Air Duct Cleaning Company in Fort Collins, CO
Air duct repair in Fort Collins starts with a simple truth: this city’s ducts take a beating that ducts in most places don’t. Between wildfire smoke drifting off the Front Range in summer and winter inversions that hold fine particulate down in the Cache la Poudre valley, the ductwork in a Fort Collins home collects far more than household dust. Add a large share of 1960s to 1990s ranch and split-level homes with original galvanized or early flex systems, and you get loose joints pulling attic and crawlspace air into living space. We repair and clean duct systems with commercial-grade equipment – Rotobrush, Nikro, Abatement Technologies – and we diagnose what’s broken before we clean around it. Call (844) 834-5984 for a free estimate.
Why Fort Collins Homes Are Different
Fort Collins sits in a high-desert valley, and that geography shapes the work more than most homeowners realize. In winter, temperature inversions trap fine particulate matter close to the ground along the Cache la Poudre corridor. In summer, wildfire smoke from the nearby mountains drifts in and settles. Spring and fall bring strong winds that push pollen and dust straight into return-air intakes. Duct cleaning here is seasonal health maintenance, not a cosmetic line item.
Housing stock matters just as much. Fort Collins has a large share of 1960s to 1990s ranch and split-level homes with original galvanized steel or early flex duct. Those older runs often have loose joints at the plenum and in unconditioned attic space, which means the system pulls in attic and crawlspace air instead of just recirculating conditioned air. Over in the newer tight-build homes in the southeast and northeast parts of Fort Collins, the problem looks different: less infiltration, but dust and smoke residue accumulate in the returns with nowhere to escape. Same city, two different diagnostic conversations. West-side homes near the foothills tend to hold smoke odor longest, because residue settles in the cooler basement runs.

Our Main Fort Collins Services
Two jobs come up most often when Fort Collins homeowners call us, and they’re worth separating clearly because the equipment and the goal are different.
Air Duct Cleaning in Fort Collins
Cleaning a duct system in Fort Collins means agitation first, then HEPA extraction, then containment so nothing you just loosened ends up back in the room. We run Rotobrush brush-and-vacuum systems through the trunk and branch runs to break loose embedded residue, and Nikro HEPA units to pull it out and hold it. After a smoke event, standard vacuuming won’t kill the odor – residue that’s settled in the cooler basement runs needs a treatment specific to smoke, not a pass with a shop-vac. If you want the full process walkthrough, see Air Duct Cleaning in Fort Collins.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Fort Collins
A clogged dryer vent is a fire risk, and we treat it like one. Lint packs into the rigid and flexible runs behind the dryer and along the exterior chase, and in Fort Collins homes where the laundry sits on an interior wall, that run can be long and full of elbows where lint collects fastest. We clear the full length of the vent, not just the first few feet you can reach, and we check the exterior termination for the damper and screen problems that cause backups. The dedicated page covers what we check and why: Dryer Vent Cleaning in Fort Collins.
Air Duct Repair in Fort Collins
Air duct repair in Fort Collins is usually a housing-era story. In the city’s 1960s to 1990s ranch and split-level homes, original galvanized duct and taped joints have had decades to separate, and the seasonal swing between dry high-desert winters and summer smoke events works those seams loose. The result is a system that leaks conditioned air into the attic and pulls crawlspace air back in. Repair is how you close that loop. We handle everything from sealing a failing joint to replacing a run outright, and you can read the full scope on our Air Duct Repair page. Our technicians have up to 12 years of experience diagnosing exactly this kind of compromised ductwork.
Ductwork Repair
Signs you need it
You notice rooms that never get comfortable, a whistling or rattling at the register, visible tape peeling at a joint, or dust returning within days of a cleaning.
What it costs in Fort Collins
Ductwork repair in Fort Collins typically runs $250 to $800 depending on how many joints or sections need sealing and whether the run is accessible from the attic or requires opening a wall; the written estimate sets the final price.
How we do it
We inspect the accessible runs with the system off, map every disconnected or leaking joint, seal or reattach what we can reach, and verify airflow at the registers before we leave.
Air Duct Replacement
Signs you need it
Early flex duct that’s collapsed, torn, or crushed behind a wall, or galvanized runs that have rusted through or come apart in more places than patching can reasonably fix.
What it costs in Fort Collins
Air duct replacement in Fort Collins is typically $1,200 to $4,500, driven mostly by the number of runs, the duct material chosen, and how much wall or ceiling access the layout requires; the written estimate sets the final price.
How we do it
We size the replacement runs to the existing system, remove the failed duct, install and seal the new material, and confirm static pressure and airflow match what the equipment expects.
What Air Duct Repair Costs in Fort Collins
| Item | Typical range in Fort Collins |
|---|---|
| Ductwork repair (sealing, reattaching, patching joints) | $250 – $800 |
| Air duct replacement (per run, material and access dependent) | $1,200 – $4,500 |
| Full duct system inspection and diagnostic | $150 – $350 |
Do Fort Collins homes with original 1970s ductwork always need replacement?
No. Most original galvanized systems in Fort Collins can be sealed and repaired rather than replaced. Replacement is reserved for crushed flex, rusted-through steel, or runs that have failed in too many places to patch reliably. We diagnose first and tell you which category you’re in.
Can you repair ducts damaged by wildfire smoke residue?
Repair addresses structural problems – separated joints and crushed runs – while smoke residue is a cleaning and treatment job. Fort Collins homes near the foothills often need both: seal the leaks, then treat the residue. We handle the repair side and the smoke treatment in one visit where the scope allows.
Brands We Service in Fort Collins
We work with Honeywell and Aprilaire indoor air quality components, the two names most Fort Collins homeowners already recognize, and we service and install around them so duct cleaning and whole-home air quality stay connected instead of separate projects. We also use Nikro and Abatement Technologies equipment in the work itself. You can see the full list on our brands page. Turnaround depends on part availability and is confirmed in your estimate.

- Adriana Ramirez"Two guys, about three hours, plastic down at every register, and they wiped the vent covers before putting them back."
- Michelle Rhodes"Found a disconnected run in the crawlspace while they were in there and told me about it rather than cleaning around it."
