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 Garland, TX
Whole-system HVAC cleaning in Garland typically runs $350-$650 for a single-family home, with most jobs completed in one scheduled visit. Garland’s concentration of 1960s-1980s tract housing on the Blackland Prairie means we regularly clean ductwork that has never been opened in 40-60 years, often finding separated joints from clay soil shifting under slab foundations. We dispatch crews from our Dallas-Fort Worth office and serve Garland neighborhoods directly; call (469) 452-7766 for a written estimate before any work begins.
Why Garland Homes Are Different
Garland’s residential core was built during one of North Texas’s fastest suburban expansions, from the late 1950s through the early 1980s. The resulting slab-on-grade tract homes sit atop the Blackland Prairie’s famously expansive black clay, which swells in wet seasons and contracts in drought, cracking foundations and pulling ductwork apart at the seams. We’ve found flex duct collars completely detached from plenums in east Garland neighborhoods, dumping conditioned air and attic debris into wall cavities rather than living spaces.
Original rigid sheet-metal ductwork in these homes often carries degraded fiberglass interior liner that sheds particulate directly into the airstream. Early flex duct has grown brittle. Six-month cooling seasons pull heavy spring pollen loads through compromised systems, while summer humidity condenses on uninsulated metal runs. The result: Garland’s dominant service profile is aging, likely-never-cleaned systems that need joint inspection and resealing as much as debris removal.
Our Main Garland Services
Garland homeowners call us most often for deep system cleaning and documented restoration work. Three services have dedicated Garland pages with full local detail:
Air Duct Cleaning in Garland
Full negative-pressure extraction of every duct run, register to plenum, with before-and-after photography of each line. In Garland’s 1960s-1980s housing stock, we regularly remove decades of accumulated pollen, degraded fiberglass liner, and rodent debris from original systems that have never been professionally opened. Air Duct Cleaning in Garland covers our complete process, pricing, and what the photo record includes.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Garland
Lint accumulation in dryer exhaust runs is a leading home fire cause nationwide, and Garland’s older homes often have original vent routing through multiple bends or terminated in crawl spaces that complicate cleaning. We remove the full lint column with rotary tools and verify airflow at termination. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Garland details our process and flat-rate pricing.
Duct Repair & Sealing in Garland
Blackland Prairie clay shifting under Garland slabs routinely separates duct joints and crushes low-clearance runs. What’s booked as cleaning frequently reveals disconnected sections dumping conditioned air into attics. We reseal joints with mastic, replace crushed flex, and restore system pressure. Duct Repair & Sealing in Garland explains our repair scope and how we document before-and-after airflow.

BeforeAfterHVAC Cleaning in Garland
Garland’s six-month cooling season and heavy spring pollen loads mean residential HVAC components operate under sustained particulate stress that newer suburbs simply don’t match. Evaporator coils in these aging systems often carry years of biofilm buildup, while blower wheels lose balance from accumulated debris. HVAC Cleaning addresses the full air-handling chain, not just ductwork, and is essential for homes where the original equipment has never been opened.
Evaporator Coil Cleaning
Signs you need it
Ice formation on refrigerant lines, weak airflow from registers, or AC running continuously without reaching setpoint in Garland’s July heat.
What it costs in Garland
Evaporator coil cleaning in Garland typically ranges $180-$320, depending on access panel configuration and buildup severity.
How we do it
We remove the coil assembly where accessible, apply foaming cleaner formulated for aluminum fins, rinse with low-pressure water, and photograph the fin condition before reassembly.
Blower Cleaning
Signs you need it
Vibration noise at startup, uneven airflow room-to-room, or a visible dust ring on the blower housing visible through the filter slot.
What it costs in Garland
Blower wheel and housing cleaning in Garland typically ranges $150-$280.
How we do it
We remove the blower assembly, clean the wheel vanes with compressed air and solvent, balance-check the shaft, and photograph housing interior condition before reinstalling.
What HVAC Cleaning Costs in Garland
| Item | Typical range in Garland |
|---|---|
| Evaporator coil cleaning | $180-$320 |
| Blower cleaning | $150-$280 |
| Condenser coil cleaning | $120-$220 |
How do I know my HVAC components are actually dirty?
We photograph every component before touching it; you’ll see the debris layer on your own coil or blower wheel before we quote cleaning. Call (469) 452-7766 to schedule an inspection with photo documentation.
Can HVAC cleaning fix my AC not keeping up in summer?
Restricted airflow from dirty coils or blowers is a common cause of poor cooling in Garland’s 100-degree stretches; cleaning often restores capacity without refrigerant work. We measure static pressure before and after to verify improvement.
Air Quality & Sanitizing in Garland
Garland’s aging ductwork, summer humidity spikes, and six-month cooling season create conditions for microbial growth that newer suburbs rarely face. Degraded fiberglass liner in 1960s-1980s systems provides organic substrate; condensation on uninsulated metal runs supplies moisture. Air Quality & Sanitizing targets these biological contaminants with application-specific treatments, not generic spray-and-walk-away service.
Mold Treatment
Signs you need it
Musty odor at register startup, visible black or green staining on duct interior visible through register openings, or aggravated allergies when AC first cycles on.
What it costs in Garland
Whole-system mold treatment in Garland typically ranges $400-$750, including application and post-treatment verification sampling.
How we do it
We apply EPA-registered antimicrobial through the full duct network using mechanical fogging equipment, treat the evaporator coil and plenum, and deliver dated treatment documentation with photo verification.
UV Light Installation
Signs you need it
Recurring microbial growth after cleaning, chronic musty odor, or household members with mold-sensitive respiratory conditions.
What it costs in Garland
UV-C lamp installation in Garland typically ranges $350-$600, including lamp, housing, and electrical connection to the air handler.
How we do it
We mount a Honeywell or Aprilaire UV lamp upstream of the evaporator coil, wire to the air handler’s 24V circuit, and verify irradiance at the coil surface with a meter.
What Air Quality & Sanitizing Costs in Garland
| Item | Typical range in Garland |
|---|---|
| Mold treatment (whole system) | $400-$750 |
| UV light installation | $350-$600 |
| Bacteria sanitizing | $300-$550 |
Does UV light actually prevent mold in Garland’s humid summers?
Properly positioned UV-C at the coil surface inhibits biofilm formation where condensation collects; we install upstream of the coil for maximum exposure and verify output annually. Call (469) 452-7766 to discuss lamp placement for your specific air handler.
How do I verify mold treatment was actually applied throughout my ducts?
We photograph every register, trunk line, and plenum before and after treatment, with timestamps; the photo record is included as a standard deliverable under Haven Standard Clause 2.
