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.

AfterHoneywell Air Quality & Sanitizing in New Braunfels: What to Know First
We provide independent Honeywell air quality and sanitizing service in New Braunfels, with most scheduled jobs completed in a single visit and a written price delivered before any work begins. Typical whole-system sanitizing with Honeywell-compatible UV or air purifier integration runs $340-$680 for most New Braunfels homes, depending on duct configuration and whether mold treatment or odor remediation is needed. This page is for homeowners who already own a Honeywell air cleaner, UV system, or whole-home purifier and need service, installation, or honest guidance on whether repair or replacement makes sense. Call (830) 549-6847 for a free estimate with no obligation.
Tomas Reyes, our owner, learned to read ductwork at BOCES Westchester and has spent over a decade working in New Braunfels homes, including the older flex-duct systems near Gruene where debris accumulates silently until a Honeywell unit starts working overtime. His rule: show the photo first, explain what you’re looking at, then talk about what happens next.
How Honeywell Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- F100 and F200 Media Air Cleaners: The pleated media cabinet in these whole-house units traps fine particles, but in New Braunfels the high pollen load from live oak and cedar can saturate a filter in 60 days instead of 90. When airflow drops, the pressure differential strains the HVAC blower. We photograph the media loading, replace with OEM or Guardsman-compatible media, and check the cabinet seal - a gap as small as 1/8 inch bypasses filtration entirely.
- UV100A Ultraviolet Systems: The 16-inch lamp in this popular series degrades to roughly 60% output after 9,000 hours, though many homeowners never notice because the blue glow remains visible. We measure actual UVC output with a radiometer; if it’s below 40 µW/cm² at one meter, the lamp is sanitizing nothing. We stock replacement lamps and install with the correct orientation - the lamp clip on the UV100A is keyed and forcing it destroys the socket.
- TrueCLEAN Electronic Air Cleaners (FH8000A): The ionizing wires in this series corrode faster in New Braunfels homes with hard water from the Edwards Aquifer, because mineral scale on the prefilter accelerates oxidation. The control board often throws a “clean cell” alert when the real problem is wire erosion. We test ionization current; if it’s below 2 kV, wire replacement beats repeated cell washing.
- DR90 and DR120 Whole-Home Dehumidifiers: These units integrate with ductwork and fail quietly - the compressor runs but capacity drops when the evaporator fins clog with dust that bypassed the upstream filter. We pull the blower assembly, document fin condition with photos, and treat with foaming cleaner. If the refrigerant charge is low (common in units installed before 2018), we flag it rather than mask it with a band-aid cleaning.
- Air Genius 5 and 6 (Portable Units, Whole-Home Adapters): The ifD filter in these oscillating units develops a conductive film in humid months that the self-clean cycle cannot remove. Homeowners in river-adjacent New Braunfels neighborhoods like River Chase see this more often. We remove and manually clean the ifD cells with a specific surfactant process, then verify conductivity with a meter - not guesswork.
Our Honeywell Air Quality & Sanitizing Process
- 1
Inspection with documented photo record. We camera every duct run and photograph the Honeywell unit’s condition, model plate, and any installation defects. You see what we see before we quote.
- 2
Written scope and price. Haven Standard Clause 1: one flat price per system, delivered in writing, with no per-vent add-ons or surprise line items. You approve before a panel comes off.
- 3
Component-level diagnosis. We test UVC output, ionization voltage, airflow differential, or refrigerant pressures - whichever applies to your Honeywell series. OEM parts are specified; quality aftermarket alternatives are noted with trade-offs explained.
- 4
Service execution with negative-pressure containment. For sanitizing jobs, we seal registers and extract under negative pressure so biocide or ozone does not migrate to living space. The Honeywell unit is removed or protected per manufacturer clearance specs.
- 5
Post-service verification and photo record delivery. We re-test the repaired or installed component, photograph the completed work, and deliver the full record to you. The 365-Day Done Right Promise is documented in writing.

Every crew is background-checked and uniformed under Haven Standard Clause 3: Verified Crews. The 365-Day Done Right Promise is written on every invoice, not buried in a website footer. Since 2013, we have served over 52,000 homes with a documented photo record on every visit - no exceptions.
FAQs
No, if the work is performed by a qualified technician using manufacturer-specified components. We document the install with photos and part numbers, and we do not modify control boards or bypass safety interlocks. For units still under factory warranty, we note the service in writing so your coverage record is clean. Call (830) 549-6847 if you need help verifying your warranty status.
The visible blue glow means almost nothing; UVC output degrades long before the lamp goes dark. We measure with a radiometer during inspection. If output is below 40 µW/cm², the lamp is not sanitizing. Replacement is straightforward and we stock lamps for the UV100A series. Call for a quick output check.
Repair makes sense if the cabinet is sound and the control board functions; replacement is honest when the cabinet is rusted, the board is obsolete, or repair parts exceed 60% of replacement cost. We show you the condition photos and write both numbers, repair and replace, so you decide from evidence. Estimates are free.
We stock both and explain the difference before you choose. OEM lamps and media carry the Honeywell name and full factory spec; quality aftermarket from Guardsman and Abatement Technologies meets the same output ratings at lower cost. We do not install unbranded generics. The part source is noted on your written invoice.
Most residential jobs are completed in 2-4 hours, including inspection, service, and post-work verification. Larger homes in New Braunfels with multiple zones or hard-to-access attic ducts may run longer. We give you a time estimate in writing with the price, not a vague window. Call (830) 549-6847 to schedule.
