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 Duct Repair & Sealing in Lewisville: What to Know First
CleanRun provides independent Aprilaire duct repair and sealing in Lewisville with written prices delivered before any work starts and every duct run photographed before and after. Most Aprilaire jobs we see in Lewisville homes are completed in a single scheduled visit, with turnaround depending on whether we’re sealing accessible plenum connections or replacing degraded flex duct in the attic. We are not affiliated with or authorized by Aprilaire; we are an independent service provider that works on the systems already installed in your home.
This page is for homeowners in Lewisville, Castle Hills, and the surrounding area who have an Aprilaire whole-home air cleaner, humidifier, or ventilation system connected to ductwork that is leaking, sagging, or pulling loose from its registers. If your Aprilaire unit is working but your rooms aren’t heating or cooling evenly, the problem is often in the ducts, not the unit. Call (940) 240-8552 for a free estimate with a written price before we start.
How Aprilaire Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- Model 5000 Electronic Air Cleaner: The cabinet is heavy and mounts directly to the return plenum. Over years, the weight stress cracks the mastic seal where the cabinet meets the duct board, especially in Lewisville’s summer heat cycles that expand and contract the metal. We remove the unit, re-seal with fresh mastic, and reinforce the connection with mechanical supports so the seal holds.
- Model 600 and 700 Humidifiers: The bypass or fan-powered duct connections are 6-inch round taps that often loosen where they penetrate the supply plenum. The humidifier itself runs fine, but conditioned air leaks into the attic or wall cavity through the degraded grommet. We replace the factory grommet with a reinforced collar and re-seal with mastic rated for the temperature swing.
- Model 8126X Ventilation Controller: This unit’s intake and exhaust duct runs are often flex duct stretched across long attic distances in newer Lewisville builds from 2015 to 2022. The negative pressure from the ventilator collapses cheap flex duct at elbows, restricting airflow and straining the fan motor. We replace collapsed sections with properly supported flex or convert to rigid metal where the run allows.
- Model 1910 Dehumidifier: The return and supply connections on this whole-home unit are 10-inch flex duct that sags in hot attics, creating low spots where condensation pools and microbial growth follows. We lift the sag with proper strapping, replace water-damaged duct, and verify the slope drains correctly to the condensate line.
- Model 1210 and 1410 Media Air Cleaners: These 5-inch media cabinets have a smaller footprint than the 5000 series, but the thinner return duct connections are prone to separation at the starting collar in homes near Lewisville’s older Castle Hills section where original ductwork was undersized for the static pressure. We reinforce the collar connection and upgrade to a heavier-gauge starting collar when the original has fatigued.
Our Aprilaire Duct Repair & Sealing Process

- 1
Visual and camera inspection. We photograph the inside of every accessible duct run, the plenum connections, and the Aprilaire unit mounting points. The camera showed a 3-inch debris build-up at the first elbow on a job we ran last month in Castle Hills.
- 2
Written scope and price. Before any panel comes off, we deliver a written price for the exact work needed. Haven Standard Clause 1: No work starts without a written price agreed in writing.
- 3
Parts decision. For Aprilaire-specific collars, grommets, and cabinet gaskets, we use OEM when the part is available and the price is reasonable. For standard duct connections and flex duct, we use quality aftermarket from trade-recognized manufacturers that meet or exceed OEM spec.
- 4
Repair and seal. We re-seal with mastic, replace degraded flex or damaged metal, and reinforce connections with mechanical supports. Every joint is pressure-tested where accessible.
- 5
Photo documentation and test. We photograph the completed work, run the system, and verify airflow at the registers. The customer receives the before-and-after photo record as a standard deliverable.
- 6
Written guarantee. The 365-Day Done Right Promise is documented on the invoice before we leave.

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 tends to sag and accumulate 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. He built CleanRun around one habit: photographing what’s in the duct before and after, so the homeowner can see exactly what changed and for how much.
Every job is backed by the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing, not as a policy subject to manager approval. Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed under Haven Standard Clause 3: Verified Crews. We also service Lennox, Trane, and Carrier systems, which matters when your Aprilaire unit is integrated with a multi-brand HVAC setup and the problem could be in either component. Here’s the before photo. Now let’s talk about what happens next.
FAQs
No. Servicing the duct connections around your Aprilaire unit does not void the manufacturer’s product warranty, provided the unit itself is not modified. We are an independent Aprilaire service provider, not authorized by the manufacturer, and we document our work so any future warranty claim on the unit itself is supported by clear records of what was touched and what was not. Call (940) 240-8552 if you have questions about your specific unit.
For cabinet gaskets, mounting collars, and humidifier bypass grommets specific to Aprilaire dimensions, we use OEM. For standard duct connections, flex duct, and mastic sealant, quality aftermarket meets or exceeds OEM spec at lower cost. We specify which is which on the written estimate, and we don’t mark up OEM parts beyond reasonable trade pricing. Call (940) 240-8552 for a free estimate with exact part specifications.
Repair the ducts first if your Aprilaire unit is less than 10 years old and functioning. Most airflow and efficiency problems we see in Lewisville homes are duct leaks, not unit failure. If the unit is failing separately, we’ll note that in our inspection and give you a written second opinion on replacement versus repair. Call (940) 240-8552 for an inspection and documented recommendation.
Most single-component repairs, such as re-sealing a humidifier bypass or replacing a section of flex duct, are completed in two to four hours. Full plenum re-seals with multiple duct runs may take a full day. We schedule by the job, not by the hour, and the written price does not change if the work runs longer than estimated. Call (940) 240-8552 to schedule.
Every duct run is photographed before and after, and you receive the photo record as a standard deliverable. We also test airflow at the registers and document static pressure readings where accessible. The 365-Day Done Right Promise means if you suspect a leak was missed, we return and make it right. Call (940) 240-8552 with any concern within the year.
