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.

AfterAir Duct Cleaning in Lago Vista, TX
HVAC cleaning in Lago Vista runs $280-$520 for a full system, with most jobs scheduled after cedar season when pollen loads peak. CleanRun crews photograph every duct run before and after, and every quote is written and agreed before work starts. Call (737) 259-5752 for a free estimate.
Lago Vista’s hillside homes above Lake Travis pull in extraordinary volumes of cedar pollen during winter months, and many of these properties were built as 1970s-1990s vacation retreats with flex ductwork never meant for year-round use. When owners converted these seasonal cabins to full-time residences, they inherited HVAC systems that sat dormant for six or more months annually, often accumulating debris no one knew existed. Our Austin office dispatches crews to Lago Vista daily, and every job arrives with a written price, background-checked technicians, and the full photo documentation we’ve delivered since 2013.
Why Lago Vista Homes Are Different
The Hill Country’s thin caliche and limestone soil traps almost nothing, so windblown limestone dust, cedar debris, and western Hill Country wildfire smoke funnel straight into hillside homes on breezy days. Lago Vista sits in the densest Ashe juniper habitat in Central Texas, and December through February cedar pollen counts here exceed most urbanized Austin areas by wide margins. HVAC systems continue recirculating that pollen-packed debris long after outdoor counts drop.
A large share of local housing originated as Lake Travis weekend retreats, built economically with flex duct runs now 30-50 years old. These systems are prone to sagging, gaps, and collapsed inner liners, and the lake’s humidity fluctuations encourage mildew growth inside shoreline flex ductwork. Technicians regularly find thick mold and rodent debris in ductwork that sat sealed and stagnant for decades.
Our Main Lago Vista Services
Three services account for most calls from Lago Vista homeowners. Each has its own page with full pricing and scope details.
Air Duct Cleaning in Lago Vista
Negative-pressure extraction of every duct run, with before-and-after photography of each line. Cedar season loads and decades of deferred maintenance in converted vacation homes make this the most common starting point for Lago Vista customers. Air Duct Cleaning in Lago Vista covers full system scope and flat-rate pricing.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Lago Vista
Lint accumulation accelerates in lakeside humidity, and older homes often have vent runs that exceed modern code length. We clean the full vent path from appliance to termination and photograph the obstruction found. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Lago Vista includes exact pricing and what’s included.
Duct Repair & Sealing in Lago Vista
Sagging flex duct, separated joints, and collapsed liners are standard findings in 1980s-era vacation homes now used year-round. We repair or replace damaged sections and seal the system to spec. Duct Repair & Sealing in Lago Vista details material options and written pricing.

BeforeAfterHVAC Cleaning in Lago Vista
HVAC cleaning in Lago Vista addresses systems overwhelmed by cedar pollen, limestone dust, and wildfire particulates that load components never designed for continuous filtration. Many evaporator coils we encounter in converted vacation homes carry multiple seasons of compacted debris, restricting airflow and forcing compressors to run longer in summer heat. Our HVAC Cleaning service covers the full air-handling system with the same written-price and photo-documentation standards applied to every CleanRun job since 2013.
Evaporator Coil Cleaning
Signs you need it
Ice formation on refrigerant lines, weak airflow from registers, or cooling that can’t keep up after noon in July.
What it costs in Lago Vista
Evaporator coil cleaning typically runs $180-$340 depending on accessibility and contamination level.
How we do it
We access the coil through the plenum (the main air distribution box), apply foaming cleaner, rinse with low-pressure water, and photograph the before and after condition for the job record.
Blower Cleaning
Signs you need it
Vibration or noise from the air handler, uneven airflow between rooms, or dust puffing from registers at startup.
What it costs in Lago Vista
Blower assembly cleaning ranges $160-$290 based on motor type and debris depth.
How we do it
We remove the blower wheel and housing, clean each blade and the motor cavity, balance the assembly, and document the debris removed with photos.
What HVAC Cleaning Costs in Lago Vista
| Item | Typical range in Lago Vista |
|---|---|
| Evaporator coil cleaning | $180-$340 |
| Blower assembly cleaning | $160-$290 |
| Full HVAC system cleaning | $280-$520 |
How do I know my HVAC system needs cleaning versus just the ducts?
If rooms cool unevenly, the air handler makes new noise, or your energy bill climbed without rate changes, the components need attention. Call (737) 259-5752 and we’ll inspect both system and ductwork, then put the scope and price in writing before any work begins.
Can HVAC cleaning help with cedar allergies?
Cleaning the coil and blower removes the pollen reservoir that recirculates after outdoor counts drop, though it won’t block new intake. We photograph the pollen load removed so you can see what was cycling through your home.
Air Quality & Sanitizing in Lago Vista
Air quality and sanitizing in Lago Vista targets the mold, bacteria, and persistent odors that thrive in lakeside humidity inside decades-old flex ductwork. Converting a sealed, stagnant vacation home to full-time use often reveals microbial growth owners never smelled during weekend visits, and cedar pollen’s organic load feeds bacterial colonies in damp duct interiors. Our Air Quality & Sanitizing service applies measured treatments with documented results, not scented cover-ups.
Mold Treatment
Signs you need it
Musty odor at register startup, visible spotting on vent covers, or respiratory irritation that improves when you leave home.
What it costs in Lago Vista
Whole-system mold treatment runs $320-$580 depending on contamination extent and duct accessibility.
How we do it
We apply EPA-registered antimicrobial through the full duct network, treat the plenum and air handler, and deliver before-and-after photos plus lab-ready documentation of the treatment applied.
UV Light Installation
Signs you need it
Repeated mold recurrence after cleaning, or a home with chronic humidity issues near the Lake Travis shoreline.
What it costs in Lago Vista
UV-C lamp installation with Honeywell or Aprilaire equipment ranges $380-$650 including mounting and electrical connection.
How we do it
We mount the lamp downstream of the evaporator coil where microbial growth concentrates, wire to the blower circuit, and photograph the installation for the job record.
What Air Quality & Sanitizing Costs in Lago Vista
| Item | Typical range in Lago Vista |
|---|---|
| Whole-system mold treatment | $320-$580 |
| UV-C lamp installation | $380-$650 |
| Combined treatment with documentation | $520-$890 |
Does mold treatment kill everything in the ducts?
EPA-registered antimicrobials eliminate active mold and bacteria on contact, but no treatment prevents new growth if moisture persists. We identify and document moisture sources so you can address the cause, not just the symptom.
How long does UV light take to work?
Surface sterilization begins immediately; reduction in airborne microbial load typically shows within one to two weeks of continuous operation. The lamp we install is photographed in place and noted in your written job record.
