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.

Why Austin Homes Are Different
Austin’s housing stock splits in two directions. Central neighborhoods like Hyde Park, Travis Heights, and Bouldin Creek are full of bungalows and pier-and-beam homes from the early 1900s. Many still have original metal ducts that rust at the seams and pull attic air into the system. Then there are the tight, newer builds in areas like Mueller, Easton Park, and the Domain corridor, where flex ducts can get crushed during the build or filled with drywall dust long before anyone moves in.
The climate works against both. Cedar pollen season hits hardest from December through February, and oak pollen follows in the spring. With the AC running from May through October, whatever gets pulled in stays circulating. Add to that the constant construction along corridors like 183 and MoPac, and we routinely find an unusual amount of drywall dust in Austin ducts, even in homes that are only a few years old. Humidity is the other factor: Austin summers push moisture into evaporator coils and duct surfaces, which turns dust into something that sticks and smells.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Austin Services
Most Austin homeowners call us for two of our three services: full air duct cleaning and dryer vent cleaning. Here’s what each involves in Austin specifically.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Austin
Older Austin homes often have dryer vents that run 15 – 25 feet with multiple elbows, which is exactly where lint builds fastest. Newer builds aren’t immune either, especially in neighborhoods like Mueller where vents exit through the roof instead of a side wall, making them harder to access and easier to forget. We clean the full run, inspect the termination point, and confirm proper airflow before we leave. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Austin covers pricing, what to expect, and how often we recommend the service.
Air Duct Cleaning in Austin
This is a whole-system job in Austin: supply ducts, return ducts, the air handler, and the plenum. In older central Austin homes, we’re usually removing decades of dust, pet dander, and cedar pollen. In newer construction zones like the Domain corridor, we’re often removing builders’ debris that never should have been there. Air Duct Cleaning in Austin breaks down the full process, including our HEPA extraction setup and the before-and-after photos you receive on every job.
HVAC Cleaning in Austin
HVAC cleaning in Austin means cleaning the components that actually condition the air: the evaporator coil, blower motor, condensate pan, and the housing around them. With AC running most of the year, Austin coils collect a layer of dust and biofilm that reduces airflow and pushes your system harder. We clean and sanitize the full air handler, check drainage, and restore airflow to factory specs. HVAC Cleaning in Austin has the full scope, pricing, and how we handle newer variable-speed systems.

What pushes price up in Austin is access and square footage. A pier-and-beam bungalow with crawlspace ducts takes longer to clean than a same-size home with attic access. What doesn’t change is the price once we’ve quoted it: a written price is handed to you before any duct is touched, and it does not change at the door.
