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.
Fast, Reliable HVAC Cleaning Across Southlake
HVAC cleaning in Southlake typically costs $425-$1,150 depending on the number of air handlers and the condition of the ductwork, and most jobs are completed in a single day. Homes here are different from the rest of the Metroplex: a 4,000-6,000+ sq ft Southlake property with two or three air handlers is a different job entirely than a 2,200 sq ft tract home in Grapevine. We schedule Southlake work with enough time on the calendar to do it properly the first pass, because we know what’s waiting in those attics. Call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll give you a written price before a single panel comes off.
Key takeaways:
- Written price before any work starts, every time. No exceptions.
- Southlake’s multi-air-handler homes take two to three times longer to clean properly than a typical DFW tract home.
- Every job includes a Documented Photo Record of every duct run, before and after.
- The 365-Day Done Right Promise is in writing on every invoice.
Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Is Southlake’s Preferred HVAC Cleaning Company
Southlake homeowners tend to research before they call. They want documentation, not a pitch. That’s how we operate, and it’s why we’ve built a strong reputation in neighborhoods like Estes Park, Monticello, and Caruth Lakes. Our HVAC Cleaning team photographs the inside of every duct run and every air handler cabinet before and after the work. You see what we found. You see what we removed. There’s no ambiguity about whether the job was actually done.
Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and identified by name before arrival under Haven Standard Clause 3: Verified Crews. We publish our license number on the page, not buried in a footer. Tomas Reyes leads the team, and he’s held the same standard since our first job back in 2013: write the price, do the work, document the result. That’s the entire model.
Homes in Southlake need more than a basic vacuum pass. We understand how to access attic air handlers in large-footprint homes with restricted parking, how to clean multiple zones without missing the bonus room above the garage, and how to spot sagging 1990s flex duct before it becomes a $900 repair. That local knowledge is the difference between a clean system and a partially clean one.
Our HVAC Cleaning Services in Southlake

Evaporator Coil Cleaning
The evaporator coil sits inside the air handler and does the actual cooling work. In Southlake, where systems run nearly continuously from May through October, coils collect a biofilm of pollen, dust, and moisture within two or three seasons. The heavy post oak and cedar elm pollen load in the Eastern Cross Timbers makes this worse here than in drier parts of the Metroplex. We remove the coil panel, clean both sides, and treat the coil to prevent quick re-soiling. A typical evaporator coil cleaning in Southlake runs $180-$320 per air handler.

Blower Cleaning
The blower motor pulls air across the coil and pushes it through the ductwork. When the blower wheel is caked with dust, airflow drops and your system works harder than it should. In Southlake’s larger custom homes, where two or three blowers run in tandem, a dirty blower on the upper floor air handler can starve the master suite while the downstairs zones stay comfortable. Blower cleaning in Southlake typically runs $140-$260 per unit, and we remove the blower housing to clean the wheel properly rather than just blowing compressed air at it.

Condenser Cleaning
The condenser is the outdoor unit. Southlake lots are heavy with post oaks and cedar elms, and those trees shed constantly. Condenser fins clog with leaves, seed pods, and cottonwood debris, especially in zero-lot-line areas where units sit close to neighboring landscaping. We clean the fins, straighten them where needed, and clear the surrounding area so the unit can reject heat efficiently. Condenser cleaning in Southlake runs $120-$220 per unit.

Air Handler Cleaning
This is the service that matters most in Southlake. Homes here built between roughly 1990 and 2010 frequently have two or more air handlers, and many sit in unconditioned attics that hit 160°F in summer. The air handler cabinet collects dust, the drain pan develops biological growth, and the blower section pulls in whatever the attic holds. We clean the entire cabinet interior: blower, coil, drain pan, and return plenum. Air handler cleaning in Southlake runs $250-$450 per unit, and we include the camera inspection in that price.

Heat Exchanger Cleaning
For Southlake homes with gas furnaces, the heat exchanger accumulates soot and debris during winter heating months, then sits dormant while the AC runs all summer. A dirty heat exchanger restricts airflow and can cause premature cycling. We inspect and clean the heat exchanger surfaces during a full system cleaning. Heat exchanger cleaning in Southlake typically runs $150-$280, and we flag any cracks or rust that warrant a separate HVAC contractor evaluation. We don’t repair heat exchangers, but we’ll tell you honestly what we see.

Coil Treatment
After mechanical cleaning, we apply a coil treatment that resists the buildup of pollen, dust, and biological growth. In Southlake’s humidity, which gets a boost from proximity to Lake Grapevine, untreated coils re-soil quickly. The treatment extends the window between cleanings and keeps evaporator efficiency higher through the long cooling season. Coil treatment in Southlake runs $90-$150 per coil, and we only recommend it when it’s actually needed.

AfterTrusted Brands We Service in Southlake
We work on all major HVAC equipment brands, but we regularly service Southlake homes with Trane, Carrier, Lennox, and American Standard systems. The equipment we use for cleaning comes from trade-recognized manufacturers including Rotobrush, Nikro, and Guardsman. That matters because the quality of your cleaning is only as good as the tool doing the work. We don’t use shop vacs with a brush attachment. We use negative-pressure extraction equipment designed specifically for duct and coil cleaning, and we show you the equipment on the job so you know what you’re paying for.
Southlake customers often ask whether we stock parts locally. For coil treatments, filter media, and basic replacement components, we carry common inventory on the truck. For larger parts like blower motors or control boards, we coordinate with local supply houses in the Southlake and Grapevine area so turnaround stays tight.
Common HVAC Cleaning Problems We See in Southlake Homes

- Sagging flex duct in 1990s and early 2000s attics. The original flex duct in many Southlake homes runs through unconditioned attic spaces that hit 160°F in summer. Over 25-30 years, the inner liner separates and the duct sags between supports. Debris collects in those low spots, and a standard cleaning pass won’t reach it. We find this on roughly a third of the Southlake homes we clean.
- Partially cleaned multi-air-handler systems. Homes in neighborhoods like Estes Park and Timarron often have two or three air handlers. When a company treats the job like a single-zone tract home, the upper-floor bonus room or home theater never gets cleaned. Homeowners notice the master bedroom feels fresher but the media room still smells stale. We inventory every air handler and every zone before we start.
- Pollen and biological particulate buildup from Eastern Cross Timbers vegetation. Southlake sits in the Eastern Cross Timbers, a zone dense with post oaks and cedar elms. The pollen load is heavy in spring, and combined with localized humidity from Lake Grapevine, ducts accumulate mold spores, pollen, and dust mite debris faster than drier areas of the Metroplex. If your ducts haven’t been cleaned in five years, they’re carrying a measurable allergen load.
- Collapsed return lines above media rooms and bonus rooms. The extreme attic heat in large-footprint, dark-shingled Southlake roofs accelerates flex duct failure. We’ve found partially collapsed return lines above media rooms that restricted airflow to the point where the room never reached set temperature, regardless of how long the system ran. Camera inspection catches this before cleaning, and we’ll show you the footage.
Pricing for HVAC Cleaning in Southlake, TX
Southlake pricing reflects the reality of the housing stock here. A single air handler cleaning with evaporator coil and blower in a typical Southlake home runs $425-$650. A two-air-handler system runs $650-$950. A three-air-handler estate home, common in neighborhoods like Monticello or along Southlake Boulevard, runs $850-$1,150. Those are honest whole-system prices, not bait-and-switch coupons. We don’t do per-vent pricing, and we don’t give a low teaser figure that balloons once the van shows up.
What affects the price: the number of air handlers, the linear footage of duct runs, whether the attic ductwork is accessible or partially collapsed, and whether coil treatment is needed. You’ll see every line item in writing before we start, under Haven Standard Clause 1. If you have a written estimate from another company, bring it. We’ll put our number next to it at no charge. Call (806) 606-6902 for an exact price on your system.

FAQs - HVAC Cleaning in Southlake

Because it genuinely takes longer and involves more equipment. A 5,000 sq ft Southlake home with two air handlers, a media room, and a bonus room requires cleaning two or three blowers, multiple evaporator coils, and hundreds more linear feet of duct than a single-system Keller tract home. The labor is two to three times higher, and the price reflects that. Call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll give you a written line-item price for your specific system.
Yes. Visible mold is a separate problem from normal buildup. Even without mold, a dirty evaporator coil reduces efficiency and a dirty blower wheel restricts airflow. In Southlake’s long cooling season, systems run for months at a stretch, and that continuous operation forces the coil to collect whatever the air carries. Cleaning the coil and blower extends equipment life even when nothing looks alarming. We’ll show you the before photos either way.
We plan for it. Many Southlake homes have narrow driveways, HOA restrictions on street parking, or attic access points in tight hallway closets. Our crews carry protective floor coverings, use compact equipment, and coordinate access before arrival so we don’t block a neighbor’s driveway in a cul-de-sac. We’ve worked in Estes Park, Caruth Lakes, and Monticello enough to know the lot configurations.
The original flex duct in many 1990s Southlake homes was never designed for 30 years of 160°F attic heat. The inner liner separates, the outer jacket tears, and the duct sags between support straps. Debris settles in those low spots and airflow drops. Newer homes with hard pipe or better-insulated flex duct don’t fail the same way. We see the failure mode regularly, and camera inspection identifies it before cleaning starts. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written price that includes the inspection.
No. Supply register cleaning only addresses what’s visible at the end of the run. If the duct itself has a decade of dust, pollen, and debris, or if the flex duct has sagged and trapped debris mid-run, cleaning the registers does nothing for air quality in the room. The media room problem is usually upstream. We clean the full duct run and the air handler serving that zone, not just the visible grille.
