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.
Why Fort Worth Homeowners Choose Trane Air Duct Cleaning
CleanRun provides Air Duct Cleaning as an independent Trane service for XR, XB, XV, and Tempo series systems across Fort Worth, with written upfront pricing and a documented photo record of every duct run. Our technicians understand how Trane’s all-aluminum coils and cabinet gasket designs trap debris differently than other brands, and we service these systems without pushing new equipment. Call (817) 520-8797 for a free estimate with a written price before any work starts.
We’re not a Trane dealer. We’re an independent service company that happens to know these systems inside and out because we’ve cleaned hundreds of them in Fort Worth since 2013, and we also offer Haltom City Trane service. Trane builds solid equipment, but the same design choices that make their air handlers efficient also create specific contamination patterns. Their cabinet seals dry out fast in Texas attics. Their coil geometry catches debris that other brands pass through. Their variable-speed blowers, when dirty, behave differently than single-stage motors. We document what we find, explain it in plain language, and fix only what the footage shows needs fixing. The camera doesn’t have a sales pitch.
Tomas Reyes, our owner, grew up in the Bronx and learned his first trade skills at Bronx Community College before spending years in the field learning exactly what accumulates inside residential duct systems when nobody’s paying attention. He and our crew have run jobs across Fort Worth for years, including plenty of work in established neighborhoods like the Near Southside where older homes tend to hold onto decades of debris in ways that newer builds don’t. Tomas pulls the camera out before saying a word about scope or price. If the footage doesn’t show a problem, he’ll tell you that too.
Why Trust CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Fort Worth for Your Trane Air Duct Cleaning?
Trane equipment rewards technicians who understand its quirks. The XR13 and XR16 air handlers use a cabinet design with adhesive-backed door gaskets that sit directly in the return airstream. When those gaskets dry out, which they do in 5-7 years in a Fort Worth attic that hits 150°F, the seal fails and the handler pulls attic air through the gap. That means insulation fibers, rodent droppings, and Cross Timbers dust enter the return side and distribute through every room. We’ve replaced those gaskets on dozens of systems in Wedgwood and Ridglea Hills alone, and we also handle Trane repair in Fort Worth.
The XV18 and XV20i variable-speed systems are another story. Their electronically commutated blower motors have control modules that sit in the airstream, and fine dust accumulation on those modules causes erratic RPM behavior. The blower ramps up and down unpredictably, which changes static pressure across the duct system and lets debris settle in supply trunks instead of staying airborne to the filter. Cleaning the blower wheel and control housing isn’t optional maintenance on these units. It’s what keeps the ductwork from turning into a sediment trap.
We use OEM Trane filter racks and door gaskets when available. For mastic sealant, flex duct connectors, and other consumables, we choose aftermarket equivalents that meet or exceed OEM specs. Every technician on our crew is background-checked and uniformed under Haven Standard Clause 3: Verified Crews. We publish our license number on every page, not buried in a footer. And every job ends with a Documented Photo Record of every duct run, before and after, delivered as part of your standard job record. That’s been our practice since our first job in 2013.
Common Trane Air Duct Cleaning Problems We Fix in Fort Worth

- All-aluminum evaporator coil corrosion on XR and XB series. Trane’s all-aluminum coils resist galvanic corrosion but are prone to formicary corrosion in Fort Worth’s humid summers. Pinhole leaks introduce moisture into the airstream, promoting biological growth on the coil and inside the plenum. The result is musty odors, reduced airflow, and debris that sticks to the wet coil instead of passing through. We clean the coil with foaming cleaner and a soft brush, then check for leaks with a fluorescent dye test. If the coil is leaking and the unit is under 10 years old, we recommend repair. Older than that, we’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
- Variable-speed blower dust accumulation on XV18 and XV20i systems. The ECM control modules in these units sit where return air first enters the handler. Fine dust from Fort Worth’s calcareous soils coats the module’s heat sink and sensor ports, causing the motor to hunt between speeds. Erratic airflow lets debris settle in supply trunks, especially in long duct runs common in Alliance-area homes built in the 2000s. We remove the blower assembly, clean the wheel and housing with compressed air and a soft brush, and verify stable RPM through all stages before reassembly.
- Cabinet gasket failure on residential air handlers. Trane’s adhesive-backed door seals dry, crack, and fall away in Texas heat. Once the seal fails, the handler operates under negative pressure at the cabinet gap, pulling unfiltered attic air directly into the return. In Polytechnic Heights and the historic North Side, we’ve found original gaskets fully disintegrated on 15-year-old units, with attic insulation packed into the filter rack. We replace these with OEM gaskets when available, or with high-temperature silicone-backed equivalents that outlast the originals.
- Clamshell heat exchanger rust distribution on older Tempo and XR units. The “Trane clamshell” heat exchanger design common in 1990s and early 2000s units can develop internal rust that flakes off during heating cycles. Those flakes travel through the supply ducts and lodge in registers, reducing airflow and creating hot spots. We find this regularly in Ridglea and Como homes with original furnaces. Cleaning the ducts removes the accumulated rust, but we also inspect the heat exchanger with a borescope and document any deterioration. If the exchanger is compromised, we’ll show you the footage and explain why replacement is a safety issue, not a sales pitch.
- Flex-duct sagging and crush at plenum connections in north Fort Worth growth corridors. The rapid-build subdivisions around Alliance, Saginaw, and Haslet used flex-duct systems that were rushed to completion. After 20-plus years in 140°F attics, the plastic liners degrade and the wire helix relaxes, causing sagging that traps debris at low points. Trane’s higher-static air handlers, especially the two-stage XR16, exacerbate the problem by pulling more aggressively at weak connections. We seal and support these connections with mastic and metal strapping, then verify with a static pressure test.

AfterTrane Parts & Our Repair-vs-Replace Approach
We stock OEM Trane filter racks, door gaskets, and coil drain pans for fast turnaround on common failures. For mastic sealant, flex duct, and insulation wrap, we use aftermarket products from Abatement Technologies and Guardsman that meet or exceed OEM specifications. The distinction matters for warranty compliance on some components and doesn’t matter at all for others. We’ll tell you which is which.
Our repair-vs-replace decision is straightforward. Under 10 years old with a failed coil or blower? We repair, using parts that preserve any remaining warranty coverage. Over 15 years with a compressor failure or multiple heat exchanger cracks? We’ll show you the footage, explain the math, and let you decide. No urgency. No countdown timer. Just a written price for each option under Haven Standard Clause 1.
Call (817) 520-8797 and we’ll put both numbers in writing if you want them.
Our Trane Service Process - Step by Step

- 1
Diagnosis with documentation. We start with a visual inspection of the air handler cabinet, filter rack, and accessible ductwork. Then we run a borescope camera through every duct run and photograph what we find. On Trane systems, we pay particular attention to the coil condition, blower wheel balance, and cabinet seal integrity. You’ll see the footage before we discuss scope or price.
- 2
Written scope and price. Based on the footage, we deliver a written scope with line-item pricing before any work begins. This is Haven Standard Clause 1. No exceptions. If you have a competitor’s written estimate, we’ll provide a Free Second Opinion at no cost.
- 3
Cleaning and repair. We clean evaporator coils with foaming cleaner and soft brushes, never pressure washers that can bend aluminum fins. Blower wheels come out for hand cleaning. Duct runs get negative-pressure extraction with Rotobrush or Nikro equipment, depending on debris type and duct material. Sealing work uses mastic and metal tape, not cloth-backed duct tape.
- 4
Testing and verification. We measure static pressure before and after, verify airflow at each register with a flow hood, and run the system through all heating and cooling stages. On XV series variable-speed units, we monitor blower RPM stability across the speed range.
- 5
Documented Photo Record and warranty. You receive before-and-after photos of every duct run, plus the written scope and our 365-Day Done Right Promise. If it’s not right, we make it right. That’s backed in writing on every job, not just stated in marketing copy.
Trane Products We Service & Install in Fort Worth
We service and clean Trane XR series air handlers and heat pumps (XR13, XR14, XR16), XB series base models (XB13, XB14), XV series variable-speed systems (XV18, XV20i), and legacy Tempo units still running in older Fort Worth homes, plus Trane Air Duct Cleaning in Lake Worth, TX. We also clean and seal ductwork connected to Trane packaged systems and gas furnaces, including the S9V2 and XC95m lines.
Our equipment roster includes Rotobrush brush-and-vac systems, Nikro HEPA vacuums, Abatement Technologies air scrubbers, and Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Guardsman filtration and sealing products. You can look up every one of these brands independently. We name them because we have nothing to hide about what goes into your home.
We Also Service These Brands

We’re not a single-brand shop. Our technicians are equally familiar with Lennox’s Merit and Elite series coil designs and Carrier’s Infinity variable-speed blower configurations. The ductwork doesn’t care what logo is on the air handler, but the technician should. Multi-brand fluency means we recognize when a problem is duct-related rather than equipment-related, and we don’t sell you a new system when cleaning and sealing will fix it.
FAQs - Trane Air Duct Cleaning Service in Fort Worth
No. We are an independent Trane service provider with no manufacturer affiliation or authorization. We’re not a Trane dealer, and we don’t sell new Trane equipment. What we do is clean, repair, and maintain Trane systems with brand-specific knowledge of their coil designs, cabinet seals, and blower configurations. Our independence means no incentive to recommend replacement when cleaning will solve the problem. Call (817) 520-8797 for a free estimate.
We use OEM Trane parts for components where fit and warranty compliance matter: filter racks, door gaskets, and certain drain pan configurations. For consumables like mastic sealant, flex duct, and insulation wrap, we use high-quality aftermarket products from Abatement Technologies and Guardsman that meet or exceed OEM specifications. We’ll tell you which category each part falls into before we order anything.
Most Trane air handler cleanings and duct service jobs take 3 to 5 hours for a single-system home in Fort Worth. XV series variable-speed units add 30 to 45 minutes for blower module inspection and RPM verification. Older Tempo units may need extra time for heat exchanger borescope inspection. We don’t charge by the hour. The written price covers the complete scope, however long it takes to do right.
We service XR13, XR14, and XR16 air handlers and heat pumps; XB13 and XB14 base models; XV18 and XV20i variable-speed systems; and legacy Tempo units from the 1990s and early 2000s. We also clean ductwork connected to Trane packaged systems and gas furnaces including the S9V2 and XC95m. If you’re unsure of your model, the nameplate inside the cabinet door has the exact series and serial number.
No, provided the work is performed correctly and documented. CleanRun technicians follow manufacturer guidelines for coil cleaning chemistry, fin spacing protection, and electrical safety. We use OEM door gaskets and filter racks where required for warranty compliance, and we document our work with photos and written scope. If your unit is still under Trane’s registered limited warranty, we’ll note that in our records and flag any findings that should be reported to your installing dealer.
Trane air duct cleaning in Fort Worth typically runs $450 to $850 for a complete system including evaporator coil cleaning, blower wheel service, and negative-pressure extraction of all duct runs. Add $200 to $400 for duct sealing at the plenum and connection points if the footage shows significant leakage. Single-service items like coil-only cleaning start around $280. Every price is written and agreed before work starts under Haven Standard Clause 1. Call (817) 520-8797 for an exact quote - estimates are free.
Trane’s all-aluminum evaporator coils are more susceptible to formicary corrosion than copper coils, and the pinhole leaks that result introduce moisture that feeds biological growth. The coil’s fin geometry also traps debris more aggressively than some competitors, creating a mat that holds moisture against the metal. In Fort Worth’s humid summers, this combination produces mold and mildew odors faster than in drier climates. Regular coil cleaning and a tight cabinet seal are the preventive measures that actually work. Call (817) 520-8797 if you’re smelling musty air from your vents.
Yes, but indirectly. Debris accumulation on the ECM blower module causes erratic speed control, which creates pressure fluctuations that confuse the system’s staging logic. The XV18 and XV20i are designed to modulate based on precise static pressure readings, and when those readings bounce around due to a dirty blower, the system may ramp up and down unnecessarily. Cleaning the blower wheel and housing usually restores stable operation without any parts replacement. Call (817) 520-8797 for a diagnosis with footage.
It depends on what the camera shows. If your ducts are packed with rust flakes from a deteriorating clamshell heat exchanger, cleaning removes the symptom but not the safety issue. We’ll inspect the heat exchanger with a borescope and show you the footage. If the exchanger is sound and the ducts are simply dirty from decades of use, cleaning improves airflow and reduces particulate load. We’ll give you an honest assessment and a written price for either scenario. Call (817) 520-8797 for an estimate.
Trane doesn’t manufacture duct sealing products. For sealing work, we use professional-grade mastic from Abatement Technologies, metal-backed tape, and flex duct connectors from Guardsman. These are standard trade products that exceed the performance of the cloth-backed duct tape originally used on many Fort Worth installations. For cabinet sealing, we use OEM Trane door gaskets where available, or high-temperature silicone-backed equivalents that outlast the originals in Texas attic conditions.
For Fort Worth’s climate, we recommend evaporator coil and blower cleaning every 3 to 4 years, with full duct cleaning every 5 to 7 years for homes without pets or recent renovation. Homes in the Cross Timbers wind corridor, near active construction, or with multiple pets should shorten that interval by a year or two. The real answer depends on what the camera shows. We’ve found 3-inch debris build-ups in 2-year-old systems and nearly clean ducts in 15-year-old homes. Call (817) 520-8797 and we’ll scope it for free with your estimate.
