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.

AfterAir Duct Cleaning in McKinney, TX
Complete HVAC cleaning in McKinney typically runs $380-$720 for a whole-home system, with air quality and sanitizing services adding $220-$480 depending on scope. McKinney’s rapid growth means even newer homes in Painted Tree and Trinity Falls often need cleaning sooner than expected, thanks to construction dust infiltration during the build cycle. Call (940) 290-8552 for a written estimate before any work begins.
We’re CleanRun Duct Repair & Cleaning, independently owned and operated under the Haven Standard. Dispatch and scheduling are coordinated from our Dallas-Fort Worth office, and crews serve McKinney homes locally. Every job starts with a written price and ends with a documented photo record of every duct run.
Why McKinney Homes Are Different
McKinney has been one of the fastest-growing cities in the United States for over a decade. Even homes only 2-5 years old in communities like Painted Tree, Trinity Falls, and Erwin Farms sit adjacent to active subdivision construction. Builder ductwork in these neighborhoods often arrives pre-loaded with drywall dust, silica, and concrete particulate before owners ever notice a problem. This creates unusually high demand for duct cleaning on nearly-new homes, a pattern that does not exist in more fully built-out neighbors like Plano or Allen.
The housing stock tells the rest of the story. Most McKinney homes are large tract builds, 2,200-4,500 square feet, constructed between the mid-1990s and today in master-planned communities such as Stonebridge Ranch, Craig Ranch, and Tucker Hill. Nearly all were built with long runs of builder-grade flexible duct that sags over joists and accumulates debris in low spots. Homes in Stonebridge Ranch’s older sections are now entering the 20-30-year range where flex-duct liner deterioration and heavy sediment buildup become serious concerns.
Climate compounds the issue. McKinney’s North Texas weather drives HVAC cooling for roughly six months, cycling enormous volumes of air through ductwork far more aggressively than in moderate climates. Heavy spring pollen from Bermuda grass, cedar elm, and oak trees loads return ducts quickly. Periodic ice storms and hard freezes cause attic temperature swings that promote condensation inside poorly insulated duct runs, accelerating mold growth.
Our Main McKinney Services
McKinney homeowners call us most often for these three services. Each has its own dedicated McKinney page with full pricing and scope details.
Air Duct Cleaning in McKinney
We clean the full duct system, from return plenum (the sheet-metal box that collects air before it reaches the furnace) to every supply register, using negative-pressure extraction and rotary brush agitation. In McKinney, we regularly find construction dust in homes under five years old and compacted pollen layers in older Stonebridge Ranch properties. Every run is photographed before and after.

Dryer Vent Cleaning in McKinney
Dryer vent blockages are a leading cause of house fires. We remove lint buildup from the dryer connection through the exterior termination, measuring airflow before and after with an anemometer. McKinney’s newer homes in Craig Ranch often have longer vent runs through multiple stories, which trap lint more aggressively than single-wall designs. Dryer Vent Cleaning in McKinney
Duct Repair & Sealing in McKinney
We replace collapsed flex duct, seal leaks with mastic, and restore proper airflow to rooms that never get warm or cool. In the older Stonebridge Ranch sections near Lake of the Woods, we consistently find that builder-installed flex duct from the 1990s has collapsed at saddle points over ceiling joists, trapping years of compacted debris in unreachable low spots.

BeforeAfterHVAC Cleaning in McKinney
HVAC cleaning in McKinney addresses the components that move and condition air, not just the ducts that distribute it. With six months of annual cooling demand and pollen loads from Bermuda grass, cedar elm, and oak, evaporator coils and blowers here foul faster than in moderate climates. We photograph every component before and after, and every price is written before work starts. HVAC Cleaning covers our full scope for homeowners researching the trade.
Evaporator Coil Cleaning
Signs you need it
Ice buildup on the coil, weak airflow from registers, or cooling that cannot keep up with McKinney’s July afternoons.
What it costs in McKinney
Evaporator coil cleaning typically runs $180-$340 in McKinney, depending on accessibility and contamination level.
How we do it
We access the coil through the plenum, apply foaming cleaner, rinse with low-pressure water, and capture all runoff so nothing enters the drain pan untreated.
Blower Cleaning
Signs you need it
Vibration or noise from the air handler, uneven heating or cooling, or dust puffing from registers when the system cycles on.
What it costs in McKinney
Blower cleaning and balancing in McKinney generally falls between $160-$280.
How we do it
We remove the blower assembly, clean each blade and the housing with compressed air and solvent, balance the wheel, and reassemble with torque to manufacturer spec.
What HVAC Cleaning Costs in McKinney
| Item | Typical range in McKinney |
|---|---|
| Evaporator coil cleaning | $180-$340 |
| Blower cleaning | $160-$280 |
| Full HVAC cleaning (coil + blower + housing) | $380-$620 |
How do I know my HVAC components actually need cleaning?
We inspect every component with a borescope camera and show you the image before quoting. If the coil is clean, we say so and charge nothing for the check.
Can HVAC cleaning fix rooms that stay too hot or cold?
Sometimes. A dirty blower or blocked coil reduces total system capacity. If the components are clean and the room still underperforms, the problem is duct design or leakage, which we diagnose separately.
Air Quality & Sanitizing in McKinney
Air quality and sanitizing in McKinney targets the biological and particulate loads that North Texas climate and rapid construction create. Condensation from attic temperature swings feeds mold in poorly insulated duct runs, while pollen and construction dust provide nutrients for bacterial growth. We treat the source, not the symptom, with documented before-and-after verification. Air Quality & Sanitizing details our full protocol.
Mold Treatment
Signs you need it
Musty odor when the HVAC cycles, visible growth at registers, or moisture stains on ceiling drywall beneath duct runs.
What it costs in McKinney
Whole-system mold treatment in McKinney typically ranges from $280-$520.
How we do it
We apply EPA-registered antimicrobial through the duct system under negative pressure, treat the affected surfaces with Abatement Technologies fogging equipment, and verify clearance with air sampling.
UV Light Installation
Signs you need it
Recurring mold despite cleaning, chronic allergy symptoms indoors, or a system located in a humid attic space.
What it costs in McKinney
UV-C lamp installation in McKinney runs $320-$580 including the lamp, housing, and electrical connection.
How we do it
We mount a Honeywell or Aprilaire UV lamp in the supply plenum, wire it to the blower circuit so it runs only when air moves, and show you the installation before we close the panel.
What Air Quality & Sanitizing Costs in McKinney
| Item | Typical range in McKinney |
|---|---|
| Mold treatment (whole system) | $280-$520 |
| UV light installation | $320-$580 |
| Combined air quality package | $480-$860 |
Is mold in ducts common in McKinney?
More common than in drier climates. Ice storms and hard freezes create attic temperature swings that condense moisture inside poorly insulated flex duct, especially in Stonebridge Ranch’s older sections.
Do UV lights actually work, or are they a gimmick?
Properly installed UV-C lamps at the coil surface prevent mold growth there, which is a documented source of spore circulation. They do not sterilize moving air in a single pass.
Brands We Service in McKinney
We stock parts and service equipment from Honeywell, Aprilaire, Abatement Technologies, and Guardsman. Most common filter housings, UV lamps, and media cabinets are on the truck, so McKinney homeowners are not waiting for a second trip. our brands
