Air Duct Cleaning Company in Boulder, CO
Air duct repair in Boulder starts with the house, not the duct. The city’s Mapleton Hill and Whittier bungalows run on short sheet-metal runs and undersized filters, and the east-side ranches often still carry original gravity furnace ductwork that leaks at every joint. Add the spring cottonwood fluff that loads return grilles along Boulder Creek and the dry, static-prone air at 5,400 feet, and you get systems that lose airflow quietly. We clean, repair and unclog what’s already there. Call (866) 361-9658 to book an estimate.
Why Boulder Homes Are Different
Boulder sits at roughly 5,400 feet, and the air up here behaves differently than it does at sea level. Winter humidity is low, and the Foehn downslope winds coming off the Flatirons dry things out further, which keeps dust and lint suspended longer and lets it settle into filter frames and return boxes instead of drifting out of the system. Spring flips it: upslope snow, then cottonwood fluff, then summer afternoon storm inflow that pushes fine grit and pollen straight into the returns.
The housing stock splits the work two ways. Mapleton Hill and Whittier hold 1900s to 1940s bungalows with original sheet metal or retrofitted flex duct, often short-run and low-static. Table Mesa and South Boulder sit on post-war ranches. Gunbarrel and the east side have newer construction. Many of these homes run sub-800 CFM systems with minimal filtration, so the honest fix is usually cleaning, sealing and restoring airflow rather than selling a full replacement.

Our Main Boulder Services
Two of our core services cover most of what Boulder homeowners call about.
Air Duct Cleaning in Boulder
In Boulder, cleaning is as much about seasonal allergen load as it is about dust. Spring fluff and upslope wind push pollen into return-air grilles faster than in neighboring Front Range towns, and once it’s in a low-static system it stays. We run contact-and-capture cleaning: Rotobrush brush agitation to physically dislodge debris, paired with Nikro HEPA vacuum extraction to pull it out rather than stir it around. For homes near the Boulder Creek corridor, that cycle repeats every late-May cottonwood season. Reach our Air Duct Cleaning in Boulder page for the full process. Our technicians have up to 10 years of experience.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Boulder
Dryer vents here face a specific problem: dry winter air plus heavy lint generation in tightly sealed modern homes on the east side and in Gunbarrel. When the exterior vent flap or intake screen clogs, the dryer runs longer, and that extra run time drives heat back into the duct. We clear the full run from the dryer connection to the exterior termination, including the longer flex paths common in retrofitted bungalows. See our Dryer Vent Cleaning in Boulder page for details on the service line we use.
Air Duct Repair in Boulder
Air duct repair in Boulder is usually an airflow problem before it’s a cleaning problem. The city’s short, low-static duct runs, undersized filters and leaky plenums mean a system can be spotless and still deliver weak, unbalanced air. That’s the job we handle through Air Duct Repair: finding the leak or restriction, then fixing it.
We repair what we find rather than flagging it and leaving. That covers sealed connections at plenum and trunk joints, reconnected or resealed flex runs in retrofitted bungalows, corrected returns, and repaired or replaced sections where the original duct has failed. On the older Mapleton Hill and Whittier homes, the most common calls are leaking joints at short runs and ductwork that’s been cut into for a renovation and never properly reconnected.
Boulder’s terrain and climate add their own layer. Upslope wind in spring loads return grilles with pollen and cottonwood seed, and when a return is undersized or leaking at the box, the grille pulls unfiltered air from the mechanical space. Foehn winds and low winter humidity keep dust airborne so it finds every gap. When we’re already in the system for repair, we can install Honeywell or Aprilaire filtration so the equipment matches the load. For contamination scenarios – post-renovation fallout, mold-affected runs – we bring Abatement Technologies air-filtration equipment.
Ductwork Repair
Signs you need it
You notice uneven airflow between rooms, visible gaps or disconnected sections at flex joints, whistling or rattling at registers, or dust reappearing on surfaces days after cleaning.
What it costs in Boulder
Ductwork repair typically runs $250 to $900 depending on how many joints or sections need attention, with the written estimate setting the final price.
How we do it
We pressure-check the system, locate the leaks or separations, then reseal, reconnect or rebuild the affected sections and verify airflow at the registers before we leave.
Duct Replacement
Signs you need it
The original ducting has deteriorated past patching – crushed flex, collapsed runs, or 1950s gravity furnace ductwork leaking at nearly every seam.
What it costs in Boulder
Duct replacement typically ranges from $1,500 to $4,500 depending on how much of the system is replaced and access to the runs, with the written estimate setting the final price.
How we do it
We remove and dispose of the failed runs, install the new ductwork sized to the system, seal every connection and check static pressure so the replaced system actually breathes.
What Air Duct Repair Costs in Boulder

|---|---|
| Ductwork repair | $250 – $900 |
| Duct replacement | $1,500 – $4,500 |
| Full system cleaning with repair | $450 – $1,200 |
Can you repair air ducts and clean them in one visit?
Yes. We repair and clean in the same visit when the system allows it, which saves you a second appointment and means the repaired runs don’t get re-contaminated by dirt we left behind. Call (866) 361-9658 for a quote.
How do I know whether my Boulder ducts need repair or just cleaning?
Repair is the answer when there’s a leak, separation or restriction – not just buildup. Uneven airflow between rooms, whistling at registers or dust returning days after cleaning point to repair. Call (866) 361-9658 and we’ll diagnose it for free.

What Boulder Customers Say
"Job was done well and the house smells better. There was some dust knocked loose around a couple of the registers that I had to wipe down afterward."
- Karen Yang"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."
- Roger Hoffman"They photographed every return and supply before starting and sent me the file afterward. No upsell to a sanitizing treatment I didn't need."
