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.

AfterAir Duct Cleaning in Carrollton, TX
HVAC cleaning in Carrollton typically runs $280-$520 for a whole-system service, and every job starts with a written price before a panel comes off. Carrollton’s 1975-1995 housing stock, original flex duct, and five-month cooling season at 95-105°F mean systems here accumulate debris faster than in cooler markets. Call (940) 240-8552 for a written estimate with no obligation.
We’re CleanRun Duct Repair & Cleaning, independently owned and operated under the Haven Standard since 2013.

Why Carrollton Homes Are Different
Carrollton’s residential core built out between 1975 and 1995, leaving thousands of slab-on-grade homes with original flex duct and duct-board plenums now entering their fourth decade. North Texas attics reach 140°F+ from June through September, and that sustained heat delaminates flex duct inner liners, shedding fiberglass into the airstream far faster than in cooler climates. The Blackland Prairie clay beneath these slabs swells in wet winters and shrinks in drought summers, racking register boots just enough to pull unfiltered attic air - and blown insulation fibers - directly into supply ducts. In Carrollton, we routinely find boots separated by a quarter-inch that the homeowner never noticed because the system still “works.” It does not work cleanly.
The region’s spring oak and mountain-cedar pollen season, layered with periodic West Texas dust intrusion, loads even relatively new systems heavily. Systems here run nearly continuously from May through September, so debris does not sit; it circulates.
Our Main Carrollton Services
Most Carrollton calls fall into three categories. Each has its own page with full pricing and scope details.
Air Duct Cleaning in Carrollton
Negative-pressure extraction of the full duct network, including trunk lines, branch runs, and register drops, with a photo record of every run before and after. In Carrollton’s original flex-duct homes, we also inspect boot connections for separation caused by clay-soil foundation shift. Air Duct Cleaning in Carrollton
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Carrollton
Full vent run cleaning from appliance to termination, with airflow measurement before and after. Carrollton’s lint accumulation rates run high due to heavy cotton use and long vent runs in 1980s ranch layouts. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Carrollton
Duct Repair & Sealing in Carrollton
Boot reattachment, flex-duct replacement, plenum repair, and mastic sealing of accessible joints. Foundation movement here makes this a recurring need; we document before-and-after leakage with a smoke pencil. Duct Repair & Sealing in Carrollton

BeforeAfterHVAC Cleaning in Carrollton
Carrollton’s 30-45-year-old systems, running five months straight through 95-105°F heat, coat evaporator coils and blower assemblies with a layer of dust, pollen, and delaminated fiberglass that no standard duct cleaning reaches. HVAC cleaning addresses the air handling equipment itself - the coil that actually dehumidifies your air, the blower that moves it, the condenser that rejects heat. HVAC Cleaning covers the full scope; below are the two components we find most degraded in Carrollton homes.
Evaporator Coil Cleaning
Signs you need it
Ice formation on the coil, weak airflow from registers, or cooling that cannot hold setpoint on 100°F days.
What it costs in Carrollton
Evaporator coil cleaning in Carrollton typically runs $180-$340, depending on accessibility and contamination level.
How we do it
We remove the blower assembly to access the coil, apply foaming cleaner, rinse with low-pressure water, and photograph the fin condition before reassembly.
Blower Cleaning
Signs you need it
Vibration or noise from the air handler, uneven airflow room-to-room, or dust puffing from registers at startup.
What it costs in Carrollton
Blower assembly cleaning in Carrollton typically runs $140-$260.
How we do it
We remove the blower wheel and housing, clean each blade and the motor sleeve, balance the assembly, and photograph runout before reinstalling.
What HVAC Cleaning Costs in Carrollton
| Item | Typical range in Carrollton |
|---|---|
| Evaporator coil cleaning | $180-$340 |
| Blower assembly cleaning | $140-$260 |
| Full HVAC cleaning (coil + blower + condenser) | $280-$520 |
How do I know my HVAC components are actually dirty?
We photograph the coil and blower before touching them; you see the debris layer before agreeing to the scope. Every photo is delivered with the job record.
Can HVAC cleaning fix weak cooling in my older Carrollton home?
It often restores 15-25% capacity lost to coil fouling, but collapsed flex duct or separated boots require separate repair. We inspect both during the same visit.
Air Quality & Sanitizing in Carrollton
Carrollton’s combination of 30-year-old duct liners, 140°F attic heat, and heavy pollen loads creates conditions where microbial growth and persistent odors take hold in the plenum and register boots, not just the living space. Air quality treatment addresses the source - the duct system itself - rather than masking symptoms with portable units. Air Quality & Sanitizing covers the full protocol; below are the two treatments most requested in Carrollton.
Mold Treatment
Signs you need it
Musty odor at startup, visible discoloration on registers, or respiratory symptoms that worsen when the system runs.
What it costs in Carrollton
Whole-system mold treatment in Carrollton typically runs $320-$580, including application and post-treatment verification.
How we do it
We apply EPA-registered antimicrobial through the full duct network using a fogging manifold, with dwell time per manufacturer specification, then verify with ATP surface testing.
UV Light Installation
Signs you need it
Recurrent mold after cleaning, or a coil that fouls again within one season due to Carrollton’s extended cooling run times.
What it costs in Carrollton
UV-C lamp installation in Carrollton typically runs $380-$650, including lamp, ballast, and annual replacement schedule.
How we do it
We mount a 254nm UV-C lamp downstream of the coil with a sight-glass indicator, wire to the blower circuit, and photograph placement for your records.
What Air Quality & Sanitizing Costs in Carrollton
| Item | Typical range in Carrollton |
|---|---|
| Mold treatment (whole system) | $320-$580 |
| UV-C lamp installation | $380-$650 |
| Bacteria sanitizing (per system) | $220-$380 |
Is mold treatment safe for my family and pets?
We use EPA-registered products with manufacturer-specified dwell and purge times; occupants vacate during application and return two hours after ventilation begins.
How long does UV light take to work?
Surface mold on the coil drops measurably within 48 hours of first exposure; airborne reduction follows as the system cycles.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Carrollton
No permit is required for cleaning or minor sealing. Duct replacement that alters the original system layout may trigger Carrollton building department review; we handle permit documentation when scope requires it, at no additional administrative fee.
Most Carrollton homeowners book within three to five business days. Emergency scheduling for no-heat or no-cool situations is available; call (940) 240-8552 and a live person will route you directly.
Cleaning removes accumulated pollen from the duct network, but it does not seal the system against future infiltration. For homes with separated boots or torn flex duct - common here after foundation shift - we recommend pairing cleaning with repair to stop unfiltered attic air from recontaminating the system.

- Suzanne B."My allergies genuinely improved. They also told me the ducts did not need sealing, which I had been quoted for elsewhere."
