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 HVAC Cleaning in Irving: What to Know First
We provide independent Aprilaire HVAC cleaning in Irving for homeowners who want the work documented, not just described. A typical evaporator coil or blower cleaning runs $280-$520 for most Aprilaire systems we see in Las Colinas and Valley Ranch homes, and we put that price in writing before any panel comes off. Every job ends with a photo record of what was inside your air handler, delivered as part of the standard job file.
This page is for Aprilaire owners in Irving who’ve noticed weak airflow, frozen coils, or a blower that sounds like it’s working harder than it should. We’re not affiliated with Aprilaire - we’re an independent service provider - and we don’t sell new systems. We clean, repair, and restore what’s already installed. Call (682) 297-4068 for a free estimate with a written price.
How Aprilaire Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- Model 5000 Electronic Air Cleaner: The ionizing wires and collector plates load with fine particulate faster than passive media filters, especially during Irving’s spring pollen surges. When the cells aren’t cleaned annually, airflow drops and the power supply strains. We remove the cells, wash them in a dedicated solution, inspect the contact points for corrosion, and test output before reassembly.
- Model 600/600M Humidifiers: The water panel evaporator collects mineral scale from North Texas hard water, and the distribution tray clogs with sediment. The symptom is dry air in winter even with the humidistat calling. We descale the tray, replace the water panel with OEM or equivalent, and verify the saddle valve isn’t restricting flow.
- Model 8126X Ventilation Controller: The motorized damper seizes from dust accumulation in attic-mounted installations common in Irving’s newer construction. The unit runs continuously or not at all. We clean the damper assembly, check the fresh-air intake screen for debris, and recalibrate the runtime percentage to match actual occupancy.
- Model 1850/1850F Dehumidifiers: The evaporator coil fins flatten from years of dust loading, reducing latent capacity until the unit can’t hold 50% RH in summer. We clean the coil with foaming cleaner and low-pressure rinse, check the condensate pump for algae, and measure amp draw on the compressor to flag early failure.
- Model 1210/2210/3210 Media Air Cleaners: The MERV 13 media is often installed backward or left too long, letting bypass debris coat the downstream evaporator coil. We photograph the media orientation, clean the coil if needed, and note the correct replacement size - the 1210 takes 16x25x4, the 2210 takes 20x25x4 - on the written job record for the homeowner’s reference.
Our Aprilaire HVAC Cleaning Process

- 1
Written price first. We inspect the Aprilaire component, identify the model, and deliver a fixed price in writing before any work starts - Haven Standard Clause 1. No per-vent math, no add-ons after arrival.
- 2
Photo documentation. Tomas pulls inspection photos before any cleaning starts. The photo doesn’t lie - let’s look at it together before we talk about next steps.
- 3
Component-specific cleaning. We match the method to the Aprilaire part: negative-pressure extraction for media housings, foaming cleaner with controlled rinse for coils, contact-safe solvent for electronic cells. We use Nikro and Abatement Technologies equipment, named so you can verify the specs independently.
- 4
OEM or quality aftermarket parts. For water panels, media, and contact kits, we stock OEM Aprilaire and equivalent-grade aftermarket. We explain the difference in writing, with warranty implications, and let the homeowner choose.
- 5
Post-clean testing. We measure static pressure, verify amp draw on motors, and confirm the Aprilaire component is communicating with the main HVAC control board. The test data goes on the job record.
- 6
Deliverables. You get the before-and-after photo record, the written scope, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise - in writing, not as a verbal assurance.

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

We’ve been running service calls throughout Irving, including the Las Colinas corridor, since expanding our operation to the Dallas-Fort Worth region. Tomas Reyes grew up in the Bronx, picked up his HVAC fundamentals at Bronx Community College, and spent years doing hands-on duct work before establishing CleanRun in 2013. That background shows up in how we document jobs - every duct run photographed, every finding described in plain language, Spanish explanation available when preferred.
The 365-Day Done Right Promise means the work is accountable long after the truck leaves. Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed under Haven Standard Clause 3: Verified Crews. We also service Lennox, Trane, and Carrier systems, so we’re not guessing when your Aprilaire component interfaces with another brand’s board. Equipment on every truck includes Rotobrush, Nikro, Abatement Technologies, Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Guardsman - names you can look up before you agree to a price.
FAQs
No - professional cleaning by a qualified technician does not void your Aprilaire warranty, provided no parts are modified or substituted with incompatible aftermarket items. We document exactly what was done and what parts were used, so you have a record if warranty questions arise later. Call (682) 297-4068 if you’d like us to review your warranty status before scheduling.
Clean when the component functions but airflow or capacity has dropped; replace when the housing is cracked, the control board has failed, or repair parts are discontinued. We make this call with you after inspection, not before, and we put both options in writing with prices. Our free second opinion applies if you’ve already been told to replace.
We stock common Aprilaire water panels, media, and contact kits on our trucks. For less common items - certain power supplies, older damper motors - we source through regional distributors with typical turnaround of 24-48 hours. We tell you the lead time in writing before you commit.
Media air cleaners: every 6-12 months depending on MERV rating and household conditions. Electronic air cleaners: annual cell washing minimum. Humidifiers: before each heating season, with water panel replacement. Dehumidifiers: every 2-3 years in typical Irving conditions, more often if the home has ongoing dust or pet hair loading. We note the recommended interval on your job record.
Verify the unit has power, the filter or media is seated correctly, and the humidistat or control is set to call for operation. Beyond that, we don’t recommend disassembling Aprilaire components - the electronic cells carry high voltage even when disconnected, and coil fins damage easily. We inspect for free and put the findings in writing.
