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 Pine Hills
HVAC cleaning in Pine Hills typically costs between $380 and $720 for a full system on a 1,200 to 1,800 square foot home, depending on what’s actually inside your ductwork. Most jobs are completed in a single visit. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written price before any work starts. That’s not a rough guess over the phone. It’s a fixed number you can hold us to under Haven Standard Clause 1.
We work the older grid streets of Pine Hills every week, from the ranch blocks off Silver Star Road up through the neighborhoods around Pine Hills Road and Balboa Drive. We know what’s inside these attics. Original fiberglass ductboard from the 1960s. Crushed flex runs that were never replaced when the AC unit got swapped. Disconnected return plenums pulling 140-degree attic air straight into the blower. That’s the reality of HVAC cleaning in Pine Hills, and it’s why we camera-inspect every duct run before we agitate anything.
Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Is Pine Hills’s Preferred HVAC Cleaning Company
Tomas Reyes founded CleanRun in 2013 because the duct cleaning industry had a credibility problem: $79 coupons, shop-vac noise, and invoices that tripled once the truck pulled away. So the operating rule from day one has been evidence. We photograph the inside of every duct run before and after. We hand you a written price before a single panel comes off. And we put the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing on every job, not in a marketing brochure.
Homeowners in Pine Hills call us because they’ve usually owned their home long enough to know something’s wrong. The return air smells musty every June. The blower runs constantly but the back bedroom never cools. Dust collects on the registers two days after cleaning. These are not mysteries. In most Pine Hills ranch homes, they’re symptoms of disintegrating ductboard and airflow restriction in the evaporator coil, and the evidence is visible the moment we run the camera through the first return run.
Our crews are background-checked and uniformed under Haven Standard Clause 3: Verified Crews. Dispatch is coordinated from our South Florida office, but the technicians working Pine Hills live and work locally. Every job includes a Documented Photo Record of every duct run, delivered as a standard deliverable, not an upsell.
Our HVAC Cleaning Services in Pine Hills
Evaporator Coil Cleaning
The evaporator coil sits inside the air handler, usually in a closet or a cramped attic pull-down, and it’s where your AC does the actual cooling. In Pine Hills, where systems run 10 to 11 months a year, coils build a biofilm of dust, pet dander, and Central Florida humidity that hardens into an insulating layer. That layer chokes airflow, drops your temperature split, and drives up the blower motor’s amperage. We clean coils with pressurized washing and coil-specific solvents designed for aluminum and copper fins, then document the before and after with photos. A typical evaporator coil cleaning in Pine Hills runs $180 to $310 as a standalone service, or less when bundled with ductwork.
Air Handler Cleaning
In the older homes off Balboa and Hastings, the air handler is often original to a 1980s or 1990s unit replacement, and it’s rarely been opened. Blower wheels caked with years of dust throw off their balance and reduce airflow by 20 to 30 percent before anyone notices. We pull the blower assembly, clean the wheel and housing, sanitize the drain pan, and check the evaporator coil sitting directly above it. Air handler cleaning in Pine Hills runs $160 to $280. If we find a cracked blower wheel or a failing motor capacitor during the cleaning, that’s a repair quote in writing, not an ambush.
Condenser Cleaning
The condenser is the outdoor unit, and in Pine Hills it’s dealing with pine needles, lawn clippings from the postage-stamp yards, and the fine silty dust that Orange County winds kick up every dry season. A dirty condenser coil drives up head pressure and makes the compressor work harder in heat that already pushes 95 degrees in July. We clean condenser coils by removing the fan guard, applying a foaming cleaner, and flushing the coil with a low-pressure rinse that won’t bend fins. Condenser cleaning in Pine Hills runs $120 to $200.
Coil Treatment
After cleaning, we apply a coil treatment that inhibits microbial regrowth on the evaporator and condenser surfaces. Central Florida humidity means a cleaned coil without treatment can start re-growing the same biofilm within a season. The treatment adds $45 to $85 depending on coil size, and it’s part of our standard recommendation for every Pine Hills home, not a separate upsell hidden in the small print.

BeforeAfterTrusted Brands We Service in Pine Hills
We service and clean ductwork connected to all major residential HVAC brands: Carrier, Trane, Rheem, Goodman, Lennox, York, and American Standard. Our equipment roster includes Rotobrush agitation systems for source removal and Abatement Technologies HEPA filtration for negative-pressure extraction. We also carry Guardsman and Nikro tools for the odd access situations that older Pine Hills attics always present. If your system is original to the house or a retrofit from the 1990s, we know what those installers left behind.
Common HVAC Cleaning Problems We See in Pine Hills Homes
- Crumbled fiberglass ductboard in the attic. Original 1960s ductboard breaks down under decades of 140-degree attic heat. The fiberglass facing delaminates, the inner surface erodes, and the debris ends up inside your airflow. A standard cleaning pulls the loose material out, but if the ductboard itself is deteriorating, replacement is the real fix.
- Disconnected or crushed flex runs. Installers decades ago ran flexible duct haphazardly over joists and braces. We find crushed runs where attic storage boxes rest on top of ductwork, and disconnected runs where the inner liner pulled away from the register boot. Both pull attic air directly into the system and defeat any cleaning we perform first.
- Mold embedded in fiberglass ductboard. Orange County’s summer relative humidity regularly exceeds 80%, and fiberglass ductboard wicks moisture. Mold doesn’t sit on the surface where a vacuum can pull it out; it grows into the porous substrate. We can remove the visible contamination, but biologically active ductboard returns within weeks. That’s a finding we document with photos and put in writing.
- Over-amped blower motors from years of dirty coils. A blower motor pulling against a clogged evaporator coil draws more current than it was designed for. By the time we arrive to clean the coil, the motor may already be running hot enough to trip its thermal overload. We check amperage during every cleaning and flag a motor that’s on the edge before it fails in August.

Those numbers reflect what we see in Pine Hills specifically: single-story ranch homes of 1,200 to 1,800 square feet with one air handler and 10 to 14 duct runs. Larger homes, add-a-rooms with second systems, or attics with severe accessibility issues can push the range higher. The written quote we hand you is a fixed number. It does not change because the tech “found something extra” once the panel came off. The camera inspection happens first specifically so we can price the job accurately. If the inspection shows ductboard failure or disconnected runs, we tell you before any cleaning begins.
Still comparing? Bring a competitor’s written estimate. We’ll put our own number next to it in writing, free. That’s the Free Second Opinion, and it works because in Pine Hills the comparison usually comes down to what the other company didn’t tell you about the condition of your ducts.
How Pine Hills’s Older Homes Change What “Cleaning” Really Means
Pine Hills is dominated by concrete-block ranch homes built between the mid-1950s and early 1970s. Nearly all of them route ductwork through unconditioned attics. Those attics regularly exceed 140 degrees in July and August. That heat doesn’t just make the air conditioner work harder; it actively destroys the ductwork from the inside out.
We walk into what should be a routine cleaning on a 1960s ranch off Silver Star Road, run the camera down the first return, and find fiberglass facing peeling away from the ductboard like sunburned skin. The inner liner is gone in sections, and the exposed raw fiberglass is exactly what you don’t want inside an airflow. Rotobrush agitation will pull out the loose debris, sure, but the duct itself is compromised. No amount of HEPA vacuuming un-crumbles fiberglass board. We document it, write the replacement quote, and seal off the disconnected runs so the system isn’t pulling attic air while the customer decides.
That pattern, a cleaning that turns into a replacement conversation, is far less common in the newer subdivisions of Metrowest or Ocoee, where homes were built with newer materials or had ductwork replaced at some point. In Pine Hills, the original ducts are often still in place, carrying air through material that stopped being structurally sound a decade ago. HVAC Cleaning here means first figuring out whether the ducts can survive a cleaning at all. We camera-inspect every run before we agitate. If the ductwork is too fragile, we tell you that in the written quote with photo evidence.

FAQs - HVAC Cleaning in Pine Hills
Because the homes are old and the ducts are older. Pine Hills ranch houses from the 1950s and 1960s were built with fiberglass ductboard routed through unconditioned attics. After 50 to 70 years of 140-degree heat and 80% humidity, that ductboard crumbles, delaminates, and loses structural integrity. When our techs find that during a camera inspection, they document it and write a replacement quote; cleaning alone won’t restore a duct that’s disintegrating. Call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll show you exactly what your ducts look like inside before we touch them.
The difference is the material. Newer Metrowest construction typically uses insulated flex duct with a plastic inner liner that’s still intact, so a standard negative-pressure cleaning with agitation is usually enough. Pine Hills ranches frequently have original rigid fiberglass ductboard that’s deteriorating, so cleaning has to be gentler, slower, and almost always pairs with a discussion about replacement or sealing. Our pricing reflects that difference; we never quote a Pine Hills job blind.
No, and any company that says otherwise isn’t telling you the truth. Mold in fiberglass ductboard is embedded in the porous substrate, not sitting loosely on the surface where a vacuum removes it. We can clean visible contamination and sanitize what’s left, but biologically active ductboard returns within weeks. For Pine Hills homes with embedded mold, the honest answer is replacement of the affected sections. Our camera inspection shows you the difference, in writing and photos, before you spend a dollar.
Almost certainly yes. A 1960s era duct system has been leaking and shedding debris for decades, and the evaporator coil is the final filter before that air reaches your living spaces. We regularly pull coil surfaces from Pine Hills homes that are 30 to 40 percent occluded with pet dander, fiberglass particles, and dust bonded by humidity. A dirty evaporator coil costs you money every month in reduced cooling and higher runtime. A standalone coil cleaning runs $180 to $310 in Pine Hills, and it’s the most immediate efficiency gain most homeowners can buy.
It turns a guess into a documented condition report. Without a camera, a so-called cleaning company can quote you $299 for “whole-house cleaning” and then either vacuum nothing or discover problems after you’ve committed. With our camera inspection, done before any cleaning, you see the inside of every duct run: the crumbled fiberglass, the disconnected flex, the mold, or just normal dust that a cleaning will genuinely fix. We price from what the camera shows. The inspection costs $95 to $145, and it’s credited toward the cleaning. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written quote based on your system’s actual condition.
