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.

Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Orangevale’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
We’ve built our reputation in Orangevale on showing up inside the window we quoted, pricing in writing before any work starts, and leaving the site clean. Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and trained to The Garrison Standard, which means no callbacks for missed debris and no invoices that jump at the door.
Homeowners in Orangevale’s 1970s ranch tracts and newer infill near the eastern edge tell us the same thing: they chose us because the last crew quoted one price over the phone and charged another once the van was in the driveway. That doesn’t happen here. The price is written down. It doesn’t move.
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 from our Sacramento office puts crews on Orangevale streets with the tools and documentation standards you’d expect from a company that has to answer for its work for a full year.
Our Air Duct Cleaning team carries the 365-Day Done Right Promise on every job. If the work fails within a year, we come back and make it right at no charge, including a free second visit. That’s written, not implied.
Residential Air Duct Cleaning in Orangevale
Residential Air Duct Cleaning in Orangevale means source removal from supply ducts, return ducts, and the air handler cabinet, using either rotary brush agitation or negative-air methods depending on your duct type and debris load. Most Orangevale homes we service run $350 – $650 for a single forced-air system, with larger properties or homes with multiple systems scaling from there. Because Orangevale sits in Sacramento County’s oak woodland belt, returns here pull in fine oak pollen, leaf litter, and dry-weather dust from homes backing onto the American River Parkway corridor, so we routinely pull gray smoke-ash residue off supply registers and return grilles after Sacramento Valley wildfire events – residue that is not typical of neighboring cities outside the oak/parkway belt.
Multi-System Homes and Per-System Pricing
Many Orangevale ranches and custom homes run two or three separate HVAC systems to cover long single-story footprints or second-story additions. We price per system, not per vent, because each system has its own air handler, return plenum, and duct network that needs full source removal. A single flat rate that hides the second or third system means corners get cut where you can’t see them.
Flex-Duct and Attic Run Specialists
Older Orangevale homes with original flex-duct runs in attics need careful handling. We use Rotobrush rotary systems and Nikro negative-air machines with HEPA filtration to agitate debris without tearing fragile duct liner, then verify with video inspection before we seal and close.
Commercial Air Duct Cleaning in Orangevale
Commercial Air Duct Cleaning in Orangevale covers office parks, retail spaces, medical clinics, and light industrial facilities from the commercial corridors near Greenback Lane to smaller professional buildings serving the community. Typical commercial jobs in Orangevale run $800 – $2,400 depending on system count, duct accessibility, and whether the building operates on a standard schedule or needs after-hours work to avoid disrupting business. We coordinate with property managers to hit windows that don’t interrupt operations, and we document every stage for compliance and maintenance records.
After-Hours and Phased Cleaning
Medical and professional offices near Orangevale’s main commercial strips often can’t shut down during business hours. We schedule phased cleaning by zone, running Nikro negative-air machines with contained exhaust so occupied spaces stay operational while we work the duct network.
Compliance Documentation
Commercial clients get written scope, before-and-after photos, and air-handler inspection reports. If your Orangevale facility needs documentation for insurance, lease compliance, or indoor air quality audits, we build that into the initial scope so nothing is reconstructed after the fact.
Trusted Brands We Service in Orangevale
Our equipment roster includes Rotobrush rotary brush systems for duct agitation, Nikro negative-air machines for contained debris removal, and filtration products from Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Guardsman. We don’t show up with hardware-store vacuums and duct tape. For Orangevale homes dealing with oak pollen loads and wildfire ash residue, the difference between consumer-grade and professional-grade extraction shows up in what stops blowing out of your registers next season. Parts and compatible filtration media are stocked for common Orangevale systems, so if your air handler needs a new media filter or seal work while we’re on site, we can often handle it without a return trip.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Orangevale Homes
- Gray ash dust post-wildfire. After Sacramento Valley wildfire smoke events, Orangevale homeowners swap their HVAC filter and assume the problem is solved. But fine ash settles inside return ducts and flex runs, then recirculates for months. Only source removal from the full duct network stops it.
- Rodent entry in attic flex ducts. The 1970s ranch homes off corridors like Hazel Avenue often have long flex-duct runs in attics with gaps at chase penetrations. Rodents pull in nesting material and leave debris that blows into living spaces. We find it with camera inspection, remove it with negative-air extraction, and seal the entry point.
- Oak pollen caked near air handlers. Homes backing the American River Parkway pull serious pollen loads through return grilles. It accumulates on the blower wheel and in the plenum, reducing airflow and forcing the system to work harder. Rotary brush cleaning at the air handler fixes it.
- Modern infill homes quoted like old ranches. Tighter duct systems on Orangevale’s eastern edge don’t need heavy debris removal, but they do need thorough particulate and allergen cleaning with proper filtration upgrades. A crew that skips camera inspection misses loaded supply ducts that look clean from the register.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Orangevale
Because most Orangevale homes with multiple HVAC systems have separate air handlers, return plenums, and duct networks for each zone, and each needs full source removal. A single flat rate that covers three systems means the crew rushes the second and third where you can’t see. We price per system so every network gets the full scope. Call (361) 326-5060 for an exact quote – estimates are free.
Gray ash from Sacramento Valley wildfire smoke settles inside return ducts and flex-duct runs, then recirculates for months after the fires end. A filter swap only catches what passes through the media; it doesn’t remove what’s already caked to duct walls. Source removal with negative-air extraction and rotary brush agitation is the only way to clear it. Call (361) 326-5060 for an exact quote – estimates are free.
We clean the full duct network, including attic flex runs, using camera inspection to verify condition and negative-air machines with HEPA filtration to extract debris without damaging fragile duct liner. The registers are just the endpoint; the debris lives in the runs between. Call (361) 326-5060 for an exact quote – estimates are free.
You should receive written scope, written price, before-and-after photos from the camera inspection, and a completion report noting any damage or recommended repairs. At Hollis, this documentation is standard on every job, not extra. If a crew won’t show you what they found inside your ducts, you don’t know what was actually done. Call (361) 326-5060 for an exact quote – estimates are free.
Yes. Older flex-duct runs need gentler agitation and more careful camera inspection to avoid tearing, while newer rigid ductwork can handle more aggressive rotary brush cleaning. We assess each section and adjust the method, pricing by system rather than mixing old and new into a single vague scope. Call (361) 326-5060 for an exact quote – estimates are free.
