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 Windcrest, TX
Complete HVAC cleaning and air quality services in Windcrest typically run $350-$850 for whole-system work, with most jobs scheduled within a week and completed in a single day. Windcrest’s uniform stock of 1960s-1970s ranch homes means duct systems here fail in predictable patterns - fiberglass duct board shedding liner material, flex duct boots separating from plenum connections after decades of thermal cycling in attics that reach 130-140°F. Our crews photograph every duct run before and after, deliver a written price before any work starts, and back every job with the 365-Day Done Right Promise. Call (830) 549-6847 for a free estimate.
Why Windcrest Homes Are Different
Windcrest is a planned community built almost entirely between the late 1950s and mid-1970s, covering roughly one square mile. Every residence here shares the same aging ductwork vintage, a concentration rarely found in larger markets where housing ages vary block by block.
The original fiberglass duct board and early-generation flex duct in these ranch homes was never designed to survive 40-50 years of South Texas attic heat. Technicians working Windcrest find the same failure mode on nearly every street: interior liner material shedding into the airstream, and flex duct boots pulling away from plenum connections after thousands of thermal expansion cycles. The San Antonio metro’s “cedar fever” season from December through February adds heavy biological particulate loads during months when systems still run regularly, while the long cooling season from May through October means year-round accumulation with almost no off-season rest.
Our Main Windcrest Services
Most Windcrest homeowners contact us for these three services, each with its own dedicated page.
Air Duct Cleaning in Windcrest
We clean the full duct network - supply and return runs, trunk lines, and registers - using negative-pressure extraction with Rotobrush and Nikro equipment. In Windcrest, this means addressing debris buildup in aging fiberglass duct board where interior surfaces have begun to deteriorate, and documenting the condition of every run with before-and-after photos.

Dryer Vent Cleaning in Windcrest
Dryer vent blockages are common in these single-story ranch homes where original vent routing often exceeds recommended run lengths through hot attics. We clear lint accumulation with professional augers and airflow meters, verifying restored exhaust flow before leaving. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Windcrest

BeforeAfterHVAC Cleaning in Windcrest
Windcrest’s 1960s-1970s HVAC systems - original or once-replaced - accumulate debris in components that directly affect cooling performance during the long South Texas summer. Evaporator coils foul with biological growth fed by cedar fever pollen and attic humidity; blower wheels load with dust that bypasses aging filters; condensers struggle against coil grime in months of continuous operation. Our HVAC Cleaning service addresses each component with documented methods and equipment from Abatement Technologies and Honeywell.
Evaporator Coil Cleaning
Signs you need it
Ice formation on refrigerant lines, weak airflow from registers, or cooling that cannot keep up after noon in July.
What it costs in Windcrest
Evaporator coil cleaning in Windcrest typically runs $180-$320.
How we do it
We access the coil through the plenum, apply foaming cleaner formulated for aluminum fins, rinse with low-pressure water, and photograph the coil surface before and after.
Blower Cleaning
Signs you need it
Vibration or noise from the air handler, uneven airflow room to room, or dust streaking from supply registers.
What it costs in Windcrest
Blower motor and wheel cleaning in Windcrest typically runs $150-$280.
How we do it
We remove the blower assembly, clean the wheel vanes and motor housing with compressed air and solvent, balance the assembly, and reinstall with torque-verified fasteners.
What HVAC Cleaning Costs in Windcrest
| Item | Typical range in Windcrest |
|---|---|
| Evaporator coil cleaning | $180-$320 |
| Blower cleaning | $150-$280 |
| Condenser coil cleaning | $130-$240 |
How do I know my HVAC needs cleaning versus replacement?
If the system is under 15 years old and cooling weakly, cleaning often restores performance; if the coil is corroded through or the blower motor is failing, we’ll document the damage and recommend replacement with a written second opinion at no cost. Call (830) 549-6847 to schedule an inspection.
Does HVAC cleaning help with cedar fever symptoms?
Cleaning removes accumulated pollen and biological growth from coils and blower, but it cannot seal duct leaks pulling attic air; we photograph any leaks found and can quote sealing separately under Haven Standard Clause 1.
Air Quality & Sanitizing in Windcrest
Windcrest’s aging duct systems create conditions for biological growth that standard cleaning cannot address: fiberglass duct board with degraded interior surfaces traps moisture and organic material, while separated duct boots pull humid attic air into the return stream. Our Air Quality & Sanitizing service treats these problems with documented application of EPA-registered products and installed equipment from Aprilaire and Guardsman.
Mold Treatment
Signs you need it
Musty odor when the system cycles, visible growth at registers, or respiratory symptoms that worsen at home and improve away.
What it costs in Windcrest
Whole-system mold treatment in Windcrest typically runs $400-$750.
How we do it
We apply an EPA-registered antimicrobial fog throughout the duct network, treat the evaporator coil and plenum directly, and deliver lab-quality photo documentation of treated surfaces.
UV Light Installation
Signs you need it
Repeated biological growth after cleaning, chronic moisture at the coil, or occupancy by allergy-sensitive residents.
What it costs in Windcrest
UV-C light installation in Windcrest typically runs $350-$600 including the lamp and power supply.
How we do it
We mount a UV-C lamp in the supply plenum downstream of the coil, wire to the air handler’s 24V circuit, and verify irradiance at the coil surface with a meter.
What Air Quality & Sanitizing Costs in Windcrest
| Item | Typical range in Windcrest |
|---|---|
| Mold treatment | $400-$750 |
| UV light installation | $350-$600 |
| Whole-home air purifier install | $800-$1,400 |
Is mold treatment safe for my family and pets?
We use EPA-registered products applied with the system off and occupants out during treatment, with a documented re-entry time and ventilation procedure before we leave. Call (830) 549-6847 for the specific product sheet and safety protocol.
How long does UV light installation take?
Most UV installations in Windcrest’s accessible attic spaces are completed in 2-3 hours, with the system tested and the lamp verified before we depart.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Windcrest
Standard cleaning and sealing do not require permits; duct replacement or HVAC modifications may need Windcrest building department approval, which we handle as part of any quoted repair scope.
Most Windcrest appointments are available within 3-5 business days; we do not promise same-day dispatch, as proper documentation and preparation take time we won’t skip.
Windcrest’s single HOA, the Windcrest Property Owners Association, does not regulate interior mechanical work; exterior condenser placement or modifications may require approval, which we verify before quoting any outside work.
