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 Sugar Land, TX
HVAC cleaning in Sugar Land typically runs $380-$680 for a whole-home system, with most jobs scheduled within a week and completed in a single visit. The combination of aging flex ductwork in master-planned communities and nine months of continuous AC operation makes systematic cleaning more urgent here than in newer suburbs. Call (346) 666-7165 for a written estimate before any work begins.
CleanRun crews coordinate dispatch from our Houston office and serve Sugar Land homes with background-checked, uniformed technicians operating under the H.A.V.E.N. Standard. Every job starts with a written price and ends with a Documented Photo Record of every duct run, delivered as part of the standard job record. We’ve held this practice since our first job in 2013.
Why Sugar Land Homes Are Different
Sugar Land’s master-planned communities were built out heavily between the late 1980s and mid-2000s with large two-story homes relying on extensive flex duct runs through unconditioned attic spaces that regularly exceed 140°F in summer. In First Colony, New Territory, and Telfair, those flex duct networks are now 15-30 years old, at or past typical service life.
Fort Bend County’s Beaumont clay soil causes repeated seasonal foundation heave and settlement. In older First Colony and New Territory homes, we regularly find floor-register boot connections and plenum joints pulled apart by foundation movement, allowing unconditioned attic air and blown-in insulation fibers to infiltrate the supply system. Dew points exceed 70°F from April through October, and the AC-on season stretches across roughly nine months. This near-constant flow of moisture-laden air through heat-stressed ductwork creates persistent conditions for microbial growth inside flex duct liners.
Our Main Sugar Land Services
These are the three services Sugar Land homeowners call about most. Each has its own dedicated page with full pricing and local details.
Air Duct Cleaning in Sugar Land
Whole-home negative-pressure extraction for the flex duct networks common in First Colony, New Territory, and Telfair. We photograph every run before and after, and every job carries a written price agreed before work starts. Air Duct Cleaning in Sugar Land covers full system scope, equipment, and what the photo record includes.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Sugar Land
Exhaust duct cleaning from appliance to termination, with airflow testing before and after. Sugar Land’s humidity means lint compaction is often heavier than in drier markets. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Sugar Land details the full process and warning signs specific to local housing stock.
Duct Repair & Sealing in Sugar Land
Repair of separated boots, torn flex, and leaking plenum joints, plus mastic sealing of accessible connections. Foundation movement in older communities makes this especially relevant. Duct Repair & Sealing in Sugar Land explains inspection methods and repair scope.

BeforeAfterHVAC Cleaning in Sugar Land
Sugar Land’s 15-30-year-old flex duct systems and nine-month cooling season mean HVAC components carry heavier debris loads than equipment in milder or newer markets. Evaporator coils in homes near the Brazos River corridor often show accelerated biological growth from sustained high humidity, while blower assemblies in two-zone systems accumulate more particulate due to longer run times. HVAC Cleaning addresses these components systematically.
Evaporator Coil Cleaning
Signs you need it
Ice formation on refrigerant lines, weak airflow from registers, or a musty odor when the AC first cycles on.
What it costs in Sugar Land
Evaporator coil cleaning typically runs $180-$320 depending on accessibility and contamination level.
How we do it
We remove the access panel, apply foaming cleaner formulated for aluminum fins, rinse with low-pressure water, and photograph the coil surface before and after.
Blower Cleaning
Signs you need it
Vibration or noise from the air handler, uneven temperatures between rooms, or dust recirculating immediately after filter replacement.
What it costs in Sugar Land
Blower assembly cleaning typically runs $160-$280 based on motor type and assembly complexity.
How we do it
We remove the blower wheel and housing, clean each blade and the squirrel cage with compressed air and solvent, balance the assembly, and document with before-and-after photos.
What HVAC Cleaning Costs in Sugar Land
| Item | Typical range in Sugar Land |
|---|---|
| Evaporator coil cleaning | $180-$320 |
| Blower assembly cleaning | $160-$280 |
| Full HVAC cleaning (coil + blower + cabinet) | $380-$680 |
How do I know if my HVAC needs cleaning or just my ducts?
If rooms cool unevenly, the AC runs longer than it used to, or you smell must when the compressor kicks on, the coil and blower likely need attention beyond duct cleaning alone. Call (346) 666-7165 and we’ll inspect both and put a written price to each scope.
Can HVAC cleaning improve my electric bill in Sugar Land?
A clean coil and blower restore design airflow, which can reduce run time; in a nine-month cooling season, that adds up. We measure static pressure before and after so you have documented evidence of improvement.
Air Quality & Sanitizing in Sugar Land
Sugar Land’s sustained high humidity and aging flex duct liners create conditions where microbial growth persists even after mechanical cleaning. In homes near the Brazos River corridor or with crawl space moisture intrusion, we find active colonization in ductwork that appeared clean to visual inspection. Air Quality & Sanitizing addresses biological contamination with documented application protocols.
Mold Treatment
Signs you need it
Visible growth on register fins, a persistent earthy odor when the system cycles, or recent water intrusion in the attic or crawl space.
What it costs in Sugar Land
Whole-system mold treatment typically runs $450-$850 depending on contamination extent and duct accessibility.
How we do it
We apply EPA-registered fungistat to all interior duct surfaces using mechanical fogging equipment, with dwell time verified per manufacturer specification, and photograph every treated run.
UV Light Installation
Signs you need it
Repeated mold recurrence after cleaning, family members with allergy symptoms that worsen when home, or a system located in a damp crawl space or attic.
What it costs in Sugar Land
UV-C lamp installation at the coil or supply plenum typically runs $380-$620 including hardware and electrical connection.
How we do it
We mount a UV-C lamp with sight glass at the evaporator coil or supply plenum, wire to the blower circuit for synchronized operation, and verify irradiance with a meter.
What Air Quality & Sanitizing Costs in Sugar Land
| Item | Typical range in Sugar Land |
|---|---|
| Whole-system mold treatment | $450-$850 |
| UV-C lamp installation | $380-$620 |
| Combined mold treatment + UV installation | $720-$1,200 |
Does mold treatment kill everything in the ducts?
EPA-registered fungistats eliminate active mold growth and inhibit recurrence; we treat all accessible interior surfaces and document with photos, but severely deteriorated flex duct may need replacement rather than treatment. Call (346) 666-7165 for inspection and written scope.
How long does UV light take to work?
Surface mold at the coil typically diminishes within 2-4 weeks of continuous operation; we verify lamp output at installation and again at the next maintenance cycle.
