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 in Garland, TX
HVAC cleaning in Garland typically runs $350-$650 for a whole-system job, with air quality and sanitizing work adding $200-$450 depending on whether mold treatment or UV light installation is needed. Garland’s post-war housing stock and Blackland Prairie clay soil create duct problems we don’t see in newer North Texas suburbs: original fiberglass-lined ductwork from the 1950s-1970s, crumbled liner debris, and disconnected runs from seasonal soil shift. Call (682) 297-4068 for a written estimate before any work starts.
Why Garland Homes Are Different
Garland’s residential core was built during the city’s primary growth surge between 1955 and 1980. Most homes in South Garland, central Garland, and neighborhoods east of downtown are 1,200-1,800 square foot brick-veneer ranch houses with their original attic-run ductwork still in place. That means fiberglass-lined sheet metal or early flex duct now 45-65 years old, with liner that has often crumbled off the interior and original foil or cloth duct tape that has fully failed.
The Blackland Prairie clay soil beneath Garland swells when wet and shrinks when dry, pulling apart duct joints and saddle connections at register boots. Technicians here regularly find three or four completely detached flex duct runs on a single job, dumping conditioned air into 150°F attic space. This pattern is so common that experienced crews now quote duct re-sealing as a standard add-on before cleaning begins, because cleaning an open-ended duct just vacuums conditioned air from the attic.
North Texas heat means HVAC systems run six or more months continuously, cycling enormous air volumes through aging systems and accelerating particulate accumulation. Garland also sits in one of Texas’s most intense spring allergen corridors, with severe mountain cedar, oak, and ragweed loads, so compromised ducts pulling in attic air become direct pathways for concentrated allergens into living spaces.
Our Main Garland Services
Garland homeowners call us most often for these three services, each with its own local page and pricing:
Air Duct Cleaning in Garland
Full-system negative-pressure extraction for Garland’s aging post-war ductwork, including trunk lines, branch runs, and register boots. We photograph every run before and after, and we always check for disconnected flex lines common in central Garland neighborhoods before starting the cleaning. Air Duct Cleaning in Garland
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Garland
Lint and debris removal from dryer exhaust runs, with airflow testing before and after. Garland’s older homes often have longer vent paths through attics or crawl spaces that compound fire risk and drying time. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Garland
Duct Repair & Sealing in Garland
Mastic re-sealing of disconnected boots, saddle connections, and split seams caused by Blackland Prairie soil shift. We document every disconnect with photos and quote the repair in writing before any sealing work begins. Duct Repair & Sealing in Garland

BeforeAfterHVAC Cleaning in Garland
HVAC cleaning in Garland addresses equipment that has been pulling air through compromised, debris-filled ductwork for decades. Evaporator coils in these homes commonly carry a half-inch or more of compacted dust and microbial growth, and blower wheels lose 20-30% of their designed airflow to buildup. We approach each job with HVAC Cleaning protocols built for North Texas conditions, using Rotobrush and Nikro equipment to document the actual state of the system before quoting any work.
Evaporator Coil Cleaning
Signs you need it
Ice formation on refrigerant lines, weak airflow from registers, or musty odors when the AC cycles on in Garland’s humid summer months.
What it costs in Garland
Evaporator coil cleaning in Garland typically runs $180-$320 for accessible attic or closet-mounted units.
How we do it
We remove the access panel, photograph the coil condition, apply foaming cleaner approved for aluminum fins, rinse with low-pressure water, and deliver before-and-after photos as part of the documented job record.
Blower Cleaning
Signs you need it
Uneven heating or cooling across rooms, longer cycle times, or visible dust puffing from registers when the fan starts.
What it costs in Garland
Blower wheel and housing cleaning in Garland generally ranges $150-$280 depending on accessibility and buildup severity.
How we do it
We remove the blower assembly, photograph the wheel and housing, clean with compressed air and contact vacuums, balance the wheel on reassembly, and include the photo record with your written invoice.
What HVAC Cleaning Costs in Garland
| Item | Typical range in Garland |
|---|---|
| Evaporator coil cleaning | $180-$320 |
| Blower cleaning | $150-$280 |
| Full HVAC system cleaning (coil + blower + housing) | $350-$650 |
How do I know my HVAC needs cleaning versus just my ducts?
If your registers blow clean but rooms still heat or cool unevenly, or if you smell musty odors only when the fan cycles, the problem is likely in the coil or blower, not the duct runs. Call (682) 297-4068 and we’ll inspect both and put the findings in writing.
Can HVAC cleaning fix the humidity problems in my Garland home?
A dirty evaporator coil cannot properly condense moisture from the air, so cleaning it often restores normal humidity control, though severely undersized equipment or duct leaks may also contribute. We photograph the coil and measure airflow to show you exactly what we found.
Air Quality & Sanitizing in Garland
Air quality and sanitizing in Garland targets the microbial growth and allergen loads that thrive in aging fiberglass duct liner and compromised attic connections. North Texas’s six-month cooling season keeps evaporator coils wet for extended periods, and Garland’s intense spring allergen corridor pushes pollen directly into living spaces through disconnected duct runs. We treat the source, not the symptom, with documented photo evidence of what was growing inside the system. Our Air Quality & Sanitizing work follows the same upfront-pricing standard as every CleanRun job.
Mold Treatment
Signs you need it
Visible black or green growth on register boots, persistent musty odors that return after duct cleaning, or allergy symptoms that worsen when the HVAC runs.
What it costs in Garland
Whole-system mold treatment in Garland typically runs $400-$750 depending on the number of affected runs and whether the evaporator coil requires treatment.
How we do it
We photograph all visible growth, apply EPA-registered antimicrobial through the duct system using negative-pressure containment, treat the coil and plenum if indicated, and deliver before-and-after documentation with the written scope.
UV Light Installation
Signs you need it
Repeated microbial growth after professional cleaning, chronic musty odors, or household members with mold sensitivities or compromised immune systems.
What it costs in Garland
UV-C light installation in Garland ranges $350-$600 for a properly sized lamp mounted at the coil or air handler, including electrical connection.
How we do it
We size the lamp to your air handler’s dimensions, mount it for direct coil exposure, wire to the blower circuit for automatic operation, and include the installation photo in your job record.
What Air Quality & Sanitizing Costs in Garland
| Item | Typical range in Garland |
|---|---|
| Mold treatment (whole system) | $400-$750 |
| UV light installation | $350-$600 |
| Bacteria sanitizing (standalone service) | $200-$400 |
Does UV light actually prevent mold in Garland’s humid climate?
A properly sized UV-C lamp at the evaporator coil prevents mold growth on the coil surface and surrounding plenum, but it does not treat existing duct contamination or disconnected runs pulling in attic air. We install UV only after documenting that the coil is clean and the ductwork is intact.
How do I know the mold treatment worked?
We photograph every treated run before and after application, and we include those images in your written job record; if visible growth returns within 365 days, Haven Standard Clause 1 applies and we re-treat at no charge.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Garland
Standard residential duct cleaning does not require a permit in Garland; duct repair or replacement that modifies the HVAC system’s capacity or routing may require inspection through the city’s Development Services department. We handle permit documentation on any job where it’s required, and we note permit status in your written scope before work begins.
Most Garland appointments are available within 3-5 business days; we do not maintain emergency or same-day dispatch for duct cleaning, as proper documentation and written pricing require advance scheduling. Call (682) 297-4068 to book, and we’ll confirm your appointment time before ending the call.
Most Garland HOAs do not restrict indoor service appointments, though some older subdivisions have parking or truck-size limitations we accommodate by using standard vans rather than larger box trucks. We note any HOA requirements you mention when scheduling and arrive with background-checked, uniformed technicians identified by name.
