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.

AfterLennox Air Duct Cleaning in Queens, CA | Hollis Air Duct Cleaning
Lennox air duct cleaning in Queens costs $340 – $590 for a whole-system job in a typical two-family rowhouse or pre-war apartment, with the final number depending on how many air handlers and shared trunk runs are involved. We’re Hollis Air Duct Cleaning, offering Lennox sales & service as an independent provider, not manufacturer-affiliated or authorized. What makes our Lennox work different here: we know how Queens ductwork actually runs through these buildings, where the illegal cross-connections hide, and what salt air does to a Lennox coil in the Rockaways. Call us at (361) 326-5060 for a written quote before any work starts.
Why Queens Residents Choose Us for Lennox Service
Most duct cleaning crews can hook up a negative-air machine. Few of them can tell you why a Lennox Elite furnace in Jackson Heights keeps pulling basement air into a second-floor unit. We can. Roy Castellanos, our owner, came up through the sheet metal and air conditioning program at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College and has spent years doing hands-on duct work before starting Hollis. He trained our techs to map duct geometry before touching a single register. That matters in Queens, where two units often share one basement trunk and a mistake in one apartment becomes a smell in another. We arrive inside the quoted window, the price is written down before we start, and every job is covered by our 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing.
Our equipment includes Rotobrush rotary brush systems, Nikro negative-air machines, and filtration products from Honeywell, Aprilaire, Abatement Technologies, and Guardsman. Not hardware-store gear. We also carry OEM-style filters and mastic that meet Lennox specs for the models Queens owners actually run. We’re part of the Garrison Partners family, founded in 2004, and we work under The Garrison Standard: show up when we said, price it before we touch it, do it by the book. Clean ducts, straight answers, that’s the whole job.
Common Lennox Air Duct Cleaning Problems We Solve in Queens
Here’s what we actually find when we open up Lennox systems across Queens:
- Wet Healthy Climate media cabinets after basement flooding. Queens basements flood during heavy rain events, and we’ve seen it since Hurricane Ida. A Lennox Healthy Climate media cabinet sitting in a flooded basement absorbs water, then mold grows inside and the blower pushes spores straight into the supply plenum. We inspect, clean or replace the cabinet, and re-seal the media housing so it doesn’t happen again.
- Seam leaks on original galvanized return trunks. Pre-war apartments in Sunnyside and Woodside still run their original galvanized return ductwork. After 80 or 90 years, the seams split open and the system pulls dust, hallway odors, and neighbor smells directly into your Lennox furnace. We seal those seams with mastic and restore negative pressure where it belongs.
- High static pressure on variable-speed air handlers. Lennox Signature variable-speed air handlers are sensitive to static pressure. In Flushing two-family homes, we find years of construction dust packed into coils plus botched flex-duct transitions that choke airflow. The system overheats and short cycles. Cleaning the coil and correcting the flex runs brings static pressure back in line.
- Salt air corrosion on Rockaways evaporator coils. Queens coastal proximity matters. In the Rockaways, salt-laden air accelerates corrosion on Lennox evaporator coils and burner assemblies faster than inland. What starts as a coil leak or soot buildup migrates through the duct system and coats every register it passes.
- Shared trunk cross-contamination between units. Two-family brick rowhouses in Astoria, Jackson Heights, and Flushing often share one basement trunk serving both units. When returns are tied together without proper isolation, one unit’s cooking smells and dust end up in the other unit’s bedrooms. We isolate each unit’s runs before cleaning so you’re not paying to clean your neighbor’s air.
Lennox Service in Queens: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Queens has one of the highest concentrations of two-family brick rowhouses in the country, and in these homes the ductwork for both units often shares a single basement trunk. That changes how a Lennox cleaning job has to run. You cannot simply hook a negative-air machine to the furnace and start pulling. If the return for the second-floor unit is drawing air through the first floor’s hallway, or if an illegal basement conversion tapped into the shared return, then cleaning one side actively stirs up debris on the other side. Before applying negative pressure, our Queens Air Duct Cleaning team isolates each unit’s duct runs with temporary plugs and mastic. In a Lennox Elite system, where the air handler sits in a shared basement, this isolation step is the difference between a cleaning that holds and a cleaning that pushes dust right back a week later. Queens also pushes these buildings hard: humid summers and cold winters mean the blower runs nearly year-round. Whatever is in the ducts, the tenants are breathing all year. That’s why we camera-inspect before and after on every Lennox job we do in Queens, then hand you the footage so you’re not taking our word for it.

We work on the complete residential Lennox line across Queens. The Dave Lennox Signature Collection air handlers and furnaces with variable-speed blowers. The Lennox Elite series furnaces and air handlers common in Astoria and Forest Hills two-family conversions. The Lennox Merit series gas furnaces that show up in smaller garden apartments.

If we find corrosion or hidden mold that cleaning can’t fix, we tell you straight and recommend replacement. We don’t keep charging for repeat visits that won’t solve the problem.

FAQs – Lennox Air Duct Cleaning in Queens
No, and we won’t pretend otherwise. Ducts that legally or illegally cross into a neighbor’s unit are a shared-building issue, not a single-apartment cleaning job. We’ll map the duct layout with a camera, show you exactly where the crossovers happen, and give you a written recommendation for what can be cleaned within your unit and what needs building coordination. Call (361) 326-5060 and we’ll walk you through it before any work is scheduled.
Yes. Salt-laden air accelerates corrosion on Lennox evaporator coils, burner assemblies, and galvanized duct surfaces. In the Rockaways, we see Lennox coils fail several years earlier than identical systems inland. During a duct cleaning, we’ll inspect the coil and duct surfaces for corrosion and tell you whether cleaning extends the system’s life or whether replacement is the honest call. We also offer Dryer Vent Cleaning - Queens homeowners can bundle with their HVAC service. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate and we’ll check the coil while we’re inspecting the ducts.
Partially. Duct cleaning removes the dust and debris packed into the coil and duct walls, which drops some static pressure. But if the real problem is botched flex-duct transitions or undersized returns, cleaning alone won’t fix it. We’ll measure static pressure before and after, show you the numbers, and correct the duct transitions if they’re the culprit. We don’t clean and walk away if the system is still choking. Call (361) 326-5060 for a quote that includes a static pressure assessment on your Lennox system.
It depends on how long it sat wet, but in most Queens flood cases the media cabinet is rusted or holding mold and we recommend replacement. The media itself is never worth cleaning after floodwater exposure. We’ll show you the cabinet condition on camera, give you a replacement cost in writing, and clean the supply plenum behind it so you’re not pushing spores into the house. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free assessment of your Lennox Healthy Climate cabinet.
We use OEM-style and premium aftermarket parts that meet or exceed Lennox specifications for the models Queens owners actually have. For flex duct, mastic, and coil-cleaning supplies, we stock the same-grade materials a Lennox dealer would use. For larger components like blower motors or control boards, we’ll quote OEM parts and install them if you choose. The point is full transparency on what goes into your system and what it costs. Call (361) 326-5060 for a detailed parts quote before any work begins.
