Air Duct Cleaning Company in Panorama City, CA
Air Duct Repair in Panorama City usually means working on duct systems that have been moving air since the Nixon administration. Most homes off Van Nuys Boulevard and Roscoe Boulevard were built between 1950 and 1975, and a lot of that original galvanized ductwork is still in place: rusted at the seams, crushed in attic corners, and patched with whatever tape a previous handyman had in the truck. We’re Air Duct Cleaning Reseda, and we’ve served Panorama City since 2011. Call (855) 353-1653 if you suspect your ducts are leaking more air than they deliver.
Why Panorama City Homes Are Different
Panorama City is a San Fernando Valley heat pocket. Summer highs sit over 100°F for weeks at a time, which means AC systems run almost without stopping from June through September. That constant cycling pulls dust, grit, and pollen through return grilles and packs it into duct interiors faster than in coastal neighborhoods. Add the seasonal winds that blow fine particulate off the valley floor, and ductwork here collects a specific kind of compacted, clay-like dust that needs mechanical agitation to remove, not just vacuum suction.
The housing stock compounds the problem. Mid-century ranch homes in the 91402 and 91412 ZIP codes typically have attic-mounted furnaces feeding long rigid galvanized trunk lines. Those trunks were decent when installed, but six decades of thermal expansion and contraction have opened gaps at every joint. Apartment buildings along Van Nuys Boulevard add another layer: many share a single rooftop or attic HVAC serving multiple units through long, poorly sealed runs. Tenants in one unit complain about weak airflow while the real restriction sits in a neighbor’s clogged return. For us, duct cleaning in Panorama City is usually a restoration job as much as a cleaning job. We find crushed flex runs, disconnected boots, and return cavities packed with decades of debris. Cleaning around those problems doesn’t fix them.

Our Main Panorama City Services
Homeowners and property managers in Panorama City call us most often for two services: a full air duct cleaning to address years of accumulated debris, and dryer vent cleaning to reduce fire risk and speed up dry times. Each has its own dedicated Panorama City page with pricing and process details.
Air Duct Cleaning in Panorama City
Most Panorama City duct systems we open up haven’t been cleaned since they were installed. In a 1960s ranch home, that means forty or fifty years of dust, pet hair, construction debris, and in some cases vermin droppings inside the return and supply runs. We run Rotobrush rotary brush systems through every accessible duct, paired with Nikro HEPA-filtered vacuums that pull loosened debris out rather than pushing it into living spaces. The full Panorama City scope, pricing, and what to expect are on the service page at Air Duct Cleaning in Panorama City.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Panorama City
Dryer vents in Panorama City apartments and older homes usually vent through the roof or a side wall, and the runs are often longer than current code allows. Lint accumulates at every bend, and the San Fernando Valley’s dry, hot air bakes it into a hard, flammable crust. That restriction makes dryers run longer, which raises energy costs and heats the lint further. We clean dryer vents with mechanical brushes and high-pressure air, confirming airflow at both ends before we leave. Details and local pricing are on the Dryer Vent Cleaning in Panorama City page.
Air Duct Repair in Panorama City
Air duct repair in Panorama City is rarely a small job once we get into the attic. The original galvanized trunk lines in these mid-century homes are often intact but leaking heavily at the seams, while the flex runs added during later retrofits are frequently kinked, crushed, or disconnected entirely by years of attic heat and storage activity. A duct system leaking 25% or more of its conditioned air means the AC runs longer, the temperature in the back bedrooms never quite reaches the thermostat setting, and the electric bill climbs every summer. We clean first, then we repair what the cleaning exposes. That’s the order that matters, because you can’t properly seal a duct that’s still packed with debris. For the full repair scope, see Air Duct Repair.
Ductwork Repair
Signs you need it
Rooms that never reach the thermostat temperature, visible gaps or hanging sections in attic ductwork, and dust blowing from supply registers right after cleaning are the typical Panorama City indicators of compromised duct joints and runs.
What it costs in Panorama City
Ductwork repair in Panorama City typically runs $290 – $680 depending on how many sections need re-sealing, re-supporting, or re-connecting.
How we do it
We locate leaks and disconnections with a duct pressure test, then seal joints with mastic or foil tape, re-support sagging runs, and reattach boots that have pulled away from the registers.
Air Duct Replacement
Signs you need it
Crushed flex runs, rusted-through galvanized sections, and duct interiors coated with residue that cleaning cannot fully remove indicate replacement rather than patchwork repair.
What it costs in Panorama City
Replacing a section of ductwork in a Panorama City attic typically costs $1,450 – $2,900 depending on run length, accessibility, and whether we’re replacing flex or rigid metal.
How we do it
We remove the failed section, size the replacement to the existing system’s airflow requirements, install the new run with proper support and sealing, and re-test the system for balanced airflow.
Ductwork Installation
Signs you need it
Homeowners adding square footage, finishing an attic, or replacing an entire failed system in an older Panorama City home need new ductwork designed for the present floor plan, not the 1962 original.
What it costs in Panorama City
Full ductwork installation in a Panorama City home typically runs $2,780 – $5,240 depending on the number of runs, register locations, and whether the home has attic or crawlspace access.
How we do it
We calculate room-by-room airflow requirements, design the trunk and branch layout, install rigid and flex duct with proper insulation and sealing at every connection, then balance the system and verify register output.

How long does duct repair take in Panorama City?
A typical ductwork repair in a Panorama City ranch home takes one day. Full replacement of a trunk and branch system usually runs two to three days, depending on attic access and the condition of the existing registers.
Can you repair ducts without cleaning them first?
We don’t. Sealing a duct that’s still packed with decades of debris means you’re sealing the problem in. We clean the system, identify what’s actually leaking or disconnected, and then repair it properly. Call (855) 353-1653 to schedule an inspection.

What Panorama City Customers Say
"Found a disconnected run in the crawlspace while they were in there and told me about it rather than cleaning around it."
- Mark Pruitt"Ran a negative air machine on the whole system rather than the shop vac on a stick that the cheap outfit down the road uses. Showed me the before and after photos from inside the trunk line and it was genuinely disgusting."
- Norma Castillo"Two guys, about three hours, plastic down at every register, and they wiped the vent covers before putting them back."
