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.

AfterFast, Reliable Air Duct Cleaning Across Aubrey
Air duct cleaning in Aubrey typically runs $350-$650 for a full residential system, and most jobs are completed in a single visit. We dispatch crews from our Dallas-Fort Worth office and maintain regular routes through Denton County, so Aubrey homeowners aren’t waiting weeks for an appointment.
We’ve spent enough time in Aubrey to know the pattern. Drive through Silverado, Savannah, or the newer phases near US-377 and you’ll see the same thing: rows of 2019-2024 builds with the same builder-grade flex duct, the same open-web truss attics, and often the same problem. The construction crews finished the drywall, packed up, and never flushed the ducts before the certificate of occupancy. That dust doesn’t stay put. It circulates. Call (469) 972-3151 for a free estimate and we’ll show you exactly what’s in there.
Why Kestrel Air Duct Cleaning Is Aubrey’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
Aubrey’s growth has been explosive, and we’ve kept pace with it. Our Air Duct Cleaning team knows the difference between a 1980s ranch in Pilot Point and a 2022 D.R. Horton in Silverado, and we clean accordingly. The tools, the approach, even the inspection sequence changes when you’re dealing with post-construction debris instead of decades of settled dust.
Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and trained under The Kingswell Way: say the price before touching a vent, show up in the window we gave, leave the home cleaner than we found it, and put the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If the work falls short within that year, we return and make it right at no charge. That promise has been part of every Kingswell company job since 2004.
Calls are answered by a live person, any time of day. No automated queue, no callback roulette. When you’re staring at a dust-coated register in a home you moved into six months ago, you want a human who can schedule an inspection this week, not next month.
HVAC Duct Cleaning in Aubrey
HVAC Duct Cleaning in Aubrey is, more often than not, a post-construction remediation job rather than a maintenance clean. The typical system we see was installed by a volume builder in 2019 or later, with flexible ductwork run through open-web truss attics that act like collection bins for whatever drifts in during construction. Drywall compound powder, blown-in insulation fragments, silica from cutting and sanding, all of it finds the low spots where flex duct sags between supports.
Our process starts with a video inspection. We feed a camera through the supply and return trunks to map debris location and check for duct integrity issues common in rapid-build homes: crushed runs, disconnected boots, gaps where the flex meets the plenum. Then we seal the registers and set up negative-air extraction, that’s a Nikro negative-pressure unit pulling 2,000+ CFM through the system while we work. This keeps dislodged debris from escaping into your living space during cleaning.
We use Rotobrush rotary brush agitation on the branch lines, mechanical brushes that physically scrub the duct walls where construction dust has adhered. For the main trunk lines, we switch to compressed-air whipping tools that snap debris free without damaging thin-gauge flex duct. The entire process runs through Abatement Technologies HEPA filtration, capturing particles down to 0.3 microns. A final camera pass confirms source removal before we pack up.
Supply Duct Cleaning
Supply ducts carry conditioned air to your rooms, and in Aubrey’s newer homes they’re often the dirtiest lines. Builders leave supply grilles open during interior finish work, so drywall dust settles directly onto the boot and first few feet of duct. We isolate each supply branch and clean from the register back to the plenum, verifying with camera inspection.
Return Duct Cleaning
Return ducts pull air back to the handler, and in Aubrey’s flat prairie setting they draw in exceptional pollen loads plus fine red clay soil particulates driven by persistent south winds. The return side typically shows heavier debris accumulation, especially near the filter rack where unsealed gaps allow attic air infiltration.
Vent Cleaning in Aubrey
Vent Cleaning in Aubrey addresses the visible endpoint of a deeper problem. Homeowners notice dust blasting from registers, or a gray film that reappears on furniture within days of dusting. In a 2021-built Silverado home, our techs found the real source: duct boots caked with drywall compound powder and loose batt insulation fibers, with the blower motor coated in fine silica. The vents were just where the evidence became visible.
We clean every vent cover, boot, and accessible branch line. Covers are removed and washed on-site. The boot interior, that’s the short duct section behind your wall or ceiling, gets brush agitation and vacuum extraction. Where accessible, we extend cleaning several feet into the branch line to capture debris that would otherwise migrate back to the vent within weeks.
For homeowners in Savannah and the newer developments along FM-720, we often recommend pairing vent cleaning with a full system inspection. The vent is where you see the problem. The trunk line and plenum are where it lives.
Video Inspection Before and After
We record camera footage at the start and end of every job. You see what we found, where we found it, and what remains after cleaning. No guesswork, no trust-me assertions. In Aubrey’s litigation-conscious new-build market, documentation matters.
Dryer Vent Cleaning Add-On
Most Aubrey homes have laundry rooms with long dryer vent runs through attic trusses, a configuration that traps lint in low spots and creates genuine fire risk. We can clean the dryer vent during the same visit. It’s a separate system with separate pricing, and we’ll quote both before starting either.
Trusted Brands We Service in Aubrey
Our trucks carry Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Guardsman filtration and indoor-air-quality products for homeowners who want to maintain clean air between service visits. We stock common sizes and configurations locally, so if your inspection reveals a gap where the builder spec’d a cheap fiberglass filter, we can upgrade to a pleated media filter or electronic air cleaner on the spot. For homes in Silverado and Savannah dealing with Aubrey’s heavy cedar pollen loads, a properly sized Aprilaire media cabinet installed at the air handler captures far more than the 1-inch throwaway filters most builders include.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Aubrey Homes
- Construction debris in brand-new ductwork. Builders in Aubrey’s master-planned communities routinely leave supply and return grilles uncovered during drywall, texture, and paint phases. Months of finish work deposit drywall compound powder, insulation fibers, and silica directly into flex duct runs that were never designed to be flushed afterward.
- Compacted dust in duct boots. Without a post-construction cleaning, drywall dust hardens in the boot, the short transition behind your vent cover. By year two or three, it’s a solid cake that standard vacuuming won’t touch. We find this in nearly every Silverado home over 18 months old.
- Insulation fiber migration toward the air handler. Loose batt fibers from attic work drift into return-air pathways, drawn by the blower’s suction. They collect on the blower wheel and evaporator coils, reducing airflow and forcing the system to run longer during Aubrey’s 8-to-9-month cooling season.
- Low spots in sagging flex duct. Builder-grade flex duct installed quickly across open-web trusses develops sags between supports. These low spots become debris collectors, especially for the fine red clay particulates that blow in from Aubrey’s exposed prairie position. A camera inspection reveals what a quick register peek cannot.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Aubrey, TX
Most full residential HVAC duct cleaning jobs in Aubrey run between $350 and $650, depending on system size, accessibility, and debris load. A typical 2,200-square-foot home in Silverado with one air handler and 10-14 vents falls in the $400-$525 range. Commercial systems and multi-zone residential setups start around $800 and scale with linear footage of ductwork.
What moves the number: the number of air handlers, whether the home has a basement or crawl space that adds access complexity, and how heavily contaminated the system is. Post-construction debris removal takes longer than a maintenance clean because compacted drywall compound requires more agitation cycles.
We give one flat price per system, agreed in writing before any work begins. No per-vent add-ons, no equipment surcharges, no door-step revisions. The price we quote is the price on the invoice.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Aubrey
Because builders rarely flush ducts before handing over the keys. In Aubrey’s rapid-build environment, drywall crews, painters, and insulation contractors worked for months with your supply and return grilles wide open. Drywall compound powder, silica, and batt insulation fibers settled into the ductwork and have been circulating since your HVAC first cycled on. A 2022 build in Silverado often contains more construction debris than a 1995 home in an older suburb. Call (469) 972-3151 for a camera inspection and we’ll show you exactly what’s in there.
Aubrey’s flat prairie position exposes homes to persistent winds that drive fine red clay soil and exceptionally high cedar pollen loads directly into return-air intakes. The 8-to-9-month cooling season keeps systems running nearly continuously, accelerating particulate accumulation. Most Aubrey homeowners with new construction benefit from an initial post-construction clean within the first two years, then every 3-5 years thereafter depending on filtration quality and allergy sensitivity. Call (469) 972-3151 and we’ll assess your specific system load.
Visible gray dust at registers within weeks of cleaning, musty odors when the system first cycles on, or unusual dust accumulation on furniture near supply vents are all signals. The definitive check is a camera inspection of the duct boots, that’s the short section behind your wall or ceiling vent. If you see white drywall compound residue or fibrous insulation material, the builder skipped the flush. We document this with video on every inspection. Call (469) 972-3151 to schedule.
Yes, and we recommend it for most Aubrey homes. Long dryer vent runs through attic truss spaces, common in Silverado and Savannah floor plans, trap lint in low spots that standard homeowner brushes cannot reach. Dryer vent cleaning is priced separately and quoted upfront alongside your duct cleaning. Both services are completed in the same visit. Call (469) 972-3151 for a combined estimate.
We use Rotobrush rotary brush systems for mechanical agitation of duct walls, Nikro negative-pressure units for source extraction, and Abatement Technologies HEPA filtration to contain loosened particles during cleaning. For filtration upgrades, we stock Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Guardsman products. Every tool is professional-grade, not adapted shop equipment. Call (469) 972-3151 and we’ll explain how each piece applies to your specific system.
