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 Banning
Air duct cleaning in Banning typically runs $350 – $650 for a full residential system, and most jobs are scheduled within a few days of your call. If you’re tired of gritty dust resettling on furniture every time your HVAC kicks on, the problem usually isn’t your filter – it’s decades of accumulated sand, pollen, and debris inside your ductwork, often made worse by leaky joints that pull in fresh contamination from the attic or crawl space.
We serve Banning from our Inland Empire office, with crews that know the local housing stock and the specific problems the San Gorgonio Pass wind corridor creates for duct systems here. Whether you’re in a mid-century tract home near Banning Heights or a newer stucco build on the east side, we show up in the quoted window, price the job in writing before we touch anything, and back it with our 365-Day Done Right Promise. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate.
Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Banning’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
We’ve been in business since 2004 as part of the Garrison Partners family, and our Air Duct Cleaning team has worked enough Banning homes to know what the wind here does to ductwork that inland cities don’t experience at the same intensity. Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and trained to The Garrison Standard: arrive inside the window, price in writing, complete the job by the book, and leave the site clean.
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 with Hollis, you get a written price before any work starts, and that number does not move at the door. If the work fails within a year, we return and make it right at no charge, including a free second visit. That’s the 365-Day Done Right Promise, and it’s on every job.
Commercial Air Duct Cleaning in Banning
Commercial Air Duct Cleaning in Banning covers office buildings, retail spaces, medical clinics, and multi-unit properties where accumulated particulate affects employee health, equipment efficiency, and compliance with California indoor air standards. A typical commercial system in Banning runs $800 – $2,500 depending on square footage, duct complexity, and whether video inspection reveals disconnected runs or sealing needs. We use Rotobrush rotary brush systems and Nikro negative-air machines with HEPA filtration, the same equipment commercial crews rely on, and we schedule around your business hours to minimize disruption.
System Assessment and Documentation
Every commercial job starts with a written scope and price. We inspect access points, photograph pre-condition duct interiors, and note any crushed or disconnected runs before work begins. This documentation protects your maintenance records and gives you before-and-after proof the work was performed.
Scheduled Maintenance Programs
Banning’s persistent wind and dry climate mean commercial systems load up faster than in coastal cities. We offer scheduled maintenance plans with set intervals, written pricing, and priority scheduling so your facility stays ahead of accumulation rather than reacting to complaints.
Air Duct Cleaning Services in Banning
Air Duct Cleaning Services in Banning address the specific contamination profile this city’s geography creates. Our residential jobs typically range from $350 for a basic supply-and-return cleaning on a smaller home to $650 for a full system with video inspection, agitation cleaning under negative pressure, and sealing of accessible leaks. Older homes in Sun Lakes and Banning Heights often need additional sealing work, which we price separately and in writing before starting.
Video Inspection and Source Removal
We run a camera through your ductwork before and after cleaning. This isn’t a gimmick – it’s how we find crushed runs behind kitchen remodels, disconnected joints near blower motors, and sand-packed return grilles that vacuum pressure alone won’t clear. Our source removal process uses mechanical agitation with rotary brushes under controlled negative air pressure, so debris is captured at the point of disturbance rather than pushed deeper into the system.
Duct Sealing and Leak Repair
Cleaning without sealing is often temporary in Banning. The next Santa Ana wind event pulls fresh attic sand through the same leaky joints. We seal accessible ductwork with mastic and mechanical fasteners per NADCA standards, and we show you the before-and-after camera footage so you understand what was fixed and why.

Trusted Brands We Service in Banning
Our equipment roster includes Rotobrush rotary brush systems for mechanical agitation, Nikro negative-air machines for controlled debris extraction, and filtration products from Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Guardsman. We don’t use hardware-store vacuums with duct-tape attachments. For Banning homeowners, this means the same tools commercial crews deploy, maintained to manufacturer specs, with replacement parts stocked locally so we’re not waiting on shipping if your system needs a component swap during service.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Banning Homes
- Wind-driven sand packed into return grilles. After major Santa Ana events, we find tumbleweed debris and fine sand lodged in outdoor returns on the west side of Banning, sometimes penetrating deep into duct runs. Vacuum-only cleaning without agitation leaves abrasive grit behind that continues damaging blower motors.
- Disconnected joints in original sheet-metal ductwork. Mid-century homes in Banning Heights often have duct runs that were never properly reconnected after remodeling. We find joints pulling attic air straight into living spaces, which explains why some homeowners see dust return within days of “cleaning” by less thorough outfits.
- Crushed flex duct behind renovations. Newer east-side subdivisions use flexible ducting that installers sometimes crush against framing during construction or subsequent remodeling. Restricted airflow strains the HVAC system and creates dead zones where debris accumulates.
- Leaky joints that re-contaminate after cleaning. In Banning’s low-humidity, high-wind environment, unsealed ductwork doesn’t stay clean long. We see this most often in Sun Lakes homes where original mastic has dried and cracked, creating pathways for attic sand to re-enter freshly cleaned systems.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Banning, CA
A typical residential air duct cleaning in Banning runs $350 – $650 for a complete supply-and-return system with HEPA-contained negative-air extraction. Video inspection adds $75 – $150. Duct sealing for accessible leaks in older homes ranges from $200 – $400 depending on linear footage and access difficulty. Commercial systems start around $800 and scale with square footage and system complexity.
What moves the price: system size, duct material (sheet metal versus flex), accessibility, whether video inspection reveals hidden damage requiring repair, and whether sealing is needed to prevent rapid re-contamination. We do not quote per-vent pricing. We price per system, in writing, before any work starts. The number you agree to is the number on the invoice. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate – we’ll ask about your home’s age, neighborhood, and any specific complaints so we can give you an accurate range before scheduling.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Banning
Banning sits in the San Gorgonio Pass, one of Southern California’s windiest corridors, and a single Santa Ana or high-wind event can pack sand and tumbleweed debris into outdoor return grilles and duct runs on the west side of town. If your duct joints are leaky, that sand gets pulled straight into your living space every time the blower cycles. We inspect and seal accessible joints as part of our cleaning protocol so the next wind event doesn’t undo the work. Call (361) 326-5060 for an exact quote – estimates are free.
Most Banning Heights homes built in the 1950s – 1970s need both. The original sheet-metal ductwork in these tracts often has leaky joints where mastic has dried out, and previous remodeling sometimes left runs disconnected behind walls. Cleaning alone leaves those pathways open for immediate re-contamination. We run a camera first, show you what we find, and price sealing separately in writing so you can decide with full information.
Sun Lakes homes are predominantly older with original sheet-metal ductwork and dried mastic joints that leak badly in wind events. East-side subdivisions use flexible ducting that’s less prone to joint leaks but more susceptible to crushing during installation or renovation, and the smoother interior surface can trap wind-driven debris differently. Our approach adapts to the material: agitation tools and negative-air extraction for both, but with different inspection priorities and sealing strategies. Call (361) 326-5060 for an exact quote – estimates are free.
Mold is rarely the primary concern in Banning’s dry climate. With humidity consistently low and summers that bake moisture out of structures, our duct cleaning focuses on particulate removal – sand, pollen, dust, and construction debris – rather than moisture control. If we do find mold during inspection, we’ll document it, explain the source, and price remediation separately in writing. Most Banning homeowners don’t need mold-specific treatment.
Telltales include uneven heating or cooling between rooms, excessive dust that returns quickly after cleaning, or grit that seems to originate from specific vents. We verify with video inspection – a camera run through the ductwork shows disconnected joints, crushed runs, or debris blockages in real time. We share the footage with you and explain what we’re seeing before pricing any repair work. Call (361) 326-5060 for an exact quote – estimates are free.
We were called to a mid-century tract home in Banning Heights where the homeowner complained of gritty dust settling on furniture every time the air handler kicked on. Our tech ran a camera inspection of the original sheet-metal supply and return ducts and found three crushed runs behind the kitchen remodel and a disconnected joint near the blower motor that had been pulling attic sand straight into the living space for years. We sealed the ductwork per NADCA standards, performed source removal with agitation tools under negative pressure with HEPA filtration, and the homeowner’s dust complaint stopped within the week.
