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 Sunnyvale
Air duct cleaning in Sunnyvale typically runs $350-$650 for a full residential system, and most jobs are scheduled within a few days of your call. If you live in one of the 1950s-1970s Lockheed-era ranch homes that dominate Sunnyvale’s residential core, your ducts may need more than a standard vacuum pass. Original fiberglass duct board turns brittle after decades in hot attics, and wildfire smoke seasons push fine PM2.5 ash deep into systems that were never designed to filter it.
We’re Morton’s Air Duct Cleaning, and we’ve been serving Sunnyvale since 2005 as part of the Cedarwell family of independent companies. Our crews know the difference between a new build off North Collins Road and a 1968 tract home in Lakewood, and we adjust our approach accordingly. Dispatch and scheduling run through our Dallas-Fort Worth office, but the technicians who arrive at your door live and work locally. They know Sunnyvale’s housing stock, its smoke-season patterns, and the specific failure modes that show up in attic-mounted duct systems here. Call (323) 918-4345 to speak with a live person, 24/7, and we’ll book a free estimate that comes with a written price before any work starts.
Why Morton’s Air Duct Cleaning Is Sunnyvale’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
Sunnyvale homeowners call us back because we treat the house like it’s our own.

Every technician is background-checked and uniformed, and every job carries our 365-Day Done Right Promise and the Cedarwell Care Promise.
We know Sunnyvale’s neighborhoods. Our crews have cleaned ducts on Morse Avenue in Lakewood, along Collins Road, and throughout the ranch-home tracts near Sunnyvale Town Center. We understand the local building codes that shaped these homes, and we’ve developed specific protocols for the fiberglass duct board that delaminates in Sunnyvale’s hot attics.
Paul Adeyemi, who leads Morton’s Air Duct Cleaning, built this company on the principle that families deserve to know exactly what will happen in their home and exactly what it will cost before anyone touches anything. No surprises on the invoice. No pressure to add services. Just a written price, professional equipment, and a photo of the clean-up before we leave.
Air Duct Inspection in Sunnyvale
Air Duct Inspection in Sunnyvale is where we always start, because the city’s housing stock demands it. A proper inspection here isn’t a quick flashlight glance. We run a video camera through the full attic duct run to check for delaminated fiberglass duct board, construction debris in newer homes, and wildfire ash accumulation that standard visual checks miss. A typical inspection in Sunnyvale runs $150-$250 and includes a written report with photo documentation.
What We Look For in Older Ranch Homes
In Sunnyvale’s Lockheed-era tracts, we’re hunting for brittle duct board. The original fiberglass lining in these 1960s-1970s homes turns friable after 40-50 years of attic heat cycling. Our camera catches delamination before it starts shedding glass fibers into your air stream. We also map any previous homeowner repairs, which in Sunnyvale often means taped-over gaps from DIY attempts that compromised airflow.
New Construction and Recent Renovations
Sunnyvale’s newer infill homes and additions bring their own inspection priorities. Drywall dust, sawdust, and construction debris frequently remain in supply and return ducts from handover. Builders rarely run source removal before close-out. Our inspection identifies these loads so we can quote proper cleaning rather than a maintenance pass that won’t touch the problem.
Residential Air Duct Cleaning in Sunnyvale
Residential Air Duct Cleaning in Sunnyvale requires different equipment and technique depending on whether your home dates to the aerospace boom or broke ground last year. A full system clean for a typical Sunnyvale single-family home runs $350-$650, with larger homes or systems requiring duct board replacement reaching $800-$1,200. We use Rotobrush agitation tools and Nikro HEPA negative-pressure units, not rental-grade shop vacs, and we seal registers before starting to prevent cross-contamination between rooms.
Cleaning Around Your Family’s Schedule
We know Sunnyvale families run on school schedules, nap times, and pet routines. Our crews work with you to find a window that minimizes disruption. Shoe covers stay on. Drop cloths protect floors. We select quieter tool settings when little ones are sleeping, and we never leave equipment unattended where a curious toddler or anxious dog might encounter it.
The Wildfire Smoke Factor
Sunnyvale’s position in the Santa Clara Valley smoke corridor means your ducts have likely accumulated fine PM2.5 particles from the SCU Lightning Complex, CZU Lightning Complex, or Dixie Fire seasons even if you changed filters religiously. Standard cleaning won’t remove this combustion residue from the air handler, blower motor, or coil. Our full system protocol addresses these components specifically, because otherwise your fresh filters keep clogging and your indoor air quality stays poor on the next AQI 150+ day.
Trusted Brands We Service in Sunnyvale
Our equipment comes from manufacturers who build for professional duct cleaning, not weekend warriors. We run Rotobrush brush-and-vac systems for mechanical agitation in supply and return lines, and Nikro HEPA-filtered negative air machines for containment during disturbance of brittle duct board. For homes with integrated air quality systems, we’re familiar with Honeywell and Aprilaire whole-house units, and we stock common Guardsman fittings and Abatement Technologies replacement media to minimize return trips. This matters in Sunnyvale, where a wildfire smoke event can spike demand and parts availability gets tight. Having the right equipment on the van means we finish your job in one visit, not two.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Sunnyvale Homes
- Delaminated fiberglass duct board in Lockheed-era ranches. The original lining in Sunnyvale’s 1950s-1970s tract homes turns brittle and friable after decades in attic heat. Vacuuming over it without HEPA containment and camera verification just liberates more glass fibers into living spaces. We assess first, then clean or replace.
- Construction debris in new builds and recent renovations. Sunnyvale’s newer homes and additions often have drywall dust, sawdust, and fastener debris left in ducts from handover. Builders rarely run proper source removal. A standard maintenance clean won’t touch this load, and it circulates until removed professionally.
- Wildfire ash saturation in air handlers and coils. Bay Area fire seasons push PM2.5 particles through even sealed systems. In Sunnyvale, we’ve found blower motors and evaporator coils coated with fine combustion residue that standard filter changes don’t reach. This residue keeps circulating and clogging fresh filters.
- Improper DIY repairs blocking airflow. Previous homeowners in Sunnyvale’s aging tracts often taped over disconnected runs or patched holes with materials that degrade. Our camera inspection catches these flow restrictions, which raise energy bills and strain HVAC equipment before we even start cleaning.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Sunnyvale
Yes, and probably more urgently than you think. Construction debris from drywall sanding, sawdust, and fastener particles frequently remain in ducts from the building process. Builders rarely run professional source removal before handover. In Sunnyvale’s newer infill homes, we’ve found supply registers packed with drywall mud that would have circulated for years. Call (323) 918-4345 for a free inspection and written estimate.
The original fiberglass duct board in these homes has often turned brittle and friable after 50+ years in hot attics. Cleaning without camera inspection and HEPA containment risks liberating glass fibers into your air stream. Our protocol includes video assessment first, then negative-pressure containment with Nikro HEPA units if the board is compromised. On a 1968 ranch off Morse Avenue in the Lakewood neighborhood, our tech popped the main return register and found delaminated fiberglass duct board shedding glass fibers into the air stream - the classic Lockheed-era failure. We set up negative pressure with a Nikro HEPA unit, used agitation tools on the supply and return ducts, and ran a camera inspection through the attic run before sealing the compromised board and re-balancing the system at the air handler.
Sunnyvale’s position in the Santa Clara Valley smoke corridor means PM2.5 particles from fires like the SCU Lightning Complex, CZU Lightning Complex, and Dixie Fire penetrate even well-sealed homes and accumulate in ductwork, air handlers, and coils. Standard filter changes don’t remove this residue. We address it with extended HEPA cleaning of the full system, not just the visible duct runs. Call (323) 918-4345 to schedule post-smoke-season cleaning.
Shoe covers and drop cloths go down before equipment comes in. We seal every register to prevent dust migration between rooms. Our tools run on HEPA-contained negative pressure, so what we loosen gets captured, not released. Before leaving, we photograph the clean-up to confirm your home is left better than we found it. The Cedarwell Care Promise requires it.
For Sunnyvale’s smoke exposure, we recommend MERV 13-16 during fire season, provided your HVAC system can handle the static pressure. Higher ratings capture PM2.5 particles but can strain older blowers. After our cleaning, we’ll check your system’s capacity and recommend the right filter for your specific equipment. The wrong filter in an undersized system causes more problems than it solves.
