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.

Why Cinco Ranch Residents Choose Us for Carrier Service
Carrier systems dominate the master-planned tracts here - Performance, Infinity, and Comfort Series units are what we find in nearly every attic from Greenway Village to the newer sections south of Cinco Ranch Boulevard. We’ve worked on enough of them to know which coil pans crack, which flex duct diameters were spec’d in the 2003-2007 build wave, and where the return plenums tend to separate in these large-footprint homes.
Our owner, Tomas Reyes, started in this trade after picking up HVAC fundamentals at Bronx Community College and spending years running jobs across the Houston metro. He’s done enough Carrier systems in Cinco Ranch to recognize a Perry Homes duct layout from a Newmark layout before he even climbs into the attic. The habit he built CleanRun around - pulling the camera out first, pricing by scope rather than square footage - is why we don’t recommend services we can’t justify with documentation. “The before photo does the talking. Everything after that is just paperwork.”
We stock OEM-equivalent Carrier-compatible flex duct and mastic on our trucks, so we’re not ordering parts while your system stays open. And we publish our license number on every page, not buried in a footer, because Haven Standard Clause 3 - Verified Crews - means something here.
Carrier sales & service across the Houston metro is our core work, but Cinco Ranch is where we’ve concentrated our Carrier experience.
Common Carrier Air Duct Cleaning Problems We Solve in Cinco Ranch
- Flex duct insulation breakdown. Cinco Ranch attics regularly exceed 130°F, and the outer vapor barrier on Carrier flex duct runs cracks and disintegrates after 15-20 years of exposure. The inner liner then pulls in attic dust and moisture. We replace the damaged runs with OEM-equivalent flex duct and seal all connections with mastic.
- Evaporator coil microbial growth. Carrier coils stay wet for 9-10 months of near-continuous cooling here, and with humidity at 85-90%, mold colonization inside the air handler and supply plenum is common. We perform negative-pressure extraction cleaning on the coil and treat the plenum - with before-and-after photos of every surface.
- Return plenum leakage and contamination. These 2,500-4,500 sq ft homes have multiple return plenums that were often poorly sealed during original construction. Carrier air handlers pull attic dust and insulation particles straight into the distribution system. We seal with mastic and verify with smoke testing.
- Supply boot gaps and debris loading. The sheer number of supply boots in these large floor plans means more failure points. Unsealed boots allow attic air and construction dust to enter; Carrier systems recirculate biological particles through every room. We seal each boot and document the work photographically.
- Post-Harvey moisture intrusion in ductwork. Even homes that didn’t visibly flood in August 2017 experienced attic condensation and mold growth inside ducts. We screen every Carrier job for this history and inspect coils and plenums accordingly - it’s a Cinco Ranch-specific pattern we account for in every scope.
BeforeAfterCarrier Service in Cinco Ranch: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Cinco Ranch is a master-planned community built almost entirely between the mid-1990s and mid-2000s, which means the original flex-duct systems in the majority of homes are now 15-30 years old - right at or past typical service life. Houston’s near-year-round cooling demand keeps Carrier systems running 9-10 months annually, while unconditioned attic temperatures regularly exceeding 130°F accelerate insulation breakdown on flex duct. This combination makes Cinco Ranch a dense, concentrated market for duct cleaning paired with our Dryer Vent Cleaning in Cinco Ranch and flex-duct remediation in a way that newer or older communities simply are not.
Hurricane Harvey in August 2017 inundated or moisture-stressed thousands of homes across the Katy/Cinco Ranch corridor. Many properties that didn’t visibly flood still experienced attic moisture intrusion and condensation-driven mold inside ductwork that went undetected for years. This is a known local pattern that experienced technicians here use as a screening question before every job. For Carrier owners, this matters specifically because the Infinity and Performance Series variable-speed air handlers are designed to manage humidity precisely - but when the ductwork itself is compromised, the system works against itself, running longer and harder while recirculating contaminated air. We account for this in every Cinco Ranch scope, checking coils and plenums for post-Harvey microbial loading that the homeowner may not have connected to their current air quality issues.
Cinco Ranch service area coverage means we know which subdivisions saw the worst moisture intrusion and which builders used the flex duct specifications that fail first.
Carrier Models & Products We Service in Cinco Ranch
We clean and repair ducted Carrier systems across three main product lines found in Cinco Ranch homes:
- Carrier Infinity Series - Variable-speed systems with Greenspeed intelligence, common in larger Perry Homes and Village Builders tracts. We clean coils, plenums, and duct runs; replace compromised flex duct; and seal supply boots to protect the system’s precision humidity control.
- Carrier Performance Series - Two-stage and single-stage systems, frequently paired with extensive flex-duct networks in 3,000+ sq ft homes. We perform full system cleaning and address the insulation breakdown these attic runs develop.
- Carrier Comfort Series - Single-stage units common in the earlier Newmark builds. We clean and seal, with honest assessment of whether duct remediation or equipment replacement is the better investment.
We use OEM-equivalent Carrier-compatible parts for flex duct, mastic, and sealing components. Quality aftermarket parts are used where OEM is not cost-effective. Our trucks carry Rotobrush, Nikro, and Abatement Technologies equipment - brands customers can verify independently.
Carrier Service Pricing in Cinco Ranch
Whole-system air duct cleaning for a Carrier system in a typical Cinco Ranch home runs $380-$650. Flex-duct remediation adds $200-$400 depending on linear feet and attic accessibility. Evaporator coil cleaning is $180-$320 when performed as part of a duct cleaning scope.
What drives cost: total linear feet of ductwork, number of supply boots and return plenums, accessibility of attic runs, and whether post-Harvey moisture intrusion has compromised coils or insulation. Every estimate includes camera inspection of representative runs, a written scope, and a written price before any work begins - Haven Standard Clause 1. No per-vent pricing. No coupon bait.

FAQs - Carrier Air Duct Cleaning in Cinco Ranch
Schedule a camera inspection of your evaporator coil, supply plenum, and representative duct runs - we screen every Cinco Ranch Carrier job for post-Harvey moisture history and inspect accordingly. Mold inside ductwork from 2017 attic condensation is a documented local pattern, even in homes that didn’t flood visibly. If we find colonization, we’ll show you the photo, explain the scope, and give a written price before any remediation begins. Call (346) 666-7165 to book - estimates are free.
Every 3-5 years for standard maintenance, but sooner if you notice musty odors, visible dust at registers, or if your home was built in the 1995-2005 window with original flex duct. The combination of 85-90% summer humidity and 9-10 months of cooling operation accelerates debris loading and microbial growth inside Carrier systems here. Call (346) 666-7165 and we’ll inspect to give you a schedule based on what your specific system shows.
Rooms that won’t hold temperature, increased energy bills, musty smells when the system cycles, or visible deterioration at registers. In Cinco Ranch’s 130°F+ attics, the outer vapor barrier on flex duct runs typically fails after 15-20 years - right where most of this community’s housing stock sits. We photograph every run before recommending replacement. Call (346) 666-7165 for a camera inspection and written scope.
Yes, if the source is duct-borne - pollen, dust mite debris, and mold spores recirculate through compromised Carrier systems. Cleaning removes accumulated debris; sealing supply boots and plenums stops attic contaminants from entering. We document the before-and-after condition photographically so you can verify the change. Call (346) 666-7165 for an estimate - we’ll inspect first and tell you honestly whether duct cleaning is your highest-impact intervention.
We work across all Cinco Ranch subdivisions, from Greenway Village and the older sections near Cinco Ranch Boulevard to the newer builds south toward FM 1093. Our crews know the duct layouts and common failure modes specific to each builder and build phase. Call (346) 666-7165 to schedule - we cover the full community.
