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.
Fast, Reliable HVAC Cleaning Across Colleyville
HVAC cleaning in Colleyville runs $350 – $650 for a full system on a typical single-family home, including the evaporator coil, blower, supply and return ducts, and air handler. Most jobs take four to six hours when done properly. We schedule across all of Colleyville including the neighborhoods along Cheek-Sparger Road, Glade Road, and Highway 26, with crews dispatched from our Dallas-Fort Worth office. Call (737) 727-2314 and a live person answers, any hour.
Colleyville’s housing stock does not fit a single template. Homes range from 1980s brick two-stories to 2000s estate builds to newer infill construction, and the ductwork inside them differs just as much. That is exactly why we send a background-checked technician who inspects before cleaning, quotes one flat price per system in writing, and photographs everything from the first camera inspection to the final register.

We also operate under The Relay Visibility Guarantee, which means every booking includes a live trackable arrival time, before-and-after photo documentation of your actual ducts, and a digital invoice you can pay from your phone.
Evaporator Coil Cleaning in Colleyville
Evaporator coil cleaning in Colleyville typically runs $180 – $340, and it is one of the most overlooked jobs in local HVAC maintenance. The coil sits inside the air handler, usually in a tight Colleyville attic space where heat and humidity work against it. When it gets matted with dust and the pollen that blows through every spring, the coil cannot transfer heat efficiently. Your system runs longer cycles, your blower motor works harder, and your summer electric bill climbs.
Our approach starts with accessing the coil properly, even in the low-clearance attics common around the Tara and Montclair neighborhoods. We then apply a professional coil treatment, allow it to break down the buildup, and flush the coil clean using controlled water pressure that protects the fins. This is not a quick spray-and-go job; it is a methodical cleaning that restores airflow and drops the load on your compressor.
The Real Cost of a Dirty Coil
A furnace or AC system with a matted coil can run 15 – 20 percent less efficiently than one with a clean coil. We have seen Colleyville homeowners pay for refrigerant top-offs they did not need simply because the coil was so clogged the system could not shed heat. Cleaning the coil is cheaper than a compressor replacement by a factor of ten. When our crew finishes, we photograph the coil before and after so you can see exactly what you paid for.
AC Duct Cleaning in Colleyville
AC duct cleaning in Colleyville for a standard single system runs $350 – $650 depending on the number of returns, the length of trunk line, and whether the home has flexible duct or hard-piped metal. We quote one flat price for the entire system before any work starts. Never per-vent pricing. Per-vent pricing encourages crews to race through registers while leaving the main trunk lines untouched, and that is exactly the kind of corner-cutting that leaves Colleyville homes blowing dust from the vents a month later.
Our crew recently handled an HVAC cleaning on a two-story brick home near Colleyville Heritage High School where the return ducts had never been touched since the house was built in 1998. We ran a camera inspection through the main return trunk, found heavy dust and a few small drywall chunks from an old remodel, and used agitation tools plus negative pressure with HEPA filtration to pull it all out. The homeowner told us their blower motor had been running hotter than usual, and after we cleaned the evaporator coil and both supply and return ducts, the system cycled noticeably quieter and the registers stopped spitting dust.
How Our Cleaning Process Works
We seal each register and run negative-pressure extraction using Nikro HEPA vacuums. That means loosened debris goes straight into the vacuum, not back into your living room. Rotobrush agitation tools knock debris off the duct walls, and Abatement Technologies containment units keep the work area sealed while we move through the system. When we finish, we hand you before-and-after photos of your own ducts, not stock images from a brochure.
Trusted Brands We Service in Colleyville
We service all major HVAC equipment brands found across Colleyville, including Trane, Carrier, Lennox, Rheem, Goodman, and York. Whether your system was installed when the house was built in the early 1990s or it is a newer high-efficiency unit, our technicians know where to find the coil, how to access the blower cabinet, and which cleaning method fits the ductwork material. We also stock Guardsman and Honeywell filtration products for Colleyville customers who want upgraded media filters installed during the cleaning. Pairing a fresh filter with clean ducts is the fastest way to extend the life of the cleaning and keep allergens down through cedar season.
Common HVAC Cleaning Problems We See in Colleyville Homes
- Flexible duct runs in 1980s and 1990s attics that have sagged or kinked. These traps collect dust in low spots and often need resealing after cleaning. Where the duct has separated, we identify the break and can reseal or reattach it during the visit.
- Matted evaporator coils in tight attic air handlers. Colleyville’s humid springs and long cooling seasons mean coils here collect a thick paste of dust and moisture. A coil that has never been cleaned in a 20-year-old home is often the single biggest airflow restriction in the whole system.
- Construction debris left in return trunks from old remodels. We regularly find drywall scraps, paint chips, and even trim pieces inside return ducts in Colleyville homes that have been renovated over the years. These sit in the trunk and shed dust for years until someone actually looks.
- Clogged blower wheels that nobody has ever opened. The blower motor pulls air across itself for decades in some homes. We find blower wheels so caked with dust they are out of balance. Cleaning the wheel is part of a proper HVAC cleaning, and skipping it leaves a system that still runs loud and labored.

FAQs About HVAC Cleaning in Colleyville
Every four to six years for most Colleyville homes, sooner if you have pets, allergies, or recent renovations. Homes in areas with heavy construction traffic, like new infill developments, may need it more often. If your registers are coated with dust or you can smell musty air when the system kicks on, it is time. Call (737) 727-2314 and we will give you a straight answer based on what we see in a camera inspection, not a sales script.
One flat price for the entire system, agreed in writing before we start. We do not charge per vent, and we do not offer a low teaser price that turns into a much bigger invoice once the technician is inside your attic. Colleyville homeowners have seen that game before. Our quote covers the full supply and return duct system, the evaporator coil, the blower, and the air handler. If you want dryer vent cleaning added, we quote that separately and with the same flat pricing.
Yes, and we do it on every single job in Colleyville. It is part of The Relay Standard booking experience. We run a camera through your main trunk lines before cleaning and again after. You see the same sections of duct in both sets of photos. If we could not reach a section, we tell you so. No stock photos, no vague assurances. Call (737) 727-2314 and ask about our photo documentation when you book.
We do not promise same-day service for HVAC cleaning, and we recommend you be cautious of anyone who does. Proper cleaning takes four to six hours including setup, negative-pressure sealing, coil access, and photo documentation. A crew that rushes a same-day job in peak spring allergy season is a crew that skips the HEPA containment steps that keep dust out of your living room. We schedule Colleyville jobs for the earliest available appointment and give you a live trackable arrival window so you know exactly when we will be there.
No, dryer vent cleaning is a separate service, and we can add it to your HVAC cleaning visit for $90 – $140. The dryer vent is a single dedicated run from your dryer to the exterior, and it needs different tools than your air ducts. Clogged dryer vents are a fire hazard and worth cleaning every one to two years. Since we are already at your Colleyville home with containment gear and HEPA vacuums, bundling the two jobs saves you a separate trip charge.
