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.

AfterLennox Air Duct Cleaning in Fort Worth, CA | Hollis Air Duct Cleaning
We provide independent Lennox air duct cleaning and duct repair across Fort Worth, and the one thing that sets our work apart here is that we treat your Lennox system as part of your specific house, not as a generic unit. Fort Worth splits hard between century-old bungalows with original galvanized ducts and 1990s tract homes with heat-damaged flex runs, and a Lennox blower behaves very differently in each. If you own a Lennox in Arlington or Fort Worth, call us at (361) 326-5060 for a written price before any work starts.
Why Fort Worth Residents Choose Us for Lennox Service
Our techs have cleaned and repaired duct systems on thousands of Lennox units across Fort Worth, from 1990s builder-grade Merit Series machines to modern variable-capacity Signature Series equipment. We know how a Lennox cabinet interfaces with the ductwork, how the evaporator coil sits in relation to the return drop, and how restricted airflow shows up on these specific blowers. That means we diagnose the duct problem behind the symptom instead of handing you generic advice.
Roy Castellanos, our owner, grew up in Boyle Heights and learned HVAC fundamentals through the sheet metal and air conditioning program at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College before spending years doing hands-on duct work. He built Hollis Air Duct Cleaning in 2004 around one standard: leave the system cleaner than we found it, no upsells, no guesswork. When we walk into a Fairmount bungalow or a Keller tract home, we’re looking at how the duct system actually moves air through that specific Lennox unit.
Common Lennox Air Duct Cleaning Problems We Solve in Fort Worth
- Collapsed flex duct in North Fort Worth attics. 1990s and 2000s tract homes in the Alliance and Keller corridor were built with flexible mylar duct runs in unconditioned attics. Those attics routinely hit 140°F in a Fort Worth summer, and the heat degrades the mylar until it tears or collapses. When that happens, your Lennox blower pushes against a blocked run, pressures go out of balance, and the system trips on high-limit or short-cycles. We replace the damaged sections and rebalance the runs.
- Debris-packed galvanized ducts in Near Southside bungalows. Pre-1940 pier-and-beam homes in Fairmount, Near Southside, and Riverside often still have their original unlined galvanized ductwork connected to newer Lennox furnaces. Those ducts have been collecting dust, pollen, and sometimes microbial growth for decades, made worse by Fort Worth’s humid summers and year-round HVAC use. A standard cleaning won’t touch what’s baked into unlined metal; ours does.
- Dust bypass and biofilm on Lennox evaporator coils. Slab-on-grade homes with flex duct frequently have undersized or leaky return ducts. That pulls attic air, dust, and humidity across the Lennox evaporator coil, where biofilm forms and the coil loses capacity. In a Fort Worth August, that means a frozen coil and a house that won’t cool below 80. We clean the coil and seal the return leaks that caused it.
- Blower motor heat stress from attic-air infiltration. Lennox air handlers installed in unconditioned Fort Worth attics work hard all summer. When flex duct insulation degrades and attic air leaks into the return side, dust cakes onto the blower wheel, throwing it out of balance and stressing the motor. We clean the wheel, verify balance, and fix the leaks so the motor isn’t fighting the attic.
- Short-cycling from restricted airflow. Across all Fort Worth housing stock, a Lennox system that short-cycles is usually telling you the ducts are the problem, not the furnace. Restricted returns, collapsed flex, or a clogged filter rack all force the blower to overwork. We find the restriction and fix it before your high-limit switch fails.
Lennox Service in Fort Worth: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here’s something most duct cleaning companies in Fort Worth won’t tell you, because they either don’t know it or hope you won’t ask. In the older bungalow neighborhoods like Fairmount and Near Southside, the original 1920s to 1940s ductwork is often wrapped in asbestos-containing insulation. A lot of franchise operations aren’t licensed or equipped to handle that material, so they either skip the job, do a surface cleaning that leaves the problem intact, or, worse, disturb the insulation and create a hazard. When we clean a Lennox system in one of these homes, we follow strict abatement protocols and coordinate with licensed asbestos professionals before we touch anything wrapped in suspect material. Our Lennox sales & service experience across North Texas means we’ve seen this enough times to know exactly what to look for and when to stop.
Lennox Models & Products We Service in Fort Worth
We service every Lennox line found in Fort Worth homes. That includes the Merit Series (14ACX, ML14XC1) common in 1990s builder-grade tract homes, the Elite Series (EL16XC1, EL18XCV), and the higher-end Signature Series and Dave Lennox Signature Collection (XC21, SL28XC, SLP98V, EL296V). For critical components like blower motors and control boards, we use OEM Lennox parts so compatibility is never a question. For wear items like duct sealant, mastic, and flex duct, we use aftermarket materials that meet or exceed OEM specifications at a better price. We stock the common flex duct sizes and mastic locally for fast turnaround across Fort Worth.
Lennox Service Pricing in Fort Worth
Duct cleaning on a Lennox system in Fort Worth typically runs $450 to $850 for a full home, depending on the number of returns, the length of duct runs, and whether we’re dealing with flex, galvanized, or a mix. Evaporator coil cleaning adds $150 to $300. Duct sealing with mastic runs $600 to $1,200 depending on accessibility, which matters in pier-and-beam bungalows and tight attic spaces. Flex duct replacement is priced per run; a typical bedroom run is $180 to $320. Every estimate is written down before we start, and the price does not move at the door. Call (361) 326-5060 and Roy or one of our techs will walk you through what your system actually needs.

FAQs – Lennox Air Duct Cleaning in Fort Worth
Because unconditioned attics in North Fort Worth and Saginaw regularly exceed 130°F in summer, and that heat breaks down the mylar outer jacket on flexible duct until it splits or the inner liner collapses. A Lennox blower pushing against a torn or collapsed run creates pressure imbalances that trip the high-limit switch. We replace the damaged run with properly sized flex duct and rebalance the system so it stops happening. Call (361) 326-5060 if you’re seeing one room that never cools right, or ask about our Fort Worth Dryer Vent Cleaning service.
Yes. In Fairmount, Near Southside, and Riverside, original 1920s to 1940s ductwork is frequently wrapped in asbestos-containing insulation, and we follow strict containment protocols and coordinate with licensed asbestos professionals whenever we encounter it. Most franchise operations are not equipped to handle this safely. We won’t disturb suspect material without the right containment in place.
Every 3 to 5 years for most homes, but Fort Worth’s humid subtropical climate and year-round HVAC use mean dust, pollen, and microbial growth accumulate faster here than in drier markets. If you have pets, live near construction, or have a 1990s flex duct system that’s never been inspected, every 2 to 3 years is more realistic. We’ll tell you honestly whether your ducts need it or can wait.
Yes, and it’s one of the most common calls we get in July and August. When return ducts are undersized or leaky, the Lennox evaporator coil doesn’t get enough air across it, the coil temperature drops below freezing, and ice forms. Dirty coils and filters make it worse. We clean the coil, seal the return leaks, and verify airflow so the freeze doesn’t come back. Call (361) 326-5060 for an exact diagnosis.
We’re independent, which means we answer to you and to our own written standard, not a franchise manual. Our techs know Lennox cabinet, coil, and duct interface designs specifically, and we price in writing before work starts. If anything we do fails within 365 days, we come back at no charge under the Done Right Promise. That’s the whole job. Call (361) 326-5060 and we’ll tell you exactly what we’d do and what it costs.
