Whole-system duct and dryer vent check with before-and-after photos - you see exactly what came out of your vents
That "$99 whole-house special" is a bait ad - the real number appears once they are in your hallway, or the "clean" is a shop-vac at the register. We photograph the inside of your ducts before and after instead.

AfterFast, Reliable Air Duct Cleaning Across Fresno
Air duct cleaning in Fresno typically runs $350-$650 for a complete residential system, with most homes falling in the $450-$550 range for a full source-removal clean. Our crews dispatch from our Fresno, Central Valley office and cover the full metro, from the Riverstone tracts off Friant Road to the older ranch homes south of Shaw Avenue. Call (323) 918-4345 for a written estimate before any work starts.
We’ve been cleaning ducts in this valley since 2005, and we know what Fresno homes actually contain. The agricultural dust, wildfire smoke, and construction debris from new builds here create a contamination profile you won’t find in coastal California markets. Our Air Duct Cleaning team uses Rotobrush and Nikro equipment with HEPA filtration, and every job carries our 365-Day Done Right Promise stamped on the invoice.
Why Morton’s Air Duct Cleaning Is Fresno’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
Fresno families call us back because we treat the house like it’s our own. Shoe covers and drop cloths go down before the equipment comes in. We work around nap schedules when there’s a toddler down the hall, and we keep the noisy agitation tools brief around anxious pets. Every technician is background-checked and uniformed, working to the Cedarwell C.A.R.E. values that Paul Adeyemi built into this company from day one.
Our reputation here is specific. We get calls from Clovis homeowners who heard about the photo we take before leaving - visual proof the floors are cleaner than we found them. We get referrals from veterinarians in the Tower District who’ve seen pet hair and dander cycles improve after a proper source removal. And we get repeat business from families in the Copper River area who bought new construction and discovered what “clean” actually meant once we showed them the before-and-after.
A live person answers our phone 24/7. Not a chatbot, not a callback queue. When you’re trying to schedule around a Fresno summer where the AC runs 18 hours a day, that matters.
Air Duct Inspection in Fresno
Air Duct Inspection in Fresno should happen before you buy any cleaning, especially in new construction or homes with a musty smell when the system kicks on. Our inspection runs $125-$195 and includes a full video scan of your supply and return ducts, the air handler, and the blower motor. You’ll see what we see - construction debris, rodent activity, flex-duct sagging, or the reddish-tan agricultural soil dust our crews find north of Shaw Avenue.
In Fresno’s climate, inspections pay for themselves. The valley’s extended 100°F summers bake debris onto duct walls, making later removal harder and more expensive. Finding the problem early saves money.
Video Camera Inspection
We feed a lighted camera through your entire duct system and record the findings. You’ll see the drywall dust packed against the blower, the flex-duct sags trapping debris, or the gaps where attic heat has degraded the liner. The video belongs to you - we email a copy with our written recommendation and flat-price quote.
Post-Construction Assessment
New Fresno tracts like Tesoro Viejo and Riverstone need this most. Production builders run the HVAC for verification before final cleaning, pulling unfiltered construction dust deep into the system. Our inspection documents what the builder left behind, which helps with warranty claims and tells us exactly what equipment the clean will require.
Residential Air Duct Cleaning in Fresno
Residential Air Duct Cleaning in Fresno removes the debris your system has been circulating - construction dust in new homes, accumulated valley soil in older ones, pet dander, pollen, and the fine particulate that slips through standard filters. A typical whole-system clean for a Fresno single-family home runs $450-$650, with larger homes or heavy contamination reaching $750-$950. We quote one flat price per system before we start, with no per-vent add-ons or trip charges.
Our process is built for families who live in the house during the work. We seal off rooms not being serviced, run negative pressure HEPA containment, and use quiet agitation tools where we can. The Cedarwell Care Promise means shoe covers at the door, drop cloths under every work zone, and a photo of the clean-up before we leave.
Source-Removal Cleaning
This is the only method we use. Mechanical agitation with Rotobrush contact vacuums and Nikro negative-pressure systems loosens debris and pulls it out through HEPA filtration. We don’t blow compressed air through and call it done - that just relocates the problem. Every supply run, every return, and the air handler itself gets cleaned.
New-Construction Post-Handover Cleaning
Fresno’s newest homes often need this most. Drywall sanding dust, joint compound, and sawdust left in ducts during construction gets baked onto walls during that first summer of continuous runtime. We pull it out before it becomes permanent. One 2021-built home in the Friant Road corridor had white residue filming every return register and a musty blower smell - our camera found construction debris packed against the motor. After negative-pressure HEPA cleaning with agitation tools, the residue and smell cleared completely.
Trusted Brands We Service in Fresno
We clean systems built with Aprilaire media filters, Honeywell electronic air cleaners, and Abatement Technologies HEPA equipment, and we stock common replacement parts for these brands at our Fresno office. That means faster turnaround when your system needs more than cleaning - a failed Aprilaire filter housing or Honeywell air cleaner cell gets diagnosed and addressed in the same visit, not a return trip next week. We also use Guardsman protectants on accessible duct surfaces where appropriate, and our Rotobrush and Nikro cleaning equipment represents the professional standard, not rental-store gear that misses embedded debris.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Fresno Homes
- Construction debris in new-build ducts. Production builders in Riverstone, Tesoro Viejo, and Copper River routinely leave drywall dust and joint compound in supply and return runs, then run the HVAC unfiltered for verification. Homeowners move in breathing that residue for months.
- Flex-duct sagging in 1990s-2000s north Fresno tracts. Builder-grade flex installed with long unsupported runs develops low points where debris pools. A single cleaning pass misses what collects there; we locate the sags and address them specifically.
- Attic heat degradation in 1960s-1980s central and southwest Fresno ranches. Forced-air retrofits through attic spaces where summer temperatures exceed 150°F break down duct liner, creating gaps that accumulate valley dust for decades.
- Agricultural soil infiltration north of Shaw Avenue. Seasonal plowing and wind events drive reddish-tan soil particulates into HVAC intakes - a contamination signature our crews recognize immediately and coastal California technicians never see.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Fresno, CA
Most Fresno homeowners pay between $450 and $550 for a complete residential system cleaning.

What moves the number: the number of HVAC zones, accessibility of the air handler, presence of construction debris requiring extra agitation time, and whether video inspection reveals damage needing repair before cleaning. We give you one written price before any work starts. No per-vent pricing. No trip charges. No invoice surprises. Estimates are free, and we encourage you to compare our written quote to anyone else’s.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Fresno
Yes - especially in Fresno’s new-build corridors, where production construction routinely leaves drywall dust, joint compound, and sawdust in the ducts. The builder should have performed a source-removal clean after HVAC verification but before handover; most don’t. Call (323) 918-4345 for a post-construction inspection if you notice white residue on registers or a musty smell when the system runs.
A proper clean covers every supply run, every return, and the air handler itself using negative-pressure HEPA containment and mechanical agitation - not compressed air alone. We seal off work zones, protect your floors with drop cloths, and email you before-and-after photos. Call (323) 918-4345 to schedule with our written-price guarantee.
Fresno’s San Joaquin Valley location traps agricultural dust, pesticide particulates, wildfire smoke, and Coccidioides fungal spores from disturbed soil - the pathogen behind Valley Fever. The American Lung Association consistently ranks Fresno-Madera among the worst U.S. metros for year-round particle pollution. Our technicians find reddish-tan agricultural soil dust in ducts north of Shaw Avenue, a signature absent in coastal markets. Call (323) 918-4345 if your family has respiratory sensitivity to these valley-specific contaminants.
The builder should have sealed registers during construction, performed HVAC verification with temporary filtration, then completed a full source-removal clean of all supply and return ducts plus the air handler before final walkthrough. Most Fresno production builders skip the final clean or clean only visible supply runs, leaving debris in returns and the blower. Call (323) 918-4345 and we’ll document what’s actually in there.
Look for white or gray dust filming return registers, a musty or chemical smell when the air handler starts, reduced airflow in specific rooms, or excessive dust accumulation on furniture within weeks of cleaning. Our $125-$195 video inspection confirms it visually. Call (323) 918-4345 to book - estimates are free and you’ll see exactly what we find.
