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.

AfterFast, Reliable Air Duct Cleaning Across Converse
Air duct cleaning for a typical single-family home in Converse runs $320-$580 for a full system, with most jobs completed in one visit and a written price delivered before any panel comes off. We’re the Air Duct Cleaning in Converse crew that shows up with documented credentials, not a coupon and a shop vac.
Our dispatch office coordinates crews from San Antonio, and we’ve been routing trucks to Converse since 2013. We know the difference between a 1985 rental off Gibbs Sprawl Road with original flex duct in a 140°F attic and a 1998 build in the newer sections near FM 78. That local housing knowledge changes what we bring, how we quote, and what we expect to find when the camera goes in.
Call (726) 600-7155. A live person answers, and we’ll have a written estimate to you before we schedule.
Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning San Antonio Is Converse’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
We’ve served more than 52,000 homes since 2013, and a disproportionate share of our repeat calls come from Converse’s Randolph-adjacent corridor. Homeowners here, and the property managers who serve them, have learned to ask one question first: “Do you photograph every duct run before and after?” We do. It’s standard on every job, not an upsell.
Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and identified by name before arrival - Haven Standard Clause 3: Verified Crews. Tomas Reyes built this practice into the company from the first truck. Customers in Converse know who they’re letting in, and they know the license number is published on every document we hand them.
Response time to Converse is typically same-week, sometimes next-day depending on crew routing from our San Antonio office. We don’t manufacture urgency. We schedule honestly, show up when promised, and finish with a photo record you can scroll through on your phone before we pack up.
The 365-Day Done Right Promise applies here exactly as it does everywhere we work: if the work is not right, we make it right. Written, not verbal. No manager approval required.
Our Air Duct Cleaning Services in Converse
Residential Duct Cleaning
Converse’s housing stock is dominated by single-story, slab-on-grade tract homes built between roughly 1978 and 2000. Most have original flexible ductwork running through attics where summer heat exceeds 140°F. That heat degrades duct liner and separates joints at the plenum - the main distribution box connected to your air handler. A register-only vacuum job, the kind the coupon companies sell, pulls surface dust but leaves degraded liner flaking into your supply air. Our Air Duct Cleaning team uses negative-pressure extraction - sealing the system and drawing debris out through a dedicated vacuum port - so nothing gets pushed deeper into the runs.
Commercial Duct Cleaning
Converse’s commercial base includes medical offices near FM 78, retail strips along Seguin Road, and small industrial spaces serving the Randolph supply chain. These systems run harder and longer than residential units, often with rooftop package units and hard duct rather than flex. We bring Abatement Technologies portable HEPA units for occupied-space containment and Rotobrush contact cleaning for lined duct where debris has adhered to insulation. Every commercial job includes a written scope, a fixed price, and the same photo documentation we deliver on residential work.
Supply Duct Cleaning
Supply runs carry conditioned air to your registers. In Converse’s 1980s and 1990s rentals, these are typically 6-inch flex duct with plastic vapor barriers that become brittle after decades in hot attics. We inspect every run with a borescope before quoting replacement versus cleaning. If the flex is intact, we clean with controlled-agitation brushes and negative-pressure containment. If the liner is flaking or the vapor barrier is torn, we document it and quote Duct Repair & Sealing - Converse separately - no surprises after the truck is open.
Return Duct Cleaning
Return ducts pull air back to the air handler for reconditioning. In Converse’s high-turnover rental stock, returns are where we find the worst accumulation: compacted debris layers spanning multiple tenant cycles, sometimes with distinct color banding that shows each family’s occupancy period. This isn’t surface dust. It’s embedded in the return trunk and often packed into the air handler cabinet itself. Our crews remove and clean the blower assembly when indicated, and we always camera-verify the return path before closing.
Full System Cleaning
A full system cleaning in Converse means every supply run, every return run, the plenum, the air handler cabinet, and the blower assembly - plus the dryer vent if it’s accessible from the same service location. This is the package we recommend for any home that hasn’t had documented cleaning in five years or more, which describes most of Converse’s rental inventory. The price is flat per system, agreed in writing before we start. No per-vent add-ons.
Video Inspection
Every Converse job includes video or still photography of the duct interior before and after cleaning. For customers who want a standalone inspection - buying a home, responding to an HVAC contractor’s recommendation, or documenting condition for a landlord - we offer video inspection as a separate service. You get the footage, our written assessment, and a quote for any recommended work. No pressure to book the cleaning on the spot.

BeforeAfterTrusted Brands We Service in Converse
Our equipment roster includes Rotobrush contact-cleaning systems, Nikro HEPA vacuums, and Abatement Technologies negative-air machines - brands any customer can look up and verify. We also install Aprilaire media air cleaners and Guardsman UV systems when duct cleaning reveals a need for ongoing filtration or microbial control. For Converse customers, this means parts and accessories are available without extended shipping delays. We don’t promise same-day installation, but we don’t leave you waiting two weeks for a filter rack or UV bulb either.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Converse Homes
- Heat-degraded flex duct in 140°F attics. Original 1978-2000 flex duct in Converse’s slab-on-grade homes runs through unconditioned attic spaces where summer temperatures exceed 140°F. The liner degrades and flakes into the airstream. A quick register vacuum won’t catch it. Negative-pressure extraction with camera verification will.
- Banded debris layers in Randolph-adjacent rentals. Converse expanded rapidly as housing for Joint Base San Antonio-Randolph, and those homes cycled through military tenants with little documented HVAC maintenance. Our techs routinely pull duct runs showing distinct color bands of compacted debris - each band a different family’s occupancy period. This pattern is routine here given the Randolph PCS cycle, but almost unheard of in owner-occupied suburbs minutes away.
- Shared dryer vent stacks in apartments and condos. Multi-family buildings in Converse often route dryer vents through a common stack. Cleaning one unit’s lint pathway without negative-pressure containment at the shared run pushes lint into the neighbor’s duct. We verify stack configuration before starting and contain accordingly.
- Mountain cedar infiltration in return systems. Converse’s position in northeastern Bexar County puts it directly in the path of prevailing northerly winds carrying Ashe juniper pollen from the Hill Country each December through February. This pollen infiltrates through return grilles and coats duct interiors, compounding with microbial growth from eight-plus months of continuous AC operation in high humidity.

FAQs - Air Duct Cleaning in Converse
The military PCS cycle means tenants turnover every two to three years, often with no documented HVAC maintenance between leases. Each family’s debris - pet hair, cooking residue, smoke particulate, skin cells - compacts into a distinct layer. Our technicians can sometimes identify the era by the debris color: darker bands for smoking tenants, lighter for non-smoking, pet-hair density varying by household. This pattern is specific to Converse’s Randolph-adjacent rental stock and rare in owner-occupied suburbs nearby. Call (726) 600-7155 if you’re buying or managing a rental and want a video inspection before committing to cleaning scope.
Shared dryer vent stacks are common in Converse’s multi-family buildings, particularly older apartment complexes near FM 78 and Seguin Road. Shared duct runs are less common but occur in some townhome-style developments where a single return chase serves multiple units. We verify shared-system configuration before starting any work, and we never clean a shared run without negative-pressure containment at all connection points. If you’re a tenant or property manager, ask us to inspect the stack layout during our estimate walkthrough.
Mountain cedar pollen peaks December through February and infiltrates return systems throughout that period. Cleaning in January or February removes accumulated pollen before the spring HVAC season ramps up, but it’s also our busiest window. September through November offers cleaner scheduling and pre-season preparation. There’s no bad time - the pollen accumulates year-round, and eight months of continuous AC operation in Converse’s humidity means microbial growth doesn’t wait for cedar season to end. We don’t push seasonal urgency. We do recommend documented cleaning every three to five years for most Converse homes, sooner for rentals with high tenant turnover.
Yes. We’ve worked in Converse’s older subdivisions where street parking is limited and driveway access won’t fit a service van. Our portable Nikro HEPA vacuums and Rotobrush units break down for carry-in through gates, side yards, and apartment breezeways. We coordinate with property managers for gate codes and tenant notification. If access is genuinely impossible - a locked courtyard with no entry, for example - we’ll tell you during the estimate, not after we’ve dispatched.
Dryer vent cleaning is priced separately unless you request it as part of a full system package. In Converse’s single-family homes, we can usually add it for $85-$140 when we’re already on site with the duct cleaning equipment. For apartments with stack-shared vents, standalone dryer vent cleaning runs $140-$220 depending on stack height and access. We always inspect the vent path before quoting, and we photograph the lint load so you can see why the work is necessary. Call (726) 600-7155 to bundle services or schedule either one independently.
