When We Recommend Cleaning — and When We Do Not
The EPA’s guidance is that routine duct cleaning in an uncontaminated system has not been shown to prevent health problems. So we inspect before quoting. Cleaning is warranted where there is visible mould growth in the ductwork, vermin, substantial dust and debris deposition, or post-renovation contamination. If your system is clean, we will tell you.
What We Clean
- Supply trunks and branch runs under negative pressure with HEPA filtration
- Return ductwork and return plenums
- Evaporator and condenser coils — where the energy savings are
- Blower wheels, drain pans, condensate lines
- Registers, grilles, diffusers
- Bathroom and kitchen exhaust
Pricing
San Antonio properties are quoted per unit at $95–225, depending on register count, duct material and coil scope. Survey precedes quoting, because duct material changes both method and price. Portfolio rates apply across multiple San Antonio properties.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does air duct cleaning cost in San Antonio?
$95–225 per unit depending on register count, duct material and coil inclusion. A 240-unit San Antonio community budgets roughly $23,000–54,000. Survey before quoting is standard — duct material and system type move the price materially.
How often do San Antonio systems need cleaning?
NADCA recommends inspection every two years, cleaning when contamination is found. Most San Antonio properties run 3–5 years. San Antonio’s military presence around Joint Base San Antonio includes privatised housing communities where documented preventive maintenance is contractually mandated, not just code-required.
Is duct cleaning always worth doing?
No, and we will tell you so. The EPA’s position is that routine cleaning of an uncontaminated system has not been shown to prevent health problems. We inspect first. If your ductwork is clean, we say so and we do not quote the work.
What do you find in San Antonio systems?
Construction and renovation debris in supply trunks. Disconnected flex duct discharging into ceiling voids. Fouled evaporator coils. Microbial growth in return plenums where condensate collects. Loose access panels. San Antonio’s stock is dominated by two and three-storey garden product with wall terminations, and system age tracks that.
Can you clean dryer vents on the same visit?
Yes, and it is the efficient way to do it. We are already in the unit. Dryer exhaust also carries an annual inspection requirement under NFPA 211 that HVAC ductwork does not. Dryer vent cleaning in San Antonio.
