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.

AfterFast, Reliable Air Duct Cleaning Across Dallas
Air duct cleaning in Dallas typically runs $350 – $650 for a complete residential system, with most jobs finished in a single visit. We’re Hollis Air Duct Cleaning, part of the Garrison Partners family, and we’ve been sending crews to Dallas homes since 2004 with one rule: the price is written down before any work starts, and it does not move at the door. Our dispatch and scheduling are coordinated from our Dallas-Fort Worth office, so when you call (361) 326-5060, you’re talking to someone who knows the difference between a 75214 bungalow and a 75024 tract home, not a call center three states away.
Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Dallas’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
In Dallas, we’ve built our reputation on showing up inside the window and leaving the site clean. That’s The Garrison Standard, and it’s how every independently owned Hollis location operates. Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed; you know who’s walking into your home before they arrive. Phones are answered by a live person 24 hours a day, 7 days a week – no voicemail loops, no callback queues, no waiting until Monday for a scheduling question.
Our 365-Day Done Right Promise covers every job in writing: if the work fails within a year, we come back and make it right at no charge, including a free second visit. That promise applies to every Dallas home we service, from Lakewood to Lake Highlands. We don’t compete on the lowest teaser price. We compete on discipline: written prices, written guarantees, and crews that arrive squared away and ready to work by the book.
Air Duct Repair in Dallas
Air Duct Repair in Dallas means fixing the physical failures that let attic air, insulation fibers, or unfiltered dust bypass your HVAC system entirely. In our market, this work is often the missing half of a proper cleaning job – because spinning a brush through a crushed flex run or a separated boot collar just moves debris around without solving why it got there. A typical air duct repair in Dallas runs $200 – $550 depending on accessibility and whether we’re reconnecting a single collar or replacing a damaged trunk section.
Crushed Flex Runs and Sagging Lines
Post-1990s Dallas suburbs – Plano, Frisco, McKinney – are full of flexible ductwork strung through attics that exceed 140°F for months each summer. The heat softens the flex, straps loosen, and runs crush against trusses or pool condensation that weakens the outer jacket. We re-strap with proper tension, replace crushed sections with new flex or hard pipe where appropriate, and photograph the damage so you see what was failing.
Boot Collars and Plenum Seals
The connection points at your air handler and supply plenum are where pressure is highest and seals fail first. In older East Dallas homes with galvanized trunks, we often find original collars rusted through or taped with failing cloth duct tape. We reconnect with mechanical fasteners and proper mastic sealant, then test static pressure to confirm the fix.
Ductwork Cleaning in Dallas
Ductwork Cleaning in Dallas is the complete source-removal process: agitating debris loose from duct walls, establishing negative pressure at the air handler to pull dislodged material out of the system, and filtering that exhaust through HEPA so nothing resettles in your home. A full residential ductwork cleaning in Dallas typically costs $350 – $650 for a single system, with multi-zone homes running higher based on actual trunk length and access. We quote one flat price per system, not per vent or per register, so a three-zone Plano home doesn’t balloon on the invoice after we’re already in the attic.
Negative-Air Method with Rotary Agitation
Our crews use Nikro negative-air machines and Rotobrush rotary brush systems – the same tools commercial crews use – to create controlled suction at the air handler while brushes knock debris free downstream. Without that negative pressure, dust from Dallas’s spring pollen and fall ragweed seasons just resettles deeper in the flex runs. We explain the setup in plain terms before we start, and we show you the filter load when we’re done.
Before-and-After Documentation
Every Hollis job includes photographs of your own ducts: the crushed flex run, the separated collar, the filter load at the vacuum. Not stock photos. Not a clean filter held up for show. Your system, your debris, your results. That’s how we prove the work happened, and it’s how you know whether the attic environment that caused the problem still needs attention.
Trusted Brands We Service in Dallas
We maintain professional-grade equipment from Nikro, Rotobrush, and Abatement Technologies, and we install filtration products from Honeywell and Aprilaire when a Dallas home needs upgraded protection against the pollen loads that blow through North Texas each spring. Our Dallas-Fort Worth office stocks common collars, flex sections, and mastic supplies, so most repairs don’t wait on parts orders. If your system uses a specific filtration brand or has an unusual plenum configuration, we’ll know before we dispatch because we ask when you call.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Dallas Homes
- Insulation fibers in pre-war East Dallas bungalows. Original galvanized ducts in neighborhoods like Lakewood and Swiss Avenue are often undersized for modern central air. The negative pressure pulls attic insulation fibers through seams and joints, distributing them through supply registers. Cleaning alone won’t fix this; we identify the pressure imbalance and seal or resize the affected runs.
- Crushed flex duct in Plano and Frisco attics. The 1990s-2000s construction boom used flexible duct runs in unconditioned attics that regularly exceed 140°F. Heat softens the outer jacket, straps sag, and runs flatten against trusses. A brush alone won’t restore airflow; we re-strap, replace crushed sections, and photograph the repair.
- Mold and condensate in humid summer conditions. Dallas’s humid subtropical climate means attics stay hot and muggy for months. Poorly insulated flex runs sweat, and standing water in drain pans breeds mold that spreads through the system. We flag active moisture issues during inspection and recommend solutions beyond cleaning.
- Oversized systems with leaky distribution. Newer suburban homes often have HVAC systems too large for the ductwork, creating high static pressure that blows apart flex connections and forces conditioned air into the attic. We measure static pressure and document collar separations so you have data for your HVAC contractor.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Dallas, TX
A typical residential air duct cleaning in Dallas runs $350 – $650 for a complete single-system job. Multi-zone homes in suburbs like Plano or Frisco, where three separate air handlers serve different floors, fall toward the higher end based on actual trunk length and access difficulty. Air duct repair – reconnecting collars, replacing crushed flex, sealing plenum leaks – typically adds $200 – $550.
What moves the price: the number of HVAC zones, whether the attic is walkable or truss-crawled, the condition of original versus flex ductwork, and whether we find separated boots or crushed runs that need repair before cleaning is worthwhile. We do not quote per-vent or per-register. One flat price per system, agreed in writing before we touch equipment. Call (361) 326-5060 for an exact quote – estimates are free, and we can often give you a firm range over the phone once you describe your home’s age, square footage, and any symptoms you’ve noticed.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Dallas
Most Dallas homes benefit from duct cleaning every 5 to 7 years, though homes with pets, recent renovations, or active mold issues may need it sooner. The combination of year-round HVAC use and heavy spring pollen and fall ragweed loads means debris accumulates faster here than in milder climates. Call (361) 326-5060 and we’ll tell you honestly whether your symptoms point to duct contamination or to a filter, humidity, or equipment issue instead.
Post-1990s tract homes in Plano and Frisco used flexible duct runs in unconditioned attics that exceed 140°F, and many were built with oversized HVAC systems that create pressure spikes. The flex softens, sags, and crushes; collars separate; and the system pulls dusty attic air into living spaces. Older East Dallas homes have their own problems – undersized galvanized ducts – but the failure mode is different and usually more predictable. We diagnose which pattern your home follows before we quote.
No. We can give you a firm price range over the phone based on your home’s age, square footage, number of HVAC zones, and any symptoms you’ve described. We bring a camera to every job and photograph what we find, but we don’t use the inspection to inflate the price after arrival. The flat price per system is the flat price per system. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate.
Cleaning removes the fibers already in the ducts, but if your galvanized runs are undersized and pulling negative pressure, new fibers will enter until the pressure imbalance is corrected. We identify the source during our inspection – often a return trunk that’s too small or a plenum leak – and quote the repair separately so you know exactly what stops the problem versus what just cleans up the symptom.
Cleaning removes visible mold growth and spore loads from duct surfaces, but it does not solve the moisture source that allowed mold to grow. In Dallas’s humid subtropical climate, that usually means a condensate drain issue, poorly insulated flex runs sweating in a hot attic, or an oversized system that short-cycles and fails to dehumidify. We flag active moisture problems during our inspection and tell you plainly whether cleaning alone is worthwhile or whether you need an HVAC contractor to address the root cause first. Call (361) 326-5060 to discuss your situation.
