Air Duct Cleaning in McKinney and Collin County
Whole house, flat rate: $395 to $495
Whole-house duct cleaning in McKinney is a flat $395 to $495, and the number is only worth paying for one method. The industry standard is source removal: the entire duct system is put under negative pressure with a truck-mounted or high-powered portable vacuum, every duct run is agitated with rotating brushes and compressed-air whips to break loose what is stuck to the walls, and the debris is pulled to the collection unit instead of being blown around the house. That is what the National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA) specifies, and it is what we do.
What a whole-house cleaning includes
- Every supply register and return grille removed, cleaned and reinstalled.
- Every supply and return duct run agitated and vacuumed under negative pressure.
- Main supply and return trunk lines cleaned.
- Return plenum and supply plenum cleaned.
- Air handler blower compartment vacuumed; full blower and coil cleaning is a separate service if it is needed.
- New filter installed.
- Before and after photos of the inside of the ducts, texted to you.
Most Collin County homes built since the 1990s have flexible duct in a hot attic that sags, collects dust in the low spots and tears at the joints, so cleaning here means resealing the runs, not just vacuuming them. Homes in Frisco, Prosper and Celina built since 2015 often still hold drywall dust from construction.
When it is worth doing
- You moved into a home and do not know its history.
- Renovation or new construction left drywall dust in the system.
- Pets, smoking, or a prior water leak.
- Visible dust blowing from registers, or dust that returns a day after cleaning.
- Allergy symptoms that improve when you leave the house.
When it is not worth doing: a clean system in a newer home with no visible buildup. If the camera inspection shows clean ducts, we will tell you and charge only the inspection.
Pricing
The flat $395 to $495 covers a typical single-system home. A second system on the same visit is $250, and homes over about 3,500 square feet are priced from the square footage when you book. Dryer vent cleaning added to the same visit brings the pair to $475 to $575. Nothing is priced per vent, and nothing gets added once the crew is in the house.
Gray registers a week after a new filter mean the dust is coming from inside the ducts. Call (972) 526-5865 for McKinney and the rest of Collin County; the price is set on that call, not in the hallway.
