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 Quality & Sanitizing in Irving: What to Know First
We provide independent Aprilaire air quality and sanitizing service throughout Irving, from the Las Colinas corridor to the older ranch-style homes near Valley Ranch. Most Aprilaire sanitizing jobs - mold treatment, bacteria remediation, or UV light installation - run between $340 and $780 for a complete system, and we deliver a written price before any panel comes off. The work is backed by our 365-Day Done Right Promise, documented with before-and-after photos of every duct run, and scheduled at a time that works for your household, not ours. Call (682) 297-4068 for a free estimate, or bring us a competitor’s written quote for a free second opinion under Haven Standard Clause 1.
This page is for Irving homeowners who already own an Aprilaire air cleaner, humidifier, or ventilation system and need sanitizing, odor removal, or allergen reduction - not a sales pitch for equipment you don’t have.
How Aprilaire Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- Model 5000 Electronic Air Cleaner: The ionizing wires collect a conductive glaze from cooking oils and pet dander that reduces collection efficiency by 40% or more. We remove the unit, clean the ionizing assembly with a manufacturer-specified solution, and treat the downstream ductwork for the bacterial biofilm that grows on the trapped organic material. The photo doesn’t lie - let’s look at it together before we talk about next steps.
- Model 800 Steam Humidifier: Scale buildup on the electrode canister creates a breeding ground for Legionella-family bacteria, especially in Irving’s hard water conditions. We descale or replace the canister, sanitize the distribution tubing with a hospital-grade biocide, and photograph the interior of the connected duct run for mineral deposits that indicate ongoing risk.
- Model 8126X Ventilation Controller: The fresh-air intake damper sticks partially open, pulling unfiltered attic air and pollen directly into the return plenum (the main duct that feeds your furnace). We clean the damper actuator, sanitize the intake duct, and install a secondary filtration stage if the original spec lacks one - common in 2016-2019 Irving builds where builders minimized costs.
- Model 1850/1870 Dehumidifiers: The condensate drain pan harbors mold that recirculates through the supply ducts, producing a musty odor that standard filter changes won’t touch. We remove the pan, treat it with an EPA-registered fungistat, and run negative-pressure extraction (suction that pulls contaminants out of the system rather than pushing them deeper) on the connected ductwork.
- Model 1210/2210/3210 Media Air Cleaners: The MERV 13 media becomes a microbial culture plate in Irving’s humid months when homeowners forget the 6-12 month replacement interval. We find filters untouched since the Obama administration doing more harm than good - the compressed media restricts airflow, raises static pressure, and grows mold on the downstream side. We replace the media, sanitize the housing, and document the pressure differential before and after.
Our Aprilaire Air Quality & Sanitizing Process

- 1
Visual inspection with photo documentation. We photograph every accessible duct run, the air cleaner housing, and the humidifier or ventilator interior before touching anything. You get these photos as part of the standard job record.
- 2
Written scope and price. We specify OEM versus quality aftermarket parts (Guardman biocides, Nikro HEPA equipment) and deliver a single flat price per system - no per-vent add-ons, no surprises. Haven Standard Clause 1: written price before work starts, every time.
- 3
Containment and negative-pressure extraction. We seal registers and pull contaminants out through Abatement Technologies portable HEPA units rather than blowing them into your living space.
- 4
Targeted sanitizing treatment. Mold treatment, bacteria sanitizing, or odor removal is applied based on what the inspection found - not a standard spray everywhere. Aprilaire-specific components are handled with warranty-safe practices: no corrosive chemicals on electronic cells, no high-pressure washing on steam canister seals.
- 5
Post-treatment verification and photo record. We photograph the same duct runs after cleaning, test static pressure and airflow, and leave you with a written summary of what was found, what was done, and what to monitor.
- 6
365-Day Done Right Promise activation. The written guarantee goes into your job file, not a drawer. If odor, visible growth, or airflow issues return within a year, we make it right.

Why Irving Homeowners Call CleanRun Duct Repair & Cleaning for Aprilaire Work

We’ve been running service calls in Irving since 2013, including repeat jobs in the Las Colinas corridor where the 2015-2020 build boom left a lot of Aprilaire equipment underspecified for the actual duct loads. Tomas Reyes, our owner, pulls inspection photos before any cleaning starts and leaves a written summary of exactly what the camera showed: settled dust, mold-like growth on duct liner, collapsed flex sections, whatever it is.
Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed under Haven Standard Clause 3: Verified Crews. They carry professional-grade equipment from Rotobrush, Nikro, Abatement Technologies, Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Guardsman - brands you can look up before agreeing to anything. We also service Lennox, Trane, and Carrier systems, so if your Aprilaire is integrated with another manufacturer’s furnace or heat pump, we don’t hand you off.
Every job ends with a Documented Photo Record and the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. Not a policy. A guarantee.
FAQs
No, when done properly. As an independent Aprilaire service provider, we use manufacturer-compatible biocides and avoid corrosive chemicals on electronic components. Warranty claims are typically denied only when unqualified technicians damage seals or wiring - we document our process and materials for your records.
Call (682) 297-4068 if you have a specific warranty concern - we can review your model’s coverage before scheduling.
Replace if the unit is over 12 years old and requires major component replacement (control board, fan motor, or heat exchanger on integrated models). Repair if it’s under 10 years and the issue is isolated to cleaning, calibration, or a replaceable part like a canister or media frame. We give you both numbers in writing under our Free Second Opinion policy.
Call (682) 297-4068 for an inspection and honest assessment.
You receive before-and-after photos of every duct run, a written scope of work, and post-treatment airflow and static pressure readings. If we treated for mold, we note the EPA registration number of the biocide applied. This documentation is standard on every CleanRun job - not an upgrade.
Call (682) 297-4068 to schedule a documented service.
Media air cleaners: every filter change, or 6-12 months. Electronic air cleaners and humidifiers: annually, or immediately if you detect musty odor or see visible growth. Ventilation controllers: every 2-3 years unless you notice increased allergy symptoms or dust accumulation near the fresh-air intake. Irving’s pollen season and hard water accelerate these timelines.
Call (682) 297-4068 for a schedule tailored to your system and local conditions.
Yes. We stock common Aprilaire consumables - media, canisters, UV lamps - and source OEM electronic components within 24-48 hours through our distributor network. For urgent sanitizing needs, we can treat the system with compatible aftermarket products while OEM parts are on order, with your approval and full documentation.
Call (682) 297-4068 to check availability for your model.
