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 McKinney, TX
HVAC cleaning in McKinney typically runs $350-$650 for a whole-system job, and most homes built during the 2000s-2010s growth surge need it now. We’re CleanRun Duct Repair & Cleaning, and we dispatch crews to McKinney from our Dallas-Fort Worth office. Every job starts with a written price before any panel comes off, and every duct run is photographed before and after. Call (469) 452-7766 for a free estimate.
Why McKinney Homes Are Different
McKinney’s population exploded from roughly 54,000 in 2000 to well over 200,000 today, and that growth produced wave after wave of rapidly built tract homes in master-planned communities like Stonebridge Ranch, Craig Ranch, and Trinity Falls. Most of these 2000s-2010s builds used flexible duct systems that are now 10-20 years old and have often never been cleaned since construction dust, drywall particles, and insulation fibers were sealed inside at build time.
North Texas clay soil shifts constantly, and that foundation movement sags attic-run flex duct, collapsing sections and concentrating debris at low points. In Stonebridge Ranch and Craig Ranch, we regularly find original builder-installed flex duct with factory-crimped joints that have partially opened over 15 years, blowing conditioned air into the attic. The homeowner called for dust; we found a disconnected duct run. McKinney’s extreme summer heat, with HVAC systems running almost continuously from June through September, pushes cedar, oak, grass, and ragweed pollen through these compromised systems at accelerated rates.
Our Main McKinney Services
McKinney homeowners call us most often for these three services:
Air Duct Cleaning in McKinney
We clean the full duct network, from return plenum (the sheet-metal box that collects air before it hits the furnace) to every supply register, using negative-pressure extraction (suction that pulls debris out rather than pushing it deeper). In McKinney’s 2000s-era homes, we typically find construction debris still trapped at the first elbow, plus pollen buildup from North Texas’s extended allergy seasons. Every run is photographed before and after. Air Duct Cleaning in McKinney includes the full documented photo record.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in McKinney
Dryer vent blockages are a fire hazard, and McKinney’s hard water and lint-heavy fabrics compound the problem. We pull the full lint column from the vent cap to the appliance connection, then verify airflow with an anemometer (a wind-speed gauge). Dryer Vent Cleaning in McKinney is quoted upfront with a written price.
Duct Repair & Sealing in McKinney
Disconnected flex duct, torn plenum seams, and failed tape at joints are standard findings in McKinney’s aging tract-home stock. We repair or replace damaged sections, then seal with mastic (a brush-applied rubberized compound) or metal-backed tape rated for HVAC use. Duct Repair & Sealing in McKinney restores system efficiency and stops attic air loss.

BeforeAfterHVAC Cleaning in McKinney
McKinney’s 2000s-2010s homes are hitting their first major HVAC maintenance window, and the combination of original construction debris, a decade of pollen loading, and clay-soil-damaged ductwork means the air handler and coil are working harder than designed. HVAC Cleaning from CleanRun addresses the full system, not just the visible registers. Here’s what McKinney homeowners actually need.
Evaporator Coil Cleaning
Signs you need it
Ice on the coil, weak airflow from registers, or the system running continuously without reaching set temperature.
What it costs in McKinney
Evaporator coil cleaning typically runs $180-$320 in McKinney.
How we do it
We access the coil through the plenum, apply foaming cleaner, rinse with low-pressure water, and photograph the before and after condition for the job record.
Blower Cleaning
Signs you need it
Dust puffing from registers at startup, uneven heating or cooling across rooms, or a blower motor straining audibly.
What it costs in McKinney
Blower cleaning and wheel balancing typically runs $150-$280 in McKinney.
How we do it
We remove the blower assembly, clean the squirrel cage and housing with compressed air and solvent, balance the wheel, and reinstall with a fresh filter.
What HVAC Cleaning Costs in McKinney
| Item | Typical range in McKinney |
|---|---|
| Evaporator coil cleaning | $180-$320 |
| Blower cleaning | $150-$280 |
| Full HVAC cleaning (coil + blower + cabinet) | $350-$650 |
How do I know my HVAC system needs cleaning, not just my ducts?
If your registers blow clean but rooms never reach temperature, or the air handler runs loud, the coil or blower is likely clogged. We inspect both during every McKinney visit and show you the photo evidence. Call (469) 452-7766 for a free estimate.
Can HVAC cleaning fix my high summer electric bills in McKinney?
A dirty coil or blower can raise energy use 15-30% by forcing longer run times. Cleaning restores designed airflow, though we won’t promise a specific dollar savings. Call (469) 452-7766 for an inspection and written quote.
Air Quality & Sanitizing in McKinney
McKinney’s pollen load is extreme, and homes with partially disconnected flex duct pull unfiltered attic air into the living space, introducing mold spores and fiberglass particles. Air Quality & Sanitizing targets biological contaminants that standard cleaning leaves behind. Here’s what McKinney homeowners ask for.
Mold Treatment
Signs you need it
Musty smell at registers, visible spotting inside ductwork, or allergy symptoms that worsen when the system runs.
What it costs in McKinney
Whole-system mold treatment typically runs $400-$750 in McKinney.
How we do it
We apply an EPA-registered antimicrobial fog into the duct network under negative pressure, then verify treatment with post-application photo documentation.
UV Light Installation
Signs you need it
Recurring mold after cleaning, chronic allergy issues, or a humidifier keeping duct humidity above 60%.
What it costs in McKinney
UV-C light installation at the coil typically runs $350-$600 in McKinney.
How we do it
We mount a Honeywell or Aprilaire UV lamp at the coil and plenum junction, wire to the air handler’s 24-volt circuit, and include the bulb replacement schedule in your job record.
What Air Quality & Sanitizing Costs in McKinney
| Item | Typical range in McKinney |
|---|---|
| Mold treatment (whole system) | $400-$750 |
| UV light installation | $350-$600 |
| Combined sanitizing + UV package | $650-$1,100 |
Is mold in McKinney ducts common because of the heat?
Heat alone doesn’t cause mold, humidity does, and McKinney’s occasional duct leaks plus humidifier overuse create pockets above 60% relative humidity. We find it most often in Trinity Falls homes with original flex duct. Call (469) 452-7766 for a photo inspection.
Will UV lights kill pollen too?
UV-C targets mold, bacteria, and viruses, not pollen, which is a particulate, not a living organism. For pollen, pair UV with high-MERV filtration. We stock Honeywell and Aprilaire media filters and can include them in your written quote.

We carry parts and stock filters for Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Rotobrush systems, and our Nikro and Abatement Technologies equipment handles the full range of McKinney residential duct configurations.
