Fast, Reliable Air Duct Cleaning Across Boerne
Air duct cleaning in Boerne typically runs $350-$650 for a full residential system, with most jobs completed in a single visit by our background-checked crew. We answer calls live 24 hours a day, and we carry the equipment to handle both the heavy pollen loads of Hill Country acreage homes and the caliche dust problems common in newer 78015 subdivisions.
We’ve been driving out to Boerne since the early years of our company, long before the Esperanza and Mirror Oak master-planned communities changed the 78015 landscape. Our technicians know the difference between a ranch home on FM 474 with original mid-century ductwork and a five-year-old build off Boerne Stage Road with flex duct that never got a post-construction clean. That local knowledge matters because the wrong approach wastes your time and ours. When you call (844) 685-6342, you’ll speak to a live person who can dispatch a crew with the right tools for your specific setup, whether that’s a HEPA vacuum rig from Abatement Technologies for cedar pollen remediation or a Rotobrush system for newer flex duct.
Boerne’s rural properties present a particular challenge that city contractors often miss. Acreage homes frequently have detached workshops, barns with HVAC extensions, or oversized garage spaces with their own air handling. Our Air Duct Cleaning team arrives with commercial-grade equipment and the expectation that we’ll handle everything in one trip. We don’t do callbacks.
Why Bellows Air Duct & Vent Co. Is Boerne’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
Our reputation in Boerne was built slowly, the way reputations ought to be built. Homeowners in the 78006 corridor, particularly around Old San Antonio Road and the historic district, have referred us to neighbors for years. They mention the same things: we showed up when we said we would, we explained the pricing before touching a tool, and we left camera footage of clean ducts they could actually see.
We are not a coupon operation. Our no-hassle upfront pricing means the number you hear on the phone is the number on the invoice. That matters in a market where some competitors advertise $99 whole-house specials, then discover “additional contamination” once they’re in your attic. We’ve heard those stories from Boerne customers who called us second.
Response time to Boerne is typically same-day or next-day, depending on season. Post-cedar-season, which runs roughly late February through April, demand spikes sharply. We add crews during that window because we know what’s coming. Calls are answered by a live person, 24/7, not an app or a voicemail tree. If you need emergency service because storm humidity has triggered mold concerns in your flex ducts, we can prioritize that.
Ray Castillo, who has led this company since its founding in 1984, set the standard we still follow: one honest price, shown before we start, backed by our 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If it’s not right, we make it right. No paperwork, no arguing.
Our Air Duct Cleaning Services in Boerne
Residential Duct Cleaning
Boerne homes divide into two categories with very different needs. The older 78006 stock, ranch homes and historic stone cottages built from the 1950s through 1980s, often has metal ductwork that was never properly sealed to modern standards. Cedar pollen infiltrates these systems through every gap, coating the interior and recirculating for months. Our residential cleaning for these homes includes thorough HEPA vacuuming and seal inspection. The newer 78015 homes, built predominantly 2005-present, use flex ductwork that traps limestone caliche dust from Hill Country lot grading. We see post-construction residue in these systems years after move-in because the original builders skipped proper cleaning.
Commercial Duct Cleaning
Boerne’s commercial base has grown substantially with the retail and medical expansion along Interstate 10. We’ve cleaned ductwork for clinics, retail spaces, and small office buildings throughout the Boerne market. Commercial systems run harder and longer than residential, and our camera inspection process documents condition before and after so facility managers have a record for maintenance logs. Most commercial jobs in Boerne are completed during off-hours to avoid disrupting operations.
Supply Duct Cleaning
Supply ducts deliver conditioned air to your living spaces, which means any contamination there hits you directly. In Boerne, we find supply ducts in older homes coated with a gray film of cedar pollen and limestone dust mixture that standard vacuuming won’t fully remove. Our Rotobrush system agitates this buildup while simultaneous vacuum extraction pulls it out of the system. For newer 78015 homes, we frequently find construction debris in supply lines, drywall particulate that was never cleared before the registers went in.
Return Duct Cleaning
Return ducts pull air back to your HVAC unit, making them the primary entry point for Boerne’s seasonal pollen loads. This is where cedar pollen does its damage. The ultra-fine particles pass through standard filters, coat the return duct walls, and create a reservoir that releases with every system cycle. Our return duct cleaning in Boerne uses HEPA-contained equipment from Abatement Technologies because standard shop-vac methods just redistribute the pollen. We inspect returns with our camera system to verify the coating is gone.
Full System Cleaning
Full system cleaning is what most Boerne homeowners actually need, especially after cedar season or before putting a home on the market. This covers supply ducts, return ducts, the blower assembly, and the plenum connections. On acreage properties with detached workshops or barn HVAC extensions, we include those runs in our scope. One trip, one crew, one price quoted upfront. We serviced a ranch home on FM 474 in the 78006 corridor where a heavy-duty system had accumulated years of cedar pollen and limestone dust in the blower housing. Our crew performed a full-system Rotobrush cleaning with HEPA extraction, inspected the entire configuration with video, and verified operation - all in one visit.
Video Inspection
Every job we do in Boerne includes camera inspection before and after. You see what we see. In the 78015 subdivisions, this often reveals construction debris that homeowners didn’t know was there. In older 78006 homes, it shows the gaps and separations in original ductwork that explain why pollen keeps returning. The video record is yours to keep, and it’s the foundation of our 90-Day Done Right Promise. If we say it’s clean, we can prove it.

Trusted Brands We Service in Boerne
We specify professional-grade equipment because Boerne’s conditions demand it. For duct cleaning, we run Rotobrush agitation systems and HEPA vacuum rigs from Abatement Technologies and Nikro. These are the same brands serious HVAC contractors specify for commercial remediation work. For air quality solutions, we install Aprilaire whole-home filtration and humidity control products sized to handle Hill Country pollen loads. We maintain local parts inventory for faster turnaround on common repairs, and our technicians train on each manufacturer’s service protocols. When you need a component replaced, we don’t order it and make you wait. We fix it and move on.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Boerne Homes
- Cedar pollen saturation in return systems. Boerne sits in the densest concentration of Ashe juniper in the Texas Hill Country, and the December-February pollen events here are more severe than in San Antonio or Austin. The ultra-fine pollen infiltrates HVAC returns at volumes that coat ductwork and recirculate for months, driving a post-cedar-season cleaning demand that is specific to this area.
- Caliche dust in newer 78015 construction. Contractors in subdivisions like Esperanza and Mirror Oak frequently skip post-construction duct cleaning, letting fine white limestone caliche dust from Hill Country lot grading clog filter housings within weeks of move-in. We routinely pull visible white powder from these systems.
- Moisture trapping in flex ducts after storm events. Boerne’s position on the Balcones Escarpment brings intense short-burst rainstorms that spike indoor humidity. Improperly sealed flex ducts in newer homes create conditions for mold growth, a recurring problem we inspect for with our camera system.
- Undersized or overloaded components on acreage properties. Rural Boerne homes often have detached workshops, barns, or oversized garage spaces with HVAC extensions or heavy-duty garage door systems. Standard residential equipment isn’t built for this load, and many service crews don’t inspect these components, leading to failure during or after cleaning.

FAQs - Air Duct Cleaning in Boerne
Boerne’s dense Ashe juniper cover creates a December-February pollen spike more severe than surrounding cities, and the ultra-fine cedar pollen infiltrates return duct systems in volumes that standard filters cannot stop. This pollen coats duct walls and recirculates for months, degrading air quality and forcing HVAC systems to work harder. We recommend scheduling cleaning in late February or March, before the coating sets into a persistent reservoir. Call (844) 685-6342 to book a post-cedar-season appointment - estimates are free.
That white dust is almost certainly caliche limestone particulate from Hill Country lot grading that was never properly cleaned from your ductwork before move-in. It’s a common problem in 78015 master-planned communities where builders skipped post-construction duct cleaning. The dust clogs filter housings within weeks and continues to distribute until it’s fully extracted with professional agitation and HEPA vacuuming. We see this routinely in newer Boerne subdivisions and can clear it in a single visit.
Yes. We equip our crews for the extended runs and heavier-duty components common on Boerne acreage properties. Detached workshops, barns with HVAC extensions, and oversized garage spaces are within our standard scope for rural Boerne homes. We quote these structures upfront as part of your full-system price, not as a surprise add-on.
Signs include musty odors when the system cycles, visible condensation on duct exteriors in the attic, or mold spotting around ceiling registers. Boerne’s intense short-burst rainstorms on the Balcones Escarpment spike indoor humidity quickly, and improperly sealed flex ducts in newer 78015 homes are particularly vulnerable. Our video inspection can confirm moisture intrusion and seal integrity without cutting into drywall. If we find mold, we can treat and seal the system in the same visit.
We service and install LiftMaster, Chamberlain, and Craftsman garage door openers, and we stock springs and hardware from major manufacturers. For Boerne’s heavier rural doors, we frequently recommend upgrading to commercial-grade openers and heavier torsion springs rather than repeatedly replacing undersized residential components. Our technicians assess door weight, cycle frequency, and your specific usage before recommending any replacement.
