From fire stations and medical offices to restaurants, apartment complexes, pharmacies, and government facilities — we clean commercial HVAC systems of any size, anywhere in Central Ohio. Quoted by square footage. Scheduled around your operation.
In a commercial facility, your HVAC system runs more hours, pushes more air, and accumulates debris faster than any residential system. Whether it's flour dust in a bakery, construction particulates in a newly opened office, cooking grease in a restaurant hood system, or pharmaceutical-grade cleanliness requirements in a dispensary — the demands on a commercial duct system are fundamentally different from a home.
The most common reason commercial facility managers call us isn't a complaint or an emergency. It's a business decision: they just invested in a new commercial HVAC unit and they're not going to let clogged ductwork cut its lifespan in half. A $100,000 commercial HVAC replacement that runs through dirty ducts will need to be replaced again in a fraction of the time it should last.
We work around your operating hours. We document everything for compliance records. And we bring the same NADCA-standard process to a 2,000 sq ft dental office as we do to a 100,000 sq ft facility requiring special access clearance. The scale changes. The standard doesn't.
Clean Air Pros is actively pursuing government facility contracts requiring special access clearance and compliance protocols. Commercial HVAC replacements in government buildings routinely require certified duct cleaning — because purchasing teams know that a new unit in dirty ducts doesn't stay new for long.
A commercial HVAC unit running through clogged ductwork can lose 30–50% of its projected lifespan. Duct cleaning at the time of installation — or before a new unit goes in — is the single most effective way to protect that investment.
We provide before & after photo documentation on every commercial job — useful for TDDD pharmacy compliance, health department inspections, property manager records, and facility maintenance logs.
We don't specialize in one industry — we specialize in doing it right, regardless of what kind of building you operate. No job is too small and no facility is too complex.
From single-floor suites to multi-story glass towers. Scheduled after-hours or weekends around your tenants.
Retail environments with high foot traffic and demanding HVAC loads. We've worked at properties across the Columbus metro.
Annual cleaning contracts with Westerville-area retirement communities. Occupied facilities — we work carefully and quietly.
Food-contact compliance, grease management, and HVAC protection for kitchens and dining rooms throughout Columbus.
Construction debris, drywall dust, and finish particulates accumulate in new ductwork. Post-build cleaning protects the HVAC from day one.
Property managers trust us for annual contracts. We service individual units, common areas, and full building systems.
When the people whose job is preventing and fighting fires trust you to maintain the air quality in their facility — that says something about the standard you hold yourself to. We've cleaned multiple fire stations across Central Ohio, including Liberty Township in Powell.
Fire station environments have unique challenges: apparatus bays with diesel exhaust, occupied 24/7 shifts, and HVAC systems that run continuously. Our team works around shift schedules, protects equipment, and delivers NADCA-standard cleaning without disrupting operations.
If the firefighters trust us, you can too.
Residential companies dabbling in commercial work send one van and hope for the best. Clean Air Pros operates with dedicated commercial capacity — multiple crews, multiple vans, and the logistics to handle large-format jobs that require coordination, access scheduling, and compliance documentation.
When a job requires two crews working simultaneously on different sections of a large facility — to minimize disruption to your tenants or operations — we can do that. When a job needs to be finished in a single weekend window — we staff accordingly.
We currently service commercial jobs across Columbus, Delaware, Powell, Westerville, Upper Arlington, Westerville, and surrounding communities — with no job size cap.

Some commercial facilities don't clean their ducts because it's good practice. They clean them because their license, their inspection results, or their liability depends on it. We understand the specific demands of compliance-sensitive industries — and we work to the documentation standard those industries require.
Ohio Board of Pharmacy (TDDD) compliance requires pharmacies to maintain clean, contaminant-free environments. Airborne dust and particulates in ductwork can create impurities in medications and trigger compliance failures. We help pharmacies pass inspections by cleaning the source — not just the surfaces.
Medical offices, specialty clinics, and healthcare-adjacent facilities operate under elevated cleanliness standards. Our German Village doctor's office project required two-technician protocols, careful containment, and minimal patient disruption. We've also supported a hospital network expansion project at a nationally recognized Columbus children's healthcare facility.
Health department compliance in food service environments requires controlling airborne contaminants throughout the facility — not just in the kitchen. We've worked in restaurants, bakeries, and food-preparation environments where product exposure control is a critical factor in every step of our process.
High-humidity commercial environments — laundromats, nail salons, fitness centers — create accelerated mold and mildew conditions in ductwork. We've cleaned occupied facilities across all of these categories without disrupting daily operations.
A third-generation Columbus bakery — a name that has fed this city for over 50 years and still does — found us online when other companies couldn't figure out how to quote the job. The challenge wasn't the building. It was the hours: this bakery never closes. Any cleaning crew had to work around a live, operating kitchen without disrupting production, without cross-contaminating product areas, and without putting their newly installed commercial HVAC unit at risk.
We quoted it clearly, scheduled around their operation, and got to work. What we found inside their ductwork was decades of accumulated flour — fine, white, and packed deep into every duct run throughout the building. Flour is highly flammable and hygroscopic, meaning it absorbs moisture and compacts into dense blockages that slowly strangle a commercial HVAC system. Their brand-new furnace was already fighting decades of buildup from the moment it was installed.
We extracted 50 pounds of flour from their duct system. Their HVAC can now breathe the way it was designed to — and the unit they just invested in has the lifespan they paid for.
And no — we did not offer to return the flour for tomorrow's batch. Some things you can't unsee. This is one of them. We're proud to help keep a Columbus institution running clean for the next generation.
Property managers across Central Ohio retain us annually for their residential communities. We currently service retirement communities, apartment complexes, and multi-family developments — and we understand the specific dynamics that make multi-family duct cleaning different from a single-family home.
Commercial HVAC replacement is a significant capital expenditure — often $50,000 to $150,000 or more for a mid-sized facility. That investment is designed to last 15–25 years under proper conditions. When a new unit gets installed into a duct system packed with debris, particulates, and decades of accumulation, it begins fighting restricted airflow from day one.
The result isn't dramatic — it's gradual. The unit works harder to maintain temperature. Components wear faster. Filters clog more frequently. Energy bills climb. And within a few years, what should have been a 20-year unit is already showing signs of accelerated wear.
Government purchasing departments know this. That's why commercial HVAC replacements in government buildings routinely require certified duct cleaning before the new unit goes in. The cost of duct cleaning is a fraction of what's protected — and it's the difference between a unit that lasts and one that needs replacing again far too soon.
Before new HVAC installation → Clean the ducts → Install the unit. This is the sequence that protects your capital investment from day one. We work directly with commercial HVAC contractors and property managers to coordinate duct cleaning as part of the pre-installation process. Call us before the new unit goes in.
We want to be straightforward: commercial duct cleaning and commercial HVAC unit servicing are two different scopes of work, governed by different licensing requirements. Clean Air Pros handles duct systems — supply lines, return lines, trunk runs, registers, and plenums — to NADCA standards.
Cleaning external commercial HVAC units, coils, and refrigerant systems requires an Ohio-licensed commercial HVAC contractor. When jobs call for both scopes, we work with a network of three trusted licensed HVAC partners. We'll tell you clearly what falls within our scope and who to call for the rest — because the right answer for your facility is more important than the largest invoice we can write.
Commercial work requires more coordination than residential. Here's exactly how we handle it — from quote to documentation.
We assess your facility type, square footage, system configuration, and access constraints. Pricing is by square footage and scope — not a flat guess. You get a real number before we start.
We work after-hours, overnight, or on weekends if your facility requires it. We've cleaned occupied schools, 24/7 bakeries, and active fire stations. We fit the schedule to your business — not ours.
Negative pressure extraction through your full duct system. Supply lines, return lines, trunk runs, and registers — all cleaned to the same NADCA standard we apply to residential work, at commercial scale.
Photo documentation of every register — before cleaning and after. Useful for compliance records, property management files, health department inspections, and tenant documentation.
Commercial clients expect no mess, no residual debris, and a clean facility when we leave. We protect floors, furniture, and equipment throughout the process. You'll know we were there only because the air is cleaner.
We're currently building strategic commercial partnerships with property managers, HVAC contractors, and building owners. Ask about annual maintenance agreements — we work with you to create a recurring schedule that fits your budget and compliance calendar.
Commercial duct cleaning is priced based on the square footage of your facility, the configuration of your HVAC system, and the extent of work required. Unlike residential work, there's no standard per-unit price — every commercial job gets a custom assessment and a clear written quote before any work begins.
Factors that affect commercial pricing include facility size, number of systems, duct configuration, access complexity, compliance documentation requirements, and whether after-hours scheduling is needed. We'll walk through all of it with you on the phone or on-site — no surprises.
If external unit cleaning is required in addition to duct work, we coordinate with our licensed HVAC partners and provide a complete scope so you can make one informed decision rather than managing multiple vendors.
Call (614) 924-0003 and ask for our commercial team. Have your approximate square footage and facility type ready — we can give you a rough range in the first call, and schedule a site walk for larger or more complex jobs.
All facility types welcome. Government, medical, food service, retail, multi-family — we quote every job individually.
