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.

Why Plano Homes Are Different
Plano’s 1970s-1990s build-out along the US-75 corridor produced thousands of slab-on-grade ranch and two-story tract homes with attic-run fiberglass duct board or early flex-duct systems. That housing stock is now 40-50 years old, and decades of North Texas thermal cycling - attics hitting 140°F+ for eight to nine months annually - have degraded duct liners and loosened connections in ways newer suburbs simply don’t match. In East Plano subdivisions near Central Expressway, we regularly find duct board where the interior liner has delaminated, shedding glass fibers directly into conditioned airflow.
The climate compounds the problem. Plano’s back-to-back allergy seasons - mountain cedar December through February, then oak and grass pollen through late spring - rank among the worst in North Texas. An eight-to-nine-month cooling season means particulate load accumulates faster than in moderate climates, while spring storm humidity creates condensation risk inside poorly insulated attic ductwork. These conditions make Plano’s older east-side housing stock the most urgent air duct cleaning market in the northern Dallas suburbs.
Our Main Plano Services
Plano homeowners call us most often for these three services. Each has its own dedicated Plano page with deeper detail on local conditions and pricing.
Air Duct Cleaning in Plano
We clean supply and return duct runs in Plano homes using negative-pressure extraction - a vacuum system that pulls debris out while agitation tools loosen buildup at the duct walls. In East and Central Plano, we often encounter original fiberglass duct board from the 1980s that requires gentler handling than modern flex duct. Every job includes a Documented Photo Record of every run, before and after, delivered as part of the standard job record. Air Duct Cleaning in Plano
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Plano
Dryer vent cleaning in Plano addresses lint accumulation that restricts airflow and creates fire risk, particularly in homes where the vent run extends through hot attic space. We inspect the full length with a camera, remove blockages with professional augers, and verify airflow restoration with a meter reading. The photo record shows the before condition and the clear passage after. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Plano
Duct Repair & Sealing in Plano
Duct repair in Plano often follows the discovery of delaminated duct board or disconnected flex-duct joints in older attic systems. We replace damaged sections with new insulated flex or sheet metal, seal connections with mastic, and pressure-test the system to verify integrity. The work is photographed and the repair scope is written into the job record before we leave. Duct Repair & Sealing in Plano

BeforeAfterHVAC Cleaning in Plano
Plano’s aging attic duct systems and extended cooling season put unusual load on HVAC components. Evaporator coils in East Plano homes often carry years of accumulated debris that restricts heat transfer and raises energy bills, while blower assemblies distribute whatever the ducts shed. HVAC Cleaning from CleanRun addresses the full air-handling path with documented results.
Evaporator Coil Cleaning
Signs you need it
Ice formation on the coil, weak airflow from registers, or cooling bills that climb through June and July without thermostat changes.
What it costs in Plano
Evaporator coil cleaning in Plano typically runs $180-$340 depending on accessibility and contamination level.
How we do it
We access the coil through the plenum - the main distribution box above the air handler - apply foaming cleaner that lifts debris without bending fins, rinse with low-pressure water, and photograph the before and after condition.
Blower Cleaning
Signs you need it
Vibration or noise from the air handler, uneven airflow between rooms, or dust streaking from supply registers immediately after filter changes.
What it costs in Plano
Blower assembly cleaning in Plano typically runs $140-$260 based on motor type and assembly complexity.
How we do it
We remove the blower housing, clean the squirrel cage and motor housing with compressed air and solvent, balance the assembly on reinstallation, and record amp draw before and after to verify performance.
What HVAC Cleaning Costs in Plano
| Item | Typical range in Plano |
|---|---|
| Evaporator coil cleaning | $180-$340 |
| Blower assembly cleaning | $140-$260 |
| Full system cleaning (coil + blower + ducts) | $380-$620 |
How do I know my HVAC needs cleaning versus just new filters?
Filters catch what passes through them, not what bypasses through gaps or what accumulates on the coil and blower upstream. If you’re changing filters on schedule and still seeing dust streaking, smelling musty air, or paying rising cooling bills, the contamination is downstream of the filter. Call (940) 290-8552 and we’ll show you the coil and blower condition with a camera before quoting any work.
Will HVAC cleaning lower my summer electric bill in Plano?
A clean coil transfers heat efficiently; a dirty one forces the compressor to run longer. In Plano’s eight-to-nine-month cooling season, that runtime difference shows up in kWh. We measure temperature split before and after cleaning so you have a documented baseline.
Air Quality & Sanitizing in Plano
Plano’s consecutive allergy seasons and humid spring storms create conditions where microbial growth in attic ductwork becomes a recurring problem, particularly in older homes with degraded duct board that traps moisture. Air Quality & Sanitizing from CleanRun treats the source, not just the symptoms, with application equipment from Guardsman and Abatement Technologies.
Mold Treatment
Signs you need it
Musty odor when the system cycles, visible spotting on registers or duct board, or allergy symptoms that worsen at home and improve away.
What it costs in Plano
Mold treatment in Plano typically runs $280-$480 depending on affected duct length and whether the plenum requires access.
How we do it
We apply an EPA-registered antimicrobial through the duct system using a fogging unit, allow proper dwell time, then extract residual moisture with negative-pressure equipment and photograph treated surfaces.
UV Light Installation
Signs you need it
Recurring microbial growth after cleaning, persistent musty odor, or a household with allergy-sensitive occupants.
What it costs in Plano
UV-C light installation in Plano typically runs $320-$540 including the lamp assembly and electrical connection.
How we do it
We mount a Honeywell or Aprilaire UV lamp in the supply plenum where it irradiates the coil and immediate airflow, wire to the blower circuit for automatic operation, and document the installation with before and after photos.
What Air Quality & Sanitizing Costs in Plano
| Item | Typical range in Plano |
|---|---|
| Mold treatment (duct system) | $280-$480 |
| Bacteria sanitizing | $220-$380 |
| UV-C light installation | $320-$540 |
Is UV light worth the cost in Plano’s climate?
Plano’s humidity and long cooling season create ideal conditions for coil mold. A UV lamp mounted at the coil prevents regrowth between cleanings, which matters when the system runs nine months a year. We install Honeywell and Aprilaire units with a one-year lamp warranty.
How do I know mold treatment actually worked?
We photograph every treated surface before and after application, and we test odor and airflow at registers before leaving. The 365-Day Done Right Promise means if musty odor returns, we return. No manager approval required - it’s in writing on every job.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Plano
Standard air duct cleaning and HVAC component cleaning do not require permits in Plano. Duct replacement or modifications that alter the system capacity may require inspection through the city’s Development Center. We handle permit documentation on any job where replacement crosses that threshold, and we note it in the written scope before work begins.
Most Plano appointments are available within three to five business days. We do not maintain a same-day or emergency dispatch model - duct cleaning is a scheduled maintenance job, and we allocate sufficient time per home to complete the full photo record without rushing. Call (940) 290-8552 to check current availability.
Yes. Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed under Haven Standard Clause 3: Verified Crews, and they carry identification by name. We schedule within HOA contractor windows and provide certificate of insurance documentation on request. The crew photographs the work area condition on arrival and departure to document that no property damage occurred.
Every CleanRun job concludes with a Documented Photo Record showing the interior of every duct run before and after cleaning, delivered as part of the standard job record. You see what we saw. If a run was inaccessible or did not require cleaning, that is noted in writing with the reason. The 365-Day Done Right Promise backs the documentation - if the work is not right, we make it right.
The $79 coupon model typically covers a brief vacuum at one or two registers, not a whole-system cleaning with negative-pressure extraction and photo documentation. The low price gets the van in the driveway; the upsell begins once the technician is inside. CleanRun’s written price covers the full scope before work starts - no per-vent charges, no equipment surcharges, no bait-and-switch.
Homes in Plano’s pollen-heavy environment with aging duct board benefit from cleaning every three to five years. Homes with allergy-sensitive occupants, pets, or recent renovation may need more frequent service. We inspect with a camera and recommend based on what we find, not on a calendar.
We accept check, major credit cards, and electronic payment. The full written price is confirmed before work begins under Haven Standard Clause 1, and payment is collected on completion after you review the photo record and written scope. No deposit is required for standard residential appointments in Plano.
Yes. Bring any competitor’s written estimate and CleanRun will put our number next to it at no cost. The Free Second Opinion is part of the H.A.V.E.N. Standard on every job. We explain where the scopes differ and why, so you can compare actual work proposed rather than headline prices.
