Air Duct Cleaning Company in Panorama City, CA
Air Duct Repair is the service Panorama City homeowners call us about most, and the reason is built into the neighborhood itself. These 1947 – 1960 ranch homes and low-rise apartment courts were not designed for forced-air HVAC. The ductwork was added later, run through shallow attics that hit 140°F in August, and often left with disconnected flex runs and unsealed joints. We’re Air Duct Cleaning Northridge, and we’ve served Panorama City since 2014 with professional-grade equipment: Rotobrush, Nikro, Honeywell, and Aprilaire systems, not improvised tools. If you suspect your ducts are leaking or disconnected, call (833) 968-4871 for a straight answer.
Why Panorama City Homes Are Different
Panorama City is dense San Fernando Valley postwar suburbia: block after block of one-story stucco ranch homes on small lots, plus 1950s and 60s low-rise apartment courts along Van Nuys Blvd and Roscoe Blvd. Almost none of these buildings were built with central air. The original gravity furnaces got swapped for forced-air units over decades, and the ductwork got shoehorned in wherever it would fit: shallow attics, closet soffits, crawlspaces. That means short, oddly routed, sometimes unsealed runs that have been patched, extended, and re-patched by a dozen different hands.
The climate does not help. Summer highs in Panorama City routinely pass 100°F, so the AC runs hard for months. Dust and debris baked into the ducts get recirculated constantly. The dry air cracks flex duct and joint seals faster than you’d see in a coastal city. Add spring pollen and Santa Ana wind dust settling into return grilles, and you get a duct system that works against itself. In the older tract blocks around the 91402 and 91412 ZIP codes, techs routinely find crushed or disconnected runs lying in blown insulation that no homeowner knew were open. Duct cleaning here is less about pristine new systems and more about decades of Valley dust, drywall fallout from repeated remodels, and landlord-turnover grime in the same 1,000 – 1,400 sq ft floor plans repeated block after block.

Our Main Panorama City Services
Most Panorama City homeowners call us about two things: cleaning the ductwork that has been neglected for years, and clearing dryer vents that were never treated as the fire risk they are.
Air Duct Cleaning in Panorama City
We run Rotobrush brush-fed cleaning through Panorama City duct systems, paired with Nikro HEPA-rated extraction so debris is captured, not blown into your living room. In these older homes, we often find the same pattern: returns pulling dust from under the house, supply runs disconnected in the attic, and years of drywall dust from remodels coating every interior surface. We also use Abatement Technologies negative-air containment on heavier jobs, which keeps the mess contained while we work. If you’ve noticed dust on furniture a day after cleaning, or one room that never cools down, read more about Air Duct Cleaning in Panorama City.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Panorama City
Dryer vents are a fire risk, not a maintenance footnote, and in Panorama City apartment courts the risk compounds. Shared walls, long vent runs, and landlord turnover mean lint builds up in places nobody looks. We treat dryer vent cleaning as its own dedicated service with its own equipment, not an upsell afterthought. The dry Valley air makes lint especially combustible, and a clogged vent forces your dryer to run longer, which costs you money every cycle. For the full scope of this service, see Dryer Vent Cleaning in Panorama City.
Air Duct Repair in Panorama City
Most Panorama City duct systems are retrofits, and a retrofit that’s forty or fifty years old is rarely intact. The heat in these shallow attics bakes flex duct until the outer jacket splits, the inner liner sags, and the joints pull apart. When a run disconnects in the attic, you’re paying to cool insulation while the bedroom stays hot. That’s what Air Duct Repair addresses: we find the open runs, seal the joints, replace what’s crushed or torn, and give the system back the airflow it lost years ago.
HVAC Duct Installation
Signs you need it
Rooms that never reach the thermostat temperature, dust blowing from supply registers, or a furnace that runs constantly without satisfying the setting often point to duct runs that are undersized, crushed, or simply gone.
What it costs in Panorama City
New HVAC duct installation in Panorama City typically runs $1,400 – $2,800 per system, depending on how many runs need to be replaced and how accessible the attic is.
How we do it
We measure each run, pull the collapsed or torn flex, and install new R-6 insulated duct with sealed connections at both ends.
Air Duct Replacement
Signs you need it
If sections of duct are torn, crushed, or collapsed, or if the inner liner is coated with residue that cleaning cannot remove, replacement is the only fix.
What it costs in Panorama City
Expect air duct replacement in Panorama City to fall between $1,200 and $2,300 for a typical ranch home, with larger or harder-to-access attics running higher.
How we do it
We remove the failed sections, install new ductwork sized to the room’s actual airflow requirement, and seal every joint with mastic, not tape.
Ductwork Repair
Signs you need it
You may notice a specific room that’s always hot, a musty smell when the blower kicks on, or visible damage on exposed ductwork in the garage or attic.
What it costs in Panorama City
Ductwork repair typically runs $400 – $900 per run in Panorama City when joints can be resealed and small sections patched rather than replaced.
How we do it
We locate the leak with a visual inspection and airflow check, then reseal joints, reconnect loose runs, and secure everything with proper hangers.
What Air Duct Repair Costs in Panorama City
| Item | Typical range in Panorama City |
|---|---|
| Ductwork repair (per run) | $400 – $900 |
| Air duct replacement (typical ranch home) | $1,200 – $2,300 |
| HVAC duct installation (full system) | $1,400 – $2,800 |
Why did my ductwork come apart in the first place?
Shallow Panorama City attics bake ductwork at 140°F for months, and original installs used undersized hangers and tape that fails in heat. The runs pull apart at the joints, not in the middle. Call (833) 968-4871 for an attic inspection.
Should I repair or replace my old ducts?
If runs are collapsed, torn, or filled with construction debris, replacement is cheaper long-term than chasing leaks. Repair makes sense when the duct is sound and the joints are the problem. We’ll tell you which one you have.
