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.

AfterCarrier Air Duct Cleaning in Houston, CA | Morton’s Air Duct Cleaning
Air Duct Cleaning in Houston for Carrier systems typically runs between $450 and $850 for a full system, depending on home size and the condition of your flex duct. We’re an independent Carrier service provider, not a factory-authorized dealer, and we’ve been opening Carrier air handlers in Houston attics long enough to know exactly what this climate does to a duct system. Paul Adeyemi, our owner, put it plainly: Houston’s humidity means a Carrier duct clean here is never just a vacuum job. Call (323) 918-4345 for a written estimate before any work starts.
Why Houston Residents Choose Us for Carrier Service
We’ve spent years inside Houston attics where Carrier air handlers sit in 150°F heat, and that experience shapes how we clean. Paul Adeyemi grew up in Inglewood and trained at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College, where the hands-on coursework in ventilation mechanics gave him a foundation he still relies on when diagnosing a Carrier blower or a sagging flex-duct run. He’s the technician Houston families call when they want someone who lays down drop cloths without being asked and explains every step before touching anything.
We know Carrier’s Infinity, Performance, and Comfort series from the inside out. We know which evaporator coils condense at the plenum, which blower speeds leave moisture sitting in flex duct, and which joints separate first. We use OEM-compatible Carrier parts for blower motors, coils, and control boards when they’re available. For Carrier sales & service done with Houston’s crawlspace and attic reality in mind, we’re the crew that treats your home like our own. Shoe covers on, drop cloths down, quiet tools when the baby’s napping.
Common Carrier Air Duct Cleaning Problems We Solve in Houston
- Variable-speed blowers leaving moisture in flex duct. Carrier Infinity systems run at low airflow for hours during Houston’s 10-month cooling season. That low, slow air lets condensation linger in flex-duct runs, and before long you have mold on the interior liner. We clean the runs and then seal the joints so the cycle doesn’t repeat.
- Evaporator coil condensation dripping into flex-duct connections. Attic-mounted Carrier air handlers produce a steady condensation drip in Houston’s humidity. That water finds its way into nearby flex duct, causing joint separation and organic growth at the plenum. We address the coil, the drain pan, and the duct connection as one system.
- Flex duct sagging under attic heat. Houston attics regularly reach 140-160°F in summer. That heat softens flex duct supports, creating low spots where condensation pools and liner tears accelerate. We re-support and replace sagged runs during a full system clean.
- Condenser coils clogged with Houston pollen and mold spores. Carrier condenser coils pull in a constant stream of humid air loaded with pollen, mold spores, and fine particulate. Clogged fins raise head pressure and cause the system to cycle off before ducts dry out. We clean the condenser as part of the full system service so the whole Carrier setup works together.
- Flood-damaged duct runs hiding silt and mold. In repeatedly flooded Houston neighborhoods, we routinely find flex duct liner still holding organic silt and mold from Harvey or later floods. Homeowners who remediated walls often have no idea their ducts are the remaining active source. That’s full replacement work, not routine cleaning.
Carrier Service in Houston: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
There’s a reason we talk about mold and silt more than most duct companies do. Houston’s subtropical humidity sits above 75% relative humidity most of the year, and nearly all residential ductwork here lives in unconditioned attics that reach 140-160°F in summer. That combination creates a perpetual condensation-and-mold cycle inside flex duct that you simply don’t see in drier Sun Belt cities like Dallas or Phoenix. Carrier systems here rarely get a dry-out period. When the system cycles off during high-humidity nights, warm attic air infiltrates leaky flex-duct connections and condenses on the cooled interior liner, feeding mold growth between service visits. Add in Hurricane Harvey’s 2017 flooding, which inundated over 100,000 Harris County structures, and you have tens of thousands of Carrier-equipped homes where duct runs may still be carrying organic silt and embedded mold colonies. That’s why Morton’s treats Carrier duct cleaning in Houston as a remediation-level job, not a vacuum pass.
Let me show you exactly what we found and exactly what it will cost to fix it. Before we start, that’s the standard. We open the duct, run a camera, and show you the liner before anyone touches it.
Carrier Models & Products We Service in Houston
We service the full Carrier residential lineup, including Infinity, Performance, and Comfort series air handlers, plus the 24ANB7 and 24ACC6 air conditioners and their matching evaporator coils and blowers. For duct repairs, we use OEM Carrier-compatible components when they’re available, and we’re honest when they’re not. High-quality aftermarket flex duct, mastic, and insulation are perfectly fine for most duct repairs, and we’ll tell you if a Carrier-specific part is worth the extra cost or if a proven aftermarket equivalent is just as good. If your Carrier air handler or coil is over 12-15 years old and showing rust or refrigerant leaks, we’ll tell you straight whether cleaning and sealing will help or if replacement makes more sense. Our Houston service includes Full System Cleaning, Flex Duct Repair, and Evaporator Coil Cleaning on every Carrier job we quote, plus our Dryer Vent Cleaning in Houston if needed.
Carrier Service Pricing in Houston
For a typical Houston home, a full Carrier system air duct clean runs $450 to $850. What drives the cost: the number of supply and return runs, whether flex duct needs repair or replacement, whether the evaporator coil needs deep cleaning, and the age and condition of your system. Homes in neighborhoods like the Heights or Meyerland with older sheet-metal ductwork from the 1950s and 60s can run higher if we’re dealing with degraded duct wrap or asbestos-containing insulation jackets requiring special handling. Our written estimate is free and it’s a flat price per system, agreed before any work starts. No per-vent games. No surprise line items. Call (323) 918-4345 for an exact quote.

FAQs - Carrier Air Duct Cleaning in Houston
Yes, we work on Carrier Infinity systems regularly. The variable-speed blowers in Infinity systems run at low airflow for long stretches during Houston’s cooling season, which allows moisture to linger in flex duct runs. Our cleaning process accounts for that, and we always inspect and seal duct joints as part of the Infinity service. Call (323) 918-4345 for a written quote.
It absolutely can. Houston’s attic heat cycling, combined with year-round humidity above 75%, creates condensation inside flex duct liner that never fully dries. The liner tears from heat cycling, and mold takes hold. We tell you the truth about what we find, and we show you the video before we recommend replacement or repair.
In many cases, yes. We open Carrier duct runs in flood-prone Houston neighborhoods like Meyerland and find flex duct liner still coated with organic silt and active mold from Harvey floodwater. When floodwater saturated the liner, cleaning won’t restore it. We’ll show you the inspection footage and recommend replacement only where it’s actually needed. Call (323) 918-4345 and we’ll schedule an inspection.
Houston homes need duct cleaning more frequently than Dallas homes because of the persistent humidity and the nearly continuous cooling season. In Dallas, duct systems get a break during drier months. In Houston, the system runs 10 to 11 months a year, accumulating mold spores, pollen, and particulate faster. Most Houston Carrier owners do well with a full system clean every 3 to 5 years, more often if you have pets or flood exposure. For a specific recommendation, call (323) 918-4345.
Often, yes. We use professional-grade equipment from Rotobrush and Nikro, and in many cases we can access and clean the evaporator coil through the existing plenum opening without disassembling the entire duct run. There are situations where the coil is so fouled or the plenum is so deteriorated that partial disassembly is required. The estimate covers that, and it’s a written flat price before we start.
