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.

AfterFast, Reliable Air Duct Cleaning Across Arlington Heights
Air duct cleaning in Arlington Heights typically runs $350 – $650 for a whole-home system, and most jobs are scheduled within a few days of your call. If you’re noticing musty odors when the heat kicks on, uneven airflow between rooms, or dust that resets itself the day after you clean, your ductwork is likely circulating more than just air.
We’re familiar with the specific conditions out here in Snohomish County. Arlington Heights sits in unincorporated land northwest of Arlington proper, surrounded by forest and served largely by wells and septic systems. That rural character means homes deal with humidity, pollen, and organic debris in ways that urban systems simply don’t. Our crews dispatch from the Seattle office and cover Arlington Heights regularly, so we know the winding roads off 236th Street NE, the older developments near Lost Lake, and the newer builds closer to the Arlington city line. When you call (361) 326-5060, a live person answers, and we’ll get you a written estimate before any work begins.
Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Arlington Heights’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
Hollis has been part of the Garrison Partners family since 2004. In Arlington Heights, that longevity matters because we’ve worked on the same housing stock multiple times over the years, watching original ductwork age and helping homeowners decide when cleaning is enough and when replacement makes more sense.
Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and held to The Garrison Standard, which means arriving inside the quoted window, pricing in writing, and leaving the site clean. No surprises at the door, no estimate that balloons once we’re inside. Every job carries our 365-Day Done Right Promise: if the work fails within a year, we return 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. No voicemail loops, no callback queues, no waiting until Monday morning to schedule.
We also handle Dryer Vent Cleaning in Arlington Heights and Duct Sealing in Arlington Heights for homeowners who want the full system addressed in one visit.
Air Duct Cleaning Services in Arlington Heights
Air Duct Cleaning Services in Arlington Heights cover the complete removal of dust, debris, and biological buildup from your home’s forced-air system. A typical residential cleaning here runs $350 – $550 for a single-system home, with larger or more complex layouts reaching $650. Most Arlington Heights homeowners schedule this every 3 – 5 years, though homes with original 1980s or 1990s ductwork, pets, or nearby wooded lots often need it sooner.
Residential System Cleaning
We clean supply ducts, return ducts, and the main trunk lines using a Rotobrush rotary brush system that agitates debris off duct walls, followed by negative-air extraction with Nikro equipment to pull it out of your home entirely. For Arlington Heights homes with flexible ductwork, we adjust brush speed to avoid damage.
Video Inspection Before and After
Our Air Duct Cleaning team runs a camera through key sections so you see what we’re working with. After cleaning, we show you the same view. In Arlington Heights, we often find rodent droppings, insect casings, or moisture staining that homeowners didn’t know existed.

HVAC Duct Cleaning in Arlington Heights
HVAC Duct Cleaning in Arlington Heights addresses the entire heating and cooling distribution network, not just visible vents. Because this area runs heat for much of the year and deals with persistent outdoor humidity, ducts here are especially prone to condensation buildup and biological growth. A full HVAC duct cleaning in Arlington Heights typically costs $400 – $650 depending on system size, accessibility, and contamination level.
Supply and Return Line Cleaning
Supply lines push conditioned air into your rooms; return lines pull it back. Both accumulate debris, but returns near floors and in basements collect the most. In Arlington Heights homes with crawlspace gaps, we often find rodent trails in return trunks that require more than standard brushing.
Coil and Blower Cabinet Service
We clean the evaporator coil and blower assembly where your air handler sits. A dirty coil restricts airflow and can ice over in winter, which we see frequently in Arlington Heights’s long heating season. This step is included in our full-system cleaning, not sold as an add-on.
Trusted Brands We Service in Arlington Heights
Our equipment comes from Rotobrush, Nikro, and Abatement Technologies, the same names commercial crews rely on. For filtration upgrades, we stock Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Guardsman products. Because we dispatch from the Seattle office, parts and replacement filters for Arlington Heights customers don’t sit in a warehouse across the state. If your cleaning reveals a failing component, we can often source and install it without a second trip. Our technicians carry common fittings and adapters for the galvanized and early flexible ductwork still found throughout the 98223 area.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Arlington Heights Homes
- Moisture and biological growth in original ductwork. The 1980s and 1990s flexible duct common in Arlington Heights neighborhoods wasn’t built for decades of Pacific Northwest humidity. We find sagging sections holding condensation, which becomes a breeding ground for mold and mildew that circulates through every room.
- Rodent and insect contamination from crawlspace entry. Arlington Heights’s wooded lots attract mice and rats that find gaps in foundation vents and crawlspace doors. Their droppings, nesting material, and remains end up in return ducts, creating odor and health concerns that standard dusting won’t fix.
- Galvanized steel ducts corroding from the inside. Older Arlington Heights homes with original metal ductwork often show rust and scale where decades of moisture have eaten through the zinc coating. This restricts airflow and flakes off into the airstream.
- Pollen and organic debris from surrounding forest. Unlike more urban parts of Snohomish County, Arlington Heights sits amid dense evergreen and deciduous cover. Spring pollen and fall leaf mold enter through intake vents and accumulate in ducts, aggravating allergies even indoors.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Arlington Heights, WA
Whole-home air duct cleaning in Arlington Heights runs $350 – $650. A straightforward single-system home with accessible vents and standard contamination falls at the lower end. Homes with multiple HVAC zones, extensive rodent contamination requiring removal and sanitizing, or corroded ductwork needing repair push toward the higher end.
We do not quote per-vent pricing. That model invites bait-and-switch tactics, and we’ve heard from too many Arlington Heights homeowners who accepted a $99 coupon and ended up with a $900 invoice. Our price is one flat rate per system, agreed in writing before we start. You’ll know exactly what you’re paying before any equipment enters your home.
Estimates are free. Call (361) 326-5060 to schedule.
