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 Arlington
HVAC cleaning in Arlington, TX typically runs $380-$720 for a full system clean on a single-unit home, with evaporator coil cleaning adding $150-$280 and air handler cleaning adding $180-$320. Most Arlington homes we service were built between 1970 and 1995, which means the ductwork, coils, and blowers we clean are frequently 30-50 years old and carrying accumulation that newer systems simply don’t see. We’re CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning, and we’ve built our entire process around showing you what’s actually inside your system before any work happens. Call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll put a written price in front of you before a single panel comes off.
Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Is Arlington’s Preferred HVAC Cleaning Company
Arlington homeowners do their homework, and we respect that. Every job we run includes a Documented Photo Record of every duct run: before and after, delivered to you as part of the standard job record. That’s not a marketing promise. It’s Haven Standard Clause 4, and it’s been our practice since the first job in 2013. If you live in Dalworthington Gardens, Pantego, or along Cooper Street, you’ve likely seen our white vans on residential streets. We work throughout Arlington weekly.
Our lead technician for this service area is Tomas Reyes, who has personally overseen hundreds of HVAC cleaning jobs in Arlington attics. Tomas is the person who reviews your photo record before it goes to you. When a homeowner asks what was actually found, Tomas can tell them in plain language: a crushed flex run near the plenum, a blower wheel caked with matted dust, a coil with visible biofilm. We don’t ask you to trust a vague reassurance. We hand you the photographs.
Scheduling for Arlington is coordinated through our Dallas-Fort Worth office, and we run routes through Arlington multiple days each week. We answer the phone live, 24/7. Not a callback service. A person.
Our HVAC Cleaning Services in Arlington
Evaporator Coil Cleaning
Your evaporator coil sits in the indoor air handler, and in Arlington’s climate it runs hard from late April through October. The coil condenses moisture every cooling cycle, and that wet surface traps dust, pollen, and pet dander. In boom-era Arlington homes with original flex duct, we often find coils coated with a gray paste of insulation fibers and biological material. A typical evaporator coil cleaning in Arlington runs $150-$280, and we photograph the coil before and after so you can see the difference.
Blower Cleaning
The blower wheel pushes air past the coil and into your ducts. When it’s dirty, it moves less air, which means longer runtimes and higher bills. In Arlington homes east of Collins Street, we routinely find blower wheels with a quarter-inch of packed dust on each blade, often because a degraded flex liner upstream has been feeding particles into the cabinet. Blower cleaning in Arlington runs $120-$240 and is usually done as part of a full HVAC clean. Tomas checks the blower wheel balance after cleaning, because a wheel that’s been running dirty is often a wheel that’s been wearing unevenly.
Condenser Cleaning
The condenser is the outdoor unit, and in Arlington it takes a beating from grass clippings, cottonwood seed, and construction dust from the constant residential churn along the I-20 corridor. A blocked condenser coil drives up head pressure, which shortens compressor life. Condenser cleaning in Arlington runs $100-$200 for a standard residential unit. We use coil-safe cleaners and a low-pressure rinse, not a gas-powered pressure washer that flattens the fins. That matters more on older units, where the aluminum fins are already soft from years of thermal stress.
Air Handler Cleaning
The air handler houses the blower, filter rack, and often the evaporator coil. In a 1980s Arlington ranch, the air handler is usually in a hallway closet or an unconditioned garage. We clean the cabinet interior, the condensate pan and drain line, the blower assembly, and we inspect the filter housing for gaps that let unfiltered attic air bypass the filter entirely. Air handler cleaning in Arlington runs $180-$320. If we find a rusted pan or a disconnected return plenum, we’ll show you the photo and give you a written repair quote then and there.
Heat Exchanger Cleaning
If your Arlington home has a gas furnace, the heat exchanger needs attention too. Dust and debris on the exchanger surface reduces heat transfer and can contribute to musty odors in early winter when the furnace first kicks on. We clean the accessible exchanger surfaces and check for visible cracks or corrosion as part of a full HVAC clean. Heat exchanger cleaning in Arlington runs $120-$220 when done with a full system service.

BeforeAfterTrusted Brands We Service in Arlington
We clean and service systems built around equipment from every major manufacturer: Trane, Carrier, Lennox, Goodman, Rheem, York, and American Standard.

Our equipment roster includes Rotobrush and Nikro agitation tools for source removal, plus Guardsman antimicrobial treatments for coil and cabinet sanitizing. We stock common filters, drain line treatments, and collar fittings locally so we’re not waiting on a parts run when your Arlington home is on the schedule.
Common HVAC Cleaning Problems We See in Arlington Homes
- Crumbled flex-duct liners in unconditioned attics. Summers in Arlington push attic temperatures past 140°F routinely. Flex duct liners from the 1980s and 1990s were never designed for that repeated thermal cycling. We see inner liners that have turned brittle and collapsed, releasing fiberglass particles into the supply air every time the blower runs.
- Disconnected or crushed flex runs in boom-era subdivisions. Homes in the older eastern corridors near the Grand Prairie border, particularly those built 1975-1985, often have original galvanized trunk lines still intact but flex branch runs that have pulled loose at the connectors. Attic debris, insulation fibers, and rodent droppings get pulled into the ductwork through those gaps.
- Pollen-loaded coils and blowers from the Southern Plains pollen corridor. Mountain cedar in winter and oak and grass pollen in spring hit Arlington hard. Systems that switch between heating and cooling in rapid succession pull that particulate through the return, where it packs onto the coil and blower before the filter catches it.
- Winter Storm Uri pressure differentials. In February 2021, many Arlington systems ran at maximum capacity for days. The sustained pressure differential pulled outdoor debris into ducts that had never been inspected. We still see the aftermath in homes where the ductwork was sealed but never cleaned afterward.

FAQs - HVAC Cleaning in Arlington
Arlington’s primary residential buildout between 1970 and 1995 left a large share of homes with original flexible ductwork now 30-50 years old, beyond the industry’s typical 25-year service life. The flex liners degrade in attics that exceed 140°F every summer, releasing particles that pack onto coils and blowers faster than in newer homes with sealed ducts and modern filtration. A 1985 Arlington home with original flex will typically need coil and blower cleaning significantly sooner than a 2020 build in Mansfield or Burleson. Call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll inspect your system and tell you what we actually see.
Schedule an inspection that includes a camera run through both the trunk and the branches. We see this exact configuration weekly in the subdivisions east of Collins Street. The galvanized trunk is often serviceable, but the flex branches attached to it have deteriorated. During a cleaning, we photograph every run, identify which branches have failed, replace the damaged flex with R-8 insulated duct, and seal the trunk-line connections. You get a written scope before we do any of it.
Yes, and we’ve documented it repeatedly in Arlington homes since February 2021. The sustained pressure differentials pulled outdoor debris into duct systems that had never been inspected. The debris can sit in the ducts without immediately affecting airflow, but it recirculates every time the system runs. If your system ran through Uri and you’ve never had the ducts inspected, a camera inspection is the place to start. Call (806) 606-6902 and ask about our Documented Photo Record.
In Arlington specifically, it’s a real maintenance need for thousands of homes. The combination of 30-50-year-old flex ducts, attic temperatures over 140°F, and the Southern Plains pollen corridor means Arlington systems accumulate debris that newer systems in cooler climates don’t. During a cleaning call in the subdivisions east of Collins, our tech found a partially collapsed flex run in an unconditioned attic where the inner liner had crumbled from decades of thermal cycling, pulling insulation fibers directly into the supply air. That’s not an upsell. That’s a house breathing insulation. We source-removed the debris, replaced the failed branch, and sealed the connections. The homeowner got photos of all of it.
For most Arlington homes, every 2-3 years is realistic if your ducts are sealed and your filter is changed regularly. If you’re in an older home with original flex duct, or you have pets, or you’re in a high-pollen corridor near Lake Arlington or the Grand Prairie border, annual coil and blower cleaning makes sense. The coil is wet all summer, and in Arlington’s humidity that means biological growth on the coil surface unless it’s cleaned. Arlington homeowners who schedule in spring, before the summer runtime starts, generally get the most value from the service. Call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll give you a written price for your specific system.
