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 Austin, TX
HVAC cleaning in Austin typically runs $350-$650 for a whole-system service, with most jobs completed in a single visit because our crews work from a local Austin office. We’re CleanRun Duct Repair & Cleaning, and the homes we serve here - from 1980s slab-builds in Circle C Ranch to 1960s originals in Crestview - share one trait: attic ductwork that operates under thermal stress no other Texas market matches. Our crews photograph every duct run before and after, and every price is written before any panel comes off. Call (737) 259-5752 for a free estimate.
Why Austin Homes Are Different
Austin sits at the epicenter of North America’s most intense Ashe Juniper pollen event. December through February, cedar fever drives airborne pollen counts past 20,000 grains per cubic meter, and that load doesn’t stay outdoors. Slab-on-grade homes here - the standard in Steiner Ranch, Avery Ranch, and the Slaughter Lane corridor - push all ductwork through attics that hit 140-160°F in summer. Those attics cook flex-duct liners until they crack, then freeze them on January nights, cycling after cycle.
The result is twofold: pollen reservoirs that recirculate for weeks after outdoor counts drop, and physical duct degradation that releases insulation fibers into living spaces. Spring oak pollen compounds the problem, giving Austin one of the longest consecutive pollen loads of any major U.S. city. HVAC systems run cooling nine to ten months annually, drawing debris through ductwork at rates well above national averages. This isn’t routine maintenance territory. It’s a direct allergy-health intervention with a mechanical wear component.
Our Main Austin Services
Most Austin homeowners who call us start with one of these three services. Each has its own dedicated Austin page with deeper detail on local conditions and pricing.
Air Duct Cleaning in Austin
We clean the full duct network - supply and return runs, trunk lines, and plenum - using negative-pressure extraction with Rotobrush and Nikro equipment. In Austin, we regularly find cedar pollen packed 2-3 inches deep at the first elbow upstream of bedroom registers, especially in 1990s-2000s subdivisions where flex-duct has never been opened. Every run is photographed before and after. Read more about Air Duct Cleaning in Austin.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Austin
Lint accumulation accelerates in Austin’s hard-water zones, where mineral residue binds fibers to vent walls. We remove the full blockage with rotary brushes and high-velocity air, then verify airflow with a manometer. The job includes a written photo record of the vent interior. Read more about Dryer Vent Cleaning in Austin.
Duct Repair & Sealing in Austin
Thermal-cycled attic ductwork in Austin’s 15-30 year old homes shows cracked inner liners and separated joints at rates we don’t see in milder climates. We replace damaged flex-duct sections and seal metal joints with mastic, then pressure-test the system. Every repair is photographed and priced in writing before work starts.

BeforeAfterHVAC Cleaning in Austin
Evaporator coils in Austin homes operate under continuous load nine to ten months a year, collecting pollen and biofilm that restrict airflow and drive up energy bills. Blower wheels in these same systems cake with the same debris, throwing off balance and bearing wear. We treat HVAC cleaning as a system-level job, not a component wipe-down, because the local climate doesn’t let any single part stay clean while another fouls. Our HVAC Cleaning service is built for this market.
Evaporator Coil Cleaning
Signs you need it
Ice formation on the coil, weak airflow from registers, or a 15-20% spike in summer electric bills without rate changes.
What it costs in Austin
Evaporator coil cleaning in Austin typically runs $180-$340 as a standalone service, or $280-$480 when bundled with full system cleaning.
How we do it
We remove the coil if accessible, apply foaming cleaner, rinse with low-pressure water, and photograph the fin condition before reassembly.
Blower Cleaning
Signs you need it
Vibration or noise from the air handler, uneven airflow room-to-room, or dust puffing from registers at startup.
What it costs in Austin
Blower cleaning in Austin typically runs $150-$280 for wheel removal and cleaning, or $220-$380 with motor inspection and bearing check.
How we do it
We extract the blower assembly, clean the wheel with compressed air and solvent, inspect the motor and bearings, and document runout with a photo.
What HVAC Cleaning Costs in Austin
| Item | Typical range in Austin |
|---|---|
| Evaporator coil cleaning | $180-$340 |
| Blower cleaning | $150-$280 |
| Full system cleaning (coil + blower + ducts) | $450-$750 |
How do I know my HVAC needs cleaning versus just my ducts?
Check the coil through the access panel: visible pollen matting or biofilm on fins means the HVAC body needs service, not just the duct network. Call (737) 259-5752 and we’ll inspect both, with a written price for each option.
Can HVAC cleaning reduce my summer electric bill in Austin?
Yes - a fouled coil or blower can increase cooling costs 15-25% by restricting airflow and extending run times. We document pre- and post-cleaning coil condition so you can see the restriction yourself.
Air Quality & Sanitizing in Austin
Austin’s cedar and oak pollen seasons create ideal conditions for microbial growth inside damp duct systems, especially in homes with oversized AC units that short-cycle and leave humidity behind. Our Air Quality & Sanitizing service targets the biological load that mechanical cleaning alone won’t remove, using treatments we document with before-and-after photo records.
Mold Treatment
Signs you need it
Musty odor at startup, visible spotting on register boots, or allergy symptoms that worsen when the system runs.
What it costs in Austin
Mold treatment in Austin typically runs $280-$450 for localized application, or $450-$750 for whole-system treatment with post-treatment verification.
How we do it
We apply EPA-registered antimicrobial through the duct network, treat the coil and plenum, and deliver dated photos of treated surfaces.
UV Light Installation
Signs you need it
Recurring microbial growth after cleaning, or a home with chronic humidity control issues in the HVAC zone.
What it costs in Austin
UV light installation in Austin typically runs $350-$650 for a single-lamp system, or $550-$950 for dual-lamp coverage with Honeywell or Aprilaire hardware.
How we do it
We mount the lamp downstream of the coil with a sight-glass port, wire to the blower circuit, and include the replacement bulb schedule in writing.
What Air Quality & Sanitizing Costs in Austin
| Item | Typical range in Austin |
|---|---|
| Mold treatment (localized) | $280-$450 |
| UV light installation (single) | $350-$650 |
| Whole-system sanitizing package | $550-$950 |
Does sanitizing actually help with cedar fever symptoms?
It helps with the reservoir effect - pollen trapped in ducts recirculates for weeks after outdoor counts drop, and sanitizing removes the organic film that binds it. Call (737) 259-5752 for a free inspection and written quote.
How long does mold treatment take to work?
Odor reduction is immediate; full biofilm breakdown takes 48-72 hours. We schedule a follow-up photo check at 30 days under our 365-Day Done Right Promise.
Brands We Service in Austin
We stock parts and service systems from Honeywell, Aprilaire, Rotobrush, Nikro, and other major manufacturers. Most filter media, UV lamps, and sanitizer cartridges are available same-day from our Austin office. See our brands for the full list.
