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
Full-system HVAC cleaning in Selma typically runs $380-$620 for a standard single-system home, with air quality and sanitizing treatments adding $180-$340 depending on scope. Most Selma homes we see are 15-25 years old with original flex ductwork that has never been professionally cleaned, meaning first-time cleanings often pull significant construction debris and accumulated allergen loads. Call (726) 600-7155 and we’ll put a written price in front of you before any panel comes off.
Why Selma Homes Are Different
Selma incorporated in 1991 and filled rapidly through the late 1990s and 2000s along the IH-35/Loop 1604 corridor. Nearly every house in town is a production-built tract home from that era, now hitting the 15-25 year mark where original flex ductwork first sags, separates at joints, and accumulates enough debris to measurably degrade indoor air quality.
The San Antonio metro ranks among the worst U.S. cities for allergies. Mountain cedar pollinates heavily December through February, oak surges in spring, and the 9-10 month cooling season means Selma ducts cycle air almost year-round. That concentrates pollen and dust faster than in climates with real winter shutdowns.
Many homes near the IH-35/Loop 1604 interchange have flex duct stapled rather than clamped at boot connections, a production-builder shortcut. We regularly find partially disconnected runs dumping conditioned air into attic space. Homeowners call thinking they need a cleaning; the camera shows a separation that no amount of vacuuming will fix.
Our Main Selma Services
These are the three services Selma homeowners call about most. Each has its own dedicated page with deeper detail on local conditions and pricing.
Air Duct Cleaning in Selma
We clean the full duct network, registers, and return plenum (the main collection box) using negative-pressure extraction with Rotobrush and Nikro equipment. In Selma, first-time cleanings on 20-year-old systems often reveal construction-phase drywall dust and insulation fragments still lodged at elbows and transitions. Every run is photographed before and after. Air Duct Cleaning in Selma
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Selma
Dryer vent blockages are a leading cause of house fires. We remove lint buildup from the appliance connection through the exterior termination, measuring airflow before and after. Selma’s hard water and heavy dryer use in large households accelerate lint compaction in longer vent runs. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Selma
Duct Repair & Sealing in Selma
When camera inspection reveals separated boots, sagging flex, or leaks at plenum connections, we repair or replace the affected sections and seal with mastic or metal-backed tape. This is often the real fix for Selma homes where “poor airflow” was misdiagnosed as dirty ducts. Duct Repair & Sealing in Selma

BeforeAfterHVAC Cleaning in Selma
Selma’s 15-25 year old production homes have HVAC systems that ran through construction dust and have cycled Texas heat and allergens for two decades without internal cleaning. The evaporator coil, blower assembly, and air handler accumulate debris that restricts airflow, raises energy bills, and recirculates particulates even after ducts are cleaned. We treat the full mechanical system, not just the distribution network, and document every component photographically. HVAC Cleaning
Evaporator Coil Cleaning
Signs you need it
Ice buildup on refrigerant lines, weak airflow from registers, or cooling that cannot keep up with Selma’s 100°F summer afternoons.
What it costs in Selma
Evaporator coil cleaning typically runs $180-$280.
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
Vibration or noise from the air handler, uneven airflow room to room, or a motor working harder than spec due to blade imbalance from dust accumulation.
What it costs in Selma
Blower assembly cleaning typically runs $140-$220.
How we do it
We remove the blower housing, clean each blade and the motor housing, balance the assembly, and reinstall with torque to manufacturer spec.
What HVAC Cleaning Costs in Selma
| Item | Typical range in Selma |
|---|---|
| Evaporator coil cleaning | $180-$280 |
| Blower assembly cleaning | $140-$220 |
| Full HVAC system cleaning (coil + blower + air handler) | $380-$620 |
How do I know my HVAC system needs cleaning, not just my ducts?
If your ducts are clean but rooms still heat unevenly or the system runs longer than it used to, the mechanical components are likely restricted. We inspect the coil, blower, and air handler with the same camera we use for ductwork and show you what we find before quoting.
Can HVAC cleaning lower my summer electric bill in Selma?
Yes, a clean coil and blower move air more efficiently, which can reduce runtime during our 9-10 month cooling season. We measure static pressure before and after so you have a documented baseline.
Air Quality & Sanitizing in Selma
Selma’s year-round cooling and severe allergy burden mean ducts that test clean of debris can still harbor mold spores, bacteria, and odors that standard mechanical cleaning does not address. We apply EPA-registered treatments and install physical air purification equipment for homeowners who need more than dust removal. Air Quality & Sanitizing
Mold Treatment
Signs you need it
Musty odor when the system cycles, visible growth at registers, or family members with worsening respiratory symptoms in climate-controlled spaces.
What it costs in Selma
Whole-system mold treatment typically runs $280-$450.
How we do it
We apply an EPA-registered antimicrobial fog throughout the duct network, treat the evaporator coil and plenum, and deliver before-and-after photo documentation.
UV Light Installation
Signs you need it
Recurring microbial growth after cleaning, high humidity in the air handler, or households with allergy-sensitive occupants in Selma’s extended pollen seasons.
What it costs in Selma
UV-C lamp installation typically runs $340-$520 per lamp, including electrical connection.
How we do it
We mount a UV-C lamp in the supply plenum near the coil, wire to the blower circuit for automatic operation, and verify irradiance with a meter.
What Air Quality & Sanitizing Costs in Selma
| Item | Typical range in Selma |
|---|---|
| Whole-system mold treatment | $280-$450 |
| UV-C lamp installation | $340-$520 |
| Bacteria sanitizing (whole system) | $180-$280 |
Is mold treatment safe for pets and kids?
We use EPA-registered products applied with the system off and home ventilated; occupants re-enter once dry, typically 2-4 hours. The treatment leaves no residual airborne chemical.
How long does a UV light last?
Lamps typically maintain effective output for 9,000-12,000 hours, or roughly 12-18 months in Selma’s near-continuous cooling climate. We note installation date and follow up at replacement interval.
Brands We Service in Selma
We stock parts and service equipment from Aprilaire, Honeywell, Abatement Technologies, and Guardsman, with most common filters, UV lamps, and media available same-day. Dispatch is coordinated from our San Antonio office; crews carry Selma-typical inventory on every truck. our brands

- Suzanne B."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."
