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 Lago Vista, TX
HVAC cleaning in Lago Vista runs $320-$580 for a whole-system job, with air quality and sanitizing adding $180-$420 depending on whether mold treatment or UV installation is needed. The cedar pollen that defines winter here, combined with attic ductwork that bakes above 140°F through July and August, creates a specific set of problems we document on every visit. Call (737) 252-1285 for a written price before any work starts.
Why Lago Vista Homes Are Different
Lago Vista sits in the densest part of the Ashe juniper belt, and the December-February cedar pollen season loads HVAC systems with allergens that recirculate for months. The city’s housing splits between 1960s-1980s lake cabins and 2000s-2020s custom builds on steep limestone lots, nearly all with attic ductwork exposed to extreme heat. That heat degrades flex-duct insulation and opens seams, letting cedar debris, dust, and rodents into the system.
The Lake Travis humidity gradient matters too. Lakeside homes draw enough moisture for mold growth inside ducts; uphill homes pull in fine limestone dust that packs into duct lining. This dual threat shifts block by block with elevation. Many properties are second homes or vacation rentals that sit empty for weeks, then run hard during holiday arrivals that coincide with peak cedar season. Pre-arrival cleaning before December or Memorial Day is a recurring request we plan for.
Our Main Lago Vista Services
These are the three services Lago Vista homeowners call about most often.
Air Duct Cleaning in Lago Vista
We clean the full duct network, from plenum (the main distribution box) through every duct run to each register, using negative-pressure extraction with Rotobrush and Nikro equipment. Every run is photographed before and after. Cedar pollen, limestone dust, and rodent debris are the usual findings here. Air Duct Cleaning in Lago Vista
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Lago Vista
Lint accumulation accelerates in lake homes where dryers work harder against humidity. We clean the full vent path to exterior termination, check airflow with a manometer, and photograph the blockage before removal. Steep rooflines here often mean long vent runs that need rotary brushing. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Lago Vista
Duct Repair & Sealing in Lago Vista
Attic heat in Lago Vista destroys flex-duct seams and insulation. We replace damaged sections, seal leaks with mastic, and verify with pressure testing. Every repair scope is written and priced before work begins. Duct Repair & Sealing in Lago Vista

BeforeAfterHVAC Cleaning in Lago Vista
HVAC cleaning in Lago Vista addresses what the climate and housing stock produce: evaporator coils clogged with cedar pollen and limestone dust, blowers coated in debris from attic infiltration, and condensers struggling against Hill Country dust. The 2000s-2020s exurb homes often have systems that were never properly maintained through their first decade. We document every component with before-and-after photography. HVAC Cleaning covers our full methodology.
Evaporator Coil Cleaning
Signs you need it
Ice on the coil, weak airflow from registers, or a musty smell when the AC cycles on.
What it costs in Lago Vista
Evaporator coil cleaning typically runs $180-$340.
How we do it
We access the coil through the plenum, apply foaming cleaner, rinse with low-pressure water, and photograph the fins before and after.
Blower Cleaning
Signs you need it
Vibration noise, uneven airflow between rooms, or dust puffing from registers at startup.
What it costs in Lago Vista
Blower cleaning typically runs $140-$260.
How we do it
We remove the blower assembly, clean the wheel and housing with compressed air and solvent, balance the assembly, and reinstall with torque verification.
What HVAC Cleaning Costs in Lago Vista
| Item | Typical range in Lago Vista |
|---|---|
| Evaporator coil cleaning | $180-$340 |
| Blower cleaning | $140-$260 |
| Condenser cleaning | $120-$220 |
How do I know my HVAC needs cleaning, not just my ducts?
If rooms cool unevenly, the system runs longer than it used to, or you smell must when the AC starts, the coil or blower is likely clogged. We inspect both during every duct cleaning and show you the photo evidence.
Can HVAC cleaning reduce my summer electric bill in Lago Vista?
Yes. A clean coil and blower move air efficiently, which reduces runtime. In Lago Vista’s 100°F-plus summers, that difference shows on the bill. Call (737) 252-1285 for a written estimate.
Air Quality & Sanitizing in Lago Vista
Air quality and sanitizing in Lago Vista targets the two problems the terrain creates: mold in lakeside ducts from Lake Travis humidity, and cedar pollen residue that standard cleaning leaves behind. The second-home pattern means systems sit stagnant, then get blasted on arrival, recirculating whatever grew or settled in the off weeks. Air Quality & Sanitizing details our full protocol.
Mold Treatment
Signs you need it
Visible black or green growth at registers, a wet-cardboard smell, or allergy symptoms that worsen when the system runs.
What it costs in Lago Vista
Mold treatment typically runs $280-$520.
How we do it
We apply an EPA-registered antimicrobial through the duct system, treat the plenum and coil pan, and verify with post-treatment moisture readings.
UV Light Installation
Signs you need it
Recurring mold despite cleaning, or a household member with severe allergy or respiratory sensitivity.
What it costs in Lago Vista
UV light installation typically runs $340-$620.
How we do it
We mount a Honeywell or Guardsman UV-C lamp in the supply plenum, wire to the blower circuit, and verify irradiance with a meter.
What Air Quality & Sanitizing Costs in Lago Vista
| Item | Typical range in Lago Vista |
|---|---|
| Mold treatment | $280-$520 |
| UV light installation | $340-$620 |
| Bacteria sanitizing | $180-$340 |
Is mold in ducts common in Lago Vista lake homes?
Yes. Proximity to Lake Travis creates humidity pockets in ductwork, especially in homes that sit closed up for weeks. We find mold in roughly half the lakeside systems we inspect.
Does UV light actually prevent mold, or just slow it?
Properly installed UV-C at sufficient irradiance prevents mold growth on the coil and in the plenum. It does not clean existing debris, so we pair it with thorough cleaning first. Call (737) 252-1285 for a written scope and price.
