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.

Call (361) 326-5060 for a free written estimate.
We’ve been working in Fresno homes since 2004, and the San Joaquin Valley doesn’t forgive shortcuts. Your HVAC system pulls in six months of 100°F-plus outdoor air, wildfire smoke, and valley dust that coastal California never sees. That particulate doesn’t stay outside. It loads up in your ducts, bakes in your attic, and cycles back through your living space every time the blower kicks on. Our Air Duct Cleaning crews use the same equipment commercial operators run: Rotobrush rotary contact systems, Nikro negative-air machines, and HEPA filtration rated for the PM2.5 levels that Fresno routinely exceeds federal standards for. We show up in uniform, background-checked, with a written price before we touch anything.
Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Fresno’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
Fresno homeowners know the difference between a crew that sprays a fog and leaves, and one that actually removes what’s in the ducts. We’re the latter. Every Hollis technician works under The Garrison Standard: arrive inside the quoted window, price in writing, complete the job by the book, leave the site clean. No exceptions.
Roy Castellanos built this operation on the idea that a homeowner should know exactly what they’re paying for and exactly what happens if the work fails. That’s why every job carries the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If the repair fails within a year, we come back and make it right at no charge, including a free second visit. No negotiation, no runaround.
Our phones are answered by a live person 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Not a voicemail loop. Not a callback queue Monday morning. When you call (361) 326-5060, you talk to someone who can book your appointment, explain your pricing, and tell you who’s showing up at your door. Background-checked, uniformed technicians. Verifiable. Accountable.
Commercial Air Duct Cleaning in Fresno
Commercial Air Duct Cleaning in Fresno addresses a different scale of problem than residential work. Restaurants near Blackstone and Shaw, medical offices around Community Regional, and retail spaces in the River Park corridor all run HVAC systems that pull in the same valley particulate and wildfire residue as homes, but with higher occupancy, more cooking or chemical loads, and code requirements for indoor air quality. A typical commercial duct cleaning in Fresno runs $800 – $2,500 depending on system size and access, with written pricing agreed before any work begins.
Restaurant and Kitchen Exhaust Integration
Commercial kitchens in Fresno face grease loading in exhaust ducts that combines with valley dust to create fire hazards and odor problems. We clean the full exhaust run, not just the hood, with rotary agitation and negative-air containment that keeps grease and particulate out of the dining area.
Medical and Sensitive Occupancy Protocols
Clinics and dental offices around Fresno’s medical district need documented HEPA filtration and containment procedures. Our crews use Abatement Technologies portable HEPA units and sealed negative-pressure setups that meet the same standards commercial remediation firms work to.
Air Duct Cleaning Services in Fresno
Air Duct Cleaning Services in Fresno cover the full HVAC distribution system: supply ducts, return ducts, trunk lines, boots, and the air handler cabinet. A complete residential cleaning in Fresno’s market typically costs $350 – $650 for a single-system home, with multi-zone homes running higher. We don’t price per vent. One flat price per system, agreed in writing, before we start.
Fresno’s specific conditions demand more than a vacuum wand waved at the registers. The six-month cooling season, 140 – 160°F attic temperatures, and chronic PM2.5 nonattainment mean ducts here accumulate debris faster and suffer heat-driven material failures that cooler markets rarely see.
Video Inspection and Source Identification
We run a camera through the full duct run before we quote. In Fresno’s 1980s-2000s stucco tract homes, we regularly find delaminated flex duct liner and cracked mastic at the boots that a surface cleaning won’t fix. The camera shows you exactly what we’re pricing, so there’s no guesswork and no invoice inflation after we arrive.
Negative-Air HEPA Extraction
Our Nikro negative-air machines create suction at the air handler while Rotobrush contact tools agitate debris loose inside the duct. HEPA filtration captures particles down to 0.3 microns, which matters in a valley where federal air quality standards are routinely exceeded. Without this containment, agitation just stirs valley dust into your living space.

Trusted Brands We Service in Fresno
We stock and install filtration and cleaning equipment from Aprilaire, Abatement Technologies, and Guardsman, with parts available for fast turnaround on Fresno jobs. Aprilaire media air cleaners integrate directly into most residential systems we see in Clovis West and northeast Fresno tract homes. Abatement Technologies HEPA units run our commercial containment setups. Guardsman filtration products handle the replacement cycles that Fresno’s long cooling season demands, more frequent than milder climates require. We don’t upsell brand names you don’t need. We match the equipment to the actual condition of your system, explain what each component does for your air, and write the price down before we install anything.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Fresno Homes
- Heat-cooked flex duct liner in northeast Fresno stucco tracts. Attic runs near Friant and Shepherd routinely hit 140 – 160°F, delaminating the inner liner until it sheds fibers into the supply air. Camera inspection finds it. Replacement fixes it. Surface cleaning alone wastes your money.
- Cracked mastic seals at duct boots. Thermal expansion from Fresno’s extreme attic temperature swings cracks the seal between metal boot and flex duct, pulling attic insulation and dust into the system. We reseal with proper mastic, not tape that’ll fail again next summer.
- Fogging “sanitizer” residue without source removal. Some outfits run a chemical mist through the ducts, kill the odor, and leave the PM2.5 particulate and liner debris sitting in the run. Dust returns in weeks. We remove the source mechanically, then address microbial growth only if testing shows it’s present.
- Wildfire smoke residue in return plenums. Fresno’s 2020-2022 fire seasons loaded HVAC systems with fine particulate that standard filters can’t capture. It accumulates in the return side and recirculates during the long cooling run. Negative-air extraction with HEPA is the only method that removes it completely.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Fresno, CA
A typical residential Air Duct Cleaning in Fresno runs $350 – $650 for a complete single-system cleaning, including supply and return ducts, trunk lines, boots, and air handler cabinet. Multi-zone or larger homes, or systems with significant flex duct replacement needs, can run $700 – $1,200. Commercial systems start around $800 and scale with square footage and access complexity.
What moves the price: system size, number of zones, accessibility of attic or crawl runs, and whether we find heat-damaged flex duct or failed seals that need repair. We don’t quote low to get in the door, then discover “problems” once the van is parked. The camera inspection happens before we price. The price is written. It doesn’t move.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Fresno
Yes, typically every 3 – 5 years instead of 5 – 7 for metal, because Fresno’s 140 – 160°F attic heat degrades the flex liner and seals faster, creating more debris and more pathways for dust infiltration. We inspect with a camera to tell you whether you’re due for cleaning or if the duct itself needs repair. Call (361) 326-5060 to schedule.
No. Fogging kills surface odor and some microbial growth but leaves PM2.5 valley particulate, wildfire residue, and delaminated liner debris sitting in the duct. Dust returns within weeks. Source removal with mechanical agitation and negative-air HEPA extraction is the only method that actually cleans the duct. We don’t sell fogging as a substitute for real cleaning.
Fresno’s San Joaquin Valley location combines chronic federal PM2.5 and ozone nonattainment with a six-month cooling season that keeps HVAC systems cycling nearly nonstop. Coastal cities have cleaner baseline air and milder summers that let systems rest. No coastal market faces this exact combination of dirty air plus relentless mechanical runtime.
Sometimes, but only if the cause is debris accumulation. Often in Fresno, dust plumes signal heat-damaged flex duct or cracked seals that a cleaning won’t repair. We run a camera first. If it’s debris, we clean it. If it’s material failure, we quote the repair. We don’t charge you for cleaning that won’t solve the problem.
Ask four questions: Is the price written and fixed before work starts? Is camera inspection included? Is negative-air HEPA extraction used, or just a vacuum at the register? Is the technician background-checked and uniformed? If any answer is no, keep looking. Call (361) 326-5060 and we’ll walk you through exactly what our quote includes.
