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 Windcrest, TX
HVAC cleaning in Windcrest typically runs $340-$580 for a complete system, and every job starts with a written price before we touch a single panel. We’re CleanRun Duct Repair & Cleaning, and our crews work the Windcrest market from our San Antonio office, handling the specific challenges of mid-century slab ranch homes with original fiberglass duct board that’s been thermally cycling in unconditioned attics for 50 to 70 years. Call (726) 600-7155 for a free estimate.
Why Windcrest Homes Are Different
Windcrest is a fully incorporated enclave city surrounded entirely by San Antonio, developed as a planned residential community from the 1950s through the 1970s. That concentrated build period created a housing stock of mid-century ranch-style homes on slab foundations with original fiberglass duct board or early flex duct systems still in place.
In July and August, attic-run ducts in these homes regularly exceed 150°F. Decades of that thermal stress have degraded many fiberglass liners to the point of flaking, meaning our technicians regularly document friable liner conditions that homeowners didn’t know existed. The greater San Antonio area also ranks among the worst regions nationally for mountain cedar (Ashe juniper) pollen, with heavy release events from December through February driving allergen loads into return systems even during cooler months. Summer cooling runs nearly continuously from May through October in this inland, heat-island-adjacent location, accelerating biological debris accumulation.
Our Main Windcrest Services
Most Windcrest homeowners who call us need one of these three services, each with its own dedicated Windcrest page.
Air Duct Cleaning in Windcrest
We clean the full supply and return network in Windcrest’s aging slab ranch homes, where original fiberglass duct board often sheds particles directly into the airstream. Every run is photographed before and after, with the photo record delivered as part of the standard job documentation. Air Duct Cleaning in Windcrest covers our full process for this market.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Windcrest
Dryer vent blockages are a fire risk in any home, but Windcrest’s mature tree canopy and original vent routing through slab foundations create specific lint accumulation patterns we document on every visit. We run the full line and photograph the before and after condition. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Windcrest has the details.
Duct Repair & Sealing in Windcrest
When thermal cycling has degraded original duct board beyond cleaning, we repair or replace sections and seal the full system. Windcrest’s 50-to-70-year-old infrastructure makes this a frequent finding on our initial camera inspection. Duct Repair & Sealing in Windcrest explains our repair scope.

BeforeAfterHVAC Cleaning in Windcrest
HVAC cleaning in Windcrest addresses equipment that’s been pulling air through degraded original ductwork since the Johnson administration. The mountain cedar pollen loads and near-continuous summer cooling season mean coils, blowers, and air handlers accumulate biological debris and particulates faster than in newer surrounding subdivisions. Our HVAC Cleaning service covers the full system with documented photo records on every component.
Evaporator Coil Cleaning
Signs you need it
Ice buildup on the coil, weak airflow from registers, or cooling that can’t keep up with August afternoons in Windcrest’s heat-island-adjacent climate.
What it costs in Windcrest
Evaporator coil cleaning typically runs $180-$340 in Windcrest.
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 the before and after condition for the job record.
Blower Cleaning
Signs you need it
Vibration noise, uneven airflow room to room, or dust streaking from registers in homes with original duct board shedding particles.
What it costs in Windcrest
Blower cleaning typically runs $140-$260 in Windcrest.
How we do it
We remove the blower assembly from the air handler, clean the wheel and housing with compressed air and solvent, balance the assembly, and document with before and after photos.
What HVAC Cleaning Costs in Windcrest
| Item | Typical range in Windcrest |
|---|---|
| Evaporator coil cleaning | $180-$340 |
| Blower cleaning | $140-$260 |
| Complete HVAC system cleaning | $340-$580 |
How do I know my HVAC system needs cleaning versus just the ducts?
If cooling drops off in August, ice forms on the coil, or the blower makes vibration noise, the equipment itself needs attention. Duct-only cleaning won’t fix those symptoms. Call (726) 600-7155 and we’ll inspect both the duct network and the mechanical components to pinpoint what’s actually wrong.
Will cleaning my HVAC equipment help with mountain cedar allergies?
Yes, by removing the pollen and biological debris that accumulates on coils and blowers and recirculates through the home. In Windcrest’s climate, we find significant buildup even on systems with new filters. The photo record shows exactly what was removed.
Air Quality & Sanitizing in Windcrest
Air quality and sanitizing in Windcrest targets the specific problems created by 50-to-70-year-old ductwork in a high-pollen, high-heat climate. Original fiberglass duct board that has become friable sheds particles into the airstream, and the near-continuous cooling season from May through October creates persistent moisture conditions that support microbial growth in aging systems. Our Air Quality & Sanitizing service addresses these conditions with documented results.
Mold Treatment
Signs you need it
Musty odor when the system cycles, visible discoloration at registers, or allergy symptoms that worsen when the AC runs in Windcrest’s humid summer months.
What it costs in Windcrest
Mold treatment typically runs $280-$520 in Windcrest.
How we do it
We apply an EPA-registered antimicrobial to affected duct runs and the plenum, then run negative-pressure extraction (suction that pulls contaminants out of the system) to remove dead spores and debris, with before and after photos of every treated surface.
UV Light Installation
Signs you need it
Recurring microbial growth after cleaning, or persistent odor in a home with original duct board that traps moisture in its porous surface.
What it costs in Windcrest
UV light installation typically runs $320-$580 in Windcrest.
How we do it
We mount a UV-C lamp in the supply plenum where it irradiates the coil and nearby duct surfaces continuously, wiring it to the blower circuit so it operates only when the system runs.
What Air Quality & Sanitizing Costs in Windcrest
| Item | Typical range in Windcrest |
|---|---|
| Mold treatment | $280-$520 |
| UV light installation | $320-$580 |
| Complete air quality package | $450-$780 |
Is UV light worth it in an older Windcrest home?
Yes, because original fiberglass duct board has a porous surface that traps moisture and supports recurring microbial growth even after cleaning. UV-C light continuously suppresses that regrowth at the coil and plenum, where condensation concentrates. Call (726) 600-7155 for a written price on your specific system.
Can you treat mold without replacing original duct board?
Often yes, if the liner is intact but contaminated. We apply antimicrobial and extract the residue, then document the condition with photos. If the board is friable and shedding particles, we’ll show you that in the photo record and discuss repair options under our Free Second Opinion policy.

- Lucia M."My allergies genuinely improved. They also told me the ducts did not need sealing, which I had been quoted for elsewhere."
- Petra K."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."
