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.

AfterHow Much Does Air Duct Cleaning Cost in Plano, TX?
A full-system Air Duct Cleaning for a typical Plano home runs $550-$950. A full system includes supply runs, return runs, both plenums, and the blower cabinet. A supply-only or return-only job starts around $325-$475. Every price is written before a single panel comes off, under Haven Standard Clause 1.
What drives the number is what the camera finds. Plano homes built between 1975 and 1995 carry original flex duct and fiberglass ductboard that has been baking in 150°F attics for three to five decades. If we find delaminated liners, disconnected collars, or ductboard shedding glass fibers, the job changes from a clean to a repair-and-clean. You see the photos before you approve the scope. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written estimate.

Fast, Reliable Air Duct Cleaning Across Plano
We clean ductwork in homes from Willow Bend to Old Towne to the 75074 corridor east of 75. Plano’s housing stock is a specific thing: slab-on-grade tract builds from roughly 1975 to 1995, nearly every one with HVAC routed through an unconditioned attic. That means the ducts you want cleaned are the same ducts that have been thermal-cycling in a 150°F attic every summer since the Ford administration. We know what that does to flex duct and fiberglass ductboard, because we have photographed the inside of those runs in Plano homes for years. Scheduling is coordinated from our Dallas-Fort Worth office, and crews serve Plano locally. Call (806) 606-6902 to get a written price before any work begins.
Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Is Plano’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
Plano homeowners tend to research exhaustively. They bought their homes at a high price point, they ask for documentation, and they want to see evidence, not hear promises. That is exactly how we work.
Every job starts with a written price under Haven Standard Clause 1. No verbal estimate, no “call for a quote” positioning, no bait-and-switch. The number is in writing before we remove a single register. Every job ends with a Documented Photo Record of every duct run we touched, inside, before and after. You see what we found and what we did. We have operated this way since 2013, across more than 52,000 homes, each one quoted in writing before work started.
Plano customers also get a Free Second Opinion on any written estimate. Bring a competitor’s quote. We will put our number next to it in writing, and we will explain the difference in plain language. Tomas Reyes, who leads our crews, has seen too many Plano attics where a $79 coupon turned into a $1,400 invoice. We do not play that game.
BeforeAfterOur Air Duct Cleaning Services in Plano
Residential Duct Cleaning
Most Plano homes are single-family, slab-on-grade, with ducts in the attic. We run negative-pressure extraction with HEPA-filtered source removal, not a shop vac attached to a register. The camera goes in first. You see what is there before we touch it.
Commercial Duct Cleaning
Plano’s commercial stock spans the Legacy area office parks, older retail strips along 15th and Parker, and medical suites along Coit and Preston. We clean duct runs in those spaces after hours or on weekends, with the same written price and photo record we deliver on residential jobs.
Supply Duct Cleaning
Supply runs are where we most often find disconnected collars in Plano. The black-clay soil under Plano’s older east-side and central subdivisions moves seasonally, heaving slabs and torquing attic duct connections loose. A supply clean that starts as routine routinely turns into a repair job once the camera shows a duct blowing conditioned air into the attic.
Return Duct Cleaning
Plano’s spring pollen load, oak and cedar and elm, combines with clay-dust particulates stirred by spring and fall high-wind storms. Return air systems accumulate that debris at an above-average rate. A clogged return filter and dirty return plenum choke airflow and force the blower to work against resistance. We clean the full return path, from grille to blower cabinet.

We also service equipment from Rotobrush and Nikro in the field, and our video inspection rigs document every run we touch.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Plano Homes
- Delaminated flex duct liners. Original 1980s flex duct baked in a 150°F attic for forty years does not stay intact. The inner liner separates from the insulation, and the air stream carries fiberglass particles into living spaces.
- Disconnected attic collars. Plano’s expansive black-clay soil heaves and settles, and in older east-side neighborhoods that movement torques attic duct connections loose. A disconnected 8-inch supply run can blow a third of a system’s conditioned air straight into the attic all summer.
- Deteriorating fiberglass ductboard. Many 1975-1995 Plano homes have fiberglass ductboard return plenums. After decades of thermal cycling, the interior surface delaminates and sheds glass fibers. Cleaning a failed ductboard does not fix it; it needs replacement.
- Sticky pollen-and-clay film on return interiors. Plano’s heavy spring pollen load and clay dust produce a tacky film on return runs that captures debris and supports microbial growth. A fogging sanitiser does not remove it. Source removal does.
On a July job in Plano’s Old Towne area, our tech pulled a disconnected 8-inch flex duct off a supply collar in an attic pushing 158°F. The inner liner had delaminated and was blowing cool air straight into the attic. We reconnected the collar, sealed it with mastic, and ran negative pressure with HEPA-filtered source removal on the remaining supply and return runs. The customer’s delta-T between registers and return dropped from 18°F to 8°F.
That is the distinction we want Plano homeowners to understand. A cheap cleaning with no camera and no repair scope would have left that duct disconnected. The house would have kept throwing money into the attic all summer, and the homeowner would have assumed the system was just old. The photo record we delivered showed the disconnected run, the repair, and the after condition.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Plano, TX
A full-system Air Duct Cleaning in Plano typically runs $550-$950. Supply-only or return-only jobs start around $325-$475. The factors that move the number: how many runs the system has, whether the return plenum is ductboard or sheet metal, and what the camera finds.
A 1,600-square-foot Plano original may have 10 to 14 runs and a ductboard return plenum. A full clean with repair work, if we find a disconnected collar or a delaminated section, will push toward the top of the range or beyond if replacement is required. We photograph everything. You see what we see before you approve a dollar more. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written estimate.

FAQs - Air Duct Cleaning in Plano
Plano’s flex duct was installed between 1975 and 1995 and sits in unconditioned attics that exceed 150°F from May through September. Frisco and Prosper were built out largely post-2000 with newer materials and insulation standards. Forty years of thermal cycling at those temperatures breaks down the adhesive bond between the flex duct’s inner liner and its insulation. The liner delaminates, and the air stream then carries fiberglass particles into living spaces. This is a thermal degradation problem, not a dirt problem. A camera inspection shows the difference.
If you suspect your original Plano flex duct has failed, call (806) 606-6902 and we will put a camera in the run before you spend a dollar.
Yes. We find disconnected attic collars regularly during what starts as a routine cleaning. Plano’s expansive black-clay soils heave and settle with seasonal moisture changes, and in the city’s older east-side and central subdivisions that gradual movement torques attic duct connections loose. The camera inspection that is part of our standard process shows whether the run is attached and sealed, or whether it is blowing conditioned air into the attic. If we find a disconnect, we show you the photo, quote the repair in writing, and proceed only with your approval.
Call (806) 606-6902 if you suspect a disconnected run, and we can inspect the system before you commit to anything.
No. Fogging introduces a mist that leaves the sticky clay-dust and pollen film lining the duct intact. The film is what supports microbial growth, and fogging does not remove it. Source removal, done under negative pressure with HEPA filtration, physically strips that film off the duct interior. That is what a real Air Duct Cleaning does. Fogging is an upsell that trades on the word “sanitise.” It is not source removal.
Call (806) 606-6902 and ask us to show you the before-and-after photos from a source-removal job. We will.
It depends on condition. If the ductboard interior is intact, it can be cleaned under negative pressure. If it has delaminated and is shedding glass fibers, cleaning will not fix it. The camera shows us which situation you have. We recommend replacement when the board has failed, not because we want to sell a bigger job, but because running air through deteriorating fiberglass board puts glass particles in your air stream. The photos we deliver show you exactly what the camera saw.
Call (806) 606-6902 for a video inspection of your return plenum before you decide.
Plano’s spring pollen load from oak, cedar, and elm, combined with clay dust stirred by high-wind thunderstorm events, clogs return-air systems faster than in less dusty markets. The return path is under negative pressure, which means it actively pulls air, and everything suspended in it, into the system. That debris accumulates on the return runs, the return plenum, and the filter. A neglected return side chokes airflow, reduces system efficiency, and leaves a sticky film that supports microbial growth. Return duct cleaning removes that accumulated material and restores proper airflow.
Call (806) 606-6902 for a written price on a full return-side clean.
