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.

Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Is New Braunfels’s Preferred HVAC Cleaning Company
We get called out to New Braunfels homes where the problem is visible before we even open a register. Homeowners tell us about dust lines on the walls, filters that clog in three weeks, and that first heating cycle in December that smells like a barn. The difference is what we hand back when the job is done: a written price before any work starts, and a photo record of every duct run before and after. Since 2013, CleanRun has completed over 52,000 jobs under the Haven Standard, and our HVAC Cleaning team in New Braunfels carries the same practice on every single visit.
Tomas Reyes, who leads our crews, insists on one thing above all: the customer sees what we see. If the camera shows a 3-inch debris build-up at the first elbow, you get that photo. If the blower wheel is caked, you get that photo too. That’s Haven Standard Clause 4: Documented Photo Record. It keeps us honest and it keeps you informed. And every New Braunfels job is backed by the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If the work isn’t right, we make it right.
Our HVAC Cleaning Services in New Braunfels
Evaporator Coil Cleaning
Your evaporator coil sits inside the air handler and is the first surface that New Braunfels air touches as it gets pulled into the system. In homes off caliche roads like those around Freiheit and Clear Springs, the coil picks up a fine limestone dust that binds to condensed moisture, then hardens into a paste that chokes airflow. We clean coils with professional-grade cleaners and HEPA-filtered extraction, and we photograph the coil before and after so you can see the difference. A typical evaporator coil cleaning in New Braunfels runs $180-$320 as part of a full system clean.
Air Handler Cleaning
The air handler moves air through the entire system, and when it’s clogged, every room pays for it. In the tract-built homes north of Highway 46 in New Braunfels, we regularly pull drywall dust, blown-in insulation fragments, and cedar pollen out of air handler cabinets that were sealed tight after construction back in 2014 or 2022 and never touched since. Cleaning the blower wheel, housing, and interior surfaces restores airflow and drops the load on the motor. Air handler cleaning in New Braunfels typically adds $140-$240 to a full duct cleaning, depending on condition.
Blower Cleaning
A blower wheel caked with caliche dust and pollen throws itself out of balance and forces the motor to work harder. We’ve opened blower assemblies in New Braunfels homes where the wheel looked like a sand dollar, each blade coated in the same fine powder you see on your car after a dry week. Blower cleaning restores proper air volume and cuts the strain that shortens motor life. Expect $110-$190 for blower cleaning when done alongside the rest of the system.
Condenser Cleaning
The outdoor condenser unit fights New Braunfels heat every summer and collects grass clippings, cottonwood seed, and dust from every dry spell. A clogged condenser coil drives up cooling costs and shortens the compressor’s life. We clean the coil, straighten fins where needed, and clear debris from the housing. Condenser cleaning in New Braunfels runs $150-$280 and keeps your system from working overtime through those 100-degree July afternoons.

Common HVAC Cleaning Problems We See in New Braunfels Homes
- Cedar pollen saturation: From December through February, mountain cedar pollen counts in New Braunfels rank among the highest recorded anywhere in the U.S. If your ducts weren’t cleaned after last season, you’re breathing last year’s pollen every time the furnace runs.
- Caliche dust loading: Unpaved caliche driveways and open Hill Country fields put a fine limestone dust into the air that settles in supply and return ducts. It binds to pollen and duct liners, requiring more aggressive agitation than a standard brush pass.
- Post-construction debris in newer tract homes: New Braunfels grew fast through the 2010s and 2020s, and a lot of homes were built on tight schedules. Drywall dust, insulation fragments, and debris got sealed inside ductwork before the first owner moved in. Homes built between 2012 and 2024 in New Braunfels’s north and west subdivisions often have registers that were never cleaned after construction.
- Condensation mold near the rivers: The Guadalupe and Comal rivers create localized humidity that’s measurably higher than surrounding areas. In slab-on-grade homes with ducts in unconditioned attics, summer attic temps hit 140°F and winter cold snaps follow. That swing causes condensation inside ducts, and mold on duct liners becomes a recurring problem between cleanings.
Pricing for HVAC Cleaning in New Braunfels, TX
A full HVAC cleaning in New Braunfels, covering ducts, evaporator coil, blower, and air handler, runs $425-$875 for most homes. Smaller single-system ranchers near downtown New Braunfels fall at the lower end, while larger two-story homes off FM 306 and in the Creekside area sit toward the upper end due to longer duct runs and multiple returns. Condenser cleaning adds $150-$280 if you want the outdoor unit done the same visit. What you’ll never see is a per-vent price or a $79 coupon that climbs after the tech arrives.

FAQs - HVAC Cleaning in New Braunfels
Every 2 to 3 years is realistic for homes on unpaved caliche roads, compared to every 3 to 5 years for homes on paved streets. The fine limestone dust from caliche binds to pollen and duct liners and builds up faster than typical household dust. Homes with pets or anyone with cedar allergies should lean toward 2 years. Call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll give you a written assessment of your specific situation based on what we find.
Yes, and November is the busiest month for duct cleaning calls in New Braunfels for this exact reason. A pre-December duct flush removes the cedar pollen sitting in your ducts from the previous season before the new juniper bloom starts. Homeowners who have lived through one cedar fever season in New Braunfels typically book a cleaning when they switch from cooling to heat and smell that first wave of baked-in pollen. It won’t stop the outdoor pollen from existing, but it keeps last year’s load from circulating inside your house all winter.
Get a camera inspection first. New Braunfels grew so fast in the 2010s and 2020s that many tract homes were built on schedules that left drywall dust, blown-in insulation fragments, and construction debris inside the duct runs. If you’re seeing dust at the registers, the air handler and blower are likely coated too. CleanRun performs a full source removal with HEPA filtration, and you get a documented photo record of every duct run when we’re done. Call (806) 606-6902 to schedule.
Yes. New Braunfels sits at the confluence of two rivers, and the localized humidity is measurably higher than in surrounding Hill Country towns. In slab-on-grade homes with ducts running through unconditioned attics, the temperature swing between 140°F summer days and winter blue norther cold snaps creates condensation inside the ducts. That moisture allows mold to colonize duct liners. If you smell mustiness when the system runs or see staining around registers, call us at (806) 606-6902 for a camera inspection before it spreads further.
Yes, and often more frequently. Outbuildings in New Braunfels sit closer to open Hill Country fields and caliche roads, so they pull in more fine dust and pollen than the main house. If you run a workshop with a separate mini-split or ducted system, its coil and blower load up faster than the house system. CleanRun services detached workshops and barn systems using the same documented process and written pricing. We’ll quote each building separately under the same Haven Standard.
A Pre-December Duct Flush for New Braunfels
New Braunfels sits squarely in the epicenter of Ashe juniper country. The famous “cedar fever” season from December through February pushes airborne pollen concentrations to some of the highest recorded anywhere in the United States. That same city has been one of the fastest-growing in America through the 2010s and 2020s, which means a large share of its housing stock is quickly-built tract construction from roughly 2012-2024. New ductwork was sealed with construction dust, drywall particulate, and insulation fragments before the first homeowner ever moved in. Then the cedar pollen layered on top, year after year.
The result is an indoor air problem that resurfaces every heating season. We recently serviced a two-story home off FM 306 in the Gruene area, where the homeowner called after their first heating cycle of December sent visible cedar pollen and drywall dust out of every register. Our tech ran a camera inspection and found supply and return ducts packed with blown-in insulation fragments and a thick layer of juniper pollen, plus an air handler coil coated in caliche dust. Using negative pressure and a Rotobrush agitation system with HEPA filtration, we performed full source removal on the duct runs and gave the evaporator coil a deep clean before the cedar bloom peaked.
A pre-December flush won’t stop outdoor pollen from existing. But it removes last year’s pollen, this fall’s dust, and the construction debris from your system before you spend three months running the heat with the windows closed. For New Braunfels homeowners, that’s the difference between a tolerable January and one spent waking up with cedar symptoms every morning. The equipment we leave behind is documented, the price is written before we start, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise covers the job for a full year. If it’s not done right, we make it right.
