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.

AfterLennox Air Duct Cleaning in Cinco Ranch, TX | CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Katy
We provide independent Lennox service across Cinco Ranch, not as an authorized dealer, but as a crew that has cleaned, sealed, and repaired Lennox duct systems in this community since 2013. The one thing that makes our work here different is this: we know the exact era of construction, the exact attic conditions, and the exact post-Harvey moisture history that shapes what goes wrong inside these ducts. Call (346) 666-7165 for a written estimate before any work starts.
Why Cinco Ranch Residents Choose Us for Lennox Service
We’ve worked on Lennox equipment in Cinco Ranch service area homes long enough to recognize the patterns. The Merit Series 13ACX units installed in the late-1990s buildouts. The Elite XC21 and XP17 systems that went into the 2003-2005 phase near Grand Lakes. The Dave Lennox Signature Collection SL25XPV units that owners in newer sections added as upgrades. We know how these systems behave when they’re pulling air through 30-year-old flex duct in a 140°F attic.
Tomas Reyes, our owner, spent years running jobs across the Houston metro after picking up his HVAC fundamentals at Bronx Community College. He’s cleaned ducts in the ranch-style homes near LaCenterra at Cinco Ranch where the original flex-duct runs tell you more about the house than the seller’s disclosure ever will. That history matters because Cinco Ranch isn’t a generic suburb. It’s a master-planned community built almost entirely between the mid-1990s and mid-2000s, which means the majority of its Lennox systems are paired with flex duct that is now at or past typical service life.
We are not affiliated with Lennox. We are an independent team that uses Lennox sales & service knowledge built from hands-on work, not from a dealer manual. When we need OEM parts, we source them. When aftermarket equivalents meet or exceed the spec, we use those and tell you why. The before photo does the talking. Everything after that is just paperwork.
Common Lennox Air Duct Cleaning Problems We Solve in Cinco Ranch
- Collapsed flex duct insulation. Lennox systems in Cinco Ranch attics face unconditioned temperatures that regularly exceed 130°F. That heat degrades the fiberglass insulation surrounding flex duct runs until it separates from the inner liner or turns to powder. We’ve found collapsed insulation in homes off Cinco Ranch Boulevard where the duct was delivering cooled air into the attic instead of the bedroom.
- Evaporator coil microbial loading. Lennox air handlers in this market run 9-10 months annually. The coil stays wet for months at a stretch, and that moisture migrates into supply boots and return plenums. In Cinco Ranch’s 85-90% summer humidity, mold colonization progresses faster than it would in Dallas or El Paso. We clean coils with foaming agents and photograph the results.
- High static pressure from oversized air handlers. Large-footprint tract homes here, commonly 2,500-4,500 sq ft, often have Lennox air handlers rated higher than the duct system can support. That pressure accelerates leakage at mastic joints and boot connections. We measure static pressure before recommending sealing or duct modification.
- Zoning damper and bypass duct leakage. Multi-zone Lennox systems in Cinco Ranch homes frequently leak conditioned air into unconditioned attics through failed dampers or poorly sealed bypass ducts. That leakage pulls humid outside air back into the return side, feeding mold growth inside the ductwork.
- Post-Harvey moisture intrusion. Hurricane Harvey in August 2017 stressed thousands of homes in the Katy/Cinco Ranch corridor. Many properties that didn’t visibly flood still experienced attic moisture intrusion that condensed inside ductwork and went undetected for years. We screen for this history before every job.
BeforeAfterLennox Service in Cinco Ranch: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
The vast majority of Cinco Ranch homes were built between the mid-1990s and mid-2000s, so their original Lennox flex-duct systems are now 15-30 years old and often past service life, especially after the attic moisture intrusion many homes experienced during Hurricane Harvey in 2017. This isn’t a theoretical concern. In the Grand Lakes subdivision, we inspected a 2003 home with a Lennox Elite XC21 system and found the original flex duct in the attic had collapsed insulation and visible mold growth near every supply boot. Our crew removed and replaced the damaged flex runs, cleaned the evaporator coil, and sealed leaky mastic joints at the plenum, restoring proper airflow and eliminating the musty odor the homeowners had noticed for years.
That pattern repeats across Cinco Ranch in ways it doesn’t in newer communities with PVC duct or older neighborhoods with galvanized steel. The combination of extended cooling runtimes, extreme attic heat, and the specific post-2017 moisture history creates a concentrated market for duct cleaning paired with flex-duct remediation and our Dryer Vent Cleaning in Cinco Ranch. We price by the scope of what we find, not by the square footage on your listing.
Lennox Models & Products We Service in Cinco Ranch
We regularly service Lennox Merit Series equipment including the 13ACX, ML14XC1, and 14HPX models common in the earliest Cinco Ranch buildouts.

For newer installations and upgrades, we work on Dave Lennox Signature Collection systems including the XC25, XP25, and SL25XPV, plus Complete Comfort series air handlers in the CBA and CBX lines.
We stock common aftermarket flex duct, mastic, and insulation locally for fast turnaround on Cinco Ranch jobs. For OEM-specific components like coil pans, control boards, or proprietary zoning dampers, we source directly and show you the part number and cost before ordering. Haven Standard Clause 1 applies: written price before any work starts, every time.
Lennox Service Pricing in Cinco Ranch

FAQs - Lennox Air Duct Cleaning in Cinco Ranch
Yes, and the difference is measurable. Cinco Ranch’s combination of 15-30-year-old flex duct, unconditioned attics exceeding 130°F, and post-Harvey moisture intrusion creates conditions we don’t see at the same rate in newer Katy subdivisions or older Houston neighborhoods with metal duct. The long cooling season keeps evaporator coils wet for 9-10 months, which feeds microbial growth that migrates into supply boots. If you smell mustiness when your Lennox system cycles on, that’s worth a camera inspection. Call (346) 666-7165 for a free estimate.
The age of your condenser or air handler doesn’t determine duct condition. We’ve found significant debris and mold in 8-year-old Lennox systems because the ductwork installed with them was original to a 2002 home, or because a previous owner’s renovation left construction debris in the returns. The camera shows the truth regardless of the equipment age. We don’t recommend cleaning we can’t justify with documentation.
In most cases, yes. We access the coil through the plenum or a manufacturer-provided access panel, apply foaming cleaner, and extract the residue with a wet/dry vacuum setup. For severely impacted coils or those with corrosion from years of wet operation, we may recommend removal for bench cleaning or replacement. We photograph the coil condition before and after so you can see what was actually done.
Cinco Ranch averages over 50 inches of annual rainfall with summer relative humidity routinely exceeding 85-90%. In Dallas or El Paso, a duct system might dry out seasonally. Here, the moisture load is constant. That means mold colonization in Lennox supply boots and return plenums progresses faster, mastic joints degrade quicker from thermal cycling in humid attics, and flex duct insulation breaks down from the combination of heat and moisture. The climate here demands a more aggressive inspection schedule than drier markets.
Ask for three things: written price before work starts, camera documentation of every duct run before and after, and specific experience with Lennox multi-zone configurations. Many cleaners treat all systems identically. Lennox zoning setups require knowledge of bypass duct routing, damper locations, and static pressure implications. We document all of this in our standard job record. Call (346) 666-7165 and we’ll walk through what your specific system needs.
