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.

New Braunfels presents a specific set of duct problems we don’t see the same way elsewhere in the region. The collision of intense mountain cedar pollen, river-corridor humidity, and a housing stock split between century-old German-settled cores and mass-graded new subdivisions creates contamination patterns that demand targeted cleaning, not generic vacuum passes. Our crews document every run with before-and-after photos, and every job carries a written price under Haven Standard Clause 1.
Why New Braunfels Homes Are Different
Ashe juniper pollen here is not ordinary seasonal dust. From December through February, the Balcones Escarpment releases some of the highest mountain cedar counts in Texas, and that ultra-fine particulate infiltrates duct systems at a scale that overwhelms standard filters. We’ve pulled supply plenums in Veramendi and Creekside homes where the first elbow held a half-inch mat of compressed pollen mixed with construction debris.
The river corridors compound this. Homes within a mile of the Guadalupe or Comal sit in localized humidity pockets that persist even when broader Hill Country air dries out. That moisture loads the pollen, accelerates microbial growth inside flex duct, and creates the musty re-activation homeowners notice when AC cycles on in spring.
Then there’s the construction legacy. A decade of rapid growth means thousands of homes in Vintage Oaks, Meyer Ranch, and the FM 306 corridor were occupied before post-construction duct cleaning occurred. Caliche limestone dust from mass grading, drywall particulate, and insulation fragments sit in those systems from day one. Technicians working off FM 1863 routinely find that chalky soil caked inside supply plenums, a pattern specific to Hill Country-edge construction that doesn’t replicate in San Antonio’s clay-soil suburbs.
Our Main New Braunfels Services
These are the three services New Braunfels homeowners request most often, each with its own detailed page:
Air Duct Cleaning in New Braunfels
Full negative-pressure extraction of supply and return runs, register to plenum, with a documented photo record of every duct. In New Braunfels, we pay particular attention to pollen loading in homes near the Balcones Escarpment and construction debris in newer subdivisions. Air Duct Cleaning in New Braunfels covers complete system scope and pricing.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in New Braunfels
Lint accumulation inspection and rotary-brush cleaning from appliance to exterior termination, with airflow verification. River-corridor humidity here causes lint to mat more densely than in drier climates, extending drying times and elevating fire risk. Dryer Vent Cleaning in New Braunfels details our full process.
Duct Repair & Sealing in New Braunfels
Leak detection, flex-duct replacement, and mastic sealing of supply and return plenums. Older homes in the historic core often show retrofitted flex in tight attic spaces with compression damage; new subdivisions frequently have gaps at plenum connections from rough-in quality issues. Duct Repair & Sealing in New Braunfels explains our repair scope.

BeforeAfterHVAC Cleaning in New Braunfels
HVAC Cleaning in New Braunfels addresses the specific contamination profile this city creates: mountain cedar pollen loading evaporator coils, river-humidity microbial growth in air handlers, and construction particulate restricting blower performance. We use Rotobrush and Nikro equipment with HEPA containment, and every component cleaned is photographed before and after as part of the standard job record.
Evaporator Coil Cleaning
Signs you need it
Ice buildup on the coil, extended cooling cycles, or musty odor when AC first cycles on indicate pollen and microbial matting restricting heat transfer.
What it costs in New Braunfels
Evaporator coil cleaning typically runs $180-$320, with heavily loaded coils from cedar season at the higher end.
How we do it
We access the coil through the plenum, apply foaming cleaner, agitate with soft brushes, and rinse with low-pressure water capture so no debris enters the drain pan.
Blower Cleaning
Signs you need it
Uneven airflow from registers, whistling at the return, or dust puffing when the fan starts point to debris buildup on blower blades and housing.
What it costs in New Braunfels
Blower cleaning and balancing generally falls between $150-$280 depending on housing configuration and debris volume.
How we do it
The blower assembly is removed, blades and housing are cleaned with compressed air and solvent, the motor bearing is inspected, and the unit is rebalanced before reinstall.
What HVAC Cleaning Costs in New Braunfels
| Item | Typical range in New Braunfels |
|---|---|
| Evaporator coil cleaning | $180-$320 |
| Blower cleaning | $150-$280 |
| Full HVAC cleaning (coil + blower + air handler) | $350-$650 |
How do I know the coil was actually cleaned?
Every HVAC cleaning includes a Documented Photo Record of the coil, blower, and air handler interior, delivered as part of your job record. The before-and-after images show the exact condition we found and what we removed.
Can HVAC cleaning reduce my cooling costs?
Yes, a clean coil and blower restore designed airflow and heat transfer, which can lower runtime and energy use, especially in New Braunfels where systems work hard through long cooling seasons. Call (830) 402-5110 for a written estimate on your system.
Air Quality & Sanitizing in New Braunfels
Air Quality & Sanitizing targets the microbial and odor problems New Braunfels humidity creates. River-corridor homes within a mile of the Guadalupe or Comal frequently show active mold in supply plenums, and cedar pollen breakdown produces organic odors that standard cleaning won’t remove. We apply EPA-registered treatments and install Honeywell and Aprilaire hardware where source control is needed.
Mold Treatment
Signs you need it
Visible growth at registers, persistent musty odor when HVAC cycles, or recent water intrusion near the air handler indicate active mold colonization inside the duct system.
What it costs in New Braunfels
Mold treatment for a typical residential system runs $400-$800, with severity and system size determining placement in that range.
How we do it
We apply an EPA-registered antimicrobial through the duct system under negative pressure, treat the affected plenum and coil surfaces directly, and verify with post-treatment photo documentation.
UV Light Installation
Signs you need it
Recurring microbial growth after cleaning, chronic allergy symptoms indoors, or a home in high-humidity zones near the rivers suggests the need for continuous surface sterilization at the coil.
What it costs in New Braunfels
UV-C light installation at the air handler typically costs $300-$550 for the unit and professional mounting, with lamp replacement every 12-18 months.
How we do it
We mount a Honeywell or Aprilaire UV-C lamp at the coil and plenum intersection, wire to the blower circuit for synchronized operation, and verify irradiance with a meter before closing the panel.
What Air Quality & Sanitizing Costs in New Braunfels
| Item | Typical range in New Braunfels |
|---|---|
| Mold treatment | $400-$800 |
| UV light installation | $300-$550 |
| Bacteria sanitizing (whole system) | $150-$300 |
Is mold treatment safe for pets and kids?
Yes, we use EPA-registered antimicrobials applied with the system under negative pressure and ventilated before reoccupancy, with product labels available for your review. Call (830) 402-5110 to discuss timing.
Does UV light actually prevent mold?
UV-C at the coil surface prevents microbial colonization there, but it does not filter airborne particles; we recommend pairing it with proper filtration for complete protection in humid New Braunfels homes.
