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 Celina
Air duct cleaning in Celina typically runs $450-$850 for a full residential system, and most jobs are scheduled within a week of your call. We’re the Air Duct Cleaning in Celina crew homeowners call when they move into a brand-new build and notice dust reappearing hours after cleaning, or rooms that never seem to cool evenly despite the AC running constantly.
Our dispatch and scheduling are coordinated from our Dallas-Fort Worth office, but our crews serve Celina locally and know the difference between a Mustang Lakes four-bedroom and a Sutton Fields estate. We don’t waste your arrival window driving in from out of area. When we give you a window, we show up in it. That’s The Kingswell Way. Call (469) 972-3151 and you’ll reach a live person, any time of day.
Why Kestrel Air Duct Cleaning Is Celina’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
We’ve built our reputation in Celina by doing what most contractors won’t: putting the price in writing before touching a single vent, then honoring it. Our 365-Day Done Right Promise means if the work falls short, we return and make it right at no charge. No courtesy call needed, no manager approval, no runaround.
Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and trained on Rotobrush rotary brush systems, Nikro negative-pressure units, and Abatement Technologies HEPA filtration. They know Celina’s housing stock, the compressed build timelines at Light Farms and Lilyana, and what construction debris actually looks like inside a new duct boot. Customers in Celina tell us the difference is obvious from the first phone call: a real conversation, a real arrival window, and a real guarantee on paper.
Air Duct Inspection in Celina
Air Duct Inspection in Celina is often the first service we perform for homeowners who suspect their new-build HVAC system isn’t performing as it should. The inspection involves a video camera run through your supply and return ductwork, examination of the air handler cabinet, and documentation of any construction debris, blockage, or contamination we find. For most Celina homes, a full-system inspection runs $150-$250, and we apply that fee toward your cleaning if you proceed with service.
When to Schedule an Inspection
Book an inspection if you’ve noticed dust accumulating faster than expected, rooms that stay warmer than others, or a musty smell when the AC cycles on. In Celina’s new construction, these symptoms usually trace back to drywall compound or insulation fibers left in the ductwork during build, not ordinary household dust.
What the Camera Reveals
Our video inspection shows you exactly what’s inside your ducts: joint-compound powder caked at boot collars, spray-foam debris in return plenums, or flex runs pinched during rough-in. You’ll see it on screen before we quote any cleaning. No guesswork, no surprises.
Residential Air Duct Cleaning in Celina
Residential Air Duct Cleaning in Celina addresses a problem most homeowners don’t expect: brand-new houses with dirty ducts from day one. Our process uses negative-air extraction, brush agitation, and HEPA filtration to remove construction debris and particulates from your entire system, including supply ducts, return ducts, and the air handler cabinet. A typical full-system cleaning in Celina runs $450-$850 depending on system size and contamination level.
The New-Build Difference
Celina’s master-planned communities went up fast. Ductwork sat open through drywall, paint, and flooring, then builders ran the HVAC for months to hit certificate-of-occupancy deadlines. We’re not removing years of settled dust. We’re extracting construction debris that was baked into your system before you ever turned the key.
Our Cleaning Process
We seal each vent, establish negative pressure with our Nikro unit, then run Rotobrush agitation tools through every branch line. Abatement Technologies HEPA filtration captures loosened particles so they don’t re-enter your living space. We finish with a post-cleaning video walkthrough so you see the difference.
Trusted Brands We Service in Celina
We stock Aprilaire media filters and Guardsman register products for Celina homeowners who want to maintain clean air between service visits. Our trucks also carry Abatement Technologies HEPA portable air scrubbers for jobs where construction debris has heavily contaminated the system. If your new build came with a basic fiberglass filter, upgrading to a properly fitted Aprilaire pleated media filter can catch the fine clay dust Celina’s Blackland Prairie pushes into your home during our long cooling season. We size and install them on the spot, no return trip needed.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Celina Homes
- Construction debris masquerading as household dust. Homeowners in Light Farms and Mustang Lakes call us about “dusty houses” six months after move-in. What we’re actually finding is drywall joint-compound powder and spray-foam overspray left from the build, circulating through the system every time the AC cycles on.
- Compressed build timelines trapping contaminants deep in flex runs. Volume builders in Celina’s 2020-2024 boom installed flexible ductwork early, left it exposed through multiple trades, then ran the system for months before occupancy. Simple register vacuuming never reaches the debris packed into boot collars and return plenums.
- Fine clay dust and pollen overwhelming basic filtration. Celina’s open prairie geography means minimal windbreaks and heavy seasonal pollen loads. With cooling season running May through September at 100°F-plus, HVAC systems operate continuously and pull in more particulates than sheltered suburbs to the south.
- Cut-rate “cleaning” that dislodges without extracting. Crews who skip NADCA standards and proper negative-air equipment can stir up construction debris and leave it to resettle in your blower motor and supply ducts, making the problem worse than when they arrived.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Celina, TX
Most full-system residential cleanings in Celina run $450-$850. A basic air duct inspection with video documentation runs $150-$250, applied to your cleaning if you move forward. System size, number of branch lines, and contamination level affect where you land in that range. A 3,500-square-foot home in Sutton Fields with heavy construction debris typically runs higher than a smaller Lilyana townhome with light particulate load.
We give you one flat price per system, agreed in writing, before any work begins. No per-vent pricing. No door-step revisions. No teaser coupon that balloons once the van is in your driveway. You’ll see before-and-after photos of your own ducts, not stock images.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Celina
Your ducts were installed early in construction and left open through drywall, paint, and flooring. Builders then ran your HVAC for months to meet certificate-of-occupancy deadlines, pulling joint-compound powder and spray-foam debris deep into the system. We’ve found blower motors caked with construction fines in Celina homes before the family’s first anniversary. Call (469) 972-3151 for an inspection and we’ll show you exactly what’s in there.
We extract drywall joint-compound powder, spray-foam overspray, insulation fibers, and fine construction dust, not ordinary household dirt. In one Light Farms home last spring, we pulled surprising amounts of debris from boot collars the owners had never touched. The signature contamination of Celina’s 2020-2024 building boom is construction particulate, not accumulated living dust.
Celina’s new homes typically need a first-ever cleaning within the first 12-24 months to address post-construction debris, then every 3-5 years thereafter depending on filtration quality and household factors. Older suburbs with decades of settled accumulation may need more frequent initial attention. Celina’s continuous cooling season and exposed prairie geography also push more outdoor particulates into your system than more sheltered areas.
Yes. Every Celina cleaning follows NADCA assessment, cleaning, and restoration guidelines, including source removal methods, proper negative-air containment, and post-cleaning verification. We don’t stir up debris and hope for the best. We extract it, document it, and show you the results. Call (469) 972-3151 to schedule a NADCA-compliant cleaning.
Yes. Joint-compound powder and spray-foam debris restrict airflow, force your blower motor to work harder, and circulate fine particulates through your living space every time the system runs. We’ve seen reduced cooling efficiency and premature blower strain in Celina homes where construction debris was left unaddressed. A proper cleaning with negative-air extraction and HEPA filtration removes the source and protects your equipment.
