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.

Call (830) 402-5110 for a written estimate before any work starts.
Why Converse Homes Are Different
Converse sits immediately outside Joint Base San Antonio-Randolph, and a large share of the city’s 1980s-2000s housing stock was built specifically to absorb the base’s rotating military population. Frequent PCS moves mean these homes cycle through multiple families every 2-3 years with almost no consistent HVAC upkeep, leaving original flex-duct systems now 25-40 years old packed with layered dust, pet dander from successive owners, and South Texas cedar and oak pollen.
The San Antonio metro’s mountain cedar season (December through February) and oak/grass pollen surge (March-April) force HVAC systems to run nearly year-round, driving heavy allergen loads deep into ductwork. Caliche dust from Converse’s still-expanding subdivisions and unpaved lots compounds buildup. Technicians working Summerhill-area subdivisions frequently pull flex duct sections containing visibly distinct strata of pet hair from multiple previous families, a reliable sign of zero cleaning between military PCS handoffs.
Most Converse homes are single-story slab construction with fiberglass flex duct runs laid in unconditioned attic spaces where summer temps routinely exceed 130-140°F, degrading duct liner and causing micro-tears that pull in attic insulation particles. Many systems have never had professional duct cleaning despite two or three ownership cycles.
Our Main Converse Services
Converse homeowners call us most often for these three services, each with its own dedicated page and pricing.
Air Duct Cleaning in Converse
We clean the full duct network, registers, and return plenum using negative-pressure extraction with Rotobrush and Nikro equipment. Every run is photographed before and after. The military turnover pattern in Converse means we often find 15-25 years of accumulated debris in homes that have never been professionally cleaned. Air Duct Cleaning in Converse
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Converse
Dryer vent blockages are common in Converse’s 1980s-2000s tract homes where original vent runs exceed 25 feet through unconditioned attics. Lint accumulation accelerates in the humid summer months. We clean the full run from appliance to termination and photograph the interior condition. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Converse
Duct Repair & Sealing in Converse
Flex-duct degradation from Converse attic heat and rodent activity in older subdivisions creates leaks that waste conditioned air and pull in contaminants. We repair or replace damaged sections and seal connections with mastic, documenting every repair with before-and-after photos. Duct Repair & Sealing in Converse

BeforeAfterHVAC Cleaning in Converse
HVAC cleaning in Converse addresses the equipment side of systems that have cycled through multiple military families without maintenance. Evaporator coils in these homes often carry 5-10 years of biological growth, and blower wheels lose 20-30% of airflow capacity to debris buildup. The combination of caliche dust, cedar pollen, and flex-duct liner degradation creates conditions we don’t see in more settled neighborhoods. Our HVAC Cleaning service covers the full mechanical system.
Evaporator Coil Cleaning
Signs you need it
Ice formation on refrigerant lines, weak airflow from registers, or musty odors when the AC cycles on in Converse’s humid summer months.
What it costs in Converse
Evaporator coil cleaning in Converse typically runs $180-$340.
How we do it
We access the coil through the plenum, apply foaming cleaner, rinse with low-pressure water, and photograph the fins before and after.
Blower Cleaning
Signs you need it
Uneven heating or cooling across rooms, longer cycle times, or visible dust puffing from registers when the fan starts.
What it costs in Converse
Blower cleaning in Converse typically runs $140-$260.
How we do it
We remove the blower assembly, clean the wheel and housing with compressed air and solvent, balance the assembly, and document with photos.
What HVAC Cleaning Costs in Converse
| Item | Typical range in Converse |
|---|---|
| Evaporator coil cleaning | $180-$340 |
| Blower cleaning | $140-$260 |
| Full HVAC system cleaning (coil + blower + housing) | $320-$580 |
How do I know my HVAC system needs cleaning versus just the ducts?
If your ducts are clean but rooms still heat or cool unevenly, or you smell musty odors directly from the vents, the problem is likely in the coil or blower. We inspect both during any duct cleaning and show you what the camera finds.
Can HVAC cleaning fix the humidity problems in my Converse home?
A dirty evaporator coil can’t dehumidify properly because the biological layer insulates the fins from air contact. Cleaning restores the coil’s designed moisture removal capacity, though it won’t fix oversized equipment or duct leaks.
Air Quality & Sanitizing in Converse
Air quality and sanitizing in Converse targets the biological load that accumulates in systems with multiple ownership cycles and no maintenance history. The layered pet dander, pollen, and dust we find in Summerhill-area ducts creates an environment where mold and bacteria can establish colonies, particularly on evaporator coils that stay wet through long cooling seasons. Our Air Quality & Sanitizing service treats these contaminants at the source.
Mold Treatment
Signs you need it
Visible black or green growth on registers or inside the plenum, or a persistent earthy smell when the system runs.
What it costs in Converse
Mold treatment in Converse typically runs $280-$520 depending on colony extent and accessibility.
How we do it
We apply EPA-registered antimicrobial through the duct network, treat the coil and plenum directly, and verify with post-treatment photography.
UV Light Installation
Signs you need it
Recurring mold or biological growth despite cleaning, or family members with allergies that worsen when the HVAC runs.
What it costs in Converse
UV light installation in Converse typically runs $380-$680 including the lamp and power supply.
How we do it
We mount a Honeywell or Aprilaire UV-C lamp in the supply plenum, wire to the blower circuit, and show you the installation before closing the panel.
What Air Quality & Sanitizing Costs in Converse
| Item | Typical range in Converse |
|---|---|
| Mold treatment | $280-$520 |
| UV light installation | $380-$680 |
| Bacteria sanitizing (whole system) | $180-$320 |
Is UV light worth it in Converse’s climate?
The long cooling season and high humidity in Converse create ideal conditions for coil mold, and UV-C lamps prevent regrowth between cleanings. We install Honeywell and Aprilaire units with a 1-year lamp life.
How do I know mold treatment worked?
We photograph the treated surfaces before and after, and provide the images as part of your documented job record. Haven Standard Clause 1 requires written pricing; our photo record verifies the work was performed.
Brands We Service in Converse
We clean and service systems with Rotobrush and Nikro extraction equipment, and install Honeywell and Aprilaire UV and filtration products. Parts for common Converse systems are stocked locally, and most repairs don’t require a return visit.

What Converse Customers Say
"They found a disconnected duct in the crawl space that had been dumping conditioned air under the house for years. Photographed it, quoted the repair, fixed it."
- Devon A."The dryer vent was almost completely blocked with lint. They showed me the photograph and I understood immediately why the dryer had been running twice."
- Lucia M."Flat price agreed up front, no per-vent add-ons at the end. That was the whole reason I did not call the coupon company."
