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 Los Angeles, CA | Hollis Air Duct Cleaning
Air Duct Cleaning in Los Angeles for Trane systems typically runs $450-$900 for a whole-home system, and we complete most jobs in a single visit. We’re an independent Trane service provider serving every corner of Los Angeles, from Boyle Heights bungalows to Valley ranch homes. What sets our Trane work apart here: we know when a cleaning must stop for asbestos abatement, and we won’t touch a system until that’s handled by a licensed hazmat crew. Call (361) 326-5060 for a written estimate before any work begins.
Why Los Angeles Residents Choose Us for Trane Service
Our technicians have spent years working on Trane systems across Los Angeles’ mix of historic bungalows, Valley tract homes, and Downtown high-rises. That matters because Trane cabinet geometry and coil configurations interact differently with each era’s ductwork. Roy Castellanos, who leads our crew, grew up in Boyle Heights and trained through the sheet metal and air conditioning program at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College. He’s spent his adult life in the mechanical trades across Los Angeles County, and he built this company on one standard: leave the system cleaner than we found it. No upsells, no guesswork.
We’re an independent provider. Not authorized, endorsed, or partnered with Trane. That’s an advantage for you: we recommend the right fix for your system, not the one a manufacturer program tells us to push. Every job gets a written price before we touch anything, and every job is covered by our 365-Day Done Right Promise. If the work fails within a year, we return at no charge. That’s in writing. For full details on our Trane sales & service experience, call us.
Common Trane Air Duct Cleaning Problems We Solve in Los Angeles
- Clogged evaporator coils on XR and XLi systems. During wildfire seasons, ash from events like the 2025 Palisades and Eaton Fires blankets Los Angeles and infiltrates return ducts. Santa Ana winds push that particulate through leaky duct connections in older homes, where it settles directly on Trane coils. We pull and clean those coils, then seal the return leaks that let the ash in.
- Failed blower motors in Trane TAM air handlers. Los Angeles’ mild climate means HVAC runs year-round. Systems rarely rest, and dust builds up on blower wheels until the motor burns out. We stock OEM-equivalent Trane-compatible blower motors locally, so most replacements happen same-week, not in two weeks waiting on a factory part.
- Flex duct collapse at Trane plenum connections. In 1920s Spanish bungalows and Craftsman homes around central Los Angeles, original metal trunks were often retrofitted with flex duct. When that flex sags or disconnects at the Trane air handler, pressure drops and coils freeze. We repair or replace the connection and rebalance airflow.
- Corroded or deteriorated duct insulation on Valley Trane systems. Many San Fernando Valley ranch homes from the 1950s and 60s still have original asbestos-wrapped ducts. If our video inspection finds friable asbestos, we stop work and refer you to a licensed abatement contractor. We do not clean through it. Period.
- Return duct leaks pulling attic and crawlspace air into Trane systems. Los Angeles homes with unsealed metal ducts draw in dust, rodent debris, and wildfire ash. We use negative-air machines and duct sealing mastic to close those leaks after cleaning, so the air your Trane system circulates actually comes from inside your home.
Trane Service in Los Angeles: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here’s the thing that makes Los Angeles unlike any other city for Trane duct work: within a 10-mile radius, our technicians shift between three completely different duct architectures. Central Los Angeles has 1920s bungalows with original gravity furnaces and no ductwork to clean, or replacement flex duct slapped onto unsealed metal trunks. The San Fernando Valley is full of 1950s and 60s ranch homes with original asbestos-wrapped ductwork, where what starts as a routine Trane cleaning becomes a hazardous-material abatement referral. Then Downtown and Century City have glassy high-rises with engineered central air systems and shared risers that require building access coordination before we even bring equipment up. No other city demands that a Trane duct tech be fluent in obsolete gravity systems, mid-century asbestos-wrapped ducts, and modern high-rise ventilation in one afternoon.
We were called to a 1950s ranch home in the San Fernando Valley with a Trane XR14 and original asbestos-wrapped ducts. The homeowner reported uneven cooling and a musty smell. Our tech ran a video inspection and found friable asbestos insulation plus a separated flex duct connection at the Trane air handler. We stopped work immediately and referred the abatement to a licensed hazmat team. After abatement cleared the space, we returned to reseal the plenum with mastic, reconnect the flex duct, and clean the evaporator coil. Balanced airflow came back without disturbing the remaining ductwork. That’s how it has to go in Los Angeles. You can’t shortcut asbestos, and we won’t.
Trane Models & Products We Service in Los Angeles
We service the full residential Trane lineup: XR series (XR13, XR14, XR16), XLi series (XLi15, XLi16, XLi19), TAM series air handlers, and XV variable-speed systems (XV18, XV20i). For parts, we stock OEM-equivalent Trane-compatible blower motors, coils, and cabinet components from trusted aftermarket suppliers, and we source genuine Trane parts when a customer prefers factory-original components. For Trane systems over 12 to 15 years old with major coil or compressor issues, we give an honest repair-vs-replace assessment rather than pushing a repair that won’t survive Los Angeles’ year-round duty cycle.
Trane Service Pricing in Los Angeles
Trane air duct cleaning in Los Angeles ranges from $450 to $900 for a whole-home system. Evaporator coil cleaning on a Trane XR or XLi typically runs $250 to $450. Duct sealing with mastic adds $300 to $600 depending on access. Video inspection is $150, and we credit that amount toward any service you book within 30 days.

FAQs – Trane Air Duct Cleaning in Los Angeles
No, not until the asbestos is handled by a licensed abatement contractor. If our video inspection shows friable asbestos insulation, we legally cannot disturb it and we won’t. We’ll stop work, document what we found, and refer you to a hazmat team. After abatement, we return to clean the ducts and seal the Trane plenum connections properly. Call (361) 326-5060 to schedule a video inspection first if you suspect asbestos in your Valley home.
Santa Ana winds force outdoor particulate through leaky return ducts in older Los Angeles homes, and that debris lands on your evaporator coil. That’s why our Dryer Vent Cleaning in Los Angeles also addresses airflow blockages that strain the whole system. A dirty coil can’t exchange heat, so it freezes. The fix is twofold: clean the coil and seal the return leaks that let the dust in. We do both on the same visit. For an exact quote on your system, call (361) 326-5060.
Yes. Downtown Los Angeles high-rises use shared ventilation risers and engineered central air systems, which means we coordinate building access, elevator bookings, and sometimes building engineer sign-off before bringing equipment up. The cleaning method is similar, but the logistics and the duct configuration are completely different from a single-family home. We’ve done enough Downtown work to handle the coordination without making it your problem.
For most Los Angeles homes, every 3 to 5 years is right. But after a significant wildfire season like the 2025 Palisades and Eaton Fires, we recommend a video inspection even if it hasn’t been three years. Ash infiltrates return ducts and settles on coils fast, and a $150 inspection is cheaper than a blower motor replacement. Call (361) 326-5060 to book an inspection and we’ll credit it toward any cleaning you schedule.
Usually yes, and we do it often in older Los Angeles bungalows where original metal trunks were retrofitted with flex. We remove the collapsed section, install new properly supported flex, reconnect it to the Trane plenum, and seal the joint with mastic. Replacing the whole system is rarely necessary for a flex duct failure. The repair typically runs $200 to $500 depending on access. For a written quote on your specific setup, call (361) 326-5060.
