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 Richland Hills, TX
Air duct cleaning in Richland Hills typically runs $350 – $650 for a whole-home system, with most jobs scheduled within a few days and completed in three to five hours. We’re Hollis Air Duct Cleaning, and we dispatch crews to Richland Hills from our Dallas-Fort Worth office. The work here is different from newer suburbs because nearly every home was built between the late 1950s and 1970s, meaning we spend a lot of time in attics with original galvanized steel ducts, crumbling external insulation, and early flex runs that need more than just a surface cleaning. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free written estimate.
Why Richland Hills Homes Are Different
Richland Hills is a fully built-out, landlocked city with no new housing starts, so every job we do here is restoration work on aging systems. Most houses are single-story ranches and traditional homes from the 1950s through the 1970s, and many still run on original galvanized steel ductwork or early flexible ducts that were never designed for fifty-plus years of North Texas heat.
The attics here are vented and brutal. From May through September, they bake. That heat degrades duct insulation from the outside while the HVAC system pulls dust, pollen, and humidity through from the inside. We regularly find external insulation that crumbles at a touch, rodent intrusion in decades-old fiberglass, and mold spotting where humidity has collected in low spots. In the 1960s-era neighborhoods near the city center, we often recommend partial duct replacement or sealing alongside cleaning because the material itself is failing.
The humid subtropical climate means systems run hard for five months straight. By the time Richland Hills homeowners call us, it’s rarely a simple maintenance clean. It’s a restoration decision: what can be salvaged, what needs replacing, and how to stop the energy loss and indoor air quality problems that come from sixty-year-old ductwork.
Our Main Richland Hills Services
Richland Hills homeowners call us for three jobs, each with its own page and pricing details below.
Air Duct Cleaning in Richland Hills
We clean the full supply and return system with a Rotobrush rotary brush system and, when needed, a Nikro negative-air machine to pull dislodged debris out of the house rather than letting it resettle. In Richland Hills, this usually means working around original galvanized trunk lines, early flex branch runs, and insulation that may need replacement before we can safely agitate the duct walls. We photograph the before condition and show you the after. Air Duct Cleaning in Richland Hills has full pricing and scheduling details.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Richland Hills
Dryer vent cleaning here often involves routing through walls and soffits in ranch-style homes where the laundry room sits at the far end of a long single-story plan. Lint buildup is worse in these older layouts because the vent runs are longer and may include multiple elbows. We use rotary brushes and high-velocity air tools to clear the full run, then verify airflow with a meter. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Richland Hills covers our full process and what it costs.
Duct Sealing in Richland Hills
Duct sealing in Richland Hills is often the most cost-effective job we do here. Sixty-year-old metal ducts have separated at seams, and early flex has torn at connection points. We apply duct sealing mastic and mechanical fasteners to restore pressure balance, then test with a duct blaster to confirm we’ve stopped the leaks. This can drop energy bills measurably in homes where the attic has been hemorrhaging conditioned air for decades. Duct Sealing in Richland Hills explains when sealing makes more sense than replacement.
