Air Duct Cleaning Company in Los Gatos, CA
Air duct repair in Los Gatos usually means finding and sealing leaks in duct runs that twist through attics and crawl spaces under older hillside homes. We’re Duct Cleaning Mountain View, and we’ve served Los Gatos since 2015 with professional-grade Rotobrush and Nikro cleaning systems plus full duct repair capability. What sets Los Gatos jobs apart is the housing: 1920s bungalows downtown, 1970s custom builds in the foothills, and everything between. If your ducts are leaking, collapsed, or shedding fiberglass lining, call (866) 528-3938 and we’ll assess it directly.
Why Los Gatos Homes Are Different
Los Gatos splits into two very different duct environments. The downtown flats hold bungalows and ranch homes from the 1920s through 1960s, many with original sheet-metal ducts lined with fiberglass that breaks down after decades of thermal cycling. The foothill ZIP codes, especially 95033 off Highway 17, run to 1970s and 1990s custom homes with multi-zone systems and long duct runs through attics that bake in summer heat reaching 95°F. That heat fails duct sealant at the joints, and once a seam opens, the system pulls attic air, dust, and sometimes rodent nesting material into the house.
Then there’s the pollen and smoke load. Oak and redwood pollen coat Los Gatos every spring, and the dry summers push HVAC systems hard, drawing fine particulate through return ducts. Homes with wood-burning fireplaces add sooty residue to return-air ducts each winter. A duct job here has to handle fine allergens and combustion dust at the same time – which is why we run Abatement Technologies HEPA filtration during cleaning so contaminants come out of the duct and out of the house, not back into the air.
Hillside access changes scheduling too. Many 95033 homes have attic-mounted air handlers reached by narrow pull-down ladders, and duct runs that snake through tight eave spaces. We plan for that. It’s routine for us, but it’s why a Los Gatos job often takes longer than a flat-lot job in Campbell or West San Jose.

Our Main Los Gatos Services
Most Los Gatos homeowners reach out for one of two reasons: the system hasn’t been cleaned in years and everyone in the house feels it, or the dryer has been running two cycles and still leaving clothes damp. Both jobs share a root cause here: fine pollen, redwood duff, and dust working their way into the system.
Air Duct Cleaning in Los Gatos
Our Air Duct Cleaning in Los Gatos service starts with a camera inspection of the supply and return runs, then mechanical agitation with Rotobrush or Nikro systems, and HEPA-filtered negative air throughout the job. In Los Gatos we regularly pull oak pollen, redwood duff, fireplace soot, and drywall dust out of ducts that haven’t been opened since the house was built. The process covers supply registers, return grilles, the main trunk line, and branch runs. If we find damage during cleaning – and in older Los Gatos homes we often do – we show you the camera footage and quote repair on the spot.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Los Gatos
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Los Gatos clears the full run from the dryer’s lint trap to the exterior vent cap. Los Gatos dryer vents collect the same fine redwood duff and pollen as the HVAC system, plus dense lint that builds up faster when dryers work harder against long vertical runs. Hillside homes with laundry rooms on the upper floor often have ten to fifteen feet of vertical venting, which is exactly where clogs form. We clean the run and confirm airflow at the cap before we leave.
Air Duct Repair in Los Gatos
Air Duct Repair in Los Gatos tackles what cleaning alone can’t fix: split seams, crushed runs, detached branch lines, and fiberglass-lined ducts in older homes that have started shedding into the airstream. In downtown Los Gatos bungalows, the most common call is a musty smell and weak airflow from a bedroom register, and the cause is usually a disconnected or collapsed return under the house. In the foothills, it’s failed sealant at attic duct joints from years of summer heat. We clean the duct. We also fix it if it’s broken. That’s the point of having a full Air Duct Repair division alongside cleaning crews.
HVAC Duct Installation
Signs you need it
Rooms that never reach the thermostat set point, visible rust or cracking on exposed ductwork in the garage or crawl space, or a full remodel that’s changing the floor plan and needs new duct runs sized correctly.
What it costs in Los Gatos
HVAC duct installation in Los Gatos typically runs $2,000 – $6,500 depending on home size, number of zones, and how accessible the attic or crawl space is.
How we do it
We measure room-by-room airflow requirements, fabricate or order the right duct sizes, install the runs with sealed connections, and balance the system so each room gets designed airflow.
Air Duct Replacement
Signs you need it
Fiberglass lining flaking out of registers, ducts that crush or dent under light pressure, or air that smells musty even right after a cleaning.
What it costs in Los Gatos
Air duct replacement in Los Gatos typically runs $1,800 – $5,000 for a partial system and more for full replacement in a large foothills home.
How we do it
We remove the failing duct material, install new insulated ductwork sized to the air handler, seal every joint with mastic, and verify airflow with a manometer before we finish.
Ductwork Repair
Signs you need it
A register blowing dust or attic air, a sudden jump in the energy bill, or a room that was comfortable last summer and isn’t anymore.
What it costs in Los Gatos
Ductwork repair in Los Gatos ranges from $250 for sealing a single accessible joint to $1,500+ for repairing a crushed trunk line in a tight crawl space.
How we do it
We camera-inspect the run to find every leak and restriction, then re-seal accessible joints, patch or replace damaged sections, and re-test static pressure.
Duct Replacement
Signs you need it
Ducts with holes large enough to see through, multiple collapsed sections, or original 1960s ductwork that’s beyond reasonable patching.
What it costs in Los Gatos
Duct replacement for a full system in Los Gatos typically lands between $2,500 and $6,000 depending on the number of runs and attic accessibility.
How we do it
We size the new runs to the existing air handler, remove the old ductwork, install and seal the new system, and confirm balanced airflow across all registers.
What Air Duct Repair Costs in Los Gatos
| Item | Typical range in Los Gatos |
|---|---|
| Ductwork repair (single leak or joint) | $250 – $600 |
| Duct replacement (partial system) | $1,800 – $3,500 |
| HVAC duct installation (full system) | $2,000 – $6,500 |
When attic access is tight or the damaged section is buried under a finished ceiling, the price moves toward the higher end of each range. Every repair quote is a flat price agreed before work starts – no hourly surprises.
Can you fix a duct without replacing the whole system?
Yes. Most Los Gatos duct problems are isolated: one seam failed, one branch disconnected, one section crushed. We repair the damaged section and re-test the whole system for leaks. Full replacement is only recommended when the duct material itself has failed.
Call (866) 528-3938 and we’ll camera the suspect run and tell you exactly what’s repairable.
Do older Los Gatos ducts need to be replaced for safety?
Some do. Original fiberglass-lined sheet metal from the 1960s can shed fibers into the airstream as the lining binder degrades. If fibers are visible at a register, the liner needs to come out or the duct needs replacing. We’ll show you the camera view and let you judge.
If you’re seeing dust at every register, call (866) 528-3938 and we’ll inspect before you spend anything.
Brands We Service in Los Gatos
We stock and service Honeywell and Aprilaire air quality products alongside HEPA filtration equipment from Abatement Technologies. If you want cleaner air to stay that way after a cleaning, we can add filtration that fits your Los Gatos system. See our brands for the full line we carry.
