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 Farmers Branch
HVAC cleaning in Farmers Branch usually means pulling decades of accumulated debris out of 1950s and 1960s ductwork, not just a quick vacuum pass. A full system clean, including the evaporator coil, blower, and air handler, runs $425 to $890 for a typical single-family ranch home here. That includes a camera inspection of every accessible duct run and a written photo record when our crew leaves. If you’re dealing with weak airflow or dust that returns within days, call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll put a price in writing before any work starts.
Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Is Farmers Branch’s Preferred HVAC Cleaning Company
We work the streets south of LBJ every week, from the brick ranches off Valwood Pkwy to the garden condos near the Dallas North Tollway. The homes here are different from what you find ten minutes north in Carrollton. The ductwork is older, the contamination is heavier, and the job requires more than a shop vac and a blower door. Our crews document what the camera sees before touching a single register, which matters in Farmers Branch because the debris profile here is distinctive: greasy, dark-gray particulate that points to diesel soot from the I-635 freight corridor infiltrating aging duct runs.
Tomas Reyes started CleanRun in 2013 with a rule that hasn’t changed: no technician quotes a price that isn’t written down and signed off before the first panel comes off. That’s Haven Standard Clause 1, and it applies to every job in Farmers Branch. Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and identified by name before they arrive. They carry Rotobrush and Nikro equipment, and they photograph the inside of every duct run before and after cleaning. You don’t take our word for the result; you look at the photos.
Scheduling from our Dallas-Fort Worth office means same-week availability for most Farmers Branch homes. We don’t run urgency games. We book the job, show up on time, and leave you with a documented record of what was inside your ducts and what they look like when we leave.
Our HVAC Cleaning Services in Farmers Branch
Evaporator Coil Cleaning
In Farmers Branch’s 1950s and 1960s ranch homes, the evaporator coil is often caked with a layer of dust and diesel soot that reduces heat exchange by 20 to 30 percent. We clean coils with HEPA-filtered negative pressure and coil-specific cleaning agents, not just a brush and compressed air. The coil sits above the furnace or inside the air handler, and on older systems near the LBJ corridor, we regularly find it fouled with the same dark-gray particulate that lines the ductwork. A coil clean for a typical Farmers Branch home runs $180 to $320, and it’s included in most full-system packages.
Air Handler Cleaning
Older air handlers in Farmers Branch often contain fiberglass liner from the original installation that has degraded over 50 plus years of thermal cycling. That liner sheds fine particulate directly into the airstream, no matter how clean the ducts are. We inspect the air handler cabinet, remove accumulated debris, and sanitize interior surfaces. If the liner is beyond cleaning, we’ll document it with photos and give you a written recommendation. Air handler cleaning in Farmers Branch typically falls between $150 and $275 as a standalone service.
Blower Cleaning
The blower wheel is the component doing the actual work of moving air through your system. In Farmers Branch homes near I-635, we find blower wheels coated in a fine, oily residue that reduces airflow and forces the motor to work harder. We remove the blower assembly, clean each blade with HEPA-filtered equipment, and photograph the before and after. A blower clean in Farmers Branch runs $120 to $200, less when bundled with a full system job.
Condenser Cleaning
Your outdoor condenser sits in North Texas heat and collects cottonwood seed, grass clippings, and construction dust from nearby commercial activity along the I-35E corridor. We clean the coil fins, clear the cabinet, and check refrigerant pressures while we’re there. For Farmers Branch homeowners whose systems run continuously from May through October, a clogged condenser coil is a common cause of high summer electric bills. Condenser cleaning here runs $140 to $240 depending on coil condition and access.

Common HVAC Cleaning Problems We See in Farmers Branch Homes
- Crushed or disconnected galvanized runs under slab foundations. The original 1950s and 1960s sheet-metal ductwork in Farmers Branch ranches frequently collapses under the weight of soil movement and decades of slab settling. A disconnected supply run pulls unfiltered attic air and diesel particulate into the system every time the blower cycles.
- Diesel soot infiltration from the I-635 freight corridor. Homes south of LBJ accumulate a greasy, dark-gray coating inside duct runs that you won’t find in newer suburbs to the north. This isn’t household dust; it’s particulate from the constant flow of freight and warehousing traffic along the freeway.
- Degraded fiberglass liner shedding into the airstream. Early fiberglass duct board and air handler liners installed in the 1960s break down over decades of North Texas heat. The result is fine glass particulate blowing out of registers even after the ductwork has been cleaned.
- Register-only cleaning that leaves the trunk lines packed. A quick vacuum at the registers doesn’t touch the main trunk lines running through the attic or under the slab. We use negative pressure and source removal with HEPA-filtered agitation to pull debris from the entire run, not just the visible opening.
Pricing for HVAC Cleaning in Farmers Branch, TX
A full HVAC cleaning for a typical 1,800 to 2,400 square foot ranch home in Farmers Branch runs $425 to $890. That includes the evaporator coil, blower assembly, air handler cabinet, and all accessible duct runs, plus camera inspection and the documented photo record. Standalone services run lower: coil cleaning at $180 to $320, blower at $120 to $200, and condenser at $140 to $240.
What moves the price within those ranges: system size, number of duct runs, accessibility in older attics and slab foundations, and how much sealing or repair work the camera reveals. If we find disconnected runs during the inspection, we’ll quote the sealing work separately in writing before anything else happens. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written estimate. We’ll put the number in front of you before a single panel comes off.

FAQs - HVAC Cleaning in Farmers Branch
The dark, greasy coating inside your ductwork is a direct fingerprint of the freight and warehousing traffic along I-635 and I-35E. Diesel particulate infiltrates homes south of LBJ, especially in the 1950s and 1960s ranches where original duct runs have separated or crushed over time. The kitchen exhaust and household dust blend with that outdoor particulate to create a contaminant that needs negative pressure and HEPA-filtered source removal, not just a vacuum pass. A camera inspection will show us exactly what’s in your runs and give us a baseline for the clean. Call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll schedule a look in writing.
Cleaning usually recovers far more performance than people expect, even on 1962 galvanized runs. The bigger issue in these homes is disconnection and compression: the slab settles, the original sheet metal shifts, and suddenly your system is pulling unfiltered air from the attic or under the house. We clean what’s accessible, document what we find with photos, and give you a written scope for sealing or replacing any runs that are beyond salvage. You don’t have to decide between cleaning and replacing until you’ve seen the inside of your ducts on camera.
Plan on every two to three years for a full system clean in Farmers Branch, more often if you live south of I-635 or near the commercial corridor along Valwood Pkwy. Newer Carrollton subdivisions built after 2000 typically hold up four to five years between cleans. The difference is the contamination source: Farmers Branch’s older homes sit next to constant freight traffic, and that particulate loads the ductwork faster than household dust alone.
Yes. We access under-slab runs through the existing registers and use negative pressure with HEPA-filtered agitation tools to pull debris back toward the collection point. We don’t cut into your floors or excavate anything. When the camera shows a crushed or disconnected section that can’t be reached through the existing openings, we’ll show you the photos and quote the repair separately. You decide what to address.
The coil in a 1960s Farmers Branch ranch has been cycling North Texas heat for six decades while pulling air through ducts that may be disconnected, crushed, or lined with degrading fiberglass. The result is a coil coated in a mix of household dust, diesel soot, and fine glass particulate. We clean the coil with dedicated coil-cleaning agents and HEPA-filtered extraction, and we photograph the coil before and after so you can see the difference. That’s the standard on every Farmers Branch job, not an upsell.
