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.
Fast, Reliable Air Duct Cleaning Across Grandview Heights
Air duct cleaning in Grandview Heights typically runs $280 – $480 for a full residential system, with most appointments scheduled within a week and completed in three to five hours. Our crews know the tight 1.5-square-mile layout here, the narrow streets between Ohio State’s campus and the Scioto River, and the particular headaches that come with pre-1950 ductwork. If you’re noticing weak airflow from second-floor vents, musty smells when the furnace kicks on, or dust settling faster than it should, the problem often starts in ducts that haven’t been opened since the Truman administration. Call us at (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate, and we’ll give you a written price before any work starts.
Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Grandview Heights’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
We’ve been serving the Columbus metro since 2004, and Grandview Heights homes keep us busy for a reason the suburbs don’t replicate. The original galvanized steel ductwork in these bungalows and Cape Cods wasn’t designed for modern forced-air systems, and homeowners here are tired of crews who treat every house like a 2005 subdivision build. Our Air Duct Cleaning in Grandview Heights team arrives inside the quoted window, in uniform, with background-checked technicians who’ve worked on gravity-furnace retrofits before.
Roy Castellanos built this operation on The Garrison Standard: written prices, written guarantees, and a 365-Day Done Right Promise that competitors rarely match in writing. If the work fails within a year, we come back at no charge, including a free second visit. No voicemail loops, either. A live person answers our phones 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and scheduling is coordinated from our Cleveland office with crews dispatched locally to Grandview Heights.
Air Duct Cleaning Services in Grandview Heights
Air Duct Cleaning Services in Grandview Heights address a specific set of problems that newer cities don’t face. Most homes here were built before 1950 with compact duct runs, undersized returns, and disconnected trunk lines that accumulate decades of debris. A typical residential cleaning runs $280 – $380 for a standard bungalow or Cape Cod, while larger two-story colonials with full basement trunk lines range $350 – $480. Commercial systems in the small business district along Grandview Avenue start around $450 and scale with square footage. We use Rotobrush rotary brush systems to dislodge buildup from original galvanized steel, then Nikro negative-air machines to pull it out without redistributing it through your house.
Residential Duct Cleaning
Grandview Heights homeowners usually call us when they notice uneven heating between floors, or when a renovation stirs up decades of settled grit. We clean supply ducts, return ducts, and the main trunk line as one system, because cleaning only half the loop leaves the dirty half contaminating the clean half. Every residential job includes a video inspection so you see what we see.

Commercial Duct Cleaning
The mixed-use buildings along Grandview Avenue and Third Avenue often combine retail below with offices or apartments above, sharing HVAC infrastructure that wasn’t designed for modern occupancy loads. We coordinate with property managers to clean during off-hours, contain disruption to tenants, and document completion for insurance or lease compliance.

HVAC Duct Cleaning in Grandview Heights
HVAC Duct Cleaning in Grandview Heights requires understanding how these systems were modified over decades. Many homes had central air retrofitted with A-coils sitting in plenums that were never properly sealed, and the tight spacing between houses on narrow lots means furnace intakes and dryer vents often discharge into side yards where debris gets pulled back in. A typical HVAC duct cleaning here costs $320 – $480 depending on whether we need to address seal failures around the A-coil plenum or disconnected flex runs in the basement. We also handle Duct Sealing in Grandview Heights when cleaning alone won’t fix the airflow problem.
Supply and Return Cleaning
Supply ducts push conditioned air to your rooms; returns pull it back to the furnace. In Grandview Heights, we regularly find returns in unsealed basement or crawl space areas where humid Ohio Valley summers have promoted mold growth on the duct interior. We treat both sides of the system, because cleaning supplies while ignoring contaminated returns just recirculates the problem.
Full System Cleaning with Video Inspection
Our full-system service includes every accessible duct, the plenum, and the blower compartment. We run a camera through the trunk line before and after so you have visual proof of the work. In Grandview Heights’s older housing stock, this often reveals disconnected sections or previous homeowner “repairs” made with duct tape and hope.
Trusted Brands We Service in Grandview Heights
Our equipment comes from Rotobrush, Nikro, and Abatement Technologies, the same brands commercial crews use in hospitals and schools. We stock Honeywell and Aprilaire filtration products for replacement during service, which matters in Grandview Heights where original systems often had no filtration at all. When a homeowner on Lincoln Road or Wyandotte Road needs a new media filter or upgraded cabinet, we don’t order it and make you wait. We carry common sizes and configurations on the van, so most jobs finish in one visit without callback delays.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Grandview Heights Homes
- Gravity-furnace-era ductwork retrofitted beyond capacity. The original systems in these homes moved heat by convection, not forced air. When blowers were added decades later, the undersized returns couldn’t keep up, creating pressure imbalances that pull attic and crawl space debris into the living space.
- Unsealed A-coil plenums leaking conditioned air. Central air retrofits in Grandview Heights often left gaps around the evaporator coil cabinet where cool air escapes into the basement and humid basement air gets drawn into the return. We find this on nearly every pre-1960 home we inspect.
- Lint and debris re-entering fresh-air intakes from narrow side yards. Houses on standard 40-foot lots don’t have clearance between properties. When a neighbor’s dryer vent or your own discharges three feet from a furnace intake, the system breathes in what should be exhausted outside.
- Mold in unsealed basement returns after humid summers. Grandview Heights’s location in the Ohio Valley means summer dew points regularly hit the high sixties. Returns running through damp basement corners without proper sealing become mold reservoirs that distribute spores every time the blower cycles.
