Trusted Air Duct Cleaning for Sandy Springs Homeowners
Air duct cleaning in Sandy Springs, GA typically costs between $450 and $900 for a full single-family home, depending on the number of vents, the age of the system, and how long it’s been since the last cleaning. Most jobs are completed in four to six hours, and the work comes with a written price before anything starts. At Hollis Air Duct Sandy Springs, we’ve been cleaning air systems since 2004 under the Garrison Partners family, and every job is backed by our 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If the work isn’t done right, we return at no charge. Call (229) 489-7780 to talk to a live person, not a voicemail loop.
Sandy Springs sits in a humid subtropical climate, which means your ductwork works harder here than it would in drier regions. Georgia red clay dust, pollen from the area’s dense tree canopy, and the moisture that builds up around the Chattahoochee corridor all find their way into return registers. Over time, that buildup sits in your supply and return lines and recirculates through the house every time the blower kicks on. We see it in homes off Roswell Road, along Riverside Drive, and throughout the neighborhoods near Abernathy Greenway. The question isn’t whether ducts get dirty in Sandy Springs. It’s how long they’ve been moving that dirt through your living room.
Key Takeaways
- Full home air duct cleaning in Sandy Springs runs $450 to $900 with the price written down before work begins.
- Every job carries the 365-Day Done Right Promise: if it fails within a year, we return free, including a second visit.

Air Duct Cleaning Services
Air duct cleaning services cover the full interior of your supply and return ductwork, including the trunk lines, branch runs, registers, and the air handler cabinet. In a Sandy Springs home, this is the service most homeowners need when they notice dust settling back on furniture within days of wiping it down, or when a musty smell comes through the vents every time the AC cycles on. Hollis Air Duct Sandy Springs runs a negative-air machine with a rotary brush to dislodge and extract what’s built up along the duct walls, then seals the access points we cut and leaves the system moving air freely. Whole-home cleaning runs $450 to $900, quoted in writing before work starts, and every job carries the 365-Day Done Right Promise. To understand the scope of the work, see our detailed page on Air Duct Cleaning in Sandy Springs.
Supply and Return Line Cleaning
Your supply lines push conditioned air into each room, and your return lines pull it back to the air handler. We brush and extract both directions as part of a Full System Cleaning, because half-clean ducts still circulate whatever’s in the path the air takes on its way back. This is the core of any thorough job.
Register and Grille Detailing
Every register gets removed, cleaned, and reinstalled. The openings where conditioned air enters your rooms collect grease, pet hair, and household dust faster than any other part of the system.

HVAC Duct Cleaning
HVAC duct cleaning addresses the ductwork connected to your heating, ventilation, and air conditioning system as one integrated unit, not just the metal tubes behind the walls. In practice, that means we treat the return plenum, the supply plenum, the blower compartment, and the coil area as part of the same air path, because contamination in any one section gets distributed everywhere the air travels. Hollis Air Duct Sandy Springs brings Rotobrush rotary brush systems that scrub the duct walls while a Nikro negative-air machine holds the system under vacuum so loosened debris isn’t pushed into your living space. Full HVAC duct cleaning runs between $450 and $900 for a Sandy Springs home, based on system size and duct length, and that price is on paper before we begin. The work is covered by the 365-Day Done Right Promise, written on every invoice.
Plenum and Air Handler Cleaning
The plenums are the sheet-metal boxes where air gathers before or after passing through the blower. If they’re lined with dust and debris, the cleanest branch ducts in the world won’t keep your air clean at the register.
Coil Area Debris Removal
Debris around the evaporator coil restricts airflow and adds moisture to the airstream. We clear what’s accessible during the cleaning so the system doesn’t keep pushing damp, dirty air through freshly cleaned ducts.
Vent Cleaning
Vent cleaning focuses on the visible openings and the immediate boot connections where your duct runs meet the room. For Sandy Springs homeowners, this is the part of the job you can see and verify, which is why we photograph every register before and after it’s serviced. Hollis Air Duct Sandy Springs removes each vent cover, cleans the boot and the first several inches of duct, and reinstalls it straight. Vent cleaning as part of a full system job is included in the $450 to $900 range, though address-limited vent-only work can be quoted separately if that’s genuinely all the house needs. Every job gets a written price and the 365-Day Done Right Promise before our technicians start.
Boot and Collar Cleaning
The boot is the transition piece between the duct run and the register opening. Dust and pet hair accumulate at the lip and get reintroduced every time air moves through, so this area gets cleaned to bare metal where accessible.
Filter Point Verification
While servicing vents, our technicians check the filter point and note what they see. A clogged filter downstream of clean ducts just re-soils the system within weeks, and we’d rather tell you that on the spot than watch a good cleaning go to waste.
Air Duct Repair
Air duct repair addresses separations, punctures, collapsed sections, and poorly sealed joints that leak conditioned air into attics, crawl spaces, or wall cavities. In Sandy Springs, where summer AC bills climb from May through September, a duct leak can mean paying to cool space you don’t live in. Hollis Air Duct Sandy Springs finds the failure during inspection or cleaning, quotes the fix in writing, and uses duct sealing mastic and mechanical fasteners, not tape that dries out and fails. Air duct repair pricing is quoted per job after we see the damage; it’s not a fixed line item the way cleaning is, and you’ll know the number before any work starts. Repairs fall under the same 365-Day Done Right Promise as cleaning, and if it fails within a year, we come back free.
Joint and Seam Sealing
Metal duct sections separate over time as the house settles and seasonal temperature swings expand and contract the connections. We seal those joints with mastic, which stays pliable and bonds to the metal rather than peeling like foil tape.
Damaged Section Replacement
When a section is crushed, rusted through, or torn beyond sealing, we quote a replacement run. The new section gets fitted to the existing dimensions and sealed the same way the rest of the system should have been from the start.
Ductwork Cleaning
Ductwork cleaning is the branch-and-trunk equivalent of what vent cleaning does at the room level, meaning the full length of every supply and return run from the plenum to the boot. For homes in Sandy Springs built before 1990, this often means addressing 20 to 30 years of accumulated dust, construction debris, and whatever previous renovations left behind inside the runs. Hollis Air Duct Sandy Springs runs a rotary brush through each accessible duct run while the negative-air system maintains negative pressure, so the debris gets pulled to our collection unit instead of blown out your registers. Whole-home ductwork cleaning is priced from $450 to $900, scaled by the number of runs and their lengths, with the final number written down before we touch the system. The 365-Day Done Right Promise applies exactly as it does on every service.
Trunk Line and Branch Run Work
The main trunk line carries the bulk of conditioned air and collects the most debris at its lowest points. Branch runs feed each room, and each one gets brushed independently so we’re not just cleaning the easy sections and calling it done.
Post-Renovation Debris Removal
If you’ve had drywall work, flooring, or any construction done without sealing the registers, construction dust is inside the system. We see this consistently in Sandy Springs homes after remodels off Mount Vernon Highway and along the Dunwoody line.
Air Duct Inspection
Air duct inspection is a camera-assisted look inside your duct runs to identify what’s actually there before any cleaning or repair is quoted. For Sandy Springs homeowners, this turns decisions about cleaning, sealing, or replacing sections from guesswork into something you can see with your own eyes. Hollis Air Duct Sandy Springs runs a camera through the accessible runs, documents the findings, and walks you through what the footage shows. An air duct inspection is included with every cleaning job, and a standalone inspection can be quoted separately; if the inspection leads to a full cleaning, the inspection cost rolls into the cleaning quote. The 365-Day Done Right Promise covers the work we do, and the inspection report gives you the evidence that work was needed.
Pre-Purchase System Evaluation
Before you buy a house in Sandy Springs, know what’s inside the system you’re inheriting. We inspect and report on duct condition, so you don’t discover six months after closing that the previous owner’s three cats left you a legacy inside the return lines.
Verification After Cleaning
After any cleaning, our techs run the camera again to show you the before-and-after difference. You should never have to take a contractor’s word that the work was done. Our approach is to prove it.
Residential Air Duct Cleaning
Residential Duct Cleaning serves single-family homes, townhomes, and condos throughout Sandy Springs, including the neighborhoods around Hammond Park, Lost Forest, and the Ridgeview area. Homes here run their AC hard from late spring through early fall, which means the system moves air, and whatever’s in the ducts, for thousands of hours each year. Hollis Air Duct Sandy Springs arrives with a written quote, runs a negative-air system sized for residential ductwork, and finishes the job with every register put back and the work area clean. Residential cleaning for a typical Sandy Springs home runs $450 to $900, with two to six hours on site depending on house size and duct complexity. The 365-Day Done Right Promise covers every residential job in writing.
Single-Family Home Systems
Most single-family systems in Sandy Springs have one air handler and between 8 and 16 runs. The job is straightforward but methodical, with the brush reaching every run and the negative-air machine running the whole time.
Townhome and Condo Systems
Smaller systems still collect the same debris per square foot of duct surface. We size our approach to the unit, not the price tag, and the written quote stays the written quote.
Commercial Air Duct Cleaning
Commercial Duct Cleaning covers offices, retail storefronts, medical suites, and light industrial spaces in the Sandy Springs perimeter and the surrounding business corridors along Abernathy Road and Peachtree Dunwoody. Commercial systems run longer hours, carry more air volume, and hold more occupants’ dust, skin cells, and airborne debris, which means they need cleaning on a more regular cycle than most homes. Hollis Air Duct Sandy Springs brings commercial-grade negative-air equipment and can schedule work evenings or weekends to avoid disrupting business hours. Commercial duct cleaning is quoted per job based on square footage, system size, and access; range estimates start around $900 and go up from there depending on scope. The written quote and the 365-Day Done Right Promise apply to commercial accounts the same way they do to homeowners.
Office and Medical Suite Systems
Occupant density and long run times make these systems a priority for indoor air quality. We schedule around operating hours and document everything so building management has a record of what was done and when.
Retail and Restaurant Spaces
Retail spaces get more exterior dust from foot traffic and more particulate from point-of-sale traffic patterns. Restaurant systems pick up kitchen exhaust residue that settles into duct walls, and those require a heavier brush pass than office systems.

AfterBrands We Service
Hollis Air Duct Sandy Springs works on systems built around every major HVAC brand, and our equipment list speaks to the standard we hold. Our Rotobrush rotary brush systems are the kind of professional-grade tools commercial crews run, not hardware-store gear. We put a Nikro negative-air machine on every job because the negative-air method is what separates a real cleaning from a surface wipe-down. The brush scrubs the duct walls while the negative-air unit holds the system under constant vacuum, so dust and debris leave through our collection unit rather than drifting into your rooms.
Where filtration matters, we service and recommend components from Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Guardsman, along with Abatement Technologies equipment for more demanding air quality work. Whether you’re running a Honeywell bypass media cabinet, an Aprilaire whole-home filter, or a standard one-inch filter slot, our technicians can assess what’s in place and tell you plainly what’s doing the job and what isn’t. If your system carries any make and model, we can clean it, inspect it, and give you a straight written price for any work it needs.
Signs You Need a Pro Right Now
- Dust comes back days after you’ve wiped everything down. When supply registers push dust past your cleaning efforts, the source is usually the duct interior or a filter that’s been bypassing air. The system recirculates where you can’t reach, which is exactly what a cleaning addresses.
- You can smell something musty only when the AC kicks on. Georgia humidity means moisture gets into ductwork, and wet dust develops an odor that travels every time air moves. It’s not in the air freshener’s range. It’s in the runs.
- Your energy bill ticked up without a change in usage. A duct system packed with debris makes the blower work against resistance. The efficiency hit shows up on the bill long before you see anything visually wrong at the register.
- One or more rooms never seem to reach the thermostat’s set temperature. A closed-off or debris-choked branch run can starve a room of airflow while the rest of the house feels fine. That’s a distribution problem, and often the answer is inside the duct, not the thermostat.
- You found mold, rodent signs, or insect debris near a vent opening. Nothing inside the duct system fixes itself. If you see evidence at the register, what’s further down the line is usually worse and moving through your air.
Our Process, Step by Step
- 1
Written quote before anything else. We inspect the system on site, determine the scope, and give you a written price. That price does not change once the work starts, and it includes everything needed to complete the cleaning by the book.
- 2
Site protection and access points. Our uniformed, background-checked technician lays down floor protection, cuts access points into the main trunk line where needed, and gets the system ready for the negative-air machine. The access points are sealed with proper caps, not left open.
- 3
Negative-air extraction with rotary brushing. The Nikro negative-air unit goes on first, pulling the system under vacuum. Then the Rotobrush rotary brush works through each run, scrubbing the walls while the vacuum captures the released debris at the collection point.
- 4
Verification and reset. We run a camera through the cleaned runs to show you the result, then put every register back, clean the work area, and review what we found with you before leaving. If a filter needs replacing, we’ll tell you plainly and let you decide.
- 5
Written warranty confirmation. Your invoice includes the 365-Day Done Right Promise terms in writing, including the free second visit if anything fails within the year. You leave with a record of exactly what was done, what it cost, and what’s covered.
How Much Does Air Duct Cleaning Cost in Sandy Springs?
A full air duct cleaning in Sandy Springs generally runs between $450 and $900 for a single-family home, depending on system size, number of runs, accessibility, and how long it’s been since the last cleaning. A smaller townhome or condo with six to eight runs typically lands on the lower end, while a larger two-story house with 14 or more runs, deep debris buildup, or tight attic access lands higher. If you’re also having home air quality concerns addressed with filtration upgrades, those components are quoted separately so you always know which dollar amount pays for which work.
What affects the price: the number of supply and return runs, the length of the trunk line, the amount of debris in the system, and whether repairs are needed before cleaning can be effective. Any repair work is quoted as its own line item with its own written price. How to avoid overpaying: get the price in writing before work starts, and ask whether the quote includes every register, both supply and return lines, and the air handler area. At Hollis Air Duct Sandy Springs, the number we write down before the work is the number you pay when the job is done. A free estimate includes a system walkthrough, a written quote, and a plain explanation of what the system needs. Call (229) 489-7780 to schedule yours.

Frequently Asked Questions About Air Duct Cleaning in Sandy Springs
Air duct cleaning is the process of removing accumulated dust, debris, pet dander, and other particulate from the interior surfaces of your supply and return ductwork, including the trunk lines, branch runs, registers, and air handler cabinet. We use a negative-air machine to hold the system under vacuum while a rotary brush scrubs the duct walls, which captures debris rather than pushing it into your rooms. The result is a system that moves air with less resistance and less re-circulated dust.
Most single-family homes in Sandy Springs take between four and six hours to clean thoroughly, depending on the number of runs and amount of debris. Smaller condos and townhomes can run two to four hours. We work until every accessible run is done, not until a clock expires. Call (229) 489-7780 and we’ll give you a realistic time window based on your system.
