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.

Why Coalinga Homes Are Different
Coalinga sits on the western edge of the San Joaquin Valley, where summers routinely push past 100 degrees and the wind carries fine agricultural dust from the surrounding farmland. That combination means your HVAC system works harder than it would almost anywhere else in Fresno County, and the ducts inside your home collect a specific kind of debris: fine silt, crop dust, and the gritty particles that blow in from the fields around town. Homes in older Coalinga neighborhoods, especially the ones built between the 1940s and 1970s near downtown and along Coalinga-Huron Road, often have duct runs that were sealed with materials that degrade in dry heat. We regularly find leaks at the joints where old duct tape has turned brittle and let that agricultural dust bypass the filter entirely.
The housing stock also varies widely. You’ll find compact mid-century homes near the center of town, newer subdivisions on the east side, and larger rural properties on the outskirts where the duct systems are longer and more complex. Each one changes the job: a short run in a 1,200-square-foot home cleans faster than a sprawling ranch house with two HVAC systems and a thirty-foot return. We factor all of that into the written price before we touch a single vent, so there are no surprises once the Rotobrush is in the attic.
Our Main Coalinga Services
Coalinga homeowners call us most often for three jobs: clearing lint-clogged dryer vents, deep-cleaning supply and return ducts, and restoring the HVAC system itself after years of Central Valley dust. Each service has its own Coalinga page with full pricing and detail.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Coalinga
A dryer vent packed with lint forces your dryer to run longer and hotter, and in Coalinga’s dry summers that heat builds fast. The lint that makes its way past the trap into the vent line is fine, fibrous, and extremely flammable, and it accumulates faster when the air outside is already dusty. We run a rotary brush through the full length of the vent, then hook a HEPA vacuum to the exit to pull the loosened debris out of the system rather than pushing it into your laundry room. It’s a straightforward job on most Coalinga single-story homes, and it usually takes under an hour. See Dryer Vent Cleaning in Coalinga for full pricing and what to expect.

Air Duct Cleaning in Coalinga
Full air duct cleaning means cleaning every supply register, return grille, branch line, and main trunk in the system. In Coalinga, what we pull out is mostly fine agricultural dust mixed with pet hair, skin cells, and the occasional surprise like a child’s toy or a mouse nest. We use a Rotobrush rotary brush system to agitate the interior walls of the ductwork while a Nikro HEPA vacuum creates negative pressure at the other end. That negative-pressure extraction means the loosened debris goes straight into the vacuum, not back into your living room. Most Coalinga homes take three to five hours for a complete system. See Air Duct Cleaning in Coalinga for the full breakdown.

HVAC Cleaning in Coalinga
HVAC cleaning goes beyond the ducts to the equipment itself: the blower motor, evaporator coil, condensate pan, and the cabinet that houses them. In Coalinga, the coil is where we see the most damage, because the same agricultural dust that fills your ducts also coats the coil fins and insulates them. That pushes up energy bills and shortens the life of the compressor. We clean the coil with professional-grade equipment, clear the condensate line so it drains properly, and swap in a fresh filter if you’d like one from our truck stock. See HVAC Cleaning in Coalinga for full detail on what’s included.
