Frequently Asked Questions

We seal your vents and attach a high-powered negative-air machine to your trunk line, creating suction throughout the system. Then we feed rotary brushes and compressed-air whips through every supply and return run to dislodge debris, which the vacuum pulls out through a HEPA-filtered collection unit. We clean the plenum, registers, and accessible components of the air handler. The process takes 2-4 hours for a typical Fort Worth home. Call (817) 520-8797 to book a slot.

Most single-family homes in Fort Worth, Keller, or Arlington take 2.5 to 4 hours from arrival to final walkthrough. Larger homes in Southlake or Colleyville with multiple systems may take longer. We arrive in a named window, text when we are on the way, and do not rush the documentation. Haven Standard Clause 2. Call (817) 520-8797 and we will estimate based on your square footage and system count.

The National Air Duct Cleaners Association recommends every 3-5 years for most homes. In Fort Worth, we find homeowners in older neighborhoods like Fairmount or near the Trinity River may need more frequent service due to higher pollen loads, post-construction dust, or aging ductwork. If you have pets, allergies, or recent remodeling, consider shorter intervals. We inspect first and advise honestly. Call (817) 520-8797 for a no-pressure assessment.

Clean ducts allow your HVAC system to move air with less resistance, which can improve efficiency modestly. The bigger gains usually come from sealing leaks and ensuring your blower and coils are clean, which we inspect and can address if needed. We do not promise dramatic bill drops. We document what we found and let the evidence speak. Call (817) 520-8797 for an honest evaluation of your system.

Not effectively. Consumer-grade vacuums and register brushes cannot create the sealed negative pressure needed to pull debris from deep in the trunk lines, and disturbing dust without proper containment can worsen indoor air quality. In Fort Worth's clay-soil climate, we regularly find compacted dust and construction debris that requires commercial rotary equipment. For your own safety and your system's integrity, we recommend professional cleaning. Call (817) 520-8797 for a proper job.

We use commercial-grade negative-air machines, rotary brush systems, and HEPA-filtered collection units. Our Fort Worth crews are equipped with Rotobrush systems for residential trunk-and-branch cleaning and Nikro industrial vacuums for larger commercial jobs. The right tool depends on your duct material, age, and contamination level. We assess before we choose. Call (817) 520-8797 and we will explain what your system needs.

We clean and seal existing ductwork. For replacement or major repair, we coordinate with licensed HVAC contractors in our Fort Worth network. If our inspection reveals disconnected runs, collapsed flex duct, or asbestos-lined pipe in pre-1980s homes near the Cultural District, we document it and refer you to a specialist. We do not perform work outside our expertise. Call (817) 520-8797 for an honest assessment.

We typically recommend pleated media filters with a MERV rating of 8-13 for Fort Worth's dust and pollen load, balanced against your system's blower capacity. Higher is not always better. A restrictive filter can strain the motor. We check your static pressure during cleaning and advise accordingly. Honeywell and other major brands are available through our supply partners. Call (817) 520-8797 for filter guidance matched to your equipment.

Every pro working under our name is required to hold the license and insurance Texas requires for HVAC and duct cleaning work. We carry general liability and workers' compensation coverage, and our license numbers are available on request. Independently owned and operated does not mean independently accountable. The Haven Standard applies nationwide, and our documentation system proves compliance on every job. Call (817) 520-8797 to verify our standing.

Haven Standard Clause 3 requires verified crews. Every technician working under our name must pass the background and drug screening our system mandates, and we maintain records of their licensing status. You receive the technician's name before arrival, and they arrive in a marked vehicle. We do not send unnamed subs to your door. Call (817) 520-8797 to ask about our crew verification process.

Look for NADCA membership, which indicates training in proper mechanical cleaning methods, and verify the company follows source-removal techniques rather than chemical fogging or sealants. Ask for proof of insurance and a written scope of work. In Fort Worth's competitive market, many operators lack even basic liability coverage. We welcome these questions. Call (817) 520-8797 and we will send our documentation before you commit.

We answer our phone 24/7, and our coordinator can schedule urgent service for situations like post-fire smoke contamination, water damage, or construction debris threatening your HVAC system. True emergencies in ductwork are rare. Most cleaning is scheduled maintenance, and we do not manufacture urgency. If you have a genuine situation, call (817) 520-8797 and we will assess whether same-week or emergency scheduling is warranted.

Yes. Smoke and water damage require specialized cleaning protocols and often coordination with your insurance adjuster. We document pre-existing conditions, clean or replace contaminated components, and provide the photographic evidence insurers require. In Fort Worth's older neighborhoods like Mistletoe Heights, we have handled post-pipe-burst cleanouts where plaster dust and moisture created serious mold risk. Call (817) 520-8797 for fire and flood duct remediation.

We typically schedule within 3-7 business days depending on season and your location in the metroplex. Spring pollen season and post-holiday January rush fill fastest. We do not promise same-day or next-day service because duct cleaning is a scheduled, thorough job, not a rush dispatch. You receive a named arrival window and a text when your technician is en route. Haven Standard Clause 2. Call (817) 520-8797 for our current availability.

Our work is warranted against defects in workmanship for a period specified in your written invoice. If we missed a run, damaged a register, or failed to deliver the documented scope, we return and correct it at no charge. The warranty does not cover new contamination after we leave. We have honored this since 2013 by fixing the rare issue promptly and documenting the resolution. Call (817) 520-8797 for warranty terms in writing before you book.

The Haven Standard is the five-clause promise that governs every CleanRun job: Clause 1, flat written price before work starts; Clause 2, scheduled arrival with named technician and en-route text; Clause 3, verified licensed and insured crews; Clause 4, photographic evidence of every run before and after; Clause 5, no surprises, no upsells, no scope creep. It was developed in 2013 in response to an industry rife with coupon bait-and-switch, and it is stamped on every page and invoice we issue. Call (817) 520-8797 to hold us to it.

Call us. We review your photos and notes, and if we failed to deliver the scope in your written quote, we make it right. This is rare. Our documentation system makes disputes easy to resolve with evidence rather than argument. We do not hide behind fine print. The Haven Standard has governed 52,000+ homes since 2013, and we intend to keep that record clean. Call (817) 520-8797 if anything falls short.

Yes. Our Fort Worth branch covers Haltom City, Lake Worth, Saginaw, Richland Hills, Watauga, North Richland Hills, Benbrook, Keller, Bedford, Colleyville, and Arlington. We know the ductwork differences between 1950s ranch homes in Lake Worth and newer builds in Keller, and we adjust our approach accordingly. Travel beyond this radius may incur a modest trip charge, quoted in writing. Call (817) 520-8797 to confirm service to your address.
