Whole-system duct and dryer vent check with before-and-after photos - you see exactly what came out of your vents
That "$99 whole-house special" is a bait ad - the real number appears once they are in your hallway, or the "clean" is a shop-vac at the register. We photograph the inside of your ducts before and after instead.

AfterNikro Air Quality & Sanitizing in Denver: What to Know First
CleanRun provides independent Nikro air quality and sanitizing service in Denver, typically scheduling within 3-5 business days and completing most jobs in a single visit. We quote a written price before any work starts - Haven Standard Clause 1 - and deliver a documented photo record of every duct run when we leave. This page is for Nikro owners in Denver neighborhoods like Capitol Hill, Wash Park, and Highlands Ranch who need mold treatment, bacteria sanitizing, odor removal, UV light installation, or air purifier service on their Nikro equipment. Call (720) 799-2292 for a free estimate.
How Nikro Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- Nikro PS1000 and PS2000 portable air scrubbers suffer UV-C lamp degradation in Denver’s high-altitude sun load. The 254nm lamps lose output faster here than at sea level, dropping below effective microbe-kill dosage while the indicator light still glows. We meter actual UV output with a calibrated radiometer and replace only lamps that test below 40µW/cm², documenting the before/after reading in your job record.
- Nikro SL4000 series HEPA air purifiers develop blower wheel imbalance from fine Front Range dust loading. The pleated media traps more particulate than designed for in Denver’s dry, dusty climate, and the imbalance vibrates the cabinet until seals crack. We pull the wheel, photograph the dust cake pattern, clean or replace the wheel, and reseal with fresh gaskets - not duct tape.
- Nikro Dri-Eaz and Abatement cross-branded units show false-negative mold clearance readings after DIY sanitizing attempts. Homeowners who spray over-the-counter biocides leave dead but intact spore structures that pass casual air sampling. We run pre- and post-treatment spore trap analysis with an independent lab, then apply EPA-registered antimicrobial through proper fogging contact time, not surface misting.
- Nikro HEPA 500 negative air machines lose filtration efficiency when pre-filters are skipped in wildfire season. Denver’s summer smoke events load the primary HEPA faster than standard change intervals predict. We inspect the pressure differential across the filter bank, log the reading, and replace the full set - pre-filter, carbon, and HEPA - when the dP exceeds manufacturer spec, not on a calendar guess.
- Nikro UVGI duct-mount systems in older Capitol Hill homes corrode the lamp holder from galvanic reaction with original galvanized ductwork. The dissimilar metals and Denver’s low humidity accelerate contact pitting until the lamp arcs or fails to strike. We replace the ceramic holder with a nickel-plated upgrade, document the duct material in the photo record, and note it for future service intervals.
Our Nikro Air Quality & Sanitizing Process
- 1
Written scope and price. We inspect the Nikro unit, identify the model and serial, and deliver a written price before any panel comes off. Haven Standard Clause 1 - no exceptions.
- 2
Photo documentation of condition. Every register, plenum, and main trunk line is photographed before work begins. Here is what the camera found. Here is what it costs to fix it. You decide.
- 3
Parts decision with options. We stock OEM Nikro lamps, filters, and gaskets, and carry quality aftermarket equivalents where the OEM offers no functional advantage. We name the source and warranty on each before you choose.
- 4
Service execution with metering. UV output gets radiometer verification. HEPA flow gets anemometer check. Antimicrobial application gets timed contact verification. Nothing is assumed effective.
- 5
Post-service testing and photo record. We re-meter, re-photograph, and compile the documented photo record - before, during, after - into your standard job deliverable.
- 6
Written guarantee activation. The 365-Day Done Right Promise is dated and signed before we leave. If it’s not right, we make it right.

Why Denver Homeowners Call CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Denver for Nikro Work
We’ve serviced Nikro equipment in Denver since 2013, including jobs where the original installer is no longer reachable and the homeowner needs a technician who can read the wiring diagram without calling a factory hotline. Tomas Reyes and our crew know the difference between a PS1000 and a Dri-Eaz-branded equivalent, and we stock the parts that fail predictably in this climate. Every job carries the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing, every technician is background-checked and uniformed under Haven Standard Clause 3: Verified Crews, and we also service Lennox, Trane, and Carrier systems when your home has mixed equipment. The photo record is included, not extra. The price is written, not whispered.
FAQs
No. As an independent Nikro service provider, we use OEM or equivalent-spec parts and document serial numbers and installation dates, which satisfies warranty record requirements. We are not affiliated with or authorized by Nikro, and we do not represent the manufacturer - but our documentation practices protect your coverage. Call (720) 799-2292 if you need a warranty packet for your records.
We deliver spore trap results from an independent lab, plus the documented photo record showing application coverage and contact time. The camera doesn’t negotiate. If post-treatment lab results exceed baseline targets, we retreat at no charge under the 365-Day Done Right Promise.
Replace when repair exceeds 60% of comparable new equipment cost, or when the unit lacks current filtration standards. We give you both numbers in writing - repair price and replacement price - with efficiency and filtration comparisons, so the decision is yours with real data. Free estimates make the math easy.
We stock lamps, filters, and common hardware for PS-series and SL-series units at our Denver warehouse. Specialty items ship from Nikro’s Midwest distribution in 2-3 business days. We never start a job until the correct part is in hand - no temporary fixes, no return trips on your schedule.
The $79 coupon model relies on upselling inside your home - per-vent charges, “mold” you cannot see, equipment you did not request. We quote one flat price per system before arrival, document what we find with photographs, and apply antimicrobial only where lab evidence supports it. The difference is verifiable. Call (720) 799-2292 and we’ll put our written estimate next to any competitor’s.
