Austin’s housing stock tells two stories: the 1920s – 1950s pier-and-beam bungalows of central neighborhoods where ductwork was retrofitted decades after construction, and the explosive new growth in Cedar Park, Pflugerville, and Round Rock where flex-duct systems bake in 130°F attics and arrive pre-loaded with construction debris. Both need cleaning. Both often need something more.

Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Austin’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company

We’ve been in business since 2004 under the Garrison Partners family, and our Austin operation runs on The Garrison Standard: arrive inside the quoted window, price in writing, complete the job by the book, leave the site clean. That standard exists because we’ve seen what happens when it doesn’t. Homeowners call us after crews from coupon outfits showed up late, added charges at the door, or vacuumed the registers and called it done.

Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed. You know who’s walking into your home before they arrive. Every job carries our 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing: if the work fails within a year, we return and make it right at no charge, including a free second visit. No negotiation, no runaround.

We answer calls live, 24/7. No voicemail loops, no callback queues, no waiting until Monday to schedule. In a city where the AC runs nine months a year, that matters.

Residential Air Duct Cleaning in Austin

Residential Air Duct Cleaning in Austin means source removal of accumulated debris from your supply and return ductwork, followed by video inspection to verify the trunk is clear. A typical full-system residential clean in Austin runs $350 – $650, with older central-Austin homes sometimes requiring additional sealing or reconnection work that adds $150 – $400 depending on what we find in the crawlspace or attic.

We recommend residential cleaning when dust reappears on surfaces within days of cleaning your home, when rooms don’t hold consistent temperature, or when allergy symptoms spike during cedar season and the filter change didn’t help. In Austin’s climate, with AC running nearly year-round, ducts don’t get a natural off-season to settle.

What Source Removal Actually Means

Source removal is the NADCA standard, not a marketing term. We use a Rotobrush rotary brush system to agitate debris off duct walls, combined with negative-air machines from Nikro that pull dislodged material through HEPA filtration so it exits your house entirely. “Vacuuming the ducts” without agitation and negative pressure just moves the load around. We show you the before-and-after video so you know what left your system.

The Sealing Work That Often Follows

In Travis Heights, Rosedale, and Cherrywood, we regularly find disconnected runs in pier-and-beam crawlspaces that have been dumping conditioned air under the house for years. Cleaning the trunk helps, but reconnecting the severed run and sealing the plenum with mastic is what stops the dust and fixes the temperature imbalance. We price that work in writing before we start, same as the cleaning itself.

Commercial Air Duct Cleaning in Austin

Commercial Air Duct Cleaning in Austin serves office buildings, retail spaces, medical clinics, and multi-family properties where code compliance, tenant comfort, and system efficiency intersect. Commercial jobs typically run $800 – $2,400 depending on system size, access difficulty, and whether the building requires after-hours work to avoid disrupting operations.

Austin’s commercial stock ranges from converted 1960s office blocks downtown to new medical office construction in the Domain and Mueller development. Older buildings often have galvanized steel ductwork with decades of accumulation; new builds frequently show construction debris in returns that were open during drywall installation. Both scenarios affect indoor air quality and HVAC load calculations.

Coordinating Around Your Operations

We schedule commercial work to minimize disruption, including evenings and weekends where the building allows. Our crew arrives uniformed, works from written scope, and provides documentation of completion for property managers and facility directors. The same 365-Day Done Right Promise applies: if our cleaning or any associated sealing work fails within a year, we return at no charge.

Video Documentation for Compliance

Many Austin commercial clients need visual proof of completion for insurance, lease agreements, or regulatory files. We provide video inspection footage showing condition before and after source removal, archived and available on request. No hand-waving, no verbal assurances, just the record of what was in your ducts and what we removed.

Trusted Brands We Service in Austin

Our equipment roster includes Rotobrush rotary brush systems and Nikro negative-air machines for source removal, plus filtration products from Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Guardsman. We don’t use hardware-store gear. These are the same tools commercial crews deploy in hospitals and schools, maintained on schedule and operated by technicians trained on their specific calibration. For Austin homeowners, that means the job gets done to a standard that shows in the video inspection, not just promised in the sales pitch.

Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Austin Homes

• Disconnected retrofit runs in central-Austin crawlspaces. In Hyde Park and Cherrywood bungalows, flex duct installed during 1980s – 1990s AC retrofits has separated at the plenum or been crushed by later plumbing work, blowing cooled air straight under the house. The symptom is a room that never holds temperature and dust that returns within days of any surface cleaning.
• Pollen loading in leaky return chases. Austin’s cedar fever and oak pollen seasons pour allergen-heavy air into unsealed return ductwork in older homes. The trunk fills with a gritty, pollen-laden mat that standard filters never touch because the leak is upstream of the filter bank.
• Construction debris in new-build flex duct. Round Rock and Cedar Park homes built since 2020 often have flex runs stuffed with drywall dust, wood chips, and fastener debris from crews who left returns open during construction. The HVAC contractor’s startup clean rarely addresses the full distribution system.
• Degraded attic flex in Westlake and Bee Cave. Long, undersized flex-duct runs in unconditioned attics sweat through brutal summer heat, degrading the inner liner and pulling caliche dust through gaps. Cleaning without replacing or properly supporting the run just resets the clock until the next grit load builds.
