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 Air Duct Cleaning Across Converse
Air duct cleaning in Converse typically runs $350 – $650 for a residential system and $800 – $2,400 for commercial jobs, with most homes in the area needing service every 3 – 5 years due to heavy year-round AC use. We’re the Air Duct Cleaning crew that serves Converse from our San Antonio dispatch office, and we know this market: the post-1990 subdivisions off FM 78 and Gibbs Sprawl Road, the older stock near Converse City Park, and the newer builds going up toward Cibolo. Because Converse’s summers push attic temperatures past 140°F, we see more collapsed flex duct and separated joints here than in cooler markets. That means our crews arrive prepared for duct repair alongside cleaning, not just a vacuum-and-go job. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate.
Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Converse’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
We’ve been part of the Garrison Partners family since 2004, and our Converse customers know what that means: written prices before any work starts, background-checked uniformed technicians, and a 365-Day Done Right Promise backed in writing on every job. When we say we’ll arrive between 8 and 10 a.m., we do. When we quote $475 for a full system cleaning on a three-ton unit, that number doesn’t move when the technician walks through your door.
Our dispatch is coordinated from San Antonio, so Converse homeowners aren’t waiting for a crew to drive up from downtown. We’re typically on-site in Converse within the same morning or afternoon window we quote. We also know the local housing stock: the flexible ductwork in attics above Ridgestone and Kensington subdivisions, the original metal systems in the 1970s homes near the old core, and the multi-system houses going up near Rolling Meadows Drive that need per-system pricing, not a flat-rate guess.
Phones are answered by a live person 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. No voicemail loops. No callback queues. You get a human who can schedule your Converse appointment or answer questions about what the job involves.
Commercial Air Duct Cleaning in Converse
Commercial Air Duct Cleaning in Converse covers office buildings, retail spaces, medical clinics, and multi-tenant properties where the HVAC system runs harder and longer than residential units, and where indoor air quality affects employee health and customer comfort. We use Nikro negative-air machines and Rotobrush rotary brush systems to dislodge and extract debris from commercial ductwork, with HEPA filtration to contain what we remove. A typical commercial job in Converse runs $800 – $2,400 depending on system size, access difficulty, and whether the building has multiple air handlers.
Restaurant and Kitchen Exhaust Systems
Grease-laden exhaust ducts in Converse restaurants near FM 78 require scheduled cleaning to meet fire code and insurance requirements. We clean the full exhaust run from hood to roof penetration, document with photos, and provide written certification for your records.
Medical and Dental Office Protocols
Converse medical practices need duct cleaning that doesn’t introduce contaminants during business hours. We schedule around patient flow, use containment barriers, and verify particle counts post-cleaning so your staff can document the work for compliance.
Air Duct Cleaning Services in Converse
Air Duct Cleaning Services in Converse include full system cleaning of supply ducts, return ducts, and the air handler cabinet, plus video inspection to document what we found and what we removed. A typical residential system in Converse costs $350 – $650; homes with multiple systems or extensive flex duct repair needs may run higher. We don’t price per vent. We price per system, agreed in writing before work starts, because counting vents encourages corner-cutting and surprises nobody wants.
Video Inspection and Documentation
Every Converse job includes before-and-after video or photo documentation from inside your ducts. You see the debris we found, the condition of the duct walls, and the results after agitation and extraction. This matters in Converse, where much of the ductwork is hidden in 140°F attics you’ll never crawl through yourself.
Duct Sealing with Mastic
Where we find separated joints or degraded flex duct collars, we seal with mastic compound, not tape that fails in attic heat. This is standard on Converse jobs because thermal cycling destroys lesser repairs. We price sealing separately, in writing, before we apply it.

Trusted Brands We Service in Converse
Our crews run professional-grade equipment: Rotobrush rotary brush systems for mechanical agitation inside duct walls, Nikro negative-air machines for controlled debris extraction, and filtration products from Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Guardsman. We don’t use hardware-store shop vacs with a brush duct-taped to the hose. For Converse homeowners, this means the same tools commercial crews use, maintained and operated by technicians who can explain what each piece does and why it matters for your specific system. We stock common fittings and flex duct repair parts locally, so when we find separated collars or collapsed insulation jackets in your attic, we fix them same visit rather than ordering parts and rescheduling.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Converse Homes
- Attic flex duct collapses from summer heat. In Converse’s newer subdivisions, attic temperatures regularly exceed 140°F, causing flex duct inner liners to sag and collapse by late summer. Homeowners call us thinking their AC is failing, when it’s actually ductwork blocking airflow to the second floor.
- Metal duct systems in older homes have never been cleaned. The 1970s-era houses near Converse City Park still run original galvanized steel ducts with decades of accumulated debris. Partial cleaning recontaminates quickly; these systems need full source removal.
- Return-side leaks pull attic air into the system. Post-1990 tract homes often have return plenum leaks that suck in insulation fibers, spring oak pollen, and cedar allergens from the attic. This overloads the filter and spreads particles through the supply side.
- Thermal cycling separates duct joints. Daily expansion and contraction from Converse’s extreme attic heat weakens flex duct collars and tape connections. By August, we routinely find joints fully separated, dumping conditioned air into the attic before it reaches any room.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Converse
Yes, we charge per system, not per vent or per square foot. A three-system house in Converse has three separate air handlers, three sets of duct runs, and three times the labor and equipment time. Per-system pricing keeps the math transparent and prevents the corner-cutting that happens when a flat-rate crew rushes through a multi-system job to protect their margin. Call (361) 326-5060 and we’ll price each system separately, in writing, before we start.
You get before-and-after video or still images from inside your ducts, a written summary of what we found and removed, and your copy of the written price agreement with the 365-Day Done Right Promise attached. In Converse’s 140°F attics, where no homeowner should be crawling around to verify our work, this documentation is your proof the job happened and happened right. If anything fails within a year, you have the paperwork to hold us to our promise.
Yes. Attic heat above 140°F degrades flex duct insulation, weakens mastic bonds, and causes thermal expansion that separates joints. Your AC may still blow air, but it’s working harder to push less conditioned air through damaged ducts. We were called to a two-story house off FM 78 near the Converse City Park area where the upstairs system couldn’t hold 78°F by mid-afternoon. A camera inspection of the attic runs showed three flex branches whose inner liners had collapsed from attic heat, plus a separated collar at the air handler plenum dumping cold air straight into the attic. We reconnected and re-insulated the damaged runs, ran agitation tools through the supply and return ducts under negative pressure with HEPA filtration, and the upstairs system pulled down to setpoint for the first time that summer.
Because Converse’s summers are brutal on HVAC systems, often running nonstop for months, so air duct cleaning here isn’t a once-a-year luxury but a peak-season necessity. When a system loses 30% of its airflow to attic leaks, the thermostat never reaches setpoint and the electric bill climbs. Homeowners feel the failure as comfort and cost, not as dust on the furniture. We find the duct problems their AC contractor missed.
Yes. Post-1990 homes with flex ductwork need gentle agitation to avoid tearing the inner liner, plus careful inspection for heat damage. 1970s metal systems can handle more aggressive mechanical brushing but need thorough source removal because decades of debris have compacted on the duct walls. We adjust our approach based on what we find during the initial video inspection, and we explain the difference before we start. Call (361) 326-5060 to schedule.
