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.

We provide independent Air Duct Cleaning - Jacksonville service for Trane systems, and the one thing that separates our work here is this: we clean and seal to the system’s actual design, not a generic checklist. Trane equipment behaves differently in this climate than it does in drier cities, and we’ve spent over a decade working on Trane systems in Jacksonville homes, from Riverside bungalows with original metal duct runs to Southside subdivisions with flex duct. Call (361) 326-5060 for a written, free estimate on Trane air duct cleaning, coil cleaning, or duct sealing in Jacksonville.
Why Jacksonville Residents Choose Us for Trane Service
We’re an independent Trane service provider, not manufacturer-affiliated or authorized. That matters because it means we work for you, not a corporate warranty department. We’ve cleaned and sealed Trane systems in Jacksonville for over ten years. Our technicians know how Trane’s cabinet gaskets, foil-faced insulation, and all-aluminum coils interact with this climate, so we clean to the system’s actual design. Roy Castellanos, our owner, picked up his HVAC fundamentals through the sheet metal and air conditioning program at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College and spent years in duct work before starting Hollis Air Duct Cleaning. He built this company around one thing: leaving a system cleaner than he found it, no upsells, no guesswork. When we roll up to a Trane XR16 in Riverside or an XV20i on the Southside, we know what to look for before we open the first panel.
Common Trane Air Duct Cleaning Problems We Solve in Jacksonville
- Biofilm on all-aluminum coils in XR and XB lines. Trane’s all-aluminum evaporator coils are good at resisting corrosion, but they’re not immune to biology. Jacksonville’s 70%+ summer humidity keeps the coil wet for months at a time, and biofilm forms fast. That biofilm then feeds mold spores into the supply ducts. We use genuine Trane-compatible coil cleaner formulated for all-aluminum coils rather than harsh acids that can etch the metal.
- Delaminating foil-faced insulation in older air handler cabinets. Trane air handlers from the 2000s – 2010s often use fiberglass-backed foil insulation. Jacksonville attic heat and humidity make that insulation peel away from the cabinet, shedding fibers into the duct system and creating pockets where mold blooms. We remove the loose material and seal the cabinet so it stays put.
- Pollen and debris pulled through leaking metal ducts in historic neighborhoods. Older Trane metal duct systems in Riverside and Avondale bungalows leak heavily at trunk-and-branch takeoffs. A wet spring fills the air with oak and pine pollen, and those leaky takeoffs pull it straight into the return trunks. The pollen coats the interior of the ductwork, and once it’s in there, it keeps circulating until someone removes it. We pull it out and seal the leaks with mastic so it doesn’t come back.
- Sensitive variable-speed blowers running hot from static pressure problems. Trane XV18 and XV20i variable-speed systems don’t tolerate high static pressure. A crushed flex duct or a return plenum that was never sealed to Trane’s spec can overload the blower. The blower then runs hot, baking dust onto the wheel until it’s caked hard enough to affect airflow. We identify the restriction, clean the wheel, and seal the return so the system breathes the way Trane designed it.
- Post-flood mold hidden in ducts on flood-prone streets. After Hurricane Irma in 2017, many homes in San Marco and Riverside took on water, and we’re still finding mold in ducts that were never cleaned after the flood. If water sat in a duct system even once, it left spores behind. They don’t go away on their own. We clean post-flood systems with negative-air containment so the spores are removed, not just disturbed.
Trane Service in Jacksonville: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Jacksonville’s historic Riverside and Avondale bungalows often still have Trane systems connected to original metal duct runs that were later tapped for 1950s – 60s renovations. We regularly pull plaster dust and fragments of old knob-and-tube wiring insulation out of return trunks in these homes, debris that would not be present in the newer Southside subdivisions where flex duct dominates. A Trane XR16 pulling air through an original 1930s return trunk in Avondale is pulling air through decades of renovation debris before it ever reaches the filter. That debris grinds against the blower, collects on the coil, and circulates through the house. In a 1928 bungalow off Park Street in Riverside, we opened the return trunk to a Trane XR16 and found a half-inch layer of plaster dust and gray knob-and-tube insulation fragments that had been circulating through the supply ducts for years. After HEPA-vacuuming the trunk, cleaning the all-aluminum coil, and mastic-sealing the leaky takeoffs, the homeowner noticed the musty smell gone within a day and the system’s static pressure dropped enough that the blower ran noticeably quieter. That’s Jacksonville-specific work. A tech who only does flex duct in new construction wouldn’t know to look for it.
Trane Models & Products We Service in Jacksonville
We clean and seal duct systems connected to Trane XR14 and XR16 air conditioners, XB13 and XB16 units, XV18 and XV20i variable-speed systems, and Trane Tempo and ComfortLink communicating thermostats paired with these systems. Our approach to parts is straightforward: we use OEM-equivalent gaskets, foil tapes, and mastic to match Trane’s cabinet and plenum profiles. We don’t substitute generic hardware-store materials that will fail in Jacksonville humidity. When we find a Trane system with a failed coil or heat exchanger beyond cleaning, we’ll tell you plainly whether a $1,200 – $2,500 repair is worth it or if replacement is the better call. We clean what can be cleaned, seal what can be sealed, and we don’t sell you a repair that won’t hold.

Whole-home air duct cleaning for a Trane system in Jacksonville typically runs $300 – $600 depending on the home’s square footage, the number of returns, and how long it’s been since the last cleaning.

FAQs – Trane Air Duct Cleaning in Jacksonville
Yes, and sooner than later. When foil-faced fiberglass insulation delaminates from a Trane air handler cabinet in Jacksonville attic heat, it sheds fibers into the airstream. Those fibers collect in the ductwork and on the coil. We remove the loose insulation, seal the cabinet interior, and then clean the ducts so the loose fibers are gone for good. Call (361) 326-5060 and we’ll inspect the cabinet and give you a written price.
Jacksonville’s spring oak and pine pollen loads are heavy, and a return duct pulling from the garage is pulling that pollen straight into your system every time the blower runs. The filter catches some of it, but what gets past the filter coats the coil and the inside of the supply runs. If you’ve never had the ducts cleaned after years of Jacksonville pollen seasons, it’s in there. We clean it out and can seal the return so it pulls less from the garage and more from the conditioned space. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate.
Yes. Trane XV20i and XV18 variable-speed systems are sensitive to static pressure. A crushed flex duct, an undersized return, or a return plenum that was never sealed to Trane’s spec will make the blower work harder than it should. We check static pressure before and after cleaning because the goal is to restore the system to the airflow Trane designed it for. We clean the blower wheel, seal the leaks, and confirm the static pressure dropped before we leave. Call (361) 326-5060 if your variable-speed Trane is running louder than it used to.
Yes, if the mold is in the ductwork, cleaning it with negative-air containment will remove the source of the smell. If water sat in the ducts after the flood, the spores are still there even after the ducts dried. We contain the system while we clean so spores aren’t blown through the house, and we treat the coil and cabinet so the whole system is addressed, not just the visible runs. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate and we’ll tell you exactly what we found and what it costs to fix.
If the filter was recently changed and your Arlington Trane system is still pulling in dust, the return ducts likely have leaks at the takeoffs or boots. Jacksonville’s older 1950s – 60s ranch homes in Arlington often have original metal duct runs with seams that have opened over decades. Those leaks pull unfiltered attic air, pollen, and dust straight into the system. We seal the leaks with mastic and clean the ducts so the dust stops cycling through. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate.
