Call (844) 685-6342 for a free estimate with upfront pricing - the number we quote is the number on the invoice.
We’ve been driving out to Clovis from our Los Angeles headquarters for over 42 years, and we know the difference between a home off Bullard Avenue built in 1995 and a master-planned subdivision east of Clovis Avenue put up during the 2000s boom. That local knowledge matters because the duct problems we find in Clovis aren’t the duct problems we find in Fresno’s older central neighborhoods, or anywhere else in the San Joaquin Valley for that matter. The agricultural dust load here is heavier. The attic temperatures are more brutal. The failure modes are specific to this city’s housing stock and geography. Our Air Duct Cleaning team treats Clovis as its own market, not a Fresno suburb.
Why Bellows Air Duct & Vent Co. Is Clovis’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
We’ve built our reputation in Clovis the slow way - by showing up when we say we will, doing what we said we’d do, and standing behind it for 90 days in writing. No paperwork, no arguing. That’s our Done Right Promise, and it’s stamped on every job.
Clovis homeowners call us back because they’ve learned the hard way what discount bait-and-switch operators look like. We’re the square-deal alternative. One honest price, shown before a single tool is lifted. Camera-verified results every time - you’ll see the before and after with your own eyes, not take our word for it.
Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed, and they answer to a live person at our office 24 hours a day. Not a voicemail. Not an app. A real person. When you’re pulling almond orchard dust out of your registers at 10 p.m., that matters.
We understand the local conditions that wear on Clovis duct systems: the thermal inversions that trap wildfire smoke and agricultural particulates at ground level, the Tule fog events that cycle more contamination through your HVAC, and the 150-160°F attic temperatures that degrade flex duct seals on a predictable 15-20 year timeline. That knowledge changes how we clean, inspect, and seal your system.
Our Air Duct Cleaning Services in Clovis
Residential Duct Cleaning
Most Clovis homes we service are single-family residences in 93619 or eastern 93611, built during the late-1980s through mid-2000s subdivision boom. These houses typically have flex duct systems routed through attics, and those attics are punishing environments. We clean the full supply and return network with Rotobrush equipment, then verify with camera inspection. For homes near active agricultural land, we also evaluate whether your filtration is adequate for the particulate load - standard 1-inch pleated filters often aren’t.
Commercial Duct Cleaning
Clovis’s commercial base along Shaw Avenue and Herndon Avenue includes medical offices, retail, and light industrial spaces with rooftop package units and hard-pipe duct systems. We clean these with Nikro and Abatement Technologies equipment sized for larger static pressure requirements. Scheduling is flexible to avoid business hours, and we provide written certification for facilities managers who need documentation for insurance or regulatory compliance.
Supply Duct Cleaning
The supply side pushes conditioned air into your rooms. In Clovis, we frequently find supply runs partially detached from collars in 93619 subdivisions, pulling attic insulation fibers and agricultural dust directly into living spaces. We clean the full supply trunk and branch lines, re-attach separated runs with mastic sealant, and seal any new leaks we find. The camera doesn’t lie - you’ll see the difference.
Return Duct Cleaning
Return ducts draw air back to your HVAC unit for reconditioning. Because they’re under negative pressure, any leak in a return line pulls unfiltered air from your attic, crawl space, or wall cavities. In Clovis’s older boom-era homes, return plenums and flex connections are often the first failure points. We clean and inspect the full return path, paying special attention to the main return plenum where agricultural dust and insulation fibers typically concentrate.
Video Inspection
Every job starts and ends with camera inspection. We run a Rotobrush video camera through your duct system before cleaning to document condition, locate detached runs, and identify insulation intrusion. After cleaning, we run it again to verify results. Clovis homeowners receive a visual record, not a verbal claim. This is particularly valuable for homes in the newer 93619 subdivisions where flex duct failures are common but hidden from view.
Full System Cleaning
Our most thorough service covers supply ducts, return ducts, the blower compartment, evaporator coil (where accessible), and the main trunk lines. In Clovis, we recommend this level for homes that haven’t been cleaned in 5+ years, homes near active agricultural operations, or any home showing signs of insulation fiber in registers. Most full system cleans in Clovis run $550-$850 and finish in a single day.

Trusted Brands We Service in Clovis
We clean and service duct systems connected to all major HVAC brands, and we specify Aprilaire, Abatement Technologies, and Rotobrush equipment for our own work. For Clovis homes facing heavy agricultural dust loads, we often recommend Aprilaire media air cleaners with MERV 13+ filtration - they’re specified by serious HVAC contractors because they work. We stock common replacement parts locally, so if your cleaning reveals a failing component, we can usually address it without a return trip. No waiting on shipping while your system pulls in more almond orchard dust.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Clovis Homes
- Detached flex duct collars in 93619 subdivisions. After 15-20 years of 150-160°F attic thermal cycling, the mastic seals and mechanical connections on flex duct runs fail. The duct sags or pulls completely off its collar, turning your HVAC system into a vacuum for blown-in attic insulation and agricultural dust. We find this east of Clovis Avenue far more often than in Fresno’s older, shorter-run duct layouts.
- Agricultural PM2.5 overwhelming standard filtration. Clovis sits at the eastern fringe of the San Joaquin Valley where residential neighborhoods back directly against almond orchards, cotton fields, and dairies. During harvest season, standard 1-inch pleated filters load up in weeks instead of months. The particulate makes it past the filter, deposits in ductwork, and recirculates until cleaned.
- Tule fog compressing cleaning intervals. Winter Tule fog events trap wildfire smoke, road dust, and agricultural particulates at ground level for days or weeks. Your HVAC system runs through these events, pulling concentrated contamination through ducts. The effective cleaning interval in Clovis is 6-12 months for homes near agricultural land, not the 3-5 year national average.
- Thermal inversion trapping Sierra wildfire smoke. The valley’s notorious thermal inversion layers hold PM2.5 from wildfire smoke at breathing level for extended periods. Fresno County consistently ranks among the top three worst counties in the nation for year-round particle pollution. Clovis duct systems accumulate this contamination at a rate that surprises technicians arriving from coastal markets.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Clovis, CA
We’re transparent about pricing because we’ve seen what bait-and-switch looks like, and we don’t do it. Here’s what air duct cleaning costs in the Clovis market:
| Service | Typical Range in Clovis |
|---|---|
| Basic residential duct cleaning (supply + return, single system) | $350-$550 |
| Full system cleaning with blower and coil access | $550-$850 |
| Video inspection only (diagnostic, no cleaning) | $150-$250 |
| Flex duct re-attachment and sealing (per run) | $75-$150 |
| Air cleaner upgrade (Aprilaire media filter, installed) | $400-$650 |
What moves you within these ranges: system size (square footage and number of registers), accessibility (crawl space vs. attic routing), contamination level (heavy agricultural dust takes longer), and whether we find detached runs or leaks that need sealing. We inspect first, quote upfront, and get your approval before starting work. The price on the phone is the price on the invoice. Seniors and veterans receive a permanent 5% discount.

FAQs - Air Duct Cleaning in Clovis
Clovis homes east of Clovis Avenue, particularly in 93619, back directly against active agricultural land - almond orchards, cotton fields, and dairies - that generate a constant load of dust, harvest particulates, and field-stir debris. Layered on top is the San Joaquin Valley’s thermal inversion, which traps PM2.5 from wildfire smoke and agricultural operations at ground level for days or weeks. Older Fresno neighborhoods have shorter duct runs, less extreme attic exposure, and more distance from active fields. Most 93619 homes near agricultural land need cleaning every 6-12 months, not every 3-5 years. Call (844) 685-6342 for a free inspection and we’ll show you exactly what’s in your ducts.
Extreme attic thermal cycling causes the failure. Clovis attics routinely reach 150-160°F during the long Central Valley summer, and flex duct mastic seals and mechanical collars degrade on a roughly 15-20 year timeline. This aligns precisely with the age of homes built during the 1980s-2000s subdivision boom. Once a seal fails, the duct sags under its own weight, pulls off the collar entirely, and becomes an open pathway for attic insulation fibers and agricultural dust into your living space. We find this failure mode in Clovis far more often than in older markets with milder attic temperatures or different duct materials. Call (844) 685-6342 for a video inspection - we’ll show you if your collars are still intact.
No. Standard 1-inch pleated filters are designed for typical residential dust loads, not the agricultural PM2.5 and harvest particulates that Clovis homes near orchards and fields experience. These filters load up in weeks during harvest season, bypassing occurs, and particulate deposits directly in ductwork. We often recommend upgrading to an Aprilaire media air cleaner with MERV 13+ filtration for Clovis homes in high-exposure areas. The filter is a complement to, not a replacement for, periodic professional duct cleaning. Call (844) 685-6342 and we’ll assess your current filtration against your actual exposure.
Tule fog traps ground-level particulates - wildfire smoke remnants, road dust, and agricultural emissions - in a dense layer that persists for days or weeks during Central Valley winters. Your HVAC system continues running through these events, pulling concentrated, unfiltered contamination through return ducts and recirculating it through supply lines. This creates additional loading cycles that compress the interval between professional cleanings. Homes without adequate filtration see the fastest accumulation. Call (844) 685-6342 for a free estimate - we’ll evaluate whether your system is handling Clovis’s unique seasonal load.
We run a Rotobrush camera through your full supply and return network, documenting the interior condition of every accessible trunk and branch line. You see what we see: dust accumulation, mold or moisture staining, detached flex duct runs, insulation fiber intrusion, and any structural damage. We perform this inspection before cleaning to establish baseline condition and after cleaning to verify results. For Clovis homes in 93619, we pay particular attention to flex duct collar connections where thermal cycling causes hidden failures. The video record belongs to you. Call (844) 685-6342 to schedule - estimates are free.
Ready to Breathe Cleaner Air in Your Clovis Home?
On a job near the intersection of Fowler and Ashlan in 93619, we found the flex duct system in a 2006-built home had pulled off its collars in three places, channeling blown-in attic insulation and almond orchard dust into the living room registers. We re-attached the runs with mastic sealant, performed a full video inspection with our Rotobrush camera, and installed a Honeywell electronic air cleaner to control the ongoing particulate load. The homeowner called because she kept dusting every two days and couldn’t figure out why. Now she knows, and now it’s fixed.
That’s how we work. We show you the problem. We quote the fix upfront. We do the work. We verify with video. And we stand behind it for 90 days - in writing, no paperwork, no arguing.
If you’re in Clovis - whether you’re off Herndon near the Sierra Vista Mall, down Shaw toward the 168, or out in the newer 93619 subdivisions where the orchards start - we’re ready to drive out and take a look. Call (844) 685-6342 for a free estimate. A live person will answer, 24 hours a day. We’ll be there when we say.
