Air Duct Cleaning Company in San Marcos, TX
Air duct cleaning in San Marcos usually runs between $350 and $550 for a typical single-family home, though larger systems or post-construction cleanouts can push higher. What makes San Marcos work different is the housing stock itself: older suburban homes from the 1970s through the 1990s still running original flex duct that sags in attic heat, sitting right next to brand-new builds where drywall dust and construction debris clog registers before anyone moves in. Our crews work both ends of that spectrum every week, and we quote each job as one flat price before anything gets touched. Call (940) 283-6595 for a free estimate.
Why San Marcos Homes Are Different
San Marcos has grown fast, and the result is a patchwork: mid-century ranch homes on the east side near the university, newer subdivisions spreading toward the outlet malls and beyond, and a constant stream of apartments turning over every August. That matters for ductwork because many older San Marcos homes still have flex duct running through unconditioned attics, where summer heat bakes it for eight months straight. Flex duct degrades under that kind of heat; it sags, separates at the joints, and starts pulling attic air, dust, and whatever else lives up there into the supply side of the system. We regularly see duct runs in older neighborhoods like Blanco Vista and Willow Creek that were installed when the home was built and have never been opened since.
The climate compounds it. Hot, humid summers mean your HVAC runs from April through October, pulling in Hill Country pollen, cedar, and fine dust from constant construction. Systems here accumulate debris noticeably faster than in cooler parts of Texas. Add in the fact that roof rats and squirrels are common in San Marcos, and we find crushed or chewed-through flex duct far more often than homeowners expect. A musty smell from the vents after the first big spring rain is often the first sign something got into the ductwork.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main San Marcos Services
Most San Marcos homeowners call us for two reasons: dryer vents that are overdue for a cleaning, and full air duct cleanings on homes where the system has never been serviced. Here’s how each job goes in San Marcos specifically.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in San Marcos
Dryer vents in San Marcos clog faster than average because lint, plus the high humidity, can create blockages that slow drying times and strain the dryer. In older homes, the vent run is often long, with multiple bends, and may terminate on the roof, which makes it harder to clear properly from inside. We run a rotating brush through the full run and verify airflow at the termination point. If your dryer is taking two cycles to dry a load, it’s time. See Dryer Vent Cleaning in San Marcos for the full breakdown.
Air Duct Cleaning in San Marcos
Duct cleaning here means more than running a vacuum through the registers. Because so many San Marcos homes sit on pier-and-beam or slab foundations with HVAC equipment in the attic, we use negative-pressure extraction to pull loosened debris straight into a HEPA-filtered Nikro vacuum instead of blowing it back into the living space. That’s the difference between a real cleaning and a visual dusting. Post-construction cleanouts are especially common in San Marcos, and a clean system starts with clean ducts. The full job, including pricing and what to expect, is on Air Duct Cleaning in San Marcos.
HVAC Cleaning in San Marcos
HVAC cleaning in San Marcos covers the entire air path: the return, the coil, the blower, and the supply ducts. In a city where the AC runs most of the year, biofilm and dust build up on evaporator coils and drip pans faster than homeowners realize, which not only hurts indoor air quality but drives up cooling costs. That’s a San Marcos-specific problem worth solving before peak summer arrives. We cover the exact scope and tools on HVAC Cleaning in San Marcos.

AfterPricing for Air Duct Cleaning Company in San Marcos, TX
San Marcos pricing reflects the local housing stock: smaller 1,200 to 1,800 square foot ranch homes sit on the lower end, larger two-story newer builds sit higher, and post-construction cleanings add cost because of the extra debris volume. All of it is quoted as one flat price, in writing, before work starts.
| Service | Typical range in San Marcos |
|---|---|
| Standard air duct cleaning (up to 10 vents) | $350 – $500 |
| Larger home (11 – 20 vents) | $500 – $700 |
| Full HVAC system cleaning (ducts, coil, blower) | $650 – $950 |
| Dryer vent cleaning | $125 – $200 |
| Post-construction duct cleanout | $450 – $750 |
| Air duct sanitizing (fogging, after cleaning) | $150 – $300 |
| Flex duct repair/replacement (per section) | $200 – $450 |
| Duct sealing (per run, material dependent) | $250 – $500 |
What pushes price up in San Marcos is usually attic access, heavily debris-filled duct runs, or a system that hasn’t seen service in ten-plus years. Whatever the number, it’s agreed before we begin, and it does not change at the door.
