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.

AfterCarrier Air Duct Cleaning in Fort Worth, NY | CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning
Air Duct Cleaning in Fort Worth for Carrier systems means dealing with two things most companies never talk about: attic runs that sit in 145°F heat for months, and a red-clay dust load that Dallas systems rarely see. We’re an independent Carrier service provider, not a manufacturer shop, and we’ve worked on Carrier systems in Wedgwood, Ridglea Hills, and Hulen since 2013. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written price before any work starts.
Why Fort Worth Residents Choose Us for Carrier Service
Most Fort Worth HVAC Cleaning companies will clean any system the same way. We don’t. Carrier’s attic-installed flex duct systems fail in predictable ways under our heat load, and we know what those failures look like before we remove the first register. Tomas Reyes, our owner and lead technician, grew up around old ductwork and spent years working residential and commercial systems before founding CleanRun. He’ll tell you what the camera finds first, what it means, and what the fix costs. Every Carrier job includes a documented photo record of every duct run, before and after. The photo tells you what’s in there. Everything else is just paperwork.
We also carry OEM-compatible parts for Carrier systems so we’re not waiting on a supply house run when a collar needs replacing. For more on how we handle the Carrier line specifically, see our Carrier sales & service overview.
Common Carrier Air Duct Cleaning Problems We Solve in Fort Worth
- Flex duct pull-away at boot collars. The most common failure we see on Carrier systems in 1970s and 80s ranches. Attic heat cycles expand and contract the metal collars until the mastic cracks and the flex duct slips free. The system then pulls raw attic air directly into bedrooms. We reattach, seal with mastic and aluminum tape, and photo-document the repair.
- Clogged evaporator coils from red-clay dust. Carrier’s high-efficiency coils use thin aluminum fins. The fine west-wind dust that blows across the Cross Timbers settles in return plenums and works its way onto those fins. We wash coils without pulling the entire plenum when possible.
- Fiberglass liner breakdown inside older Carrier flex ducts. When flex ducts sag in the heat or kink at tight bends, the interior liner shreds. Those fibers ride the supply airstream straight into your living space. We inspect with a camera first so you see exactly what’s inside before any recommendation.
- Return-air leakage at Carrier air handler cabinets. Attic-installed air handlers often have seams that open over time. The blower wheel then sucks in insulation debris and superheated air. We seal the cabinet and clean the return runs as a single job.
- Uneven cooling between rooms. When one flex run disconnects or kinks, one bedroom gets nothing while another gets blasted. Carrier systems with original 40-year-old duct runs are the worst offenders, especially on south-side slab ranchers.
BeforeAfterCarrier Service in Fort Worth: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Fort Worth’s south side sits directly in the path of open Cross Timbers winds. Return-air grilles in Wedgwood and Ridglea Hills accumulate a gritty, rust-red clay film that Dallas or Arlington systems rarely see, and that grit acts like sandpaper on Carrier’s thin aluminum evaporator fins. We clean coils in this part of town with more frequency and more aggressive methods than we would in a more sheltered Metroplex neighborhood. The same wind pattern loads return ducts faster here too. A return duct that might need cleaning every four years in Dallas could need it every two in Wedgwood. Last July we were called to a 1979 Carrier slab-built rancher on Ledgestone Drive in Wedgwood. The homeowner said the Infinity system was cycling constantly but cooling unevenly. Our video inspection found the 12-inch flex supply to the master bedroom had completely detached at the boot collar, pulling 150°F attic air and fiberglass fibers straight into the register. We reattached the duct, sealed the collar, washed the now-fouled evaporator coil, and airflow to that bedroom increased by over 40 percent on the next cycle.
Carrier Models & Products We Service in Fort Worth
We work on the full Carrier residential line: Infinity Series air conditioners and heat pumps from the 2000s forward, Performance Series, Comfort Series, and older Puron-era condensing units paired with attic evaporator coils. When a repair demands exact factory tolerances, like Infinity communicating motors or proprietary plenum collars, we specify OEM Carrier components. For most duct repair, sealing, and grille replacement, quality commercial-grade aftermarket parts match or beat OEM at a lower cost. Our default is repair over replace unless the duct liner is fully degraded or the plenum is crushed beyond sealant repair. We stock common Carrier-compatible collars, mastic, and grilles locally for fast turnaround across Fort Worth.
Carrier Service Pricing in Fort Worth
Whole-system air duct cleaning in Fort Worth typically runs $350 to $600 depending on home size and duct count. Flex duct repair at boot collars adds $85 to $200 per connection. Evaporator coil cleaning runs $150 to $350 depending on access and fouling level. Duct sealing starts around $300 and scales with plenum condition. Return duct cleaning alone runs $100 to $200. Variables that shift the price: whether the attic is walkable, how many registers the home has, and whether the flex duct is original or already partially replaced. Every estimate is written before work starts under Haven Standard Clause 1. Call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll put a number in writing.

FAQs - Carrier Air Duct Cleaning in Fort Worth
The attic heat is the main culprit. Flex duct outer jackets expand in 145°F+ attic temperatures while the metal boot collars expand at a different rate. Over years of thermal cycling, the mastic seal cracks and the duct slips. We fix each connection with mastic plus aluminum tape and photograph the repair so you can verify the bond before we leave.
Usually, yes. If the coil has an access panel or can be reached through the return opening, we clean it in place. If the coil is buried or the plenum is sealed tight from the factory, we’ll tell you before making a cut. The photo record applies here too, so you see the coil before and after cleaning.
If the inner liner is intact and the runs aren’t kinked or crushed, cleaning plus sealing is often enough. But in many 1970s and 80s ranches on the south side, the liner has degraded from decades of heat exposure. Once fiberglass shredding starts, cleaning won’t stop it. We’ll show you the camera footage and tell you straight which side of that line you’re on.
It’s the wind. Fort Worth sits at the western edge of the Metroplex, exposed to the open Cross Timbers plains. Fine clay particles ride those westerly winds into your return grilles at concentrations Dallas’ urban core doesn’t get. Your ducts load faster, your filter loads faster, and your coils foul faster. It’s not your imagination. Call (806) 606-6902 if you’re cleaning returns more than twice a year.
Sometimes. If the imbalance comes from a disconnected or kinked flex run, we can fix that during the cleaning visit. If the imbalance comes from undersized ducts on the original install, cleaning won’t change the physics. The video inspection tells us which situation you have before we recommend spending anything. Call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll put the inspection plus any repair in a written scope.
