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 The Colony Residents Choose Us for Carrier Service
We’ve been running CleanRun crews in this area since 2013, and The Colony’s master-planned neighborhoods have been a regular part of our route from the beginning. Our owner, Tomas Reyes, grew up in the Bronx and learned the trade at Bronx Community College before moving into HVAC and ductwork across the Northeast. He’s been overseeing Carrier service calls in The Colony for well over a decade now, including regular work in the Starwood neighborhood where older construction tends to hide more accumulated debris than homeowners expect.
We know the Carrier systems here. The Performance Series 24ACC6 units, the Comfort Series 24ABC6 models, the Infinity line with its variable-speed blowers, and even the 38MURA ductless splits that started appearing in later additions. Our technicians carry OEM-compatible blower motors, control boards, and ignition components for common Carrier failures, and for duct repairs we stock high-quality aftermarket flex duct and mastic sealants that meet or exceed original specifications.
The photo is already on your phone before I say what it costs. That’s been our practice since 2013. Every duct run, before and after, delivered as part of the standard job record. No exceptions.
We’re independently owned and operated under the Haven Standard, not a franchise, and our license number is published on every page, not buried in a footer. The Colony service area coverage includes the full city limits and surrounding neighborhoods.
Common Carrier Air Duct Cleaning Problems We Solve in The Colony
- Brittle fiberglass duct board and compressed flex duct. The Colony’s 1980s-90s housing stock was built with early-generation flex duct and fiberglass duct board that is now 30-50 years old. In Carrier systems from this era, the material has turned brittle and compressed at joints, creating airflow restrictions that trap debris. Lake Lewisville’s higher ambient humidity accelerates the breakdown, making The Colony’s aging Carrier ductwork deteriorate faster than equivalent systems in drier inland suburbs.
- Mold colonization from attic condensation. Carrier systems with oversized evaporator coils run longer cooling cycles during The Colony’s 100°F+ summer stretches from June through September. Combined with the city’s measurably higher relative humidity from its Lake Lewisville shoreline position, this creates condensation inside unconditioned attic duct runs that drives mold growth and dust-mite proliferation inside duct linings.
- Flex duct joints pulled apart by soil movement. The Colony’s Blackland Prairie expansive clay soils shift seasonally with rainfall cycles, torquing attic platforms on slab homes. We’ve found flex duct joints at elbow connections that have separated entirely or been pinched closed, turning what looks like a routine cleaning into a repair call once the camera goes in. This happens across the city’s concentrated 1980s-90s housing stock.
- Return duct leaks pulling in attic debris. Gaps near the air handler in Carrier return plenums draw in insulation particles and dust from hot attics, clogging evaporator coils and reducing system efficiency. In The Colony’s older homes, these leaks often go unnoticed until a video inspection shows the buildup pattern.
- Debris accumulation from high cycle rates. DFW’s extended cooling season forces Carrier systems to run nearly around the clock for months, pulling particulates through aging ductwork at rates the original designers never anticipated. The Colony’s uniform housing vintage means many systems are operating well past their intended service life.
BeforeAfterCarrier Service in The Colony: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
The Colony presents a specific combination of factors that shape Carrier ductwork service in ways you won’t find in neighboring cities. The city was built almost entirely as a master-planned community between the mid-1970s and mid-1990s, which means a huge share of single-family homes here have ductwork hitting 30-50 years of age simultaneously. That alone would be significant. But The Colony sits directly on the southern shore of Lake Lewisville, and that shoreline position pushes ambient humidity noticeably higher than inland DFW suburbs like Frisco or Plano.
For Carrier owners, this means aging fiberglass duct board and flex duct systems face accelerated moisture infiltration, mold colonization, and debris accumulation that our technicians routinely find worse than in newer master-planned communities. The 1980s-era Carrier Comfort Series and early Performance Series units still running in The Colony were designed for different conditions than what this climate now delivers. When we open a return plenum in a Stewart Peninsula home and find the duct board crumbling at the corners, or when we camera a flex run in Starwood and see mold staining at every low point, that’s not a maintenance issue. That’s a 40-year-old system meeting 2020s humidity levels.
Add the Blackland Prairie clay soil movement, and you get flex duct joints that separate at elbows where attic platforms have shifted. We’ve learned to bring repair materials on every The Colony call, because cleaning without inspecting for separation is incomplete work.
Carrier Models & Products We Service in The Colony
We service the full range of Carrier residential equipment found in The Colony homes. This includes the Carrier sales & service lines: Performance Series (24ACC6, 24ANB7), Comfort Series (24ABC6, 24ABB3), Infinity Series (24ANB1, 24VNA0), and the 38MURA/38MARB and 40MBDQ/40MBAB ductless and multi-zone systems. Our technicians have hands-on experience with Carrier systems dating back to the 1980s units still common in The Colony’s slab-on-grade tract homes.
For critical components like blower motors and control boards, we source OEM Carrier parts when available. For duct repairs, we use high-quality aftermarket flex duct, mastic sealants, and insulation that meet or exceed OEM specifications. We stock common Carrier repair items locally for fast turnaround on The Colony calls, and we always provide an honest repair-vs-replace assessment, especially when ductwork is 30+ years old and patching may not be cost-effective.
Carrier Service Pricing in The Colony
Whole-home Air Duct Cleaning - The Colony ranges from $380 to $620, depending on system size, ductwork accessibility, and whether we find conditions that require repair before cleaning can be completed effectively. A standard job includes full negative-pressure extraction (vacuuming debris from the ductwork while the system is under suction), register and return cleaning, and our Documented Photo Record of every duct run before and after.
What drives cost: number of duct runs, presence of mold or heavy debris requiring additional treatment, and whether flex duct repair or sealing is needed once the camera goes in. We deliver a written price before any work starts, every time, under Haven Standard Clause 1. No per-vent pricing, no teaser coupons, no invoice inflation once the truck is in your driveway.

FAQs - Carrier Air Duct Cleaning in The Colony
Every 3 to 5 years for most The Colony homes, though homes with pets, allergies, or visible mold may need more frequent service. The Colony’s higher humidity from Lake Lewisville accelerates debris accumulation and mold risk inside Carrier duct linings, especially in the city’s 30-50-year-old housing stock. Call (940) 290-8552 and we’ll assess your specific system condition with a free estimate.
We can repair localized damage with new flex duct and mastic sealant, but if the material is extensively brittle or compressed across multiple runs, replacement is more cost-effective long-term. In The Colony’s 1980s-90s homes, we often find partial replacement is the practical middle path. We always show you the camera footage and give a written repair-vs-replace assessment before proceeding.
Uneven airflow after cleaning usually indicates a hidden duct separation or pinch that the cleaning process exposed, not caused. In The Colony, clay soil movement frequently separates flex duct joints at attic elbows. Our video inspection catches this during the service call, and we repair it before we leave. The Stewart Peninsula job we mentioned earlier is a typical example: pulled-apart joint at an attic elbow, repaired with new flex and mastic, full system cleaning completed afterward.
Carrier’s official guidance acknowledges that mold in ductwork requires professional remediation; the manufacturer does not specify a particular cleaning method. Our approach is documentation-first: we photograph the mold, explain the treatment options, and perform mechanical cleaning with appropriate antimicrobial treatment when indicated. We do not sell unnecessary treatments, and we show you the before-and-after photos of your own ducts.
Yes. We regularly service 1980s and 1990s Carrier Comfort Series and early Performance Series units still operating in The Colony’s master-planned neighborhoods. Our technicians understand the ductwork configurations and failure modes specific to these systems, and we carry OEM-compatible parts for common repairs. Age alone does not disqualify a system from professional duct cleaning or repair.
