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 Cinco Ranch, TX
Whole-system HVAC cleaning and air quality treatment in Cinco Ranch typically runs $400-$900 for most homes, with documented photo records included on every job. Cinco Ranch’s 15-30-year-old flex-duct systems, built during the community’s rapid expansion in the 1990s and 2000s, face accelerated wear from Houston’s 130°F+ attic temperatures and near-constant cooling demand. We quote a written price before any work starts - call (346) 666-7165 for a free estimate.
Why Cinco Ranch Homes Are Different
Cinco Ranch is a master-planned community built almost entirely between the mid-1990s and mid-2000s. The original flex-duct systems in most homes are now 15-30 years old, right at or past typical service life. Houston’s near-year-round cooling demand keeps those systems running 9-10 months annually, while unconditioned attic temperatures regularly exceeding 130°F accelerate insulation breakdown on flex duct.
The community’s large-footprint suburban tract homes, commonly 2,500-4,500 square feet built by Newmark, Village Builders, and Perry Homes, feature multi-zone HVAC systems with extensive flex-duct runs through unconditioned attics. That sheer duct length means debris and microbial loading runs higher than in smaller, older housing.
Sitting in the humid subtropical corridor west of Houston, Cinco Ranch averages over 50 inches of annual rainfall with summer humidity routinely exceeding 85-90%. Mold colonizes inside ductwork, especially around supply boots and return plenums, significantly faster than in drier Texas markets. Hurricane Harvey in August 2017 added another layer: many homes that didn’t visibly flood still experienced attic moisture intrusion and condensation-driven mold inside ducts that went undetected for years.
Our Main Cinco Ranch Services
These are the three services Cinco Ranch homeowners call about most.
Air Duct Cleaning in Cinco Ranch
We clean every duct run with negative-pressure extraction, photographing the inside before and after so you can see the difference between real work and vacuum noise. In Cinco Ranch, we regularly find 3-inch debris build-ups at first elbows and mold staining around supply boots from the area’s sustained humidity. Every job concludes with a Documented Photo Record included as standard. Air Duct Cleaning in Cinco Ranch
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Cinco Ranch
Dryer vent blockages are common in Cinco Ranch’s larger homes where vent runs stretch 20-35 feet through multiple attic bends. We remove lint accumulation with rotary brushes and high-velocity air tools, then verify airflow with a manometer. A written price is delivered before any work starts, per Haven Standard Clause 1.

BeforeAfterHVAC Cleaning in Cinco Ranch
HVAC cleaning in Cinco Ranch addresses systems that have run nearly continuously for 15-30 years in attics hot enough to degrade flex-duct insulation. The combination of aged components, extreme heat, and Houston’s humidity creates a specific maintenance profile: evaporator coils stay wet for months, blower wheels cake with fine particulate, and condensate pans breed microbial growth that circulates through every room. HVAC Cleaning from CleanRun includes full-system photography and a written scope before any work begins.
Evaporator Coil Cleaning
Signs you need it
Ice formation on refrigerant lines, weak airflow from registers, or musty odors when the AC cycles on in Cinco Ranch’s humid months.
What it costs in Cinco Ranch
Evaporator coil cleaning typically runs $250-$450 in Cinco Ranch, depending on accessibility and contamination level.
How we do it
We remove the coil assembly when possible, apply foaming cleaner, rinse with low-pressure water, and photograph before and after condition.
Blower Cleaning
Signs you need it
Vibration or noise from the air handler, uneven heating or cooling across zones, or dust puffing from registers when the system starts.
What it costs in Cinco Ranch
Blower motor and wheel cleaning typically runs $200-$350 in Cinco Ranch homes with multi-zone systems.
How we do it
We remove the blower assembly, clean the wheel with compressed air and solvent, balance the assembly, and document RPM and amp draw.
What HVAC Cleaning Costs in Cinco Ranch
| Item | Typical range in Cinco Ranch |
|---|---|
| Evaporator coil cleaning | $250-$450 |
| Blower cleaning | $200-$350 |
| Full system HVAC cleaning (coil, blower, condenser) | $500-$850 |
How do I know my HVAC was actually cleaned?
CleanRun photographs every component before and after, delivering the images as part of your standard job record - not available upon request, but included automatically. Call (346) 666-7165 to schedule.
Why does my Cinco Ranch home need HVAC cleaning more often than my parents’ house in Dallas?
Houston’s 85-90% summer humidity and 9-10 month cooling season keep coils wet and blowers loaded with particulate far longer than in drier, cooler markets. Call (346) 666-7165 for an assessment.
Air Quality & Sanitizing in Cinco Ranch
Air quality treatment in Cinco Ranch targets microbial growth accelerated by the area’s humidity and the post-Harvey moisture legacy still hiding in attic ductwork. Many homes that never flooded still harbor condensation-driven mold at supply boots and return plenums, circulating spores through living spaces every time the system cycles. Air Quality & Sanitizing from CleanRun includes laboratory-identified treatment agents and post-treatment verification photos.
Mold Treatment
Signs you need it
Visible black or green staining around registers, musty odors that intensify when AC runs, or family members with unexplained respiratory irritation in humid months.
What it costs in Cinco Ranch
Whole-system mold treatment typically runs $600-$1,200 in Cinco Ranch, depending on contamination extent and duct accessibility.
How we do it
We apply EPA-registered antimicrobial through the duct system, treat affected boots and plenums directly, and photograph every treated surface for the job record.
UV Light Installation
Signs you need it
Recurring mold after cleaning, frequent evaporator coil contamination, or desire for continuous microbial suppression without chemical retreatment.
What it costs in Cinco Ranch
UV-C light installation at the coil or return plenum typically runs $400-$750 in Cinco Ranch, including the lamp and electrical connection.
How we do it
We mount a Honeywell or Aprilaire UV lamp at the coil surface, wire to the air handler’s 24V circuit, and verify irradiance with a meter.
What Air Quality & Sanitizing Costs in Cinco Ranch
| Item | Typical range in Cinco Ranch |
|---|---|
| Mold treatment (whole system) | $600-$1,200 |
| UV light installation | $400-$750 |
| Bacteria sanitizing (per system) | $300-$550 |
Is mold in my ducts from Hurricane Harvey?
Possibly. Many Cinco Ranch homes experienced attic moisture intrusion in 2017 that caused slow-growing mold inside ducts, undetected for years. We inspect for this pattern before recommending treatment. Call (346) 666-7165 for a free assessment.
Will UV lights actually prevent mold?
UV-C at the coil surface prevents microbial growth on wet fins, but does not treat existing contamination inside duct runs - we use it as part of a broader protocol, not a standalone fix. Call (346) 666-7165 to discuss your system.
