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.

AfterTrane Air Duct Cleaning in Fresno, CA | Hollis Air Duct Cleaning
If you own a Trane system in Fresno, your ducts are working harder than almost anywhere else in California. We’re Hollis Air Duct Cleaning, an independent Trane service provider, and we clean and repair Trane duct systems across Fresno that have been through years of 100°F summers and valley air. The difference here isn’t our vacuum, it’s that we know what San Joaquin Valley heat does to Trane factory flex duct and cased coils. Call (361) 326-5060 for a written estimate before anyone touches your system.
Why Fresno Residents Choose Us for Trane Service
We’ve opened hundreds of Trane systems in Fresno, CA, from 1990s XR80 furnaces in central Fresno ranch homes to XV20i variable-speed air handlers in newer north Fresno builds. That matters because Trane’s duct design and coil placement create specific failure patterns, and those patterns look different after five or six Fresno summers. Our techs know Trane cabinet airflow paths, coil slab thickness, and factory flex-duct transitions. And since we’re independent, not a Trane authorized dealer, we’re not boxed into warranty procedures that ignore the actual problem in your attic.
Roy Castellanos, our owner, started in the mechanical trades through the sheet metal and air conditioning program at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College, then spent years doing hands-on duct work before founding Hollis. He built this company on one standard: leave the system cleaner than you found it, no upsells, no guesswork. Every job gets a written price before work begins, and a 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If it’s not right within a year, we come back and make it right at no charge.
Common Trane Air Duct Cleaning Problems We Solve in Fresno
- Cracked Trane cased coil pans in low-humidity heat. Fresno’s attic temperatures of 140 – 160°F cause Trane condensate pans to crack and coil fins to corrode, shedding debris into the supply trunk. We clean the coil and replace the pan when needed, not just vacuum around it.
- Shredded factory flex duct liner. In post-WWII ranch homes and 2000s stucco subdivisions, Trane’s factory flexible duct runs collapse or tear at the collar when attic heat cooks the inner liner. You see dust plumes at vents and feel weak airflow in far bedrooms. We video-inspect, then repair or replace the run.
- Unbalanced blower wheels caked with PM2.5. Trane XR-series blower wheels hold fine San Joaquin Valley particulate and wildfire-smoke residue, which throws the wheel out of balance and raises amp draw during the six-month cooling season. We pull the wheel, clean it, and recheck balance.
- Matted evaporator coils from dirty-filter bypass. Trane communicating air handlers with the factory low-voltage harness often mask dirty-filter bypass. By the time you notice, the evaporator coil is matted with valley dust and pollen. We clean the coil slab and recommend filter setup changes that prevent recurrence.
- Brittle mastic seals on the plenum. Extreme attic heat hardens Trane’s factory mastic until it cracks and separates at the plenum and branch collars. Conditioned air bleeds into the attic instead of your living room. We remove failed mastic and re-seal with Trane-compatible OEM mastic.
Trane Service in Fresno: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here’s the thing generic Trane pages don’t tell you. Fresno’s stucco tract homes in north and northeast neighborhoods routinely hit 140 – 160°F in the attic during summer, which cooks the inner liner of Trane factory flex duct and turns it brittle. We find liner flakes inside the supply trunk on almost every 2000s-era Trane system we open. That heat-driven liner degradation is rare in coastal California markets and it changes how we scope Air Duct Cleaning in Fresno: we inspect and often replace attic flex runs, not just vacuum them. In a 2003 stucco tract home near Copper and Maple in northeast Fresno, our crew cleaned a Trane XR13 system and found the factory flex duct liner shredded inside the supply trunk after years of 150°F attic heat. We video-inspected the run, replaced three collapsed flex branches with insulated R-8 flex, mastic-sealed the plenum, and cleaned the evaporator coil. The homeowner’s dust smell at the vents disappeared and static pressure dropped enough to feel stronger airflow at the far bedrooms. That’s the difference between cleaning around a problem and fixing it. If you’re in Fresno, and your Trane system is pushing 15 years old, this is likely your issue too.
Trane Models & Products We Service in Fresno
We work on the Trane equipment Fresno actually has installed. XR80 and XR90 single-stage gas furnaces dominate 1990s – 2000s tract homes from central Fresno westward. XB13 and XR13 air conditioners paired with Trane cased coils sit in thousands of 2000s stucco subdivisions. Newer north Fresno builds carry XV80 and XV95 variable-speed communicating furnaces, plus Trane American Standard-compatible cased coils and air handlers. We stock Trane-compatible OEM mastic, foil tape, and flex-duct collars for same-week Fresno turnaround. For blower wheels and coils, we use quality aftermarket or OEM equivalents based on availability and cost. On Trane systems older than 12 – 15 years with cracked heat exchangers or failed communicating boards, we’ll tell you straight: duct cleaning and sealing can buy time, but replacement usually wins on safety and efficiency given how hard Fresno summers run the equipment. We also offer our Dryer Vent Cleaning in Fresno for complete home safety.se systems.
We’re also your source for Trane sales & service insight, and we keep this same depth of knowledge across our entire Fresno service area.

FAQs – Trane Air Duct Cleaning in Fresno
No. In our experience across Fresno, Trane’s factory flex duct inner liner starts degrading after roughly 7 – 10 years of 140 – 160°F attic exposure, which is a regular summer condition here. The liner turns brittle, flakes into the supply trunk, and eventually the duct collapses at the collar. Coastal or milder climate Trane systems rarely see this. If your Fresno home was built in the 1990s or 2000s and still has factory flex, call (361) 326-5060 and we’ll video-inspect the runs before you spend money on a cleaning alone.
Every 3 – 4 years for most Fresno homes, and every 2 – 3 years if you live near any of the valley’s major agricultural or construction corridors. Fresno’s PM2.5 and ozone nonattainment status means your Trane system pulls in more fine particulate than almost any other California city, and the six-month cooling season keeps it cycling. If you have pets, allergies, or recent remodeling, shorten that window. Call (361) 326-5060 and we’ll tell you honestly whether your system needs it now or can wait.
Yes, and we see it in Fresno’s worst heat waves. When your Trane evaporator coil is matted with valley dust and pet dander, airflow drops far enough that the coil surface falls below freezing. The coil ices over, the system short-cycles, and your house won’t hold temperature. This often isn’t a refrigerant problem at all. We clean the coil and blower wheel, which frequently restores proper airflow and stops the icing. Call (361) 326-5060 before you pay for a refrigerant top-off you may not need.
Not always. If the mastic is intact and sealing properly, we clean around it and check for gaps with a video camera. But in Fresno, attic heat often cracks and separates the factory mastic at plenum and branch connections over time. When we find failed seals, we remove the old mastic, re-seal with Trane-compatible OEM mastic, and foil-tape the collars. You can’t clean your way past a leaky trunk. Call (361) 326-5060 and we’ll show you what’s actually sealing, what’s not, and what it costs to fix.
No. Duct cleaning does not void your Trane equipment warranty. As an independent provider, we use Trane-compatible mastic, foil tape, and collars, plus OEM-equivalent parts where specs match. We don’t alter the equipment itself in ways that would affect warranty coverage. If your system is under a Trane extended warranty, we’ll work within those terms and document everything we do. Call (361) 326-5060 with your model and serial number if you want a straight answer before booking.
