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.
Air Duct Cleaning in Plano, TX
HVAC cleaning in Plano typically runs $350-$650 for a whole-system job, with air quality and sanitizing services adding $200-$450 depending on whether mold treatment or UV installation is needed. Plano’s 1980s and early 1990s housing stock - original flex-duct systems now 35-45 years old - creates mechanical conditions that filter changes alone cannot fix: collapsed liner, disconnected boots, and compacted debris throughout sprawling two-story duct networks. At CleanRun, every Plano job starts with a written price before work begins and ends with a Documented Photo Record of every duct run, delivered as part of the standard job record.

Why Plano Homes Are Different
Plano’s explosive 1980s suburban buildout produced one of the fastest-growing housing stocks in U.S. history at the time, leaving a dense concentration of homes whose original flex-duct systems are now 35-45 years old. These aging systems, common throughout West and Central Plano subdivisions like Willow Bend and Kings Ridge, suffer from collapsed liner, disconnected joints at register boots, and decades of compacted debris that no filter change can address. The Blackland Prairie’s expansive clay soil shrinks dramatically during prolonged 100°F+ summers, causing slab movement that pulls duct boots loose from registers in slab-on-grade homes and allows attic dust and fiberglass particles to bypass the system entirely. Plano also sits within one of North Texas’s highest pollen corridors for mountain cedar, oak, and ragweed, accelerating allergen accumulation inside return-side ductwork. In older west-side subdivisions, technicians routinely find that original fiberglass duct board plenums have absorbed enough moisture over decades of humid DFW springs that interior surfaces harbor mold colonies a filter replacement cannot touch.
Our Main Plano Services
Plano homeowners call us most often for deep duct cleaning and dryer vent maintenance, though aging systems here frequently need restorative sealing work as well.
Air Duct Cleaning in Plano
We clean the full duct network - supply and return runs, plenum, and registers - using negative-pressure extraction (a vacuum system that pulls debris out while containing it) and rotary brush agitation from Rotobrush and Nikro equipment. In Plano’s older homes, we regularly find 2-4 inches of compacted debris at first elbows and collapsed flex-duct sections that require repair before cleaning can be effective. Every job includes a Documented Photo Record of every run, before and after. Air Duct Cleaning in Plano

Dryer Vent Cleaning in Plano
Dryer vent cleaning removes lint accumulation from the transition duct, wall run, and exterior termination hood. Plano’s mature landscaping and established neighborhoods mean many homes have original vent routings through 2-story walls or long horizontal runs under slab foundations that trap moisture and lint. We inspect with a camera, clean with rotary tools, and verify airflow at the termination. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Plano

Duct Repair & Sealing in Plano
Duct repair addresses disconnected boots, collapsed flex-duct sections, and deteriorated plenum boards that are standard findings in Plano’s 1980s-era systems. Sealing restores conditioned-air containment using mastic and mechanical fasteners, not tape. Many Plano homes lose 20-30% of conditioned air through leaks that cleaning alone cannot fix.

AfterHVAC Cleaning in Plano

HVAC cleaning in Plano means addressing the mechanical consequences of 35-45-year-old systems in a climate where 100°F+ summers run five months and pollen loads are among the highest in North Texas. The evaporator coils, blower assemblies, and condensate pans in these homes work against decades of accumulated debris and often show mold growth from chronically clogged drains. We approach each component as a distinct sub-job with its own scope, price, and documentation. HVAC Cleaning covers our full methodology for homeowners researching before they call.
Evaporator Coil Cleaning
Signs you need it
Ice buildup on refrigerant lines, weak airflow from registers, or a musty odor when the AC cycles on in Plano’s humid spring months.
What it costs in Plano
Evaporator coil cleaning in Plano typically runs $180-$320 for accessible A-coils in attic air handlers, with price set in writing before work starts under Haven Standard Clause 1.
How we do it
We remove the access panel, apply foaming cleaner formulated for aluminum fins, rinse with low-pressure water, and photograph the coil before and after for the job record.
Blower Cleaning
Signs you need it
Vibration noise from the air handler, uneven airflow room-to-room, or dust puffing from registers when the fan starts.
What it costs in Plano
Blower motor and wheel cleaning in Plano typically runs $150-$280, with the written price delivered before any panel comes off.
How we do it
We remove the blower assembly, clean the wheel blades and housing with compressed air and solvent, balance the wheel, and reassemble with torque to manufacturer spec.
What HVAC Cleaning Costs in Plano
| Item | Typical range in Plano |
|---|---|
| Evaporator coil cleaning | $180-$320 |
| Blower cleaning | $150-$280 |
| Condenser coil cleaning | $120-$220 |
How do I know my HVAC needs cleaning versus just my ducts?
If the blower wheel shows debris buildup or the evaporator coil has visible mold, duct cleaning alone will not fix the source of contamination. We inspect both during our initial assessment and report findings with photos before quoting.
Can HVAC cleaning improve my cooling bills in Plano summers?
Clean coils and blowers move air more efficiently, which can reduce runtime during peak load; most Plano homeowners see the clearest benefit in restored airflow to second-story rooms that were previously starved.
Air Quality & Sanitizing in Plano

Air quality and sanitizing in Plano addresses what cleaning leaves behind: active mold colonies in moisture-compromised plenums, bacterial contamination in condensate pans, and persistent odors from decades of organic debris embedded in porous fiberglass duct board. Plano’s 1980s-era systems, with their original duct board and humid spring seasons, create conditions where physical removal must be followed by chemical or light-based treatment to prevent immediate recontamination. Air Quality & Sanitizing details our full protocol for homeowners comparing approaches.
Mold Treatment
Signs you need it
Visible black or green growth on duct board plenum interiors, musty odor that returns within days of filter change, or allergy symptoms that spike when the HVAC runs.
What it costs in Plano
Mold treatment for accessible plenum and nearby duct runs in Plano typically runs $350-$650, with scope and price written before application begins.
How we do it
We apply EPA-registered antimicrobial through a fogging system to all affected surfaces, allow proper dwell time, and verify with post-treatment photography included in the job record.
UV Light Installation
Signs you need it
Recurring mold despite cleaning, chronic musty odor from the air handler, or a household member with mold-sensitive respiratory conditions.
What it costs in Plano
UV-C lamp installation in Plano typically runs $400-$750 including lamp, mounting hardware, and electrical connection to the air handler.
How we do it
We mount a UV-C lamp with sight glass in the supply plenum, wire to the blower circuit for automatic operation, and document placement and intensity reading in the job record.
What Air Quality & Sanitizing Costs in Plano
| Item | Typical range in Plano |
|---|---|
| Mold treatment (plenum/accessible runs) | $350-$650 |
| Bacteria sanitizing (whole system) | $250-$450 |
| UV light installation | $400-$750 |
Is mold treatment safe for my family during application?
We evacuate the home during application and for the required dwell period, then ventilate thoroughly before re-entry; the antimicrobial we use is EPA-registered for HVAC systems and leaves no residual airborne hazard when applied to manufacturer protocol.
How long does UV light last before replacement?
UV-C lamps typically maintain effective output for 9,000-12,000 hours of operation, roughly 12-18 months in a Plano climate where HVAC runs heavily; we note installation date in your job record and can schedule replacement.
