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.

AfterTrane Air Duct Cleaning in Schertz, TX | CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Schertz
CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning - Schertz provides independent Trane service across the city, not manufacturer-authorized work. The one thing that makes our Trane work here different: we’ve pulled enough Trane flex duct out of Schertz attics since 2013 to recognize the exact delamination pattern that 150°F summers produce in the FM 78 corridor builds, and we document it with photos before quoting a price. Call (830) 402-5110 for a free estimate with written pricing before any work starts.
Why Schertz Residents Choose Us for Trane Service
Tomas Reyes, our owner and lead technician, grew up in Queens and learned the trade at Apex Technical School in Long Island City. He’s spent the better part of two decades pulling flex duct, cleaning plenums, and documenting what actually lives inside residential HVAC systems. The crew has been working Schertz for several years now, from newer builds off Roy Richard Drive to older homes where the ductwork hasn’t been touched since installation. The before photo does the talking. We just bring the camera.
We’re an independent Trane service provider, not authorized by Trane. That means we source OEM or equivalent-grade components-flex duct, mastic, coil cleaner-without factory markup, and we know the specific supply plenum, flex duct, and coil configurations Trane equipment uses in this market. Every job starts with a written price under Haven Standard Clause 1. Every duct run is photographed before and after. The 365-Day Done Right Promise is backed in writing, not mentioned and forgotten.
Our equipment roster includes Rotobrush, Nikro, Abatement Technologies, Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Guardsman. Customers can look up each brand independently. Technicians are background-checked and uniformed under Haven Standard Clause 3: Verified Crews. License number is published on every page, not buried in a footer.
Common Trane Air Duct Cleaning Problems We Solve in Schertz
- Delaminated flex duct liner on Trane systems in 1998-2012 builds. Schertz attics routinely exceed 150°F in July and August. The inner vapor barrier on Trane flex duct separates after two decades of heat cycling, shedding fiberglass into the supply airstream and clogging return grilles with particulate that looks like gray fuzz on a borescope camera. We replace the damaged run and seal the plenum with mastic.
- Undersized return ducts starving Trane air handlers. Subdivisions along FM 78 and Seguin Road frequently used regional HVAC subcontractors who ran restricted returns to save material costs. The higher air velocity pulls attic dust past duct seams at rates well above normal, accelerating interior contamination. We measure static pressure before and after sealing to verify the fix.
- Mountain Cedar pollen loading Trane evaporator coils and blower wheels. Ashe juniper releases pollen from December through February in Schertz’s Hill Country transition zone. The fine particulate coats Trane coil fins and blower blades, reducing airflow and producing a musty odor when the system first cycles on after sitting idle. We clean coils with foaming cleaner and document the before and after with photos.
- Condensate pan biological growth in high-humidity summers. Trane cased coils in Schertz attics develop overflow and blower compartment contamination when condensate drains clog with algae. We clean the pan, treat the drain line, and photograph the interior condition of the blower compartment.
- Construction debris and pet hair in military rental returns. Homes near Joint Base San Antonio-Randolph cycle through PCS tenants every 2-3 years. Landlords rarely schedule duct cleaning between occupants. We routinely find return ducts packed with drywall dust, carpet fibers, and prior-tenant pet hair that owner-occupied housing in Converse or Universal City rarely accumulates at the same density.
BeforeAfterTrane Service in Schertz: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Schertz’s proximity to Joint Base San Antonio-Randolph creates a housing market unlike neighboring cities. An unusually high share of homes here are tenant-occupied by military families on short-term orders, or owned as rentals by absentee landlords who live off-post. These properties routinely go 5-10 years without duct service because PCS tenants don’t invest in HVAC upkeep, and landlords only address visible failures between tenants. That’s where our Dryer Vent Cleaning in Schertz also becomes critical for rental safety. For Trane systems, this deferred maintenance concentrates in specific ways: the XR14 and XB13 units common in 2003-2008 builds along Seguin Road run with clogged returns that force the air handler to work against elevated static pressure, accelerating blower motor wear and coil fouling. When we open a Trane plenum in these rentals, the borescope shows layered debris-construction grit from original build, then pet hair from three tenants ago, then Mountain Cedar pollen from the last five winters. A neighboring city’s owner-occupied stock rarely hides this volume. We document every layer, quote a written price, and clean only what needs cleaning. If the interior of a supply trunk is genuinely clean, Tomas Reyes will say so and charge nothing extra.
Trane Models & Products We Service in Schertz
We work on Trane residential systems found in Schertz homes: the XR Series (XR14, XR16, XR17), XB Series (XB13, XB14), XV Series (XV18, XV20i), and S-Series furnaces (S8X1, S8X2, S9X1, S9V2). Our Trane sales & service approach uses OEM or equivalent-grade replacement components because Trane equipment is sensitive to airflow and static pressure. Aftermarket flex duct with incorrect R-value or mastic that doesn’t cure in high attic temperatures will fail faster than the original. We stock coil cleaner rated for Trane aluminum fins, plenum-grade mastic, and flex duct with vapor barriers rated for 150°F+ attic exposure. For Schertz service area customers, this means parts that fit correctly and documentation that proves it.

FAQs - Trane Air Duct Cleaning in Schertz
The odor comes from biological growth on the evaporator coil and blower wheel, fed by Mountain Cedar pollen and summer humidity. We clean both components with foaming cleaner and photograph the results. Call (830) 402-5110 for a free inspection.
Not necessarily. We repair and seal existing ductwork when the liner is intact and the layout is sound. Full replacement is recommended only when flex duct liner has extensively delaminated or metal ducts are crushed beyond sealing. Video inspection shows which condition applies to your system.
Ashe juniper pollen from December through February loads return-air grilles and duct interiors with fine particulate that bypasses standard filters. Trane systems with undersized returns pull this debris at higher velocity, accelerating coil and blower contamination. Annual cleaning before peak pollen season prevents buildup.
Short-term PCS tenants don’t schedule HVAC maintenance, and landlords typically only address visible failures between occupants. We find 5-10 years of accumulated debris in these returns-construction grit, pet hair, pollen layers-that owner-occupied homes rarely match. The pattern is concentrated enough that we can predict it by address history.
Cleaning removes the debris that compounds airflow restriction, but it cannot correct an undersized return duct. We measure static pressure to determine whether cleaning alone will help or whether duct modification is needed. Call (830) 402-5110 for testing and a written quote.
