Air Duct Cleaning Company in Calabasas, CA
Air duct repair in Calabasas usually comes down to two things: long flexible duct runs in large custom homes, and what the Santa Ana winds push into them. We’re Onyx Duct Cleaning, and we handle the full ventilation pathway: cleaning, dryer vents, and the duct repair work that most cleaning-only companies won’t touch. Homes off Mulholland and Las Virgenes collect fine ash and canyon dust that coastal LA never sees, and older duct systems from the 1980s and 1990s building boom often have leaks, crushed sections, or disconnected runs that cleaning alone can’t fix. Call (833) 589-9715 for a free estimate. We answer 24/7.
Why Calabasas Homes Are Different
Calabasas sits in the Santa Monica Mountains, right along the 101 corridor where canyon geography traps smoke and dust in ways the coast doesn’t. Hot, dry summers push HVAC systems hard, and Santa Ana wind events pull wildfire ash and fine particulate into return ducts. After a wind event or nearby fire, we routinely pull visible ash and charred debris from return plenums in canyon-adjacent homes. That means duct cleaning here is less about ordinary household dust and more about post-fire-air-event remediation and smoke-odor removal.
The housing stock adds another layer. Calabasas is dominated by upscale 1980s through 2000s Mediterranean and ranch-style custom homes, many inside gated communities like Calabasas Hills and The Oaks. These houses have multiple HVAC zones, high vaulted ceilings, and long flexible duct runs that add up to far more duct surface area per job than a typical LA-area home. More square footage means more places for debris to settle, more joints that can separate, and more length where airflow gets lost before it reaches a bedroom on the far side of the house.

Our Main Calabasas Services
Most Calabasas homeowners call us for one of two reasons: they want the ducts cleaned after a fire season or renovation, or they want the dryer vent cleared before it becomes a hazard. Both are covered below, each with its own dedicated page.
Air Duct Cleaning in Calabasas
Cleaning ducts in Calabasas means accounting for long runs, multiple zones, and whatever the last Santa Ana event left behind. We use Rotobrush contact-cleaning systems to dislodge debris at the duct wall and Nikro HEPA vacuum equipment to capture particles down to 0.3 microns, so what we extract stays contained rather than recirculating through the house. Homes in canyon-adjacent areas often need smoke-odor treatment along with the mechanical cleaning, especially after wildfire season. For the full breakdown of the process in this area, see Air Duct Cleaning in Calabasas.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Calabasas
Long dryer vent runs are common in Calabasas homes, particularly where laundry rooms sit on interior walls far from an exterior exit. Lint builds up faster in those long runs, and a clogged vent is a fire risk. We treat it like one. Our team clears the full vent path and checks the termination point, which matters in canyon neighborhoods where dry brush sits close to homes.

Air Duct Repair in Calabasas
Air duct repair in Calabasas usually means finding where a system built in the 1980s or 1990s has failed. Long flexible duct runs sag, joints separate, and sections get crushed in attics that bake in the summer heat. Homeowners notice rooms that never reach the right temperature, dust appearing around registers, or higher energy bills than the square footage should produce. We clean what’s in your ducts. We also fix what’s wrong with them. Air Duct Repair is a standalone service for us, not an afterthought, because cleaning around a leak doesn’t solve the leak. In Calabasas, a disconnected return in a canyon-adjacent home can pull wildfire ash directly into the HVAC system, and a crushed supply run means one wing of the house gets conditioned air while another doesn’t.
Ductwork Repair
Signs you need it
Rooms that never reach the set temperature, visible dust around certain registers, whistling from vent openings, or a sudden spike in utility costs all point to leaks or damage in the ductwork.
What it costs in Calabasas
Ductwork repair in Calabasas typically runs $350 to $950 depending on the number of compromised sections and how accessible the attic or crawlspace is.
How we do it
We locate each leak or separation, seal joints with mastic and appropriate mechanical fasteners, and re-support sagging runs so the system holds air the way it should.
Air Duct Replacement
Signs you need it
Crushed or collapsed sections, extensive wear, or ductwork that’s too far gone for repair to make sense means replacement is the honest answer.
What it costs in Calabasas
Air duct replacement in Calabasas typically ranges from $1,800 to $4,200 for a partial system, with full custom-home replacements running higher due to the long runs and multiple zones.
How we do it
We remove the compromised sections or entire runs, install correctly sized replacement duct with proper support and insulation, and verify airflow at each register before we’re done.
HVAC Duct Installation
Signs you need it
New additions, remodels, or homes where the original duct design never matched the system’s capacity often need new duct runs designed and installed.
What it costs in Calabasas
HVAC duct installation in Calabasas generally falls between $2,500 and $6,000 depending on the number of runs, the home’s layout, and whether we’re working around finished ceilings.
How we do it
We plan the run layout, size ducts to the system’s static pressure and airflow requirements, install each section with code-compliant support, and seal every joint.
What Air Duct Repair Costs in Calabasas
| Item | Typical range in Calabasas |
|---|---|
| Ductwork repair (sealing, re-supporting) | $350 – $950 |
| Air duct replacement (partial system) | $1,800 – $4,200 |
| HVAC duct installation (new runs) | $2,500 – $6,000 |
The written estimate sets your final price. HOA requirements in communities like Calabasas Hills sometimes affect exterior work, so we confirm what’s needed before starting any job that touches a roof or exterior wall.
Can you repair ducts without replacing the whole system?
Yes, in most cases. We repair isolated leaks, separated joints, and sagging sections rather than replacing entire runs when the duct itself is still sound. Replacement only makes sense when sections are crushed or deteriorated. Call (833) 589-9715 for an assessment.
How do I know if my ducts are leaking in Calabasas?
Look for rooms that never reach the set temperature, dust accumulation around specific registers, or a visible buildup of fine ash near return grilles after Santa Ana wind events. These are strong indicators. Call (833) 589-9715 and we’ll inspect the system.
Brands We Service in Calabasas
We work across recognized air-quality platforms including Honeywell and Aprilaire filtration systems, which gives our technicians a whole-system understanding rather than a duct-only view.

Yes. After Santa Ana wind events or nearby fires, fine ash and smoke particles settle in return ducts and plenums. Cleaning removes the debris, and we can add smoke-odor treatment for homes where the smell lingers. This is a common request in canyon-adjacent Calabasas neighborhoods.

What Calabasas Customers Say
"Told me straight that our ducts were in decent shape and didn't need doing every year like the mailer companies claim."
- Jodi Gallagher"My wife's allergies had been bad in this house since we moved in. It's been two months since they did the ducts and it's noticeably better. Not a miracle, but real."
- Bryce Norris"Quoted per system rather than the bait and switch per vent pricing everybody else in town uses. The number I was told on the phone was the number on the invoice."
