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.

AfterWhy New Braunfels Homeowners Choose Carrier Air Duct Cleaning
CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning New Braunfels provides independent Carrier in New Braunfels air duct cleaning service for Infinity, Performance, and Comfort systems throughout the city, with written pricing delivered before any work begins and a documented photo record of every duct run included as standard. Our crew has logged hundreds of hours inside Carrier residential air handlers, from legacy 38BR condensers to current variable-speed Infinity systems. Because we are not affiliated with or authorized by Carrier, we can flag design-side pressure and sealing issues that factory-authorized shops are incentivized to minimize. Call (830) 549-6847 for a free estimate.
Why Trust CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning New Braunfels for Your Carrier Air Duct Cleaning?
Tomas Reyes, our owner, grew up in the Bronx and learned the trade at BOCES Westchester, the vocational program that taught him to read ductwork the way a doctor reads an X-ray. He has spent well over a decade doing air duct cleaning work across New Braunfels, including older homes near the Gruene Historic District where flex duct from the late eighties tends to collect debris before anyone notices a problem. He is known for showing customers an inspection photo before quoting a single dollar.
That approach maps directly onto Carrier systems, which reward close reading. The Infinity 24ANB7’s variable-speed blower modulates in 1% increments to maintain precise airflow; when it ramps to high stage and stays there, the cause is almost always duct-side, not blower-side. We have traced this symptom to disconnected return flex at the plenum collar, collapsed fiberglass trunk lines in Veramendi attic spaces, and cedar pollen packed so densely behind the filter rack that the system reads restricted flow. Our technicians carry genuine Carrier OEM coil and blower parts when the factory component is the problem, but we are equally comfortable specifying quality aftermarket flex, mastic, and foil tape rated for the same plenum temperatures when the issue is duct-side.
Every job operates under the H.A.V.E.N. Standard. Haven Standard Clause 1 requires a written price before any work starts. Haven Standard Clause 3, Verified Crews, means background-checked, uniformed technicians identified by name before arrival. The 365-Day Done Right Promise is backed in writing on every job, not just stated in marketing copy.
Common Carrier Air Duct Cleaning Problems We Fix in New Braunfels
- Infinity variable-speed blowers masking undersized returns. The 24ANB7 and 24ANB1 compensate for high static pressure by ramping blower RPM, which keeps conditioned air moving but hides the underlying problem. Homeowners notice the noise first, then the energy bill. We measure actual static pressure across the coil and filter, then trace restriction to collapsed flex, pollen-choked filter racks, or original ductwork sized for a fixed-speed blower that never asked this much of the return path. In New Braunfels, cedar season makes this worse: fine particles pack behind the media filter and load the blower module with dust it was never designed to ingest.
- FV4C and FA4C air handlers with dust accumulation on the wet side of A-coils. Carrier’s horizontal A-coil cabinets draw air across the fins, but any upstream leakage pulls unfiltered attic air directly onto the downstream face. The coil stays wet in cooling mode; dust adheres, biasing airflow and driving static pressure over 0.9 in. w.c. on Performance and Comfort systems. We photograph this buildup before touching it, then clean with foaming cleaner and low-pressure rinse that does not deform the aluminum fins.
- Factory-gasketed coil cabinets leaking at the plenum transition. Carrier seals the cabinet at assembly, but the joint between air handler and supply plenum depends on field installation. In New Braunfels’s fast-build subdivisions like Forest Ridge and Veramendi, we find this joint taped with economy-grade foil that loosens in attic heat, pulling 130°F attic air and construction debris into the return stream. We remove the old tape, apply mastic, and seal with foil tape rated for 200°F continuous exposure.
- Comfort-series 24ABB3 / 24ABC6 units shedding fiberglass from aging duct board. These builder-grade systems paired with 10kW heat strips send lint-like fiberglass particles downstream onto the coil face and through supply registers. The material is not hazardous, but it signals duct board degradation that will worsen. We clean the coil and blower, then document the duct board condition with photos so the owner can decide whether to seal, patch, or replace the affected trunk sections.
- Infinity communicating systems losing calibration after duct disturbance. The Infinity control board learns system static over time; when a duct cleaning or repair changes the resistance profile, the blower may hunt between stages until the board relearns. We reset the airflow profile and verify communication between thermostat, control board, and variable-speed module before leaving. This is not a step every duct cleaner takes, because not every duct cleaner works on communicating systems regularly.
BeforeAfterCarrier Parts & Our Repair-vs-Replace Approach
We stock genuine Carrier OEM coil pans, blower modules, and control boards for same-day replacement when the factory component has failed. For duct-side work, we spec aftermarket flex duct, mastic, and foil tape from trade-recognized brands: Rotobrush for agitation cleaning, Nikro and Abatement Technologies for negative-pressure extraction, Honeywell and Aprilaire for media filtration upgrades, and Guardsman for coil and fin treatments. These are professional-grade tools customers can look up independently.
If a Comfort-series cabinet is rusted through at the coil pan or the ECM blower module has failed out of warranty, we tell the owner plainly: this is a replacement decision, not a cleaning decision. Haven Standard Clause 1 means the written price reflects what we would do if it were our own system. No upsell. No deferred maintenance pitched as urgent.

Our Carrier Service Process - Step by Step
- 1
Diagnosis with photo documentation. We inspect every duct run with a borescope camera, photograph the coil face, blower wheel, and plenum connections, then show the customer the images before quoting. Tomas Reyes’s rule: show the photo first, explain what you’re looking at, then talk about what happens next.
- 2
Written scope and price. Haven Standard Clause 1: the customer receives a written price listing every task, every material, and the total before any panel comes off. No per-vent pricing. One flat price per system.
- 3
Cleaning and repair with equipment documentation. We note which tools go in: Rotobrush agitation for fiberglass-lined duct board, Nikro HEPA extraction for cedar pollen loads, mastic and foil tape for plenum sealing. The customer receives this equipment list as part of the job record.
- 4
Post-service testing. On Infinity systems, we verify blower stage transitions and static pressure readings against manufacturer specifications. On all systems, we confirm temperature split across the coil and inspect for seal integrity with a smoke pencil.
- 5
Deliverable package. Every customer receives the Documented Photo Record of every duct run before and after, the written scope, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. This has been our practice since our first job in 2013.

FAQs - Carrier Air Duct Cleaning Service in New Braunfels
No. We are an independent Carrier service provider, not affiliated with or authorized by Carrier Global Corporation. This independence lets us identify duct-side issues that factory-authorized dealers may not flag, since we are not bound by manufacturer service bulletins that prioritize component replacement over duct correction.
We carry genuine Carrier OEM coil pans, blower modules, and control boards when the factory component has failed. For duct-side sealing, flex replacement, and mastic work, we spec quality aftermarket materials rated for the same plenum temperatures and static pressures. We list every part and material on the written scope before work begins.
A standard evaporator coil cleaning, return duct cleaning, and duct sealing on a Carrier split system takes three to five hours, depending on accessibility and the condition we find. Infinity systems with communicating controls add 30-45 minutes for calibration verification. We schedule honest windows and call 30 minutes before arrival.
We service Infinity 24ANB7 / 24ANB1, Performance 24ACC6 / 24ACB7 / 25HPA6, and Comfort 24ABB3 / 24ABC6 / 25HCE4 systems, plus FA4C and FV4C air handlers. If your model is not on this list, call (830) 549-6847 and we will confirm compatibility.
No. Warranty coverage applies to factory defects in materials and workmanship; independent maintenance and cleaning do not void it, provided the work does not damage components. We document our methods and materials in writing, and we use manufacturer-compatible procedures for coil cleaning and blower access. If a component fails during our service, the 365-Day Done Right Promise covers our correction.
Whole-system Air Duct Cleaning services in New Braunfels typically range from $450 to $850 for a single system, depending on home size, duct accessibility, and whether evaporator coil cleaning or duct sealing is included. Infinity systems with communicating controls may run toward the higher end due to calibration steps. We deliver one flat price per system in writing before work starts, with no per-vent add-ons. Call (830) 549-6847 for an exact quote; estimates are free.
The Infinity control board learns system static pressure over time; when duct cleaning changes the resistance profile, the blower may hunt between stages until the board relearns the new normal. A technician who does not reset the airflow profile leaves the system confused. We recalibrate the blower map and verify stage transitions before leaving the job.
Not when done correctly. The FV4C’s horizontal A-coil is accessible through the blower compartment; we do not remove refrigerant lines or disturb the coil mounting. Cleaning is performed with foaming cleaner and low-pressure rinse, with a drain pan overflow safeguard. We photograph the coil before and after so the customer can verify no fin deformation occurred.
Yes, that is the typical symptom. The 24ABB3 paired with 10kW heat strips accelerates fiberglass breakdown in duct board trunk lines, especially in New Braunfels’s high-cycling climate where systems run hard against summer heat and river-corridor humidity. The material is not hazardous, but the erosion will worsen. We clean the coil and blower, photograph the duct board condition, and quote sealing or replacement options without pressure.
Yes. The 25HPA6’s coil cabinet is designed for slide-out access on many configurations; where it is not, we clean in place through the blower compartment with foaming cleaner and controlled rinse, protecting the blower motor and electrical components. We do not disturb refrigerant lines or seals.
Infinity and some Performance systems use a serial communication protocol between thermostat, control board, and variable-speed blower; disturbing wiring or grounding during ductwork can corrupt the data stream. Our technicians verify communication integrity with the system diagnostic tool after any panel removal, and we reset the airflow learning table when static pressure has changed significantly. This is standard on every communicating system we touch.
