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 Fair Oaks Ranch, TX
HVAC cleaning in Fair Oaks Ranch typically runs $380-$680 for a whole-home system, with most jobs scheduled after the mountain cedar season ends in February or following heavy AC use in October. Fair Oaks Ranch homes aren’t standard tract housing - they’re large custom Hill Country estates with multi-zone duct systems, long runs, and often detached guest houses that each need their own service. Call (726) 600-7155 for a free estimate.
Why Fair Oaks Ranch Homes Are Different
Fair Oaks Ranch sits in the heart of Ashe juniper country, where “cedar fever” season from December through February produces pollen counts among the highest recorded in North America. Heating systems run during this same window, so return-air vents actively pull ultrafine cedar pollen deep into ductwork - a two-season accumulation cycle more aggressive than in San Antonio’s eastern or southern suburbs.
The housing stock amplifies the problem. Most homes here are 3,000-6,000+ square foot custom builds from the 1990s through 2010s with multi-zone systems and long duct runs that accumulate far more debris surface area than standard homes. Many properties include detached guest houses or equestrian structures with separate HVAC systems. Homeowners routinely clear cedar brush from their acreage, releasing clouds of dust that exterior return-air grilles draw straight into the system. Our crews regularly find a distinctive fine gray-green cedar debris layer essentially unseen in neighboring communities.
Our Main Fair Oaks Ranch Services

Air Duct Cleaning in Fair Oaks Ranch

Dryer Vent Cleaning in Fair Oaks Ranch
Full vent-line cleaning from appliance to exterior termination, with airflow test before and after.

BeforeAfterHVAC Cleaning in Fair Oaks Ranch
HVAC cleaning in Fair Oaks Ranch addresses a system working harder than most - six months of heavy AC cooling from May through October deposits dust and biological matter, then cedar season immediately follows with ultrafine pollen pulled through returns during heating operation. The large custom homes here typically have multiple air handlers, extended plenum networks, and equipment often installed in attic spaces that reach extreme temperatures. HVAC Cleaning from CleanRun includes full component access, mechanical cleaning, and the Documented Photo Record of each element.
Evaporator Coil Cleaning
Signs you need it
Ice formation on refrigerant lines, reduced airflow from vents, or AC running continuously without reaching set temperature.
What it costs in Fair Oaks Ranch
Evaporator coil cleaning typically runs $180-$340 as a standalone service, or included in whole-system HVAC cleaning.
How we do it
We access the coil through the plenum - the main air distribution box - apply foaming cleaner, rinse with low-pressure water, and photograph before and after condition.
Blower Cleaning
Signs you need it
Vibration or noise from the air handler, weak airflow despite clean filters, or dust puffing from registers at startup.
What it costs in Fair Oaks Ranch
Blower assembly cleaning typically runs $140-$280, with motor inspection and amp draw check included.
How we do it
We remove the blower assembly, clean fan blades and housing with compressed air and solvent, balance the assembly, and document runout with photos.
What HVAC Cleaning Costs in Fair Oaks Ranch
| Item | Typical range in Fair Oaks Ranch |
|---|---|
| Whole-system HVAC cleaning (single zone) | $380-$680 |
| Evaporator coil cleaning | $180-$340 |
| Blower assembly cleaning | $140-$280 |
How often should HVAC cleaning happen in Fair Oaks Ranch?
Every 2-3 years for most homes here, but annually if you have cedar-covered acreage, multiple pets, or completed recent renovation work. The cedar pollen loading here is more severe than lower-elevation San Antonio suburbs. Call (726) 600-7155 and we’ll assess your specific system.
Does HVAC cleaning help with cedar fever symptoms?
It reduces recirculation of pollen and debris already in the ductwork, though it doesn’t block new pollen entering the home. We recommend scheduling in March, after peak season, when the system has accumulated maximum loading. The Documented Photo Record shows exactly what was removed.
Air Quality & Sanitizing in Fair Oaks Ranch
Air quality and sanitizing in Fair Oaks Ranch targets the biological loading that accumulates in large systems across long cooling seasons and heavy pollen periods. The semi-arid climate and cedar pollen create conditions where mold, bacteria, and residual organic matter can establish in ductwork and on coil surfaces, particularly in homes with oversized systems that short-cycle and don’t dehumidify effectively. Air Quality & Sanitizing from CleanRun uses application equipment from Abatement Technologies and Guardsman, with written scope and photo documentation of treated areas.
Mold Treatment
Signs you need it
Musty odor from vents, visible discoloration on registers or in ductwork, or recent water intrusion into the HVAC system.
What it costs in Fair Oaks Ranch
Localized mold treatment typically runs $280-$520; whole-system application runs $450-$780 depending on duct run count and access.
How we do it
We apply EPA-registered antimicrobial through the duct system using a fogging or coating application per manufacturer specification, with before-and-after photos of treated surfaces.
UV Light Installation
Signs you need it
Recurring biological growth after cleaning, persistent odors, or family members with respiratory sensitivity to airborne contaminants.
What it costs in Fair Oaks Ranch
UV-C light installation typically runs $320-$580 per unit, including mounting at the coil or in the return plenum and electrical connection.
How we do it
We mount the lamp assembly with sight glass for verification, wire to the blower circuit for automatic operation, and photograph installation position for the job record.
What Air Quality & Sanitizing Costs in Fair Oaks Ranch
| Item | Typical range in Fair Oaks Ranch |
|---|---|
| Whole-system mold treatment | $450-$780 |
| Localized mold treatment | $280-$520 |
| UV-C light installation | $320-$580 |
Is UV light worth it in Fair Oaks Ranch’s climate?
It helps if your system runs heavily through both cooling and cedar seasons and you’ve had recurring biological growth. The lamp requires annual replacement to maintain output. We install only after documenting current conditions with photos.
How do I know mold treatment was actually applied?
The Documented Photo Record shows treated surfaces before and after application, and we note product lot numbers on the written scope. Haven Standard Clause 1 requires written price before work and written record after - no exceptions.
