Air Duct Cleaning Company in Selma, CA
Air duct repair in Selma usually means one of two jobs: sealing or replacing duct runs in mid-century ranch homes whose original metal trunks and flex branches have been pulling in Valley dust for sixty years, or replacing sections that have torn, collapsed, or separated in the attic heat. Duct Cleaning Clovis has served Selma since 2012, and the pattern on most repair calls is the same – a system that was installed when the house was built, never sealed, and now leaks conditioned air into a 130-degree attic while pulling hot, dusty air back in. Call (855) 661-0630 if your vents are blowing weak, your rooms heat unevenly, or your registers are buried in fine ag dust week after week.
Why Selma Homes Are Different
Selma sits in the middle of one of the most productive agricultural belts in California. Almonds, peaches, and raisin grapes surround the town on every side, and during the dry months from May through September, the airborne soil and harvest dust from those orchards and vineyards gets pulled into return-air systems on every cooling cycle. Homes immediately downwind of active orchard blocks see a fine, tan layer of hull dust on registers within days of a cleaning – sometimes within a day during almond harvest in late summer. That dust doesn’t just sit on your vent covers. It moves through the return ducts, settles in low spots and corners, and cakes onto the blower fan and evaporator coil.
The housing stock makes this worse. Much of Selma is older single-story ranch and tract construction from the 1950s through the 1970s. Those homes were typically built with rigid metal trunk lines and uninsulated flex branches that have never been sealed at the joints. Decades of forced-air use, attic heat cycling, and zero maintenance means the ductwork in a lot of Selma homes is pulling attic air, ag dust, and whatever else is up there straight into the living space. The long, hot summers force these systems to run almost continuously, so a leaky duct in Selma is moving bad air for thousands of hours every year, not a few hundred. The rare winter tule fog adds a damp period that can leave a gummy residue on the inside of duct runs, which then traps the next summer’s dust even faster. None of this is unusual for Central Valley housing, but the combination in Selma – heavy ag dust, old unsealed ductwork, extreme cooling load – makes these homes among the most contaminated we see in Fresno County.

Our Main Selma Services
Most Selma homeowners call us for one of two reasons: their ducts have never been properly cleaned with professional-grade equipment, or their dryer vent has never been cleaned at all. Here’s what each service involves in Selma specifically.
Air Duct Cleaning in Selma
Cleaning a duct system in Selma means dealing with a specific kind of contamination: fine agricultural soil, hull dust, and harvest particulate that has packed into return runs and settled along the bottom of supply trunks. We run Rotobrush brush-contact extraction through every accessible run and pull the loosened debris into a Nikro HEPA-filtered vacuum system – the same professional-grade setup restoration crews use after fire and water jobs. The result is not a surface sweep. It’s removal of the packed, often damp, sometimes years-old material that keeps recirculating through your home. For a full rundown of what a Selma job includes, see our Air Duct Cleaning in Selma page.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Selma
Dryer vents in Selma are a fire-safety issue before they’re an efficiency issue. Lint accumulates in the vent run, restricts airflow, and creates the conditions where a dryer fire starts; on top of that, the fine Selma dust that settles in laundry rooms finds its way into the vent and mixes with the lint, packing it tighter and hardening it faster. We clean the full vent run from dryer connection to exterior termination, removing the packed material that a basic lint-trap cleaning never touches. The full scope, including why Selma’s harvest season makes annual cleaning the right interval, is on our Dryer Vent Cleaning in Selma page.
Air Duct Repair in Selma
Air duct repair in Selma addresses what happens when sixty-year-old ductwork finally gives out. Homes here were mostly built with rigid metal trunks and flex branches that were run once, never sealed properly, and never maintained. After decades of 100-degree attic conditions, rodent traffic, and the constant movement of dirty air, those ducts separate at the joints, sag, kink, or simply tear open. The result is a system that pulls attic air, loses conditioned air into the insulation, and pushes dust into the house faster than any cleaning can keep up with. We handle the repair side directly – sealing, reconnecting, replacing damaged sections, and where necessary installing new duct runs. If you’ve cleaned your ducts and the dust came back within weeks, the problem is likely a leak or a disconnected run, not the cleaning. See our Air Duct Repair hub for the full scope of this work.
Ductwork Repair
Signs you need it
Rooms that never reach the thermostat setting, registers that blow weak or barely move air, visible dust streaks near vent covers, and a sudden persistent haze in the house after a cleaning are the most common indicators of leaks or separations in Selma homes.
What it costs in Selma
Ductwork repair in Selma typically runs $300 – $700 for small jobs sealing or reconnecting a few runs, and $700 – $1,500 when multiple sections span several rooms.
How we do it
We locate the leak or separation with a visual inspection and pressure testing, then seal joints with mastic or replace damaged flex sections, and finish by confirming airflow at each register.
Air Duct Replacement
Signs you need it
Collapsed flex runs, torn or crushed sections in the attic, ductwork with rodent damage, or trunk lines so loaded with packed dust and debris that cleaning cannot restore proper airflow all point to replacement.
What it costs in Selma
Replacing an entire duct system in a typical Selma ranch home runs $3,500 – $7,500; partial replacement of specific damaged runs falls between $1,200 and $3,000 depending on home size and configuration.
How we do it
We pull the damaged sections, size new runs to the current HVAC equipment, hang and seal the replacement ductwork, and verify balanced airflow at every register before we leave.
What Air Duct Repair Costs in Selma
| Item | Typical range in Selma |
|---|---|
| Small duct repair (sealing, reconnecting) | $300 – $700 |
| Multiple run repair (several rooms) | $700 – $1,500 |
| Full duct system replacement | $3,500 – $7,500 |
What pushes a Selma price to the upper end is usually attic access: low pitch roofs, tight crawl spaces, or blown-in insulation that has buried the duct runs all add labor time. You’ll get one flat price for the repair scope we agree on before any work begins.
Can you repair ducts without replacing the whole system?
In most Selma homes, yes. We replace only the damaged or leaking sections and re-seal the joints where the original installation failed. Full replacement makes sense when the ductwork has widespread damage, heavy internal contamination, or sizing that never matched the HVAC equipment. Call (855) 661-0630 for an assessment.
How long do duct repairs take in Selma?
Most repairs finish in half a day to a full day depending on attic access and how many runs are involved. Full system replacement typically takes one to two days. We schedule Selma jobs with enough time to verify airflow at every register before we leave. Call (855) 661-0630 to scope your job.
Brands We Service in Selma
Our work in Selma regularly touches Rotobrush and Nikro cleaning systems and Guardsman protective treatments, and we service Honeywell whole-home filtration units that pair with your duct system. When a Selma home has an Aprilaire or Honeywell filter cabinet, we have the filter sizes and replacement parts for the common models stocked on the truck, which keeps most filter-service calls to a single visit. See our brands page for the full compatibility list.

Selma pricing moves upward when a home has never had ductwork sealed – a common finding in the 1950s and 1960s ranch stock – because the repair and cleaning work take longer when decades of packed dust and multiple leaks are present. What won’t move is the price after we agree on scope: one flat price per system, set before work begins, no per-vent pricing, no surprise add-ons when the van pulls up.
