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.

AfterTrusted Air Duct Cleaning for Fort Worth Homeowners
Air duct cleaning in Fort Worth typically runs $450-$850 for a complete residential system and takes 3 to 5 hours from arrival to final photo documentation. CleanRun Duct Repair & Cleaning has delivered written prices before work starts on every one of the 52,000+ homes we’ve served since 2013, and every job concludes with a Documented Photo Record of every duct run. Call (817) 520-8797 for a free written estimate with no obligation to schedule.
Fort Worth’s clay soil and seasonal temperature swings stress HVAC systems differently than other North Texas markets. We’ve found heavy pollen loads in Air Duct Cleaning in Fort Worth homes near the Trinity River corridor, while older neighborhoods like Fairmount and Ryan Place often show decades of accumulated construction debris in original galvanized ductwork. Our crews document what the camera actually sees, name the price in writing before touching a single panel, and back the work with our 365-Day Done Right Promise. That’s Haven Standard Clause 1, and it’s how we’ve operated since our first job.
What Our Air Duct Cleaning Service Includes
Residential Duct Cleaning
Residential Duct Cleaning covers the complete network of supply and return runs, plenum boxes, and accessible trunk lines in single-family homes, townhomes, and duplexes in Fort Worth. Most homeowners in neighborhoods like Wedgwood and Tanglewood need this service every 3 to 5 years, or sooner after renovation, pest intrusion, or visible debris at registers. CleanRun’s residential crews use Rotobrush contact cleaning combined with negative-pressure extraction, photographing the interior of every duct run before and after so you can verify the work against your written scope.
Commercial Duct Cleaning
Commercial Duct Cleaning addresses larger-scale HVAC systems in Fort Worth office buildings, retail spaces, medical clinics, and multi-tenant properties with rooftop units and extensive trunk-and-branch distribution. These systems accumulate debris faster due to higher air turnover and often operate under stricter indoor air quality codes, particularly in healthcare and food service settings. CleanRun scales equipment accordingly, deploying Nikro industrial negative-pressure systems and Abatement Technologies HEPA filtration to contain dislodged particulate without disrupting business operations.
Supply Duct Cleaning
Supply duct cleaning targets the pressurized runs that deliver conditioned air from your air handler to each room’s registers, the path where Fort Worth homeowners most often notice dust accumulation or reduced airflow. Supply runs in newer construction, particularly in far north Fort Worth developments around Alliance Town Center, sometimes contain leftover drywall dust and insulation fragments from original build-out. Our technicians isolate each supply branch, agitate debris with mechanical brushes, and extract it under controlled negative pressure while the camera documents the change.
Return Duct Cleaning
Return Duct Cleaning focuses on the larger, unpressurized pathways that pull air back to your air handler for reconditioning, often the dirtiest segment of the system because they lack filtration between the grille and the duct wall. In Fort Worth homes with return air pathways built into wall cavities or floor joists, we’ve documented significant debris buildup at junction points where construction gaps create turbulence and particle dropout. CleanRun’s return cleaning includes sealing accessible leaks with mastic after cleaning, since disturbed debris often reveals gaps that were previously hidden by accumulated material.
Full System Cleaning
Full System Cleaning encompasses supply ducts, return ducts, the plenum (the central distribution box attached to your air handler), and accessible evaporator coil and blower cabinet surfaces in a single coordinated service. This is what most Fort Worth homeowners actually need when they call for “air duct cleaning,” though some competitors quote a low base price for partial cleaning and upsell components separately. CleanRun’s written scope defines exactly which components are included before work begins, with line-item pricing for optional add-ons like coil cleaning or sanitizer application.
Video Inspection
Video inspection uses a flexible borescope camera threaded through the ductwork to record interior conditions without disassembly, providing baseline documentation for cleaning decisions and post-cleaning verification. We recommend this for Fort Worth homeowners who’ve received conflicting opinions about whether cleaning is necessary, or for real estate transactions where documentation protects both parties. The video file becomes part of your permanent job record, stored with your written price, scope, and before-and-after photo documentation under Haven Standard Clause 2: Documented Accountability.

Brands We Service for Air Duct Cleaning
CleanRun’s equipment roster includes professional-grade systems from Rotobrush, Nikro, Abatement Technologies, Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Guardsman, brands that publish specifications customers can verify independently. We’ve deployed Rotobrush contact cleaning systems on thousands of Fort Worth residential jobs since 2013, particularly effective for flexible ductwork with internal fiberglass lining where aggressive agitation would damage the substrate. Our Nikro industrial negative-pressure units handle commercial and heavy-residential applications in Fort Worth’s larger estate properties in areas like Mira Vista and Montserrat, where duct runs exceed 150 linear feet and standard portable equipment lacks sufficient CFM for proper debris containment.
Guardsman and Honeywell air quality components appear frequently in Fort Worth homes built between 2015 and 2025, particularly whole-house media filters and UV-C sterilization modules integrated into the plenum. Our technicians are trained to remove, clean around, and reinstall these components without voiding manufacturer warranties, and we document their condition in the pre-work photo record. Whether your system includes Guardsman filtration, Honeywell UV treatment, or any other make of ductwork and air handler, we can assess, scope, and clean it with a written price delivered before work starts.
BeforeAfterSigns You Need Air Duct Cleaning Right Now
- Visible dust or debris at supply registers. If you wipe a register cover and the cloth comes back gray within days of normal housekeeping, your ductwork is likely distributing particulate that bypassed your filter. In Fort Worth’s windy spring seasons, this often indicates filter bypass or duct leakage pulling attic or crawl space debris into the system.
- Uneven heating or cooling between rooms. When one bedroom stays stubbornly warm while the rest of the house cools normally, restricted airflow from debris buildup or collapsed flexible duct may be the cause. We’ve found significant blockages in Fort Worth homes where original flexible duct has sagged at low points, creating debris traps that standard filter changes cannot address.
- Persistent musty or stale odors when the system runs. Odors that intensify when the blower cycles on suggest microbial growth on accumulated organic debris inside the ductwork or on the evaporator coil. Fort Worth’s humidity spikes in late spring and early fall create favorable conditions for this, particularly in homes where the thermostat is set back aggressively during unoccupied hours.
- Recent renovation or construction activity. Even with diligent contractor cleanup, drywall dust, insulation fragments, and sawdust enter ductwork through open registers during remodeling. We regularly document construction debris in Fort Worth’s rapidly developing neighborhoods like Walsh and Pecan Square, where infill construction and whole-house renovations are common.
- Increased allergy symptoms or respiratory irritation indoors. While duct cleaning is not a medical treatment, removing accumulated pollen, pet dander, and dust mite debris reduces the reservoir of allergens recirculated by your HVAC system. Fort Worth’s cedar pollen season and prolonged grass pollen periods make this particularly relevant for sensitive occupants.
Our Air Duct Cleaning Process - Step by Step
- 1
Written estimate and scope confirmation. Our technician arrives at your Fort Worth home, inspects accessible components of your HVAC system, and delivers a written price with line-item scope before any work begins. Haven Standard Clause 1 requires this; we do not begin cleaning until you’ve approved the written document and retained your copy.
- 2
Pre-cleaning photo documentation. We insert a borescope camera into every accessible duct run and photograph interior conditions, creating a timestamped visual record that becomes part of your permanent job file. These images are not marketing stock photos; they show your actual ductwork, labeled by register location.
- 3
System isolation and negative-pressure setup. We seal registers and establish negative-pressure containment using HEPA-filtered extraction equipment, preventing dislodged debris from escaping into your living space during cleaning. For homes in Fort Worth’s older neighborhoods with original metal ductwork, we pay particular attention to seam integrity to avoid creating new leakage paths.
- 4
Mechanical agitation and debris extraction. Technicians use Rotobrush contact brushes, compressed air whips, or manual tools appropriate to your duct material and debris type, working from the farthest point back toward the air handler. The extraction system captures dislodged material continuously; we inspect progress with the camera and continue until the duct wall shows clean metal or liner.
- 5
Post-cleaning verification and photo record delivery. We re-photograph every cleaned run for direct before-and-after comparison, reinstall all components, and test system operation. Your complete job record, written price, scope, photos, and 365-Day Done Right Promise documentation, is delivered electronically or in hard copy before we leave your Fort Worth home.
How Much Does Air Duct Cleaning Cost in Fort Worth?
A typical residential full system cleaning in Fort Worth runs $450-$850 for homes between 1,500 and 3,500 square feet, with most single-family jobs falling in the $550-$725 range. Commercial systems and large residential estates above 4,000 square feet typically start at $950 and scale based on linear footage of ductwork and accessibility factors. These are whole-system prices, not per-vent teasers that balloon once the crew is on site.
Several factors move the price within these ranges. Duct accessibility matters: homes with finished basements, sealed soffits, or attic ducts buried under blown insulation require additional labor to reach. The condition and type of debris affects tool selection and time; heavy construction residue or pest debris takes longer than routine dust accumulation. Additional services like evaporator coil cleaning, blower cabinet cleaning, or sanitizer application are priced separately and listed on the written scope before you decide.
Fort Worth’s market includes competitors advertising $79-$199 “whole house” specials that cover only a handful of supply registers, with aggressive upselling once the technician arrives. CleanRun’s price is the price. We deliver it in writing before work starts, and our Free Second Opinion policy means you can bring us any competitor’s written estimate for direct comparison. No coupon codes, no time-limited offers, no urgency theater.

Frequently Asked Questions - Air Duct Cleaning in Fort Worth
Air duct cleaning is the mechanical removal of accumulated dust, debris, and organic material from the interior surfaces of your HVAC system’s ductwork, plenum, and accessible components. In Fort Worth homes, this typically addresses years of normal dust accumulation, construction residue, pollen loads, and occasionally pest debris or microbial growth. CleanRun’s service includes photographing every duct run before and after so you can verify the physical change, not just accept a verbal report.
A typical residential full system cleaning in Fort Worth takes 3 to 5 hours from arrival to final documentation, depending on system size, accessibility, and debris condition. Larger homes in areas like Keller or Southlake with extensive duct networks may extend to 6 hours; smaller systems or partial cleanings may finish in 2 to 3 hours. We schedule adequate time and do not rush the verification photography that completes Haven Standard Clause 2.
Residential full system cleaning in Fort Worth typically costs $450-$850, with most jobs between $550 and $725 for homes under 3,500 square feet. Commercial systems and large estates start around $950. CleanRun delivers a written, itemized price before any work begins under Haven Standard Clause 1, and we offer a Free Second Opinion on any competitor’s written estimate. Call (817) 520-8797 for a free estimate at your Fort Worth home.
Yes. CleanRun technicians are trained to work with and around Honeywell whole-house media filters, Guardsman air quality components, Aprilaire humidifiers, and other integrated HVAC accessories without voiding manufacturer warranties. We document the condition of these components in our pre-cleaning photo record and note any recommended service in your written job file. If your system includes brands not listed here, we verify compatibility during the estimate visit.
CleanRun does not advertise same-day or emergency duct cleaning because duct cleaning is a scheduled maintenance service, not an urgent repair. Severe airflow blockages, pest infestations, or water damage affecting ductwork may require immediate attention; in these cases, we assess whether duct cleaning or repair is the appropriate response and schedule accordingly. All calls are answered by a live person, 24/7, who can triage your situation and book the earliest available technician.
Every CleanRun job is backed by the 365-Day Done Right Promise: if the work is not right, we make it right, documented in writing on every job record. This is not a manager-discretion policy but a contractual obligation under Haven Standard Clause 5. The promise covers workmanship and documented completeness; it does not cover new debris accumulation after cleaning, which is why we provide the photo record for your permanent files.
Clear a path to your HVAC equipment and all registers, secure pets in a separate area, and ensure someone 18 or older is present to review and approve the written scope before work begins. You do not need to move furniture covering floor registers; our technicians will request access as needed. After cleaning, we recommend replacing your HVAC filter and running the system normally; any brief dust odor from disturbed residual material typically dissipates within 24 hours.
