We’ve been driving out to Cibolo since long before FM 1103 was four lanes. Back then it was farmland and a few ranch roads. Now we’re pulling up to subdivisions like Copper Creek, Deer Meadow, and Turnberry where the homes are newer, the floor plans are large, and the ductwork tells the same story again and again: construction debris left behind, flex ducts kinked during rushed installation, and mountain cedar pollen loading up the system every winter. Our HVAC Cleaning team knows these houses because we’ve cleaned hundreds of them. We don’t need a second trip. We bring Rotobrush and HEPA vacuum systems that can handle dense particulate without damaging the flexible duct runs that are standard in Cibolo’s 2000s-and-later housing stock.
Why Bellows Air Duct & Vent Co. Is Cibolo’s Preferred HVAC Cleaning Company
Ray Castillo founded Bellows Air Duct & Vent Co. in 1984, and we’ve built our reputation on showing up when we say we will and standing behind the work. In Cibolo, that means understanding the specific problems of fast-built tract homes: drywall dust in return plenums, insulation fibers in vents, and flex ducts that sag or kink because they were installed on tight builder schedules. We’ve cleaned systems in homes off Cibolo Valley Drive and along Borgfeld Road, and the pattern is consistent. We know what to look for.
Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed, and they arrive with camera inspection equipment that lets you see inside your ducts before and after the work. The price we quote on the phone is the price on the invoice. No bait coupons, no add-ons at the door. Our 90-Day Done Right Promise means if something isn’t right, we return at no charge with no paperwork to argue over. That’s been our policy for over 14 years.
Calls are answered by a live person, 24/7. Not a voicemail tree, not an app. When you’re dealing with dust blowing through the house or an HVAC system that can’t keep up in July, you want to talk to someone who can dispatch a technician, not leave a message and hope.
Our HVAC Cleaning Services in Cibolo
Evaporator Coil Cleaning
The evaporator coil sits in your air handler and pulls heat from the air - but in Cibolo, it also pulls mountain cedar pollen from December through February, then switches to pulling dust and construction particulate the rest of the year. A dirty coil can’t transfer heat efficiently, so your system runs longer, your bills climb, and your home never quite cools evenly. We clean the coil with foaming treatment and rinse, then apply a protective coating that slows future buildup. In Cibolo’s climate, where the coil works nearly year-round, this treatment pays for itself in efficiency gains.
Blower Cleaning
The blower motor and wheel push conditioned air through your ductwork. When they’re coated in dust, airflow drops and the motor strains. In Cibolo’s newer homes with long flex duct runs, the blower already works harder than it would in a compact older house. Add construction debris from the build phase, and you’ve got a motor that’s running hot and drawing excess amperage. We remove the blower assembly, clean the wheel and housing, and verify motor amp draw before we finish. It’s part of our standard HVAC cleaning, not an extra.
Condenser Cleaning
Your outdoor condenser coil rejects heat to the outside air. In Cibolo, it sits in a yard that may be adjacent to active construction - new subdivisions going up constantly mean dirt, drywall dust, and grass clippings in the fins. We wash the coil with low-pressure foaming cleaner and straighten any bent fins with a comb tool. A clean condenser runs at lower head pressure, which means lower energy use and less wear on the compressor. For homes near active earthwork off Schaefer Road or Exell Road, we recommend checking the condenser twice yearly.
Air Handler Cleaning
The air handler is the central station of your HVAC system: blower, coil, filter rack, and drain pan all in one cabinet. In Cibolo’s large-footprint tract homes, the air handler is often installed in an attic or closet with limited access, which means it doesn’t get opened often. We find drain pans full of sludge, filters that have been crushed by negative pressure from restricted ductwork, and cabinets lined with the same drywall dust that’s in the ducts. Our air handler cleaning includes the full cabinet interior, drain line flush, and verification that the filter fits properly and isn’t bypassing air. We document everything with before-and-after camera footage.

Trusted Brands We Service in Cibolo
We clean and service equipment from Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Nikro, and we stock common parts so Cibolo homeowners aren’t waiting on a warehouse shipment. Our Rotobrush systems are specified for residential duct cleaning nationwide, and our HEPA vacuums from Abatement Technologies meet the same standards hospitals use for containment. When we clean your system, we use the equipment that serious HVAC contractors specify for their own jobs. That matters in Cibolo, where the heat load is real and a system that can’t breathe will fail before its time.
Common HVAC Cleaning Problems We See in Cibolo Homes
- Construction debris in return plenums. We regularly find drywall dust and insulation fibers in homes built 5-15 years ago, left there because the ducts were open during interior finishing and never properly cleaned before close. Standard vacuums can’t lift this dense material; it takes agitation with a rotating brush and high-volume HEPA extraction.
- Kinked or sagging flex duct. Cibolo’s rapid-growth housing stock relies on long flex duct runs that were often installed with minimal support. The ducts sag, creating low points where dust and moisture collect, and kinks that restrict airflow to distant rooms. We identify these problems during camera inspection and note them for repair.
- Mountain cedar pollen loading coils and filters. Cibolo’s December-February cedar season deposits microscopic pollen that standard filters don’t catch. It accumulates on evaporator coils and blower wheels, forming a mat that reduces efficiency. Coil treatment after cleaning is essential here, not optional.
- Adjacent construction infiltration. New subdivisions breaking ground near established homes mean dust and particulate drawn into outdoor units and through poorly sealed return air pathways. We see this especially in areas east of Cibolo proper where development is still active.

FAQs - HVAC Cleaning in Cibolo
Because the dust source wasn’t in the ducts - it was in the air handler, or the return plenum still held construction debris that a standard vacuum couldn’t extract. We pulled a 2014 tract home in Cibolo’s Copper Creek subdivision where the return plenum still held drywall dust from original construction - our Rotobrush with HEPA vacuum cleared it in one pass, restoring airflow and cutting the homeowner’s energy bill. If your ducts were cleaned but the blower wheel, evaporator coil, or plenum weren’t addressed, the system keeps recirculating particulate. Call (844) 685-6342 and we’ll camera-inspect to find the source.
Yes - Cibolo sits in one of the most severe mountain cedar pollen zones in North America, and the December-February season loads HVAC systems with microscopic allergen particles that standard filters miss. The pollen mats on evaporator coils and blower wheels, then recirculates whenever the fan runs. For households with allergy sufferers, annual HVAC cleaning with coil treatment before cedar season starts is the most effective prevention. We schedule these cleanings in October and November. Call (844) 685-6342 to book ahead.
Probably - Cibolo’s rapid-growth construction means many “new” homes have ducts that were open and unsealed during drywall finishing and insulation work. Technicians working Cibolo’s newer subdivisions regularly find construction-phase drywall dust and insulation fibers still trapped in return plenums of homes that are only 5-10 years old. The system may be young, but it’s been circulating debris since day one. A camera inspection will tell you for certain. Estimates are free - call (844) 685-6342.
Yes - those fibers are typically from construction-phase work where insulation was blown or placed while ducts were open, and they’ve been settling in the system ever since. Our Rotobrush agitation with HEPA vacuum extraction lifts these fibers without pushing them deeper into the ductwork. We see this exact issue in Cibolo tract homes weekly. We’ll camera-inspect first so you see the extent, then clean until the after footage shows clean metal. Call (844) 685-6342 for a free estimate.
The evaporator coil, blower wheel, and return plenum take the worst hit. Cibolo’s near-continuous cooling season means the coil stays wet and sticky for months, trapping pollen and dust. The blower wheel then coats with that same material, reducing airflow. And the return plenum, especially in homes built during the 2000s construction boom, often holds construction debris that never got cleaned out. Our full-system cleaning addresses all three, with camera verification at each stage. Call (844) 685-6342 to schedule.
