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 Air Duct Cleaning Across Cibolo
Air duct cleaning in Cibolo typically runs $350 – $650 for a full residential system, and most jobs are scheduled within a week of your call. If you’re noticing dust settling faster than it should, rooms that won’t hold temperature, or allergy symptoms that spike when the AC kicks on, your ductwork is likely circulating more than just conditioned air.
We serve Cibolo from our San Antonio dispatch office, and our crews know the local housing stock cold. We’ve cleaned ducts in brand-new subdivisions off FM 78 where drywall dust still coats the registers, and in early-2000s homes near Green Valley Road where original flex duct has started to fail at the joints. That local familiarity matters. It means we show up with the right equipment for your specific system, not a one-size-fits-all approach. Call us at (361) 326-5060 to get a written estimate before any work begins.

Vent Cleaning in Cibolo
Vent Cleaning in Cibolo addresses the supply and return registers where your conditioned air enters and exits your living spaces. Over time, these vents collect dust, pollen, pet dander, and construction debris that restricts airflow and recirculates particulates every time your blower cycles. In Cibolo’s climate, where HVAC systems run nearly year-round, that accumulation happens faster than homeowners expect.
A typical vent cleaning for a Cibolo home runs $150 – $300 as a standalone service, or it’s included in our full-system cleaning package. We remove each register, clean the boot and first few feet of duct behind it, and HEPA-vacuum the surrounding area before reinstalling. For homes near Green Valley Road or in newer subdivisions along FM 78, we often find construction debris that was never cleared before move-in.
Supply Vent Focus
Supply vents push cooled or heated air into your rooms. When they’re clogged with dust or blocked by debris, you get weak airflow and uneven temperatures. We clean the full boot depth and inspect for obstructions that basic surface cleaning misses.
Return Vent Deep Clean
Return vents pull air back to your air handler, so they’re your system’s intake filter. A dirty return vent forces your blower to work harder and can harbor mold in Cibolo’s humid summers. We clean the grille, the box behind it, and the connecting ductwork.
Air Duct Repair in Cibolo
Air Duct Repair in Cibolo often goes hand-in-hand with cleaning, because what’s the point of clearing dust from ducts that are still leaking or disconnected? We pulled up to a two-story home off Green Valley Road where the homeowner complained that one upstairs bedroom never cooled; camera inspection showed a crushed, disconnected flex run buried under blown insulation and joints sealed with nothing but tape that had dried out. We ran the Rotobrush under negative pressure, reconnected and mastic-sealed the branch, then HEPA-filtered the return and air handler cabinet – the room hit setpoint that evening.
Typical duct repair in Cibolo ranges from $200 – $500 for reconnecting and sealing disconnected runs, to $800 – $1,500 for replacing crushed or deteriorated flex duct sections. We always inspect with a camera before quoting, so you see what we see. The price is written down before any repair work starts.
Disconnected Run Reconnection
Taped joints in original flex duct dry out and fail, especially in Cibolo’s attic heat. We reconnect with mechanical fasteners and seal with mastic, which stays flexible and airtight for years. This is the most common repair we find in early-2000s Cibolo homes.
Crushed Duct Replacement
Flex duct crushed by storage items, insulation, or improper installation can’t be cleaned back to health. We replace the damaged section with new, properly supported flex duct and seal all connections. The improvement in airflow is immediate and measurable.
Trusted Brands We Service in Cibolo
We clean and service ductwork connected to all major HVAC brands, and we stock filtration products from Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Guardsman for Cibolo customers who want to upgrade while we’re on site. Our equipment roster includes Rotobrush rotary brush systems and Nikro negative-air machines – the same tools commercial crews use, not hardware-store gear. If your system needs a filter upgrade or your air handler cabinet needs sealing after cleaning, we can typically complete that work the same visit without a return trip.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Cibolo Homes
- Construction debris in new builds. Homes in fast-growing Cibolo subdivisions along FM 78 often have drywall dust, wood scraps, and insulation left in ducts from the build process. The blower motor runs dusty from day one, and standard furnace filters can’t catch what’s already inside the ductwork.
- Failed taped joints in early-2000s flex duct. Original flex duct in Cibolo’s older homes was sealed with tape that degrades after 15 – 20 years. A standard cleaning loosens dust that simply re-settles because the runs are still leaking at every joint.
- Biological growth from humidity and pollen. Cibolo’s humid subtropical climate plus heavy oak and cedar pollen creates conditions where mold and mildew can colonize the air handler coil and inner duct liner. Surface wiping ignores the problem; proper cleaning requires negative-air extraction and antimicrobial treatment.
- Crushed or disconnected attic runs. Two-story Cibolo homes with flexible ductwork in attics often have runs that were improperly supported or crushed by subsequent insulation work. The result is rooms that never reach setpoint and energy bills that climb for no obvious reason.

A two-story home with attic ductwork takes longer than a single-story with a crawl space. New builds with construction debris require more aggressive agitation.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Cibolo
The original flex duct in these homes was sealed with tape that degrades after 15 – 20 years, so the joints are leaking even if the ducts look intact. We routinely find that a standard clean just loosens dust that re-settles because the runs are still open. The real fix is reconnecting and mastic-sealing the branches, then cleaning the sealed system. Call (361) 326-5060 and we’ll inspect with a camera to show you exactly what’s happening in your attic.
Yes. Construction debris including drywall dust, wood scraps, and insulation is often left in supply and return ducts during the build, and the HVAC contractor’s rough clean doesn’t reach the branch lines. We’ve cleaned new Cibolo homes where the blower motor was circulating visible dust from day one. A post-construction duct cleaning removes this debris before it embeds in your system. We can schedule an inspection to confirm what you’re dealing with.
Cibolo’s long cooling season and high humidity mean most HVAC systems run 10 – 12 months per year, accelerating dust accumulation and creating conditions for mold growth. The area’s heavy oak, cedar, and grass pollen in spring and fall also infiltrates duct systems through return air pathways. Most Cibolo homeowners benefit from cleaning every 3 – 5 years, or sooner if allergy symptoms worsen or visible dust increases. Homes with pets or recent construction may need more frequent service.
We remove dust, pollen, pet dander, construction debris, mold spores, and biological growth from the interior surfaces of your ductwork. Our process uses a Rotobrush rotary brush system under negative air pressure from a Nikro machine, so loosened debris is captured at the source rather than redistributed. We also HEPA-filter the air handler cabinet and return plenum. After cleaning, you’ll see before-and-after photos of your own ducts, not stock images.
Yes, if your dryer vent hasn’t been cleaned in the last year. Cibolo’s humidity can cause lint to clump and stick in longer vent runs, and the extended cooling season means many homeowners run dryers more frequently. A clogged dryer vent is a genuine fire hazard and forces your dryer to work harder. We can add dryer vent cleaning to your duct cleaning appointment, typically for an additional $100 – $175 depending on vent length and accessibility. Ask when you call (361) 326-5060.
