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.

Air duct cleaning in Santa Fe typically runs $350 – $650 for a whole-home system, and most jobs are scheduled within a few days of your call. We’re the Air Duct Cleaning crew that serves Santa Fe from our Houston dispatch office, with technicians who know the difference between a slab-built home in Santa Fe Ranch and a pier-and-beam mobile home off Highway 6. If your vents are pushing less air than they used to, or you smell something musty when the AC cycles on, call (361) 326-5060. We’ll give you a written price before any work starts, and every job carries our 365-Day Done Right Promise.
Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Santa Fe’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
We’ve been in business since 2004 as part of the Garrison Partners family, and our technicians have worked in enough Santa Fe homes to know what to expect before they walk through the door. In the older mobile home parks along Highway 6 and in neighborhoods like Bella Vista, we regularly find flexible duct runs that have sagged, torn, or disconnected entirely – problems that don’t show up the same way in newer stick-built subdivisions.
Our phones are answered by a live person 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. No voicemail loops, no callback queues. When you schedule in Santa Fe, we give you a window and we arrive inside it. Every technician is background-checked and uniformed, and the price is written down before any equipment gets unpacked. If something fails within a year, we come back and make it right at no charge. That’s the 365-Day Done Right Promise, and it’s on every job.
Ductwork Cleaning in Santa Fe
Ductwork Cleaning in Santa Fe is not the same job from house to house. In a newer subdivision like Santa Fe Ranch, we’re often dealing with construction dust and standard accumulation. But in the older manufactured homes that make up a large share of Santa Fe’s housing stock, we’re frequently pulling out decades of compacted dust, degraded insulation fibers, and – after heavy rains or hurricanes – flood silt that has worked its way into flexible ducts running under the home.
The process starts with a video inspection so you can see what we’re dealing with. We use a Rotobrush rotary brush system to agitate debris off the duct walls, coupled with negative-air machines from Nikro that pull the loosened material out of your system rather than pushing it deeper. For a typical Santa Fe home, Ductwork Cleaning runs $350 – $550 for a full system. Homes with extensive contamination, multiple disconnected runs, or rodent intrusion may run toward $650.
Source Removal for Storm-Damaged Systems
After hurricane season, we get calls from Santa Fe homeowners whose ducts have taken in water or wind-driven debris. Source removal means we don’t just vacuum near the vents; we clean the full length of every supply and return run, including the plenum and air handler cabinet, so mold doesn’t have a food source sitting in your system.
Reconnection and Sealing of Disconnected Runs
Cleaning doesn’t help if the duct is disconnected from the air handler. In Santa Fe’s pier-and-beam homes, we often find flexible ducts that have pulled loose at the collar. We reconnect with mechanical fasteners and seal with mastic, not tape that will fail again.
Air Duct Inspection in Santa Fe
Air Duct Inspection in Santa Fe should happen before you pay for any cleaning, and it’s especially important if your home is more than 20 years old or sits on pier-and-beam construction. Our camera inspection lets us show you exactly what’s inside your ducts: accumulation levels, disconnected runs, tears in flexible duct, moisture intrusion, or rodent damage. An inspection takes about 45 minutes and costs $150 – $250 in the Santa Fe market. If you move forward with cleaning, we apply that inspection fee toward the work.
We recommend an Air Duct Inspection if you’ve noticed uneven temperatures between rooms, reduced airflow from vents, musty odors when the system runs, or if your energy bills have climbed without explanation. In Santa Fe’s coastal climate, humidity gets into duct systems through foundation vents and unsealed penetrations, and once moisture combines with dust, you’ve got a mold risk that cleaning alone won’t solve.
Video Documentation for Insurance Claims
If your Santa Fe home took storm damage and you’re filing an insurance claim, our video inspection provides dated documentation of what was in your ducts before we started. We’ve had customers in Dickinson and La Marque use our footage to support mold remediation claims.
Static Pressure Testing
We measure static pressure before and after any cleaning or repair. In a properly functioning system, this number tells us whether air is moving through the ducts or escaping through tears and disconnections. In Santa Fe’s older mobile homes, we often see static pressure readings that are half what they should be – a clear sign that conditioned air is dumping into the crawlspace instead of reaching your rooms.
Trusted Brands We Service in Santa Fe
We run professional-grade equipment, not hardware-store gear. Our rotary brush systems come from Rotobrush, our negative-air machines from Nikro, and our filtration and sealing products from Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Abatement Technologies. These are the same brands commercial crews use in hospitals and schools. For Santa Fe homeowners, that means we can source replacement parts and filtration media without long wait times, and our technicians are trained on equipment that actually pulls debris out rather than just stirring it around. If your system needs a Honeywell media filter upgrade or an Aprilaire whole-home purifier after cleaning, we stock those locally and can install same-day in most cases.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Santa Fe Homes
- Collapsed flexible duct under pier-and-beam homes. In Santa Fe’s older mobile home parks, flexible duct runs are suspended in the crawlspace and sag over time. Eventually they tear or disconnect at the collar, pulling hot, humid crawlspace air into your system instead of conditioned air from the handler.
- Flood silt accumulation after heavy rains. Santa Fe sits on coastal prairie that floods regularly. When water rises under a home, silt gets into ductwork through tears and seams. That silt compresses insulation and blocks airflow, and the remaining moisture feeds mold growth in Gulf humidity.
- Degraded insulation fibers in 1980s – 2000s manufactured homes. Original duct insulation in these homes breaks down into loose fibers that get pulled through the system and blown into living spaces. We find this material coating blower wheels and clogging evaporator coils, reducing efficiency and spreading particles.
- Construction dust in newer Santa Fe Ranch subdivisions. Ongoing development in Santa Fe means fine drywall dust and particulate from grading work gets into HVAC systems in new and recently built homes. This dust is abrasive and accumulates fast if the builder didn’t properly seal ducts during construction.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Santa Fe, TX
Whole-home air duct cleaning in Santa Fe typically costs $350 – $650, depending on system size, contamination level, and whether we find disconnected or damaged ductwork that needs repair. A standard single-system home with 12 – 20 vents and no major damage usually falls in the $350 – $450 range. Homes with multiple HVAC systems, extensive rodent damage, or post-storm silt intrusion may run higher. We charge one flat price per system, agreed in writing before any work starts. No per-vent pricing, no add-ons at the door. You’ll get before-and-after photos of your own ducts, and if anything fails within a year, we come back at no charge under our 365-Day Done Right Promise.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Santa Fe
Yes. We clean flexible ductwork in pier-and-beam and mobile homes throughout Santa Fe, including the parks along Highway 6 and neighborhoods like Bella Vista. Our rotary brush system and negative-air machines are designed for this type of ductwork, and we inspect for tears, disconnections, and silt intrusion while we’re under there. Call (361) 326-5060 and we’ll give you a written quote before we start.
Schedule an inspection as soon as the water recedes and your power is restored. Floodwater and wind-driven debris introduce silt and organic material into ductwork, and Santa Fe’s humidity accelerates mold growth once that material is inside. We offer video inspection to document storm damage, and if cleaning is needed, we can usually schedule within a few days. Call (361) 326-5060 to get on the list.
Yes, regularly. The flexible duct runs in 1980s – 2000s manufactured homes were installed with support straps that degrade over time, causing the duct to sag and pull loose at the collar. We find disconnected runs in roughly half the older mobile homes we inspect in Santa Fe. Reconnection and sealing with mastic is part of our standard repair scope when we find it.
Duct cleaning removes debris that’s already inside your system. Duct sealing closes gaps, tears, and disconnected joints so conditioned air reaches your rooms instead of leaking into the crawlspace or attic. In Santa Fe’s pier-and-beam homes, you often need both: cleaning to remove accumulated silt and degraded insulation, then sealing to prevent the same problems from recurring. We inspect first and tell you exactly what your system needs before we quote.
Yes. New construction and ongoing development in areas like Santa Fe Ranch generate fine particulate that gets pulled into HVAC systems, especially if the builder didn’t properly seal ductwork during construction. We remove that dust with source-removal methods and can recommend filtration upgrades if your system is pulling in ongoing dust from nearby grading work. Call (361) 326-5060 for an inspection and written estimate.
