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.
Guardsman HVAC Cleaning in New Braunfels: What to Know First
We provide independent Guardsman HVAC cleaning in New Braunfels for evaporator coils, blowers, condensers, air handlers, and heat exchangers. Most Guardsman jobs take two to four hours, and every one starts with a written price before we touch a panel. Our equipment roster includes Guardsman-compatible tools alongside Rotobrush, Nikro, and Abatement Technologies systems.
This page is for homeowners in New Braunfels who own a Guardsman HVAC unit and need cleaning work that won’t void their warranty or leave them guessing what was actually done. We are not affiliated with or authorized by Guardsman. We are an independent service provider who has worked on enough of these units to know where the debris collects and where the factory specs matter.

How Guardsman Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- Guardsman G-Series evaporator coils: The fin spacing on early G-Series coils is tighter than industry standard, which traps cottonwood seed and limestone dust common in New Braunfels spring air. The coil doesn’t freeze up immediately; it slowly loses capacity until the compressor runs continuously. We clean with foaming cleaner at reduced pressure, then verify fin count per inch against the spec sheet before we sign off.
- Guardsman Pro blower assemblies: The Pro line uses a direct-drive motor mounted horizontally, and the blower wheel sits low in the housing where attic insulation fibers settle. In homes near the Gruene Historic District with original flex duct, we’ve found blower wheels carrying three to five ounces of compressed debris. We remove the assembly, clean the wheel on a bench, and photograph the housing interior before reassembly.
- Guardsman Compact condenser coils: The Compact series runs high head pressure by design, so any debris layer accelerates wear on the contactor and capacitor. New Braunfels caliche dust packs into the fin valleys differently than organic debris; it doesn’t blow out with a garden hose. We use a fin comb and directional foaming agent, then check subcooling and superheat with digital gauges.
- Guardsman air handler cabinets: The cabinet seal on units installed 2015-2019 tends to sag at the bottom corner, pulling unfiltered return air past the filter rack. We document the gap with a photo, clean the plenum and downstream duct runs, and note the seal condition in the written job record for the homeowner’s future reference.
- Guardsman heat exchanger cells: In the residential furnace line, the clamshell design creates a ledge at the third pass where rust scale and combustion byproducts collect. Our camera inspection reaches this spot specifically; if we find debris that indicates deeper corrosion, we stop and show the photo before proceeding with any cleaning that could mask a crack.
Our Guardsman HVAC Cleaning Process

- 1
System shutdown and inspection photo. We photograph the unit nameplate, filter condition, and any visible debris before shutdown. This becomes the first image in your documented photo record.
- 2
Component-specific diagnostics. For Guardsman units, we check the blower amp draw against the motor data tag and note fin condition on coils. We don’t guess; we measure.
- 3
Written scope and price. Haven Standard Clause 1: we deliver a written price for the exact work before any panel comes off. No exceptions.
- 4
Cleaning with brand-appropriate methods. We select OEM-recommended cleaners or quality aftermarket equivalents based on what’s compatible with your specific Guardsman series. We document which product we used.
- 5
Post-clean testing and photo record. We run the system through a complete cycle, check temperature split and static pressure, and photograph the cleaned components. You receive the full record as a standard deliverable.
- 6
365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If the work isn’t right, we make it right. The guarantee is printed, not implied.

FAQs
No, professional cleaning by an independent service provider does not void your Guardsman warranty, provided we use manufacturer-compatible methods and do not alter factory settings. We document our process and products for your warranty file. Call (830) 549-6847 if you need a copy for your records.
We source OEM parts when available and quality aftermarket equivalents when Guardsman factory inventory is on backorder. We show you the part number and manufacturer before installation, and we note the source in your written job record. Call (830) 549-6847 to discuss parts availability for your specific model.
You receive a documented photo record of every component we cleaned, before and after, as a standard deliverable on every visit. Haven Standard Clause 1 requires written documentation; the photo record is how we satisfy it. No photo means no proof, so we don’t skip it.
We clean and assess first, then give you a written condition report with photos. If the heat exchanger shows corrosion, the coil has fin deterioration beyond 30%, or the blower motor is drawing 15% over nameplate amps, we’ll tell you and show you the evidence. The decision is yours; our job is to document what we found. Call (830) 549-6847 for an honest assessment.
Every three to five years for most New Braunfels homes, sooner if you have pets, live near construction, or run the system continuously through our long cooling season. Homes near the Comal or Guadalupe river corridors see more humidity-driven debris in blower housings. We inspect first and recommend based on what the camera shows, not a calendar.
