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 Dripping Springs
Air duct cleaning in Dripping Springs typically runs $350 – $850 for a whole-home system, with most residential jobs completed in a single visit. We’re Hollis Air Duct Cleaning, and our crews serve Dripping Springs from our Austin dispatch office, carrying Rotobrush rotary systems and Nikro negative-air machines through neighborhoods from Belterra to the ranch properties along Ranch Road 12. If your vents are pushing dust, your allergies spike indoors, or you’ve never had ducts cleaned since moving in, call us at (361) 326-5060. We’ll give you a written price before any work starts, and every job carries our 365-Day Done Right Promise.
Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Dripping Springs’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
We’ve been part of the Garrison Partners family since 2004, and our Dripping Springs customers know we don’t play the coupon-and-switch game that plagues this trade. Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and expected to operate by The Garrison Code: arrive inside the window, price in writing, finish by the book, leave the site clean.
Dispatch and scheduling run from our Austin office, but crews are on Dripping Springs roads daily, from the new custom builds near Caliterra to the older ranch homes off Fitzhugh Road. Phones are answered by a live person 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. No voicemail loops. No “we’ll call you back Monday.”
Our 365-Day Done Right Promise means 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 every job, not implied.
Air Duct Inspection in Dripping Springs
Air Duct Inspection in Dripping Springs starts with a video camera run through your supply and return lines, followed by static pressure testing and a written report showing what we found. Most Dripping Springs homeowners book an inspection when they notice uneven airflow between rooms, dust settling within days of cleaning, or allergy symptoms that persist indoors through cedar season. A standalone inspection runs $150 – $250; if you proceed with cleaning, we credit that toward the job.
What the Camera Reveals
Our video inspection catches construction debris in new custom homes, collapsed flex duct in older ranch properties, and pollen buildup that standard flashlight checks miss. You’ll see the footage. We explain what it means for your system’s efficiency and your indoor air. No jargon without translation.
When to Inspect Before Cleaning
If your home has multiple HVAC zones or you’ve never mapped your duct layout, inspect first. We’ve found Dripping Springs houses with three air handlers where the homeowner only knew about two. Cleaning two of three systems leaves the dirty one circulating dust through the whole house.
Residential Air Duct Cleaning in Dripping Springs
Residential Air Duct Cleaning in Dripping Springs means source removal: we place the duct system under controlled negative pressure with HEPA filtration, then agitate debris loose with rotary brushes or compressed-air whips so it vacuums out rather than blowing through your home. A typical single-system home runs $350 – $550; multi-system custom houses common in Belterra, Caliterra, and the Ranch Road 12 corridor run $650 – $850 depending on access and contamination level.
Multi-System Homes Need Multi-System Cleans
A 3,500 square foot Dripping Springs custom home with three zones isn’t a single-system job with extra vents. Each air handler has its own return and supply network. We price per system, clean per system, and show you camera proof for each. Anything less leaves whole wings of your house uncleaned.
Cedar Pollen and Construction Dust Removal
The fine particles from Ashe juniper pollen and new-build drywall dust don’t shake loose with a shop vacuum. Our negative-air method pulls them out under controlled pressure. We finish by wiping down the blower motor compartment and coils, because debris there recirculates into “clean” ducts within days.
Trusted Brands We Service in Dripping Springs
Our equipment roster includes Rotobrush rotary brush systems for agitation, Nikro negative-air machines for containment, and filtration upgrades from Honeywell and Aprilaire. We stock common filter sizes and MERV upgrade options for Dripping Springs customers, so you’re not waiting on a parts order while cedar season ramps up. If your system needs a media filter cabinet or a whole-house air cleaner, we carry Guardsman and Abatement Technologies products sized for the larger HVAC setups common in new Hill Country construction.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Dripping Springs Homes
- Cedar pollen loading in winter returns. Ashe juniper pollen peaks December through March in Dripping Springs, and standard 1-inch filters don’t catch the fine particles. They coat return ducts and blower wheels, then recirculate year-round.
- Construction debris in new custom homes. Drywall dust and caliche grit settle in flex duct runs during building, especially in the 2,500 – 4,500 sq ft homes going up near Caliterra and Belterra. HVAC contractors rarely clean ducts before turnover.
- Multi-zone systems treated as single-zone jobs. A crew prices by vent count, cleans one air handler, and leaves two others loaded with dust. We see this on ranch properties converted to multi-generational homes with added systems.
- Caliche grit from unpaved roads. Homes on Fitzhugh Road, Creek Road, or other unimproved routes pull fine limestone grit into returns. It abrades blower motors and won’t clear with filter changes alone.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Dripping Springs, TX
Whole-system air duct cleaning in Dripping Springs runs $350 – $550 for a single HVAC system and $650 – $850 for multi-system homes, which covers most of the new custom construction in the area.

What moves you within that range: number of air handlers, accessibility of ductwork (crawl space vs. attic), contamination level, and whether we find damaged flex duct that needs repair before cleaning.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Dripping Springs
Every 2 – 3 years for most Dripping Springs homes, sooner if you’re on an unpaved road or running multiple HVAC systems. Austin’s cleaning demand peaks in summer; Dripping Springs’ cedar pollen load hits December through March, so winter is when your ducts actually load up with allergens. Call (361) 326-5060 and we’ll assess your specific setup.
Yes, especially if your symptoms persist indoors with windows closed. Fine Ashe juniper particles ride return ducts past standard filters and settle in blower compartments and supply lines, recirculating year-round. We’ve had Dripping Springs homeowners report relief within a week of source-removal cleaning plus a MERV upgrade. Call (361) 326-5060 for an inspection.
It changes how often you need it, not necessarily how we clean. Caliche grit is abrasive and accumulates faster than standard household dust. We use the same negative-air source removal, but we inspect blower motors more carefully for grit damage and may recommend more frequent filter changes. Call (361) 326-5060 to discuss your road conditions.
Yes, if they were never cleaned post-construction. Drywall dust, wood framing debris, and caliche grit from the building phase settle in flex duct runs and air handlers. A crew ran a source-removal job on a 3,200 sq ft new custom home off Ranch Road 12 near the Onion Creek crossing, where the owner had blamed two winters of coughing on cedar fever but the real culprit was construction drywall dust still coating the flex duct runs and both air handlers. We set the system under negative pressure with HEPA filtration, ran agitation tools and a camera inspection through the supply and return ducts, and pulled caliche grit and drywall fines out of the blower motor compartment before it chewed up the bearings. Upgrading the returns to a higher MERV rating and sealing the registers cut the dust she was seeing on her window sills within a week. Call (361) 326-5060 if your home is under five years old and never had a post-construction clean.
Yes, we service detached shop and barn systems on Dripping Springs ranch properties. These units often run on separate air handlers with their own duct networks, and they’re typically loaded with workshop dust, pollen, and agricultural debris. We price them as additional systems and clean them to the same standard. Call (361) 326-5060 to describe your setup.
