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.

AfterCarrier Air Duct Cleaning in Brooklyn, CA | Hollis Air Duct Cleaning
Carrier air duct cleaning in Brooklyn typically runs $450 – $900 for a full system, depending on the size of the home and how much debris has settled inside. We’re an independent Carrier service provider serving Brooklyn, NY, not a manufacturer affiliate, and we’ve cleaned Carrier systems across the borough for years. The work here is different because most Brooklyn ductwork is original galvanized steel from the 1920s and 1930s, often wrapped in asbestos tape and coated in decades of coal ash. Call (361) 326-5060 for a written estimate before any work starts.
Why Brooklyn Residents Choose Us for Carrier Service
Carrier builds good equipment, but the ductwork attached to it in Brooklyn is rarely what Carrier’s engineers pictured. We know where dust hides in pre-war walk-ups and brownstone conversions because we’ve been inside hundreds of them. Roy Castellanos, our owner, trained in the sheet metal and air conditioning program at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College and spent years doing hands-on duct work before starting Hollis. He’s the kind of person who would rather show you what came out of your ducts than hand you a bill you don’t understand.
We work on Carrier systems the way we’d want them worked on in our own homes. That means OEM Carrier parts for critical components like blower motors and control boards, and quality aftermarket equivalents for filters and belts where it doesn’t compromise the system. We’re local to Brooklyn, which means we know the buildings, the codes, and the shortcuts other crews take. We don’t take them.
Common Carrier Air Duct Cleaning Problems We Solve in Brooklyn
- Clogged evaporator coils from coal ash and urban dust. In pre-war Brooklyn buildings, Carrier evaporator coils frequently clog with decades of settled particulate. The result is reduced airflow, higher energy bills, and coils that freeze up in summer. We clean the coil and the ducts feeding it, then verify airflow before we leave.
- Failed blower motors in converted gravity systems. Carrier blower motors in brownstones that originally had gravity furnaces often fail early because debris from the old octopus ductwork keeps circulating through the fan. Cleaning the ducts properly before the motor burns out is a lot cheaper than replacing the motor after.
- Deteriorated flex duct connections in post-war apartments. Brooklyn’s humid summers take a toll on flex duct in 1950s and 1960s brick apartment buildings. Connections loosen, leaks form, and pressure imbalances make some rooms hot and others cold. We reseal and, where needed, replace those runs.
- Corroded condenser coils in coastal neighborhoods. In Coney Island and Sheepshead Bay, salt air corrodes Carrier condenser coils faster than inland. Dirty ducts compound the problem because the system runs longer cycles. We address the duct side thoroughly so the coil isn’t working against a restricted system.
- Asbestos-wrapped ductwork requiring containment. Many original galvanized steel ducts in Brooklyn are wrapped in asbestos tape. Cleaning those ducts without proper containment spreads contaminants through the home. We use HEPA vacuums and containment barriers as standard practice on those jobs.
Carrier Service in Brooklyn: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Brooklyn’s pre-war housing stock creates a problem most air duct cleaning companies never see. Many Carrier systems here were retrofitted into original galvanized steel ducts that had been painted over, patched, or wrapped in asbestos tape decades before the Carrier unit ever arrived. In neighborhoods like Park Slope and Brooklyn Heights, we regularly open up systems where the original octopus gravity furnace ductwork hasn’t been touched since the building went up in the 1920s. Technicians find layers of coal dust, sometimes mixed with asbestos tape, packed into the low points of the duct runs. Cleaning that correctly takes HEPA vacuums, containment barriers, and patience. It’s not a standard cleaning, and crews that treat it like one end up stirring contaminants through the house instead of removing them. That’s the single biggest reason Carrier owners in Brooklyn should choose a crew that understands what’s actually inside these buildings.
In Park Slope, we cleaned a Carrier Infinity system installed in a 1920s brownstone where the original octopus gravity furnace ductwork had never been cleaned. We found layers of coal dust mixed with asbestos tape, so we used HEPA vacuums and containment barriers to safely remove the debris, then sealed the ducts to prevent future leaks. The homeowner noticed better airflow and a significant reduction in dust within days.
Carrier Models & Products We Service in Brooklyn
We clean duct systems attached to every major Carrier line you’ll find in Brooklyn, from Carrier in Long Beach to local neighborhoods. The Infinity series shows up in high-end brownstone renovations, usually paired with variable-speed air handlers that push more air through older ducts than those ducts were ever designed to carry. The Performance series is common in post-war brick apartments, where the ducts are standardized but undersized and clog quickly with dust from poor filtration. The Comfort series appears in smaller brownstone conversions and garden apartments, often paired with 24ANB7 or 24ACC6 condensers. Whatever Carrier unit you have, we use OEM parts for critical components like blower motors and control boards, and stock common filters and belts locally so Brooklyn jobs don’t stall waiting on a truck from New Jersey.
Carrier Service Pricing in Brooklyn
Full system air duct cleaning for a Carrier-equipped Brooklyn home usually falls between $450 and $900. A small one-bedroom apartment runs on the lower end. A four-story brownstone with original galvanized ducts and asbestos tape runs higher because the containment work adds time. Evaporator coil cleaning typically adds $150 – $300 depending on access. Duct sealing runs $400 – $800 for a typical Brooklyn system. The price you’re quoted is the price you pay: we write it down before any work starts, and it does not move at the door.

FAQs – Carrier Air Duct Cleaning in Brooklyn
Every 3 to 5 years for most Brooklyn homes. Pre-war buildings with original ducts and coal ash buildup may need it more often, especially if you have pets, recent renovations, or a basement that floods. Post-war apartments with undersized ducts tend to accumulate debris faster. Call (361) 326-5060 and we’ll tell you honestly whether your system needs it now or can wait.
Yes, with containment. We use HEPA vacuums and containment barriers to prevent asbestos particles from entering living spaces during the cleaning. We do not disturb or remove asbestos wrap; we clean the interior of the duct and leave the exterior wrapping intact. If the wrap is deteriorating, we’ll tell you and recommend a licensed asbestos abatement contractor.
Frequently, yes. In Brooklyn pre-war buildings especially, coal ash and urban dust pack into original galvanized ducts and restrict airflow at the exact points where the system needs it most. Clogged Carrier evaporator coils compound the problem. We inspect the ducts, the coil, and the filter setup, then show you what we found before we clean anything. Call (361) 326-5060 for a diagnostic visit.
Yes. Post-war buildings from the 1950s through the 1970s are a big part of our Brooklyn work. Those systems have more standardized ducts, but they’re often undersized and accumulate debris quickly because the original filtration was minimal. We clean them thoroughly and seal leaks that cause pressure imbalances between units.
We access the coil, apply a professional-grade coil cleaner, and flush the coil to remove the film of coal ash, dust, and biofilm that restricts heat transfer and airflow. On Carrier systems in Brooklyn, this is often the single highest-impact service we perform, because those coils sit downstream of ducts that haven’t been cleaned in decades. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate that includes coil cleaning if your system needs it.
