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 Richardson, TX
Complete HVAC cleaning in Richardson typically runs $380-$680 for a whole-home system, with air quality and sanitizing treatments adding $180-$420 depending on the scope. Richardson’s concentration of 1960s-1980s homes with aging fiberglass ductboard and Blackland Prairie clay soil movement creates contamination patterns we don’t see in newer suburbs. We’re CleanRun Duct Repair & Cleaning, and our crews work Richardson from the Dallas-Fort Worth office. Call (469) 405-6133 for a written estimate before any work starts.
Why Richardson Homes Are Different
Richardson’s residential core was built during the Telecom Corridor boom of the 1960s through 1980s, leaving neighborhoods like Canyon Creek with original fiberglass ductboard systems now 40-60 years old. These systems don’t just collect dust; the interior liner degrades and sheds fibers directly into the airstream.
The Blackland Prairie expansive clay beneath Richardson’s slab-on-grade construction shifts seasonally, cracking duct boot connections and pulling unconditioned attic air, blown-in insulation particles, and pests into supply lines. We’ve found boots separated 1-2 inches from plenum collars in Canyon Creek attics, meaning cleaned ducts re-contaminate immediately if the seal isn’t inspected and repaired. Near-continuous AC operation from May through September, combined with humidity spikes, accelerates microbial growth inside these aging fibrous liners.
Our Main Richardson Services
Richardson homeowners call us most often for these three services, each with its own dedicated page:
Air Duct Cleaning in Richardson
We clean the full duct network in Richardson homes, from plenum to register, using negative-pressure extraction with Rotobrush and Nikro equipment. Every run is photographed before and after. In older Richardson neighborhoods, we inspect for ductboard delamination and boot separation caused by foundation movement before starting. Air Duct Cleaning in Richardson
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Richardson
We remove lint buildup from dryer vents through the full run to exterior termination, testing airflow before and after. Richardson’s long vent runs through slab-home walls are especially prone to blockage. Every job includes a written price upfront and photo documentation. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Richardson
Duct Repair & Sealing in Richardson
We repair separated boots, seal plenum connections, and replace degraded flex duct in Richardson’s aging systems. Blackland Clay movement makes this a recurring need in central and southern Richardson. Repairs include photo documentation and the 365-Day Done Right Promise. Duct Repair & Sealing in Richardson

BeforeAfterHVAC Cleaning in Richardson
Richardson’s near-continuous summer cooling cycles enormous air volumes through components that rarely get inspected. Evaporator coils in these systems often show 3-5 years of buildup from the combination of high airflow, humidity spikes, and degraded ductboard particles circulating through the system. HVAC Cleaning addresses what duct cleaning alone cannot reach.
Evaporator Coil Cleaning
Signs you need it
Ice formation on the coil, weak airflow from registers, or AC running constantly without reaching set temperature in Richardson’s July heat.
What it costs in Richardson
Evaporator coil cleaning in Richardson typically runs $180-$340.
How we do it
We access the coil through the plenum, apply foaming cleaner, rinse with low-pressure water, and photograph the before and after condition for the job record.
Blower Cleaning
Signs you need it
Vibration or noise from the air handler, uneven airflow room to room, or dust puffing from registers when the system cycles on.
What it costs in Richardson
Blower assembly cleaning in Richardson typically runs $140-$260.
How we do it
We remove the blower housing, clean the wheel and motor housing with compressed air and solvent, balance the assembly, and document with photos.
What HVAC Cleaning Costs in Richardson
| Item | Typical range in Richardson |
|---|---|
| Evaporator coil cleaning | $180-$340 |
| Blower assembly cleaning | $140-$260 |
| Full HVAC cleaning (coil + blower + housing) | $380-$680 |
How do I know my HVAC components are actually dirty?
We photograph every component before touching it; you see the buildup on the coil or blower wheel before we quote a price, and the clean condition after. The photo record is included on every visit under Haven Standard Clause 2.
Can HVAC cleaning fix my high summer electric bills in Richardson?
A dirty coil or blower can reduce system efficiency 15-30%, but we measure and photograph the actual restriction before quoting; call (469) 405-6133 for an inspection and written estimate.
Air Quality & Sanitizing in Richardson
Richardson’s humidity spikes and aging ductboard create conditions for microbial growth that standard cleaning doesn’t address. The fibrous interior of 1970s ductboard holds moisture longer than sheet metal, and we’ve documented active mold growth in Canyon Creek homes where condensation collects at plenum connections. Air Quality & Sanitizing treats the biological contamination that mechanical cleaning leaves behind.
Mold Treatment
Signs you need it
Musty odor when AC cycles on, visible growth at registers, or family members with worsening allergy symptoms in cooled rooms.
What it costs in Richardson
Whole-system mold treatment in Richardson typically runs $280-$520.
How we do it
We apply EPA-registered antimicrobial through the full duct network using fogging equipment, treat the plenum and coil pan, and verify with post-treatment photos.
UV Light Installation
Signs you need it
Recurring mold after cleaning, or a system in a dark, humid attic where Richardson’s summer humidity spikes create constant condensation.
What it costs in Richardson
UV-C light installation in Richardson typically runs $340-$580 per unit.
How we do it
We mount a Honeywell or Aprilaire UV lamp in the supply plenum, wire to the blower circuit for automatic operation, and show you the installed position in photos.
What Air Quality & Sanitizing Costs in Richardson
| Item | Typical range in Richardson |
|---|---|
| Mold treatment (whole system) | $280-$520 |
| UV light installation | $340-$580 |
| Combined sanitizing + UV package | $480-$820 |
Is the antimicrobial treatment safe for my family?
We use EPA-registered products rated for HVAC application, apply them with the system off and sealed, and ventilate before restart; the product label and SDS are available on request.
Will UV light actually prevent mold in my Richardson attic system?
UV-C at the coil and plenum kills airborne mold spores and suppresses growth on wet surfaces, but it doesn’t replace fixing water intrusion or separated boots pulling humid attic air; we inspect both before recommending UV.

- Suzanne B."The before and after photographs of each run are the reason I used them. You cannot argue with what came out of the return."
- Marguerite O."They found a disconnected duct in the crawl space that had been dumping conditioned air under the house for years. Photographed it, quoted the repair, fixed it."
