Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Upland’s Preferred Duct Sealing Company

We’ve been in business since 2004 as part of the Garrison Partners family, and our Upland customers know what to expect: a uniformed, background-checked technician who arrives inside the quoted window, diagnoses the problem, and writes the price down before any work starts. That price doesn’t move at the door. Our 365-Day Done Right Promise covers every duct sealing job in writing – if the seal fails or airflow problems return within a year, we come back and make it right at no charge, including a free second visit. Phones are answered by a live person 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, so you’re not waiting through voicemail loops when you need to schedule around Upland’s workweek. We know the local housing stock: the 1920s bungalows off 2nd Avenue with original unlined metal ducts, the 1960s-70s tract homes on the east side with thin flex duct, and the multi-unit conversions where shared return plenums complicate what looks like a simple seal job.

Air Duct Sealing in Upland

Air Duct Sealing in Upland means closing the gaps, joints, and seams in your supply and return ductwork so the air your HVAC produces actually reaches the rooms you live in. In this foothill city, the job is complicated by what gets into those gaps: after fall Santa Ana wind events, fine gray ash and windborne desert dust infiltrate return ducts even in homes whose windows never opened, so sealing without first addressing contamination sources can trap grit that re-enters your living space every time the blower cycles.

Sealing Original Metal Ductwork

In Upland’s downtown bungalows, original unlined metal ducts were sized for gravity furnaces, not modern air handlers. Our techs seal these with mastic and mesh, closing joint gaps without reducing the already-limited airflow capacity. We inspect with Rotobrush camera systems first to map the runs and locate collapsed sections.

Ash Infiltration Pathways

Post-Santa Ana ash finds its way through soffit vents, attic penetrations, and poorly sealed return plenums. We trace these infiltration paths during sealing, addressing the entry points so the seal lasts through the next wind season.

Duct Sealing Services in Upland

Duct Sealing Services in Upland cover everything from spot-sealing disconnected flex runs to full-system mastic sealing of metal ductwork in older homes. Most Upland homeowners call us when they notice hot rooms in summer, cold rooms in winter, or dust accumulation that doesn’t match normal housekeeping. Our Duct Sealing team uses professional-grade equipment from Nikro and Abatement Technologies to pressurize, inspect, and seal systems according to the condition we find, not a one-size-fits-all protocol.

Multi-Unit and Shared Systems

Older Upland bungalows converted to apartments often share return plenums or dryer vent stacks. Sealing one unit’s duct run without accounting for adjacent units can starve airflow elsewhere. We map these shared systems before sealing.

Flex Duct Replacement vs. Sealing

On Upland’s east side, 1960s-70s flex duct with thin walls or rodent damage rarely holds a tape-only seal through Santa Ana season. We evaluate whether mastic and mesh reinforcement or full replacement is the honest call, and we price both options in writing.

Trusted Brands We Service in Upland

Our crews carry professional-grade equipment from Nikro, Honeywell, and Aprilaire – the same negative-air machines, rotary brush systems, and filtration components that commercial crews use in larger Inland Empire facilities. For Upland customers, this means we don’t wait on parts shipped from out of state. We stock mastic, mesh reinforcement, and replacement flex duct sized for the residential systems common in this market, so most sealing jobs are completed in a single scheduled visit without return trips for materials. When we recommend a Honeywell or Aprilaire filtration upgrade alongside sealing, it’s because we’ve measured the particulate load in your specific ductwork and matched the solution to the condition.

Common Duct Sealing Problems We See in Upland Homes

• Ash-loaded unlined metal ducts near downtown. Sealing over fine gray grit without source removal first traps particles that recontaminate the system when the blower cycles. We agitate and extract ash with Rotobrush tools before applying mastic.
• Shared return plenums in converted bungalows. Sealing one rental unit’s supply run can inadvertently restrict return airflow to adjacent units. We pressure-test the full shared system before isolating any single run.
• Tape-only repairs on 1970s flex duct. On Upland’s east side, thin-walled flex with rodent damage or UV degradation won’t hold through Santa Ana wind season. Tape lifts; mastic and mesh or replacement holds.
• Collapsed flex runs in attic heat. Upland’s summer attic temperatures degrade older flex duct, causing sags and separations at joints. We locate these collapses with camera inspection before sealing what remains intact.
