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 McKinney
Air duct cleaning in McKinney typically runs $350 – $650 for a full residential system, with most jobs completed in a single visit.

We’ve been cleaning ducts in Collin County since 2004, and McKinney’s housing stock keeps us sharp. No two jobs here are the same. The 1880s Victorian off Louisiana Street needs hand-cleaning and sealing; the 2023 build in Trinity Falls needs construction debris source-removed before the first summer of AC running 14 hours a day. Our Air Duct Cleaning team arrives in uniform, background-checked, and with the right equipment for whichever McKinney home we’re walking into.
Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is McKinney’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
McKinney homeowners call us back because we price in writing and stand behind the work. The 365-Day Done Right Promise means if a seal fails or a register starts blowing dust again within a year, we return at no charge. That includes a free second visit, not a negotiation.
Our 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 to schedule. Dispatch is coordinated from our Dallas-Fort Worth office, and crews carry Rotobrush rotary systems and Nikro negative-air machines to McKinney addresses daily.
Technicians follow The Garrison Code on every job: arrive inside the quoted window, price in writing before touching equipment, complete the work by the book, and leave the site clean. Background-checked and uniformed, they walk in accountable.
We’ve earned a strong local reputation in McKinney by treating the historic downtown district and the west-side new builds with equal care, but different methods. The tools that work in Eldorado would damage a century-old bungalow. We know which is which before we unload the van.
Air Duct Cleaning Services in McKinney
Air Duct Cleaning Services in McKinney cover the full removal of dust, debris, and contaminants from your supply and return ductwork, followed by sealing any leaks found during the process. A typical residential cleaning in McKinney runs $350 – $550 for a single system, with larger homes or systems with heavy contamination reaching $650. We use the Rotobrush rotary brush system on standard modern ductwork and switch to hand-cleaning for the thin galvanized metal found in McKinney’s historic homes.
Supply Duct Cleaning
Supply ducts push conditioned air into your rooms. In McKinney’s 1990s-era homes, we often find these runs clogged with pest debris where squirrels chewed through attic flex insulation. We remove the contaminated material, clean the hard pipe beneath, and replace the damaged flex with new insulated runs.
Return Duct Cleaning
Return ducts pull air back to the handler. During McKinney’s spring pollen season, these runs work overtime and can cake with particulates. Our negative-air method captures loosened debris with HEPA filtration so nothing resets in your living space.

HVAC Duct Cleaning in McKinney
HVAC Duct Cleaning in McKinney addresses the entire connected system: blower, evaporator coil, plenum, trunk lines, and branch ducts. Because McKinney’s summers run long and hot, the AC here operates near year-round load. Any dust buildup on the coil or leaks in the trunk lines directly inflates your energy bill. A full HVAC duct cleaning in McKinney typically costs $450 – $650 and includes video inspection so you see the before and after.
Video Inspection
We drop a camera into the ducts before and after cleaning. In Downtown McKinney’s historic homes, this often reveals disconnected joints under pier-and-beam floors that have been pulling humid crawlspace air into the system for decades. You see it. We explain it. Then we fix it.
Full System Cleaning
The complete job: rotary or hand-cleaning of all ducts, coil and blower cabinet service, plenum cleaning, and mastic sealing of leaks found during inspection. For McKinney’s new construction in Trinity Falls, this includes source-removal of drywall dust and construction debris that builders left behind.
Trusted Brands We Service in McKinney
Our vans stock filtration and sealing products from Aprilaire, Abatement Technologies, and Guardsman, plus professional-grade cleaning equipment from Rotobrush and Nikro. McKinney homeowners with Honeywell media filters or Aprilaire whole-house systems get same-visit service without waiting on parts orders. We carry the common sizes and configurations used in Stonebridge Ranch and Eldorado homes built during the 1990s and 2000s, plus the mastic and metal tape needed to seal original galvanized ducts in the historic district. If your system uses a less common setup, we’ll tell you before we schedule and source what we need.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in McKinney Homes
- Crushed or perforated original galvanized ducts in Downtown McKinney bungalows. Rotary brushes designed for modern flex duct will crush the thin metal in these century-old systems. Our techs hand-clean and seal with mastic instead.
- Pest-chewed flex insulation in Stonebridge Ranch attics. Squirrels and raccoons tear through the soft duct wrap, and homeowners wipe the registers thinking it’s ordinary dust. We find the damaged runs and replace them.
- Drywall dust and construction debris in Trinity Falls new builds. Builders rarely source-remove this material. It circulates through the supply ducts until a proper cleaning pulls it out at the source.
- Disconnected joints under pier-and-beam historic homes. Decades of vibration and humidity separate the round metal runs, pulling crawlspace air and dust directly into the system. Video inspection finds them; hand access and sealing fixes them.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in McKinney, TX
A typical residential air duct cleaning in McKinney runs $350 – $550 for a single HVAC system. Larger homes, heavier contamination, or systems requiring hand-cleaning of historic galvanized ductwork reach $650. Commercial duct cleaning starts higher based on square footage and access.
What moves the price: the number of supply and return vents, whether the system needs rotary brush or hand-cleaning, if we find pest damage requiring flex replacement, and whether the job includes coil and blower service. We give one flat price per system, agreed in writing before work starts. No per-vent add-ons. No price jump at the door.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in McKinney
The original round galvanized ducts under your pier-and-beam floor are thin metal that rotary brushes can crush or perforate. We hand-clean these systems and seal with mastic, which takes longer but preserves the ductwork. New builds in Trinity Falls have modern flex duct that handles rotary brushing, but they also have construction debris that needs source-removal. Call (361) 326-5060 and we’ll specify the right method for your McKinney home.
It’s likely pest debris from squirrels or raccoons chewing through your attic flex duct insulation. The material falls into the supply runs and blows out whenever the handler kicks on. Ordinary duct cleaning won’t fix it because the damaged flex keeps generating new debris. We replace the chewed sections and clean the hard pipe beneath. Call (361) 326-5060 for an inspection.
New construction is often the worst time for duct contamination. Builders rarely clean the system before closing, and drywall dust, wood scraps, and insulation scraps get pushed through the supply and return ducts during the first months of operation. A source-removal cleaning now prevents that debris from circulating through your family’s air for years. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate.
We use the Nikro negative-air method with HEPA filtration on every job. The machine creates suction at one end while the rotary brush or hand tools loosen debris at the other. Nothing escapes into your living space. This is the same approach commercial crews use in hospitals and schools, and it’s standard on every Hollis job in McKinney.
Yes, especially if your system uses a standard 1-inch fiberglass filter. McKinney’s spring storms pull pollen and outdoor particulates into return ducts, and a basic filter recirculates much of it. We stock Aprilaire and Honeywell media filters that capture smaller particles without choking airflow. We can assess your current setup during the cleaning and recommend an upgrade if it makes sense for your system. Call (361) 326-5060 to schedule.
A homeowner on the historic blocks off Louisiana Street near Downtown McKinney called about dust puffing from the registers every time the air handler kicked on; our tech dropped a camera into the original round galvanized runs under the pier-and-beam floor and found decades of caked dust plus three disconnected joints that had been blowing attic air into the supply and return ducts. We hand-cleaned what a rotary brush would have damaged, sealed the open joints, and wrapped the bare metal, so the system finally held pressure instead of pulling dust and humidity up from the crawlspace.
McKinney’s duct cleaning market is split in two: 1990s Stonebridge Ranch and Eldorado homes whose attic flex duct insulation gets chewed open by squirrels and raccoons, and 1880s – 1920s pier-and-beam homes near Downtown McKinney whose original round galvanized ducts have to be hand-cleaned because rotary brushes can crush or perforate them. No other city in Collin County has this exact split, and no other duct cleaning page separates the two jobs the way we do. We bring different tools, different techniques, and different pricing clarity to each.
