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.

Air duct cleaning in Arlington typically costs $350-$650 for a full residential system and $800-$2,400 for commercial buildings, with most homes completed in a single visit.

Call (323) 918-4345 for a written estimate before any work starts.
We’ve been in Arlington homes since 2005, and we know the difference between a 1973 split-level off Matlock Road and a newer build near Viridian. The ductwork tells the story before we open a single register. Our technicians arrive in uniform with shoe covers and drop cloths already in hand, and we schedule around nap times when you let us know there’s a little one down the hall.
Why Morton’s Air Duct Cleaning Is Arlington’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
Arlington families call us back because we treat the house like it’s our own. The Cedarwell Care Promise means shoe covers go on before the front door closes, drop cloths protect your floors from the first minute, and a photo of the clean-up lands on your phone before the crew pulls out of the driveway. Every job carries the 365-Day Done Right Promise, stamped on the invoice, not offered only when you ask.
Paul Adeyemi built Morton’s on the idea that a homeowner should know the full price before anyone touches a tool. That hasn’t changed. Our Arlington customers mention the quiet equipment in reviews, the way our techs worked around a sleeping toddler, the fact that the dog didn’t bolt when we came through the door. Background-checked, uniformed technicians. Live person on the phone 24/7. Written price upfront, every single time.
We understand Arlington’s housing stock in a way out-of-town franchises don’t. The clay soil, the attic duct runs, the pollen load that hits different here than in Dallas proper. That local knowledge changes how we approach the job, what we inspect first, and what we warn you about before it becomes an expensive repair.
Residential Air Duct Cleaning in Arlington
Residential Air Duct Cleaning in Arlington means source removal from supply ducts, return ducts, and the main trunk lines that run through your attic, followed by a video inspection so you see what we see. Most Arlington homes need this every 3-4 years because the city’s dominant 1960s-1980s slab ranches run flex duct through attics that exceed 140°F in summer, accelerating contamination and seal degradation. A typical full residential cleaning runs $350-$650 depending on system size and accessibility.
Supply and Return Duct Cleaning
We clean both sides of the loop, not just the easy registers. Supply ducts push conditioned air into your rooms; return ducts pull it back, and that’s where Arlington’s cedar pollen and Bermuda grass dust collect thickest. Our Rotobrush agitation tools break it loose while Nikro negative-air machines capture it under HEPA filtration, so nothing resetstles in your living space.
Full System Cleaning with Video Inspection
After the mechanical cleaning, we run a camera through the trunk lines and major branches. In Arlington’s older neighborhoods east of Collins Street, we’re often showing homeowners compressed flex duct at the bends or detached plenum connections that have been starving their system for years. The video becomes part of your record, and any repair recommendation comes with a second written price, not a surprise on the final bill.
Commercial Air Duct Cleaning in Arlington
Commercial Air Duct Cleaning in Arlington covers office buildings, retail spaces, medical clinics, and multi-tenant properties where code compliance and indoor air quality affect both occupancy and liability. These systems run larger trunk lines, more complex zoning, and often operate 12-16 hours daily, so contamination builds faster than in residential settings. Typical commercial projects range from $800 for a small retail suite to $2,400 for larger multi-zone systems, always quoted flat before work begins.
After-Hours and Low-Disruption Scheduling
We clean Arlington commercial spaces during off-hours so your business doesn’t lose productive time. Our crews coordinate with property managers near the Entertainment District and along I-20 to arrive when tenants have gone home, finish before the morning shift, and leave floors protected and photo-documented.
Code-Aware Cleaning for Multi-Tenant Buildings
Arlington’s commercial stock includes significant 1980s-era construction with original duct systems now past their designed service life. We inspect fire dampers, note access panel compliance, and flag any conditions that could affect your TDLR or local fire marshal inspection, always with documentation you can file.
Trusted Brands We Service in Arlington
We clean systems that use Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Abatement Technologies components, and we stock common Arlington replacement parts so a cleaning visit doesn’t turn into a two-week wait for a specialty order. The Nikro and Rotobrush equipment in our vans is professional-grade, not rental-store level, and our technicians train on it continuously. That matters when we’re working in a 150°F Arlington attic and need the machine to perform without a second trip.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Arlington Homes
- Cracked flex-duct insulation from extreme attic heat cycling. Arlington’s attics routinely hit 140-150°F in July and August, and decades of that cycling hardens the fiberglass jacket on original 1970s flex duct. Once it cracks, attic air laden with insulation particles and rodent debris pulls straight into your bedrooms every time the blower cycles.
- Detached plenum connections from clay-soil slab movement. The expansive clay under Arlington’s 1960s-1980s slab ranches shifts seasonally, tilting air handler platforms and pulling duct connections loose. We find this constantly in older neighborhoods east of Collins Street and around Pantego, where the return side has been leaking into the attic for years.
- Severe pollen loading on the rural edges near Kennedale and Mansfield. Homes on the open-land perimeter pick up unpaved-road dust and spring cedar pollen that overwhelms standard MERV filters. The return ductwork cakes up faster than interior Arlington homes, and the blower motor works harder against the restriction.
- Outbuilding duct runs neglected for a decade or more. Detached shops, pool houses, and guest quarters off the main house often share the primary system but sit on longer service drives that make them easy to forget. We include these in our full-system scope when you mention them, because contaminated satellite ducts recirculate into the main house every time the zone damper opens.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Arlington, TX
Most Arlington homeowners pay between $350 and $650 for a complete residential cleaning, with commercial systems starting at $800 and ranging to $2,400 for larger multi-zone properties. What moves you within that range: the number of supply and return registers, whether your attic ductwork requires additional access cuts, and whether we find detached connections that need resealing before the cleaning can be effective.
We don’t quote per-vent. We quote one flat price per system, agreed in writing before any tool comes off the van. No teaser coupon that doubles once we’re inside. No surprise add-ons for “extra contamination.” The price we write is the price you pay, and estimates are always free. Call (323) 918-4345 to schedule yours.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Arlington
Every 3-4 years for most Arlington homes with 1960s-1980s slab construction and attic flex duct, compared to 5-7 years for newer post-tension slab homes with updated duct systems. The extreme attic heat cycling here degrades seals and loads contamination faster than nearly anywhere in the country. Call (323) 918-4345 and we’ll inspect your specific system to confirm the right interval for your house.
Yes, the expansive clay shifts seasonally and tilts air handler platforms, which pulls plenum connections loose and compresses flex duct at bends. We see this most in original 1970s ranches east of Collins Street and around Pantego, where decades of movement have detached returns that homeowners never knew were leaking. Our camera inspection finds it before it becomes a major repair.
It changes how fast the return side loads up. Unpaved road dust, agricultural particulate, and heavier cedar and Bermuda grass pollen all increase the debris volume in your ducts. Rural-edge Arlington homes often need more frequent filter changes and can benefit from a 3-year cleaning cycle rather than stretching to 4. We adjust our agitation time and HEPA filtration accordingly on these jobs.
Arlington’s 1960s-1980s building boom produced a dense inventory of slab ranches with attic ductwork now 40-60 years old, most on original or first-replacement flex duct that has become brittle and compressed. The same house in Southlake or west Arlington near Viridian, built on a post-tension slab with newer duct systems, simply doesn’t face the same heat degradation and seal failure rate. That’s a structural reality of local housing stock, not a sales pitch.
Yes, we work to NADCA source-removal standards, and it matters specifically for Arlington because NADCA’s negative-pressure containment protocol protects your living space when we’re agitating decades of accumulated debris in 140°F+ attic conditions. The standard requires HEPA filtration on the collection side, which prevents the very contamination you’re paying us to remove from resettingtling in your hallway. We document our process on every job.
