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 Colorado Springs
Air duct cleaning in Colorado Springs typically runs $350 – $650 for a whole-home system and is scheduled within a few days of your call. The dry, high-desert climate and frequent Front Range windstorms here mean dust accumulates in ducts faster than in most U.S. cities, so Colorado Springs homeowners usually notice the difference within a season of a proper cleaning.
We dispatch our crews from our Denver office, and they serve Colorado Springs homes and businesses daily. From the mid-century ranches in Old Colorado City to the newer builds stretching toward Falcon and the east side, we know the housing stock, the duct types, and the dust. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate with a written price before any work starts.
Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Colorado Springs’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
Hollis has been part of the Garrison Partners family since 2004, and our Air Duct Cleaning team brings that track record to every Colorado Springs job. We don’t compete on teaser coupons. We compete on showing up inside the window, pricing in writing, and leaving the site clean. That’s The Garrison Standard, and it’s how we operate from Briargate to Security-Widefield.
Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed. You know who’s arriving before they knock. Phones are answered by a live person 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, no voicemail loops. And every job carries our 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing: if the work fails within a year, we return and make it right at no charge, including a free second visit.
We’ve cleaned ducts after spring dust storms that left visible red powder in east-side homes near the plains, and we’ve pulled wildfire ash from systems in the foothills. Colorado Springs isn’t generic territory to us. We know the difference between the galvanized steel ductwork common in 1960s – 1980s builds and the flexible ducting that sags in newer construction, and we adjust our approach accordingly.
HVAC Duct Cleaning in Colorado Springs
HVAC Duct Cleaning in Colorado Springs addresses the full network of supply and return ducts that move conditioned air through your home, plus the registers, grilles, and often the air handler cabinet itself. Because of the city’s altitude over 6,000 feet and semi-arid climate, indoor air stays dry, but open windows during mild summers and frequent wind events pull in fine dust, pollen, and mountain wildfire ash that settles throughout the system. Most Colorado Springs homeowners schedule this every 3 – 5 years, though homes near the plains or with original galvanized ductwork may need it sooner. A typical residential HVAC duct cleaning here runs $450 – $750 depending on system size and accessibility.
Supply Duct Cleaning
Supply ducts push heated or cooled air into your rooms. In Colorado Springs, these lines often show the heaviest buildup on the east side of town where windborne mineral dust is finest and most persistent. Our Rotobrush rotary brush systems break that buildup loose, then Nikro negative-air machines pull it out of the house entirely rather than redistributing it.
Return Duct Cleaning
Return ducts draw air back to the handler for reconditioning. They act as the system’s intake filter, so they collect larger debris and can harbor mold in the rare spots where condensation forms. We inspect these lines with a video camera before and after cleaning so you see what was in there and what came out.
Vent Cleaning in Colorado Springs
Vent Cleaning in Colorado Springs focuses on the visible registers, grilles, and immediate boot connections where dust first enters your living space. These components catch the coarsest debris and are often what homeowners notice first: dark rings around ceiling vents, or a puff of dust when the system kicks on. In older neighborhoods like Manitou Springs, we’ve found vents completely choked with decades of compacted dust and even construction debris from original 1960s builds. A standard vent cleaning for a Colorado Springs home runs $150 – $300 as a standalone service, or it’s included in a full system cleaning.
Register and Grille Deep Cleaning
We remove each register and grille, clean them with pressurized tools outside the home, and treat the boot cavity behind them where dust cakes thickest. This is where the red, powdery Front Range dust settles most visibly after spring storms.
Dryer Vent Cross-Check
While we’re at your vents, we also offer Dryer Vent Cleaning in Colorado Springs. The same lint and debris that slows your dryer creates a genuine fire hazard, and the dry climate here makes fast ignition more likely than in humid regions.
Trusted Brands We Service in Colorado Springs
Our equipment roster includes Rotobrush rotary brush systems and Nikro negative-air machines for the mechanical work, plus filtration and sealing products from Aprilaire, Abatement Technologies, and Guardsman. We don’t use hardware-store shop vacs adapted for ductwork. These are the same tools commercial crews run in hospitals and schools, and we explain what each one does while we’re in your home. For Colorado Springs customers, that means parts and filters are stocked regionally, so if your cleaning reveals a failing component, we can often source and install it without a second scheduling delay. We also handle Duct Sealing in Colorado Springs with mastic and mechanical fasteners when leaks are found during inspection.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Colorado Springs Homes
- Original galvanized steel ductwork in older neighborhoods. Homes built from the 1960s through the 1980s in Old Colorado City and Manitou Springs often have steel ducts that have rusted internally, creating rough surfaces where dust adheres permanently until mechanically removed.
- Sagging flexible ducting in newer construction. Builds from the 1990s onward in north and east Colorado Springs frequently use flex duct that develops low spots, collecting dust and restricting airflow until the line is cleaned and properly supported.
- Post-windstorm dust loading. After major spring Front Range wind events, we regularly find a visible layer of fine red mineral dust in east-side homes near the plains, far heavier than what accumulates in wetter mountain towns like Woodland Park.
- Wildfire ash infiltration. During active fire seasons in the nearby mountains, ash particles smaller than pollen slip through standard filters and settle in ductwork, requiring HEPA-level extraction to remove completely.
