Call (833) 991-6689 for a free estimate. We’ve been driving out to Hudson from our Columbus base since 2015 — long enough to know the difference between a 1990s colonial off Darrow Road and a century-old home near the Hudson Green. Joseph Taylor, our owner and lead technician, handles every job personally with Rotobrush and Nikro equipment.
Why Hudson Homes Are Different
Hudson’s housing stock spans four distinct eras, and each changes how we approach ductwork. Pre-1920 homes in the historic district carry fragile clay-tile ducts and early galvanized steel that crack under standard brush cleaning. Mid-century builds near the golf course use scuffed galvanized that’s already rusting from humid summers. Newer subdivisions off Barlow Road hide construction debris in supply lines. The soil around Hudson holds moisture, especially near the Cuyahoga River watershed, so basement duct boots pull damp air year-round. ZIP codes 44236 and 44237 cover it all.
Air Duct Cleaning in Hudson
In Hudson, air duct cleaning means adjusting for clay-tile joints in century-old homes, construction debris in new builds, and rust-prone galvanized steel in between. We camera-inspect before selecting tools — guessing on century-old ductwork does neither of us any good. Air Duct Cleaning is our core service, and we’ve refined our Hudson approach over 11 years.
Residential Duct Cleaning
Hudson’s residential mix spans new construction near Barlow Road to pre-war homes walking distance from the Hudson Green. In newer builds, we often find construction debris still lodged in supply lines — drywall dust, wood chips, even fast-food wrappers left by trim crews. In older homes, the concern is accumulation: decades of skin cells, pet dander, and cooking grease baked onto duct walls. A full residential system cleaning runs $280–$450 for up to 12 vents, or $400–$550 for 13–20 vents. We include register removal, full supply and return cleaning, and before-and-after photos of your own ducts.
Historic Home Duct Cleaning
Many pre-1920 homes in Hudson’s historic district use clay-tile supply runs or early galvanized steel. Standard brush rotation cracks clay-tile joints; aggressive cleaning strips galvanized coatings and accelerates rust. We camera-verify material first, then select HEPA-vacuum-only or low-speed nylon brush methods. Historic properties requiring this extra care typically fall in the $400–$550 range. We don’t quote these over the phone without photos or a brief site visit.
Do Hudson’s historic homes need special duct cleaning methods?
Yes — many pre-1920 homes in Hudson’s historic district use clay-tile supply runs or early galvanized steel, neither of which tolerates standard brush agitation. We camera-inspect first, then select HEPA-vacuum-only or low-speed nylon brush methods based on what we find. Call (833) 991-6689 and mention your home’s age — we’ll plan accordingly.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Hudson
Dryer vent cleaning in Hudson, OH typically costs $149–$289 for a standard single-story home, with most jobs completed in under two hours. Hudson’s older homes — especially colonials and Craftsman builds in the historic district — have vent runs with multiple 90-degree turns that coupon cleaners can’t navigate. Dryer Vent Cleaning prevents the fire hazard that packed lint creates.
Vent Cleaning & Lint Removal
Our Rotobrush system uses a rotating cable with whipping brushes that scrub the full circumference of the duct, not just the centerline. For long, convoluted runs common in Hudson’s older homes, we pair this with Nikro’s high-velocity vacuum extraction to pull dislodged lint backward rather than pushing it deeper. A standard single-story vent cleaning runs $149–$189; two-story or roof-vent access is $189–$249. Historic homes with multiple turns requiring extra time and equipment fall in the $229–$289 range.
Vent Rerouting
Some Hudson homes have vent designs that can’t be cleaned effectively — colonials with dryers in basement corners, vents routed through unconditioned attics, or runs exceeding 25 feet with multiple bends. We reroute to shorter, straighter paths using rigid metal ducting that meets current code. Vent rerouting in Hudson typically costs $289–$475, including materials and labor. We inspect first and quote before any work begins.
Can your equipment handle tight turns in my 1925 Hudson home’s dryer vent?
Yes. Our Rotobrush system is specifically designed for convoluted duct runs, and we’ve successfully cleaned vents with four or more 90-degree turns in Hudson’s historic district. The flexible cable navigates bends that rigid rods can’t, and the rotating brush scrubs the full duct circumference. Call (833) 991-6689 to schedule an inspection.
HVAC Cleaning in Hudson
HVAC cleaning in Hudson typically runs $180–$520 depending on which components need service, and most jobs are completed same day. The mix of 1920s colonials with original ductwork, mid-century builds near the golf course, and newer construction off Route 91 means we adjust our approach for each system. HVAC Cleaning covers coils, blowers, and condensers.
Evaporator Coil & Blower Cleaning
The evaporator coil is where your system produces cold air, and in Hudson it’s working overtime July through September when humidity spikes. A dirty coil can’t transfer heat efficiently — you’ll see ice buildup, weak airflow, and compressor strain. We clean coils with our Rotobrush system and check refrigerant levels. Evaporator coil cleaning in Hudson runs $220–$340; blower cleaning is $180–$280. If we find excessive dust accumulation, we’ll show you exactly what filter rating your system needs.
Condenser Cleaning
The outdoor condenser coil rejects heat from your home, and in Hudson’s newer developments near the golf course, we’ve noticed a pattern: neglected condenser coils causing reduced cooling efficiency by 20–30% in homes less than ten years old. Cottonwood from the course, grass clippings, and construction dust clog the fins. We use low-pressure foaming cleaners and fin combs — never a pressure washer, which folds the aluminum fins flat. Condenser cleaning in Hudson runs $160–$240.
Will HVAC cleaning reduce my energy bills in Hudson?
Yes — typically 10–25% in Hudson homes with dirty coils or blower wheels, based on what we measure before and after. A clogged evaporator coil in Hudson’s humid summers forces your compressor to run 40% longer. Clean components transfer heat properly, and your system cycles normally. Call (833) 991-6689 for an efficiency assessment — estimates are free.
Duct Repair & Sealing in Hudson
Duct repair and sealing in Hudson, Ohio typically costs between $280 and $650 for most residential jobs. We’re familiar with the full range of housing stock here — from the historic homes near Aurora Street and Baldwin Road to the newer subdivisions off Darrow Road — and we carry equipment to handle both rusted metal trunk lines and damaged flex duct in attics. Duct Repair & Sealing addresses the root cause of energy loss and musty air.
Metal Duct Repair & Sealing
Most Hudson homes lose 20–30% of conditioned air through leaks before it reaches the rooms. In the historic district, we see this at rusted joint connections on original metal ductwork. We seal with mastic compound and fiberglass mesh — materials that flex with temperature cycles and hold up in Hudson’s humid summers and freezing winters. A typical duct sealing job runs $280–$450; metal duct repair with section replacement ranges from $320–$580 depending on access and corrosion extent.
Flex Duct Repair
Newer subdivisions in Hudson — particularly those built in the 1990s and 2000s — often have flex duct runs in attics that fail when support straps sag, when pests access the space, or when the insulation jacket degrades. We replace damaged sections with properly supported new flex, seal connections with mastic (never duct tape alone), and verify airflow balance at the registers. Flex duct repair in Hudson typically runs $180–$340 per section.
Can you repair my 1925 Hudson home’s old metal ducts without full replacement?
Yes, we can usually repair original metal ductwork in 1920s Hudson homes by cutting out corroded sections and patching with new galvanized steel, then sealing all joints with mastic. We recently did exactly this on Aurora Street — the homeowner avoided a full replacement that would have required opening walls. Call (833) 991-6689 and Joseph Taylor can inspect your specific system.
Air Quality & Sanitizing in Hudson
Air quality sanitizing in Hudson, OH typically costs $275–$650 for whole-home treatment and most jobs are completed same-day. If you’re noticing musty odors, allergy symptoms that worsen at home, or visible mold around your vents, professional duct sanitizing eliminates the source — not just masks it. Air Quality & Sanitizing is the logical next step when cleaning alone isn’t enough.
Mold Treatment & Bacteria Sanitizing
Hudson’s historic district homes, many built pre-1940 with retrofitted HVAC systems, often have narrow or uninsulated ductwork that traps moisture and debris. We recently treated mold in a 1920s Colonial on Aurora Street where uninsulated attic ducts had active growth. Using our Rotobrush and Abatement Technologies HEPA filtration, we performed full mold treatment. Bacteria sanitizing for whole-home application runs $275–$495; moderate mold treatment is $450–$850.
UV Light Installation
For homes with recurring microbial issues, we install UV-C lamps at the evaporator coil and in supply plenums where they treat air passing through. Properly installed UV-C light is contained within the HVAC system and poses no risk to pets or family. We position lamps to target microbial DNA without exposure in living spaces. UV light installation in Hudson runs $395–$750, sized to your system.
Why do Hudson’s historic homes have more mold in ducts than newer builds?
Hudson’s historic homes have more mold because their retrofit ductwork is often narrow, uninsulated, and improperly sloped for drainage. The 1920s–1940s homes in the historic district weren’t built for forced-air systems, so installers created low spots where condensation collects and insulation gaps where humid attic air meets cold ducts. We see this pattern repeatedly on Aurora Street and College Street. Call (833) 991-6689 for a free inspection.

What Hudson Customers Say
"They photographed every return and supply before starting and sent me the file afterward. No upsell to a sanitizing treatment I didn't need."
— Michael Lawson"Two guys, about three hours, plastic down at every register, and they wiped the vent covers before putting them back."
— Nadia Haddad"My wife's allergies had been bad in this house since we moved in. It's been two months since they did the ducts and it's noticeably better. Not a miracle, but real."
