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 Fairfax Homeowners Choose Lennox Air Duct Cleaning
CleanRun provides independent Air Duct Cleaning services for Lennox systems throughout Fairfax, VA. We work on Lennox systems from the legacy G-series through current Dave Lennox Signature Collection equipment, diagnosing the duct static pressure and coil issues that generic cleaners routinely miss. Call (571) 526-0015 for a written estimate before any work starts.
We’re not affiliated with or authorized by Lennox. We’re an independent service provider offering Lennox in Fairfax and have spent years inside local homes - from the split-levels off Braddock Road to the colonials near Route 236 - figuring out why Lennox variable-speed blowers run constantly, why coils freeze, and why rooms stay hot while the system works overtime. Fairfax’s housing stock is the reason: thousands of post-WWII ranch and split-level homes built between 1955 and 1985 with duct systems never designed for modern airflow demands. Northern Virginia’s brutal pollen season loads those aging ducts with oak and hardwood debris, and humid summers turn that accumulation into a compounding problem no coupon cleaner addresses.
Tomas Reyes, our owner, developed his method photographing every register boot and main trunk line before quoting a single dollar. The camera goes in first. Then we talk.
Why Trust CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Fairfax for Your Lennox Air Duct Cleaning?
We know Lennox equipment the way you know your own house. Our crews have provided Reston Lennox service and cleaned and repaired systems across Fairfax County since 2013 - Merit Series ML180 furnaces in 1960s ranches, Elite EL296V units in 1980s split-levels, and Dave Lennox Signature Collection SLP98V installations in more recent builds. Each series has its own duct pressure characteristics, coil access challenges, and common failure patterns.
Tomas Reyes grew up in Queens, NY, maintaining aging apartment-building HVAC systems with his uncle in Flushing before training in HVAC and building systems technology at Queensborough Community College. That background shows in how our Fairfax crews approach Lennox work: we measure static pressure at the furnace, photograph the evaporator coil through the access panel, and check flex duct runs at the air handler for kinks or collapse before recommending any cleaning scope. We don’t guess. We document.
Our equipment includes Rotobrush, Nikro, and Abatement Technologies systems - professional-grade tools you can look up independently. For Lennox-compatible repairs, we stock OEM-equivalent blower motors, pressure switches, and ignition components. Every technician is background-checked and uniformed under Haven Standard Clause 3: Verified Crews. Every job ends with a Documented Photo Record of every duct run, delivered as a standard deliverable, not an upsell.
Common Lennox Air Duct Cleaning Problems We Fix in Fairfax

- High static pressure from ductwork sized for older PSC blowers. Many Fairfax homes originally had Lennox or predecessor furnaces with single-speed PSC blowers. When a modern variable-speed unit like the EL296V or SLP98V gets installed without duct upgrades, the existing supply and return runs can’t move enough air. The blower ramps up, energy use climbs, and rooms stay uncomfortable. We measure actual static pressure against Lennox specs, then clean and seal the system to reduce resistance or recommend duct modifications when the math demands it.
- Evaporator coil dust matting in cased enclosures. Lennox cased coils - common on XC21, XP17, and higher-series heat pumps - sit in tight enclosures where restricted return airflow causes dust to pack onto fins. In Fairfax’s humid summers, that matting holds moisture, reduces heat transfer, and can freeze the coil. Our full system cleaning includes coil access, fin cleaning, and before/after photography through the cabinet. We don’t just vacuum registers and call it done.
- Collapsed or kinked flex duct at air handler connections. Lennox air handlers in Fairfax attics and crawl spaces often connect to original flex duct that has sagged, kinked at elbows, or partially disconnected. The homeowner gets hot and cold rooms; the blower gets overwork. We photograph every connection, repair or replace damaged flex with proper supports, and seal with professional-grade mastic under Haven Standard Clause 1’s written pricing.
- Leaking cabinet seams and takeoffs. Original mastic and foil tape on Lennox upflow and downflow units dries out after decades in unconditioned Fairfax attics. Conditioned air leaks into spaces that don’t need it; the system runs longer to hit thermostat setpoints. We pressure-test, locate leaks with smoke or thermal tools, and reseal with mesh-reinforced mastic that meets or exceeds OEM specifications.
- Fiberglass liner deterioration in original ductwork. Fairfax’s post-WWII tract homes often have lined metal ductwork where the fiberglass facing has degraded, shedding fibers into airflow and creating a reservoir for pollen and microbial growth. Our negative-pressure extraction systems remove loose debris without damaging remaining liner, and we document condition with camera runs so you see what we see.
Before
AfterLennox Parts & Our Repair-vs-Replace Approach
We use OEM-equivalent Lennox-compatible parts for critical components - blower motors, pressure switches, control boards - sourced to match manufacturer specifications without the OEM parts-network markup. For duct sealing and insulation, we rely on professional-grade mastic, mesh, and foil tape that meets or exceeds what Lennox specifies for their cabinet assemblies.
When we find a cracked heat exchanger, severely corroded coil, or blower housing damage, we give an honest repair-vs-replace assessment. We factor in the unit’s age, the condition of the connected duct system, and whether the existing airflow can support a new variable-speed unit without major duct modifications. No pressure. Written numbers either way. Call (571) 526-0015 and we’ll put our estimate next to any competitor’s written quote for free.
Our Lennox Service Process - Step by Step

- 1
Diagnosis with documentation. We start with a camera run through every accessible duct run, static pressure measurement at the Lennox furnace or air handler, and visual inspection of the evaporator coil through the cabinet access. You get the photos before we discuss scope.
- 2
Written scope and price. Haven Standard Clause 1: we deliver a written price before any work starts. No exceptions. The scope specifies which duct runs, whether coil cleaning is included, and what sealing work the inspection revealed.
- 3
Cleaning and repair. We use negative-pressure extraction with Rotobrush or Nikro equipment sized to the job. Coil cleaning gets done with appropriate fin-safe chemistry for Lennox aluminum coils. Duct sealing uses mastic and reinforced tape, not spray-on gimmicks.
- 4
Testing and verification. We re-measure static pressure, verify temperature rise/drop across the coil, and run the system through heating and cooling cycles to confirm blower operation and room-to-room airflow balance.
- 5
Deliverables and warranty. You receive the Documented Photo Record of every run, the written scope, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If it’s not right, we make it right.
Lennox Products We Service & Install in Fairfax
We work on the full Lennox residential line: Dave Lennox Signature Collection furnaces (SL280V, SLP98V) and AC/heat pumps (XC25, XP25); Elite Series furnaces (EL296V, EL180) and cooling equipment (XC21, XP17); Merit Series furnaces (ML180, ML195) and AC/heat pumps (XC13, XP13). We also service and clean around Lennox Healthy Climate indoor air quality products - MERV-rated media cabinets, HRV and ERV ventilators, and whole-home humidification tied into the duct system.
Our Fairfax warehouse stocks common Lennox-compatible blower motors, pressure switches, and ignition assemblies for faster turnaround on repair jobs. For duct modifications or full replacements, we fabricate sheet metal to fit existing Lennox cabinet dimensions.
We Also Service These Brands

Our technicians are equally experienced with Trane and Carrier systems - their coil designs, blower configurations, and duct pressure requirements differ from Lennox in ways that matter for cleaning scope and repair approach. Multi-brand fluency means we diagnose based on what the equipment actually needs, not what one manufacturer’s playbook suggests.
FAQs - Lennox Air Duct Cleaning Service in Fairfax
Is CleanRun authorized by Lennox?
No. We are an independent Lennox service provider, not affiliated with or authorized by Lennox International. We service Lennox equipment based on hands-on technical knowledge, not manufacturer certification. Our 365-Day Done Right Promise and H.A.V.E.N. Standard govern our work, not Lennox’s warranty network.
Do you use genuine Lennix/OEM parts?
We use OEM-equivalent Lennox-compatible parts that meet manufacturer specifications for critical components like blower motors and pressure switches. For duct sealing and insulation, we use professional-grade mastic, mesh, and foil tape that meets or exceeds OEM specs. We don’t mark up OEM parts-network pricing.
How long does Lennox service take?
A typical full system cleaning and inspection on a Lennox furnace and coil in a Lennox in Centreville or Fairfax split-level or ranch takes three to five hours, depending on duct accessibility and whether coil cleaning or duct sealing is included. We don’t schedule two jobs in one morning. Your crew stays until the work is documented and tested. Call (571) 526-0015 for an exact time estimate based on your system.
What Lennox models do you cover?
We service all current and recent-discontinued Lennox residential lines: Dave Lennox Signature Collection, Elite Series, Merit Series, and Legacy/G-series equipment still operating in older Fairfax homes. We also clean and maintain around Lennox Healthy Climate indoor air quality accessories.
Will service void my Lennox warranty?
Proper duct cleaning and coil maintenance performed by qualified technicians does not void a Lennox warranty. We document our work with photos and written scope, which supports warranty claims if needed. We are not authorized to perform warranty repairs on Lennox’s behalf, but we can identify warranty-eligible issues and direct you to an authorized dealer if appropriate.
How much does Lennox air duct cleaning cost in Fairfax?
Full system cleaning for a typical Fairfax Lennox installation runs $450-$750 for a single-system home, with coil cleaning adding $180-$320 and duct sealing $350-$600 depending on linear footage and accessibility. We deliver a written price before any work starts - no per-vent pricing, no coupon bait-and-switch. Call (571) 526-0015 for an exact quote; estimates are free.
My Lennox furnace has a variable-speed blower and the airflow seems weak - can dirty ducts cause that?
Yes. Dirty ducts, collapsed flex runs, or a dust-matted evaporator coil create resistance that forces a Lennox variable-speed blower to ramp down or run constantly without moving enough air. We measure static pressure to separate duct issues from blower problems. Call (571) 526-0015 for diagnosis.
What is the best way to clean a Lennox evaporator coil in a cased enclosure?
Access the coil through the manufacturer’s service panel, inspect fin condition with a borescope, and clean with low-pressure foaming chemistry followed by gentle rinsing - never high-pressure washing that can bend aluminum fins. We photograph before and after through the access port. This is not a DIY job; the cabinet contains live electrical components and refrigerant lines.
Does Lennox recommend duct cleaning for their Healthy Climate systems?
Lennox specifies regular filter changes and system maintenance for Healthy Climate accessories, but duct cleaning frequency depends on the condition of the connected ductwork, not the IAQ equipment alone. A MERV 16 filter loaded with Fairfax oak pollen won’t help if the return plenum upstream is caked with debris. We inspect the full path.
Can you reroute or repair flex duct connected to my Lennox air handler?
Yes. We repair kinked, collapsed, or disconnected flex duct at Lennox air handlers, add proper supports to prevent future sagging, and seal connections with mastic and reinforced tape. If rerouting is needed for better airflow, we fabricate transitions and document the modification.
Why does my Lennox system get so dusty after a duct cleaning?
It shouldn’t. If dust increases after cleaning, the job was incomplete - likely disturbed debris left in the plenum or a filter not reinstalled properly. Our process includes post-cleaning camera verification and a fresh filter installation. The 365-Day Done Right Promise covers callback resolution at no charge.
