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.

AfterFast, Reliable HVAC Cleaning Across Dallas
HVAC cleaning in Dallas typically costs $425-$680 for a full system cleaning, including evaporator coil, blower, air handler, and supply/return duct runs. Most Dallas homes we service have one system in the attic and we complete the work in a single 4-6 hour visit. If your AC has been running hard since April and the registers are throwing dust onto the furniture, call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll give you a written price before anything comes apart.
We’re CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning, and we’ve spent more than a decade documenting what actually lives inside Dallas ductwork. Not in a generic way. In the specific way that matters when you live on expansive clay soil with an attic full of flex duct and a blower that hasn’t stopped spinning since spring. Dispatch and scheduling are coordinated from our Dallas-Fort Worth office, and crews serve Dallas locally every day.
Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Is Dallas’s Preferred HVAC Cleaning Company
The answer sits in the photo record. Every HVAC cleaning job in Dallas starts with a written price and ends with a documented photo record of every duct run, coil, and blower wheel we touched. Customers can see the before and after, not take our word for it. That’s been our standard since the first job in 2013, and it’s written into the H.A.V.E.N. Standard we operate under.
The Dallas HVAC market is crowded with $79 coupons and shop-vac noise. We answer that directly. Haven Standard Clause 1 means a written price before any panel comes off, and the number on the written estimate is the number you pay. No per-vent upselling, no surprise coil treatment add-ons after the attic is already open. Tomas Reyes built the company on that principle and every technician carries it into the field.
Our crews are background-checked, uniformed, and identified by name before arrival, per Haven Standard Clause 3. The equipment in the truck is the equipment on the quote: Rotobrush and Nikro negative-pressure extraction systems, backed by HEPA filtration. Dallas homeowners who research before they call tend to recognize those names.
Our HVAC Cleaning Services in Dallas
Evaporator Coil Cleaning
Evaporator coil cleaning in Dallas runs $180-$340, and it’s the single highest-impact service we perform on slab-on-grade homes with attic air handlers. The coil sits directly in the return airstream, and in Dallas that airstream carries oak pollen, juniper, crumbled fiberglass from aging duct board, and attic dust pulled in through separated flex-duct joints. A coated coil loses heat transfer fast. When we clean it, the camera shows you the difference.
Blower Cleaning
Blower cleaning in Dallas runs $70-$180 and matters more here than in most cities because the blower wheel in a Dallas attic system runs April through October, thousands of hours longer than in milder climates. Add the dust that bypasses a dirty filter, and the wheel blades load up like a squirrel cage. We pull the blower, document the buildup, clean it, and photograph it before it goes back in.
Condenser Cleaning
Condenser cleaning for the outdoor unit runs $90-$200 in Dallas, with the main variable being whether the coil is single-row or double-row. Dallas’s cottonwood season in late spring is the enemy here. The condenser sits outside pulling airborne cottonwood fluff, grass clippings, and construction dust from the metro’s endless building boom directly into the coil fins. A clogged condenser runs refrigerant pressures high and shortens compressor life.
Air Handler Cleaning
Air handler cleaning in Dallas runs $150-$300 and includes the blower housing, the return plenum, the condensate pan, and the interior surfaces of the unit. Older Dallas homes, particularly 1960s-1980s ranch and split-level stock in Lake Highlands, Farmers Branch, and Oak Cliff, often still have original fiberglass duct board crumbling into the air handler. We see it on nearly every older home we open. The fix is source removal with negative pressure, not a surface wipe.

BeforeAfterTrusted Brands We Service in Dallas
We service all major residential HVAC brands found in Dallas homes: Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Goodman, Rheem, and American Standard. The cleaning approach doesn’t change by brand, but the access points do, and our crews know where the coil door sits on each cabinet style. We stock common replacement filter sizes and condensate pan tabs on the truck so a routine cleaning in Dallas doesn’t turn into a parts run across the metro. The equipment we use is the equipment you can look up independently: Rotobrush, Nikro, and Honeywell filtration components on every job.
Common HVAC Cleaning Problems We See in Dallas Homes
- Separated flex-duct joints from clay soil movement. Dallas sits on some of North America’s most expansive black clay, and when it heaves and settles through wet-dry cycles, slab foundations move microscopically but enough to pull attic flex-duct connections apart. The result is unfiltered attic air entering the supply side. Joint resealing and slack correction are routine parts of HVAC cleaning here, not optional add-ons.
- Kinked or collapsed flex runs installed with too little slack. In East Dallas and Oak Cliff specifically, crews routinely find flex duct that was pulled tight on install, and ten years of soil movement have kinked it like a garden hose. Airflow drops, the blower works harder, and the coil freezes. We carry extra flex and mastic on every Dallas truck without being asked.
- Fiberglass duct board shedding into the airstream. Homes built in the 1960s through 1980s across Dallas often used fiberglass duct board for return plenums and trunk lines. Decades of 140°F+ attic summers bake that material brittle, and it starts shedding glass fibers that coat the evaporator coil and blow into living spaces. This isn’t a cleaning problem you can solve by changing the filter.
- Allergen mats from the long cooling season. Dallas’s pollen calendar runs nearly year-round: Ashe juniper in winter, oak and elm in spring, ragweed in fall. With AC running April through October, those pollens get pulled deep into supply and return ducts and build into visible mats on interior surfaces. The first blast of AC in May often smells musty because of it.

FAQs - HVAC Cleaning in Dallas
Because Dallas sits on a much deeper layer of expansive black clay than Fort Worth’s more mixed soils, and that clay expands and contracts dramatically with seasonal moisture changes. Every slab-on-grade Dallas home moves with it, and that movement transfers into the attic structure where flex-duct joints and rigid trunk connections pull apart. Fort Worth soils are generally more mixed and less expansive, so the problem exists there but at a lower rate. This is the defining driver of HVAC contamination in Dallas homes, and it’s why we treat joint inspection and resealing as a core part of every cleaning, not a repair upsell. Call (806) 606-6902 if you want a camera in your ducts to see whether this is happening in your attic.
The clay soil shifts your slab, the slab shift pulls apart the attic flex-duct joints above, and those gaps let attic air into the return side of your system. That attic air carries insulation fibers, rodent dander, and construction dust directly into the airstream, and the evaporator coil is the first thing that air hits. The coil loads up with debris that reduces heat transfer and increases energy use. In East Dallas homes especially, where soil movement is relentless and housing stock is older, we see coils caked with this material on most cleanings. The fix is cleaning the coil and closing the gaps that feed it.
Yes. Homes built in the 1960s through 1980s across Dallas, including much of Lake Highlands and Oak Cliff, commonly used fiberglass duct board for return plenums and some trunk lines. After 40-50 years of 140°F+ attic heat, that board becomes brittle and sheds glass fibers into the airstream continuously. Those fibers coat the evaporator coil, collect on the blower wheel, and come out of the registers. Homes with original duct board need cleaning more frequently than homes with insulated flex throughout, and in some cases the long-term answer is duct board replacement rather than repeated cleaning. We’ll show you the camera footage either way.
Yes, and it’s one of the most common reasons Dallas homeowners call us. The smell isn’t the pollen itself in most cases. It’s the biological material that builds up on wet surfaces in the air handler and evaporator coil: pollen, dust, and skin cells trapped in a damp environment. When the AC kicks on, the airstream passes over that material and carries the musty odor through the supply registers. Cleaning the coil, the blower housing, and the air handler interior removes the source. If you’re in Dallas and the smell persists after cleaning, the next place we look is the duct work itself.
Every 3 to 5 years, and on the shorter end of that range if you heat with wood and live on an unpaved road. Rural Dallas County properties outside the metro core deal with airborne dust and allergen loads that city streets don’t produce, plus wood smoke particulates that stick to every interior surface of the HVAC system. If the blower runs most days and the filters are catching visible road dust monthly, the system is working hard. We recommend inspecting at the 3-year mark and deciding from the camera evidence, not from a calendar. Call (806) 606-6902 for a free estimate, and we’ll help you set a realistic interval based on what’s actually in there.
