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.

AfterFast, Reliable Air Duct Cleaning Across Hurst
Air duct cleaning in Hurst, TX typically runs $350-$650 for a complete residential system, with most jobs finished in a single visit. Our crews are on the road throughout Tarrant County’s mid-cities corridor daily, and we keep Hurst on our regular routing schedule out of our Dallas-Fort Worth dispatch office. That means when you call (469) 972-3151, you’re talking to a live person who can book you into a defined arrival window, not a voicemail queue or an out-of-state call center.
We’ve worked in Hurst long enough to know what we’re walking into: a city built out decades ago, where the homes along Pipeline Road, the neighborhoods tucked behind Hurst Town Center, and the ranch-style houses near Bellaire Drive South share the same original ductwork. These aren’t new flex-duct systems. They’re fiberglass duct board and early flex runs that have baked through 40 to 50 North Texas summers with attic temperatures climbing past 140°F. That history changes how we clean, what we find, and what it actually takes to fix the airflow problems homeowners call us about.
Why Kestrel Air Duct Cleaning Is Hurst’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
Hurst homeowners aren’t looking for a coupon and a rushed vacuum job. They’re looking for someone who shows up in the window promised, puts the price in writing before touching a vent, and comes back if something fails. That’s the Kingswell Guarantee, and it’s been our standard since 2004.
Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and trained on professional-grade equipment, not box-store shop vacs. We use Rotobrush rotary brush systems for mechanical agitation at the duct wall, Nikro negative-pressure units to pull loosened debris out of the system, and Abatement Technologies HEPA filtration to keep particles out of your living space during the job. After the cleaning, we put our 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If the work falls short within that year, we return and make it right at no charge.
Calls are answered by a live person, 24/7. No automated menus. No callbacks tomorrow. When you’re dealing with dust pouring from a register or a system that can’t push air to the back bedrooms, you want a conversation with someone who can actually put you on the schedule.
Commercial Air Duct Cleaning in Hurst
Commercial Air Duct Cleaning in Hurst covers the full range of light commercial HVAC systems found in the city’s retail strips, medical offices, and small industrial spaces along Airport Freeway and the SH-183 corridor. These buildings often share a problem with Hurst’s residential stock: aging mechanical infrastructure installed during the mid-cities expansion of the 1970s and 1980s, now operating beyond its original design life. A typical commercial duct cleaning in Hurst runs $800-$2,400 depending on system size and accessibility, with larger rooftop units or multi-zone systems at the higher end.
System Assessment and Access Planning
Commercial jobs start with a walk-through to locate access panels, identify the duct material, and flag any confined-space or height concerns. We document the layout before we open anything, so the restoration is clean and the building’s operations aren’t disrupted.
Post-Cleaning Verification
After agitation and negative-air extraction, we run a visual check with inspection cameras and measure static pressure to confirm the system is moving design airflow. For Hurst businesses, that documentation matters for lease compliance and insurance records.
Air Duct Cleaning Services in Hurst
Air Duct Cleaning Services in Hurst are built around what we actually find in local homes: legacy duct systems that need more than a surface vacuum. A full residential cleaning in Hurst typically costs $350-$650, with video inspection and basic sealing included in that range. If we find delaminated duct board or crushed flex runs that need section replacement, we’ll show you the camera footage and give you a written price for the repair before any additional work begins.
Source Removal with Mechanical Agitation
Our Rotobrush system drives a rotating brush through the duct interior, dislodging debris that’s adhered to the walls after decades of accumulation. The Nikro negative-air unit maintains suction at the access point, so loosened material exits the system rather than resettling in your home. It’s the difference between stirring up dust and actually removing it.
Camera Inspection and Airflow Testing
We run a video camera through the full length of each branch line. In Hurst’s 1970s-era homes, this step regularly reveals delaminated fiberglass liner, disconnected boots, or flex duct that’s collapsed in the attic. The camera doesn’t lie, and the footage goes to you. We also measure static pressure before and after to quantify the improvement.

Trusted Brands We Service in Hurst
Our crews carry Rotobrush, Nikro, and Abatement Technologies equipment on every Hurst job, and we stock Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Guardsman filtration products for homeowners who want to maintain cleaner air between service visits. If your system needs a media filter upgrade or a UV-light installation after the cleaning, we can source and install it without a second trip. For Hurst’s aging housing stock, the right filtration matters: during the December-February Ashe juniper surge, a properly sealed duct system with a pleated media filter cuts pollen infiltration significantly compared to the standard fiberglass throwaway that most original systems were designed around.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Hurst Homes
- Delaminated fiberglass duct board liner. The interior surface of original duct board breaks down after decades of 140-155°F attic cycling, shedding visible flakes that collect at supply registers. Homeowners often mistake this for ordinary dust, but it’s structural material entering the air stream.
- Crushed or disconnected flex duct runs. Early flex duct in unconditioned Hurst attics loses its vapor-barrier integrity and collapses under repeated heat expansion and contraction. The register still blows air, but it’s a fraction of design CFM, and the back bedrooms never cool properly.
- Return-side leaks pulling attic air. On slab-foundation ranch homes with ductboard trunks, unsealed joints at the air handler plenum draw hot, pollen-laden attic air directly into the system. Cleaning the ducts without sealing these leaks is a temporary fix at best.
- Hidden failures 20 feet from the register. The visible flex at the ceiling boot often looks intact while the real damage, a collapsed liner or rodent breach, sits deep in the attic run. Camera inspection and static-pressure measurement are the only ways to find it.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Hurst, TX
Most complete residential air duct cleanings in Hurst fall between $350 and $650 for a single-system home. That range covers the full supply and return network, access-panel cuts where needed, mechanical agitation with the Rotobrush, negative-air extraction with the Nikro unit, HEPA-contained discharge through Abatement Technologies filtration, video inspection of all accessible runs, and basic sealing of accessible leaks with mastic or foil tape. Two-system homes or properties with extensive hard-pipe ductwork may run higher.
What moves the price: the number of supply and return branches, whether the system uses hard pipe or flex duct (flex takes longer to clean properly), the condition of the duct board liner, and whether we find damage requiring section repair or replacement. We give you one flat price per system, agreed in writing, before any work starts. No per-vent add-ons. No door-step revisions. If camera inspection reveals unexpected damage, we show you the footage and quote the repair separately. You’re free to decline and pay only for the cleaning.
Call (469) 972-3151 for a free estimate. We’ll ask about your home’s age, system type, and any airflow problems you’re seeing, then give you a realistic range before we schedule.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Hurst
Because Hurst’s housing stock was essentially complete by the 1980s, nearly every duct system we open is original fiberglass duct board or early flex duct, a legacy-system condition rare in newer suburbs still adding housing along the SH-183 and SH-121 corridors. That duct board is failing in a specific way: interior liner delamination that homeowners misread as a weak HVAC system rather than a restricted duct interior. A “standard” cleaning that doesn’t include camera inspection and targeted sealing often misses the real problem. Call (469) 972-3151 and we’ll show you exactly what your system looks like inside.
Delaminated duct board shows as gray or brown flakes collecting at supply registers, a musty or fiberglass odor when the system runs, and rooms that never reach set temperature despite the blower running continuously. We confirm it with a video camera inserted through access panels or register boots, and we measure static pressure to quantify airflow restriction. In the 1970s-era tract homes near the SH-183 corridor, our crew pulled a return drop on a slab-foundation ranch and found original fiberglass duct board where the inner liner had fully delaminated, flakes of liner had collected at the boot of a supply register, cutting airflow to the back bedrooms. Camera inspection confirmed the main trunk was still structurally sound, so instead of a full replacement we did source removal with agitation tools under negative pressure and rebuilt the failed liner sections; the homeowner finally got consistent CFM to those rooms for the first time in years.
Yes, January through March is actually one of our busiest periods in Hurst because the DFW Metroplex is one of the most severe cedar fever corridors in the country, with Ashe juniper pollen surging December through February. Cleaning after the peak removes accumulated pollen from the duct interior, and sealing return-side leaks prevents re-infiltration. We recommend pairing winter cleaning with a pleated media filter upgrade for the remainder of the season. Call (469) 972-3151 to book before the spring maintenance rush.
We handle both. Our commercial work in Hurst covers retail spaces, medical offices, and light industrial facilities along Airport Freeway and the SH-183 corridor, with systems ranging from small rooftop units to multi-zone duct networks. Commercial pricing starts around $800 and scales with system size and access complexity. Every commercial job carries the same written price guarantee and 365-Day Done Right Promise as our residential work.
We clean with Rotobrush rotary brush systems for mechanical agitation, Nikro negative-pressure units for debris extraction, and Abatement Technologies HEPA filtration to contain particles during the job. For homeowners who want to maintain results, we install Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Guardsman filtration and indoor-air-quality products. These aren’t consumer-grade tools, they’re professional equipment designed for source removal in residential and light commercial duct systems. Call (469) 972-3151 if you’d like specifics on what we’d use in your home.
