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 North Dallas, TX
HVAC cleaning in North Dallas typically runs $380-$620 for a full system, with most jobs completed in one day. The area’s 1960s-1990s housing stock, near-continuous summer cooling cycles, and expansive black clay soil create duct conditions we don’t see in newer suburbs. CleanRun crews coordinate dispatch from our Dallas-Fort Worth office and serve North Dallas with written upfront pricing on every job. Call (940) 290-8552 for a free estimate.
Why North Dallas Homes Are Different
North Dallas sits on the Dallas-area’s expansive black clay vertisol, the soil famous for cracking foundations. That same seasonal heaving and settling stresses attic framing and duct hangers enough to separate flex-duct joints and open seams in duct board systems. We regularly find disconnected duct runs bleeding conditioned air into 140°F attics while pulling attic insulation fibers and superheated air back into living spaces.
The dominant residential buildout here ran from the late 1960s through the 1990s. Far North Dallas subdivisions, Preston Hollow estates, and the LBJ Freeway belt carry original fiberglass duct board or early-generation flex-duct now 30-50 years old. Those materials crumble, sag, and shed fibers into the airstream after decades of thermal cycling. Dallas’s cooling season, roughly May through October with regular triple-digit days, pulls massive volumes of air and airborne clay dust, oak pollen, and ragweed through ductwork at rates that accelerate particulate buildup beyond what Houston or San Antonio systems experience.
Our Main North Dallas Services
North Dallas homeowners most often call us about these three services.
Air Duct Cleaning in North Dallas
We clean the full duct network, from plenum to register, using negative-pressure extraction (suction that pulls debris out without releasing it into your home). In North Dallas, we regularly encounter original duct board in Lake Highlands and Preston Hollow homes where the interior lining has begun to degrade. Every run is photographed before and after. Air Duct Cleaning in North Dallas
Dryer Vent Cleaning in North Dallas
Dryer vent blockages are common in North Dallas’s larger 1980s-90s two-story homes with long vent runs through attics. Lint accumulation in these extended horizontal runs creates fire hazards and extends drying cycles. We clear the full vent path and verify airflow at termination. Dryer Vent Cleaning in North Dallas
Duct Repair & Sealing in North Dallas
Black clay soil movement and decades of attic heat cycling separate joints and crack duct board in this market. We reconnect detached runs, seal seams with mastic, and replace degraded sections. Repairs are photographed and priced in writing before work begins. Duct Repair & Sealing in North Dallas

BeforeAfterHVAC Cleaning in North Dallas
Full HVAC cleaning addresses the components air moves through after it leaves your ducts: the evaporator coil, blower assembly, condenser, and air handler. In North Dallas, these components work harder and longer than nearly anywhere in Texas, with systems running near-continuously through six-month cooling seasons in 140°F attics. The combination of aged housing stock and extreme runtime means we regularly find coils clogged with compacted clay dust and pollen, and blower wheels coated in debris that reduces airflow by 30% or more. HVAC Cleaning is structured to address these specific local conditions.
Evaporator Coil Cleaning
Signs you need it
Ice forming on the coil, weak airflow from registers, or cooling that can’t keep up after 2 PM in July.
What it costs in North Dallas
Evaporator coil cleaning 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), apply foaming cleaner, rinse with low-pressure water, and capture all runoff so nothing enters your living space.
Blower Cleaning
Signs you need it
Unusual vibration, longer cooling cycles, or dust puffing from registers when the system starts.
What it costs in North Dallas
Blower assembly cleaning typically runs $140-$260 based on motor type and debris buildup.
How we do it
We remove the blower housing, clean the wheel and motor housing with compressed air and solvent, balance the assembly, and reinstall with fresh hardware.
What HVAC Cleaning Costs in North Dallas
| Item | Typical range in North Dallas |
|---|---|
| Evaporator coil cleaning | $180-$340 |
| Blower assembly cleaning | $140-$260 |
| Full HVAC system cleaning (coil + blower + air handler) | $380-$620 |
How do I know my HVAC needs cleaning versus just my ducts?
If your ducts are clean but rooms still won’t cool evenly, or your electric bill spikes in July despite normal thermostat settings, the problem is likely in the coil or blower. We inspect these components during every duct cleaning and flag issues in writing.
Can HVAC cleaning fix my high summer electric bills?
A dirty coil or blower can increase energy use by 15-25%; cleaning restores designed airflow and reduces runtime. In North Dallas’s six-month cooling season, that reduction compounds quickly. Call (940) 290-8552 for an exact quote.
Air Quality & Sanitizing in North Dallas
Air quality work addresses what lives in your ductwork after the debris is removed: mold in humid attic sections, bacteria in condensation pans, and persistent odors from degraded duct board. North Dallas’s aged housing stock is particularly susceptible because original fiberglass duct board and early flex-duct liners break down and trap moisture in ways modern materials don’t. The 140°F attic temperatures followed by cooling-driven condensation create thermal cycling that fosters microbial growth in plenums and trunk lines. Air Quality & Sanitizing targets these conditions with documented application.
Mold Treatment
Signs you need it
Musty smell when the system starts, visible growth around registers, or allergy symptoms that worsen at home.
What it costs in North Dallas
Mold treatment for a typical North Dallas system runs $280-$480 depending on affected duct footage.
How we do it
We apply EPA-registered antimicrobial through the full duct network, treat the plenum and coil pan, and provide before-and-after photos of treated surfaces.
UV Light Installation
Signs you need it
Recurring mold after treatment, or a system in a dark, humid attic with chronic microbial issues.
What it costs in North Dallas
UV light installation typically runs $320-$560 including the lamp and electrical connection.
How we do it
We mount a UV-C lamp in the supply plenum, wire it to the blower circuit, and verify irradiance levels with a meter.
What Air Quality & Sanitizing Costs in North Dallas
| Item | Typical range in North Dallas |
|---|---|
| Mold treatment (full system) | $280-$480 |
| Bacteria sanitizing | $220-$380 |
| UV light installation | $320-$560 |
Is mold in ducts common in North Dallas?
Yes, particularly in 1970s-80s homes with original duct board where attic humidity and condensation collect in degraded liner pores. We find it in roughly one-third of North Dallas inspections. Call (940) 290-8552 for a free inspection.
Will UV lights actually prevent mold from coming back?
UV-C lamps inhibit mold and bacterial growth on coil and plenum surfaces when properly sized and maintained; they don’t sterilize moving air. We size lamps to manufacturer spec and include replacement scheduling.
