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.

AfterFast, Reliable HVAC Cleaning Across Leander
HVAC cleaning in Leander isn’t a luxury service, it’s the difference between breathing construction dust from your own home’s build phase and actually getting the filtration you paid for. Most Leander homes built between 2008 and 2022 have flex ductwork that ran during drywall curing before you ever closed, which means a layer of caliche limestone dust and joint compound residue is already sitting in your ducts on day one. Add Leander’s cedar pollen season from December through February and near-continuous summer AC runtime from May through September, and the system loads up fast. We serve every Leander neighborhood, from Bryson to Travisso to Crystal Falls, with written pricing before any work starts. Call (806) 606-6902 to schedule.
Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Is Leander’s Preferred HVAC Cleaning Company
We’ve spent years working in Leander homes built by Lennar, KB Home, Taylor Morrison, and Meritage, and we know what those builder-grade flex systems look like inside. The camera doesn’t lie: in Travisso and Bryson homes from the 2015-2020 build wave, we routinely document a gray-white crust on duct liners that no filter change will ever touch. Our crews serve Leander locally, dispatched from our Austin metro office, and every technician arrives background-checked, uniformed, and identified by name before work begins. Tomas Reyes, who leads our team, has built the company since 2013 around one practice: show the homeowner what’s actually inside their ducts before any cleaning starts, then show them the same view after.
Leander homeowners choose us because the record we provide is a written document, not a verbal summary. Haven Standard Clause 1 means a written price before a single panel comes off. Haven Standard Clause 3 means verified background-checked crews. And the 365-Day Done Right Promise is issued in writing on every job, not buried in marketing copy. When a Leander customer calls with a question six months after we leave, they talk to a live person, and the photo record from their visit is on file.
Our HVAC Cleaning Services in Leander
Our HVAC cleaning work in Leander covers the full air pathway, not just the flex runs you can see from the attic hatch. Here’s what that means in practice.
Evaporator Coil Cleaning
The evaporator coil sits in your air handler and pulls heat and humidity out of the air before it enters your duct runs. In Leander homes along the Ronald Reagan Boulevard and Hero Way corridors, construction-phase dust from drywall cure cycles gets drawn across this coil and bakes into the fins, reducing heat exchange and forcing longer AC cycles. We clean the coil with professional-grade tools from brands like Nikro and Abatement Technologies, then document the before and after with photos delivered to you as part of the standard job record. Homes in Bryson and Travisso with high-efficiency Carrier or Trane systems benefit most from this step because those coils run tight tolerances.
Blower Cleaning
The blower wheel and blower motor draw air across the coil and push it through your supply ducts. In Leander’s slab-on-grade tract construction, blower cabinets often pull fine caliche dust from return-air intakes near the foundation line and from garages where drywall dust settled during the build. A dirty blower wheel moves less air, which means weaker airflow at registers and uneven temperatures between rooms, especially in two-story floor plans common in Crystal Falls. We remove, clean, and re-balance the blower wheel as part of our full HVAC cleaning service, and we verify airflow at registers before we leave.
Air Handler Cleaning
The air handler cabinet is the box that houses the coil and blower, and it’s the junction where return air and supply air meet. In Leander homes built after 2015, we frequently find joint compound dust caked into the internal insulation of the air handler cabinet from the builder’s drywall-cure schedule. You don’t see it unless you open the cabinet and inspect, which is exactly what our documented photo record captures. We clean the cabinet interior, check drain pan and condensate line drainage, and confirm the unit is sealed properly at the plenum connection.
Condenser Cleaning
The condenser unit sits outside and rejects heat from your home to the Leander outdoors. Cedar pollen, cottonwood, grass clippings, and limestone dust from the Hill Country edge collect on the condenser fins, reducing the system’s ability to shed heat. During Leander’s summer months when the AC runs nearly nonstop, a restricted condenser makes the compressor run hotter and shortens equipment life. We clean the condenser coils, straighten bent fins where feasible, and check refrigerant-level performance as part of a full HVAC system cleaning.
Heat Exchanger Cleaning and Coil Treatment
For Leander homes with gas furnaces, we also clean the heat exchanger as part of a full HVAC cleaning, particularly before winter furnace use. Coil treatment after cleaning helps prevent re-adhesion of dust on damp coil surfaces during humid Hill Country-edge mornings. We apply treatment only after cleaning is complete and photographically documented, never as a substitute for source removal.

BeforeAfterTrusted Brands We Service in Leander
Our HVAC Cleaning crews work on systems installed in Leander homes by volume builders and custom contractors alike. We service and clean Trane, Carrier, Lennox, Goodman, Rheem, and Daikin systems, and we stock common parts for these brands locally so Leander customers aren’t waiting on a part to ship. When an air handler needs a replacement filter upgrade, we recommend and install Honeywell and Aprilaire media filters, which fit most standard upflow and horizontal applications. For coil cleaning and duct sanitation, we use Abatement Technologies and Nikro equipment, which homeowners can look up independently before we even schedule. There’s no mystery equipment on the truck; the brands are printed on the gear.
Common HVAC Cleaning Problems We See in Leander Homes
- Construction-phase contamination in Bryson, Travisso, and Crystal Falls homes. Builder-grade flex ducts activated during the drywall-cure phase pulled caliche limestone dust and joint compound residue into duct liners before the first homeowner closed. We document this on nearly every home built 2008-2022 that we open up in Leander.
- Cedar pollen loading from the Ashe juniper belt. Leander sits directly in the winter cedar pollen path, and return-air intakes pull fine juniper particulates into supply and return ducts along the Hero Way corridor all December through February. Pollen settles in duct runs, air handler cabinets, and coil fins.
- Kinked and poorly sealed flex at duct boots. Volume-built slab-on-grade homes in Leander often have flex runs that were stretched, kinked, or never properly sealed at the boot connection. Restriction at the boot compounds dust accumulation and reduces airflow to rooms at the end of the longest runs, especially upstairs rooms during summer.
- Dust and pollen from unpaved roads and open land. Homes outside the immediate subdivision grid, off Ronald Reagan Boulevard or further down Hero Way, sit near unpaved county roads and open pasture. That fine caliche dust gets pulled into returns every time a vehicle passes on the shoulder or wind picks up across open land, and it settles in ducts at a rate that surprises homeowners.
Pricing for HVAC Cleaning in Leander, TX
A full HVAC cleaning in Leander typically runs $425 to $780 for a single system home, depending on system size, number of return drops, and whether the evaporator coil and air handler cabinet are included.

FAQs - HVAC Cleaning in Leander
Because your home’s HVAC system ran during the drywall-cure phase of construction, before you ever closed on the property, and pulled joint compound dust and caliche limestone particulate into the flex duct liners. This applies to the vast majority of homes in Bryson, Travisso, and Crystal Falls built between 2008 and 2022. A new home’s ducts are not clean by default. A camera inspection will show you exactly what’s in there before any cleaning starts. Call (806) 606-6902 to schedule an inspection with a documented photo record.
Yes, cedar pollen from the Ashe juniper belt, which surrounds Leander on the Hill Country edge, is drawn through return-air intakes and settles in supply and return ducts throughout the December to February pollen season. Even with a MERV-rated filter, the finest cedar particles pass through and deposit inside duct runs, air handler cabinets, and coil fins. Homes along the Hero Way corridor and near open cedar stands see the heaviest loading. Our documented before and after photos show cedar pollen accumulation in real Leander homes every winter. Call (806) 606-6902 to schedule HVAC cleaning before cedar season peaks.
For homes outside the subdivision grid, near unpaved roads or open pasture, we recommend a full HVAC cleaning every 18 to 24 months, versus the 3 to 5 year interval that works for homes further inside developed neighborhoods. Fine caliche dust from unpaved roads loads duct runs, blower wheels, and coil fins at an accelerated rate, and summer AC runtime makes the problem worse. If you’re on a county road west of Ronald Reagan Boulevard, expect heavier loading than a home in central Leander. Call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll help you set the right interval based on what the camera shows in your system.
That gray-white crust is joint compound residue and caliche dust embedded in the duct liner during the builder’s drywall-cure schedule. In homes along the Ronald Reagan Boulevard and Hero Way growth corridors finished between 2015 and 2020, HVAC systems ran for months during construction to cure drywall, and the dust from that process settled and adhered to the flex duct interior. Filter changes will not remove it. It requires source removal cleaning with negative pressure and agitation, which is exactly what our crews do, with photos before and after. Call (806) 606-6902 to have your ducts inspected.
Duct cleaning alone is not enough. In Leander homes, the air handler cabinet and evaporator coil collect the same construction-phase dust and cedar pollen that the duct runs collect, and a dirty coil reduces system efficiency and shortens compressor life during Leander’s hot summers. Our full HVAC cleaning includes air handler cleaning, evaporator coil cleaning, and blower cleaning as one documented service. Skipping the coil and cabinet is the most common mistake we see in competitor quotes, and it’s why our written price always lists the full scope before work starts. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written price on your complete HVAC system.
Schedule Your HVAC Cleaning in Leander
If you live in Leander and you’ve never seen the inside of your duct runs, the answer is probably already sitting in there waiting to be photographed. We pulled a kinked flex duct in a Travisso home and found a gray-white crust of joint compound on the liner from the builder’s drywall-cure schedule. Our crew ran a camera inspection, then used negative pressure and agitation tools to extract the caliche dust, followed by evaporator coil cleaning and a MERV-13 filter check. Airflow improved noticeably, and the cedar-season sneezing calmed down. That’s the standard we bring to every Leander job: a written price, a documented photo record, and a 365-Day Done Right Promise. Call (806) 606-6902 to schedule your free estimate today.
