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.
Aprilaire Air Quality & Sanitizing in Lewisville: What to Know First
We provide independent Aprilaire air quality and sanitizing services in Lewisville, with most jobs scheduled within a few business days and completed in a single visit. Whole-system sanitizing for Aprilaire-equipped homes typically runs $380-$620, and we deliver that number in writing before any panel comes off. This page is for homeowners running Aprilaire whole-home purifiers, humidifiers, or ventilation systems who’ve noticed persistent odors, allergy flare-ups, or visible microbial growth and want the work documented, not just described. Call (940) 240-8552 for a written estimate.
How Aprilaire Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- Model 5000 Electronic Air Cleaner - ozone odor and white dust residue. The ionizing wires in this series can produce excess ozone when the collector plates develop a conductive film from Lewisville’s hard water and mineral-rich dust. We remove the cell assembly, clean the plates with manufacturer-recommended solution rather than dishwasher methods that strip the factory coating, and test ozone output with a calibrated meter before reassembly.
- Model 800 Steam Humidifier - scale buildup breeding bacteria in the canister. Lewisville water runs 180-220 ppm hardness, and the 800’s electrode canister accumulates calcium faster than the 600 series flow-through units. The “clean” light often triggers late. We pull the canister, photograph the scale layer, and recommend either OEM replacement or a treated-canister retrofit depending on whether the electrodes have eroded past the 3/8-inch minimum length.
- Model 1820/1830 Dehumidifier - musty discharge from clogged condensate and dirty coils. These crawl-space units in Lewisville’s clay-heavy soils often sit in humidity that never drops below 60%. The condensate pump trap dries out, and the aluminum fins collect a biofilm that aerosolizes into the supply duct. We disassemble the cabinet, clean the coil with foaming cleaner and a soft fin comb, and treat the drain pan with a slow-release antimicrobial tablet rated for HVAC use.
- Model 1210/2210/3210 Media Air Cleaner - bypass air and filter collapse. The MERV 13 media in these cabinets can pleat-collapse when homeowners in Lewisville’s newer construction (Castle Hills, Vista Ridge) run the fan continuously during pollen season. Collapsed media creates a bypass gap that defeats the seal. We check the track rails for warping from Texas attic heat, replace with factory-spec media (never cut-down generics that compromise the gasket), and verify static pressure drop across the clean filter.
- Model 8145/8144 Ventilation Controller - intake duct contamination from pollen and construction dust. Lewisville’s spring oak pollen and ongoing development near Old Town send fine particulate through the fresh-air intake. The damper shaft seizes, and the intake duct - often flex in attics above 140°F - sags and holds moisture. We scope the intake run with a camera, document any sag or standing water, and sanitize with a botanical antimicrobial applied through negative-pressure extraction so nothing blows forward into the living space.
Our Aprilaire Air Quality & Sanitizing Process

- 1
Written scope and price delivered on arrival. Haven Standard Clause 1: the technician presents a single flat price for the full system before any work begins. No per-vent add-ons, no “we found more” surprises.
- 2
Photo documentation of every duct run. We insert a borescope camera at each register and the plenum (the main distribution box), capturing what the Aprilaire unit is actually receiving and sending. The homeowner sees the image before we discuss what needs to happen.
- 3
Component-specific diagnosis. We identify whether the issue originates in the Aprilaire unit itself, the connected ductwork, or the HVAC system’s airflow dynamics. Each requires a different approach.
- 4
OEM or verified-equivalent parts decision. For Aprilaire units under warranty, we use OEM parts to preserve coverage. Out-of-warranty systems may receive quality aftermarket equivalents we document in writing.
- 5
Sanitizing application with negative-pressure containment. We seal the register, apply the treatment, and extract overspray so nothing enters the occupied space. The process is photographed.
- 6
Post-work photo record and 365-Day Done Right Promise. Every run is photographed after completion. The customer receives the full record, and the written guarantee activates automatically.

Why Lewisville Homeowners Call CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Lewisville for Aprilaire Work

We’ve been running jobs in Lewisville since 2013, including plenty of older homes near Castle Hills where the flex duct sags and accumulates debris in ways that don’t show up until you put a camera inside. Tomas Reyes, our owner, picked up his HVAC fundamentals at Manhattan’s Apex Technical School and has spent two-plus decades working inside ductwork across North Texas. Every CleanRun job carries the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing, not as a verbal assurance, and every technician is background-checked and uniformed under Haven Standard Clause 3: Verified Crews. We also service Lennox, Trane, and Carrier systems, so we’re not guessing when your Aprilaire interfaces with another brand’s furnace or coil. The photo record is included, not extra. Here’s the before photo. Now let’s talk about what happens next.
FAQs
No, if the work is performed by a qualified technician using OEM-specified materials and methods. As an independent Aprilaire service provider, we document every step and use factory-recommended cleaning agents on components still under warranty. Call (940) 240-8552 and we’ll verify your unit’s warranty status before scheduling.
You receive a Documented Photo Record of every duct run and the Aprilaire component itself, before and after, as a standard deliverable on every CleanRun visit. The photo is dated and referenced to your written scope. If we can’t show it, we didn’t do it.
Replace if the control board has failed, the cabinet is rusted through, or repair parts are obsolete. Repair if the issue is cleanable scale, replaceable media, or a failed UV lamp in an otherwise sound cabinet. We put both numbers in writing under Haven Standard Clause 1 so you can decide with the facts.
Every three to five years for standard homes, every two to three years if you have pets, allergies, or run continuous fan operation during pollen season. Lewisville’s oak pollen peaks in March and April, and the clay soils hold humidity longer than sandy areas, both of which accelerate microbial growth in ductwork.
The $79 coupon model typically covers a brief vacuum at the register, not the full system. We quote one flat price per system agreed before work starts, with no per-vent pricing, and we photograph every run so you can verify what was actually cleaned. Bring any written competitor quote; we’ll provide a Free Second Opinion in writing.
