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 Selma, TX
HVAC cleaning in Selma typically runs $280-$520 for a whole-system service, with air quality and sanitizing treatments adding $180-$440 depending on scope. Every job starts with a written price before work begins, and every duct run is photographed before and after. Call (830) 402-5110 for a free estimate.
Selma’s housing stock is different from surrounding markets. The city incorporated and built out almost entirely after 2000, which means the flex duct systems in neighborhoods like Retama Ridge, The Heights at Retama, and Selma Park were installed in concentrated waves by volume builders. Those ducts are now hitting the 15-20 year mark when sagging, debris accumulation, and thermal degradation appear simultaneously across entire streets. Our crews dispatch from the San Antonio office and serve Selma daily.
Why Selma Homes Are Different
Selma sits at the northeastern edge of Bexar County, squarely in the mountain cedar pollen corridor. From December through February, Ashe juniper pollen loads infiltrate return systems at levels flatter southern San Antonio suburbs don’t match. That pollen persists in ductwork year-round, compounding with the region’s six-plus month cooling season that keeps attic flex ducts under thermal stress.
The construction pattern matters too. Entire subdivisions went up in two-to-four-year windows with identical builder-grade flex duct layouts. Our technicians find the same failure points street by street: sagging mid-span between joists where support hangers were skipped, debris dams at every low point, and loose boot connections at the same register locations. In Selma, the model year of the neighborhood often predicts the attic condition before we open the hatch.
Our Main Selma Services
Most Selma homeowners call us for two services that address the specific conditions this market faces. We also route three additional services to dedicated Selma pages.
Air Duct Cleaning in Selma
We clean the full duct system with negative-pressure extraction, photographing every run before and after. In Selma, this means addressing pollen loading from cedar season and debris accumulation at sag points in flex duct. Air Duct Cleaning in Selma covers whole-home cleaning, register-level detail work, and the documented photo record included on every visit.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Selma
Dryer vent blockages are common in Selma’s 2000s-era homes where long vent runs through attics create lint accumulation points. We clean the full vent path from appliance to termination, test airflow, and document the before and after condition. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Selma addresses fire risk and drying efficiency.
Duct Repair & Sealing in Selma
When flex duct sagging, disconnected joints, or liner cracking appear, we repair or replace the affected runs and seal the system. Selma’s concentrated construction waves mean we often find identical failure patterns across neighboring homes. Duct Repair & Sealing in Selma covers diagnostics, repair, and full system sealing.

BeforeAfterHVAC Cleaning in Selma
HVAC cleaning in Selma addresses the component-level buildup that whole-duct cleaning alone won’t reach. The city’s post-2000 construction wave installed air handlers and coils in hot attics where sustained thermal cycling and cedar pollen infiltration combine to foul evaporator coils and blower assemblies. We clean each component with the same documented photo record we apply to duct runs. HVAC Cleaning covers the full system approach.
Evaporator Coil Cleaning
Signs you need it
Ice buildup on the coil, weak airflow from registers, or cooling that can’t keep up during Selma’s July-August peak loads.
What it costs in Selma
Evaporator coil cleaning in Selma 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 before and after condition.
Blower Cleaning
Signs you need it
Vibration noise from the air handler, uneven airflow room to room, or dust streaking at supply registers.
What it costs in Selma
Blower assembly cleaning in Selma typically runs $140-$260.
How we do it
We remove the blower wheel, clean blades and housing, balance the assembly, and document the debris removed.
What HVAC Cleaning Costs in Selma
| Item | Typical range in Selma |
|---|---|
| Evaporator coil cleaning | $180-$340 |
| Blower assembly cleaning | $140-$260 |
| Full HVAC system cleaning (coil + blower + housing) | $280-$520 |
How do I know if my coil is dirty or my refrigerant is low?
Ice on the coil with normal airflow usually means dirt; ice with weak airflow and warm air from registers suggests low refrigerant. We inspect the coil visually and test pressures before recommending cleaning or calling for a refrigerant charge.
Will HVAC cleaning fix my high summer electric bills?
A dirty coil or blower can raise consumption 15-25% by forcing longer run times. Cleaning restores designed efficiency, though it won’t fix duct leakage or poor insulation. We photograph the restriction so you can see the direct cause.
Air Quality & Sanitizing in Selma
Air quality and sanitizing in Selma targets the persistent allergen load that cedar season deposits and standard cleaning leaves behind. The same post-2000 flex duct systems that trap debris also harbor microbial growth where condensation collects at sag points. We treat these conditions with documented application methods and deliver before and after photo evidence. Air Quality & Sanitizing covers the full treatment spectrum.
Mold Treatment
Signs you need it
Musty odor at registers, visible discoloration inside duct runs, or aggravated allergy symptoms that peak when the system cycles.
What it costs in Selma
Localized mold treatment in Selma typically runs $220-$400; whole-system treatment runs $380-$620.
How we do it
We apply EPA-registered antimicrobial through the duct system, treat affected runs directly, and photograph all treated surfaces.
UV Light Installation
Signs you need it
Recurring microbial growth after cleaning, chronic musty odor, or household members with mold sensitivity.
What it costs in Selma
UV-C lamp installation in Selma typically runs $340-$580 including hardware and mounting.
How we do it
We mount the lamp downstream of the coil with a sight glass for verification, wire to the blower circuit, and document placement.
What Air Quality & Sanitizing Costs in Selma
| Item | Typical range in Selma |
|---|---|
| Localized mold treatment | $220-$400 |
| Whole-system antimicrobial treatment | $380-$620 |
| UV-C lamp installation | $340-$580 |
Is the treatment safe for pets and kids?
We use EPA-registered products applied to duct interiors only, with no airborne residue during normal occupancy. The system runs unoccupied for 30 minutes post-treatment as a standard protocol.
How long does mold treatment take to work?
Odor reduction is immediate; allergen load drops over 48-72 hours as the system cycles. We return photos of treated surfaces so you can verify coverage without entering the attic.

What Selma 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."
