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 Canyon Lake, TX
HVAC cleaning in Canyon Lake typically runs $350-$650 for a whole-system service, with air quality and sanitizing work adding $200-$450 depending on whether mold, bacteria, or pollen buildup is involved. We schedule these jobs through our San Antonio office and dispatch crews to Canyon Lake properties with equipment from Rotobrush, Nikro, and Abatement Technologies. Call (830) 549-6847 for a written estimate before any work starts.
Why Canyon Lake Homes Are Different
Canyon Lake sits at the epicenter of Texas “cedar fever” country. The dense Ashe juniper covering the surrounding Hill Country releases some of the heaviest pollen loads in North America each December through February. Because many Canyon Lake properties are part-time vacation homes that sit closed during that season, ductwork accumulates thick pollen deposits that blast residents the moment they return and start the HVAC.
The local housing stock complicates this further. Most homes were built from the 1970s through the 2000s on rocky limestone lots, many with flexible duct systems installed in the 1980s and 1990s. These sit in unconditioned attics where summer temperatures exceed 130°F, causing liner degradation, sag, and disconnection that traps debris. The reservoir itself creates localized humidity along the shoreline that accelerates mold growth in homes left unoccupied with systems off. Our crews also regularly find packrat nesting material in ductwork of vacant vacation homes - the Hill Country is prime Neotoma habitat, and a disconnected duct boot is an open invitation.
Our Main Canyon Lake Services
Most Canyon Lake homeowners who call us need one of these three services:
Air Duct Cleaning in Canyon Lake
We clean the full duct network - supply and return runs, trunk lines, and registers - using negative-pressure extraction, which pulls debris out while containing it so nothing escapes into the home. In Canyon Lake, we expect to find heavy pollen loads in vacation homes and aging flexible duct that needs careful handling. Every run is photographed before and after.

Dryer Vent Cleaning in Canyon Lake
Lint accumulation in dryer vents is a fire hazard, and Canyon Lake’s mix of full-time and vacation homes means some vents go years between cleanings. We clear the full vent run from appliance to termination, check airflow with a meter, and document the before condition with photos. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Canyon Lake
Duct Repair & Sealing in Canyon Lake
Aging flexible duct in Canyon Lake attics disconnects at elbows, sags between supports, and develops leaks that waste conditioned air and pull in attic debris. We repair or replace damaged sections and seal connections with mastic, then pressure-test to verify. Duct Repair & Sealing in Canyon Lake

BeforeAfterHVAC Cleaning in Canyon Lake
HVAC cleaning in Canyon Lake addresses the accumulated pollen, mold, and debris that builds up in systems serving vacation homes and aging lake houses. The combination of cedar fever pollen, reservoir humidity, and 130°F attic temperatures creates conditions we don’t see in shaded urban settings. We provide HVAC Cleaning with documented photo records of every component cleaned.
Evaporator Coil Cleaning
Signs you need it
Ice on the coil, weak airflow from registers, or a musty smell when the AC first cycles on.
What it costs in Canyon Lake
Evaporator coil cleaning typically runs $180-$320 in Canyon Lake.
How we do it
We access the coil through the plenum - the air distribution box - apply foaming cleaner, rinse with low-pressure water, and photograph the before and after condition.
Blower Cleaning
Signs you need it
Vibration noise from the air handler, uneven airflow between rooms, or dust puffing from registers at startup.
What it costs in Canyon Lake
Blower cleaning typically runs $150-$280 in Canyon Lake.
How we do it
We remove the blower assembly, clean the wheel and housing with compressed air and solvent, balance the wheel, and reinstall with a photo record.
What HVAC Cleaning Costs in Canyon Lake
| Item | Typical range in Canyon Lake |
|---|---|
| Evaporator coil cleaning | $180-$320 |
| Blower cleaning | $150-$280 |
| Full HVAC cleaning (coil, blower, cabinet) | $350-$650 |
How do I know the HVAC cleaning was actually done?
Every component is photographed before and after, and those photos are delivered as part of the standard job record - Haven Standard Clause 2, Documented Photo Record. You see what came out, not just what we say came out.
Why does my Canyon Lake vacation home smell musty when I arrive?
Humidity from the reservoir plus a shut-off HVAC system creates ideal conditions for mold and mildew on the coil and in the ductwork. A seasonal startup cleaning prevents the blast of spores and odor on first run.
Air Quality & Sanitizing in Canyon Lake
Air quality and sanitizing in Canyon Lake targets the pollen, mold, and bacteria that thrive in this specific climate. Cedar fever pollen deposits in dormant vacation homes, reservoir humidity breeds mold in shut systems, and packrat droppings introduce bacteria and odor. We provide Air Quality & Sanitizing with the same written upfront pricing and photo documentation.
Mold Treatment
Signs you need it
Visible mold at registers, a persistent earthy smell, or respiratory symptoms that worsen when the HVAC runs.
What it costs in Canyon Lake
Mold treatment typically runs $250-$450 per system in Canyon Lake.
How we do it
We apply an EPA-registered antimicrobial to affected duct surfaces, treat the evaporator coil and plenum, and verify with post-treatment photos.
UV Light Installation
Signs you need it
Recurring mold despite cleaning, or a home that sits unoccupied for weeks at a time.
What it costs in Canyon Lake
UV light installation typically runs $300-$550 in Canyon Lake.
How we do it
We mount a UV-C lamp in the supply plenum to irradiate passing air and coil surfaces, wiring it to the blower circuit for automatic operation.
What Air Quality & Sanitizing Costs in Canyon Lake
| Item | Typical range in Canyon Lake |
|---|---|
| Mold treatment | $250-$450 |
| UV light installation | $300-$550 |
| Bacteria sanitizing (whole system) | $200-$350 |
Does sanitizing kill cedar fever pollen in my ducts?
Sanitizing targets mold and bacteria; pollen is removed through mechanical cleaning, not chemicals. We typically combine duct cleaning with sanitizing for Canyon Lake homes with heavy pollen and microbial buildup.
Is UV light worth it for a vacation home?
For homes that sit unoccupied, UV light prevents mold regrowth on the coil during shutdown periods, reducing the seasonal cleaning burden and the musty arrival-day smell.
Brands We Service in Canyon Lake
We stock parts and service equipment from Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Guardsman, with most common filters, UV lamps, and media available on the truck. Turnaround for ordered parts is typically two business days from San Antonio.
