AfterHow Much Does HVAC Cleaning Cost in Wichita Falls?
HVAC cleaning in Wichita Falls typically runs $350 to $650 for a standard single-family home, with whole-system deep cleans and dryer vent work priced separately. Small homes or single-return setups can land closer to $250-$350, while larger homes with multiple air handlers, heavy contamination, or duct repair needs climb to $900-$1,800. Every job gets a written estimate before work starts, and that estimate is what sets the final price, not a phone quote.
We’re Forge Duct Cleaning, and we work on air systems in Wichita Falls with professional-grade equipment from Rotobrush and Nikro. Our technicians have up to 15 years of experience, and we do duct repair as a core service, not an afterthought. That matters for pricing because a clean-and-walk-away crew and a crew that also fixes what it finds are quoting two different jobs.
- Typical single-family HVAC cleaning: $350-$650
- Larger homes (2,500+ sq ft, multiple returns): $650-$1,100
- Deep clean with heavy contamination: $900-$1,800
- Dryer vent cleaning: $125-$250
- Duct repair add-on: $200-$900 depending on the repair

HVAC Cleaning Cost Breakdown (2026)
Here’s how the line items usually break out in this market. Prices are typical, not fixed, and they change with the home, the system layout, and how much contamination we find on inspection.
| Service | Typical Price Range | What It Covers |
|---|---|---|
| Standard air duct cleaning (single system) | $350-$650 | Supply and return runs, registers, main trunk, negative-air containment |
| Multi-return or two-system homes | $650-$1,100 | Multiple air handlers, more runs, longer trunk lines |
| Deep clean with contamination | $900-$1,800 | Heavy debris, microbial concerns, Abatement Technologies air-quality equipment used on-site |
| Dryer vent cleaning | $125-$250 | Full vent run from dryer to exterior termination, lint removal |
| Duct repair (seal, reconnect, replace run) | $200-$900 | Depends on location and access; priced separately from cleaning |
| Register and vent cover cleaning | $15-$40 each | Pulled, washed, and reinstalled |
| Before-and-after visual documentation | Included with cleaning | Camera inspection of the runs we clean |
The biggest driver is square footage and system count. A 1,400 sq ft home with one central system and four or five registers is a very different job than a 3,000 sq ft home with two air handlers and themed returns. Access matters too: flex duct in a low attic is faster to clean than rigid duct tucked behind soffits. Contamination level is the third lever. If we pull a register and find heavy debris, rust, or evidence of moisture, the clean takes longer and needs more equipment. That’s where the Abatement Technologies gear comes in, because air-quality concerns need more than a vacuum and a brush. All pricing is set per job by the written estimate, and the free estimate is exactly that: free.
What’s included in a standard clean
Every job starts with the same setup: negative-air containment so dust goes into the equipment and not into your living room, the Rotobrush and Nikro systems brought in, and every register pulled so we can inspect the run behind it. We clean supply runs, return runs, the main trunk, the plenum faces at the air handler, and the register covers themselves. We document what we find with before-and-after images so you see the same thing we see. If we open a run and discover tears, disconnected joints, or crushed sections, we tell you what the repair will cost before we touch it.
What Affects HVAC Cleaning Pricing in Wichita Falls
Pricing here isn’t uniform from house to house, and it shouldn’t be. These are the factors that move the number most in this market.
- Home size and system count. More square footage means more duct runs and more time. Homes with two air handlers or dual-zone systems price higher because both systems need cleaning and both need documentation.
- Duct material and condition. Flex duct cleans faster than rigid sheet metal. Rigid duct that’s crushed, disconnected, or poorly sealed takes longer and often surfaces a repair that’s worth doing at the same visit.
- Contamination severity. A dusty system that’s never been cleaned is a straightforward job. Pet hair, tobacco residue, water stains, or visible debris at the registers means a heavier clean. We pull the Abatement Technologies equipment when the air quality picture is the concern, and that changes what the job takes.
- Access. Attic runs with a tight clearances, chase runs behind walls, and low-clearance crawl access in older Wichita Falls housing stock all take longer. Attic heat here is a real factor most of the year, and technicians working an attic in July work slower than in January. That’s not a surcharge, it’s just time.
- Dryer vent distance. A short vent run to an exterior wall prices lower than a long run with multiple elbows. Clogged long runs take real effort to clear correctly.
- Whether repair is needed. This is the biggest swing. If we find a disconnected run, a crushed trunk, or a leaking joint, duct repair is quoted separately. We do the repair, so you’re not calling a second contractor. That’s a savings in time and in coordination cost, even if the repair has its own price.
- Commercial and property-manager jobs. Multi-unit properties and commercial spaces price by square footage and system count, and they often need documentation for records. We quote those jobs the same way: written estimate, free.
How Duct Repair Fits Into the Cost
We repair what we find, not just clean around it. That separates cleaning cost from repair cost, and it’s why we quote them separately. Cleaning a system with a disconnected return is wasted effort until the return is reconnected. So on the estimate, you’ll see a clean line and a repair line when repair is needed. Typical repair costs run $200-$900, with most falling at the lower end: reconnect a flex run, reseal a plenum joint, re-hang a sagging trunk. A replaced run of flex duct with new insulation typically starts around $300-$500. We’ll show you the photo of the problem before we quote the fix, and we won’t surprise you with a second bill after the fact.
If you want a straight read on whether repair is likely, that’s part of the free estimate. Call (844) 230-0769. We answer 24/7, and a call outside dispatch hours is booked into the next opening, Sunday through Friday, 7am to 7pm.
How to Save on HVAC Cleaning
We’re not a discount operation, and we don’t pretend cleaning is a commodity. But there’s real money to be saved by doing this right.
- Bundle the dryer vent with the duct clean. If we’re already on-site and set up, adding the dryer vent saves you the second trip. It’s a natural add to the standard clean and it protects your home from the number one cause of laundry fires.
- Fix leaks before they get expensive. Small disconnected joints become crushed runs become air-quality problems. Handling a seal or reconnect on the same visit keeps the repair small. Call early and we’ll quote the repair alongside the clean.
- Get the free estimate in writing. A written estimate protects you from the phone-quote game. The number that shows up in writing is the number you can compare. Free estimates are us giving you the information you need to decide.
- Don’t wait until the system is failing. A system that’s struggling to push air might be a dirty blower or restricted runs, and those often cost less to address than an emergency component failure. A clean plus a repair is almost always cheaper than a replacement decision made under pressure.
- Combine units on a property. Property managers and multi-unit owners save per unit by scheduling all systems in one dispatch rather than calling for each building separately.
Call (844) 230-0769 for a free estimate. We answer 24/7. Fast dispatch from 7am to 7pm, Sunday through Friday.
HVAC Cleaning vs. “Blowing Out the Vents”
You’ll see ads for cheap “air duct cleaning” that amounts to a shop vacuum at the register and a puff of air. That’s not what we do, and the difference is pricing. Real HVAC cleaning means negative-air containment, mechanical agitation of every run, and a professional system behind it. Rotobrush and Nikro are purpose-built for this work. Our technicians have up to 15 years of experience, and we bring Abatement Technologies equipment when the job calls for it.
We also work with trusted air-quality brands including Honeywell and Aprilaire. That doesn’t mean we sell you a filtration product on every job. It means when a customer’s real issue is air quality and not just dust, we understand the system as a whole and can point them in the right direction after the clean.
What Sets Forge Apart
Serving Wichita Falls means dealing with local conditions head-on. The area’s long stretches of heat mean the system runs hard for much of the year, and that load shows up in the ductwork. Systems that run constantly pull more dust, more pet hair, and more outdoor debris through the returns than systems in milder climates. That makes regular cleaning more valuable, and it makes repair more likely to surface on inspection.
We show up with industrial-grade equipment and residential results. The ‘Forge’ name is about craftsmanship and durability: doing the job the first time so you’re not calling someone else back in six months. We only do air duct cleaning, dryer vent cleaning, and air duct repair. We don’t install HVAC systems, we don’t do mold remediation, and we don’t moonlight in other trades. That focus is the whole point.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does HVAC cleaning cost in Wichita Falls?
HVAC cleaning in Wichita Falls typically costs $350-$650 for a standard home. Larger homes with multiple systems run $650-$1,100, and deep cleans with heavy contamination run $900-$1,800. Dryer vent cleaning is $125-$250. Call (844) 230-0769 for a free estimate; the written estimate sets the final price.
Is it cheaper to clean the ducts or replace the system?
Cleaning is almost always cheaper than replacement. A standard clean at $350-$650 is a fraction of what an HVAC replacement costs. Replacement only makes sense when the equipment itself has failed, not when the ductwork is dirty. Cleaning and repairing duct runs solves the air-quality and airflow problem you actually called about. Call (844) 230-0769 for a free estimate before you make a replacement decision.
Can you come today?
Yes, same-day service is often available. Our crews dispatch Sunday through Friday, 7am to 7pm, and we answer 24/7. Call (844) 230-0769 and we’ll book you into the nearest opening. Estimates are free.
How much does duct repair cost in Wichita Falls?
Duct repair typically costs $200-$900, with most repairs landing at the lower end; reconnecting a disconnected run or resealing a plenum joint often comes in around $200-$400. Replacing a flex run with new insulation typically starts around $300-$500. We quote repair separately from cleaning and show you the photo of the problem before we do the work. Call (844) 230-0769 for an exact estimate, free.
Is dryer vent cleaning really worth adding?
Yes. Dryer vent cleaning at $125-$250 protects your home from the most common cause of dryer fires and improves drying times. Bundling it with a duct clean on the same visit saves the cost of a separate appointment. Call (844) 230-0769 to add it to the estimate.
Do you charge extra for weekends or after hours?
No. The price is set per job by the written estimate, and same-day work doesn’t carry a premium. We answer 24/7, and crews dispatch Sunday through Friday, 7am to 7pm; we’re closed Saturday. If a door fails on a Saturday, we’ll book you for Sunday. Call (844) 230-0769 for a free estimate.
What’s a typical total for a whole-home job in a larger Wichita Falls house?
A house of 2,500 sq ft or more with two systems and multiple returns typically runs $650-$1,100 for cleaning alone. Add duct repair if we find it, and it climbs toward $1,100-$1,500. We quote in writing before we start, so there are no surprises. Call (844) 230-0769 for a free estimate.

What Our Customers Say
"My wife's allergies had been bad in this house since we moved in. It's been two months since they did the ducts and it's noticeably better. Not a miracle, but real."
- Ernesto Delgado"Fair price and thorough work. They ran about an hour and a half past the estimated finish time, so don't schedule anything tight after."
- Marisol Castillo"Did the dryer vent while they were here for a small add on price. The dryer now finishes a load in one cycle instead of two."
- Diego Mendoza
