination may need more frequent cleaning.
The interval is driven by what’s in the system. A home with two long-haired dogs and a freshly remodeled kitchen is going to pack its return ducts faster than an empty house. Clovis also sits in an area with seasonal dust and pollen loads that push indoor particulate counts up through spring and fall. If filter changes come out heavily loaded more often than usual, that’s a sign the ducts themselves are holding material.
We can scope your system and give you an honest read on timing, not a pitch to clean on a fixed schedule. Some homes are fine waiting. Some need it now. We’ll tell you which one yours is.
FAQs – HVAC Cleaning Cost in Clovis
How much does HVAC cleaning cost in Clovis?
HVAC cleaning in Clovis typically costs $450 to $1,200, with most single-family homes in the $550 to $800 range. The quote depends on vent count, system layout, and contamination level. Call (855) 661-0630 for a free itemized estimate so you know the real number before anyone shows up.
Is air duct cleaning worth the cost?
Yes, when the ducts are actually dirty. At $450 to $1,200, cleaning pays back through better airflow, lower filter replacement frequency, and reduced strain on the air handler. If your ducts are lightly dusty, a professional cleaning might not be the right spend yet, and we’ll tell you that. If they’re contaminated, it’s the difference between cleaning and replacement, which runs into the thousands. Call (855) 661-0630 and we’ll scope yours honestly.
How long does HVAC cleaning take?
A typical Clovis home takes 3 to 5 hours for duct cleaning and about 1 hour for dryer vent cleaning. Larger systems with vent counts above 16, or homes where duct repair is being done alongside cleaning, can take 6 to 8 hours. We schedule a full block so the crew has time to do it properly rather than rushing the extraction. Call (855) 661-0630 to schedule.
Do you charge extra for duct repair?
Yes. Duct repair is quoted separately from cleaning because it’s a structural fix, not a cleaning step. Typical repairs run $200 to $600 per damaged area. We scope the repair during the inspection or cleaning, give you a written quote, and schedule it without involving a second contractor. Call (855) 661-0630 and ask for a scope-based quote that includes any repair needs up front.
Can I just clean my own ducts to save money?
Not effectively, and not safely with consumer equipment. Shop vacuums and retail duct brushes don’t have the airflow or HEPA containment to pull contamination out of a system without releasing it into the room, and they can’t reach the trunk lines or agitate the duct wall the way Rotobrush brush-contact extraction does. For a system with real contamination, the result is usually a surface job that looks fine and then smells the same within weeks. Call (855) 661-0630 for a professional scope and estimate.
Do you clean dryer vents too?
Yes. Dryer vent cleaning runs $125 to $225 in Clovis, and bundling it with an HVAC cleaning appointment keeps the total lower than booking them separately. Lint buildup along the vent run is a documented fire hazard, not a minor inconvenience, so it’s worth doing on its own schedule even when your ducts are fine. Call (855) 661-0630 to add it to your appointment.
Do you work with Honeywell and Aprilaire systems?
Yes. If your home runs a Honeywell or Aprilaire whole-home filtration setup, we include the filtration housing and filter slot in the cleaning scope. We clean within your system, not around it, so filtration performance isn’t compromised by the cleaning visit. Call (855) 661-0630 and mention your system when you schedule so the crew brings the right equipment.
