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 Denton, TX
Whole-system HVAC cleaning in Denton typically runs $450-$850 for a standard residential job, with pricing set in writing before any panel comes off. Denton’s combination of aging university-rental housing stock and relentless summer cooling loads creates duct conditions we don’t see in newer North Texas suburbs - corroded galvanized boots, sagging flex duct, and return plenums packed with debris from successive tenant generations. For a written estimate on your home, call (940) 240-8552.
Why Denton Homes Are Different
Denton sits on the southern edge of the Great Plains, and that geography shapes every job we run here. From May through September, attic-mounted ductwork bakes at sustained temperatures above 140°F, accelerating flex duct breakdown and loosening debris into the air stream. Spring allergen seasons hit hard - Denton County consistently records extreme mountain cedar, oak, and elm pollen loads that infiltrate return-air systems and compound indoor air quality problems in homes already running their systems hard.
The housing stock tells its own story. Near the UNT and TWU campuses, 1950s-1980s homes along Hickory Street, Mulberry Street, and the Fry Street corridor cycle through tenants annually while landlords defer HVAC maintenance. Technicians regularly find ductwork that has gone 15-25 years without professional cleaning. Meanwhile, sprawling tract subdivisions at Rayzor Ranch and Robson Ranch drive post-build cleaning demand from construction debris. Two distinct markets, one set of climate pressures.
Our Main Denton Services
These are the three services Denton homeowners call about most. Each has its own detailed page with full pricing and scope.
Air Duct Cleaning in Denton
Whole-system negative-pressure extraction for single-family homes, townhomes, and the rental properties near campus that have never seen a proper cleaning. We photograph every duct run before and after, and the photo record is included as a standard deliverable. Our crews work with Rotobrush and Nikro equipment to dislodge debris from original galvanized boots and degraded flex duct that other companies won’t touch. Air Duct Cleaning in Denton
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Denton
Lint accumulation in dryer vents is a genuine fire hazard, especially in the high-turnover rental stock south of UNT where maintenance histories are nonexistent. We clean the full vent run from appliance to termination, inspect for proper airflow, and document the before condition. Every job gets a written price upfront and a photo record of what was removed.

BeforeAfterHVAC Cleaning in Denton
HVAC cleaning in Denton means addressing systems that have been running nearly nonstop through summers hot enough to cook attic ductwork, often in homes where the only “maintenance” has been a tenant swapping the filter when they remembered. We clean the components that actually move and condition your air, not just the ducts that carry it. For a full overview of our methods and equipment, see our HVAC Cleaning page.
Evaporator Coil Cleaning
Signs you need it
Ice buildup on the coil, weak airflow from registers, or a musty smell when the AC cycles on in July.
What it costs in Denton
Evaporator coil cleaning in Denton typically runs $280-$450.
How we do it
We access the coil through the plenum, apply foaming cleaner, rinse with low-pressure water, and photograph the before and after condition for your job record.
Blower Cleaning
Signs you need it
Dust puffing from registers at startup, uneven heating or cooling, or a blower motor straining audibly.
What it costs in Denton
Blower cleaning in Denton typically runs $200-$350.
How we do it
We remove the blower assembly, clean the wheel and housing with compressed air and solvent, balance the assembly, and reinstall with torque to manufacturer spec.
What HVAC Cleaning Costs in Denton
| Item | Typical range in Denton |
|---|---|
| Evaporator coil cleaning | $280-$450 |
| Blower cleaning | $200-$350 |
| Condenser cleaning | $180-$320 |
How do I know my HVAC system needs cleaning, not just the ducts?
If your registers blow clean but the air smells musty, or if cooling drops off in August while the blower runs constantly, the coil or blower is likely clogged with Denton’s pollen and dust load. Call (940) 240-8552 and we’ll scope it.
Can HVAC cleaning fix weak airflow in my older Denton home?
It often can, especially in the 1960s-1980s rentals near campus where the blower wheel has never been removed. If the ductwork itself is damaged, we’ll show you and quote repair separately.
Air Quality & Sanitizing in Denton
Denton’s severe pollen seasons and aging rental housing create a specific problem: return plenums and duct runs that have accumulated not just dust but biological growth from decades of moisture and tenant turnover. Air quality work here targets what standard cleaning leaves behind. For equipment details and our full sanitizing protocol, see Air Quality & Sanitizing.
Mold Treatment
Signs you need it
Visible growth inside registers, a persistent earthy smell, or allergy symptoms that spike when the system runs.
What it costs in Denton
Mold treatment in Denton typically runs $350-$650 depending on affected duct length.
How we do it
We apply an EPA-registered antimicrobial through the full duct system, let it dwell per manufacturer spec, then extract residue and photograph every treated run.
UV Light Installation
Signs you need it
Recurring mold after treatment, or a home with chronic moisture issues in the HVAC cabinet.
What it costs in Denton
UV light installation in Denton typically runs $400-$750 including the lamp and electrical connection.
How we do it
We mount a Honeywell or Guardsman UV-C lamp in the supply plenum, wire to the blower circuit, and show you the installation before we close the panel.
What Air Quality & Sanitizing Costs in Denton
| Item | Typical range in Denton |
|---|---|
| Mold treatment | $350-$650 |
| UV light installation | $400-$750 |
| Bacteria sanitizing | $300-$550 |
Is mold in Denton ducts common because of the heat?
Heat alone doesn’t cause mold, but the temperature swings in Denton attic ductwork create condensation, and decades of deferred maintenance in rental stock gives it time to establish. We find active growth in roughly one-third of pre-1990 homes we inspect.
Will UV lights actually reduce allergens in my Denton home?
UV-C lamps kill mold spores and bacteria on the coil and in the plenum, but they don’t filter pollen from the air stream. For pollen, pair UV with a media filter upgrade. We can quote both.
Brands We Service in Denton
We clean and service systems from every major manufacturer, and our vans stock common replacement parts for Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Rheem, and Goodman to minimize return trips. For a full list of brands and parts availability, see our brands page.
