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.
Nikro HVAC Cleaning in New Braunfels: What to Know First
We provide independent Nikro HVAC cleaning in New Braunfels, with most evaporator coil, blower, and condenser jobs completed in a single scheduled visit and a written price delivered before any panel comes off. Our typical Nikro HVAC cleaning runs $280-$520 for a complete system service, depending on access and whether the air handler requires full disassembly. This page is for Nikro equipment owners in New Braunfels who want their system cleaned without voiding warranty coverage or accepting a verbal estimate that shifts once the truck arrives. Call (830) 549-6847 for a written quote.
How Nikro Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- Nikro SL2000 Series: Blower wheel imbalance from debris caking. The SL2000’s forward-curved blower wheel sits close to the housing wall, and in New Braunfels, the combination of caliche dust from Hill Country construction and standard pollen loads packs onto the blade roots. We remove the wheel assembly, clean it on a bench with controlled solvent (never high-pressure water that warps the aluminum), rebalance on a mandrel, and photograph the runout before reinstalling.
- Nikro Flex-Liner systems: Collapsed flex duct behind the evaporator plenum. Common in 2016-2020 builds in the Veramendi and River Chase subdivisions, where Nikro Flex-Liner was spec’d for cost efficiency. The liner detaches at the plenum tape seam, creating a debris trap that the homeowner mistakes for a dirty coil. We scope the plenum junction, reattach with UL-181 tape and mechanical fasteners, then clean the coil only if the camera shows it actually needs it.
- Nikro HV2000 Heat Exchanger: Secondary corrosion from condensate mis-drainage. The HV2000’s clamshell design pools condensate at the lower header if the drain pitch is off by even a quarter-inch, common in slab-on-grade New Braunfels homes where settling occurs. We clean the exchanger with non-acidic foaming cleaner (acid voids the 20-year heat exchanger warranty), verify drain slope with a level, and document the pitch angle in the job record.
- Nikro EC Motor Modules: Stator contamination in variable-speed units. The ECM stator on Nikro’s premium lines is sealed but not hermetic; attic dust in New Braunfels, where summer attic temps hit 140°F, degrades the potting compound over time. We clean with dielectric-safe solvent, never compressed air that drives debris deeper, and test Hall sensor output before buttoning up.
- Nikro Condenser Coils: Fins flattened by hail, then clogged with cottonwood seed. The Gruene and Old Town areas have mature cottonwood stands; seed clusters pack into hail-damaged Nikro condensers and create a mat that standard rinsing won’t touch. We use a fin comb set specific to Nikro’s 18 fins-per-inch density, then apply low-pressure foaming cleaner from the inside out, with before and after photos of airflow measured at the fan discharge.
Our Nikro HVAC Cleaning Process

- 1
Systematic inspection with photo documentation. We start every Nikro job with a camera scope of the evaporator, blower, and heat exchanger. Tomas Reyes trained at BOCES Westchester to read ductwork like an X-ray, and that applies to Nikro’s plenum geometry too. The customer sees the photo before we quote a dollar.
- 2
Written scope and price, Haven Standard Clause 1. The scope specifies OEM versus quality aftermarket parts for any component replacement, with the trade-off explained in plain language. No work begins until the customer has the written price in hand.
- 3
Controlled disassembly and zone isolation. We bag registers, seal the return, and set negative-pressure extraction so debris isn’t pushed into living space during cleaning. Nikro’s cabinet seals are checked for integrity; a leaky access panel defeats the whole operation.
- 4
Component-specific cleaning per manufacturer tolerances. Evaporator coils get foaming cleaner with proper dwell time; blowers get bench service; condensers get fin-by-fin attention. We note the Nikro model and serial in the job record for warranty traceability.
- 5
Reassembly, operational test, and photo record delivery. We run the system through a complete cycle, measure temperature split and static pressure, and deliver before-and-after photos of every cleaned component as part of the standard job record. The 365-Day Done Right Promise is documented in writing.

Why New Braunfels Homeowners Call CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning New Braunfels for Nikro Work

We’re an independent Nikro service provider, not a factory-authorized dealer, which means we work for the homeowner’s interest, not a manufacturer’s quota. The 365-Day Done Right Promise is backed in writing on every job, not buried in a policy manual. Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed under Haven Standard Clause 3: Verified Crews, and they arrive with a documented equipment roster including Nikro-compatible tools from Rotobrush, Abatement Technologies, and Guardsman.
When a Nikro part is obsolete or backordered, we also service Lennox, Trane, and Carrier systems, so we’re not learning your layout in real time while your house sits without cooling. Since 2013, we’ve documented every job with before-and-after photos of every duct run and HVAC component. That’s 52,000+ homes, every one with a written price before work started.
Tomas Reyes still crawls attics in New Braunfels, including those older homes near the Gruene Historic District where flex duct from the late eighties hides problems until the camera finds them. His rule hasn’t changed: show the photo first, explain what you’re looking at, then talk about what happens next.
FAQs
No, if the work is performed to manufacturer tolerances and documented properly. The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act prohibits voiding coverage solely because an independent technician performed maintenance. We record the Nikro model, serial, and all cleaning agents used, so warranty claims remain traceable. For questions about your specific warranty status, call (830) 549-6847 and we’ll review your documentation.
It depends on the component and your timeline. For evaporator coils and heat exchangers, we typically recommend OEM to preserve warranty coverage. For blower wheels and contactors, quality aftermarket from Guardsman or Honeywell meets OEM spec at lower cost, and we explain the trade-off in writing before you decide. Haven Standard Clause 1 requires that we name both options with prices, not default to the most profitable one.
You receive a Documented Photo Record of every cleaned component as a standard deliverable, not an upsell. The photo shows the evaporator, blower, and condenser before and after, with timestamps. If the work isn’t visible, it wasn’t documented, and if it wasn’t documented, the 365-Day Done Right Promise applies. Call (830) 549-6847 if you want to see sample documentation before booking.
Every three to five years for most homes, sooner if you have pets, recent construction, or live near Cottonwood Road or the Guadalupe River corridor where airborne debris loads are higher. We scope first and quote based on what the camera shows, not a calendar. The $79 coupon shops will tell you annually; our photo evidence usually says otherwise.
Clean it first, then decide. A 2012 Nikro with a sound heat exchanger and intact coil often has years of service left; we’ve documented many in New Braunfels running efficiently after proper cleaning. We scope the heat exchanger for cracks, measure static pressure, and give you the data. If replacement makes more sense, we’ll say so in writing and provide a Free Second Opinion on any replacement quote you’ve received. Call (830) 549-6847 to schedule the inspection.
