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.

AfterAir Duct Cleaning in Wells Branch, TX
Whole-home HVAC cleaning in Wells Branch typically runs $380-$620 for a standard single-family system, with air quality and sanitizing treatments adding $220-$450 depending on scope. The nearly uniform 1980s-1990s housing stock here means duct systems are aging together, and crews find the same failure patterns - sagging flex duct above master bedrooms, collapsed insulation, pollen-packed plenums - block after block. Call (737) 252-1285 for a written estimate before any work begins.
Why Wells Branch Homes Are Different
Wells Branch is a master-planned community built almost entirely from roughly 1984 to the mid-1990s, meaning virtually every home’s duct system is now 30-40 years old and deteriorating in unison. The original flex duct runs installed during that single-developer era have endured four decades of central Texas attic heat exceeding 130°F, causing widespread insulation breakdown, sagging, and failed joints that are endemic across the neighborhood.
The Austin metro’s mountain cedar (Ashe juniper) pollen season - December through February - is among the most intense in the country, and Wells Branch residents running heat during “cedar fever” season actively pull heavy pollen loads through aging, unclean flex duct. Because multiple streets share near-identical builder floor plans, technicians routinely find the same failure point repeated house after house on the same block, making it one of the most predictable duct failure patterns in the Austin metro.
Our Main Wells Branch Services
Homeowners in Wells Branch call us most often for these three services, each with its own dedicated local page.
Air Duct Cleaning in Wells Branch
We clean the full duct network - supply and return runs, trunk lines, and plenums - using negative-pressure extraction with Rotobrush and Nikro equipment. In Wells Branch, we expect to find collapsed flex duct insulation, heavy cedar pollen deposits in return plenums, and disconnected segments above master bedrooms. Every run is photographed before and after. Air Duct Cleaning in Wells Branch
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Wells Branch
Dryer vent blockages are common in these 30-40 year old homes where original vent routing often exceeds recommended run lengths through hot attics. We clear lint buildup from the dryer connection to exterior termination, verify airflow with a manometer, and photograph the full run. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Wells Branch
Duct Repair & Sealing in Wells Branch
When flex duct insulation has degraded or joints have separated after decades of attic heat, we replace damaged sections with new insulated flex, seal connections with mastic, and pressure-test the system. The homogeneous aging across Wells Branch means we stock the common diameters and fittings these homes require. Duct Repair & Sealing in Wells Branch

BeforeAfterHVAC Cleaning in Wells Branch
Whole-system HVAC cleaning addresses the components air actually passes through: evaporator coils, blowers, condensers, and air handlers. In Wells Branch’s 1980s-1990s homes, these components have operated through 30-40 years of cedar pollen seasons and attic heat cycling, often without documented cleaning. Our HVAC Cleaning service is built for this exact housing stock - we know the common coil locations, blower configurations, and access constraints these builder plans present.
Evaporator Coil Cleaning
Signs you need it
Ice formation on refrigerant lines, weak airflow from registers, or cooling that cannot keep up during August afternoons in Wells Branch.
What it costs in Wells Branch
Evaporator coil cleaning typically ranges $180-$320 for accessible attic-mounted coils common in this neighborhood.
How we do it
We remove the access panel, apply foaming cleaner to the coil fins, rinse with low-pressure water, and photograph the before and after condition for the job record.
Blower Cleaning
Signs you need it
Vibration or noise from the air handler, uneven airflow room to room, or dust puffing from registers when the system cycles on.
What it costs in Wells Branch
Blower assembly cleaning runs $150-$280 for the squirrel-cage blowers standard in these homes.
How we do it
We remove the blower housing, clean the wheel and motor assembly, balance the assembly on reinstallation, and document RPM and amp draw.
What HVAC Cleaning Costs in Wells Branch
| Item | Typical range in Wells Branch |
|---|---|
| Evaporator coil cleaning | $180-$320 |
| Blower assembly cleaning | $150-$280 |
| Full system HVAC cleaning (coil + blower + air handler cabinet) | $380-$620 |
How do I know if my HVAC needs cleaning or full replacement?
If the coil and blower are intact but coated in debris, cleaning restores performance. If the air handler cabinet is rusted through or the heat exchanger is cracked, replacement is necessary - we document both conditions photographically and provide a written scope for either path. Call (737) 252-1285 for an assessment.
Can HVAC cleaning reduce my summer electric bills in Wells Branch?
Yes - a clean evaporator coil and blower move air efficiently, reducing run time. In homes with 30-year-old systems, we typically measure restricted airflow before cleaning and improved static pressure after. Call (737) 252-1285 to schedule.
Air Quality & Sanitizing in Wells Branch
Air quality treatments target what cleaning leaves behind: microbial growth in damp coil plenums, bacteria in condensation pans, and persistent odors from decades of accumulated organic material. In Wells Branch’s aging flex duct systems, we find that pollen and debris create nutrient beds where mold can establish, especially where attic heat has degraded the duct’s inner lining. Our Air Quality & Sanitizing service applies EPA-registered treatments with documented application records.
Mold Treatment
Signs you need it
Musty odor when the system runs, visible growth on register surfaces, or respiratory symptoms that worsen at home during Wells Branch’s humid summer months.
What it costs in Wells Branch
Whole-system mold treatment ranges $280-$450 for the standard duct configurations found in these homes.
How we do it
We apply an EPA-registered antimicrobial fog throughout the duct network, treat the evaporator plenum directly, and provide a dated application record with before photos.
UV Light Installation
Signs you need it
Recurring mold after treatment, chronic allergy symptoms during cedar season, or a coil that requires annual cleaning to maintain efficiency.
What it costs in Wells Branch
UV-C light installation at the coil or air handler runs $320-$580 including the lamp, housing, and electrical connection.
How we do it
We mount a Honeywell or Aprilaire UV lamp in the supply plenum, wire to the blower circuit for automatic operation, and verify irradiance with a meter.
What Air Quality & Sanitizing Costs in Wells Branch
| Item | Typical range in Wells Branch |
|---|---|
| Mold treatment (whole system) | $280-$450 |
| UV light installation | $320-$580 |
| Combined treatment + UV package | $520-$850 |
Is mold treatment safe for pets and kids?
We use EPA-registered products applied to manufacturer specifications with prescribed re-entry times; we document the product label, application rate, and safe re-entry time on every job record. Call (737) 252-1285 for specifics.
How long does UV light last before replacement?
UV-C lamps degrade to ineffective output after roughly 9,000 hours - about 12 months of continuous operation - and we note the installation date and expected replacement month on the written job record. Call (737) 252-1285 to schedule replacement.

We stock parts and service equipment from Honeywell, Aprilaire, and other major manufacturers common in 1980s-1990s installations. Most replacement components for Wells Branch’s aging systems are available without extended ordering delays. See our brands for the full roster.
