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 Bedford, TX
Whole-system HVAC cleaning in Bedford typically runs $380-$620 for a single-family home, with most jobs scheduled within a week and completed in one day. We’re CleanRun Duct Repair & Cleaning, and we serve Bedford from our Dallas-Fort Worth office with crews that know the HEB corridor’s aging housing stock. Call (817) 520-8797 for a written estimate before any work starts.
Bedford’s neighborhoods off Harwood Road and Pipeline Road were built out almost entirely between 1965 and 1990, which means the ductwork we encounter is usually 35-55 years old. The original flex-duct inner liners have been baked by attic temperatures that routinely exceed 140°F each summer, causing fibers to shed directly into living-space airflow. That specific failure pattern is why we photograph every duct run before and after, and why we quote a flat price per system in writing before removing a single panel.
Why Bedford Homes Are Different
Bedford sits in the Mid-Cities corridor as a fully landlocked, built-out city with almost no housing newer than 30 years. The single-story ranch homes that dominate here were constructed during the 1970s-1980s suburban boom, most with attic-run duct systems using galvanized sheet-metal trunks and fiberglass flex branches that have never been replaced. Severely aged ductwork is the rule, not the exception.
North Texas’s dual allergen assault compounds the problem. Ashe juniper pollen from December through February, followed by heavy oak and ragweed seasons, loads the air with particles that get pulled through deteriorating duct liners almost year-round. The cooling season runs six-plus months here, so HVAC systems cycle enormous volumes of that allergen-laden air through compromised ductwork.
The region’s expansive black-clay soils cause repeated slab micro-movement that slowly pulls apart flex-duct boot connections. Homeowners rarely notice until dust patterns at registers become impossible to ignore. Technicians working the older neighborhoods frequently find that original mastic or foil-tape joints from 1970s construction have fully dried and separated, turning sealed systems into ones drawing unconditioned attic air directly into supply runs.
Our Main Bedford Services
Bedford homeowners call us most often for these three services, each with its own dedicated page and local pricing.
Air Duct Cleaning in Bedford
Whole-system negative-pressure extraction for the flex-duct and sheet-metal trunk systems found in Bedford’s HEB-era homes. We clean every duct run, photograph the interior before and after, and deliver the photo record as part of the standard job file. Air Duct Cleaning in Bedford covers full pricing and what the process looks like in a typical ranch home here.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Bedford
Dryer vent routing in older Bedford homes often involves long horizontal runs through slab-foundation walls, creating lint accumulation points that standard brushes miss. We use rotary whip systems and inspect with a borescope camera to verify full passage. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Bedford details our flat-rate pricing and documentation process.
Duct Repair & Sealing in Bedford
Separated mastic joints, torn flex liner, and boot disconnections are common findings in Bedford’s original duct systems. We repair with code-compliant materials and seal with mastic or foil-backed tape rated for attic temperature cycling. Duct Repair & Sealing in Bedford explains how we quote repair scope in writing before work begins.

BeforeAfterHVAC Cleaning in Bedford
Bedford’s 1970s-1980s HVAC systems have been running hard through six-month cooling seasons for 35-55 years, and the components that actually move and condition air, the evaporator coil, blower assembly, and condenser, accumulate debris that factory filters never catch. In the HEB corridor, we regularly find coils clogged with a mat of cottonwood seed, pet dander, and degraded duct-liner fibers that restricts airflow by 30% or more before a homeowner notices warm spots in rooms. Our HVAC Cleaning service treats these components as a matched system, not isolated parts, because a clean coil with a dirty blower still delivers poor performance.
Evaporator Coil Cleaning
Signs you need it
Rooms that won’t cool evenly, ice formation on refrigerant lines, or a musty odor when the AC first cycles on.
What it costs in Bedford
Evaporator coil cleaning in Bedford typically ranges from $180 to $340.
How we do it
We access the coil through the plenum, apply foaming cleaner rated for aluminum fins, rinse with low-pressure water, and photograph the before and after condition for the job record.
Blower Cleaning
Signs you need it
Unusual vibration at startup, reduced airflow at registers, or a burning dust smell when heat first engages.
What it costs in Bedford
Blower assembly cleaning in Bedford typically ranges from $160 to $280.
How we do it
We remove the blower housing, clean the squirrel cage and motor housing with compressed air and solvent, balance the assembly, and document RPM and amp draw before reinstallation.
What HVAC Cleaning Costs in Bedford
| Item | Typical range in Bedford |
|---|---|
| Evaporator coil cleaning | $180 - $340 |
| Blower assembly cleaning | $160 - $280 |
| Condenser coil cleaning | $140 - $240 |
Why does my AC run constantly in summer?
A clogged evaporator coil or dirty blower can’t move enough air to reach the thermostat setpoint, so the system never cycles off. In Bedford’s 100°F July stretches, that constant runtime accelerates compressor wear and drives electric bills up 20-40%. Call (817) 520-8797 and we’ll inspect the coil and blower, put a written price next to any recommended cleaning, and show you the photo evidence before you decide.
How do I know the coil was actually cleaned?
Every CleanRun job includes a Documented Photo Record of every component cleaned, the coil and blower included, delivered as part of your standard job file. Haven Standard Clause 1 requires written pricing before work starts; Clause 6 requires photographic verification of completed scope.
Air Quality & Sanitizing in Bedford
Bedford’s aging flex-duct liner sheds fiberglass and collects allergen loads from North Texas’s extended pollen seasons, creating conditions where microbial growth can establish in the plenum and trunk lines. The same separated duct joints that pull in attic air also introduce humidity variations that support mold in cooler duct sections. We treat these as system-wide air quality problems, not surface issues, because sanitizing a register without addressing the source in the trunk line wastes the customer’s money.
Mold Treatment
Signs you need it
Visible black or green growth at register edges, a persistent earthy odor when the system cycles, or household members with unexplained respiratory irritation.
What it costs in Bedford
Whole-system mold treatment in Bedford typically ranges from $450 to $780.
How we do it
We apply EPA-registered fungistat to all interior duct surfaces using a fogging system, treat the plenum and trunk lines first, then each branch run, and verify coverage with UV fluorescence inspection.
UV Light Installation
Signs you need it
Repeated microbial growth after cleaning, high humidity in the air handler cabinet, or a home with limited fresh-air ventilation.
What it costs in Bedford
UV-C light installation in Bedford typically ranges from $320 to $580 per unit.
How we do it
We mount a Honeywell or Guardsman UV-C lamp in the supply plenum, wire to the blower circuit for automatic operation, and position for direct line-of-sight to the coil surface without blocking airflow.
What Air Quality & Sanitizing Costs in Bedford
| Item | Typical range in Bedford |
|---|---|
| Whole-system mold treatment | $450 - $780 |
| UV-C light installation | $320 - $580 |
| Bacteria sanitizing (whole system) | $280 - $480 |
Can mold in ducts make my family sick?
Airborne mold spores from duct growth can trigger allergic reactions, asthma episodes, and chronic irritation in sensitive individuals; we treat it as a legitimate health concern, not a sales opportunity. Call (817) 520-8797 for a written inspection scope and flat price before any treatment begins.
How long does UV light last?
UV-C lamps lose effective output after roughly 9,000 hours of operation, about 12-14 months in a typical Bedford home; we note installation date on the lamp housing and include replacement scheduling in the job record.
Brands We Service in Bedford
We stock parts and service equipment from Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Guardsman, with Rotobrush and Nikro cleaning systems on every truck. Most common components are available same-day through our Dallas-Fort Worth supply chain. See our brands for the full equipment roster.
