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.
Fast, Reliable Air Duct Cleaning Across Irving
Air duct cleaning in Irving typically runs $350 – $650 for a complete residential system, and our crews schedule most jobs within a few days of your call. If you’re seeing black dust settling on surfaces days after wiping them down, or your HVAC system runs constantly through Irving’s nine-month cooling season without moving air like it used to, the problem is usually in the ductwork itself. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate with a written price before any work starts.
We dispatch to Irving from our Dallas-Fort Worth office, and our technicians know the difference between a Las Colinas townhome with flexible ducting and a 1968 ranch in South Irving with original galvanized steel running beneath the slab. That local knowledge matters because the fix for black soot bonded to metal walls is not the same as the fix for a sagging flex duct trapping debris at a low point. We’ve been part of the Garrison Partners family since 2004, and every Hollis job in Irving arrives with the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing: if the work fails within a year, we come back and make it right at no charge.
Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Irving’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
Irving homeowners call us after they’ve watched another company’s “whole-house special” miss the actual problem. Our reputation here is built on showing what we found. Our Air Duct Cleaning team runs camera inspection before and after, and we show you the footage. In a market full of coupon-priced blow-and-go operations, that transparency is why customers in Valley Ranch and the older streets off Story Road refer us to neighbors.
Our response time to Irving is typically same-week scheduling, with dispatch coordinated from our DFW office. Technicians arrive uniformed, background-checked, and inside the quoted window. Calls are answered by a live person 24 hours a day, seven days a week. No voicemail loops. No callback queues.
The local knowledge that matters most: we know Irving’s housing stock. Galvanized ducts from the 1960s and 70s rust from the inside out. Slab-embedded runs get crushed by foundation shift. Homes under DFW flight paths collect jet exhaust soot that bonds to metal in a way pollen doesn’t. We don’t guess. We inspect, price it in writing, and fix what we find.
HVAC Duct Cleaning in Irving
HVAC Duct Cleaning in Irving means removing built-up contamination from the full network of supply and return ducts that move conditioned air through your home, then verifying the system is intact and sealed. In Irving’s climate, with systems running almost continuously from May through October, that network moves massive volumes of air past pollen, mold spores, dust, and the fine black soot that settles under DFW Airport flight paths. A proper clean here is not a vacuum pass at the registers. It’s source removal from the trunk lines, branch ducts, and plenum, with agitation tools that break loose what Irving’s year-round operation has baked onto the walls.
For a typical Irving home, complete HVAC duct cleaning runs $350 – $650 depending on system size, accessibility, and whether we find disconnected or crushed runs that need repair. Commercial systems in Las Colinas office buildings start around $800 and scale with square footage and zone count.
What We Find Beneath the Slab
Many South Irving ranches have ductwork embedded in the slab foundation. These runs get crushed by soil shift or were damaged during past construction. Contractors who skip camera inspection never see it. We run the camera first. If we find a crushed run, we price the repair in writing before we cut access.
Post-Clean Verification
After agitation and negative-air extraction, we re-run the camera and take static pressure readings. The homeowner sees the before, the after, and the numbers. No hand-waving. No “trust us, it’s clean.”
Vent Cleaning in Irving
Vent Cleaning in Irving targets the supply and return registers, grilles, and the short boot connections where visible dust collects and where airflow enters your living space. In Irving homes, these points often show the first evidence of deeper problems: black soot staining around ceiling returns in airport flight paths, or mold spotting on bathroom vents where humid attic air leaks through gaps behind the grille. Cleaning the vent surface alone is cosmetic. We remove each register, clean the boot and first few feet of duct, and inspect for disconnected collars or missing insulation that lets attic air bypass the filter entirely.
Standalone vent cleaning for surface-level work runs $150 – $250 in Irving. Most homeowners bundle it with full system cleaning because the real contamination is rarely visible from the room side.
Register Removal and Deep Boot Clean
We pull every register, clean the mounting surface, and vacuum the boot cavity where debris piles up. In older Irving homes, we often find painted-shut registers that previous owners never opened. We free them, clean them, and note any damage.
Leak Detection at the Vent Edge
Missing caulk or failed gaskets behind the register let unfiltered attic air stream into your supply air. We flag these gaps and can seal them with mastic during the same visit. The fix is usually $25 – $75 per register, priced before we start.
Trusted Brands We Service in Irving
Our equipment roster includes Rotobrush rotary brush systems for mechanical agitation, Nikro negative-air machines for controlled extraction, and filtration products from Honeywell and Aprilaire that we install when a home’s air handler needs better protection than the builder-grade filter provides. We stock common Honeywell and Aprilaire media locally for Irving customers, so replacement filters or upgraded cabinet installations don’t require a two-week order delay. For commercial jobs in Las Colinas, we bring Abatement Technologies HEPA filtration when the building’s occupancy can’t tolerate dust redistribution. Every tool is explained on site: what it does, why we chose it for your specific duct material, and what the result should look like on camera.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Irving Homes
- Black soot bonding from DFW jet exhaust. Homes under flight paths, especially in South Irving and near Story Road, develop a fine black residue that standard brush cleaning won’t remove. The soot embeds in rust pits on galvanized walls. Without agitation and HEPA-contained negative air, it re-deposits within weeks.
- Crushed or disconnected slab-embedded ducts. The 1960s-70s ranch homes across South Irving have supply runs beneath the foundation that shift, crush, or separate at joints. Camera inspection reveals what a register-side vacuum pass completely misses. Cleaning without repair just blows debris past the break.
- Sagging flexible ducting in newer construction. Las Colinas townhomes and high-rises often use flex duct that droops between supports, creating debris traps at low points. A straight-line vacuum never opens these sags. We cut access, verify airflow, and support the run properly.
- Pinhole leaks drawing in attic contamination. Original galvanized ductwork in older Irving homes rusts through from the inside, creating suction leaks that pull in insulation, rodent debris, and roach droppings. Sealing these leaks is often more important than the cleaning itself.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Irving, TX
A typical residential HVAC duct cleaning in Irving runs $350 – $650 for a complete system, with most single-family homes in the $400 – $500 range. Vent cleaning bundled with full system work adds $100 – $150. Commercial quotes for Las Colinas office spaces start at $800 and scale with zone count and access difficulty. What moves the price: system size (more ducts, more time), whether we find crushed or disconnected runs needing repair ($150 – $400 additional), and whether the home needs duct sealing with mastic to stop attic air infiltration ($200 – $500 depending on linear feet).
We do not quote per-vent pricing. That model invites bait-and-switch. We price per system, in writing, before any work starts. The number on the paper is the number at completion. Every estimate is free, and we run camera inspection as part of that estimate so you see what we see before you decide. Call (361) 326-5060 to schedule.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Irving
The black dust is fine soot from continuous jet exhaust operations, which settles into homes under flight paths and bonds to duct walls in a way ordinary household dust does not. In South Irving neighborhoods and along Story Road, we see this residue embedded in rust pits on original galvanized ductwork, and standard brush cleaning alone won’t remove it. We use agitation tools and HEPA-contained negative-air extraction to break the bond and capture the soot. Call (361) 326-5060 for a camera inspection if you’re seeing black film return within days of surface cleaning.
Expect original galvanized steel ductwork with internal rust, pinhole leaks that pull in attic debris, and slab-embedded runs that may be crushed or disconnected beneath the foundation. We were called to a 1972 ranch home off Story Road in South Irving where the homeowner described black dust settling on white blinds within days of cleaning. Camera inspection showed the original galvanized supply and return ducts had pinhole leaks pulling attic insulation and roach debris in, plus a crushed run under the slab foundation. We ran negative pressure with HEPA filtration, used agitation tools to break the soot bond, sealed the leaks, and reconnected the crushed run – the homeowner reported the soot film stopped returning within two weeks. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate with camera inspection.
Most Irving homes need complete duct cleaning every three to five years, but homes under DFW flight paths or with original galvanized ductwork often benefit from inspection every two years. The near-constant operation from May through October pulls in more particulate than seasonal-use systems in cooler climates, and the jet soot in flight path neighborhoods accelerates buildup. We recommend camera inspection to determine actual condition rather than calendar scheduling. Call (361) 326-5060 and we’ll show you what your ducts look like inside.
We clean both. Dryer vent cleaning is a separate service that removes lint buildup from the transition duct and exterior termination, and we bundle it with HVAC duct cleaning for homeowners who want both handled in one visit. Dryer vent cleaning in Irving typically runs $120 – $180 as a standalone service, or $75 – $100 when bundled with full system duct cleaning. The work includes airflow verification at the exterior cap. Call (361) 326-5060 to bundle both services.
A proper cleaning involves camera inspection, mechanical agitation of duct walls, negative-air extraction with HEPA filtration, and post-clean verification with camera and static pressure readings. In Irving, “proper” also means checking for the specific failure modes this market sees: jet soot bonding on galvanized metal, crushed slab-embedded runs in South Irving ranches, and sagging flex duct in Las Colinas. We price the full scope in writing before starting, and every job carries the 365-Day Done Right Promise. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate – we’ll show you the camera footage and the written price before you decide.
