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 Murrieta
Air duct cleaning in Murrieta typically runs $350 – $650 for a full residential system, with most jobs completed in a single morning or afternoon. We’re the local Air Duct Cleaning crew serving Murrieta from our Inland Empire office, and we know the subdivisions here inside and out. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate.
Murrieta’s master-planned neighborhoods, from Copper Canyon to Greer Ranch, were built fast during the 1980s through the 2000s. That speed left construction dust and drywall debris in ductwork that still circulates today. We’ve cleaned systems in homes off Clinton Keith Road, along Murrieta Hot Springs Road, and throughout the Mapleton area. The Santa Ana winds push wildfire ash and desert dust through those same ducts every summer and fall. Local expertise matters because flexible attic ductwork in Murrieta’s housing stock responds differently to cleaning than metal systems in older coastal homes.
Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Murrieta’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company

Air Duct Repair in Murrieta
Air Duct Repair in Murrieta addresses the cracked, disconnected, or collapsed flexible ductwork common in homes built during the city’s rapid expansion from the 1980s through the 2000s. Attic temperatures in Murrieta routinely exceed 140 degrees in summer, degrading duct seams and causing separations at trunk-line junctions. Typical repair runs $180 – $450 per section, depending on accessibility and whether the air handler needs resealing.
Disconnected Trunk Lines
We find separated duct connections in Murrieta attics where original builder-grade tape has dried and failed. Our crew reseals with mastic and mechanical fasteners, then verifies airflow balance at the registers. The price is written before any ladder goes up.
Collapsed Flexible Duct
Flexible ductwork in older Murrieta subdivisions can collapse under its own weight or from pest intrusion in the attic. We replace damaged runs with properly sized flex or rigid duct, insulated to current standards, and photograph the completed repair for your records.
Ductwork Cleaning in Murrieta
Ductwork Cleaning in Murrieta removes the construction debris, wildfire ash, and accumulated dust that standard filters never catch. A typical full-system cleaning runs $350 – $650, with larger homes or systems with multiple zones toward the upper end. We use rotary brush agitation combined with negative-air HEPA containment, not just vacuum suction.
Construction Debris Removal
In the Copper Canyon area, our tech pulled a Rotobrush through the supply and return ducts of a 2004-built two-story and found drywall dust and construction debris coating the air handler and blower motor. We set up negative pressure with HEPA filtration, ran agitation tools through the trunk lines, and cleaned the registers before the first big summer heat wave. The customer’s complaint of gritty dust on the furniture disappeared within a day.
Wildfire Smoke and Ash Cleanout
After major wildfire events in the nearby Santa Rosa and San Jacinto mountains, Murrieta technicians see a surge in calls for duct cleaning as ash and smoke infiltrate home HVAC systems, especially in the spring and fall. We inspect with video camera first, then clean registers, trunk lines, and the air handler as one system.
Trusted Brands We Service in Murrieta
We carry professional-grade equipment from Nikro, Honeywell, and Aprilaire, with filtration products from Abatement Technologies for jobs requiring enhanced containment. For Murrieta homeowners, this means no waiting on parts shipped from out of state.

We explain what each piece of equipment does and why we’re using it on your specific system, in plain terms, before the work starts.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Murrieta Homes
- Construction dust left from builder handover. Most Murrieta duct calls come from subdivisions built in the 1980s – 2000s where construction dust and drywall debris were left inside the supply and return ducts at handover, so new owners often need duct cleaning years before they expect. Because those same systems run near-continuously through long, dry Inland Empire summers, trapped construction grit gets pushed through the house every cooling cycle.
- Wildfire smoke infiltration after Santa Ana wind events. Murrieta’s location between mountain ranges and desert means ash and particulate enter attic vents and crawl spaces during fire season. Standard 1-inch filters cannot capture this load, and it settles in ductwork until disturbed by the next HVAC cycle.
- Flexible duct degradation in extreme attic heat. Murrieta’s 140-degree summer attic temperatures accelerate the breakdown of flexible duct liner, releasing fiberglass particles and reducing airflow. Cleaning reveals the extent of degradation and informs whether repair or replacement is the better path.
- Improper filter upgrades after initial cleanout. We regularly find homeowners who installed high-MERV filters after construction cleaning without verifying their system’s fan capacity, causing premature clogging and reduced airflow within weeks.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Murrieta
Most Murrieta subdivisions built from the 1980s through the 2000s left construction dust and drywall debris inside ducts at handover, and those particles circulate through your home every time the AC runs. The builder’s rough clean typically does not include duct agitation or air handler cleaning. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free inspection and written price.
Yes, we set up negative-air containment with HEPA filtration on every full-system cleaning, capturing dislodged debris before it enters your living space. Our Nikro negative-air machines and Abatement Technologies filtration are professional-grade equipment, not shop-vac adaptations. Call (361) 326-5060 to schedule.
After major wildfire events in the nearby Santa Rosa and San Jacinto mountains, ash and smoke particulate infiltrate attic vents and HVAC systems throughout Murrieta, especially during Santa Ana wind events in spring and fall. We see a surge in calls during these periods, and recommend video inspection to assess ash loading before cleaning. Call (361) 326-5060 after any significant smoke event.
Yes, we clean supply and return ducts as one system, including trunk lines in the attic, with rotary brush agitation and negative-air extraction. Murrieta’s flexible attic ductwork requires careful handling to avoid dislodging connections, which is why we inspect with video camera first. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate.
Most Murrieta homes with standard 1-inch filter slots perform best with MERV 8 – 11 after duct cleaning; higher ratings restrict airflow on older systems and cause premature clogging in dusty conditions. We verify your system’s fan capacity and recommend accordingly before leaving the job. Call (361) 326-5060 to discuss your specific setup.
