HVAC Cleaning - One Flat Price, Before-and-After Photos

Professional HVAC Cleaning for Homeowners Across the United States

A heating and cooling system pulls in the air of your whole house, every day, and a dirty one pushes that dust, pet dander and stale air right back out. At Kestrel Air Duct Cleaning, our HVAC cleaning service covers the full system: the coils, the blower, the ductwork, the vents and the furnace. We give you a written price before we touch a single panel, so there are no surprise fees at the door. Founded in 2004 under the Kingswell Guarantee, we have spent more than two decades helping homeowners get cleaner air and a system that runs the way it was built to. If your energy bills keep climbing, your rooms heat or cool unevenly, or you see dust blowing out of the registers, call (469) 972-3151 and talk to a real person about it.

Most people only think about HVAC cleaning when something goes wrong. A coil freezes over, a musty smell shows up when the heat kicks on, or a technician points at a clogged blower. By then the dirt has been building for years. Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed, and they arrive with professional equipment: rotary brush systems, negative-pressure extraction units and HEPA-filtered vacuums that keep the dust out of your living space. We work under The Kingswell Way, a code of conduct that means we show up in the window we promised, leave your home cleaner than we found it, and put our 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. Whether you need one part of the system cleaned or the whole thing, we explain what we find and what it will cost before any work starts. If you only need ducts handled, see our air duct repair service, and for lint problems in the laundry room, our dryer vent cleaning page has the details.

What Our HVAC Cleaning Service Includes

• Full system inspection. We check the air handler, coils, blower, return and supply runs, and the filter housing so you know where the dirt is actually collecting.
• Coil and blower cleaning. The parts that move and cool the air get cleaned by hand, not just sprayed and left.
• Ductwork and vent cleaning. Supply and return lines are brushed and vacuumed under negative pressure, then registers are cleaned and reset.
• Furnace cleaning. Burners, heat exchanger access points and the blower compartment are cleared of dust and soot.
• Final airflow check. We measure the system again at the end and show you the difference.

AC Coil Cleaning

The coils in your air conditioner are where heat leaves your home, and a layer of dirt on them works like a winter coat. Dust, pollen and grease from the air stick to the fins, the unit has to run longer to reach the same temperature, and your electric bill goes up without any obvious reason. We clean both the indoor and outdoor coils with coil-safe cleaners and low-pressure rinsing so the fins are not bent or crushed. Once the surface is clear, heat moves the way it should, and most customers notice the house cools faster and the compressor cycles less often. We also check the condensate pan and drain line during the visit, because a clogged drain is one of the most common reasons water ends up on a basement floor.

AC Cleaning

A full AC cleaning looks at everything between the thermostat and the vent. We open the air handler, clean the blower wheel, wipe down the cabinet, clear the drain pan, and replace or wash the filter if it is part of the service you chose. Blower wheels are a quiet problem: a thin film of dust on the blades reduces the air they move by a surprising amount, and the motor works harder to make up for it. Cleaning it restores airflow without any parts being swapped. We also look for early signs of trouble such as rust, loose wiring covers and damaged insulation, and we tell you plainly if something needs a separate repair rather than leaving it to surprise you next summer.

Evaporator Coil Cleaning

The evaporator coil sits inside the air handler, in the dark and damp, which is exactly where mold and slime like to grow. Because it is wet every time the system cools, it catches whatever dust gets past the filter and holds it. A dirty evaporator coil can cause weak cooling, ice on the refrigerant line and a sour smell when the AC starts. Our technicians access the coil, protect the surrounding area, and clean it with a foaming coil cleaner that lifts the buildup and flushes it out through the drain line. We do not use harsh acids that can eat into the aluminum fins. After cleaning, we check the temperature drop across the coil so you can see the improvement instead of taking our word for it.

AC Duct Cleaning

Cold air travels through the same ducts that carry warm air in winter, and those runs collect construction dust, pet hair, skin flakes and sometimes much worse. AC duct cleaning means using a rotating brush to loosen what is stuck to the walls of the trunk lines and branches while a negative-pressure vacuum pulls it out of the house into a sealed container. Simply blowing air through the system does not do this, it just moves dust from one room to another. We also check the connections and seams as we go, and if we find leaks that are wasting cooled air, we point them out and can take care of them with our duct sealing service. Clean ducts help the whole system breathe, and rooms at the far end of the house finally get the air they were designed to get.

Furnace Cleaning

A furnace that has not been cleaned in years is working through a blanket of dust. We remove the access panels, vacuum the burner compartment and the blower housing, clean the blower wheel and check the flame sensor and ignitor for buildup. Soot and dust on these parts cause rough starts, short cycling and that burnt-dust smell on the first cold day of the year. Cleaning also gives us a chance to look at the heat exchanger access and the venting for obvious problems. We are not a substitute for a licensed combustion safety test, and we will tell you if anything we see needs a heating specialist. For most homes, a yearly furnace cleaning before the cold months is cheap insurance against a no-heat call in the middle of the night.

AC Vent Cleaning

The vents are the part of the system you can actually see, and they tell the story quickly. Gray fuzz around a register, dust shaking loose when the system starts, or grime on the ceiling near a supply grille all point to buildup further back. We remove each register and return grille, wash it, and clean the boot behind it, which is the short connection between the grille and the duct that most people never see. We then reset everything so the air flows where it should and nothing rattles. If a vent has been damaged, painted shut or installed crooked, we note it and fix what we can on the spot. Clean vents also make the rest of the house look better, because dusty ceilings and walls usually start at the register.

Furnace Duct Cleaning

When a furnace runs, it pushes heated air through the same ductwork all season, and any dust in those lines gets baked and blown into the rooms. Furnace duct cleaning focuses on the supply trunk, the branches and the return plenum, because the return side is where the dirtiest air comes back in. We use rotary brushes and negative-pressure extraction, then check the main joints and take a final airflow reading. If your ducts are badly damaged, crushed or full of moisture, cleaning alone will not solve it, and we say so. In that case our air duct replacement option may be the better choice, and we explain the difference in writing before you decide anything. You approve every step first.

Signs You Need HVAC Cleaning Right Now

• Dust keeps coming back a day after you clean. If surfaces need wiping every other day, the air moving through your home is carrying dust from somewhere inside the system.
• Rooms never reach the same temperature. Uneven heating and cooling often means restricted ducts, a clogged blower or a coil that cannot do its job.
• A musty or burnt smell when the system starts. Mold on a damp coil or dust on a furnace burner both show up as an odor first.
• Your energy bills rise with no change in habits. A system that works harder to move air uses more power to do the same job.
• Allergy or asthma symptoms are worse indoors. Dirty ducts and coils can circulate dust, pollen and dander that a filter alone does not stop.
• It has been more than three years since the last cleaning. Most homes should have the system looked at every few years, sooner with pets, smokers or recent remodeling.

Our HVAC Cleaning Process – Step by Step

1. 1
   Inspection and Baseline: We walk the system, test airflow at several registers and photograph problem spots so we can show you what we found.
2. 2
   Written Price: Before any work, you get a clear written price for exactly what we plan to clean, with nothing hidden in the fine print.
3. 3
   Protection and Containment: We lay down floor covers, set up HEPA filtration and put the system under negative pressure so dust stays out of your rooms.
4. 4
   Cleaning: Coils, blower, ducts, vents and furnace are cleaned in order, from the air handler outward, using rotary brushes and extraction equipment.
5. 5
   Final Verification: We test airflow again, reassemble everything, run the system and walk you through the results before we leave.
