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.

AfterAir Duct Cleaning in Tysons Corner, VA
HVAC cleaning in Tysons Corner typically runs $400-$950 for a whole-system job, with fan coil unit systems in newer high-rises priced separately from traditional forced-air ductwork. We’re CleanRun Duct Repair & Cleaning, and we dispatch crews to Tysons Corner from our Washington, DC office. Every job starts with a written price before work begins, and every duct run is photographed before and after. Call (240) 771-1508 for a free estimate.
Why Tysons Corner Homes Are Different
Tysons Corner’s building stock splits sharply between two eras. The 1970s-1980s office towers along Route 7 and the Beltway contain aging ductwork that often hasn’t been serviced since original construction, with enclosed skybridge connections from 1980s-1990s expansions creating shared plenum pathways that spread contamination across supposedly separate HVAC zones. Meanwhile, the luxury high-rise condominiums built after 2014 around the Silver Line Metro stations use fan coil unit systems, not traditional forced-air ductwork, requiring entirely different cleaning approaches.
The decade-long Metro-driven redevelopment has compounded this. Active high-rise construction sites adjacent to occupied buildings pump drywall particulate, concrete dust, and insulation fibers into nearby HVAC intakes. In the DC metro’s hot, humid summers with dewpoints in the low-to-mid 70s°F, aggressive air conditioning in older buildings not designed for modern cooling loads creates persistent condensation inside duct systems, accelerating mold and microbial growth in any run that hasn’t been cleaned in years.
Our Main Tysons Corner Services
These are the three services Tysons Corner property managers and homeowners request most often.
Air Duct Cleaning in Tysons Corner
We clean traditional forced-air ductwork in the older office and residential buildings along the corridor, using negative-pressure extraction to pull debris from the entire run. In buildings with shared plenum systems from later expansions, we map the actual airflow pathways before starting so contamination isn’t pushed into adjacent zones. Air Duct Cleaning in Tysons Corner
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Tysons Corner
High-rise condominiums present unique vent routing challenges, with dryer ducts often running multiple stories through shared chases. We use rotary brush systems and camera verification to clear lint buildup in long vertical runs where standard shop-vac methods fail. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Tysons Corner
Duct Repair & Sealing in Tysons Corner
Older commercial buildings frequently show separated flex duct, corroded metal seams, and failed mastic from decades of thermal cycling. We repair and seal with materials rated for the temperature swings these systems experience, then pressure-test to verify. Duct Repair & Sealing in Tysons Corner

BeforeAfterHVAC Cleaning in Tysons Corner
HVAC cleaning in Tysons Corner means addressing two distinct building eras: the aging central systems in 1970s-1980s towers, where evaporator coils and blowers carry years of construction dust and microbial growth from condensation-heavy summers, and the fan coil units in post-2014 high-rises, which need coil and blower access in tight mechanical closets. The Silver Line construction dust and shared plenum expansions mean contamination here spreads differently than in typical suburban systems. HVAC Cleaning covers our full methodology for both system types.
Evaporator Coil Cleaning
Signs you need it
Ice buildup on the coil, weak airflow from registers, or musty odors when the AC cycles on in July humidity.
What it costs in Tysons Corner
Evaporator coil cleaning typically runs $180-$340 for accessible residential units; commercial coils in ceiling-mounted air handlers or fan coil closets range $280-$520.
How we do it
We access the coil through the plenum, apply foaming cleaner, rinse with low-pressure water capture, and photograph the before and after condition for the job record.
Blower Cleaning
Signs you need it
Vibration noise from the air handler, uneven airflow between rooms, or dust puffing from registers when the system starts.
What it costs in Tysons Corner
Blower cleaning runs $150-$280 for standard residential blowers; commercial blowers in rooftop or basement mechanical rooms range $220-$400.
How we do it
We remove the blower assembly, clean blades and housing with compressed air and contact vacuum, balance the assembly on reinstallation, and document RPM and amp draw.
What HVAC Cleaning Costs in Tysons Corner
| Item | Typical range in Tysons Corner |
|---|---|
| Evaporator coil cleaning (residential) | $180-$340 |
| Evaporator coil cleaning (commercial/fan coil) | $280-$520 |
| Blower cleaning (residential) | $150-$280 |
| Blower cleaning (commercial) | $220-$400 |
| Full HVAC system cleaning (traditional ducted) | $400-$950 |
| Fan coil unit cleaning (post-2014 high-rise) | $320-$680 |
How do I know if my Tysons Corner building has a fan coil unit or traditional ductwork?
Fan coil units have a small cabinet in each unit’s closet with a coil and blower, no basement furnace or attic air handler. Traditional ductwork has a central unit with metal or flex ducts running to each room. We verify system type before quoting.
Can construction dust from nearby Silver Line work damage my HVAC system?
Yes, fine particulate from active sites clogs filters, coats coils, and accelerates blower motor wear. We find elevated debris in buildings within two blocks of major construction. Call (240) 771-1508 for an inspection and written quote.
Air Quality & Sanitizing in Tysons Corner
Air quality and sanitizing in Tysons Corner addresses the microbial fallout from two local conditions: the persistent condensation in aging duct systems during humid summers, and the construction dust that provides organic material for mold and bacteria growth. Post-2014 high-rises with fan coil units face their own challenge, tight mechanical closets with limited airflow that trap moisture around coils. Air Quality & Sanitizing details our full protocol.
Mold Treatment
Signs you need it
Visible black or green growth on registers or in the plenum, or a persistent earthy odor that intensifies when the AC runs.
What it costs in Tysons Corner
Localized mold treatment runs $280-$550 for residential systems; whole-building treatment in commercial properties with shared plenums ranges $850-$2,400.
How we do it
We apply EPA-registered antimicrobial through the duct system using controlled fogging equipment, with containment barriers to protect occupied spaces, then verify clearance with air sampling.
UV Light Installation
Signs you need it
Repeated mold recurrence after cleaning, or a medical recommendation for immunocompromised residents in the household.
What it costs in Tysons Corner
UV-C light installation at the coil or in the return plenum runs $320-$580 for residential units, including the lamp and electrical connection.
How we do it
We mount a UV-C lamp with sight glass for future inspection, wire to the blower circuit for automatic operation, and provide replacement schedule documentation.
What Air Quality & Sanitizing Costs in Tysons Corner
| Item | Typical range in Tysons Corner |
|---|---|
| Localized mold treatment (residential) | $280-$550 |
| Whole-building mold treatment (commercial) | $850-$2,400 |
| Bacteria sanitizing (whole system) | $220-$480 |
| UV-C light installation | $320-$580 |
| Air purifier install (in-line) | $450-$890 |
Is mold in my ducts dangerous, or just unpleasant?
Active mold growth releases spores that irritate airways and can trigger asthma or allergic responses; in immunocompromised individuals, certain species pose serious health risks. We treat all confirmed growth, not merely surface staining. Call (240) 771-1508 for testing and a written scope.
Will UV lights actually prevent mold in Tysons Corner’s humid climate?
UV-C at the coil surface inhibits mold growth by breaking cellular DNA, but it does not filter spores from air. We install UV as part of a maintenance protocol, not a standalone solution, and specify lamp replacement at 9,000 hours.

We stock parts and service equipment from Aprilaire, Abatement Technologies, and Guardsman, with filter media and UV lamps carried on every Tysons Corner truck for same-visit replacement. Most common components are available without a return trip. See our brands for the full roster.
