Air Duct Cleaning Company in Northridge, CA
Air duct repair in Northridge usually means one thing: old galvanized or early flex ductwork from the 1950s through 1970s that has finally pulled apart, collapsed, or corroded through in the dry Valley air. We’re Duct Cleaning Simi Valley, and we handle the full scope here: cleaning, repair, and dryer vent work with Rotobrush and Nikro extraction rigs rather than a blow-and-go wand. The 1994 earthquake and three decades of remodels left a lot of disconnected, dust-filled duct runs in Northridge’s ranch tract homes. Call (855) 353-2270 for a free estimate. We answer 24/7.
Why Northridge Homes Are Different
Northridge sits in the San Fernando Valley’s dust corridor, where long hot summers, single-digit humidity, and Santa Ana wind events keep fine mineral dust airborne instead of letting it settle. That changes the cleaning cycle. Homes along Reseda Blvd and Nordhoff St, most of them single-story ranches built between the 1950s and 1970s, run original rigid galvanized or early flex duct through low, tight attic spaces. The flex has usually gone brittle. The joints are rarely sealed well. And after the 1994 quake centered here, thousands of homes were re-roofed and re-drywalled, which means decades of construction dust and debris settled inside duct runs and never came out. We find that layer on nearly every first-time cleaning in Northridge. The dry air also degrades flex duct insulation faster than a coastal climate would, so a cleaning visit often turns into a re-sealing or partial replacement recommendation. That’s normal for this housing stock.

Our Main Northridge Services
Two jobs dominate the calls we get from Northridge homeowners: whole-system air duct cleaning, and dryer vent cleaning as a fire-safety measure. Both have their own pages here.
Air Duct Cleaning in Northridge
Cleaning in Northridge means pulling post-remodel drywall dust, Santa Ana silt, and pet dander out of 50-to-70-year-old duct runs without damaging brittle flex or old galvanized seams. We use rotary-brush extraction, not just air pressure, so debris is physically removed rather than redistributed through the house. This service covers full supply and return runs, the air handler cabinet, and registers. Air Duct Cleaning in Northridge explains the process, pricing, and what to expect in this city’s housing stock.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Northridge
Dryer vents in Northridge’s older homes often run long horizontal distances through low attics or crawl spaces, accumulating lint fast in the dry air. That’s a fire hazard. We clean the full run from dryer to exterior termination, clear blockages, and check for crushed or disconnected sections. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Northridge covers the specific risks and process for this city’s ranch and apartment stock.
Air Duct Repair in Northridge
Northridge homes from the 1950s through 1970s were built with duct systems that have now outlived their intended lifespan. Galvanized seams corrode in the dry heat, early flex duct turns brittle and splits, and earthquake settling plus decades of attic foot traffic have pulled joints apart. Air Duct Repair in Northridge is how we restore airflow, seal leaks, and replace sections that can’t be saved. The 1994 quake loosened a lot of what was already old, and we routinely find duct runs that have been blowing conditioned air into attics for years. That’s the specific problem this service solves here.
Ductwork Repair
Signs you need it
Rooms that stay hot in summer while others freeze, visible dust blooming around registers, or a sudden jump in your power bill all point to leaking or disconnected duct sections.
What it costs in Northridge
Expect $290 – $520 for typical mid-sized runs, with a firm price set by the written estimate.
How we do it
We locate the failure with a pressure check, access the attic or crawl run, and repair the specific section with mastic, metal tape, or a new collar and connector.
Air Duct Replacement
Signs you need it
Brittle, collapsed, or mold-contaminated flex duct that crumbles when touched can’t be repaired, only replaced.
What it costs in Northridge
Full-run replacement typically falls between $1,750 and $2,900 depending on attic access and run length.
How we do it
We remove the old flex, size the replacement to the existing plenum and boot, and install new insulated flex with properly sealed connections.
What Air Duct Repair Costs in Northridge
| Item | Typical range in Northridge |
|---|---|
| Ductwork repair (single run) | $290 – $520 |
| Air duct replacement | $1,750 – $2,900 |
| Ductwork installation (new or remodel) | $1,900 – $3,600 |
Does air duct repair in Northridge require a permit?
Full replacement or new duct installation in Northridge generally falls under the City of Los Angeles mechanical permit rules, but simple repair and sealing usually do not. We’ll tell you before work starts which applies to your job.
Can you repair ductwork the same visit as a cleaning?
Yes. When a cleaning uncovers a collapsed flex run or separated joint, our technicians can repair it on the spot rather than documenting it for a second visit. Call (855) 353-2270 for a free estimate.
Brands We Service in Northridge
We clean and service around the equipment already in your home, so if your Northridge house runs an Aprilaire filtration system or Guardsman-registered components, our technicians work with it, not past it. We carry common replacement parts and can typically source what we don’t stock within Northridge in a day or two. See our brands for the full list.

For most single-family homes, no. For condo and townhome complexes along Reseda Blvd and Nordhoff St, check your HOA’s rules about attic or shared-wall access. We can work with whatever access the association requires.
The 1994 earthquake centered here set off years of re-roofing, drywall work, and remodeling, and the fine dust from that wave settled inside duct runs. Add Santa Ana wind events on top, and the cleaning cycle shortens. Many Northridge homes are still cleaning that original dust out for the first time.

What Northridge Customers Say
"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."
- Laura Sullivan"Quoted per system rather than the bait and switch per vent pricing everybody else in town uses. The number I was told on the phone was the number on the invoice."
- Cole Fletcher"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."
