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 Brunswick
Air duct cleaning in Brunswick, OH typically costs $350 – $650 for a full residential system and is usually completed in one visit. Most Brunswick homeowners with 1950s – 70s ranch homes need cleaning every 2 – 4 years due to original galvanized steel ductwork and dust loading from open land.
We’re Hollis Air Duct Cleaning, and our Air Duct Cleaning crews serve Brunswick from our Cleveland office. We know the area. Pearl Road, Center Road, the neighborhoods around Brunswick Lake, the older ranches off Grafton Road, the properties edging toward Medina County’s open land. We’ve cleaned ducts in homes where the same galvanized trunk lines have been moving air since the Eisenhower administration, and we’ve seen what happens when road grit from unpaved drives mixes with decades of furnace dust.
Our technicians arrive uniformed, background-checked, and on time. The price is written before we touch anything. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate.
Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Brunswick’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
We’ve been part of the Garrison Partners family since 2004, and our standard hasn’t changed: arrive inside the window, price in writing, complete the job by the book, leave the site clean. Brunswick homeowners know that promise because we put it in writing on every job.
Our crews understand Brunswick’s housing stock. The mid-century ranches with full basements, the original galvanized steel ductwork that predates flexible ducting, the long uninsulated runs to outbuildings and additions. We don’t treat a 1962 ranch off Center Road the same as a 2005 colonial in Strongsville. The equipment and approach are different because the systems are different.
Phones are answered by a live person 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. No voicemail loops. No callback queues. When you call (361) 326-5060, you talk to a person who can schedule your Brunswick appointment.
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. That’s written on your invoice, not implied.
Air Duct Inspection in Brunswick
Air Duct Inspection in Brunswick starts with understanding what kind of house we’re walking into. Most of our Brunswick calls are 1950s – 1970s single-story ranches with full basements and original galvanized steel ductwork that hasn’t been professionally cleaned since installation. Our inspection uses a video camera system to document the condition of every trunk line, branch run, and connection point before we quote any work.
The inspection costs $89 – $149 in Brunswick. If you proceed with cleaning, we apply that fee toward the job. We inspect because in these older homes, the visible registers often look fine while the hidden trunk lines are packed with debris. A camera inspection reveals what you can’t see from the living room.
What We Document
We record video of the entire duct system, noting debris depth, rust spots, disconnected joints, and any cracks in the heat exchanger visible from the duct side. You see what we see. In Brunswick’s downtown-adjacent neighborhoods, we’ve found heat exchanger cracks during inspection that required immediate furnace replacement for carbon monoxide safety.
When Brunswick Homeowners Need an Inspection
Schedule an inspection if you’ve never had your ducts cleaned, if you heat with wood and notice black dust on registers, or if you’ve recently purchased a mid-century ranch and don’t know the system’s history. The inspection takes 45 – 60 minutes and gives you a factual basis for deciding whether cleaning is needed now or can wait.
Residential Air Duct Cleaning in Brunswick
Residential Air Duct Cleaning in Brunswick requires equipment matched to older galvanized steel systems, not the flexible ducting found in newer construction. We use Rotobrush rotary brush systems sized for rigid metal ducts, paired with Nikro negative-air machines that maintain HEPA-filtered containment throughout the cleaning process.
A typical Brunswick residential cleaning runs $350 – $650 for a full system, depending on duct complexity, number of vents, and whether the job includes the air handler and blower motor. Homes with outbuilding runs or long additions cost more because there’s more linear footage to clean. We quote the full price before starting, with no per-vent add-ons.
Source Removal Process
We don’t just blow air through your ducts. We attach a negative-air machine to create vacuum pressure throughout the system, then use rotary agitation tools to dislodge debris from the duct walls while HEPA filtration captures it. For Brunswick’s older galvanized systems, we select brush stiffness that cleans without scuffing or cracking the aged metal.
Furnace and Air Handler Integration
In Brunswick’s ranch homes, the furnace and ductwork are one interconnected system. Cleaning ducts without addressing the blower motor, evaporator coil, and heat exchanger leaves the source of dust untouched. We include the air handler in our standard scope because we’ve seen too many “duct-only” cleans fail when the dirty blower immediately recontaminates the lines.
Trusted Brands We Service in Brunswick
We clean and service systems with components from Aprilaire, Abatement Technologies, Guardsman, and Rotobrush. Our trucks carry filters, access panels, and repair parts sized for the equipment we encounter in Brunswick homes, which means most jobs finish in one visit without waiting on parts. When we find a cracked heat exchanger or failed blower motor during cleaning, we can often source the replacement and return within 24 – 48 hours because we stock for this market specifically.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Brunswick Homes
- Debris hidden in long galvanized trunks. In Brunswick’s older ranches, dust and road grit accumulate in the main trunk lines and outbuilding runs where homeowners can’t see it. The registers look clean while the system circulates contaminated air. A camera inspection usually reveals the true condition.
- Wood stove soot mixing with furnace dust. Homes that supplement with wood heat, common in the rural edges of Brunswick near Medina County, develop black soot deposits in ducts that standard dust cleaning won’t address. We use stronger agitation and source-removal techniques for these cases.
- Wrong tools damaging aged galvanized steel. Some cleaners use flexible-duct equipment on rigid metal and crack or scuff the aging surface. That creates leaks that pull in more pollen from Cuyahoga County metro parks and humid summer air, worsening the problem they came to fix.
- Disconnected outbuilding runs pulling in unfiltered air. The long, uninsulated duct runs to garages, workshops, and additions in Brunswick’s ranch homes often separate at joints, drawing dust directly from crawl spaces and unconditioned areas into the main house system.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Brunswick
Every 2 – 4 years for Brunswick’s rural-edge ranch homes with original galvanized steel ductwork, outbuilding runs, and open-land dust exposure. The standard 5 – 7 year interval applies to newer suburbs with flexible ducting and sealed systems; Brunswick’s older ranches with unpaved road exposure and wood heat need more frequent attention. Call (361) 326-5060 to schedule an inspection and we’ll tell you where your system falls on that timeline.
Yes, our source-removal methods follow NADCA guidelines for mechanical agitation and negative-air containment, adapted for the rigid galvanized steel common in downtown-adjacent Brunswick neighborhoods. We use softer-bristle rotary tools on aged metal to clean without damaging the duct walls, and we maintain HEPA filtration throughout the process. The Garrison Standard requires completing the job by the book, which means we don’t cut corners on containment or documentation.
Wood stoves produce fine black soot that bonds to duct walls differently than household dust, and in Brunswick’s older ranches that soot often mixes with road grit from long uninsulated runs. Standard dust cleaning won’t remove it. We use stronger rotary agitation and longer contact time for wood-heat systems, and we always inspect the blower motor because soot accumulates there first. Homes with wood heat should plan on the shorter end of the 2 – 4 year cleaning interval.
We clean the entire air distribution system from the air handler through every supply and return branch, including the blower motor, evaporator coil (if accessible), and filter replacement. In Brunswick’s ranch homes, the furnace and ducts are one system; cleaning one without the other leaves contamination that immediately recirculates. We also run a basic heat exchanger visual check during the process, and if we find cracks, we stop and document the safety issue before continuing. The visit typically takes 3 – 5 hours for a full system.
Yes, we add dryer vent cleaning for $75 – $125 when scheduled with duct cleaning. Brunswick’s rural properties often have longer dryer vent runs to exterior walls, and lint accumulation is a genuine fire hazard. We clean the full vent line with rotary tools and verify airflow at termination. Many homeowners bundle the two services since we’re already on site with the equipment. Call (361) 326-5060 to add dryer vent cleaning to your appointment.
