What Air Duct Cleaning in Murphy Actually Involves and Costs
Air duct cleaning in Murphy typically costs $350 – $650 per HVAC system for a thorough source-removal cleaning, and most Murphy homes need both systems done, bringing the whole-home range to roughly $600 – $1,200. We quote one flat price per system before we touch anything, and that number does not move at the door. No per-vent pricing, no add-on surprises. You get before-and-after photos of your own ducts so you can see the work was real.
Murphy’s housing stock is dominated by large two-story brick-and-stone homes built between 1995 and 2020, most of them 2,500 to 4,500 square feet with two or more HVAC systems. That means the honest price for your home depends on how many systems you have and what the camera inspection shows. Before we quote anything, we inspect. Then we write it down. If the upstairs flex ducts are clean and only the lower system needs work, we only quote the lower system. That is not a trick; that is how a disciplined company runs a job.
Key takeaways:
- Whole-home duct cleaning in Murphy runs $600 – $1,200 for most two-system homes.
- We quote one flat price per system after a camera inspection, before any work starts.
- The price is in writing and it stays put. No door-step surprises.
- You get before-and-after photos of your own ducts on every job.

Fast, Reliable Air Duct Cleaning Across Murphy
If you live in Murphy, you already know the schedule: cottonwood pollen in April, clay dust blowing in from Collin County construction, and air conditioning running hard from May through October. That combination forces your HVAC system to pull in and recirculate a lot of fine particulate, and it is the reason so many Murphy homeowners notice dust settling on furniture within days of cleaning.
Our crews serve Murphy directly from the Dallas-Fort Worth metro office, and we know the neighborhoods along Murphy Road, North Murphy Road, and FM 544 by the way the houses are built and the way their ducts behave. We are not a national chain dispatching a random technician. We are Hollis Air Duct Dallas, part of the Garrison Partners family, and we send background-checked, uniformed technicians who arrive inside the quoted window, price the job in writing before starting, and leave the site cleaner than they found it. If you want an honest assessment of your ducts in Murphy, call us at (361) 309-6223.

Why Hollis Air Duct Dallas Is Murphy’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
Murphy homeowners tend to research before they call, and they tend to be wary of bait-and-switch pricing. We know, because we have heard the stories from customers in Maxwell Creek, Rolling Ridge, and Hunters Glen: a “$99 whole-house special” that turned into $900 once the van pulled away. That is not how we operate, and it never has been.
Every Hollis Air Duct Dallas job runs under The Garrison Standard: arrive inside the window, price the work in writing before we start, complete the job by the book, and leave the site clean. If the work fails within a year, our 365-Day Done Right Promise means we come back and make it right at no charge, including a free second visit. That is a written guarantee, not a sales line. Roy Castellanos, who leads our team, insists on it for every job we do in Murphy.
We carry professional-grade equipment from Rotobrush, Nikro, and Honeywell, but the tool that matters most is the camera. Before we quote anything, we inspect your returns and supply runs so we know exactly what we are dealing with. Then we show you what we found. You make the call from what you see, not from a pitch.
Our Air Duct Cleaning team has cleaned enough Murphy systems to know precisely where the buildup hides in these homes, and we will explain it in plain terms before we start.
Commercial Air Duct Cleaning in Murphy
Commercial Air Duct Cleaning in Murphy is a different job than residential work, and it matters more than most business owners realize. Murphy’s commercial buildings, from the retail and medical offices along FM 544 to the churches and schools near Murphy Road, run HVAC systems for 10 to 14 hours a day. That constant runtime pulls in the same clay dust and cottonwood pollen that fills residential returns, but compresses the maintenance cycle because the systems do not get the seasonal break that home systems do.
For commercial properties in Murphy, we typically recommend a camera inspection once a year and source-removal cleaning every 18 to 36 months, depending on occupancy and whether the building runs high-MERV filtration. A full commercial system cleaning in Murphy generally runs $800 – $2,500 depending on tonnage, duct footage, and how many rooftop units are involved. We quote the job after inspection and the price is fixed before we begin.
High-MERV Filtration and Negative-Air Cleaning
Commercial buildings in Murphy that run Honeywell or Aprilaire high-MERV filters still need duct cleaning, because filtration only catches what reaches the filter. The dust sitting in the return plenum and branch ducts keeps recirculating through the blower. We use Nikro negative-air machines and Rotobrush rotary brush systems to source-remove that buildup, and we camera-inspect before and after so the building manager sees the difference in real footage.
Post-Construction and Tenant Turnover Cleaning
Murphy is still growing, and new commercial build-outs leave drywall dust and fine particulate inside brand-new ductwork. If a space is being turned over for a new tenant in the Murphy Marketplace area or along North Murphy Road, cleaning before move-in is the standard we recommend. We will give the property owner a written flat price per system and a written timeline, so there are no surprises on either side.
Air Duct Cleaning Services in Murphy
Air Duct Cleaning Services in Murphy start with a real inspection, not a coupon. We pull the return grille, look inside with a camera, and show you exactly what is in your ducts before we quote a dollar. Then we agree on one flat price per system and do the work with a HEPA-filtered negative-air machine pulling vacuum on the system while the rotary brush agitates the duct walls. That combination is what separates source removal from a glorified vacuum job.
For a typical Murphy home with two systems, a full residential duct cleaning runs $600 – $1,200, and a single-system home runs $350 – $650. We clean both supply and return ducts, including the slab returns that are common east of Murphy Road. After the job, we hand you before-and-after photographs of your own registers, so you can see the metal and flex that was buried under the dust. Pricing is written before we start and it does not change.
Slab Return and Supply Duct Cleaning
Homes east of Murphy Road frequently have return-air ducts routed through the slab or in a floor chase. Those lower returns collect a distinct fine gray silt, a mix of original cotton-field soil and years of wind-blown clay. We clean them with the same source-removal method as the upstairs runs, and we camera-inspect every return before and after so the homeowner sees the buildup was actually removed, not just knocked loose.
Full System Cleaning with Camera Verification
A full system cleaning covers the return ducts, supply ducts, plenums, and the interior of the air handler. We do not skip the supply side the way some crews do, and we do not declare the job done until the after-photos show clean duct surfaces. In Murphy’s larger two-story homes, that often means budgeting for two systems, but we only quote the work the camera shows is needed.

Trusted Brands We Service in Murphy
Most Murphy homes have HVAC equipment and filtration from brands we know well: Honeywell, Aprilaire, Nikro, and Abatement Technologies are all common in this area, both in the equipment itself and in the filtration components we see on regular service calls. That familiarity matters. When we clean a system with an Aprilaire media filter housing, we know how to remove and clean it correctly without damaging the frame. When a home has high-MERV Honeywell filters, we can explain how often they should be changed given Murphy’s clay dust load. We keep common replacement parts and filter options available for our Murphy customers, so a cleaning visit does not turn into a week-long wait for a part. If you need a specific filter or a duct sealing mastic application, we will have what it takes on the truck or we will tell you the honest timeline before we start. Call (361) 309-6223 and we will walk you through what your particular system needs.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Murphy Homes
- Fine gray silt packed into slab returns. East of Murphy Road, many homes have return ducts in the slab or floor chase, and they collect extremely fine gray clay dust from the original Blackland Prairie cotton fields. This silt bypasses standard filters and recirculates every time the AC kicks on.
- Two-story temperature imbalance from dirty upstairs flex. Murphy’s large two-story homes depend on attic flex ductwork that can sag, separate, or fill with dust. When the upstairs feels 8 degrees warmer than downstairs in July, often the issue is not the AC unit, it is restricted airflow through dirty or collapsed flex runs.
- Post-construction dust in newer neighborhoods. Homes built during Murphy’s 2000s to 2010s boom, especially in the Maxwell Creek and Rolling Ridge areas, frequently still carry drywall dust and construction debris inside the ducts from the original build. Builders do not clean ducts before closing, and that dust stays there until someone removes it.
- Cottonwood pollen season overwhelming basic filters. Murphy sits in a region where cottonwood pollen blows for several weeks each spring. Standard one-inch fiberglass filters do almost nothing against it. We regularly see ducts in Murphy with a sticky, gray-green coating on the interior from pollen that got past cheap filters and stuck to the duct walls.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Murphy
Homes east of Murphy Road were built over what used to be Blackland Prairie cotton fields, and many of them have return-air ducts running through the slab or a floor chase. Those lower returns pull in fine gray silt from the soil and years of construction dust, and that silt settles in the low points of the return run. Upstairs supply ducts, which are usually flex in the attic, often stay relatively clean because the heaviest particulate never makes it that far. We see this pattern consistently in Murphy, and it is a big reason we camera-inspect both systems before quoting a price. The lower system usually needs the work, and we will quote only what the camera shows. Call (361) 309-6223 for a free inspection if you suspect your lower returns are packed.
Most Murphy homes built in the 2010s have flexible ductwork in unconditioned attics, and yes, they can absolutely need cleaning. Flex duct develops a static charge that attracts fine dust, and in Murphy’s clay-heavy air that dust accumulates faster than in many DFW suburbs. Sagging flex runs also create low spots where dust settles and restricts airflow. The honest answer we give Murphy homeowners is: inspect first. Some newer systems are clean and only need filter changes. Most systems that have gone 3 to 5 years without cleaning in this climate show real buildup on camera, and we show you the footage before we recommend anything. In some cases, the right next step is Duct Sealing - Murphy homeowners can trust, especially if the inspection reveals leaks rather than heavy debris. You decide from the evidence, not from our pitch.
It means you get one written price for the upstairs system and one written price for the downstairs system, and those numbers are fixed before we start. If the camera inspection shows the upstairs ducts are clean and only the lower system needs source removal, you only pay for the lower system. We do not bundle the two into a package price that hides the fact you did not need both done. For most Murphy two-system homes, a full cleaning of both runs $600 – $1,200. The number depends on what the camera shows, and we write it down before touching a vent. Get the exact price for your home by calling (361) 309-6223.
We clean slab returns through the existing register openings and access points. No floor demolition, no cutting, no construction. We use a HEPA-filtered negative-air machine to create vacuum on the system while a Rotobrush rotary brush agitates the interior of the slab chase. The vacuum pulls the agitated silt and dust out through the same register opening it came in through. In the Murphy homes we have cleaned east of Murphy Road, the lower slab returns are often the dirtiest part of the entire system, and source removal through the existing openings is the standard method. We camera-inspect the return before and after so you watch the silt disappear from your own registers.
Yes, and it is not close. Murphy’s AC systems run hard from May through October, and whatever is sitting in your ducts during that stretch gets recirculated through the entire house for months. The spring cottonwood pollen and the fine clay dust from Collin County construction combine into a heavy load that settles in returns just before the cooling season starts. If you are going to clean your ducts in Murphy, the window from late March through early May is when we see the most benefit. But we will also tell you when cleaning is not necessary. If your system is clean and your filters are doing their job, we will say so. Call (361) 309-6223 and we will inspect honestly before we recommend anything.
What a Murphy Duct Cleaning Looks Like, From Start to Finish
In a neighborhood east of Murphy Road, our crew opened a slab-chase return on a 4,200 square foot two-system home and found the lower return caked with fine gray silt pulled in from years of cotton-field dust. We used a Rotobrush with HEPA-filtered negative pressure to source-remove the buildup, then camera-inspected the supply runs and found the upstairs flex ducts relatively clean. So we only quoted the lower system. One flat price agreed before we started, with before-and-after photos of their actual registers.
That is how a job should run. It starts with the camera, not with a sales pitch. It ends with you looking at clean ductwork in your own home, knowing exactly what you paid for and what you got. That is The Garrison Code in practice: arrive inside the window, price it in writing, do the job by the book, and leave the site clean. Roy Castellanos and the whole Hollis team hold ourselves to that standard on every single job we run in Murphy.
