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.

AfterAir Duct Cleaning Company in Palmer, TX
Hollis Air Duct Cleaning handles residential air duct cleaning, dryer vent cleaning, and duct sealing in Palmer, TX, where farm-field dust and aging housing stock create conditions we don’t see in the more urban parts of Ellis County. Most Palmer homes run forced-air systems through ductwork that has never been professionally cleaned, pulling in the same fine, reddish-brown silt that coats windowsills after a north wind crosses the blackland prairie. We’re part of the Garrison Partners family, and every Palmer job runs on The Garrison Standard: written price before we start, background-checked uniformed technicians, and a 365-Day Done Right Promise backed in writing. Call us at (361) 326-5060 to schedule a free estimate.
Why Palmer Homes Are Different
Palmer sits on the blackland prairie, surrounded by open farmland that generates a dust load unlike anything in denser Ellis County suburbs. After a dry north wind, we field calls from homeowners finding fresh reddish-brown dirt inside their supply vents, the same silt that settles on porches and window tracks across town. That agricultural dust doesn’t stay outside; it pulls straight into return grilles and packs into trunk lines.
The housing stock compounds the problem. Much of Palmer is modest older single-family homes, mid-century and ranch-style builds clustered around the small downtown, with newer rural residential construction on the outskirts. Many of those older homes still run original or retrofitted ductwork that has never seen a rotary brush or negative-air machine. Long, hot Palmer summers mean air conditioning runs hard for months, pushing that accumulated dust through living spaces continuously. Winter heating cycles do the same. The result is duct systems that look like they’ve been filtering a field, because in effect, they have.
We don’t treat Palmer like Waxahachie or Red Oak. The dust composition here is different, the access points in older systems are tighter, and the expectations are straightforward: show up, price it in writing, clean it properly, leave the site clean.
Our Main Palmer Services
Palmer homeowners call us most often for these three services. Each has its own dedicated Palmer page with full pricing, process details, and local specifics.
Air Duct Cleaning in Palmer
We clean residential duct systems in Palmer using Rotobrush rotary brush systems and Nikro negative-air machines to dislodge and extract the fine agricultural dust that settles in trunk lines and branch ducts. Older Palmer homes often have rectangular metal ductwork or early flex-duct retrofits that require careful access, not aggressive cutting. We inspect before we quote, write the price down before we touch anything, and run a post-cleaning check so you can see the difference. Air Duct Cleaning in Palmer covers full pricing and what to expect on appointment day.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Palmer
Lint buildup in dryer vents is a fire hazard, and Palmer’s mix of older ranch homes and newer rural builds means vent runs vary from short through-wall exits to long, snaking routes under slab or through crawl spaces. We clean the full run from dryer to termination, check airflow with a meter, and flag any crushed or damaged venting that needs replacement. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Palmer has full details on pricing and process.
Duct Sealing in Palmer
Leaky ductwork in Palmer’s older housing wastes conditioned air into attics and crawl spaces, and pulls that same dusty outside air back into the system. We seal accessible joints and seams with mastic and proper reinforcement, then pressure-test to verify the seal. In homes where ducts run through unconditioned space, this often delivers the most immediate comfort improvement of any service we offer. Duct Sealing in Palmer explains when sealing makes sense versus when cleaning is the priority.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning Company in Palmer
No permit is required for standard residential air duct cleaning or dryer vent cleaning in Palmer. Duct sealing that involves structural modification or new duct installation may need Ellis County review, but our standard sealing work, mastic application to existing joints, does not. We handle any permitting questions case by case before quoting.
We schedule Palmer-area appointments, including rural properties on FM 813 and County Road 402, within the same window as in-town jobs. Call (361) 326-5060 and we’ll give you the next available arrival window, typically within a few business days. We do not charge extra for rural Palmer addresses inside our standard Ellis County service area.
The dust will return if the source isn’t addressed, which is why we inspect your return air pathways and filter fit during every Palmer job. A properly sealed filter grille and correctly sized Aprilaire or Honeywell media filter catches the fine blackland silt before it enters the duct system. We show you what we found and what filter schedule makes sense for your home.
