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.

AfterCarrier Air Duct Cleaning in Fort Worth, CA | Hollis Air Duct Cleaning
Carrier air duct cleaning in Fort Worth runs between $450 and $850 for a full system, depending on home size and duct condition. We’re Hollis Air Duct Cleaning, an independent Carrier service provider serving Fort Worth since 2004, and the work here is different because the housing stock is different. Century-old bungalows in Fairmount sit 15 miles from 2000s tract homes in the Alliance corridor, and each one demands a different approach. Call (361) 326-5060 for a written quote before anyone touches your system.
Why Fort Worth Residents Choose Us for Carrier Service
Roy Castellanos grew up in Boyle Heights and spent years in the mechanical trades across Los Angeles County before starting Hollis Air Duct Cleaning. He trained through the sheet metal and air conditioning program at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College, then put in years of hands-on duct work. That background means something specific in Fort Worth: we’ve worked on Carrier systems installed in 1925 pier-and-beam bungalows and Carrier systems stuffed into 2005 slab-on-grade attics, and we know exactly where each one fails.
We’re independent. Carrier doesn’t authorize us, and we don’t pretend otherwise. What we bring instead is focused field experience with Carrier equipment across Fort Worth’s extreme housing split. You get the same written price, the same 365-Day Done Right Promise, and the same background-checked, uniformed crew whether your Carrier Infinity heat pump is two years old or your Carrier Comfort furnace has been pushing air through original galvanized ductwork since Truman was president. For the full picture on our Carrier work, see Carrier sales & service.
Common Carrier Air Duct Cleaning Problems We Solve in Fort Worth
- Collapsed flex duct in North Fort Worth attics. Flexible mylar duct runs installed in 1990s and 2000s tract homes along the Alliance and Keller corridor sag, tear, or collapse when attic temperatures pass 140°F. That’s a regular summer day here. When flex duct collapses, airflow drops, your Carrier system short-cycles, and insulation fibers get pulled onto the evaporator coil. We repair or replace the flex runs and then clean the whole system so the coil isn’t wearing insulation as a blanket.
- Decades of debris in pre-1940 galvanized ductwork. Original unlined ducts in Near Southside and Fairmount bungalows collect dust, plaster dust from decades of remodels, and debris that clogs the blower wheel on Carrier furnaces and air handlers. Restricted return air makes the system work harder and cool less. We clean the full duct path and the blower assembly.
- Microbial growth on Carrier evaporator coils. Fort Worth’s humid subtropical climate means your coil is wet most of the year. When return ducts are undersized or leaky, that moisture sits even longer, and biofilm forms. The result is a musty smell that hits every time the blower kicks on. We clean the coil as part of full system cleaning, not as a separate upsell.
- Asbestos-wrapped duct insulation around Carrier air handlers. In Fort Worth’s older bungalow neighborhoods, original 1920s through 1940s ductwork is often wrapped in asbestos-containing insulation. When that insulation deteriorates near the air handler, fibers can enter the airstream. Most franchise duct-cleaning operations aren’t licensed or equipped to handle it. We are, and we contain it before any cleaning begins.
- Blower wheels packed with dust after single-stage Carrier Comfort systems run year-round. Fort Worth doesn’t really have an off season. Your HVAC runs in summer for cooling and winter for heat, which means the blower wheel accumulates dust faster than in cities with six months of shutdown. A packed blower wheel reduces airflow and strains the motor. We pull it, clean it, and reinstall it as part of the job.
Carrier Service in Fort Worth: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here’s a checkable fact that shapes this work: Fort Worth’s pre-1940 bungalows in Near Southside, Fairmount, and Riverside were built with pier-and-beam foundations and original galvanized or unlined ductwork that runs through crawl spaces and wall cavities, not attics. That’s a completely different animal from the 1990s and 2000s slab-on-grade tract homes in North Fort Worth and Saginaw, where flexible mylar duct sits in unconditioned attics that hit 130 to 140 degrees every summer. A franchise duct-cleaning model that treats every home the same will fail in one of these two scenarios, every time. Carrier owners in the bungalows need someone who understands asbestos-wrapped insulation and crawl space access. Carrier owners in the tract homes need someone who can tell the difference between a duct that needs cleaning and a duct that needs replacing. We do both from the same van.
Carrier Models & Products We Service in Fort Worth
We service the full Carrier residential lineup: the Infinity series with Greenspeed heat pumps and variable-speed furnaces, the Performance series running 14 to 17 SEER2, and the Comfort series single-stage ACs and furnaces. For critical components like blower wheels and coils, we use OEM or OEM-equivalent parts to keep performance where Carrier designed it. For common wear items, we use high-quality aftermarket parts when they meet or exceed OEM spec. Here’s the honest repair-versus-replace stance we bring to every Fort Worth job: if your Carrier unit is under 10 years old and the repair is straightforward, we fix it. If it’s older and facing multiple major failures, we’ll tell you replacement is the smarter money. We don’t push either way.
Carrier Service Pricing in Fort Worth
Full system cleaning in Fort Worth typically runs $450 to $650 for a single system under 2,500 square feet, and $650 to $850 for larger homes or two-system setups. Flex duct repair or replacement adds $150 to $400 per run depending on length and attic access. Video inspection runs $75 to $150 as a standalone service, and it’s included when you book full system cleaning. What drives the cost here: home age, duct type, number of returns, and whether asbestos containment is required. Your written estimate covers all of it before any work starts.

FAQs – Carrier Air Duct Cleaning in Fort Worth
Yes. The Infinity’s variable-speed blower is sensitive to airflow changes, which is why we use negative-air machines and rotary brush systems sized to the duct run rather than forcing high pressure through the system blind. For more on how we handle Carrier equipment specifically, see Carrier sales & service. The blower is protected throughout, and we verify airflow before and after cleaning.
Yes. We replace the damaged flex runs with properly sized, insulated duct, then clean the entire system including the coil and blower wheel. Collapsed flex is one of the most common problems we see in the Alliance and Keller corridor. When it’s repaired correctly, your Carrier system stops short-cycling and your cooling bill levels out. Call (361) 326-5060 for a written quote.
Yes. Fort Worth’s Fairmount and Near Southside neighborhoods have original 1920s through 1940s ductwork that’s often wrapped in asbestos-containing insulation. We’re equipped and trained to contain it safely before cleaning, which most franchise duct-cleaning operations cannot do. If you suspect asbestos in your ductwork, call us first and we’ll assess it before anyone disturbs the material.
Every 3 to 5 years for most Fort Worth homes. The humid subtropical climate means your HVAC runs year-round, and attics that hit 130 to 140 degrees accelerate flex duct deterioration and dust accumulation. If you have pets, allergies in the household, or you’ve done remodeling recently, lean toward 3 years. Fairmount and Near Southside bungalows with original ductwork should be inspected more often because those ducts have decades of history in them.
No. Duct cleaning does not void a Carrier equipment warranty. The warranty covers manufacturing defects in the equipment itself, not the condition of the ductwork. What can void a warranty is improper installation or unauthorized modification of the equipment. We’re an independent provider, not Carrier-authorized, and we work on the duct system and accessible components without altering the equipment in ways that would trigger warranty issues.
