Trusted Air Duct Cleaning for Santa Clarita Homeowners
Air duct cleaning in Santa Clarita typically costs between $450 and $950 for a full single-family home, depending on the number of furnaces, vents, and the condition of the ductwork. Most jobs are completed in four to six hours, and you’ll get a written price before any equipment comes off the truck. Hollis Air Duct Santa Clarita has been doing this work since 2004 under the Garrison Standard, which means background-checked technicians, a live person answering the phone at (661) 523-0295, and a 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing on every job.
The Santa Clarita Valley has a specific dust problem. Our dry brush, the Santa Ana winds that kick up the Newhall Pass, and the fine particulate that settles across Valencia, Saugus, and Canyon Country all find their way into return-air plenums and supply branches. What starts as a dusty register in Stevenson Ranch becomes a coating on the blower wheel and evaporator coil. Roy Castellanos and our crews see it daily: systems in Castaic and Tesoro Del Valle that have never been opened since the house was built, moving air through a layer of grit that keeps accumulating. This is not a cosmetic issue. Restricted airflow forces your furnace to run longer cycles, which burns more gas and stresses the motor. The fix starts with a real cleaning done by the book, not a coupon crew running a shop vac for 45 minutes.
Air Duct Cleaning Services
Air Duct Cleaning Services cover the complete airflow path: supply ducts, return ducts, the blower compartment, the evaporator coil, and the registers in every room. Hollis Air Duct Santa Clarita runs a negative-air machine during the entire job so dust stays inside the duct system, not floating through your living room. For a single-system home in Santa Clarita, you can expect to pay $450 to $750. Homes with two systems, which are common in the larger floor plans of Valencia and Bridgeport, typically run $650 to $950.
Negative-Air System Setup
We connect a HEPA-filtered negative-air machine to the main trunk line. This puts the entire duct system under negative pressure, so every particle dislodged during cleaning is pulled toward the machine instead of escaping into your home.
Rotobrush Rotary Brush Cleaning
A Rotobrush rotary brush system runs through each branch line and trunk, scrubbing dust and debris off the duct walls. The brush is sized to the duct diameter and driven by a flexible shaft that reaches the full length of each run.

Styles & brands we work with
HVAC Duct Cleaning
HVAC Duct Cleaning addresses the entire heating and cooling system, not just the ductwork. That includes the blower motor assembly, the evaporator coil, the drain pan, and the plenum boxes on both the supply and return side. For a standard single-system home in Santa Clarita, plan on $500 to $800. Larger homes with two systems or homes that have never had the coil cleaned typically fall between $700 and $1,100 because the coil work alone adds time.
Coil and Blower Service
A dirty evaporator coil can reduce airflow by 30 percent or more. We remove the coil access panel, clean the fins with professional coil cleaner, and make sure condensate is draining properly before we put it back together.
Full System Balance
After cleaning, we check static pressure across the system and compare it to the manufacturer’s specifications. If the numbers are off, we know something is still restricting airflow and we address it before packing up.
Vent Cleaning
Vent Cleaning focuses on the visible part of your duct system: the registers, grilles, and boots where air enters each room. In Santa Clarita, these tend to collect a fine beige dust that comes from the surrounding hills and blows through the valley. Register and boot cleaning runs $150 to $300 as part of a Full System Cleaning. If you want just the vents addressed without the full duct service, we can give you a written price for that scope of work on the phone.
Register and Boot Detail
We remove each register, clean it thoroughly, and vacuum out the boot that connects it to the ductwork. This is the area most homeowners see every day, and it’s where dust and pet hair accumulate fastest.
Filter Check and Replacement
While we’re at it, we check the air filter and let you know its condition. A clogged filter is the simplest cause of poor vent airflow, and we’ll tell you honestly if that’s part of what you’re seeing.
Air Duct Repair
Air Duct Repair covers the structural problems that cleaning can’t fix: disconnected joints, crushed flex runs, pinhole leaks, and ductwork that has separated in the attic. In Santa Clarita, the attic heat breaks down duct tape adhesive faster than almost anywhere in the state. Typical repairs run $200 to $600 depending on the length of duct that needs replacement or the number of joints that need resealing. Every repair gets a written price before we touch the system, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise applies to every repair we make.
Leak Sealing with Mastic
We seal duct joints and seams with mastic, not duct tape. Mastic is a thick, brushable sealant that hardens into a permanent flexible seal. Duct tape dries out and peels within a few years, especially in a hot Santa Clarita attic.
Crushed Duct Replacement
When a duct run has been crushed by someone crawling through the attic or by insulation weight, that airflow is gone. We replace the affected section with new flex duct sized to match the existing system and seal both ends properly.
Ductwork Cleaning
Ductwork Cleaning is the foundational work of clearing out everything that has settled in the main trunks and branch lines over years of daily use. In Santa Clarita homes, that means construction debris from the original build, pet hair, and dust that has compacted in the returns. A complete ductwork cleaning for a typical three to four bedroom home ranges from $450 to $850. Two-story homes and homes with long attic runs generally run higher because the reach distances and access points increase.
Trunk Line Restoration
The main trunk line carries the most air and collects the most debris. We spend the most time here, making sure the full length of the trunk is scrubbed and cleared from end to end.
Return Side Correction
Return ducts pull air back to the furnace, and they’re often dirtier than the supply side. We clean the returns completely so your system stops pulling dust across a dirty return and redistributing it through the house.
Air Duct Inspection
Air Duct Inspection is a camera walkthrough of your duct system that shows exactly what’s inside before any cleaning or repair work begins. It’s the only way to know whether you actually need cleaning, where the leaks are, or whether a duct has collapsed somewhere you can’t see. An inspection runs $99 to $199 when booked as a standalone service. When you book a full cleaning, the inspection is included at no additional charge because we need it to price the work accurately.
Camera Scope Walkthrough
We run a camera through the main trunk and accessible branch lines before we quote the work. You see the images yourself, so you’re not taking our word for it. You’ll know exactly what’s inside your ducts.
Condition Report
After the scope, you get a plain-English summary of what we found: what needs cleaning, what needs sealing, and what can wait. The price is written down based on what the camera showed, and it does not move at the door.
Residential Air Duct Cleaning
Residential Air Duct Cleaning is sized for the single-family homes, townhomes, and condos that make up most of Santa Clarita’s housing stock. The job runs $450 to $850 for a standard single-system home and $650 to $1,100 for larger two-system homes. We work in Valencia, Saugus, Canyon Country, Newhall, Stevenson Ranch, and everywhere else in the Santa Clarita Valley, always with a written price before work begins.
Single-System Homes
Smaller homes with one furnace and a straightforward duct layout are the most common residential job we run. These are typically done in a half day, including the inspection, cleaning, and a final walkthrough of the system.
Two-System and Multi-Story Homes
Two systems mean two coils, two blowers, and two complete duct networks. These jobs take more time and cost more, but they’re also the homes where a proper cleaning makes the biggest difference in comfort and efficiency.
Commercial Air Duct Cleaning
Commercial Air Duct Cleaning handles offices, medical suites, retail spaces, restaurants, and light industrial buildings in and around Santa Clarita. Commercial pricing is quoted per building after a site walk because duct configurations and access vary too much for flat rates. The Garrison Standard applies to every commercial job: written price, scheduled window, clean site, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise on all work.
Offices and Retail
We schedule commercial work around your hours so your office or store isn’t disrupted during business. The crew arrives in uniform, checks in with whoever is on site, and leaves the space clean when the job is done.
Medical and Food Service
These spaces have stricter air quality requirements, and we use the same negative-air equipment and HEPA filtration that hospitals and commercial kitchens specify. Our equipment roster includes Abatement Technologies and Nikro units that meet commercial filtration standards.

AfterBrands We Service
We work on every brand of duct system and furnace, and we stock or source the right components for the common ones. Rotobrush equipment is what we run for the rotary brush work, because it’s the same tool commercial duct cleaning companies use, and it does a deeper job than a hardware-store brush will ever do. When it comes to filtration, we install and service Aprilaire and Honeywell products on a regular basis, and we use Abatement Technologies negative-air machines for our containment during every job. Guardsman is another filtration brand we trust and install in homes that need stronger filtration than the standard one-inch filter can provide.
Whether you have a Carrier, a Trane, a Lennox, a Rheem, or any other furnace brand, the cleaning and repair process is the same. The ductwork is the ductwork. What changes is the coil access, the blower housing design, and the filter setup. We see enough of each brand around Santa Clarita to know the common failure points, and our techs know how to get each system open and back together correctly.
Signs You Need a Pro Right Now
- Dust returns within a day or two of cleaning. If you wipe down a surface and it’s coated again in 48 hours, your duct system is likely blowing accumulated dust back into the living space. The source is usually in the returns or the blower compartment, not on your furniture.
- Some rooms are noticeably warmer or cooler than others. Uneven temperatures often mean a branch line is disconnected or crushed somewhere in the attic. That air you paid to condition is leaking into the insulation instead of reaching the room.
- You hear a rattle or thump when the blower runs. This can be a loose duct joint, a blower wheel that’s out of balance from caked-on debris, or a duct pan that has come unhung. Each one is a repair that gets worse and more expensive the longer it runs.
- Your energy bill is climbing and the thermostat setting hasn’t changed. A dirty coil and restricted airflow force the system to run longer cycles to hit the same temperature. The furnace isn’t working harder because it’s old; it’s working harder because it can’t breathe.
- You can see dust or debris around the supply registers. Dark streaks or visible crumbs at the register are the system exhaling what has accumulated in the ducts. By the time you can see it at the register, there’s a lot more upstream.
Our Process, Step by Step
Here’s what happens when you call Hollis Air Duct Santa Clarita for air duct cleaning. The process is the same every time, and the price doesn’t change after we start.
- 1
You call and talk to a live person. When you call (661) 523-0295, whoever answers is a real human being, not a voicemail tree. You tell us about your home and what you’re seeing, and we schedule a window that works for you. You’ll know the name of the technician before they arrive.
- 2
We arrive on time and walk the system. The tech shows up in uniform, introduces himself, and takes a look at your furnace, filter, registers, and accessible duct runs. This walk takes about 20 minutes and tells us exactly what we’re working with before any work starts.
- 3
We put the price in writing. After the walk, you get a written price for the full job. Every line item is spelled out, and that price does not move. No surprises, no add-ons, no “well, since we’re in here” upsells.
- 4
We clean the system with negative-air containment. The negative-air machine goes on the main trunk, and every branch line gets scrubbed with the rotary brush. The coil and blower get cleaned, the registers get detailed, and the system gets inspected again before we close it up.
- 5
We walk you through the work and leave the site clean. You see what the camera saw before and after. The work is guaranteed in writing under the 365-Day Done Right Promise. If anything fails within a year, we come back and make it right at no charge. That’s the Garrison Standard, and it’s the only way we work.
How Much Does Air Duct Cleaning Cost in Santa Clarita?
A typical single-system air duct cleaning in Santa Clarita runs $450 to $850. Homes with two systems run $650 to $1,100. Condos and smaller townhomes with shorter duct runs generally land on the lower end, around $400 to $600. The main factors that move the price are the number of furnaces, the total linear feet of ductwork, whether the coil and blower need cleaning, and whether any repairs like leak sealing or crushed-duct replacement are required. Repairs are priced separately and always on paper before we begin. An inspection-only visit runs $99 to $199, and the inspection fee is waived when you proceed with a full cleaning.
What causes one quote to be much lower than another is usually scope. A $99 whole-house special is not cleaning your coil, is not running a negative-air machine, and is probably not touching the branch lines. We don’t play that game. Our price is for the complete system, and it’s written down before any work starts. The free estimate includes the inspection, the written quote, and the answer to any question you have about the condition of your ductwork. Call (661) 523-0295 and get a real number from a real person, not a teaser price that doubles when the van pulls up outside.

Frequently Asked Questions About Air Duct Cleaning in Santa Clarita
Air duct cleaning is the process of removing accumulated dust, debris, pet dander, and contaminant buildup from the interior surfaces of your home’s supply and return ductwork. A proper cleaning includes the branch lines, main trunks, registers, blower compartment, and evaporator coil. At Hollis Air Duct Santa Clarita, we do this with a negative-air machine and rotary brush equipment to capture and remove debris, not spread it around. It’s a whole-system service that restores proper airflow and removes the source of the dust you see settling around your home.
A standard single-system home in Santa Clarita takes four to six hours from start to finish. That includes the camera inspection, the trunk and branch line cleaning, the coil and blower service, and the final walkthrough. Two-system homes and homes with long attic runs take longer, typically a full day. We give you a realistic time estimate when we schedule the job, and we work until the system is clean, not until the clock runs out.
Most homes in Santa Clarita fall between $450 and $950 for a complete air duct cleaning. The exact number depends on the number of systems, the length of the duct runs, and whether the coil and blower need service. We give you a written price after a camera inspection, and that price does not change. For an exact quote on your home, call (661) 523-0295 and we’ll walk you through it.
Yes. We clean and repair duct systems attached to every furnace brand installed in Santa Clarita homes, including Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Rheem, Goodman, and Bryant. The ductwork itself is brand-independent, and our techs know how to access every common blower housing and coil configuration. We also install filtration from Aprilaire, Honeywell, and Guardsman, so we can upgrade your filtration while we’re in your system if you want it.
If a duct has disconnected and a room is suddenly getting no airflow at all, that’s a priority for us. Calls to (661) 523-0295 are answered by a live person around the clock, and we’ll get someone out to assess the problem and give you a written repair price. The repair is covered by the 365-Day Done Right Promise, so if the same joint fails within a year, we come back and fix it at no charge.
Every job we do is covered by the 365-Day Done Right Promise. It’s a written guarantee: if the work fails within a year, we return and make it right at no charge, including a free second visit. That applies to cleaning, sealing, and repairs. We put it in writing on every job because that’s the Garrison Standard, and it’s the reason our customers know exactly what they’re getting before we start.
You don’t need to do much. Clear a small working area around the furnace and make sure the technician can access the attic hatch or crawlspace entry if your ductwork runs through those areas. We bring our own drop cloths and clean up completely before we leave. If you have pets, keep them in a closed room during the visit so they don’t get in the way of the equipment.
