Air Duct Cleaning Company in Van Nuys, CA
Air Duct Repair in Van Nuys starts with a simple truth: most of the ductwork here was installed between 1945 and 1965, and a lot of it is still in service. We see original sheet-metal runs and early flex duct that were undersized even when they were new. The valley dust finds every seam, and when a duct tears or separates, that dust gets pulled straight into the air you breathe. We fix the duct itself, not just the air moving through it. Call (833) 589-9715 for a free estimate.
Why Van Nuys Homes Are Different
Van Nuys sits at the heart of the San Fernando Valley, where postwar tract homes from the 1940s through 1960s still use original or lightly updated forced-air ductwork. The valley’s notorious dust and seasonal winds push fine grit through every seam, making duct work less a luxury and more a recurring maintenance need. Summer highs often exceed 100°F, which keeps HVAC systems running hard from May through October and accelerates dust buildup inside ducts. When wildfire smoke settles into the valley basin, homeowners in Van Nuys are left urgently seeking duct cleaning and filtration to keep indoor air breathable. The bowl geography traps pollen, dust, and smoke residue, especially during Santa Ana wind events in the fall. A single-story ranch on a corner lot off Vanowen faces a different airflow pattern than a mid-century apartment complex along Van Nuys Blvd, but both share the same grit. Most of the homes we work in still have their original return vents facing the prevailing winds off the Sepulveda Basin, which means post-wildfire ash becomes an indoor problem fast.

Our Main Van Nuys Services
The two services Van Nuys homeowners call about most are air duct cleaning and dryer vent cleaning, each with its own dedicated page covering local conditions, pricing, and what the job involves.
Air Duct Cleaning in Van Nuys
Van Nuys homes accumulate dust faster than most valley neighborhoods because of the bowl geography and the age of the ductwork. We run a Rotobrush contact-cleaning system through every run, dislodging debris at the duct wall rather than just agitating it, while a Nikro HEPA vacuum captures particles down to 0.3 microns so nothing gets recirculated into your living space. After a wildfire smoke event, this is the service that gets your indoor air back to normal. See the full breakdown at Air Duct Cleaning in Van Nuys.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Van Nuys
Your dryer vent is a fire risk. We treat it like one. Lint builds up faster in Van Nuys because dryers work harder in the hot valley air, and the longer the vent run, the more lint settles inside. We clean the full run from the dryer to the exterior vent cap, removing the packed lint that reduces airflow and creates a fire hazard. Single-story ranch homes often have short vent runs, but apartment complexes along Van Nuys Blvd frequently have long, shared runs that need real attention. See the full breakdown at Dryer Vent Cleaning in Van Nuys.
Air Duct Repair in Van Nuys
Air Duct Repair in Van Nuys is different from cleaning because it addresses what is wrong with the duct itself. Homes built between 1945 and 1965 often have original sheet-metal runs or early flex duct that has been patched, crushed, or simply worn out. The valley’s heat and dust accelerate every failure mode: joints separate, flex duct tears, and sheet-metal rusts at the seams. When a duct leaks, the air you paid to condition ends up in the attic or crawlspace instead of your living room. That is why we are a dedicated Air Duct Repair contractor, not a cleaning company that will ignore a broken duct and call it done. We clean what is in your ducts. We also fix what is wrong with them.
Ductwork Repair
Signs you need it
Rooms that never reach the right temperature, a sudden jump in your utility bill, dust blowing from registers, or a musty smell from the vents all point to a compromised duct run.
What it costs in Van Nuys
Ductwork repair in Van Nuys typically runs $350 – $750, depending on how many runs are torn, crushed, or separated and how accessible they are.
How we do it
We inspect the full duct path, locate every separation or tear, remove the damaged section, and install new material sealed with mastic and foil tape before reconnecting the run.
Air Duct Replacement
Signs you need it
Rusted-through sheet metal, collapsed flex duct, or runs that are too leaky to patch point to replacement rather than repair.
What it costs in Van Nuys
Air duct replacement in Van Nuys typically runs $850 – $1,600 for a partial system, while a full-home replacement starts around $2,200 and goes up from there.
How we do it
We remove the failed duct material, install correctly sized replacement runs, seal every connection, and verify airflow at each register before we leave.
What Air Duct Repair Costs in Van Nuys
| Item | Typical range in Van Nuys |
|---|---|
| Ductwork repair | $350 – $750 |
| Air duct replacement (partial) | $850 – $1,600 |
| Full-home duct replacement | $2,200 – $4,800 |
How do I know if my ducts need repair or just cleaning?
Cleaning addresses what is inside the duct. Repair addresses the duct itself. If you see dust blowing from registers, feel weak airflow, or smell musty air, you likely have a leak or tear that cleaning will not fix. Call (833) 589-9715 and we will help you figure out which one you need.
Will duct repair fix uneven temperatures between rooms?
Often, yes. A disconnected or crushed run starves the rooms it feeds. Repairing that run restores airflow and balances temperatures. Call (833) 589-9715 for a free estimate.
Brands We Service in Van Nuys
We work with Rotobrush and Nikro equipment on every job, and our technicians understand filtration systems from Honeywell and Aprilaire, along with Abatement Technologies containment standards. That means we can talk intelligently about your whole air-quality setup, not just the duct interior. See our brands for details.

What Van Nuys 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."
