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.

AfterAir Duct Cleaning in Frisco, TX
Dryer vent cleaning in Frisco runs $89-$260 depending on access and build-up, and most homes in this market are overdue. Frisco’s housing stock went up fast between 2000 and 2022, almost all of it with builder-grade flex duct and dryer vents that were never re-inspected after move-in. The result is a city full of 10-to-20-year-old vent runs packed with lint, and dryers that take two cycles to finish a load. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written price before anyone touches the vent.
Why Frisco Homes Are Different
Frisco grew from roughly 6,000 residents in 2000 to well over 200,000 by the mid-2020s, which means nearly the entire housing stock was built in rapid, overlapping construction waves. Those homes were framed and ducted by the same subcontractors moving through entire subdivisions inside 12 to 18 month windows. Walk through Stonebriar, Panther Creek, or Lawson and you’ll find the same duct layout, the same builder-grade flex material, and the same problem: a base layer of fine drywall dust compressed under years of HVAC lint.
Frisco’s climate makes it worse. HVAC systems here run nearly continuously from late April through early October. That’s far more annual runtime than most U.S. markets, and it accelerates debris accumulation inside ductwork. The area also sits in a high-pollen corridor: mountain cedar in winter, oak in spring, ragweed in fall. Add still-active construction parcels across the city’s remaining developable land, and return-air intakes pull fine particulate directly into duct systems of finished homes nearby. When we open a plenum (the main distribution box above the furnace) in a Frisco home, the camera usually shows exactly what the pollen count predicted.
Our Main Frisco Services
Frisco homeowners call about two things more than anything else: full-system air duct cleaning and HVAC cleaning. Both get the same documented treatment: written price upfront, camera inside every run, photos before and after.
Air Duct Cleaning in Frisco
Air duct cleaning in Frisco means pulling post-construction debris out of systems that have been running hard for over a decade. We run a negative-pressure extraction that pulls drywall dust, insulation particles, and compacted lint from every duct run, then photograph each one with a camera before and after so you can see the difference. Homes in this market routinely carry three to four pounds of debris in a 4,000 sq ft system. Air Duct Cleaning in Frisco gets the full written-price treatment like every job we do.
HVAC Cleaning in Frisco
HVAC cleaning in Frisco goes beyond the ducts to the coil, blower motor, and plenum where the worst build-up hides. A coil caked with construction dust and pollen can drop efficiency noticeably on a Texas summer day, and Frisco systems carry that load for months at a time. We clean the evaporator coil, blower wheel, and interior cabinet, then document every step with photos. HVAC Cleaning in Frisco brings the same before-and-after record to the mechanical side of the system.

BeforeAfterDryer Vent Cleaning in Frisco
Dryer vent cleaning in Frisco matters because the housing stock and the climate work against lint. Most homes built since 2000 have dryer vents that run through a wall, a floor cavity, or a long flex transition, and the continuous summer HVAC runtime means the dryer is usually running alongside it. That combination pushes lint through the vent year-round, and the result is a vent full of compacted lint in homes that look clean on the surface. When we run a camera through a Frisco dryer vent, the typical first pass shows a 2-to-3-inch build-up at the first elbow or where the vent passes through the floor. Dryer Vent Cleaning is the most common service we perform in this market, and it’s also the one where the before-and-after photo record makes the difference obvious. A clean vent means the dryer finishes a load in one cycle, the exterior flap actually closes, and the risk of a lint fire drops substantially.
Dryer Vent Inspection
Signs you need it
If the dryer takes two cycles to finish a load or the exterior flap doesn’t close, the vent has a blockage worth seeing on camera.
What it costs in Frisco
A camera inspection alone runs $49-$95 in Frisco, and we waive it when the vent ends up needing a cleaning.
How we do it
We run a camera from the dryer connection to the exterior termination, measuring the build-up diameter and identifying elbows, sags, and transitions that trap lint.
Vent Cleaning
Signs you need it
Lint visible at the exterior vent or a dryer that’s been in place for over two years without service means the vent is carrying build-up you can’t see.
What it costs in Frisco
A standard dryer vent cleaning runs $89-$160 in Frisco for a typical single-story run with accessible termination.
How we do it
We run a rotating brush and negative-pressure extraction through the full vent length, then camera-verify the result and photograph the interior before and after.
Lint Removal
Signs you need it
If the dryer shuts off mid-cycle or the exterior flap stays open, lint has likely accumulated to the point of restricting airflow.
What it costs in Frisco
Heavy lint removal from a severely blocked vent runs $120-$260 in Frisco, depending on vent length and access.
How we do it
For blocked vents, we clear the obstruction with a rotating auger, then run the full cleaning pass and photograph the cleared run end to end.
Vent Rerouting
Signs you need it
A vent that runs more than 25 feet with multiple elbows, or exits through the roof instead of a wall, is working against the dryer every cycle.
What it costs in Frisco
Rerouting a dryer vent in Frisco runs $150-$400, with the final price set by vent length, wall penetrations, and termination location.
How we do it
We map the current path with a camera, design a shorter route that meets code, install rigid or semi-rigid duct, and secure the new termination with proper flashing.
Bird Guard Installation
Signs you need it
Nesting material, bird debris, or a flap that’s been pecked open means birds are entering the vent, and a guard stops the cycle.
What it costs in Frisco
A stainless or galvanized bird guard installed over the exterior vent runs $45-$120 in Frisco.
How we do it
We remove existing nesting debris, clean the vent interior, then mount a corrosion-resistant guard over the termination to block re-entry without restricting airflow.
What Dryer Vent Cleaning Costs in Frisco
| Item | Typical range in Frisco |
|---|---|
| Dryer vent inspection | $49-$95 |
| Standard dryer vent cleaning | $89-$160 |
| Heavy lint removal / blocked vent | $120-$260 |
How often should a dryer vent be cleaned in Frisco?
Every one to two years for most Frisco homes. The continuous HVAC runtime and high-pollen air mean lint accumulates faster than in cooler markets. If your dryer takes two cycles, clean it now.
Why do some Frisco dryer vents clog faster than others?
Long vent runs with multiple elbows, roof terminations, and flex duct transitions trap lint sooner. Homes in subdivisions built in the 2000s often share these layouts. We check the full path with a camera and show you the build-up before cleaning.
Duct Repair & Sealing in Frisco
Duct repair and sealing in Frisco addresses what happens when builder-grade duct systems reach the 12-to-18-year mark. Flex duct delaminates, mastic joints dry and crack, and return chases that were undersized from the start lose conditioned air into attics and wall cavities. That means rooms that never hold temperature and systems that run constantly through Frisco summers to compensate. We find those leaks with a pressure test and seal them for good. Duct Repair & Sealing is the repair that makes the rest of the system’s cleaning actually stick; clean ducts with holes in them get dirty again fast.
Duct Sealing
Signs you need it
Rooms that stay hot in summer or cold in winter while the system runs, or utility bills that climb with no change in usage, point to air leaving the ductwork before it reaches the room.
What it costs in Frisco
Sealing accessible duct runs and joints in Frisco runs $299-$599 per system, depending on how much of the network is reachable from the attic.
How we do it
We measure leakage with a pressure test, then seal joints, seams, and connections with mastic or foil tape and re-test to show the difference.
Flex Duct Repair
Signs you need it
Torn or crushed flex runs, visible sagging in the attic, or dust blowing from registers indicate damaged flex duct that can’t hold pressure.
What it costs in Frisco
Replacing a damaged flex run in Frisco runs $110-$220 per run, with most homes needing one to three runs replaced.
How we do it
We remove the damaged section, install a properly sized replacement with correct insulation and support strapping, and seal both connections.
Mastic Sealant
Signs you need it
Visible gaps or cracked sealant at duct joints, or registers that blow air even when the system is off, indicate joints that need re-sealing.
What it costs in Frisco
Re-sealing all accessible joints with mastic on a typical Frisco system runs $299-$599, and it includes the pressure-test verification.
How we do it
We apply a continuous mastic bead to every accessible joint, let it cure, and run a pressure test to verify the seal actually holds.
What Duct Repair & Sealing Costs in Frisco
| Item | Typical range in Frisco |
|---|---|
| Duct sealing (accessible system) | $299-$599 |
| Flex duct replacement (per run) | $110-$220 |
| Mastic joint re-sealing (full system) | $299-$599 |
Can sealing ducts really change a room’s temperature in Frisco?
Yes, when the problem is leakage. Leaky ducts lose conditioned air into the attic, so rooms at the end of long runs never receive their share. Sealing restores that airflow. We confirm with a pressure test before and after.
How do I know my Frisco ducts actually need repair?
Dust around registers, uneven room temperatures, and attic inspections showing torn flex or cracked joints are the clearest signs. We inspect with a camera and show you what we found before recommending any repair. You’ll get a written price before work starts.
Air Quality & Sanitizing in Frisco
Air quality and sanitizing in Frisco addresses what the continuous HVAC runtime and high-pollen seasons leave behind: mold spores, bacteria, and odors inside ductwork and on the coil. A system that runs from April through October moves whatever is inside the ducts through the house every single cycle. When we find microbial growth on a coil or inside a plenum, the fix is not just cleaning; it’s applying a treatment that keeps the surface clean. Air Quality & Sanitizing is the service we recommend after a cleaning when the camera shows growth that ordinary extraction won’t remove.
Mold Treatment
Signs you need it
Musty odor from the registers, visible discoloration on the coil or plenum, or mold allergy symptoms that worsen when the HVAC runs all point to mold inside the system.
What it costs in Frisco
Mold treatment for a typical Frisco system runs $400-$850, depending on the extent of the affected area and whether the coil is included.
How we do it
We clean the affected surface, apply an EPA-registered mold treatment, and document the before and after with photos as part of your job record.
Bacteria Sanitizing
Signs you need it
Persistent odors, recent illness in the household, or visible biofilm inside the plenum indicate bacteria that standard cleaning won’t fully address.
What it costs in Frisco
Full-system bacteria sanitizing in Frisco runs $299-$599, applied after a cleaning so the treatment reaches the surfaces that matter.
How we do it
We fog or apply an EPA-registered sanitizer to the duct interior, coil, and plenum after cleaning, then note the treatment in your written job record.
Odor Removal
Signs you need it
Smoke, pet, or construction odors that return every time the system runs mean the source is inside the ducts, not in the room.
What it costs in Frisco
Odor removal in Frisco runs $250-$550, with the final price set by the source and whether the coil needs treatment.
How we do it
We locate the odor source with a camera, clean the affected surfaces, and apply a treatment that neutralizes the smell rather than masking it.
UV Light Installation
Signs you need it
Recurring mold growth on the coil even after cleaning, or a system that sits in high humidity, means the coil is continuously re-contaminating.
What it costs in Frisco
A UV light installed over the coil in a Frisco home runs $550-$900, including the unit, mounting, and wiring.
How we do it
We mount a UV-C unit over the evaporator coil or in the return plenum, wire it to run with the system, and verify the placement with the manufacturer’s coverage specs.
What Air Quality & Sanitizing Costs in Frisco
| Item | Typical range in Frisco |
|---|---|
| Mold treatment (system) | $400-$850 |
| Bacteria sanitizing (full system) | $299-$599 |
| UV light installation | $550-$900 |
Does sanitizing actually help with Frisco allergies?
Sanitizing reduces the microbial load inside the ductwork, which can help when allergies are triggered by mold spores or bacteria circulating through the system. It does not filter outdoor pollen; that’s the job of the return-air filter. We can show you exactly what’s inside your ducts before recommending treatment.
Is UV light worth installing in a Frisco HVAC system?
For homes with persistent coil mold or high indoor humidity, a UV light keeps the coil surface from re-contaminating between cleanings. The effectiveness depends on proper placement and the unit’s rated coverage. We install UV systems that match the coil dimensions and note the coverage in writing.

Air duct cleaning and dryer vent cleaning do not require permits in Frisco, and HOAs do not restrict interior work. The only exception is a vent rerouting that changes an exterior termination, which may need an exterior modification review. We handle the technical side; if exterior work touches a shared wall, check your HOA’s guidelines first.
