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 Alamo Heights, TX
HVAC cleaning in Alamo Heights typically runs $340-$580 for a whole-system job, with air quality and sanitizing services adding $180-$420 depending on scope. Most Alamo Heights homes were built between the 1920s and 1950s with retrofitted ductwork forced through attic spaces never designed for it, making professional cleaning essential for both airflow and indoor air quality. Call (830) 549-6847 for a written estimate before any work begins.
CleanRun crews coordinate dispatch from our San Antonio office and serve Alamo Heights locally. We carry Rotobrush and Nikro equipment through these older neighborhoods, where flex duct routed around original beams and separated liner joints are common findings.
Why Alamo Heights Homes Are Different
Alamo Heights sits in the direct path of San Antonio’s Mountain Cedar pollen corridor, with Ashe juniper releasing ultra-fine particles from December through February that infiltrate duct systems and recirculate for months. The city’s housing stock - Spanish Colonial Revival, Tudor Revival, and Craftsman bungalows built largely before 1960 - was never designed for central air conditioning. HVAC retrofitters decades later threaded flex duct through tight attic cavities and wall chases, creating convoluted runs with aging mastic connections that degrade in six-plus months of 95-105°F heat.
On streets near the Country Club and in Sunset Hills, we regularly find flex connections partially separated at inner liner joints, drawing unconditioned attic air loaded with blown-in insulation fibers and Cedar pollen directly into living spaces. These systems often run for years before homeowners notice the problem. The combination of original galvanized metal sections, irregular multi-joint flex runs, and caliche limestone dust pulled through at high volume makes Alamo Heights ductwork distinct from newer suburban construction.
Our Main Alamo Heights Services
Three services have dedicated Alamo Heights pages with full pricing and scope details.
Air Duct Cleaning in Alamo Heights
We clean the full duct network in Alamo Heights homes, including supply and return runs, registers, and the plenum - the central distribution box where conditioned air divides. Our crews photograph every run before and after, documenting the debris load common in these pre-1960 systems. Jobs typically address decades of accumulated dust, pollen, and disturbed insulation from past renovations. Air Duct Cleaning in Alamo Heights
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Alamo Heights
Dryer vent blockages in Alamo Heights often involve longer exterior runs through thick masonry walls typical of 1930s-1950s construction, with lint accumulation compounded by the extended drying cycles needed in humid summer months. We clear the full run from appliance to termination and verify airflow with a manometer. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Alamo Heights
Duct Repair & Sealing in Alamo Heights
Separated flex liner joints and degraded mastic are routine findings in Alamo Heights attics, particularly where original structural beams forced installers into tight routing angles. We reseal connections with fresh mastic and metal-backed tape, or replace damaged flex sections, then pressure-test to verify. Duct Repair & Sealing in Alamo Heights

BeforeAfterHVAC Cleaning in Alamo Heights
HVAC cleaning in Alamo Heights addresses the unique burden placed on systems by retrofitted ductwork and near-continuous cooling demand from May through October. The evaporator coils, blowers, and condensers in these homes work harder than originally specified, collecting caliche dust and mold spores that standard maintenance misses. HVAC Cleaning through CleanRun includes full photographic documentation of each component before and after service.
Evaporator Coil Cleaning
Signs you need it
Ice buildup on refrigerant lines, weak airflow from registers, or cooling that cannot keep pace with thermostat demand during Alamo Heights August afternoons.
What it costs in Alamo Heights
Evaporator coil cleaning in Alamo Heights typically ranges $180-$320, with access difficulty in tight attic spaces pushing toward the higher end.
How we do it
We remove the coil assembly where accessible, apply foaming cleaner approved for aluminum fins, rinse with low-pressure water, and photograph the full surface before reassembly.
Blower Cleaning
Signs you need it
Vibration or noise from the air handler, uneven airflow between rooms, or dust puffing from registers when the system cycles on.
What it costs in Alamo Heights
Blower motor and wheel cleaning in Alamo Heights generally runs $140-$260 depending on whether the assembly requires full removal.
How we do it
We disconnect power, extract the blower assembly, clean the wheel blades and housing with compressed air and solvent, balance the wheel, and reinstall with fresh hardware.
What HVAC Cleaning Costs in Alamo Heights
| Item | Typical range in Alamo Heights |
|---|---|
| Evaporator coil cleaning | $180-$320 |
| Blower cleaning | $140-$260 |
| Condenser cleaning | $120-$220 |
How do I know my HVAC components are actually dirty?
We photograph every component before touching it, so you see the debris load yourself before approving any work. The photo record is included as a standard deliverable on every job, not available by request.
Can HVAC cleaning fix weak cooling in my older Alamo Heights home?
Cleaning restores designed airflow and heat exchange efficiency, but cannot overcome undersized ductwork or refrigerant leaks; we flag those issues in writing if found. Call (830) 549-6847 for an exact quote - estimates are free.
Air Quality & Sanitizing in Alamo Heights
Air quality and sanitizing in Alamo Heights targets the microscopic Mountain Cedar pollen and mold spores that standard filtration fails to capture in these older, less-sealed duct systems. December through February pollen events deposit particles that recirculate for months, while summer humidity breeds microbial growth on coil surfaces and in standing condensate. Air Quality & Sanitizing through CleanRun applies EPA-registered treatments with documented application records.
Mold Treatment
Signs you need it
Musty odor when the system runs, visible growth on registers or in the plenum, or family members with worsening respiratory symptoms during humid months.
What it costs in Alamo Heights
Mold treatment for duct systems in Alamo Heights typically ranges $280-$480 for whole-system application, with severity and accessibility as variables.
How we do it
We apply an EPA-registered antimicrobial fog through the full duct network under negative pressure, then verify treatment coverage with photo documentation of key junctions.
UV Light Installation
Signs you need it
Recurring microbial growth despite cleaning, persistent odors, or desire for continuous surface sanitizing at the coil and drain pan.
What it costs in Alamo Heights
UV-C light installation in Alamo Heights generally runs $340-$580 including the lamp assembly and electrical connection to the air handler.
How we do it
We mount a Honeywell or Aprilaire UV-C lamp assembly at the coil location, wire to the blower circuit for automatic operation, and verify irradiance with a meter.
What Air Quality & Sanitizing Costs in Alamo Heights
| Item | Typical range in Alamo Heights |
|---|---|
| Mold treatment | $280-$480 |
| UV light installation | $340-$580 |
| Bacteria sanitizing | $180-$340 |
Does sanitizing actually reduce Cedar pollen in my ducts?
Sanitizing treats biological growth and neutralizes organic debris; for pollen reduction we pair it with thorough duct cleaning and recommend upgraded filtration sized to your system. Call (830) 549-6847 for an exact quote - estimates are free.
Are the chemicals safe for my family and pets?
We use only EPA-registered products applied at manufacturer-specified concentrations, with re-entry times documented in writing; the treatment record includes product SDS numbers for your reference.
