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.

AfterNikro HVAC Cleaning in Round Rock: What to Know First
We provide independent Nikro HVAC cleaning in Round Rock for homeowners who need their evaporator coils, blowers, condensers, and air handlers cleaned by technicians who know the equipment. Most Nikro jobs are completed in a single scheduled visit, with a written price delivered before we touch a single panel. In Round Rock, where cedar pollen loads and limestone dust from new construction in areas like Stone Oak Ranch and Teravista push Nikro systems harder than the national average, we clean what we find and document it.
This page is for Nikro owners who want to understand what they’re paying for, not chase a coupon. Call (737) 259-5752 for a free estimate with a written price.
How Nikro Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- Nikro SL4000 Series: Blower wheel imbalance from debris adhesion. The SL4000’s forward-curved blower wheel uses a lighter-gauge steel than comparable commercial units, which means dust and pollen cake unevenly and throw the wheel off balance. We see this in Round Rock homes near the Brushy Creek greenbelt where cottonwood and cedar load the return air. Our fix: remove the blower assembly, clean the wheel with a soft-bristle rotary tool (never pressure-wash, which warps the blades), rebalance on a static balancer, and photograph the runout before reassembly.
- Nikro PD5000 Portable: Clogged evaporator fins from hard water scale. The PD5000’s compact A-coil has tight fin spacing, 14 fins per inch, that traps mineral scale from Round Rock’s moderately hard municipal water when condensate pans drain slowly. The symptom is reduced airflow with no temperature drop at the register. We descale with a foaming cleaner formulated for aluminum fins, not the acid-based products that void the coil warranty, then apply a non-stick coil treatment.
- Nikro Vac-U-Flex Duct Cleaning Attachments: Worn flex-cuff seals at the tool head. These cuffs harden in Texas attic heat and lose negative-pressure seal, which means the vacuum pulls from the room instead of the duct. We replace with OEM Nikro cuffs where available, or machine our own from silicone sheet stock when backordered, and test seal with a manometer reading before starting the duct run.
- Nikro HEPA-AIRE A500: Filter bypass from frame distortion. The A500’s filter frame is ABS plastic that fatigues if technicians overtighten the cam latches. Gaps form at the corners, and dirty air bypasses the HEPA. We check frame squareness with a carpenter’s square, replace distorted frames with Nikro part number 860482, and torque the latches to manufacturer spec, not “hand tight.”
- Nikro Abatement Technologies PAS2400: Heat exchanger soot bridging. When these units run with incomplete combustion, soot bridges between the closely spaced clamshell cells and restricts flue gas passage. In Round Rock’s older Teravista builds with original Nikro furnaces, we find this where gas pressure was never properly set at install. We clean with a nylon brush and vacuum extraction, then combustion-test with a digital analyzer and provide the printout.
Our Nikro HVAC Cleaning Process
- 1
Camera inspection before quote. We run a borescope through the plenum and main trunk lines to show you what we’re looking at. The camera goes in first. Then we talk.
- 2
Written price delivered. Haven Standard Clause 1: one flat price per system, agreed in writing, before any work starts. No per-vent add-ons, no “we found another problem” mid-job.
- 3
Parts decision with documentation. For Nikro equipment, we source OEM parts when the warranty is active or when the part is critical to system balance. For out-of-warranty units, we use quality aftermarket equivalents from Guardsman or Honeywell and note the substitution on your job record.
- 4
Cleaning with trade-specific methods. Evaporator coils get foaming cleaner and fin combing. Blowers get removed, cleaned, and rebalanced. Condenser coils get straight-fin repair and pressure-wash from the inside out. Every step is photographed.
- 5
Post-clean testing and photo record delivery. We measure static pressure, temperature split, and airflow at the register. Your documented photo record, with before-and-after images of every duct run and component, is delivered before we leave. The 365-Day Done Right Promise is in writing on every invoice.

Why Round Rock Homeowners Call CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Round Rock for Nikro Work
We’re an independent Nikro service provider, not a factory-authorized dealer, which means we work on what you own without pushing a replacement sale. Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed under Haven Standard Clause 3: Verified Crews. We also service Lennox, Trane, and Carrier systems, so when a Round Rock home has mixed-brand HVAC, we don’t hand you off.

Tomas Reyes runs the crew in Round Rock personally, and he still checks the camera feed on every main trunk line before a quote goes out.
FAQs
No. Warranty coverage requires that maintenance be performed by qualified technicians using appropriate methods, not that you use a factory-authorized dealer. We document our process and parts so you have a record if a warranty claim arises. For questions about your specific Nikro warranty status, call (737) 259-5752 and we’ll review it with you.
OEM Nikro parts typically arrive in 3-5 business days from regional distributors in Dallas or Houston. For critical components, we stock common blower wheels, flex cuffs, and filter frames locally, and we use quality aftermarket equivalents when the unit is out of warranty and the part meets manufacturer spec. We’ll tell you which route we’re taking and why, in writing, before ordering.
Replace when the heat exchanger is cracked, the compressor has failed, or repair costs exceed 40% of replacement value on a unit over 12 years old. Clean first, because many “weak” Nikro systems we see in Round Rock are simply choked with debris. The camera shows the difference between a dirty system and a dying one. Call (737) 259-5752 for a free inspection and honest assessment.
You receive a documented photo record of every duct run and component, before and after, as a standard deliverable on every job. Haven Standard Clause 2: Documented Results. If we can’t show it, we didn’t do it.
Most scheduled Nikro cleanings are completed on the appointment date. We don’t quote and clean in a single unscheduled drop-in, because the written price requires inspection first. Book your free estimate and we’ll schedule the cleaning visit at the same time if the scope is straightforward. Call (737) 259-5752 to set it up.
