CleanRun Duct Repair & Cleaning provides independent Aprilaire air quality and sanitizing services across Fort Worth, with most scheduled jobs completed in a single visit and a written price delivered before any work begins. Typical whole-system sanitizing runs between $380 and $720 depending on the Aprilaire equipment installed, the extent of contamination found during camera inspection, and whether UV light or air purifier installation is part of the scope. This page is for Fort Worth homeowners who own Aprilaire whole-home purifiers, humidifiers with mold-prone water panels, or ventilation systems that have developed odor, allergen, or microbial issues and want a technician who names the actual problem before naming the price.

How Aprilaire Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• Model 5000 Electronic Air Cleaner - ionizing wire corrosion. The tungsten wires in the 5000’s ionizing section corrode in Fort Worth’s hard water vapor environment, especially when the unit sits downstream of an Aprilaire humidifier. The wires lose their charge capacity, and the unit stops capturing fine particles. We replace with OEM-spec wires or the full electrode assembly, then verify voltage output with a calibrated meter before reassembly.
• Model 600/700 Series Humidifiers - water panel mold and scale. The evaporative panels in these units become breeding surfaces for mold and mineral scale in Fort Worth’s calcium-heavy municipal water. The musty smell blows through the ductwork every time the fan cycles. We remove the panel, treat the distribution tray with antimicrobial, install a fresh panel, and recommend a solenoid valve check if the unit has been overfilling.
• Model 8100/8200 Energy Recovery Ventilators - core contamination. The enthalpy cores in these ERVs accumulate pollen and outdoor particulate, then harbor moisture that supports bacterial growth. The factory cleaning procedure is inadequate for Fort Worth’s spring oak pollen loads. We extract the core, apply negative-pressure HEPA cleaning to the housing, sanitize the core itself if structurally sound, or quote replacement if the membrane has degraded.
• Model 1210/2210/3210 Media Air Cleaners - bypass leakage around filter frames. The MERV 16 filters in these cabinets can warp or seat improperly, allowing unfiltered air to bypass the media. Homeowners notice dust accumulation on registers despite the filter appearing clean. We inspect the filter track, replace damaged gaskets, and verify static pressure drop across the media to confirm sealed operation.
• Model 1850/1870 Dehumidifiers - drain pan biofilm and coil mold. The cold evaporator coils and shallow drain pans in these whole-home dehumidifiers develop biofilm in Fort Worth’s cooling season when setpoints are too aggressive. The result is a persistent sour odor and reduced moisture removal. We disassemble the cabinet, treat the coil and pan with foaming cleaner and botanical sanitizer, clear the drain line with nitrogen pressure, and reset the control strategy to prevent reoccurrence.

Our Aprilaire Air Quality & Sanitizing Process

1. 1
   Camera inspection before any scope discussion. We feed a borescope into the plenum (the main air distribution box) and each accessible duct run to document what is actually present - mold staining, debris buildup, or clean metal. Tomas Reyes pulls the camera out before saying a word about scope or price. The camera doesn’t have a sales pitch.
2. 2
   Written price delivered on site. Haven Standard Clause 1: the price is put in writing before a single panel comes off. For Aprilaire equipment, this includes parts identification - OEM Aprilaire components versus quality aftermarket equivalents - with the trade-off explained in plain language.
3. 3
   Equipment-specific sanitizing protocol. We match the treatment to the Aprilaire model: UV-C lamp installation for coil and pan sterilization in humidifier and dehumidifier cabinets; botanical antimicrobial fogging for duct runs serving media air cleaner systems; or full negative-pressure extraction with HEPA filtration for electronic air cleaner housings that have accumulated years of charged particle residue.
4. 4
   Parts replacement with warranty-safe practices. We do not perform work that voids remaining Aprilaire factory warranty. For units under warranty, we use OEM parts and document the service record. For out-of-warranty units, we may recommend quality aftermarket alternatives with equivalent specifications and longer local availability.
5. 5
   Post-service testing and photo documentation. We verify airflow restoration with a calibrated anemometer, capture after photos of every treated duct run and component, and deliver the full photo record as part of the standard job file. The 365-Day Done Right Promise is activated in writing before we leave.
6. 6
   Cleanup and written summary. Technicians leave the work area as found, then provide a written scope summary with photos, parts used, and the active guarantee terms.

What Aprilaire Air Quality & Sanitizing Costs in Fort Worth

What moves the price: the number of duct runs served by the Aprilaire equipment, accessibility of the unit (attic installs in Fort Worth’s older Near Southside homes add time), whether mold remediation requires containment, and if electrical work is needed for UV or purifier installs. We also service Lennox, Trane, and Carrier air quality equipment with the same documentation standards and upfront pricing.
