Air Duct Cleaning Company in Applewood, CO
Most of the duct work we open up in Applewood was never built to be serviced. The 1950s to 1970s brick ranches and split-levels here were framed with undersized, unlined sheet-metal trunks, short runs, and several small returns, and a lot of them have gone untouched since the house went up. That changes the job. Air duct repair in Applewood is less about vacuuming a modern flex system and more about finding the separated joints, crushed runs, and leaky seams a legacy system develops over decades. Our technicians have up to 12 years of experience with exactly this kind of ductwork. Call (833) 370-4086 for a free estimate.
Why Applewood Homes Are Different
Applewood sits in the Front Range high-desert climate, and that shapes what ends up in a duct system. Winter humidity runs low, spring brings heavy pollen and cottonwood fluff, and summer wildfire-smoke episodes push people to shut their windows and run the furnace and AC hard for weeks. All that fine dust and smoke residue has to settle somewhere, and it settles in the trunks.
The housing stock does the rest. Generous lots and mostly 1950s through 1970s construction mean original galvanized or unlined sheet-metal trunks with short runs and multiple small returns. Then there’s the wave of 1990s and 2000s infill and remodel work, where new flex duct ties into that old system, often with a joint nobody quite sealed. Technicians here regularly pull cottonwood seed packed into outdoor return grilles and condensing-unit cabinets after June, and find original 1960s sheet-metal trunks under slab-on-grade sections that have never been opened since the house was built. In an Applewood split-level, that means a cleaning checklist built around sealing and rebalancing legacy ductwork, not just running a vacuum through it.

Our Main Applewood Services
Clean ductwork and a working dryer vent bring Applewood homeowners to the phone most often, and both need diagnosing before they need cleaning.
Air Duct Cleaning in Applewood
A cleaning in an older Applewood ranch starts with sealing the system so debris doesn’t scatter through the house mid-job, then running Rotobrush and Nikro equipment through the trunks and branches, with Abatement Technologies filtration handling containment. The interesting part in Applewood is the returns. Small, original, and usually where the cottonwood seed and fine dust collect. Cleaning a system like this without addressing the joint gaps and crushed runs means it just re-loads, which is why we check the ductwork structure as part of the clean. For the full process, see Air Duct Cleaning in Applewood.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Applewood
Clogged dryer vents are a documented leading cause of house fires, and Applewood’s older homes often route the vent run long and around framing that wasn’t planned with lint in mind. Low winter humidity doesn’t help either: drier air means more static and a faster lint buildup. We clear the full run, not just the first bend, and check the flap and termination while we’re there. Dryer vent cleaning is a dedicated service for us, not an add-on to the duct invoice. The details are on Dryer Vent Cleaning in Applewood.
Air Duct Repair in Applewood
The Applewood homes that need air duct repair most are the ones nobody has touched in fifty years. Original 1960s sheet-metal trunks under slab-on-grade sections leak at every seam, and the infill and remodel additions of the 1990s and 2000s tie new flex duct into that old system with connections that loosen over time. Add heavy cottonwood season and summer smoke pushing fine particles through the whole network, and you get a system that’s both leaking air and holding it. We treat air duct repair as its own job, not a referral, which is why the same visit can diagnose a crushed run and fix it. For the broader scope, read up on Air Duct Repair.
Ductwork Repair
Signs you need it
If some rooms in your Applewood home never seem to get warm or cool and the rooms that do get too much of everything, or if your energy bill climbs through the cottonwood months with no obvious cause, ductwork repair is worth a look.
What it costs in Applewood
Ductwork repair typically runs $250 – $900 for a spot repair session, and a fully re-sealed legacy trunk is generally $600 – $1,800.
How we do it
We seal the system for containment, run a camera and airflow check through the trunks and returns, then re-seal joints, reattach separated runs, and rebalance the returns on the spot.
Duct Replacement
Signs you need it
When the original galvanized trunk under your Applewood slab has open seams, crushed sections, or so much internal debris it won’t come clean, replacement beats repair.
What it costs in Applewood
Duct replacement generally runs $300 – $1,200 for a run section and $2,000 – $6,500 for a full system replacement, depending on the length and access.
How we do it
We scope the existing layout, cut and fit new duct to match the old runs, seal every joint, then verify airflow and return balance before closing up.
What Air Duct Repair Costs in Applewood
| Item | Typical range in Applewood |
|---|---|
| Ductwork repair (spot repairs, re-seal) | $250 – $900 |
| Legacy trunk re-seal and rebalance | $600 – $1,800 |
| Duct replacement (run section / full system) | $300 – $1,200 per section / $2,000 – $6,500 full system |
Can you repair ductwork without tearing into the walls?
Usually yes. Most Applewood ductwork repair happens through existing access points and trunk openings, with sealing done from inside the run. Full replacement in an older split-level can require more access.
Does sealing old sheet-metal ducts actually lower my energy bill?
Sealing leaky joints in a legacy trunk does cut waste. In Applewood’s older homes, the gains are often noticeable in the room farthest from the furnace first. Call (833) 370-4086 for an exact estimate: ours are free.
Brands We Service in Applewood

- Oscar Guzman"Did the dryer vent while they were here for a small add on price. The dryer now finishes a load in one cycle instead of two."
- Kevin Brooks"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."
