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.
Abatement Technologies Coil Cleaning: The Plano Owner’s Guide
We stock and install Abatement Technologies-compatible coil cleaning assemblies for residential HVAC systems in Plano, with typical installed pricing between $340 and $620 depending on accessibility and contamination level. Most calls we book in Plano before noon are completed same-day. Homeowners usually notice the problem first as a gradual rise in summer electric bills, followed by weak airflow from registers even when the blower runs continuously.
Which Abatement Technologies Models This Applies To
Abatement Technologies builds coil cleaning equipment primarily for their CAP series portable air scrubbers and HEPA-AIRE negative pressure systems, with model numbers starting CAP600, CAP1200, and the older PAS2400 line. The coil cleaning assemblies on these units are not universal across series; the CAP1200 uses a wider 24-inch fin pack that will not seat properly in a CAP600 frame, and the mounting bracket spacing differs by half an inch, which is enough to cause vibration and premature seal failure.
To identify your unit, check the metal specification plate on the blower housing, not the filter frame. The plate lists the serial number, manufacturing date, and voltage configuration. Units manufactured before 2018 used a two-post coil mount; 2018 and later switched to a three-post design with captured fasteners. We stock both configurations on our Plano trucks, along with the compatible gasket sets that Abatement Technologies specifies but many aftermarket kits omit.
We are an independent service provider with no affiliation to Abatement Technologies. When we recommend an OEM coil assembly versus a quality aftermarket equivalent, the decision comes down to warranty terms and whether your unit runs in commercial rotation. The OEM part carries a 12-month manufacturer defect warranty; the aftermarket equivalent we source matches the fin density and aluminum gauge but carries our own 365-Day Done Right Promise instead.
Signs Your Abatement Technologies Coil Cleaning Is Failing

- Frozen or iced evaporator coils. Restricted airflow across a contaminated coil drops the surface temperature below dew point, and eventually below freezing. In Plano’s July humidity, we regularly see ice formations an inch thick on systems that haven’t been opened in five years.
- Musty or sour odor from registers. Bacterial growth on the coil surface produces a distinct wet-cardboard smell that air fresheners won’t mask. The camera usually shows a biofilm layer, not just dust.
- Short cycling or compressor strain. A dirty coil forces the refrigerant system to work harder to achieve the same heat exchange. The compressor draws higher amperage and may trip thermal overloads on the hottest Plano afternoons.
- Water pooling below the air handler. Algae and debris clog the condensate pan drain pathway. The pan overflows before the safety switch can respond, especially on horizontal installations common in Plano’s attic-mounted systems.
- Visible fin corrosion or flattening. North Texas hard water and acidic condensate eat aluminum fins from the outside in. Once fin integrity drops below 70%, cleaning restores less and less capacity.

AfterReplacement Cost & What’s Included
| Service Component | Price Range |
|---|---|
| Basic coil cleaning (accessible, moderate contamination) | $340 - $450 |
| Heavy restoration (deep contamination, fin combing, biocide treatment) | $480 - $620 |
| Coil assembly replacement with OEM part | $520 - $780 |
| Coil assembly replacement with quality aftermarket | $420 - $640 |
What drives the range: attic access difficulty, whether the plenum (the sheet metal box distributing air to your duct runs) must be cut and resealed, and the actual condition we photograph inside. Every Plano job starts with Haven Standard Clause 1: a written price delivered before any work begins, based on what our camera shows, not a phone guess. The price includes the documented photo record of every duct run, before and after, delivered as part of your standard job record. Our 365-Day Done Right Promise applies to all coil work in writing, not as a verbal assurance.
DIY or Call Us?

An owner can safely check the filter condition, confirm the thermostat is calling for cooling, and verify that return registers aren’t blocked by furniture. Beyond that, coil work involves refrigerant lines under pressure, electrical disconnects, and often sheet metal edges sharp enough to need stitches. We don’t recommend DIY coil removal; the fins are fragile, the refrigerant charge must be recovered legally, and an improperly seated coil will leak condensate into your ceiling for weeks before you notice.
What we do recommend: call us at (469) 452-7766, let us photograph what’s actually inside your system, and we’ll show you the photo first. Talk second. The written price follows the evidence, and you decide from there.
FAQs
In Plano’s climate, with proper filtration and annual maintenance, an aluminum coil assembly lasts 12 to 15 years. Without regular cleaning, North Texas dust load and high summer runtime often cut that to 8 to 10 years. Call (469) 452-7766 for an exact assessment of your unit’s condition - estimates are free.
Cleaning restores capacity if the fins are intact and there’s no refrigerant leak. Once fins are corroded through or the copper tubing has pinholes from formicary corrosion, replacement is the only lasting fix. We document both options in writing with photos so you can see the difference.
A standard coil cleaning takes 2 to 3 hours including setup, documentation, and reassembly. A full replacement with plenum modification runs 4 to 6 hours. We schedule with realistic windows, not phantom arrival times.
We carry the common CAP600 and CAP1200 coil assemblies, gasket sets, and mounting hardware on our Plano service vehicles. Less common PAS2400 components are available next-day from our regional supplier. We confirm parts availability when we schedule, not when we arrive.
CleanRun Duct Repair & Cleaning also stocks parts and performs coil service for Lennox, Trane, and Carrier systems throughout the Plano area.
