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 Company in Schertz, TX
Air duct cleaning in Schertz typically runs $400 – $800 for a standard single-system home, depending on size and how long it’s been since the last cleaning. What makes Schertz work different is the mix: 1990s starter homes near Wiederstein Elementary, 2000s builds off FM 3009, and newer two-story construction in neighborhoods like Augusta Pointe and The Crossvine all move air differently. Add in cedar pollen, cedar fever season peaking in January, and fine limestone dust from the I-35 corridor, and your ducts collect a specific kind of buildup. We’ll give you a written price before any work starts. Call (737) 727-2314 for a free estimate.
Why Schertz Homes Are Different
Schertz sits close enough to I-35 to collect that fine gray highway dust inside return ducts, especially in two-story homes where the returns pull from upstairs hallways. Cedar pollen is the bigger driver. Schertz homeowners deal with cedar fever for roughly three to four months a year, and a home running heat in January with a leaky return chase will circulate pollen through every room. The housing stock spans several decades, so we see a lot of flex-duct runs in older Ranch-style homes off FM 1518 and rigid metal ducting in newer construction near Clemens High School. Flex duct sags over time, creating low spots where dust and pet hair settle. Those low spots are exactly where we start in most Schertz homes.
The terrain matters too. Schertz sits just east of the Balcones Escarpment, and while it does not have San Antonio’s limestone-heavy soil everywhere, enough caliche runs through the area that HVAC jackets and duct boots pick up a fine white film. Homes near Pickrell Park with mature live oaks also fight oak pollen in early spring. None of this is exotic. It is, however, predictable, and predictability is what lets us give Schertz homeowners a real written price instead of a wide guess.
Our Main Schertz Services
Most calls we get in Schertz start with two jobs: dryer vent cleaning and full air duct cleaning. HVAC cleaning is the third, and it usually comes up when a homeowner sees buildup on the blower wheel or in the coils. Each service has its own page below.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Schertz
Dryer vents fill with lint faster in Schertz homes with longer horizontal vent runs, and that describes most two-story builds where the laundry sits on an interior wall. A clogged vent means longer dry times, a hot dryer cabinet, and a fire risk you should not ignore. We push a rotating brush through the full run and pull the debris out with a HEPA vacuum so it never lands back in your utility room. After the vent is clear, we verify airflow at the exterior termination point. See Dryer Vent Cleaning in Schertz for full pricing and the exact process.
Air Duct Cleaning in Schertz
Full air duct cleaning in Schertz homes usually runs about a half day from containment setup to final photo documentation. We seal each register, connect a Nikro HEPA vacuum for negative-pressure extraction, then send a Rotobrush through the supply and return lines to break loose everything stuck to the duct walls. For most Schertz houses the big culprits are cedar pollen, dust from I-35 traffic, and pet dander from a well-loved indoor dog or cat. See Air Duct Cleaning in Schertz for the walkthrough and a price breakdown by home size.
HVAC Cleaning in Schertz
When your evaporator coil sits in a dark, damp plenum for a few Schertz summers, it grows a film that air does not want to move through. HVAC cleaning means pulling the blower wheel, cleaning the coil, and clearing the condensate pan so the system stops working against itself. We use Abatement Technologies containment when the blower cabinet is in a finished space. If your system short-cycles or you smell a stale sock odor when the AC first kicks on, that is coil buildup. See HVAC Cleaning in Schertz for the full scope.

The two big price movers in Schertz are access and age. A two-story home with the blower in a tight attic knee-wall costs more than a single-story with an easy utility closet. Flex duct from the early 1990s that has sagged badly may need replacement before cleaning makes sense. Whatever the job, you get the same written price before we touch a single vent, and that number does not shift when the tech arrives.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning Company in Schertz
Most Schertz jobs are scheduled within three to five business days. Whole-home duct cleaning with mold containment can add a day or two because the setup takes longer. Call (737) 727-2314 and ask for the next open Schertz route.
Generally no, because duct cleaning happens inside the home or at the exterior vent cap. The only time an HOA gets involved is if a dryer vent terminates on a shared roof and the association requires notification. We will flag that if it applies to your street.
Everything we loosen gets pulled straight into a Nikro HEPA-filtered vacuum under negative pressure. It leaves the house in sealed bags when the job calls for it. Nothing we dislodge is vented back into your living room, and our before-and-after photos show the duct walls, not just a cloudy “after” shot.
