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.

AfterAir Duct Cleaning in Pasadena, TX
HVAC cleaning in Pasadena typically runs $350-$650 for a whole-system service, with most jobs scheduled within 3-5 business days. We’re CleanRun Duct Repair & Cleaning, and our crews work Pasadena homes under conditions you won’t find in neighboring suburbs: refinery-corridor air, decades-old duct board, and humidity that stays above 90% for months. Every job starts with a written price before any panel comes off, and every duct run is photographed before and after. Call (346) 253-1822 for a free estimate.
Why Pasadena Homes Are Different
Pasadena sits directly adjacent to the Houston Ship Channel’s refinery and petrochemical corridor, one of the densest concentrations of industrial facilities in North America. Ducts here accumulate fine hydrocarbon particulates, sulfur compounds, and industrial fallout that simply don’t exist in Pearland or Friendswood, making routine duct cleaning a genuine air-quality necessity rather than a luxury.
The housing stock is dominated by 1950s-1980s slab-on-grade ranch homes built during the petrochemical boom, many still running original fiberglass duct board or early flex duct that has degraded over decades. Post-Hurricane Harvey, a significant share of these homes had ductwork absorb floodwater and are prone to persistent mold contamination if not fully remediated. Technicians working older neighborhoods near Burke Road or Richey Street frequently find duct interiors coated with a greasy, dark particulate film - residue from years of refinery-corridor air - that standard vacuuming alone won’t remove.
Pasadena’s low-lying position near the Ship Channel means humidity regularly exceeds 90% for months, with minimal elevation to shed standing water after Gulf storms. The combination of industrial ambient air and subtropical moisture creates a uniquely aggressive contamination environment inside ductwork.
Our Main Pasadena Services
Most Pasadena homeowners who call us start with one of these three services. Each has its own dedicated Pasadena page with deeper detail on local conditions and pricing.
Air Duct Cleaning in Pasadena
We clean the full duct network - supply and return runs, trunk lines, and plenum - using negative-pressure extraction with Rotobrush and Nikro equipment. In Pasadena, we regularly pull out black, greasy buildup that residents mistake for ordinary dust until they see the photo. Every run is documented before and after. Air Duct Cleaning in Pasadena
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Pasadena
Dryer vents in Pasadena’s older homes often run through slab-on-grade construction with long horizontal spans that trap lint. We clear the full run from appliance to termination, inspect for proper airflow, and document the condition. Blocked vents are a leading cause of house fires in this housing stock.

Duct Repair & Sealing in Pasadena
Original fiberglass duct board and flex duct from the 1960s-1980s is failing across Pasadena. We replace collapsed sections, seal leaks with mastic, and restore system pressure. Post-Harvey flood damage to ductwork is still showing up in homes that were never fully remediated. Duct Repair & Sealing in Pasadena

BeforeAfterHVAC Cleaning in Pasadena
HVAC cleaning in Pasadena addresses a specific problem: industrial particulates and sustained humidity degrade coils, blowers, and air handlers faster here than in inland Houston suburbs. The same greasy film found in ducts coats evaporator coils and blower assemblies, reducing airflow and forcing the system to run longer. We provide HVAC Cleaning as a documented, whole-system service with written pricing and photo records.
Evaporator Coil Cleaning
Signs you need it
Ice buildup on the coil, weak airflow from registers, or the system running continuously without reaching set temperature.
What it costs in Pasadena
Evaporator coil cleaning typically runs $180-$320.
How we do it
We access the coil through the plenum, apply foaming cleaner, rinse with low-pressure water, and photograph the before and after condition.
Blower Cleaning
Signs you need it
Dust puffing from registers at startup, uneven heating or cooling, or a blower motor straining audibly.
What it costs in Pasadena
Blower cleaning and assembly removal typically runs $150-$280.
How we do it
We remove the blower assembly, clean the wheel and housing with compressed air and solvent, balance the assembly, and reinstall with torque verification.
What HVAC Cleaning Costs in Pasadena
| Item | Typical range in Pasadena |
|---|---|
| Evaporator coil cleaning | $180-$320 |
| Blower cleaning | $150-$280 |
| Full HVAC cleaning (coil + blower + air handler) | $350-$650 |
How do I know my HVAC needs cleaning versus just my ducts?
If your ducts are clean but rooms still heat unevenly, or you see ice on the coil, the problem is likely in the HVAC unit itself. We inspect the coil, blower, and air handler during every duct cleaning estimate and will show you what the camera finds. Call (346) 253-1822 for a free inspection.
Can HVAC cleaning fix high humidity in my Pasadena home?
It helps if the coil is dirty or the blower is underperforming, both of which reduce dehumidification capacity. In Pasadena’s climate, we often find coils so coated they can’t properly condense moisture. The photo record will show you exactly what we found.
Air Quality & Sanitizing in Pasadena
Air quality and sanitizing in Pasadena targets a contamination profile you won’t find inland: hydrocarbon particulates bond with moisture to create a nutrient film inside ducts that supports microbial growth beyond ordinary household dust. Post-Harvey flood damage left many homes with persistent mold reservoirs in duct board that standard cleaning won’t reach. We provide Air Quality & Sanitizing with EPA-registered products, applied under labeled protocols, with full documentation.
Mold Treatment
Signs you need it
Musty odor at registers, visible growth on duct board, or respiratory symptoms that worsen when the system runs.
What it costs in Pasadena
Mold treatment for a typical single-system home runs $400-$750.
How we do it
We apply an EPA-registered antimicrobial to all interior duct surfaces, treat the plenum and coil pan, and provide lab-ready documentation of the treatment scope.
UV Light Installation
Signs you need it
Recurring mold after treatment, or a system located in a damp crawlspace or attic with chronic microbial issues.
What it costs in Pasadena
UV-C light installation at the coil typically runs $300-$550.
How we do it
We mount a Honeywell or Aprilaire UV lamp at the coil and plenum, wire to the blower circuit for automatic operation, and verify irradiance with a meter.
What Air Quality & Sanitizing Costs in Pasadena
| Item | Typical range in Pasadena |
|---|---|
| Mold treatment (whole system) | $400-$750 |
| UV light installation | $300-$550 |
| Bacteria sanitizing add-on | $150-$250 |
Is mold in Pasadena ducts different from mold elsewhere?
Often yes. The combination of industrial particulates and high humidity creates a thicker, more adherent biofilm than in drier or less polluted areas. Standard vacuuming won’t remove it; we use mechanical agitation plus antimicrobial treatment. Call (346) 253-1822 to schedule an inspection with photo documentation.
Will UV lights eliminate the refinery odor in my ducts?
UV lights target microbial growth at the coil and plenum, not airborne hydrocarbons entering from outside. For odor reduction, we typically pair UV with activated carbon filtration. We’ll show you what the inspection camera reveals and quote both options in writing.
