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.

Why Houston Homes Are Different
Houston’s subtropical humidity averages above 70% relative humidity year-round, and with 10 to 11 months of continuous AC operation, condensation cycles inside ductwork never really stop. That makes microbial contamination, not simple dust, the primary concern in Houston ducts. In Spring Branch, Meyerland, and Alief, we regularly find 1960s-1980s ranch homes with original flex duct in unconditioned attics that hit 140-160°F in summer, cooking mastic seals until they crack and pulling blown fiberglass into the supply air. After Hurricane Harvey, neighborhoods like Meyerland and Kingwood saw ductwork submerged and never professionally remediated; we still test systems that look fine from the register but harbor sewage-associated mold species inside the flex liner. The Gulf Coast’s 70-75°F summer dew points mean any duct leak in an attic lets saturated air hit cold metal, condense, and feed colonies that return regardless of cleaning frequency until the leak is sealed.
Our Main Houston Services
Homeowners in Houston call us most often for these three services, each with its own dedicated Houston page.
Air Duct Cleaning in Houston
Full-system negative-pressure extraction for supply and return ductwork, with rotary brush agitation through every run and a documented photo record of before-and-after conditions inside each line. In Houston, we almost always pair this with antimicrobial treatment because humidity makes surface disinfection necessary, not optional. Air Duct Cleaning in Houston
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Houston
Complete vent line cleaning from appliance to termination, with airflow testing before and after. Houston’s humidity causes lint to cling and compact in longer vent runs common in patio-home and townhome construction, increasing fire risk and drying times. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Houston
Duct Repair & Sealing in Houston
Mastic sealing, flex duct replacement, and metal repair for attic systems degraded by Houston’s thermal extremes. We seal leaks that feed mold and restore conditioned-air delivery to rooms that never cool evenly. Duct Repair & Sealing in Houston

BeforeAfterHVAC Cleaning in Houston
Houston’s nonstop AC season means evaporator coils, blowers, and condensate pans operate under biological load that drier cities never see. A coil that looks clean can test positive for mold; a blower wheel can lose 30% of its airflow capacity to biofilm without the homeowner noticing until rooms stop cooling evenly. We clean the full HVAC system as an integrated unit, not a collection of parts, because Houston’s humidity connects every component to the same moisture problem. Our HVAC Cleaning service is built for this climate.
Evaporator Coil Cleaning
Signs you need it
Rooms cooling unevenly, musty odor when AC cycles on, or visible mold on the coil fins through the access panel.
What it costs in Houston
Evaporator coil cleaning in Houston typically ranges from $250 to $450.
How we do it
We apply foaming cleaner, agitate with soft brushes, rinse with low-pressure water, and document the coil condition before and after.
Blower Cleaning
Signs you need it
Reduced airflow at registers, longer cooling cycles, or dust puffing from vents when the system starts.
What it costs in Houston
Blower cleaning in Houston typically ranges from $200 to $350.
How we do it
We remove the blower assembly, clean the wheel and housing with compressed air and solvent, balance the assembly, and photograph the debris removed.
What HVAC Cleaning Costs in Houston
| Item | Typical range in Houston |
|---|---|
| Evaporator coil cleaning | $250 - $450 |
| Blower cleaning | $200 - $350 |
| Full system cleaning (coil + blower + pan + lines) | $400 - $900 |
How do I know my HVAC needs cleaning, not just my ducts?
If rooms cool unevenly or you smell must when the AC starts, the problem is likely the coil or blower, not the ductwork. We inspect both and show you what the camera finds before quoting.
Does HVAC cleaning help with Houston humidity?
It removes the biofilm and mold that humidity feeds, but sealing duct leaks is what stops the moisture source. We check for leaks during every HVAC cleaning and quote sealing separately if needed.
Air Quality & Sanitizing in Houston
Houston’s humidity makes antimicrobial treatment standard, not supplemental, for any duct or HVAC cleaning that intends to last. In flooded neighborhoods and older suburbs alike, we test and treat for mold species and bacterial contamination that survive surface cleaning. Our Air Quality & Sanitizing service applies EPA-registered products with documented application records.
Mold Treatment
Signs you need it
Musty odor, visible growth near registers, or post-flood ductwork that was never professionally remediated.
What it costs in Houston
Mold treatment in Houston typically ranges from $300 to $600.
How we do it
We apply EPA-registered antimicrobial through the full duct system, fog the plenum and air handler, and deliver a treatment record with photos.
UV Light Installation
Signs you need it
Recurring mold after cleaning, or a coil that needs annual treatment to stay clean.
What it costs in Houston
UV light installation in Houston typically ranges from $400 to $800.
How we do it
We mount a UV-C lamp in the supply plenum, wire it to the blower circuit, and show you the installed position in your photo record.
What Air Quality & Sanitizing Costs in Houston
| Item | Typical range in Houston |
|---|---|
| Mold treatment (whole system) | $300 - $600 |
| UV light installation | $400 - $800 |
| Bacteria sanitizing add-on | $150 - $300 |
Is mold treatment necessary after every duct cleaning in Houston?
We recommend it in most Houston jobs because humidity recolonizes cleaned surfaces within months without antimicrobial protection. We test and show you the results before recommending treatment.
Will UV lights actually prevent mold in Houston’s humidity?
UV-C at the coil surface prevents the biofilm buildup that humidity feeds, but it does not seal duct leaks. We install lamps as part of a system approach, not a standalone fix.
Brands We Service in Houston
We stock parts and service systems from Honeywell, Aprilaire, and other major manufacturers. Most filter media, UV lamps, and sanitizer cartridges are available same-day through our Houston office. See our brands for the full list.
