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.

Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is North Highlands’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
We’ve been in business since 2004 as part of the Garrison Partners family, and our Air Duct Cleaning team has built a reputation in North Highlands by showing up when we said we would, pricing the job in writing before touching anything, and leaving the site clean. Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed; you know who’s walking into your home before they arrive.
Phones are answered by a live person 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. No voicemail loops, no callback queues, no waiting until Monday for someone to pick up.
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. That’s not a verbal assurance; it’s printed on your invoice.
We know North Highlands homes. The original tract construction, the later additions, the attic-mounted units that make duct access more labor-intensive. That local knowledge means we scope the job correctly the first time, not halfway through the visit.
Commercial Air Duct Cleaning in North Highlands
Commercial Air Duct Cleaning in North Highlands covers retail spaces, office buildings, small warehouses, and multi-tenant properties where the HVAC system runs harder and longer than residential equipment, and where code compliance and employee health concerns raise the stakes. A typical commercial job in North Highlands runs $500 – $900 per system depending on square footage, duct accessibility, and whether the building has rooftop units or interior mechanical rooms. We use Nikro negative-air machines and Rotobrush rotary brush systems to dislodge and extract debris, with HEPA filtration to contain what we pull out.
Scheduled Maintenance Programs
Commercial properties near I-80 and Watt Avenue often schedule quarterly or semi-annual cleanings to stay ahead of the dust load that accumulates during North Highlands’s long cooling season. We write the scope and price in advance, so your maintenance budget stays predictable.
Post-Construction and Tenant Turnover
When a North Highlands commercial space changes hands or finishes a remodel, drywall dust and debris sit in the ducts. We document the condition with video inspection before and after, so property managers have proof the work happened.
Air Duct Cleaning Services in North Highlands
Air Duct Cleaning Services in North Highlands address the specific problems this area’s housing stock creates: original 1950s – 1960s galvanized ductwork that’s undersized and leaky, later additions with separate attic-mounted systems, and decades of dust, pollen, and wildfire smoke residue recirculating through closed-up homes during hot summers. A typical residential system cleaning in North Highlands costs $350 – $650, with multi-system homes running higher because each air handler and duct run must be scoped and cleaned separately. We do not quote flat house rates; we price per system, in writing, before any work starts.
Full System Cleaning with Video Inspection
Our crews use Rotobrush rotary brush systems to agitate debris from duct walls, coupled with Nikro negative-air extraction and HEPA containment. Afterward, we run a camera so you see what came out and what the ducts look like now. In North Highlands’s climate, where homeowners run AC constantly from May through October, that documentation matters. You cannot see inside your ducts; we make sure you have proof the source removal happened.
Duct Sealing for Leaky Older Systems
Original North Highlands tract ductwork often leaks at joints and connections, especially where additions tie into the original runs. We apply duct sealing mastic to accessible disconnections during the cleaning visit, restoring airflow that was lost to the attic. This is not a separate upsell; if we find it, we flag it, price it, and let you decide before we proceed.

Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in North Highlands Homes
- Multi-system homes scoped as single-system jobs. Because many North Highlands houses started as 1950s – 1960s tracts and later added second or third systems for converted garages or rear additions, a flat house rate almost always misses something. We price per air handler and per duct run, so nothing gets rushed.
- Original galvanized ductwork disconnected or crushed in attics. The 1960s metal in North Highlands homes corrodes at joints, separates under vibration, and gets stepped on by contractors over decades. Cleaning debris from a disconnected duct does nothing if the air is dumping into the attic; we inspect first, report what we find, and seal what we can reach.
- Wildfire smoke residue embedded in flex duct lining. North Highlands’s valley location means smoke from foothill fires settles during inversion events, and fine particulate works into porous duct surfaces. Standard vacuuming won’t extract it; our agitation and negative-air method will.
- Missing documentation after the crew leaves. In a climate where AC runs six months a year, homeowners need proof the cleaning happened. We provide before-and-after video, written scope, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise on every North Highlands job.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in North Highlands
Each system is priced separately, typically $350 – $650 for the first and $250 – $450 for each additional unit, because each has its own air handler, duct runs, and access points. A flat house rate would force the crew to rush the second and third systems, leaving debris in longer runs. Call (361) 326-5060 and we’ll scope each system on site.
Not always, but we inspect first and report what we find. Original galvanized ductwork in North Highlands is often disconnected, corroded at joints, or undersized for modern AC loads. Cleaning alone won’t restore airflow if half the air is dumping into the attic; we seal accessible leaks with mastic and note anything that needs a dedicated repair visit.
You should receive before-and-after video inspection, a written scope of work, your priced invoice, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. In North Highlands’s hot-summer climate, where AC runs constantly, that documentation is your proof the source removal actually happened.
Yes. Valley inversions and foothill fires push fine particulate into North Highlands homes, and it embeds in duct lining over time. If your house smells like smoke when the AC kicks on after a fire season, that’s residue recirculating. Our negative-air method with HEPA filtration extracts what standard vacuuming cannot.
Yes. We clean retail, office, and light industrial ductwork in North Highlands, typically $500 – $900 per system depending on access and square footage.
