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 North Richland Hills, TX
Whole-system HVAC cleaning in North Richland Hills typically runs $350-$650 for a single-family home, with air quality and sanitizing services adding $150-$400 depending on whether mold treatment or UV installation is needed. Homes here face a specific combination: original flex duct from the 1970s-1990s build-out, attic temperatures that exceed 140°F five months a year, and Tarrant County’s heavy mountain cedar and oak pollen loads that fill ductwork with fine particulates. Call (817) 520-8797 for a free estimate.
Why North Richland Hills Homes Are Different
North Richland Hills’ housing stock is concentrated in a narrow 25-year window, roughly 1970 to 1995, with single-family ranch and traditional homes built on concrete slabs. Ductwork in nearly all of these houses runs through unconditioned attics rather than crawlspaces, and many still have their original flex duct with plastic inner liners and spiral-wire support frames.
Those attics reach 140-155°F from May through September, and the thermal cycling embrittles flex duct liners faster than in newer suburbs to the north. We regularly find collapsed elbows in 1980s-era neighborhoods near Rufe Snow Drive, where failed spiral wire has let the duct pinch shut. Homeowners often blame an undersized AC unit, but the real problem is a physical obstruction that cleaning alone won’t fix. Add Tarrant County’s back-to-back allergen seasons, mountain cedar peaking December through February and oak/elm March through April, and the particulate load inside these aging systems becomes severe.
Our Main North Richland Hills Services
North Richland Hills homeowners most often call us for these three services, each with its own local page and pricing.
Air Duct Cleaning in North Richland Hills
We clean the full duct network, from return plenum (the sheet-metal box that collects air before it reaches the furnace) to every supply register, using negative-pressure extraction with Rotobrush and Nikro equipment. In North Richland Hills, we pay special attention to flex duct elbows that may have collapsed inward, since forcing air through a pinched section can damage already-brittle liners. Every run is photographed before and after. Air Duct Cleaning in North Richland Hills
Dryer Vent Cleaning in North Richland Hills
Lint accumulation in dryer vents is a fire hazard, and homes with longer vent runs through hot attics face accelerated buildup. We remove the vent from both ends, inspect with a camera, and clean the full length to the exterior termination. In NRH’s 1970s-1990s builds, we often find vinyl or foil transition ducts that no longer meet code and include replacement in the written scope when needed.

Duct Repair & Sealing in North Richland Hills
When attic heat has degraded flex duct beyond cleaning, we replace collapsed or torn sections with new insulated flex or hard pipe where appropriate, then seal all joints with mastic. Sealing is critical in NRH’s unconditioned attics, where leaky ducts pull 140°F air into the system and waste cooling capacity. Every repair includes photo documentation and falls under the 365-Day Done Right Promise. Duct Repair & Sealing in North Richland Hills

BeforeAfterHVAC Cleaning in North Richland Hills
HVAC cleaning in North Richland Hills addresses the components that move and condition air, not just the ducts that distribute it. The evaporator coil, blower assembly, and condenser unit all collect the same pollen and particulate that loads the ductwork, but with one difference: a dirty coil or blower directly restricts airflow and raises energy use, often by 15-25% in systems we inspect. Our HVAC Cleaning service uses Abatement Technologies and Guardsman equipment to clean these components without removing refrigerant or disassembling major assemblies.
Evaporator Coil Cleaning
Signs you need it
Ice forming on the copper lineset, weak airflow from registers, or the AC running continuously without reaching set temperature.
What it costs in North Richland Hills
Evaporator coil cleaning typically ranges $180-$320 in North Richland Hills homes.
How we do it
We access the coil through the plenum, apply foaming cleaner, rinse with low-pressure water capture, and photograph the fin surface before and after.
Blower Cleaning
Signs you need it
Vibration or noise from the air handler, uneven airflow room to room, or dust streaking from supply registers.
What it costs in North Richland Hills
Blower assembly cleaning typically ranges $150-$280 in North Richland Hills.
How we do it
We remove the blower wheel and housing, clean each blade and the motor cavity, balance the assembly, and document with photos.
What HVAC Cleaning Costs in North Richland Hills
| Item | Typical range in North Richland Hills |
|---|---|
| Evaporator coil cleaning | $180-$320 |
| Blower assembly cleaning | $150-$280 |
| Condenser coil cleaning | $120-$220 |
Can HVAC cleaning lower my electric bill in North Richland Hills?
Yes, a dirty evaporator coil or blower can raise cooling costs by 15-25% in North Texas heat. After cleaning, airflow improves and the system reaches set temperature faster. Call (817) 520-8797 for a written estimate.
How do I know the HVAC components were actually cleaned?
Every HVAC cleaning includes a Documented Photo Record of the coil, blower, and condenser before and after, delivered as part of the standard job record under Haven Standard Clause 2.
Air Quality & Sanitizing in North Richland Hills
Air quality and sanitizing in North Richland Hills targets the biological load that accumulates in aging flex duct and fiberglass duct board, especially in homes where attic heat has degraded the inner liner and created porous surfaces for mold and bacteria. Tarrant County’s humidity swings, combined with NRH’s tight, energy-efficient construction from the 1980s-1990s, can trap moisture in ductwork and produce musty odors or visible microbial growth. Our Air Quality & Sanitizing service treats these conditions with EPA-registered products and, where appropriate, permanent UV-C installations.
Mold Treatment
Signs you need it
Musty odor when the AC first cycles on, visible discoloration on register boots, or allergy symptoms that worsen at home.
What it costs in North Richland Hills
Mold treatment for ductwork typically ranges $350-$650 in North Richland Hills homes.
How we do it
We apply an EPA-registered fungistatic agent to all interior duct surfaces using mechanical fogging, then verify with post-treatment photo documentation.
UV Light Installation
Signs you need it
Recurring microbial growth after cleaning, chronic musty odors, or a family member with respiratory sensitivity.
What it costs in North Richland Hills
UV-C light installation typically ranges $400-$750 per unit in North Richland Hills.
How we do it
We mount a UV-C lamp in the supply plenum, wire to the blower circuit for automatic operation, and include a two-year bulb replacement schedule.
What Air Quality & Sanitizing Costs in North Richland Hills
| Item | Typical range in North Richland Hills |
|---|---|
| Mold treatment (whole system) | $350-$650 |
| UV-C light installation | $400-$750 |
| Bacteria sanitizing | $200-$400 |
Is mold in ducts common in North Richland Hills?
Yes, the combination of degraded flex duct liners and humidity from oversized or short-cycling AC units creates conditions we treat regularly in NRH’s 1970s-1990s housing stock. Call (817) 520-8797 for an inspection and written scope.
Will UV lights kill mold already in the ducts?
No, UV-C prevents new growth on coil and plenum surfaces but does not remove existing contamination; we clean or treat first, then install UV as a preventive measure.
