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 Hutto, TX
HVAC cleaning in Hutto typically runs $280-$450 for a whole-system service, with most jobs scheduled within a week of the written estimate. Hutto’s explosive growth since the mid-2000s produced a concentrated wave of production-built tract homes now hitting their first professional cleaning cycle simultaneously, a pattern neighboring Williamson County cities simply don’t replicate at this scale. We dispatch crews to Hutto from our Austin office, and every job starts with a written price before any panel comes off. Call (737) 259-5752 for a free estimate.
Why Hutto Homes Are Different
Hutto’s subdivisions, Star Ranch and Blackhawk chief among them, were built during frantic growth phases by DR Horton, Lennar, and similar production builders. Speed-to-close routinely meant HVAC systems were running and collecting drywall dust, blown insulation fragments, and construction debris before drywall finishing was complete. These homes are now 10-20 years old, creating a uniquely concentrated first-time duct cleaning market.
Central Texas mountain cedar (Ashe juniper) pollen, peaking December through February, drives heavy filtration loads on Hutto systems. The Blackland Prairie clay soils surrounding the city generate extremely fine particulate that infiltrates return-air systems through slab gaps and improperly sealed boots. Active construction on Hutto’s undeveloped prairie means finished sections sit downwind of open grading sites, accelerating re-soiling of returns in homes bordering active build-out.
Our Main Hutto Services
Most Hutto homeowners contact us for these three services:
Air Duct Cleaning in Hutto
We clean the full duct network, from return plenum (the sheet-metal box where air enters the system) to supply registers, using negative-pressure extraction (suction that contains debris rather than releasing it into the home). In Hutto, we regularly find construction debris still lodged at first elbows in Star Ranch homes that have never been cleaned. Every run is photographed before and after. Air Duct Cleaning in Hutto
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Hutto
Dryer vent blockages are a leading cause of house fires. We remove lint accumulation from the appliance connection through the exterior termination, measuring airflow before and after. Hutto’s clay dust mixes with lint to form dense, compacted blockages in longer vent runs common in production homes. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Hutto
Duct Repair & Sealing in Hutto
Flexible duct runs in Hutto’s production homes degrade at connection points and develop leaks that waste conditioned air into attics and crawl spaces. We seal with mastic or replace damaged sections, then verify with pressure testing. Many Hutto homes we inspect have never had their ductwork examined since original construction.

BeforeAfterHVAC Cleaning in Hutto
HVAC cleaning addresses the components air moves through, not just the ducts. In Hutto, evaporator coils in 10-20-year-old production homes are often caked with the same construction debris and clay particulate that entered ductwork at move-in, reducing efficiency and accelerating compressor wear. HVAC Cleaning from CleanRun treats these components as an integrated system, with every step documented in the photo record delivered at job completion.
Evaporator Coil Cleaning
Signs you need it
Ice formation on refrigerant lines, weak airflow from vents, or cooling that cannot keep pace with Hutto’s 100°F summer afternoons.
What it costs in Hutto
Evaporator coil cleaning in Hutto typically ranges $180-$280.
How we do it
We access the coil through the air-handler cabinet, apply foaming cleaner approved for aluminum fins, rinse with low-pressure water capture, and photograph the before and after condition through a borescope.
Blower Cleaning
Signs you need it
Unbalanced airflow between rooms, vibration noise from the air-handler closet, or dust puffing from registers when the system cycles on.
What it costs in Hutto
Blower assembly cleaning in Hutto typically ranges $150-$220.
How we do it
We remove the blower wheel and motor assembly, clean blades and housing with compressed air and solvent, balance the wheel on reinstallation, and record amp draw to verify motor health.
What HVAC Cleaning Costs in Hutto
| Item | Typical range in Hutto |
|---|---|
| Evaporator coil cleaning | $180-$280 |
| Blower assembly cleaning | $150-$220 |
| Full HVAC system cleaning (coil + blower + housing) | $280-$450 |
How do I know my HVAC components need cleaning, not just my ducts?
If your ducts are clean but rooms still heat or cool unevenly, or your energy bills have risen without rate changes, the coil or blower is likely restricted. We inspect both during every duct assessment in Hutto and show you what the camera sees before recommending any scope. Call (737) 259-5752 for a free estimate.
Can HVAC cleaning fix the musty smell when my AC runs?
Musty odors often originate from microbial growth on a wet evaporator coil or in the condensate pan beneath it. Cleaning removes the biological load; if growth has penetrated porous insulation, we will document that and recommend targeted treatment. Call (737) 259-5752 to schedule an inspection.
Air Quality & Sanitizing in Hutto
Air quality and sanitizing addresses biological and chemical contaminants that survive standard mechanical cleaning. In Hutto, the combination of construction debris legacy, mountain cedar pollen infiltration, and clay particulate creates a substrate in ductwork that supports mold and bacterial growth when humidity rises. Air Quality & Sanitizing applies EPA-registered treatments to these sources, with application verified by photo record.
Mold Treatment
Signs you need it
Visible growth on register fins, persistent musty odor after HVAC cleaning, or household members with unexplained respiratory symptoms that worsen when the system runs.
What it costs in Hutto
Targeted mold treatment in Hutto typically ranges $350-$550 per system.
How we do it
We apply an EPA-registered fungistatic agent (a chemical that inhibits fungal growth) through a fogging system that reaches the full duct run, with dwell time verified before the system is returned to service.
UV Light Installation
Signs you need it
Repeated mold recurrence after treatment, high household sensitivity to biological contaminants, or a humidifier setting that keeps the evaporator coil wet for extended periods.
What it costs in Hutto
UV-C lamp installation in Hutto typically ranges $400-$650 including hardware.
How we do it
We mount a UV-C lamp (ultraviolet light at a wavelength that disrupts microbial DNA) in the air-handler housing upstream of the coil, wire to the blower circuit for automatic operation, and verify irradiance with a meter.
What Air Quality & Sanitizing Costs in Hutto
| Item | Typical range in Hutto |
|---|---|
| Mold treatment (per system) | $350-$550 |
| UV-C lamp installation | $400-$650 |
| Bacteria sanitizing (whole system) | $300-$450 |
Is mold treatment safe for my family and pets?
We use only EPA-registered products applied at manufacturer-specified dilutions, with the system isolated during treatment and fully ventilated before reoccupancy. The photo record shows where product was applied and confirms rinsing where required by label. Call (737) 259-5752 for product-specific documentation.
How long does UV light installation take?
Most UV installations in Hutto are completed in 90-120 minutes, including mounting, electrical connection, and irradiance verification. The lamp is warranted for one year; replacement bulbs are stocked locally for next-day service. Call (737) 259-5752 to schedule.
