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.
Aprilaire Air Duct Cleaning in Irving: What to Know First
CleanRun Duct Repair & Cleaning provides independent Aprilaire air duct cleaning in Irving, with most residential jobs completed in a single scheduled visit and a written price delivered before any panel comes off. Typical whole-system cleaning for Aprilaire-equipped homes in Irving runs $380-$620, depending on system size and what the camera shows inside the ductwork. We’re not affiliated with or authorized by Aprilaire; we operate as an independent Aprilaire service provider with documented photo records on every job and the 365-Day Done Right Promise backed in writing. If you own an Aprilaire air cleaner, humidifier, or ventilation system and want the ductwork behind it actually cleaned rather than vacuumed at the registers, call us at (682) 297-4068 for a free estimate.
How Aprilaire Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- Model 5000 Electronic Air Cleaner: The ionizing wires collect a hardened, baked-on layer that standard brush passes won’t dislodge. In Irving homes near the Elm Fork of the Trinity, we’ve found this buildup accelerated by the area’s calcareous dust - the same mineral content that leaves water spots on cars. We remove the cell assembly, soak it in a manufacturer-compatible solution, and photograph the conductivity test before reinstallation.
- Model 600 / 600M Humidifier: The water panel frame traps sediment from Irving’s municipal supply, which runs moderately hard at 120-180 ppm depending on the season. When the frame corrodes, it sheds particles into the downstream duct run. We replace the frame with OEM or a qualified aftermarket equivalent and clean the connecting ductwork with negative-pressure extraction - suction that pulls debris out rather than pushing it deeper.
- Model 8126X Ventilation Control: The intake duct in these systems often shows mold-like growth on the duct liner where humid outside air meets cooled interior surfaces. Irving’s shoulder seasons - March and October especially - create this condensation cycle repeatedly. We inspect with a borescope, document the extent, and clean with methods that won’t degrade the liner material.
- Model 1820 / 1830 Dehumidifier: The flex duct connections collapse at the first elbow when negative pressure from the blower exceeds the strap support. We’ve found this in Las Colinas townhomes where the unit is crammed into a utility closet with undersized returns. We rebuild the connection with rigid duct where space allows and reinforce the flex with proper supports.
- Model 1210 / 2210 / 3210 Media Air Cleaners: The MERV 16 media is so dense that homeowners often run it past its service life, loading the downstream ductwork with bypass debris. When we open the plenum - the large box that distributes air to the duct runs - we regularly find a 2-3 inch blanket of fine particulate that the filter never reached. We clean the plenum and all connected runs, then note the actual pressure drop so the customer knows when replacement is due.
Our Aprilaire Air Duct Cleaning Process

- 1
Written price first. We inspect the accessible components, identify your Aprilaire model, and deliver a written price under Haven Standard Clause 1 before any work begins. No exceptions.
- 2
Borescope documentation. Our technician inserts a camera into the supply and return duct runs - the pathways that carry conditioned air to and from your rooms - and photographs what we find. The photo doesn’t lie - let’s look at it together before we talk about next steps.
- 3
Equipment match. We select from our Rotobrush, Nikro, and Abatement Technologies equipment based on your duct material and Aprilaire component type. Aprilaire media cabinets require different access than electronic cells; we plan the approach before cutting any seal.
- 4
Negative-pressure extraction and contact cleaning. We seal the system, apply suction at the trunk line, and use mechanical brushes or compressed-air whips to dislodge debris. Every run is photographed after cleaning.
- 5
Component verification and reassembly. We reinstall Aprilaire elements with correct torque, verify airflow balance, and deliver your Documented Photo Record - before and after images of every duct run, included as standard.
- 6
Written guarantee. The 365-Day Done Right Promise is printed on your invoice. If the work is not right, we make it right.
Before
AfterWhat Aprilaire Air Duct Cleaning Costs in Irving
| Service | Typical Range |
|---|---|
| Whole-system air duct cleaning, Aprilaire media or electronic air cleaner in place | $380-$520 |
| Whole-system cleaning with Aprilaire humidifier or dehumidifier service included | $480-$620 |
| Plenum-only cleaning (Model 5000/1210/2210 heavy buildup) | $220-$340 |
| Video inspection with Documented Photo Record, no cleaning | $140-$180 |
What moves the price: system size (single-return vs. multi-zone), accessibility (crawl space vs. attic), and what the camera shows. A system with collapsed flex or heavy plenum buildup takes longer and costs more than a straightforward brush-and-extraction job. We do not quote per-vent pricing - one flat price per system, agreed in writing before we start. Call (682) 297-4068 for an exact quote; estimates are free.
Why Irving Homeowners Call CleanRun Duct Repair & Cleaning for Aprilaire Work

We’ve been running service calls throughout Irving since 2013, including jobs in the Las Colinas corridor where Aprilaire ventilation controls are common in newer construction. Tomas Reyes, our owner, keeps a Spanish-language explanation ready for customers who’d rather hear the details in their first language - no shortcuts taken either way. Every technician is background-checked and uniformed under Haven Standard Clause 3: Verified Crews. We also service Lennox, Trane, and Carrier systems, so when your Aprilaire is integrated with another brand’s furnace or heat pump, we don’t need a second contractor. The equipment roster - Rotobrush, Nikro, Abatement Technologies, Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Guardsman - is published here so you can verify it before we arrive. Since 2013, we’ve served 52,000+ homes with a written price before work started and a documented photo record when the crew left.
FAQs
No, independent air duct cleaning does not void the Aprilaire product warranty, provided the work is performed on the ductwork and not on the Aprilaire unit itself. If we remove an Aprilaire component for access, we reinstall it to factory specification with no modification. For any repair or replacement of the Aprilaire unit itself, we recommend contacting Aprilaire directly or an authorized dealer. Call (682) 297-4068 if you’d like us to inspect the ductwork and advise what falls outside the unit warranty.
OEM is our default for Aprilaire water panels, frames, and media - the fit is verified and the warranty chain stays intact. For some flex duct and hardware connections, we use quality aftermarket equivalents that meet the same pressure and temperature ratings. We note the origin of every part on your written invoice under Haven Standard Clause 1. If you have a preference, tell us before we write the price.
You receive a Documented Photo Record showing the inside of every duct run before and after cleaning, delivered as part of the standard job record. This is not an extra service or a marketing promise - it’s been our practice since our first job in 2013. If a company won’t show you the inside of your own ducts, you’re buying vacuum noise.
Every 3-5 years for most Irving homes, sooner if you have pets, recent renovation, or if the Aprilaire media has been run past its rated life. The Model 5000 electronic cell should be cleaned annually, but that’s a component service, not duct cleaning. We inspect and advise based on what the camera shows, not a calendar.
Yes. We’ve cleaned Aprilaire-integrated systems in Irving office suites, medical clinics, and retail spaces. Commercial jobs require larger equipment - often our Nikro or Abatement Technologies negative-air machines - and are quoted on-site after access inspection. The same written-price-first rule applies. Call (682) 297-4068 to schedule a commercial estimate.
