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.

AfterTrane Air Duct Cleaning in San Antonio, NY | CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning
We provide independent Trane air duct cleaning across San Antonio, and the one thing that separates our Trane work here is the documented photo record you receive before and after every duct run is cleaned. Trane systems in this city carry a specific debris load, cedar pollen stacked on caliche dust through a cooling season that barely pauses, and we clean for that reality rather than a generic checklist. If you own a Trane system in San Antonio, call (806) 606-6902 for a written price before any work starts.
Why San Antonio Residents Choose Us for Trane Service
Tomas Reyes, our owner and lead technician, grew up in Woodside, Queens, in a building where the ductwork hadn’t been touched since the Carter administration, a fact he confirmed himself once he got into the trade. He completed his HVAC coursework at Queensborough Community College and spent years working residential and commercial duct systems before founding CleanRun in 2013. Since then, we’ve served more than 52,000 homes, every one with a written price before work started and a photo record when the crew left. For Trane owners, that matters because we treat your XR or XL system as what it is: a specific piece of equipment with a specific debris profile. Our techs inspect first, then hand you the camera findings, then put the scope and price in writing. Haven Standard Clause 1: written price delivered before any work starts, every time. No call-for-a-quote. No exceptions.
Common Trane Air Duct Cleaning Problems We Solve in San Antonio
- Clogged evaporator coils on Trane XR and XL systems. Nine to ten months of cooling pulls cedar pollen and caliche dust directly across the coil. By late winter, the coil face is often matted with a compacted layer that raises static pressure and cuts airflow. We clean coils with aluminum-safe methods and document the before and after.
- Collapsed or sagging flex duct on 20 to 40 year old Trane installations. Attic ductwork along the US 281 and Loop 1604 corridors bakes at 150°F plus for months at a time. Flex duct loses its shape, sags at the midspan, and separates at joints. During cleaning, we identify these failures and repair or replace the affected runs.
- Mold and microbial growth inside Trane Hyperion air handlers. Cedar fever season means windows sealed and the system running continuously from December through February. Combined with San Antonio humidity, the TAM series air handler becomes a condensation cycle. We clean and sanitize the plenum, blower, and coil section, then seal any air bypass.
- Restricted return plenums on southwest-side rental properties. Homes near JBSA-Lackland change tenants on 2 to 3 year PCS orders, which means maintenance never triggers. We see Trane returns packed with a decade of cedar pollen, caliche dust, and construction debris, starving the scroll compressor of airflow until it overheats.
- Duct leakage in pre-WWII conversions. Monte Vista, Mahncke Park, and King William homes often have improvised metal duct runs behind plaster. Joints leak, returns pull dirty air from wall cavities, and the system works harder than it should. We seal with mastic and restore airflow to spec.
BeforeAfterTrane Service in San Antonio: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
San Antonio’s cedar fever season, from December through February, is the city’s most distinctive HVAC stressor. Ashe juniper trees release pollen so heavily that the air visibly hazes yellow, and residents seal windows and run systems continuously for weeks. That pollen, stacked on top of caliche-rich soil dust from construction along the 1604 corridor, produces a debris load unlike anything you’d find in nearby Austin or New Braunfels. The return plenums and filter boxes here don’t collect light organic dust. They collect a gritty, compacted layer that hardens with summer condensation. For Trane owners, that means late February through March is the single most urgent duct cleaning window in the city. Waiting until April means a full cooling season spent pushing air through last winter’s pollen load. We see this pattern every year in neighborhoods from Monte Vista up through Stone Oak.

FAQs - Trane Air Duct Cleaning in San Antonio
Cedar fever loads your Trane ductwork with Ashe juniper pollen from December through February, and because the system runs continuously with windows sealed, that pollen never has a chance to settle out. By late February, the return and supply runs carry a dense, sticky pollen layer that hardens with summer condensation, reducing airflow and forcing your blower to work harder. The most effective window for Air Duct Cleaning - San Antonio is late February through March, before the cooling season starts pulling that load through the coil. Call (806) 606-6902 to schedule an inspection with a written price.
Because those attics hit 150°F plus for months, and 20 to 40 year old flex duct doesn’t survive that heat indefinitely. The outer jacket degrades, the inner liner sags, and joints separate. When we run the camera during our HVAC Cleaning in San Antonio, we regularly find collapsed midspan sections that were moving almost no air. We include a flex duct condition report in every photo record, and we repair what we find.
Yes. We use coil-cleaning methods rated for aluminum fins, applied at pressure levels that lift the debris without bending the fin structure. The TAM series air handler is especially prone to microbial growth from condensation cycling during cedar fever season, so we photograph the coil before and after, and we include both images in your documented record.
Yes, and it’s a pattern we’ve documented across zip codes like 78245, 78227, and 78250. Military tenant families rotate out on 2 to 3 year PCS orders without triggering any maintenance review, and landlords don’t see the inside of the ducts. We’ve cleaned Trane service in Austin returns near Lackland that held a decade or more of cedar pollen, caliche dust, and mold from summer condensation. If you bought or manage a rental in that area, have the ducts inspected before the next tenant moves in. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written scope.
Almost always yes. Those homes were retrofitted for central air decades ago, and the improvised metal runs behind plaster walls leak at the joints, pulling dirty air from wall cavities and pushing conditioned air into dead space. Sealing with mastic typically restores 10 to 20 percent of lost airflow, which means your Trane system runs shorter cycles and the compressor lives longer. We include a leakage assessment in every duct cleaning. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written estimate with the leakage numbers.
