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 Converse
HVAC cleaning in Converse, TX typically runs between $420 and $780 for a full system, with coil cleaning priced separately at $150 to $325 depending on access. Most jobs take a single visit of three to five hours, and you’ll leave with a written photo record of every duct run, coil, and blower wheel we touched. If you live off Toepperwein Road, along FM 1516, or in the newer builds near E Loop 1604, our crews know the exact housing stock and duct systems you’re dealing with. Call CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning at (806) 606-6902 for a written price before any work starts.
We’re not a dispatch service that sends whoever’s closest. Our teams serving Converse work the Randolph AFB fringe, the 1980s tract subdivisions around Gibbs Sprawl, and the acreage lots east toward Cibolo. That local routing matters because the duct problems in Converse aren’t random: they follow the soil, the housing era, and the pollen calendar. We know which streets have the original flex runs. We know which subdivisions sit on the worst clay movement. And we know that military rental turnover means many of these systems haven’t been touched in a decade.
Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Is Converse’s Preferred HVAC Cleaning Company
CleanRun has been doing this since 2013, and the company’s operating rules were written for exactly the kind of buyer who lives in Converse: someone who researches before calling, wants the price in writing, and expects to see proof the work happened. That’s why every job ends with a documented photo record, inside every duct run, before and after. You don’t have to trust our word. You look at the camera frames.
Our crews are background-checked and uniformed under Haven Standard Clause 3: Verified Crews. They arrive with the equipment on the truck, not a sales binder. The written price comes before a single panel comes off. And the 365-Day Done Right Promise is in writing on every job: if it’s not right, we make it right. No manager approval dance.
We’ve cleaned systems in Converse where the evaporator coil looked like a felt blanket of cedar pollen and the blower wheel carried a quarter-inch of dust. Those aren’t unusual findings here. They’re what happens when a 1980s flex-duct system runs nine months a year and skips maintenance across multiple tenants.
Our HVAC Cleaning Services in Converse
We clean the whole air path, not just the ducts. Here’s what that actually means for a Converse home.
Evaporator Coil Cleaning
The evaporator coil is the cold surface inside your air handler where condensation forms. In Converse, that wet surface grabs mountain cedar pollen, dust, and whatever the blower pushes through it. A loaded coil cuts airflow and forces the compressor to run longer. Coil cleaning in Converse runs $150 to $325, depending on whether we pull the coil or clean it in place.
Air Handler Cleaning
The air handler is the cabinet that houses the blower, coil, and often the heat exchanger. In the 1980s and 1990s tract homes south of Randolph AFB, these cabinets are usually in the attic or a hallway closet. We clean the blower wheel, the cabinet interior, and the condensate pan. Attic installations where the technician has to work around blown insulation take longer and push the price toward the upper end.
Blower Cleaning
A dirty blower wheel moves less air and uses more power. We see blower wheels in Converse with a compacted layer of dust on every curved vane, which throws the wheel out of balance and stresses the motor. Cleaning the blower is part of the full HVAC cleaning, but if we have to pull the housing apart for deep access, expect that labor to show as a line item on your written scope.
Condenser Cleaning
The condenser is the outdoor unit. In Converse, it collects grass clippings, oak pollen, and fine dust from unpaved driveways and open land east of the city. We clean the coil fins with the right pressure and remove debris from the cabinet base so the unit can shed heat. A condenser that can’t reject heat is why compressors fail in August. This runs $120 to $200 as an add-on while we’re already on site.

Common HVAC Cleaning Problems We See in Converse Homes
- Delaminating flex-duct liners. The original 1980s fiberglass-lined flex ducts installed throughout Converse’s tract housing are now 30 to 40 years old. The inner liner begins to delaminate, and that sends glass fibers into the airstream. We find this most often in rentals near Randolph AFB that haven’t had duct maintenance across multiple military-family tenancies.
- Foundation-driven duct disconnections. Bexar County’s expansive clay soil swells and contracts with moisture. That movement pulls flex-duct connections apart at the collars, and attic dust and insulation fibers get pulled directly into the supply system. If you’ve got a disconnected run, cleaning is only half the job. We document the separation with photos so you can see it.
- Heavy cedar pollen loading on coils. Mountain cedar season runs December through February, and in Converse it coincides with heating season. Pollen gets drawn through the return, packs onto the evaporator coil, and bakes on over the summer. By August, that coil is a mat. We clean it and apply Guardsman coil treatment so the next load doesn’t bond as tightly.
- Insulation and dust infiltration from attic hatches and returns. Many Converse homes have return air paths that pull from the attic chase or a hallway grate near the hatch. When attic insulation gets disturbed, it drifts into the return. We photograph what’s in the plenum and register boxes so you can see what your lungs have been filtering.
Common HVAC Cleaning Problems We See in Converse Homes
We pulled the blower motor from a 1988-built rental off Toepperwein Road near Randolph AFB and found the evaporator coil so matted with cedar pollen and construction dust that supply airflow was down nearly 40%. Using negative pressure and HEPA filtration, we performed source removal on the supply and return ducts, then cleaned the coil and blower wheel. The new tenant noticed the difference within the first evening. That’s a typical Converse story: a system that ran decades without documented cleaning, now moving air again.
Pricing for HVAC Cleaning in Converse, TX
A full HVAC cleaning in Converse runs $420 to $780 for a typical single-system home. That includes source removal on supply and return ducts, blower cleaning, air handler cabinet cleaning, and the documented photo record. Evaporator coil cleaning adds $150 to $325 depending on access; attic air handlers with tight clearance run toward the upper end. Condenser cleaning adds $120 to $200. What changes the total: the number of returns, whether the coil has to be pulled for access, and how much the attic insulation has shifted. You’ll get one written price per system before work begins, under Haven Standard Clause 1. If you have a competitor’s written estimate, bring it. We’ll put our number next to it in writing, free.

FAQs - HVAC Cleaning in Converse
Every 12 to 18 months. Dust from unpaved roads and open land east of Converse loads the return side of the system faster than in neighborhoods with fully paved streets, and the constant AC runtime compounds it. If you’re off FM 1516 or on an acreage lot, leaning toward the shorter interval is realistic.
Yes, and it’s measurable. The return air path draws cedar pollen through the filter gap, and the coil gets coated during the December-through-February heating season. We see coils in Converse that are more pollen than metal. That’s why we document the coil in the photo record before and after cleaning.
Because the inner liner delaminates after 35 to 40 years of thermal cycling, and military rental turnover every two to three years means maintenance gets skipped between tenants. If you have original flexible duct, the issues are structural, not cosmetic. We document liner condition with the camera so you can see what’s actually happening inside the runs.
Yes. Bexar County’s expansive clay soil causes slab movement that pulls flex-duct connections apart at the collars and joints. We find disconnected runs in Converse attics regularly, and the symptom is dust or insulation fibers blowing through specific registers. The fix is reconnection and sealing, documented in the photo record.
No, but it changes routing and scheduling. We schedule Converse jobs in blocks so we’re not charging you for travel time. The written price for the job itself doesn’t change because you’re on the east side of town. What changes is how much more dust and debris the system sees, which is exactly why the documented before-and-after record matters.
