Air Duct Cleaning in Fort Worth - Flat Price Per System, No Per-Vent Upsells

Trusted Air Duct Cleaning for Fort Worth Homeowners

Air duct cleaning in Fort Worth typically costs $285 to $485 for a whole-home system, and a proper job takes three to five hours using negative-air equipment rather than a shop vac. Most Fort Worth homes need this every three to five years, though houses with pets, recent renovations, or allergy sufferers often warrant shorter intervals. Hollis Air Duct Fort Worth has served this market since 2004 under The Garrison Standard: written prices before work starts, background-checked uniformed technicians, and a 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing on every job. If your ducts are blowing dust onto furniture or your vents have visible buildup, call (682) 255-2572 for a straight answer and a free estimate.

Air Duct Cleaning Services

Air Duct Cleaning Services cover the full path air travels through your home: supply ducts, return ducts, registers, the plenum, and the blower housing. In Fort Worth, where summer heat pushes HVAC systems to run six months straight, dust, pet dander, and construction debris accumulate faster than homeowners expect. We use Rotobrush rotary brush systems paired with Nikro negative-air machines to agitate and extract debris without blowing it back into living spaces. Full System Cleaning for a typical 2,000-square-foot Fort Worth home runs $285 to $485, written down before we touch anything.

Supply and Return Duct Work

Supply ducts push conditioned air out; return ducts pull room air back. Both need cleaning, and crews that quote only supply runs are leaving the harder half of the system untouched. We clean both, every time.

Registers, Grilles, and Plenum

The metal grilles you see in each room and the main plenum box above your furnace collect the same film as the duct interiors. We remove, wash, and wipe down every register and clean the plenum surfaces during the same visit.

HVAC Duct Cleaning

HVAC Duct Cleaning addresses the ductwork attached to your heating and cooling equipment, not just the visible vents. This matters in Fort Worth because high-efficiency systems with tighter coil spacing clog faster, and clogged coils force the blower to work harder, which raises electric bills during July and August. Hollis Air Duct Fort Worth cleans the full HVAC duct path, including the supply trunk, branch runs, return drops, and the air handler area. The written price for HVAC duct cleaning on a standard single-system home is $285 to $485, and we go over what is included line by line before the work begins.

Air Handler and Coil Area

Dust that bypasses a dirty filter settles on the evaporator coil and blower wheel. We vacuum and brush these areas carefully, because a coil caked with dust can cut airflow by 20 percent or more, which shortens equipment life.

Filter Housings and Return Drops

The return drop, the vertical duct section near your filter, often holds the heaviest dust load in the house. We pull the filter, clean the housing, and clear the Return Duct Cleaning area so the system breathes properly from day one after the job.

Vent Cleaning

Vent Cleaning focuses on the visible registers and the first several feet of duct behind them, where dust, hair, and cooking grease collect fastest. Fort Worth homes with high foot traffic, shedding pets, or carpet in most rooms see vent buildup within a year of a full cleaning. This service works as a maintenance step between full duct cleanings, and it is also the right call before moving into a new home. Vent cleaning for all registers in an average home runs $285 to $485 as part of a complete service, and we write the price down before any work starts.

Visible Buildup and Odor Sources

When you can see gray film around a register or smell a musty note when the blower kicks on, the vent throats are usually the source. Cleaning them out removes the material that holds odors and restores free airflow into each room.

Post-Renovation Vent Clearing

Drywall dust and sawdust travel, and after a Fort Worth remodel or flooring replacement, that dust packs into vent openings and the first few feet of duct. We clear it before it gets pulled deeper into the system where it is harder to remove.

Air Duct Repair

Air Duct Repair fixes the leaks, separated joints, crushed sections, and disconnected runs that waste conditioned air inside walls, attics, and crawlspaces. In Fort Worth’s clay soil, slab movement and seasonal shifting can pull duct joints apart over time, and attics in older neighborhoods like Ridglea Hills and Wedgwood often hide loose connections. We seal joints with mastic, reattach separated sections, and patch punctured flex duct. Repair work is quoted in writing before we start, and every repair carries the 365-Day Done Right Promise: if it fails within a year, we return at no charge.

Leak Sealing with Mastic

Mastic is a brush-on sealant that stays flexible and fills gaps tape cannot hold. We use it on metal-to-metal and metal-to-flex connections, which is where most system leakage occurs.

Crushed or Separated Flex Runs

Flex duct kinked around attic framing or crushed by stored boxes starves entire rooms of airflow. We identify these restrictions during inspection and repair or replace the affected section on the same visit, whenever parts allow.

Ductwork Cleaning

Ductwork Cleaning is the full-length cleaning of the duct runs themselves, not just the register openings. This is the service that produces the most noticeable difference in Fort Worth homes with years of accumulated pet hair, dust, and the occasional surprise like a child’s toy or a dryer sheet that made it past the return. We use negative-air extraction while brushing the duct walls, so debris is pulled out of the house instead of recirculated. Ductwork cleaning for a complete system in a typical Fort Worth home runs $285 to $485, written down before the job starts.

Negative-Air Extraction Method

A negative-air machine puts the duct system under suction while a rotary brush agitates the walls. The dust moves in one direction: out. This is the same method commercial cleaning standards specify, and it works on both rigid and flex duct.

Whole-Home Debris Removal

What comes out of Fort Worth ducts is usually a mix of dust, insulation fibers, pet dander, and construction debris. We capture and remove it all from the property, and we show you what we pulled out before we pack up, including before-and-after photos of your own ducts.

Air Duct Inspection

Air Duct Inspection is a camera and visual assessment of your duct system to find leaks, blockages, mold, pest activity, and separation before they become expensive problems. We recommend one for any Fort Worth home older than ten years that has never had its ducts looked at, or before buying a house, because what is inside the ducts rarely shows up on a standard home inspection report. Inspections are included with every cleaning estimate, and we walk you through what we find with photos you can see. A standalone inspection runs $285 to $485 if no cleaning is performed, and that fee is credited toward the cleaning price if you proceed.

Camera Runs and Leak Checks

We run a small camera through accessible duct runs to document interior condition, looking for sagging sections, disconnected joints, and moisture staining that suggests a leak or condensation problem. You see the same images we see.

Pre-Purchase Duct Assessments

If you are buying a home in Fort Worth, an inspection before closing tells you whether the ducts need cleaning, repair, or replacement, which strengthens your negotiating position before you commit to a mortgage payment.

Residential Air Duct Cleaning

Residential Duct Cleaning is the whole-home service most Fort Worth homeowners schedule every three to five years, and more often if they have indoor pets, kids with allergies, or a renovation in the rearview mirror. Homes in neighborhoods like Arlington Heights and Ridglea Hills with original ductwork from the 1950s and 60s benefit most, because decades of layered dust do not clear themselves. Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed, and they arrive inside the quoted window with the price already written down. A standard single-family home runs $285 to $485, and the price does not move at the door.

Homes with Pets and Allergies

Pet dander and hair are among the smallest particles in your ducts, and they accumulate in the return side first. Cleaning removes that reservoir, which gives allergy medication a fighting chance in a household with two dogs and a cat.

Post-Construction and Move-In Cleanings

New drywall dust and sawdust settle into ducts before you ever spend a night in the house. We clean ducts after renovation work and before move-in so the first year in a new Fort Worth home does not start with dirty air.

Commercial Air Duct Cleaning

Commercial Duct Cleaning serves offices, retail spaces, medical suites, and light industrial buildings across Fort Worth, where tenant turnover, foot traffic, and code expectations differ from a single-family home. Commercial jobs are quoted after a walkthrough because building size, duct configuration, and after-hours access all affect the price. We work nights and weekends when the building is empty, and we follow the same written-price rule: the number on the quote is the number on the invoice. Commercial systems typically run $285 to $485 per system and scale from there, with a written proposal before any contract is signed.

Offices and Retail Spaces

Employees and customers both notice stale air in a storefront, and dusty registers on a retail ceiling do not help the brand. We clean ducts in occupied spaces with minimal disruption, using containment and negative-air extraction to keep the work area clean.

Medical and Dental Suites

Medical tenants in Fort Worth are expected to maintain indoor air quality to a higher standard, and duct cleaning is part of that obligation. We provide before-and-after photo documentation for facility records, which also helps with lease compliance conversations.

Brands We Service

We work on duct systems attached to all major HVAC equipment brands, and our crews are trained on the equipment that matters most to Fort Worth homeowners. Rotobrush rotary brush systems are our primary agitation tool, and the company’s AiR+ machine is built for both residential and light commercial duct interiors. It gets into the duct walls where a plain vacuum cannot reach.

Nikro negative-air machines provide the suction side of our cleaning process, pulling loosened debris out of the home instead of stirring it around. On the filtration side, we are familiar with Honeywell media cabinets and electronic air cleaners, and we check filter fit and condition on every job, whether you have a Honeywell, Aprilaire, or any other make.

Signs You Need a Pro Right Now

• Visible dust and debris around your supply registers. This tells you the duct interior is loaded and the system is pushing that material into living spaces every cycle. It will not clear itself, and it usually gets worse through the next pollen season.
• Rooms that never seem to reach the thermostat setting. When one bedroom stays hot in August while the hallway feels fine, a disconnected or crushed duct run is a real possibility. A camera inspection confirms it in under an hour.
• A musty or stale odor that appears only when the blower runs. That smell lives in the ductwork, not the air, and it comes from material packed into the return side. Cleaning removes the source instead of masking it.
• Family members with allergies that get worse indoors. Ducts act as a reservoir for dander, pollen, and dust mites that recirculate all year. If symptoms ease when you leave the house, the ducts are a prime suspect.
• Renovation dust that will not settle out. Drywall and flooring dust is fine enough to stay airborne through many filter cycles. Once it coats the duct interior, every future cycle re-suspends a little more into your air.

Our Process, Step by Step

1. 1
   Walkthrough and written price. We inspect the system, show you what we see, and write down the price before any work begins. That number does not change at the door, and it covers the entire system, not a teaser rate for a partial job.
2. 2
   Equipment setup and containment. We lay floor protection, connect the negative-air machine to your duct system, and seal the registers not being actively worked. This creates a controlled airflow path so debris leaves the house instead of floating back into it.
3. 3
   Agitation and extraction. A Rotobrush rotary brush system works through each duct run while the Nikro negative-air machine stays under suction. Dust, hair, and debris travel one direction: out of the system and into containment.
4. 4
   Component cleaning and inspection. We clean registers, grilles, the plenum, and accessible blower and coil areas, then inspect every section for leaks, crushed runs, or separations. If we find a repair issue, we show you the photo and quote the fix before touching it.
5. 5
   Final walkthrough and documentation. You see before-and-after photos of your own ducts, we walk the property to confirm it is clean, and you get the written 365-Day Done Right Promise. If anything we touched fails within a year, we return at no charge.
