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 Air Duct Cleaning Across Allen
Air duct cleaning in Allen, TX usually costs between $450 and $900 for a full system on a typical two-story home, and the work takes about 4 to 6 hours. That’s the honest range we quote before a single panel comes off. Air Duct Cleaning is what we do every day, and we’ve worked inside enough Allen attics to know exactly what’s hiding in yours. Call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll put a written price in front of you before any work starts.
Allen’s homes were built fast, mostly between the early 1990s and mid-2000s, and the ductwork from that era is now reaching the point where it genuinely needs attention. Not every home. Not every year. But when a subdivision hits that 20 to 30 year mark, we see it block by block. That’s why knowing Allen specifically matters more than any generic cleaning pitch.
Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Is Allen’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
We’ve been cleaning ducts since 2013, with more than 52,000 homes served across the metro, and a meaningful share of those jobs have been inside Allen’s brick-veneer two-stories. The pattern we see in Allen is different from Plano or McKinney. Whole streets of homes built within a few years of each other now show the same deterioration: flex duct sagging at the low points, fiberglass duct board delaminating, and registers that stopped sealing years ago. Homeowners talk. That’s how we end up working down the same street. One neighbor shows another the before-and-after photos, and the phone rings.
Every job we do in Allen comes with a Documented Photo Record. The inside of every duct run is photographed before we start and after we finish. You see the debris pile at the first elbow. You see the clean metal or flex after source removal. You get the photos as part of the standard job record, not as an upsell. That’s Haven Standard Clause 2, and it’s been our practice since the company was founded.
We also make a promise most companies won’t put in writing: the 365-Day Done Right Promise. If the work isn’t right, we make it right. Not subject to manager approval. Not a policy that gets reinterpreted when you call. It’s written on every job. Tomas Reyes leads our crews, and he holds every job to the H.A.V.E.N. Standard, including Clause 1: a written price before any work starts, always.
Our Air Duct Cleaning Services in Allen
Residential Duct Cleaning
Most Allen homes have 3 to 5 ton central systems with long flex-duct runs spread across large attic spaces. Our residential cleaning covers every supply and return run, the plenum, and the registers. We use negative-pressure extraction with Rotobrush agitation tools and HEPA filtration, which matters in Allen because the spring pollen load from cedar, elm, and oak is heavy and it settles deep inside duct liners.
Commercial Duct Cleaning
Allen has its share of office space, clinics, and retail along Stacy Road and the 75 corridor. Commercial systems run longer hours, which means more particulate cycling through the returns. We clean commercial ductwork after hours or on weekends to avoid disrupting your operation, and we provide the same documented photo record and written pricing that homeowners get. No separate commercial price sheet that inflates the number because it’s a business.
Supply Duct Cleaning
Supply ducts carry conditioned air from the air handler to your rooms. In Allen homes built during the 1990s and 2000s boom, supply runs were often stapled at wide intervals instead of properly saddled. After 20-plus years of attic temperatures exceeding 140°F, those runs sag and partially collapse at the low points. We re-support the duct before cleaning, because a collapsed section is a debris trap that standard vacuuming cannot reach. This is the most common field repair we perform in Allen.
Return Duct Cleaning
Return ducts pull air back to the air handler, and in older Allen homes they routinely pull attic air through loose collars and separated joints. That means fiberglass particles and attic dust enter the conditioned air stream. We inspect every return run with a camera before cleaning, because if the structure isn’t sound, cleaning alone won’t fix the problem. When we find loose collars, we seal them. Haven Standard Clause 4: we document what we found, not what we assume.
Video Inspection
Every job in Allen includes a video camera inspection of the duct interior. This is how we find collapsed flex, separated joints, and the 3-inch debris build-up at the first elbow that a vacuum alone leaves behind. The camera doesn’t lie, and neither do the photos you receive. If a duct is beyond cleaning, you’ll see it on screen before we ask for another dollar.

BeforeAfterTrusted Brands We Service in Allen
We work on systems built with all the common residential brands and configurations found in Allen. Our equipment includes Rotobrush for source removal and Nikro for negative-pressure extraction, so the cleaning itself is done with professional-grade tools you can look up independently before you agree to a price.

We don’t sell equipment, so there’s no push to replace what’s still working.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Allen Homes
- Collapsed flex duct in east Allen subdivisions built circa 1997-2005. Builders stapled flex duct at wide intervals to move fast. Two decades of 140°F attic heat later, those runs sag and collapse at the low points, trapping debris that standard cleaning can’t reach. We re-saddle the duct, then clean.
- Loosened duct collars from blackland prairie clay movement. Allen sits on expansive clay that swells with spring rains and contracts through summer drought. That movement loosens duct collars in the attic, and attic air gets pulled into the return side. We find and seal these during every cleaning.
- Heavy pollen and biological growth inside duct liners. Allen’s HVAC systems run seven to eight months a year, pulling cedar, elm, and oak pollen from Collin County into the ductwork. Inside fiberglass duct board, that organic load combines with humidity to create the musty smell homeowners notice when the AC kicks on.
- Whole subdivisions hitting the 20-30 year window at once. Allen’s residential buildout was compressed into roughly a decade and a half. When one home on a street shows delaminating duct board, the neighbors’ homes, built the same year by the same builder, are usually close behind. That’s why we work block by block in Allen.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Allen, TX
A full-system residential duct cleaning in Allen typically runs $450 to $900, depending on the number of runs, the system size, and whether collapsed flex duct needs re-supporting. That’s a written, flat price per system, not a per-vent number that multiplies when the tech walks your attic. A single-system home with 10 to 14 runs usually lands in the $500 to $650 range. Larger two-story homes with multiple systems or significant duct repair can reach $900 or more, and you’ll know the exact number before we touch a panel. Commercial jobs are quoted per system after a site walk.

FAQs - Air Duct Cleaning in Allen
Every 5 to 7 years is a reasonable interval for most Allen homes, but the first cleaning after construction debris and 20-plus years of accumulated pollen and insulation particles is the one that matters most. Homes built during the 1990s-2000s boom often have never been cleaned since the day the builder handed over the keys. After that first deep clean, the 5 to 7 year cadence holds, assuming the ducts are structurally sound. If we find collapsed flex or loose collars, the repair work changes the equation. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written quote that reflects your specific system.
East Allen’s buildout happened in a narrow window from about 1997 to 2005, when production builders were putting up hundreds of homes a year. Attic flex duct was stapled at wide intervals rather than properly saddled, because speed mattered more than long-term structure. After 20-plus years of North Texas attic heat exceeding 140°F, that thin plastic sheathing and wire coil sag at the low points, creating collapse points that trap debris. We see this repeatedly along the Stacy Road corridor and the subdivisions east of Greenville Avenue. The fix is re-supporting the duct before cleaning, not running a vacuum over a collapsed run and calling it done.
After. Foundation repair on blackland prairie clay involves jacking and leveling the slab, which shifts the entire framing above it, including the duct runs in the attic. Any loosened joints or collars that result from that movement need to be identified and sealed after the foundation work is complete. If you clean before foundation repair, you’ll pay twice, because the movement will loosen connections and introduce new debris. Clean after, and have the crew inspect for loose collars as part of the job. We include that inspection in every Allen cleaning.
In most cases, yes, if the source is inside the ducts. The musty smell in older Allen homes usually comes from organic material (pollen, skin cells, pet dander) that has accumulated inside fiberglass duct board liners and combined with humidity from the cooling cycle. Source removal with agitation tools physically dislodges that material, and HEPA filtration removes it from the air stream. If the smell persists after cleaning, the problem is usually in the air handler or the evaporator coil, not the ducts, and we’ll tell you that plainly. Call (806) 606-6902 and ask us to inspect the system.
A fair full-system residential cleaning in Allen ranges from $450 to $900, quoted as a flat price per system before work begins. Red flags include any per-vent pricing, because the final number always multiplies after the tech walks the attic; any quote under $200 for a whole home, which means the crew is running a vacuum for 20 minutes and skipping the camera work; and any tech who claims collapsed flex duct is an “extra” rather than explaining that the collapse has to be addressed before cleaning can work. Written price before work starts, documented photo record after, and no upsell on the drive. That’s the standard we hold in Allen.
