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 Santa Fe, TX
HVAC cleaning in Santa Fe typically runs $380-$620 for a full system, with air quality and sanitizing work adding $220-$480 depending on contamination level. We’re CleanRun Duct Repair & Cleaning, and our crews work Santa Fe homes built on slab foundations with flexible duct systems that trap moisture differently than hard-pipe metal. Call (346) 253-1822 for a written price before any work starts.
Why Santa Fe Homes Are Different
Santa Fe sits in Galveston County roughly 35 miles southeast of Houston, in one of the highest-humidity corridors in Texas. Ambient relative humidity routinely exceeds 80%, and that moisture condenses inside flex ductwork year-round, accelerating mold colonization faster than drier inland markets even a county away.
The housing stock tells the rest of the story. Most Santa Fe homes are 1970s-1990s ranch-style builds or later subdivisions, nearly all on slab foundations with flexible duct systems rather than hard-pipe metal. Flex duct sags, traps debris, and holds moisture. After Hurricane Harvey in 2017, many homes were gut-renovated - new drywall, flooring, even HVAC units - but the original flex runs stayed in place. Technicians regularly find black mold and flood-silt residue still coating duct interiors that renovation crews never touched. No neighboring inland city carries this specific contamination profile at the same scale.
Our Main Santa Fe Services
Homeowners in Santa Fe call us most often for these three jobs.
Air Duct Cleaning in Santa Fe
We clean the full supply and return network with negative-pressure extraction, photographing every duct run before and after. In Santa Fe, we expect to find post-Harvey sediment in flex duct that survived the renovation wave. Air Duct Cleaning in Santa Fe includes the documented photo record as standard.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Santa Fe
Lint accumulation in dryer vents is a fire hazard, and Santa Fe’s humidity makes clumps stick harder. We run a rotary brush through the full vent line and check exterior termination. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Santa Fe is quoted with a written price before we start.
Duct Repair & Sealing in Santa Fe
Flex duct in Santa Fe homes sags, separates at collars, and leaks conditioned air into attics or wall cavities. We repair or replace damaged runs and seal connections with mastic. Duct Repair & Sealing in Santa Fe restores system efficiency.

BeforeAfterHVAC Cleaning in Santa Fe
Santa Fe’s slab-on-grade ranch homes with original flex duct create a specific maintenance problem: the air handler and coil sit in a humid environment, often in a closet or garage, while the distribution system overhead traps condensation. HVAC Cleaning addresses both sides of that loop. We regularly open units in Santa Fe and find evaporator coils coated with a layer of gray sludge - a mix of dust mite debris, pollen, and post-Harvey microbial growth that no filter stops completely.
Evaporator Coil Cleaning
Signs you need it
Ice on the coil, weak airflow from registers, or a musty smell when the AC cycles on.
What it costs in Santa Fe
Evaporator coil cleaning in Santa Fe typically runs $180-$320.
How we do it
We remove the access panel, apply foaming cleaner to the coil fins, rinse with low-pressure water, and photograph the before and after condition.
Blower Cleaning
Signs you need it
Vibration noise from the air handler, uneven airflow room to room, or dust puffing from registers at startup.
What it costs in Santa Fe
Blower cleaning in Santa Fe typically runs $140-$260.
How we do it
We pull the blower assembly, clean the squirrel cage and motor housing, balance the fan, and reinstall with a photo record of the cleaned components.
What HVAC Cleaning Costs in Santa Fe
| Item | Typical range in Santa Fe |
|---|---|
| Evaporator coil cleaning | $180-$320 |
| Blower cleaning | $140-$260 |
| Full HVAC system cleaning | $380-$620 |
How do I know my HVAC needs cleaning?
Musty odors, visible dust at registers, or reduced airflow are clear indicators. In Santa Fe, we also check for post-Harvey contamination in older flex systems. Call (346) 253-1822 for an inspection with a written quote.
Will cleaning improve my energy bills?
Clean coils and blowers move air more efficiently, which can reduce runtime. We document the before condition so you can see what was restricting flow. Call (346) 253-1822 to schedule.
Air Quality & Sanitizing in Santa Fe
Santa Fe’s 80%+ humidity and flood-era flex duct create ideal conditions for mold and bacteria colonization. Air Quality & Sanitizing targets the microbial load that standard duct cleaning leaves behind. We treat Santa Fe homes where the camera shows active mold growth on duct interiors, especially in properties renovated after 2017 with new surfaces but original ductwork.
Mold Treatment
Signs you need it
Black or green staining visible at register openings, a persistent earthy smell, or respiratory symptoms that worsen when the system runs.
What it costs in Santa Fe
Mold treatment in Santa Fe typically runs $280-$520 depending on affected duct length.
How we do it
We apply an EPA-registered antimicrobial through the duct system, let it dwell per manufacturer spec, then extract residue and photograph treated runs.
UV Light Installation
Signs you need it
Recurring mold after treatment, or a home with chronic humidity issues that maintenance alone won’t fix.
What it costs in Santa Fe
UV light installation in Santa Fe typically runs $320-$580 including the lamp and power supply.
How we do it
We mount a UV-C lamp in the supply plenum, wire to the air handler’s 24V circuit, and show you the installation point in your photo record.
What Air Quality & Sanitizing Costs in Santa Fe
| Item | Typical range in Santa Fe |
|---|---|
| Mold treatment | $280-$520 |
| UV light installation | $320-$580 |
| Full air quality package | $450-$780 |
Is mold treatment safe for my family?
We use EPA-registered products applied with the system off, then ventilate before restart. No occupancy during treatment, and we document the application in your job record. Call (346) 253-1822 for specifics.
Will UV lights kill all mold in my ducts?
UV-C prevents new growth on illuminated surfaces but doesn’t reach shadowed areas or existing deep contamination. We pair it with physical cleaning for existing problems. Call (346) 253-1822 to assess your system.
