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 Reynoldsburg
Air duct cleaning in Reynoldsburg typically runs $350 – $650 for a whole-home system and takes three to five hours for the older ranches and split-levels that dominate this market. We dispatch crews from our Cleveland office and serve Reynoldsburg neighborhoods regularly, including the original ranch blocks near Main Street, the split-level streets around Livingston Avenue, and the newer subdivisions east of State Route 256. If your home was built between 1955 and 1985, there’s a strong chance your galvanized supply ducts have never been properly opened and cleaned. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate. We’ll give you a written price before any work starts.
Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Reynoldsburg’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
We’ve been in business since 2004 as part of the Garrison Partners family, and our crews know Reynoldsburg’s housing stock. The brick ranches off Brice Road, the frame homes near Taylor Road, the two-story colonials close to Huber Park – we’ve cleaned ducts in all of them. Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and expected to follow The Garrison Code on every job: arrive inside the quoted window, price in writing, complete the work by the book, leave the site clean.
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. No negotiation, no runaround.
Our phones are answered by a live person 24 hours a day, seven days a week. No voicemail loops, no callback queues, no waiting until Monday to schedule.
We use professional-grade equipment – Rotobrush rotary brush systems, Nikro negative-air machines, and HEPA filtration from Abatement Technologies – the same tools commercial crews use, explained in plain terms on every job.
Air Duct Inspection in Reynoldsburg
Air Duct Inspection in Reynoldsburg means running a camera through your entire system before we quote a dollar, because the problems in a 1965 ranch off Main Street are not the same as those in a 2005 build near Pickerington Road. We inspect supply trunks, return pans, branch runs, and register boots. The inspection itself runs $150 – $250 and is credited toward your cleaning if you proceed. In Reynoldsburg’s older homes, we’re specifically looking for crushed galvanized branch lines, disconnected returns in kitchen walls, and rust scale narrowing 2×4 and 3×4 inch supply ducts that were undersized even when they were new.
What the Camera Reveals
Our video inspection records the interior condition of every accessible duct. In Reynoldsburg’s 1960s-70s ranches, we regularly find original trunk lines that have never been opened, packed with lint, rust flakes, and in some cases, rodent debris. You see the footage. We explain what it means for airflow and indoor air quality. Then we write down what it’ll take to fix it.
When to Schedule an Inspection
Book an inspection if your system is original to a pre-1990 home, if rooms heat or cool unevenly, or if you smell dust or mildew when the blower kicks on. In Reynoldsburg’s humid climate, condensation in unconditioned crawl spaces feeds mold growth in fibrous duct liner from 1970s-80s installations. Catching this early prevents costlier remediation later.
Residential Air Duct Cleaning in Reynoldsburg
Residential Air Duct Cleaning in Reynoldsburg is not a twenty-minute vacuum job. In the post-WWII subdivisions that define this city, proper cleaning means cutting access panels into hallway walls to reach undersized galvanized trunks, connecting negative-air HEPA machines to contain debris, and sealing every joint with mastic before we close up. A typical whole-home residential cleaning in Reynoldsburg runs $350 – $650 depending on system size, accessibility, and whether we find disconnected or crushed runs that need repair. We tarp and seal adjacent rooms, especially kitchens, before disturbing returns that share walls with pantry or food storage spaces.
The Full System Approach
We clean supply ducts, return ducts, trunk lines, and register boots as one interconnected system. Cleaning only the supplies and ignoring a crushed return branch is like changing one tire. Our Nikro negative-air machines maintain suction throughout the job so nothing escapes into your living space.
Sealing What We Find
Access panels are only half the job. In Reynoldsburg’s older homes, the original register boots leak at every joint after decades of thermal expansion. We seal with duct mastic, not tape that dries and fails. This is often where the real improvement in airflow and dust reduction comes from.
Trusted Brands We Service in Reynoldsburg
Our equipment roster includes Rotobrush rotary brush systems for agitating debris off metal duct walls, Nikro negative-air machines for containment, and HEPA filtration from Abatement Technologies. For homeowners who want to upgrade filtration after cleaning, we stock Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Guardsman media filters sized to fit standard residential returns. We carry common filter sizes for Reynoldsburg’s older homes, including the 16x25x1 and 20x25x1 formats typical of original furnaces in the Main Street corridor. If you need a less common size, we order it and return. No markup on filter swaps when we’re already on site for cleaning.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Reynoldsburg Homes
- Undersized galvanized trunks choked with rust and lint. Reynoldsburg’s 1960s-70s ranch homes were built with 2×4 and 3×4 inch supply ducts that cannot move adequate airflow by modern standards. After 50-plus years, internal rust and packed lint reduce capacity further. Cleaning requires cutting access panels, not vacuuming floor vents.
- Disconnected return pans dumping attic debris into kitchens. In older Reynoldsburg homes, the furnace closet often shares a wall with the kitchen. A disconnected return pan can channel 50 years of insulation, rodent droppings, and drywall dust straight into pantry air. We tarp and seal before touching these systems.
- Crushed or sagging branch runs in finished basements and crawl spaces. Central Ohio’s freeze-thaw cycles shift soil and settle supports, crushing flexible branch lines or pulling rigid ones apart. These runs are invisible from the main trunk but kill airflow to far bedrooms. Our camera finds them; our crew reconnects or replaces them.
- Condensation-fed mold in fibrous duct liner. Reynoldsburg’s humid summers and cold winters create condensation inside unconditioned attic and crawl space ducts. The fibrous liner installed in 1970s-80s systems soaks it up and grows mold. We document this on camera and recommend remediation or liner replacement as needed.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Reynoldsburg, OH
Whole-home residential duct cleaning in Reynoldsburg typically costs $350 – $650. Air duct inspection runs $150 – $250, credited toward cleaning if you proceed. Dryer vent cleaning, often booked alongside duct work, adds $120 – $180. Several factors move the needle: the number of supply and return vents, whether we need to cut access panels in hallway drywall, the presence of crushed or disconnected branch runs requiring repair, and the condition of fibrous liner that may need mold remediation rather than simple cleaning.
We do not quote per-vent prices. We price per system, in writing, before any work starts. The price does not move at the door. No teaser coupons, no bait-and-switch. You’ll know exactly what you’re paying and exactly what it covers before we touch a tool.
Call (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate. We’ll ask about your home’s age, square footage, and any airflow problems you’ve noticed, then give you a straight range.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Reynoldsburg
The original 2×4 and 3×4 inch galvanized supply ducts in Reynoldsburg’s 1960s-70s ranches are too small to clean through floor registers alone. We cut access panels in hallway walls to reach the trunk line, agitate debris with a Rotobrush rotary system, and extract it under negative air pressure. The panels are patched and painted before we leave. Call (361) 326-5060 for an exact quote – estimates are free.
Yes, and we take specific precautions because so many Reynoldsburg ranch homes have return pans sharing a kitchen wall. We tarp floors, seal pantry doors with plastic, and run negative-air HEPA machines before disturbing any return ductwork. In a recent job off Livingston Avenue, the homeowner told us the pantry finally stopped smelling like attic dust after we sealed it pre-cleaning. Call (361) 326-5060 to discuss your home’s layout.
We regularly find original galvanized trunk lines that have never been opened, packed with rust scale, lint, and occasionally rodent debris. We also find crushed branch runs to back bedrooms and disconnected returns in kitchen walls. We recently cleaned a 1968 brick ranch off Livingston Avenue where the original galvanized trunk line had never been opened. Using a Rotobrush and camera inspection, we found a crushed branch run to the back bedroom and a disconnected return pan in the kitchen wall; we cut two access panels, sealed every joint with mastic, and restored airflow to the far rooms. The homeowner said the pantry finally stopped smelling like attic dust after we tarped and sealed it before touching the return. Call (361) 326-5060 to schedule your own inspection.
Central Ohio’s humid summers and freeze-thaw winters create condensation inside unconditioned attic and crawl space ducts, which feeds mold growth in the fibrous liner common on 1970s-80s installations. Spring pollen from the region’s maple and oak canopy also loads return grilles earlier than in more open suburbs. These conditions mean Reynoldsburg ducts often need more thorough cleaning and better sealing than systems in drier climates. Call (361) 326-5060 for an assessment of your specific system.
Yes. Our Nikro negative-air machines and Abatement Technologies HEPA filtration meet NADCA guidelines for source removal and containment. We maintain negative pressure throughout the job, protect your furnishings, and document the before-and-after condition with video. Our 365-Day Done Right Promise covers every Reynoldsburg job in writing. Call (361) 326-5060 to book.
