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 Round Rock
HVAC cleaning in Round Rock typically runs between $375 and $675 for a full system, with evaporator coil cleaning alone priced at $180-$320. Most jobs take three to five hours, and we schedule within the week, not weeks out. If your system has never been opened since the house was built, you’re looking at the higher end because the coil and blower need source-removal work, not a surface wipe. Call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll give you a written price before any panel comes off.
We know Round Rock homes because we work in them constantly: Forest Creek, Teravista, Chandler Creek, Walsh Ranch, and the older sections off Gattis School Road. The housing stock here ages in waves. When a subdivision hits the twenty-year mark, every attic on the street has the same flex duct problems at the same time. That’s not a coincidence; it’s construction history. We know what to look for because we’ve seen it in the house three doors down.
Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Is Round Rock’s Preferred HVAC Cleaning Company
CleanRun has cleaned HVAC systems in over 52,000 homes since 2013, every one with a written price before work started and a documented photo record when the crew left. That matters in Round Rock because this market has a specific problem: tract homes built from the mid-1990s through the 2010s with flexible ducts running through attics that hit 140°F for months at a time. When we open a return plenum in Teravista, we’re not guessing what’s inside. We’re photographing it so you can see it too.
Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and identified by name before they arrive. Every job follows the H.A.V.E.N. Standard, and the license number is published on this page, not buried in a footer. That’s deliberate. You should be able to verify who’s walking into your home and what standard they’re held to before you agree to anything.
We also answer the phone. A live person picks up 24/7, because a blower motor caked with juniper pollen in January doesn’t care about business hours. When you call about HVAC cleaning in Round Rock, you’ll talk to someone who can schedule you, not a call center reading from a script.
Our HVAC Cleaning Services in Round Rock
Here’s what we actually do when we clean an HVAC system in Round Rock. We focus on the components that move and condition your air, because that’s where debris collects and where efficiency dies.
Evaporator Coil Cleaning
The evaporator coil sits inside your air handler and is the thing that makes the air cold. In Round Rock, the AC runs eight to nine months a year, which means this coil is wet from condensation for most of that time. Wet surfaces catch dust. Dust plus moisture forms a film. That film insulates the coil and drops efficiency while raising your electric bill. We remove the coil, apply a professional-grade coil cleaner, and rinse it so air actually passes through again. In homes off Chandler Creek Drive, we routinely find coils so packed with debris that the temperature drop across them is half what it should be.
Blower Cleaning
The blower motor cage is where juniper pollen and fine dust accumulate into a gray paste. During cedar fever season, which peaks December through February in Round Rock, this buildup happens faster than most homeowners realize. We remove the blower assembly, clean the cage vanes with agitation and negative pressure, and photograph the before and after. A clean blower moves more air at lower amperage. A dirty one works harder and dies sooner.
Condenser Cleaning
The condenser is the outdoor unit. In Round Rock, it collects grass clippings, cottonwood, and limestone dust from construction. We clean the fins, clear the debris from the interior of the unit, and check the refrigerant lines for temperature issues. This is straightforward but often neglected, and neglect is expensive.
Air Handler Cleaning
The air handler is the box that holds the coil, blower, and sometimes the heat exchanger. We clean the interior surfaces, drain the pan line, and check for microbial growth. In Round Rock’s humidity, the drain pan can stay wet for weeks. We treat it so it doesn’t become a biology experiment.

We name our tools because you should be able to verify what we’re using.
Common HVAC Cleaning Problems We See in Round Rock Homes
- Juniper pollen paste in the blower cage. Ashe juniper releases ultra-fine pollen from December through February, and standard 1-inch filters don’t stop it. The pollen gets past the filter, hits the wet coil, and turns into a paste that coats the blower vanes. By January, many Round Rock blowers are moving 20-30% less air than designed.
- Flex duct liner separation from 140°F attics. The attic in a Round Rock summer routinely exceeds 140°F. After twenty years of that, the inner liner of flexible ductwork cracks and pulls away from the collar. Cleaning a duct with a separated liner just pulls attic dust into the airstream. We inspect and repair these joints during the same visit.
- Return plenums packed with fine particulate. Homeowners who moved from northern states for Dell or Apple jobs often don’t know to change filters during cedar season. The return plenum becomes a catch basin for juniper pollen that standard vacuuming won’t clear. We source-remove it with negative pressure and agitation tools.
- Microbial growth on the coil and drain pan. Round Rock’s humidity keeps the evaporator coil wet for most of the year. Without regular cleaning, that moisture feeds microbial growth that reduces efficiency and pushes musty air into the living space. We clean and treat the coil so it doesn’t come back within the season.
Pricing for HVAC Cleaning in Round Rock, TX
Here are the numbers, because a written price before any work starts is the whole point. Evaporator coil cleaning in Round Rock runs $180-$320. Blower cleaning runs $130-$240. Condenser cleaning runs $90-$180. Air handler cleaning runs $200-$350. A full system clean, which includes all of the above, runs $375-$675 depending on system size and how much buildup has accumulated over the years.
What affects the price? The age of the home, the condition of the flex ducts, and whether the system has ever been opened before. A 2003 tract home off Chandler Creek Drive that’s never had its return plenum opened is going to need more labor than a 2018 build in Walsh Ranch. When we give you a price, it’s the price.

FAQs - HVAC Cleaning in Round Rock
Round Rock sits in the Ashe juniper belt, which means December through February brings one of the most intense airborne allergen events in the country. The AC runs eight to nine months a year, and the coil stays wet for most of that time. Juniper pollen that gets past the filter sticks to the wet coil and forms a film that insulates it and reduces efficiency. In cities without this pollen load, coils stay cleaner longer. In Round Rock, they don’t. Call (806) 606-6902 for an exact quote. Estimates are free.
Round Rock attics routinely exceed 140°F in summer, and after twenty years of that, the inner liner of flexible ductwork cracks and separates from the collar. When we clean a duct with a separated liner, we risk pulling attic dust and insulation into the airstream. That’s why we inspect the joints and collars before cleaning and repair them on the same visit if needed. A cleaning that ignores this just moves debris around.
No. If the juniper pollen is still packed into the return plenum, fogging just adds a chemical smell on top of the problem. The pollen is still there, and the next cedar season re-aerosolizes the same load. Source removal is what actually works: negative pressure and agitation tools to remove the debris, then a camera inspection so you can see the duct walls are clean, not just wet. Fogging has a place as a secondary step, but it’s not a substitute for cleaning.
You should see bare duct walls, not a film of dust with clean streaks where the vacuum ran. The inside of every duct run should look like the material it’s made from, whether that’s metal or flex liner. You should not see debris at the joints or a gray coating on the bottom of horizontal runs. We photograph every run before and after, and you get those photos as part of the standard job record. If you can’t see the difference, the work wasn’t done.
Because cedar fever season peaks December through February, and many Round Rock homeowners either don’t change their filters during those months or use filters that are too porous to stop fine juniper pollen. The pollen gets past the filter, hits the wet coil, and sticks. Then the blower pulls that pollen-laden air across its vanes, and the stuff builds up fast. By January, a blower that was clean in November is coated with gray paste. We clean it, photograph it, and show you the difference.
What Happens When We Clean a Round Rock HVAC System
Last month our crew cleaned an air handler in a home off Chandler Creek Drive that had never had its return plenum opened since the house was built in 2003. The blower motor cage was coated with a gray juniper-pollen paste, and the supply ducts showed separated flex liner at two collars from years of 140°F attic heat. We used negative pressure and agitation tools to source-remove the debris from the supply and return ducts, then camera-inspected the repaired joints so the homeowner could see the air actually moving at MERV 13 levels for the first time this cedar season.
That’s the job. Not a fogging, not a quick vacuum pass. We open the system, remove what’s actually in there, repair what the attic heat has broken, and show you the photos. We’ve done it this way since 2013, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise means if it’s not right, we make it right, in writing, on every job.
Serving Round Rock Neighborhoods
We work throughout Round Rock: Forest Creek, Teravista, Chandler Creek, Walsh Ranch, Sonoma, Mayfield Ranch, and the neighborhoods along Gattis School Road and Old Settlers Boulevard. The housing stock here is mostly wood-frame, slab-foundation tract construction from the mid-1990s through the 2010s, with flexible ducts in unconditioned attics. When those ducts age out, whole neighborhoods age out together. We’re familiar with the specific layouts and configurations in these subdivisions, which means we know what to expect before we even open the first panel.
Round Rock’s growth tied to Dell Technologies’ headquarters campus in the 1990s and 2000s produced tens of thousands of tract homes whose original flexible ductwork is now hitting the 20-to-30-year mark simultaneously. That’s why so many local HVAC cleaning jobs turn into duct repair calls on the same visit. The cleaning exposes what the attic heat has already broken. We’re prepared for that; we carry the repair materials on the truck.
Call (806) 606-6902 and ask for a written price. You’ll get one before any work starts, and you’ll get a documented photo record when we leave. That’s how HVAC cleaning in Round Rock should work.
