We know Arcadia’s housing stock well. Mid-century ranch homes from the 1950s with original metal ducts behave differently than the 4,000-plus-square-foot custom builds from the 1990s onward. The dust from the San Gabriel Mountains doesn’t care which one you own. We inspect first, price in writing, and clean by the book so you’re not guessing what’s actually moving through your registers.

Why Hollis Air Duct Pasadena Is Arcadia’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company

Arcadia homeowners call us because we write the price down before any equipment comes off the truck. That’s The Garrison Standard, and it applies to every job we run in this city. Background-checked, uniformed technicians arrive inside the quoted window, complete the work, and leave the site clean. No exceptions.

Roy Castellanos leads our Air Duct Cleaning team, and the crews serving Arcadia run professional-grade equipment from Rotobrush, Nikro, and Abatement Technologies. We don’t bring hardware-store gear to a 6,000-square-foot estate. We bring negative-air machines and rotary brush systems built for long runs and multi-zone ductwork. Every job carries our 365-Day Done Right Promise: if it fails within a year, we return at no charge, including a free second visit.

Phones are answered by a live person 24/7. No voicemail loops, no waiting until Monday when Santa Ana winds just drove a fresh layer of dust into your return ducts.

Air Duct Repair in Arcadia

Air Duct Repair in Arcadia usually means one of three things: replacing sagged flex-duct sections in attic runs, sealing leaks at joints with mastic, or patching corroded metal ducts in older ranch homes. Homes near the San Gabriel Mountains accumulate fine dust that wears on duct joints year after year, and the hot attic temperatures common in Arcadia summers accelerate sealant breakdown. A straightforward repair runs $180 – $450. A larger section replacement with access work in a tight attic can run $600 – $900.

We don’t clean a system that’s leaking. It wastes your money and reintroduces dust within weeks. We inspect first, flag what needs repair, and give you the repair price in writing before we touch anything.

Duct Sealing with Mastic

Loose joints and small gaps pull attic air into your system. In Arcadia, that attic air carries fine particulate from the mountains and insulation fibers from older homes. We seal accessible joints with water-based mastic, which flexes with temperature swings and lasts far longer than tape, as part of our Duct Sealing in Arcadia service. Sealing typically runs $250 – $500 depending on accessibility.

Sagging Flex Duct Correction

Large custom estates built since the 1990s often have long flex-duct runs that sag in attic spaces. The sag creates a low spot where dust, pet hair, and construction debris collect. We re-support the duct, restore proper airflow, or replace the section if the inner liner is damaged. Replacement runs $350 – $750 per section on most Arcadia homes.

Ductwork Cleaning in Arcadia

Ductwork Cleaning in Arcadia is not the same job at a 1,400-square-foot ranch off Duarte Road as it is at a two-zone estate north of Foothill Boulevard. Larger systems have longer runs, more bends, and more places for debris to settle. We use source-removal methods: a negative-air machine creates vacuum pressure while rotary brushes and agitation tools dislodge debris from the duct walls. A standard single-system home in Arcadia runs $425 – $780. Two-zone estates with long supply runs typically run $850 – $1,400.

We include the full system: supply ducts, return ducts, the air handler cabinet, the blower motor, and the registers. We do not clean “the first five feet from the vent” and call it done. That practice is common in this trade, and it leaves the bulk of the contamination in place. Our Air Duct Cleaning process addresses the entire run, verified with camera inspection on request.

Full System Cleaning with Video Inspection

After cleaning, we run a small camera through the main supply and return trunks so you can see the result. On one recent Arcadia job, the camera found three sections of flex duct still packed with construction debris from the original 2005 build. Agitation tools dislodged it. Without the camera, that debris would still be there. Video inspection is included on full-system jobs over $700 and available as an add-on on smaller homes.

Construction Debris Extraction

This is specific to Arcadia’s newer estates. Builders seal up walls and attic spaces while drywall dust, sawdust, and scrap materials are still inside the duct runs. We find it on roughly a third of the custom homes we clean in this city. Extraction requires agitation tools and often a longer service window. Expect to add $100 – $250 to a standard cleaning when significant debris is present.

Trusted Brands We Service in Arcadia

We stock and service filters from Aprilaire and Guardsman, and our cleaning equipment includes Rotobrush rotary brush systems and Nikro negative-air machines. Filtration matters in Arcadia. Homes catch dust from the San Gabriel Mountains and pollen from the city’s mature tree canopy, and a quality media filter catches what the ducts don’t. If you have an Aprilaire cabinet or a Guardsman media filter, we can replace the filter during your cleaning and explain what MERV rating makes sense for your home’s dust load.

Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Arcadia Homes

• Original 1950s-60s metal ducts corroding internally. Rust flakes break loose and enter the air stream. Standard cleaning removes the loose debris, but if the corrosion is advanced, the affected section needs replacement, not just cleaning.
• Sagged flex ducts in newer custom estates. Long runs above large attics lose support over time. The low point traps a dense layer of dust that normal airflow never moves. We re-support and clean those sections, or replace them if the liner is compromised.
• Santa Ana wind dust infiltration. Several times a year, dry winds push fine mountain particulate through any gap in the building envelope. If your filtration isn’t up to it, that dust ends up in the return ducts and recirculates for months.
• Construction debris sealed into ductwork from the original build. On Arcadia’s 1990s-and-newer custom homes, we regularly pull drywall chunks, wood scraps, and plastic sheeting from inside supply runs. A camera inspection will find it. A surface cleaning won’t remove it.
