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 Orange Cove
Air duct cleaning in Orange Cove typically runs $350 – $650 for a full residential system and is scheduled by appointment with our Fresno-based crew serving the city directly. We’re familiar with the older stucco and wood-frame homes that make up much of Orange Cove’s housing stock, many with original or retrofitted flex-duct systems from the 1970s and 1980s that need more than a surface vacuum to fix properly. Our Air Duct Cleaning team dispatches from the Central Valley office and covers Orange Cove neighborhoods including the streets near the Orange Cove Citrus Association packing house, the older grid south of Anchor Avenue, and the residential blocks off Park Boulevard. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free written estimate.
Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Orange Cove’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
Hollis has been part of the Garrison Partners family since 2004, and our Central Valley operation has built its reputation on showing up inside the quoted window, pricing in writing before any work starts, and leaving the site clean. Orange Cove homeowners know the difference between a crew that runs a vacuum hose for twenty minutes and one that inspects the full system, finds the disconnected runs, and seals them so the dust stays out.
Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed, and we follow The Garrison Code on every job: arrive squared away, explain what we’re finding in plain terms, photograph before and after, and put the price in writing before touching equipment. The 365-Day Done Right Promise covers every job, if something fails within a year, we return and make it right at no charge, including a free second visit.
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 to schedule.
Air Duct Repair in Orange Cove
Air Duct Repair in Orange Cove usually starts with a complaint about dust, weak airflow, or a noisy blower motor, and ends with our techs finding disconnected flex-duct runs, crushed sections, or gaps where attic air is pouring into the system. The typical repair range in Orange Cove is $180 – $450 for reconnecting and sealing runs, $320 – $580 for replacing damaged flex-duct sections, and $150 – $280 for sealing return plenum leaks with mastic. We always inspect with a video camera before quoting, so the price you see is the price you pay.
Disconnected Flex-Duct Runs
Orange Cove’s older homes, especially the mid-century stucco builds near the citrus packing houses, often have flex-duct retrofits from the 1980s or 1990s that have pulled loose in the attic heat. We find these with a video inspection, reconnect them with mechanical fasteners, and seal every joint with duct mastic so agricultural dust can’t re-enter.
Crushed or Collapsed Sections
Attic storage, rodent activity, or decades of heat cycling can crush flex-duct in Orange Cove’s tight attic spaces. We replace damaged sections with new insulated flex-duct, size-matched to the original run, and balance airflow before we leave.
Ductwork Cleaning in Orange Cove
Ductwork Cleaning in Orange Cove is a different job than in cleaner-air cities because the debris here is heavier and more abrasive. A typical whole-system clean runs $350 – $650 for residential, $480 – $920 for larger homes or commercial spaces, and includes supply ducts, return ducts, the air handler cabinet, and a video inspection before and after. We use a Rotobrush rotary brush system under negative pressure with HEPA filtration, the same method commercial crews use, because lighter equipment won’t dislodge the grit that accumulates here.
Source Removal for Agricultural Soil
The reddish-brown soil that blows in from surrounding citrus and table-grape operations sticks to duct walls and embeds in flex-duct corrugations. Our rotary brush scrubs it loose while negative pressure pulls it into a sealed containment system, not back into your home.
Air Handler and Coil Cleaning
The blower motor and evaporator coil collect the same grit that fills the ducts. We clean both as part of a full system job, because a clean duct connected to a dirty air handler just recirculates the same debris.
Trusted Brands We Service in Orange Cove
We run professional-grade equipment on every Orange Cove job: Rotobrush rotary brush systems for mechanical agitation, Nikro negative-air machines for containment, and filtration upgrades using Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Guardsman products. We stock common filter sizes and MERV-rated upgrade cabinets for Orange Cove’s older homes, many of which still use a thin fiberglass pad in a slot meant for a proper filter rack. If your system needs a filter cabinet retrofit to handle valley smog and orchard dust, we can price that in writing on the same visit.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Orange Cove Homes
- Disconnected flex-duct runs in the attic. The 1990s retrofits common in Orange Cove’s mid-century homes used tape that dries and fails in attic heat. We regularly find supply runs blowing conditioned air into the attic and pulling 140°F attic air back through the return, which loads the system with dust and kills efficiency.
- Undersized returns with no filter cabinet. Many Orange Cove homes were built with a single central return and a 1-inch filter slot that can’t handle the particle load this valley generates. We recommend upgrading to a MERV-11 or MERV-13 filter cabinet as part of a comprehensive fix.
- Blower motors failing from abrasive agricultural grit. The reddish-brown soil we pull from Orange Cove ducts is harder on bearings than ordinary household dust. Homeowners who wait until the motor whines often need both a clean and a motor replacement, when earlier cleaning would have prevented it.
- Crushed flex-duct from attic storage or heat cycling. Orange Cove’s attics hit extreme temperatures in summer, and decades of that cycling degrades flex-duct insulation and structure. We find sections flattened to half their diameter, choking airflow to back bedrooms.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Orange Cove, CA
Whole-system residential duct cleaning in Orange Cove runs $350 – $650 for a typical single-story home with 8 – 15 registers. Commercial systems start around $680 and scale with square footage and HVAC unit count. Air duct repair, including reconnecting and sealing disconnected runs, typically falls in the $180 – $580 range depending on attic accessibility and extent of damage. Dryer vent cleaning, which we recommend pairing with duct cleaning, runs $120 – $220.
What moves the price: number of supply and return registers, whether the air handler needs cleaning, if we find disconnected or damaged ductwork that needs repair before cleaning is worthwhile, and whether we’re upgrading filtration. We put the full price in writing before any work starts. One flat price per system. No per-vent add-ons, no equipment fees that appear at the door. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Orange Cove
Orange Cove sits in the San Joaquin Valley’s most polluted air basin and lies directly in the path of agricultural dust from surrounding citrus and table-grape operations, while foothill towns like those toward the Sierra Nevada receive cleaner, cooler air with less particulate load. That combination of valley smog and reddish-brown orchard soil creates a heavy, abrasive debris that accumulates faster here than almost anywhere else in the region. If you’re seeing grit on your registers, call (361) 326-5060 and we’ll inspect the system.
Yes, our process follows NADCA guidelines: we put the system under negative pressure with a Nikro containment unit, then use mechanical agitation with a Rotobrush system to dislodge debris before extraction. This prevents the dust cloud that cheaper methods can create inside your home. We photograph before and after for every job. Call (361) 326-5060 to schedule.
Cleaning helps, but it often fails as a standalone fix in 1970s Orange Cove homes because the real problem is disconnected or breached flex-duct runs that let attic air and agricultural dust pour in continuously. We video-inspect first, and if we find breaches, we quote the repair and sealing work separately so you understand why cleaning alone won’t last. The written price covers both before any work begins. Call (361) 326-5060 for an inspection.
Given the particle load in Orange Cove’s air, we recommend duct cleaning every 3 – 5 years for homes with standard filtration, and every 2 – 3 years if someone in the home has allergies or asthma. Dryer vents should be cleaned annually because lint buildup is a fire hazard regardless of air quality, and the same agricultural dust that fills ducts can coat dryer exhaust paths. Call (361) 326-5060 to set up a maintenance schedule.
Yes, because the problem is concentrated accumulation: your HVAC system pulls outdoor air through return leaks and filter gaps, then recirculates that same debris dozens of times per day, building up layers on duct walls and blower components. Cleaning removes the accumulated reservoir, and sealing the ductwork stops the continuous infusion of new outdoor particles. Upgrading filtration captures what remains. We address all three layers: source removal, sealing, and filtration. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate.
