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 Bronx
Air duct cleaning in Bronx typically runs $350 – $750 for a standard residential system and $800 – $2,500 for commercial jobs, with most appointments scheduled within a week. We’re Hollis Air Duct Cleaning, and our crews work Bronx from the Grand Concourse to Throgs Neck, dispatching from our New York City office with equipment that handles everything from pre-war cast-iron ductwork to modern flex systems. Call (361) 326-5060 for a written estimate before any work starts.
The Bronx isn’t like other boroughs. Between the rental-heavy blocks near Hunts Point, the co-op towers along the Concourse, and the single-family pockets in Riverdale, you’re looking at six decades of building codes and materials crammed into one county. That variety matters when you’re choosing who cleans your ducts. A crew that treats a 1920s apartment building like a suburban ranch house will miss the asbestos-wrapped insulation, the undersized galvanized returns, or the bathroom vents dumping into air shafts. We’ve cleaned ducts in Mott Haven walk-ups and University Heights basements long enough to know the difference.
Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Bronx’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
We’ve been at this since 2004, and our reputation in Bronx rests on specifics, not slogans. When we say we’ll arrive between 8 and 10 a.m., we mean inside that window, not “sometime before lunch.” That’s The Garrison Standard, and it applies to every independently owned Hollis location.
Bronx customers have told us the same story for years: they booked a cheap coupon deal, the technician showed up late in an unmarked van, and the $99 special became a $600 upsell once the hoses were in the door. We don’t work that way. The price is written down before we touch your system. It doesn’t move at the door, and it’s backed by our 365-Day Done Right Promise. If the work fails within a year, we come back and make it right at no charge, including a free second visit.
Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and equipped with professional-grade tools: Rotobrush rotary brush systems for mechanical agitation, Nikro negative-air machines for containment, and filtration products from Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Guardsman. You know who’s walking into your home before they arrive, and you know what they’re carrying.
Phones are answered by a live person, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. No voicemail loops, no callback queues, no waiting until Monday to schedule.
Residential Air Duct Cleaning in Bronx
Residential Air Duct Cleaning in Bronx means dealing with housing stock you won’t find in newer suburbs: pre-1950 apartment buildings with original galvanized ductwork, co-op towers with shared plenums, and the occasional asbestos-wrapped branch line that needs EPA-compliant handling. A typical single-family or apartment system in Bronx runs $350 – $550 for a full cleaning, with larger multi-zone systems or heavy contamination reaching $650 – $750.
Supply and Return Line Cleaning
Supply ducts push conditioned air into your rooms; returns pull it back. In Bronx’s older buildings, these lines are often undersized and coated with decades of dust, roach debris, and mold spores. We clean both directions with rotary brushes and HEPA-contained vacuums so nothing recirculates.
Video Inspection Before and After
Our technicians run a camera through the system before starting, then again when finished. You’ll see the difference on a screen, not just take our word for it. In buildings covered by Local Law 55, this documentation can be submitted to HPD or HQS inspectors.
Commercial Air Duct Cleaning in Bronx
Commercial Air Duct Cleaning in Bronx covers everything from small retail spaces on Fordham Road to multi-story medical offices near Montefiore. Commercial systems start around $800 for a straightforward rooftop unit and run to $2,500 for larger buildings with multiple air handlers, VAV boxes, and fire-smoke dampers that must be reset per code.
HVAC Hygiene for High-Occupancy Buildings
Offices, clinics, and schools in Bronx face higher occupancy loads and stricter indoor-air standards. We use Nikro negative-air machines to maintain pressure containment during cleaning, preventing cross-contamination between zones.
Post-Cleaning Compliance Documentation
Property managers in Bronx often need written verification for insurance, lease compliance, or Local Law 55 audits. We provide before-and-after photos, video records, and a written completion report with every commercial job.
Trusted Brands We Service in Bronx
We stock parts and filtration products from Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Abatement Technologies for Bronx customers, which means faster turnaround when a system needs more than just cleaning. Honeywell media filters and electronic air cleaners are common in Bronx’s mid-century apartment conversions; Aprilaire whole-house humidifiers and dehumidifiers show up frequently in Riverdale renovations. Abatement Technologies HEPA filtration and containment gear is what we deploy on jobs with mold or asbestos concerns. We don’t have to order these and wait. That matters when you’re coordinating access with a building super on the Grand Concourse or scheduling around a medical practice’s patient hours.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Bronx Homes
- Illegal vent discharges into air shafts. In Hunts Point and Mott Haven, we regularly find dryer exhausts and bathroom fans venting directly into wall cavities or masonry shafts. This violates NYC building code and turns a routine cleaning into a compliance repair.
- Asbestos-wrapped duct insulation. Pre-1950 buildings throughout University Heights and Morrisania still contain asbestos paper on ductwork. Disturbing it without DEP notification and EPA containment is illegal and dangerous; we identify it before touching anything.
- Undersized returns choked with debris. Original cast-iron or galvanized returns in Bronx rentals are often half the diameter modern codes require. Decades of accumulation restrict airflow so severely that tenants run window units year-round.
- Mold in humid basement plenums. Bronx’s summer humidity and old foundation leaks create perfect conditions for mold growth in basement-mounted air handlers, especially in buildings where the condensate drain has been clogged since the 1980s.
