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.
Fast, Reliable Air Duct Cleaning Across Somerset
Air duct cleaning in Somerset, TX typically runs $350 – $650 for a whole-home system, and most jobs are scheduled within a few days of your call. We’re Hollis Air Duct Cleaning, and our crews cover Somerset from our San Antonio dispatch office, carrying Rotobrush rotary systems and Nikro negative-air equipment to handle the heavy caliche dust that defines this market. If you’re noticing dust settling faster than it should, uneven airflow to rooms, or your HVAC filter clogging in weeks instead of months, your ductwork is telling you something. Call us at (361) 326-5060 for a free written estimate, or read on to see what Somerset homeowners should know before hiring any duct cleaning company.
Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Somerset’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
Somerset sits in Bexar County’s southwest corridor where the local caliche soil and frequent windy days push fine dust and limestone grit into HVAC systems, so duct cleaning here often involves heavy mineral particulate extraction rather than just lint and dander. We’ve been on enough Somerset jobs to know the difference between standard dust loads and the gritty buildup that comes off County Road 471 or blows in from neighboring acreage during a dry March.
Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and held to The Garrison Code, which means arriving inside the quoted window, pricing in writing before any equipment touches your home, and leaving the site clean. Every job carries our 365-Day Done Right Promise: if the work fails within a year, we return and make it right at no charge, including a free second visit. No negotiation, no runaround.
Phones are answered by a live person 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. When you call (361) 326-5060, you reach someone who can schedule your Somerset appointment, not a callback queue that disappears into voicemail.
Ductwork Cleaning in Somerset
Ductwork Cleaning in Somerset requires equipment aggressive enough to dislodge caliche particulate without damaging the flex duct and fiberboard runs common in local homes from the 1980s through the early 2000s. A typical residential ductwork cleaning in Somerset runs $350 – $550 for a single-system home, with larger custom builds or homes with multiple zones reaching $550 – $650. Most Somerset homeowners schedule this every 3 – 5 years, though homes on unpaved roads or with heavy HVAC use may need it sooner.
Rotary Brush Method
Our Rotobrush system sends a rotating brush head through each supply and return line, physically knocking loose buildup that compressed air alone won’t touch. In Somerset, this matters because caliche dust cakes onto duct walls and needs mechanical agitation. We follow with vacuum extraction so nothing migrates into your living space.
Negative-Air Cleaning
For homes with significant contamination or after construction work, we deploy Nikro negative-air machines that maintain constant suction at the main trunk while tools clean each branch. This prevents debris from escaping into your Somerset home during the process. It’s the same approach commercial crews use, scaled to residential systems.
Air Duct Inspection in Somerset
Air Duct Inspection in Somerset is where we document what you’re actually breathing and what your system is working against. A typical video inspection in Somerset costs $150 – $250 as a standalone service, though we waive this fee when you proceed with cleaning. We recommend an inspection if you’ve never had your ducts cleaned, if you recently purchased a home near Somerset Road or Applewhite Road, or if your energy bills have climbed without explanation.
Video Documentation
We feed a camera through your supply and return lines and show you the footage in real time. In Somerset, we regularly point out caliche dust layers, deteriorated fiberboard at connection points, and gaps where flex duct has pulled loose from metal collars. You see what we see. No guesswork.
System Performance Check
Our inspection includes static pressure readings and airflow measurements at each vent. Older Somerset homes with long duct runs often show pressure drops that indicate leaks or blockages. We flag these before cleaning so you’re not paying to clean air that’s escaping into your attic or crawlspace.
Trusted Brands We Service in Somerset
We stock filtration and sealing products from Aprilaire, Abatement Technologies, and Guardsman, and we carry the fittings and adapters needed for repairs common to Somerset’s housing stock. That means when our technician finds a compromised connection in a manufactured home off FM 2790 or deteriorated fiberboard in a 1990s build near the high school, we can often fix it same visit rather than ordering parts and rescheduling. Our equipment roster includes Rotobrush rotary brush systems and Nikro negative-air machines, the same professional-grade tools commercial crews use, maintained to manufacturer spec and explained in plain terms on every job.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Somerset Homes
- Caliche dust saturation. The limestone-rich soil around Somerset pulverizes into fine grit that infiltrates return ducts and coats evaporator coils. Standard filters don’t catch it all, and over time it reduces airflow and forces your compressor to work harder.
- Deteriorated flex duct in manufactured homes. Many Somerset properties include manufactured housing with original flex duct that’s reached end of life. The inner liner tears, the insulation compacts, and connections sag, creating dust collection points and conditioned air loss.
- Rodent intrusion in crawlspace runs. Exposed flex duct in pier-and-beam foundations, common in rural Somerset properties, invites rodents. We find gnawed sections, nesting material, and contamination that requires removal, sealing, and then cleaning.
- Non-standard modifications. DIY duct extensions for room additions or garage conversions often use improper fittings and unsupported sag points. These create turbulence that drops debris and restricts airflow to the far end of the system.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Somerset, TX
Whole-home air duct cleaning in Somerset typically runs $350 – $650 depending on system size, accessibility, and contamination level. A single-system home with standard supply and return lines and a basement or accessible attic usually falls at $350 – $450. Homes with multiple zones, extensive flex duct in crawlspaces, or heavy caliche buildup requiring extra agitation and extraction time run $500 – $650. Commercial systems and larger rural properties on acreage are priced individually after inspection.
We do not quote per-vent pricing. One flat price per system, agreed in writing before work starts. That price does not move at the door. Factors that can push Somerset jobs toward the higher end include: rodent contamination requiring removal before cleaning, collapsed duct sections needing repair, and systems that haven’t been cleaned in 10+ years with significant buildup.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Somerset
We typically schedule Somerset appointments within 2 – 4 business days, and our technicians arrive inside the quoted window. Dispatch is coordinated from our San Antonio office, so we’re not driving in from out of area. Call (361) 326-5060 for next available openings.
We work across Somerset including properties near Somerset Road, Applewhite Road, FM 2790, and the County Road 471 corridor. Rural acreage, manufactured home communities, and custom builds on large lots are all within our normal service area.
We do not classify duct cleaning as an emergency service. If you have an active HVAC failure, water intrusion, or electrical issue, we recommend addressing that first through your HVAC contractor or electrician. Once the system is safe, we can inspect and clean the ductwork.
Somerset jobs often run at the middle to upper end of our range because of longer duct runs, rural access, and the heavy caliche dust loads that require additional extraction time. San Antonio homes with shorter runs and less soil exposure may price lower. We quote each Somerset home individually after understanding the system layout.
Every Somerset job is backed by our 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If the cleaning fails to resolve the documented issue within one year, or if a repair we performed fails, we return and make it right at no charge. This includes a free second visit. The guarantee is not pro-rated and does not require you to purchase additional services.
