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
HVAC cleaning in Wells Branch typically runs $280-$480 for a full system, and most jobs are scheduled within a week during cedar season. We’re CleanRun Duct Repair & Cleaning, and we serve Wells Branch from our Austin office with crews that know the 1980s-90s housing stock here. Call (737) 243-9544 for a written estimate before any work starts.
Why Wells Branch Homes Are Different
Wells Branch is a master-planned community built almost entirely between the mid-1980s and early 1990s, meaning the vast majority of its housing stock is now 30-40 years old and contains original flex ductwork from that era. These duct materials become brittle, sag, and separate at joints after decades of Central Texas heat cycling. Summer attic temperatures in Wells Branch regularly exceed 150°F, and systems run continuously June through September, accelerating dust and debris accumulation far faster than in milder climates.
The December-February mountain cedar bloom, locally called Cedar Fever, drives an annual spike in allergen-related indoor air quality complaints. Return-air grilles pull pollen-laden outside air directly into aging duct systems. Technicians working Wells Branch regularly find that 1980s-90s flex duct has collapsed or disconnected at trunk-line connections in unconditioned attics, meaning customers sometimes cool their attic space for years without knowing it. A duct cleaning visit often becomes the moment that structural failure gets diagnosed.
Our Main Wells Branch Services
Most Wells Branch homeowners call us about these three services, each with its own dedicated page.
Air Duct Cleaning in Wells Branch
We clean the full duct network in Wells Branch homes: supply and return runs, trunk lines, and the plenum (the central distribution box). Given the age of local housing, we often find separated flex duct at attic connections that requires repair before cleaning can be effective. Every job ends with a Documented Photo Record of every run. Air Duct Cleaning in Wells Branch
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Wells Branch
Dryer vent cleaning removes lint buildup from the transition duct, wall run, and exterior termination. In Wells Branch’s older homes, we frequently see vinyl or foil transition ducts that no longer meet code and need replacement. A blocked dryer vent is a fire hazard; we photograph the obstruction and the cleared path. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Wells Branch

BeforeAfterHVAC Cleaning in Wells Branch
HVAC cleaning in Wells Branch means addressing systems that have run hard through 30-40 summers of extreme heat and cedar pollen loads. The evaporator coils, blowers, and condensers in these 1985-1995 installations are often coated with debris that restricts airflow and drives up energy bills. We document every component with before-and-after photos, and we quote a written price before touching any panel. HVAC Cleaning covers our full process.
Evaporator Coil Cleaning
Signs you need it
Ice on the coil, weak airflow from registers, or cooling that can’t keep up with August afternoons in Wells Branch.
What it costs in Wells Branch
Evaporator coil cleaning typically runs $180-$320.
How we do it
We access the coil through the plenum, apply foaming cleaner, rinse with low-pressure water, and photograph the result.
Blower Cleaning
Signs you need it
Dust puffing from registers at startup, uneven room temperatures, or a blower motor that runs louder than it used to.
What it costs in Wells Branch
Blower cleaning and motor inspection typically runs $150-$280.
How we do it
We remove the blower assembly, clean blades and housing, check amp draw, and reinstall with a photo record.
What HVAC Cleaning Costs in Wells Branch
| Item | Typical range in Wells Branch |
|---|---|
| Full HVAC system cleaning | $280-$480 |
| Evaporator coil cleaning | $180-$320 |
| Blower cleaning | $150-$280 |
How do I know my HVAC system needs cleaning?
Dust at registers, musty odors when the system cycles, or energy bills that climb without rate changes all point to dirty components. In Wells Branch, the 30-40 year system age means debris accumulation is likely even without visible signs. Call (737) 243-9544 for an inspection with written findings.
Can HVAC cleaning reduce my cooling costs?
Yes, a clean coil and blower move air more efficiently, which reduces runtime. In Wells Branch’s extreme summer heat, even a 10% efficiency improvement matters. We measure static pressure before and after to document the change.
Air Quality & Sanitizing in Wells Branch
Air quality and sanitizing in Wells Branch addresses the annual Cedar Fever burden and the mold risk from aging duct materials. Mountain cedar pollen peaks December through February, and the original flex duct in these 1985-1995 homes can harbor organic growth where condensation collects in sagging runs. We treat the source, not the symptom, with documented before-and-after verification. Air Quality & Sanitizing details our full approach.
Mold Treatment
Signs you need it
Musty odor at registers, visible growth on vent covers, or allergy symptoms that worsen when the system runs.
What it costs in Wells Branch
Mold treatment for a full duct system typically runs $350-$650.
How we do it
We apply EPA-registered antimicrobial through the duct network, treat the plenum, and deliver lab-verifiable photo documentation.
UV Light Installation
Signs you need it
Recurring mold after treatment, chronic allergy issues, or a system located in a damp crawl space or closet.
What it costs in Wells Branch
UV light installation typically runs $400-$750 including the unit and electrical connection.
How we do it
We mount a UV-C lamp in the supply plenum, wire to the blower circuit, and verify irradiance with a meter.
What Air Quality & Sanitizing Costs in Wells Branch
| Item | Typical range in Wells Branch |
|---|---|
| Mold treatment (full system) | $350-$650 |
| UV light installation | $400-$750 |
| Bacteria sanitizing | $200-$400 |
Does UV light actually kill mold in ducts?
UV-C light at 254 nanometers damages mold DNA and prevents reproduction when properly positioned in the air stream. We install in the supply plenum for maximum exposure and measure output to confirm effective dosage.
How long does mold treatment take?
Most residential mold treatments in Wells Branch take 3-5 hours including application time and drying. We schedule when the household can vacate for the treatment period and return once ventilated.
