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.

What makes Converse different from Schertz or Cibolo isn’t the weather. It’s the tenant turnover cycle. More on that below, because it changes what we find inside the ducts here.
Key Takeaways:
- Full system cleaning in Converse runs $380-$620 for most single-family homes; two-story homes and homes with long flexible duct runs push toward the high end.
- Converse’s military rental housing cycle means many duct systems haven’t been opened since the 1980s or 1990s.
- We photograph every duct run before and after. You see the difference. It’s part of the standard job record, no extra charge.
- Written price before work starts, under Haven Standard Clause 1. No “call for a quote” games.
Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Is Converse’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
Converse is a specific market. The housing stock off Kitty Hawk Road and Schaefer Road was built fast, in the 1980s and 1990s, much of it for military families cycling through Joint Base San Antonio-Randolph. We’ve opened ducts in those homes that still carried the original construction debris, tenant dust from a dozen PCS moves, and cedar pollen packed into the liner. A generic duct cleaning crew from across town won’t recognize the pattern. We do, because we’ve worked this area steadily since 2013 and our photo record tells the story on every job.
CleanRun is independently owned and operated under the Haven Standard. Tomas Reyes leads every job with a simple rule: show the customer what the camera sees before we touch a single duct. That’s Haven Standard Clause 4, the Documented Photo Record, and it applies to every visit in Converse, no exceptions. When we finish, you’ll have before and after images of every duct run, not a tech’s word that “it was pretty dirty in there.”
Crews serving Converse are background-checked and uniformed. You’ll get the technician’s name before arrival. You’ll get a written scope of work. And you’ll get the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing: if the work isn’t right, we make it right.
Our Air Duct Cleaning Services in Converse
Every job starts with a written price and a plan. Here’s what we handle most often in Converse, and what it looks like in this market specifically.
Residential Duct Cleaning
Most Converse homes are single-story tract builds from the 1980s and 1990s with flexible duct systems that have never been professionally cleaned. We run negative-pressure extraction with HEPA-filtered source removal through the full supply and return side. In a 1,600-square-foot Converse home, that typically means 8 to 12 duct runs, and we photograph every one before and after. Your price is written before we start, and that’s the price you pay.
Commercial Duct Cleaning
Converse has a growing commercial strip along FM 78 and Toepperwein, with dental offices, daycares, and small retail spaces that run their AC nearly year-round. We clean commercial systems during off hours so businesses don’t close. The documentation is the same: written scope, photo record of every run, and a system map showing what we found and where. For a daycare or clinic in Converse, that photo record is more than a deliverable. It’s evidence for your own clients.
Supply Duct Cleaning
The supply side is where Converse’s cedar pollen and attic insulation fibers end up when flex-duct connections pull apart at the collars. We open each supply register, run camera inspection to find disconnects, then clean and reseal before pulling negative pressure through the system. If a supply run has delaminated fiberglass liner, we document it and show you the image. You decide what happens next, with a written price either way.
Return Duct Cleaning
Return ducts in Converse run through hot attics and pull from hallways and living spaces. The filter catches some of what goes back to the blower, but not the fine pollen that settles inside the return plenum. We clean the return side as its own scope of work, not as an afterthought. In homes near Randolph AFB where the original filter grille was undersized, return duct interiors are often the most loaded part of the system.
Full System Cleaning
This is the service that makes the most sense for Converse homes that haven’t been opened in decades. Full system cleaning covers all supply runs, all return runs, the plenums, the blower cabinet, and the coils. We run camera inspection first, identify any disconnects or liner failures, then put the cleaning scope in writing before work begins. For a 1980s military rental, this is the only way to actually reset the air quality for the next tenant.
Video Inspection
Before we clean, we look. Video inspection is a standalone service in Converse for homeowners who want to know exactly what’s inside their ducts before committing to a cleaning, and for landlords between tenants who need documentation of duct condition. The video record is yours. If a flex connection has pulled apart at a collar, the camera will show it. If the liner is delaminating, you’ll see it before we recommend anything.

BeforeAfterTrusted Brands We Service in Converse
We work on systems built with Honeywell filters, Guardsman components, and older Aprilaire media cabinets, which are common across Converse’s 1980s and 1990s housing stock. Our technicians know these brands and can identify condition issues during the video inspection before cleaning starts. If your system has a Rotobrush-style access point or a Nikro inspection port, we’ll use it. We don’t invent performance claims about equipment; we use professional tools and show you what they found.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Converse Homes
- Disconnected flex duct at collars: Bexar County’s clay soil expands and contracts enough to pull flexible duct connections apart. We regularly find 2- to 6-inch gaps at collars, feeding attic dust and insulation into the supply side.
- Decades of tenant dust in military rentals: Homes near Randolph AFB cycle through tenants every 2 to 3 years with no duct maintenance between occupancies. Most of those systems haven’t been professionally cleaned since the original build-out.
- Mountain cedar pollen accumulation: December through February, Ashe juniper pollen is constant and fine enough to coat duct interiors. By spring, many Converse systems are holding a visible layer of pollen inside the supply plenum.
- Fiberglass liner delamination: 1980s flex duct, especially in homes with near-continuous AC operation, sheds inner liner fibers that end up in the airstream. It’s a specific failure mode we see more in Converse than in newer Schertz developments.
The Converse Military Rental Cycle: Why Ducts Here Aren’t Like Other Cities
This is the part a generic air duct cleaning page won’t tell you. Converse sits directly adjacent to Joint Base San Antonio-Randolph, which creates one of the highest concentrations of military rental housing in the San Antonio metro. PCS orders move tenants every 2 to 3 years, and most landlords don’t schedule duct cleaning between occupancies. The result: a large share of Converse homes have duct systems that have never been professionally cleaned since the original 1980s and 1990s build-out. That’s not a guess. It’s what our camera shows us on job after job off Kitty Hawk Road, FM 1516, and the older streets around the base.
Last month we cleaned a 1987 single-story rental off Kitty Hawk Road near the base. The original flex ducts had pulled apart at two collar connections from clay-soil foundation movement. Our camera inspection showed a 6-inch gap feeding attic insulation and cedar pollen straight into the supply side. We resealed the collars, ran negative pressure with HEPA-filtered source removal, and the tenant’s constant allergy flare-ups stopped within a week. That’s the Converse pattern. Most duct cleaning companies don’t look for it. We do, because we’ve been documenting it here for years.
What does this mean for you? If you live in a home built between 1980 and 1995 in Converse, your ducts have likely never been opened. That’s a different starting point than a 2018 build in Cibolo. Our Air Duct Cleaning process accounts for it: video inspection first, structural repair where disconnects exist, then full system cleaning. You don’t just get cleaner air. You get a sealed system that stops pulling attic air into your living space.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Converse, TX
Here’s what we actually charge in Converse, in writing, before work starts. A full single-family system under 2,000 square feet typically runs $380-$520. Two-story homes or systems with more than 12 duct runs land between $520 and $620. If the video inspection reveals disconnected collars or liner delamination that needs repair, we quote that as a separate written line item. You approve it or you don’t. No per-vent pricing, no bait-and-switch. That’s Haven Standard Clause 1.
| Service | Converse Market Range |
|---|---|
| Full System Cleaning (single-story, up to 12 runs) | $380 - $520 |
| Full System Cleaning (two-story or 13+ runs) | $520 - $620 |
| Standalone Video Inspection | $120 - $180 |
| Supply Duct Cleaning Only | $220 - $310 |
| Return Duct Cleaning Only | $180 - $260 |
These ranges reflect Converse’s housing stock: 30- to 40-year-old flex duct, attic access in hot conditions, and systems that haven’t been touched in decades. A 1987 rental off Kitty Hawk Road with disconnected collars will cost more than a 2005 single-story off Toepperwein where the system is intact. We put the exact number in writing before we start.

FAQs - Air Duct Cleaning in Converse
Every 3 to 5 years for a single-family home in Converse that runs AC 9 to 10 months per year, with cedar pollen coating ducts December through February. Military rental properties between tenants should be cleaned with every occupancy change, or at minimum every 3 years, whichever comes first. Call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll give you a written assessment for your specific home.
Yes. The combination of original 30- to 40-year-old flex duct, clay-soil foundation movement, and the military rental turnover cycle is specific to Converse and the immediate Randolph AFB area. We regularly find disconnected collars and delaminating fiberglass liner in homes off Schaefer Road and Kitty Hawk Road that you simply don’t see at the same rate in newer Schertz or Cibolo subdivisions.
Clean and inspect between every tenancy. Schedule video inspection and full system cleaning before the new tenant moves in, and keep the photo record as documentation for the next turnover. It costs less than a month of vacancy and it protects you from tenant complaints about allergies, dust, and air quality. We’ll give you a written price before any work starts.
It can, and it does. Bexar County’s expansive clay soil moves enough during wet-dry cycles to pull flex duct connections apart at the collars. We’ve documented 2- to 6-inch gaps on multiple Converse homes off Kitty Hawk Road and Schaefer Road. The fix is structural, not cosmetic: reseal the collar, then clean the system. Our video inspection shows you the disconnect before we propose anything.
It looks like torn or peeling sheets of fiberglass inside the duct, often with visible glass fibers at the tear edges. In Converse, we see it most often in 1980s flex duct that has run AC nearly continuously for 30+ years, especially in military rentals with no maintenance history. The liner sheds fibers into the airstream. Our camera captures it, we show you the image, and we quote any repair or replacement as a separate written line item. Call (806) 606-6902 for an exact quote.
We schedule Converse jobs Monday through Saturday, and dispatch is coordinated from the brand’s San Antonio office, so crews reach Converse neighborhoods directly without a long drive. You’ll get a confirmed appointment window, the technician’s name before arrival, and a written price before any work begins.
