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.

AfterAbatement Technologies HVAC Cleaning in Plano: What to Know First
CleanRun Duct Repair & Cleaning provides independent Abatement Technologies HVAC cleaning in Plano, with most evaporator coil, blower, and air handler jobs completed in a single scheduled visit. Every job starts with a written price before any panel comes off, and every customer receives a documented photo record of what was found inside their system. We do not use $79 teaser pricing or per-vent add-ons; Haven Standard Clause 1 requires us to name the full system price in writing before work begins. If you own an Abatement Technologies HEPA-AIRE or Predator series unit in Plano, call (469) 452-7766 for a free estimate with no obligation.
How Abatement Technologies Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- Predator 1200 blower motor bearing wear. The high-RPM design that makes this portable unit effective also accelerates bearing fatigue, especially after Plano’s dusty spring seasons when pollen loads spike. We disassemble the blower housing, photograph the bearing condition, and replace with OEM or SKF-certified aftermarket bearings - never generic hardware-store substitutes that void the remaining motor warranty.
- HEPA-AIRE PAS2400 filter seal degradation. The neoprene gasket between the HEPA filter and housing compresses permanently after roughly 18-24 months in North Texas heat, bypassing unfiltered air. Our crew measures the actual gap with a feeler gauge, photographs the bypass path, and installs factory-spec replacement seals rather than RTV silicone patches that fail within a season.
- Aire Guardian AG8000 evaporator coil fin corrosion. Plano’s hard water and high summer humidity create calcium scaling on the aluminum fins, reducing heat transfer efficiency by 15-30% before the owner notices warm air. We apply foaming cleaner at manufacturer-specified dilution, use a fin comb set to 8-14 fins per inch depending on the coil generation, and document the pressure differential before and after with a digital manometer.
- Predator 600 axial fan imbalance from debris accumulation. The compact axial fan draws construction dust and pet dander directly into the blade hub, throwing the assembly off-balance and causing frame vibration. We remove the entire fan module, clean the hub cavity with controlled compressed air, and run a dynamic balance check before reassembly - not a surface wipe that leaves the root cause intact.
- HEPA-AIRE vacuum motor thermal cutoff failure. Repeated overheating cycles in Plano attic installations, where summer ambient temperatures exceed 140°F, degrade the thermal protector. We test the cutoff response with a heat gun and millivolt meter, replace with the exact OEM thermal rating, and note the attic ventilation condition in the written job record for the homeowner’s reference.
Our Abatement Technologies HVAC Cleaning Process
- 1
System inspection with photo documentation. We remove access panels and photograph the evaporator coil, blower assembly, and plenum condition before touching anything. Tomas Reyes started this practice in 2013 because, as he puts it, “Show the photo first. Talk second.”
- 2
Written scope and price delivered. Based on what the camera showed, we deliver a written price for the full system cleaning - no per-vent breakdowns, no open-ended hourly rates. Haven Standard Clause 1: the price is fixed before work starts.
- 3
Parts decision: OEM vs. quality aftermarket. For Abatement Technologies units still under warranty, we use OEM filters, seals, and bearings. For out-of-warranty systems, we source equivalent aftermarket parts from recognized manufacturers and document the equivalency in writing.
- 4
Controlled cleaning and component service. We use Abatement Technologies-compatible foaming agents and negative-pressure extraction equipment from Rotobrush and Nikro to prevent debris migration into occupied space. Every duct run is isolated during service.
- 5
Performance verification. We measure static pressure, airflow at the register, and temperature split across the coil, comparing to manufacturer specifications for the specific Abatement Technologies model.
- 6
Documented photo record and written guarantee delivered. Before-and-after photos of every cleaned component, plus the 365-Day Done Right Promise, are provided as standard deliverables - not extras, not upgrades.
BeforeAfterWhat Abatement Technologies HVAC Cleaning Costs in Plano
| Service | Typical Range | What Affects Price |
|---|---|---|
| Evaporator coil cleaning (Abatement Technologies HEPA-AIRE series) | $280-$420 | Coil accessibility, fin corrosion severity, whether drain pan requires separate service |
| Blower motor and housing cleaning (Predator 600/1200) | $240-$380 | Bearing condition, need for replacement vs. cleaning, motor removal complexity |
| Full air handler cleaning (Aire Guardian AG8000) | $450-$650 | Filter seal replacement, UV light integration, duct connection condition |
| Condenser coil cleaning (outdoor unit) | $180-$290 | Fins per inch density, debris type (cottonwood, construction dust), chemical treatment needed |
These are whole-system prices, not per-vent or per-hour figures. The invoice matches the written estimate unless we find something the initial inspection could not reveal - in which case we stop, photograph it, and present a revised scope before continuing.

Why Plano Homeowners Call CleanRun Duct Repair & Cleaning for Abatement Technologies Work
We’ve cleaned Abatement Technologies systems in Plano since 2013, including the older ranch-style homes near the Shops at Legacy where original flex duct from the early 1990s still complicates access. Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed under Haven Standard Clause 3: Verified Crews, and we carry full equipment redundancy - if an Abatement Technologies part is backordered, we can cross-reference Lennox, Trane, and Carrier equivalents to keep the system operational while the OEM ships.
Every job concludes with a documented photo record and the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If the work is not right, we make it right - not as a favor, but as a contractual obligation. Tomas Reyes built this standard after years of seeing customers left with verbal promises that evaporated when the truck left the driveway.
FAQs
Abatement Technologies warranties cover defects in materials and workmanship; they do not cover maintenance cleaning or damage caused by neglect. However, using an unauthorized service provider does not automatically void the warranty - the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act prohibits manufacturers from requiring brand-specific service for warranty coverage to remain valid. We document our cleaning methods and products used so you have a record if warranty questions arise later. Call (469) 452-7766 if you need help interpreting your specific warranty terms.
We photograph part labels before installation and include them in the documented photo record delivered with every job. For out-of-warranty systems where we propose quality aftermarket equivalents, we provide the manufacturer specification sheet and explain the equivalency in writing. Haven Standard Clause 2: Documented Materials. If you want to verify a part number yourself, we leave the packaging available for inspection.
Replacement becomes the better financial decision when the cleaning cost exceeds 40% of a comparable new unit installed, or when the system has required repeated service for the same component within 24 months. We do not sell replacement equipment, so our recommendation carries no commission incentive - we document the condition, name the repair price, and let the numbers speak. For a second opinion on any replacement quote, bring us the written estimate; we’ll put our number next to it at no charge.
A typical evaporator coil and blower cleaning on a HEPA-AIRE or Predator series unit takes 2.5 to 4 hours, depending on contamination level and component accessibility. Full air handler service on an Aire Guardian AG8000 runs 4 to 6 hours. We schedule specific arrival windows, not all-day waits, and the technician calls 30 minutes before arrival.
Yes, measurably, when the restriction is caused by debris buildup rather than mechanical failure. We have recorded static pressure drops of 0.3 to 0.6 inches water column after coil cleaning on systems that had not been serviced in 3+ years, which translates to reduced blower motor load and more consistent temperature delivery. We measure and document before-and-after pressure readings with calibrated manometers - not guesswork - so you can see the actual change.
