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.

Air duct cleaning in Converse, TX typically runs $350-$650 for a complete residential system and $800-$2,400 for commercial spaces, with most jobs scheduled within a few business days. We’re Kestrel Air Duct Cleaning, and our Converse crews know the local housing stock inside and out - from the original flex-duct subdivisions off Kitty Hawk Road to the newer builds near Pearce Road.

Call (469) 972-3151 for a free written estimate before any work begins.
Why Kestrel Air Duct Cleaning Is Converse’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
We’ve been serving Bexar County under the Kingswell Guarantee since 2004, and Converse has become one of our most frequent stops. The 1990s-2000s subdivision boom that followed Randolph AFB expansion left thousands of homes with original flex-duct systems now hitting their third decade - we see them every week, and we know what failure looks like before we open the first vent.
Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and equipped with Rotobrush rotary brush systems, Nikro negative-pressure units, and Abatement Technologies HEPA filtration. The Kingswell Way governs every visit: we put the price in writing before touching a single vent, show up in the window we promised, leave your home cleaner than we found it, and document our 365-Day Done Right Promise on every invoice. If the work falls short within that year, we return and make it right at no charge. That’s not a courtesy we extend when we feel like it - it’s in writing, every time.
Calls are answered by a live person, 24 hours a day. No voicemail trees, no callback queues.
Residential Air Duct Cleaning in Converse
Residential Air Duct Cleaning in Converse addresses a problem most homeowners don’t know they have until the system starts struggling. Our typical Converse job involves a full source-removal cleaning of supply and return ductwork using rotary brush agitation to dislodge debris from duct walls, followed by negative-air extraction that pulls contaminants out of the system entirely. Most Converse homes run $350-$650 for a complete cleaning, though heavy-load jobs in older subdivisions or neglected rentals can push toward the upper end. We also offer video inspection so you see the condition before we start.
Supply and Return Duct Cleaning
Supply ducts push conditioned air into your rooms; return ducts pull it back to the air handler. In Converse, returns near the base perimeter often show the worst buildup - three or more layers of tenant-era debris compacted by years of cedar pollen and humidity. We clean both sides of the system, not just the easy-to-reach supplies.
New-Build and First-Time Cleaning
Converse’s newer tract homes frequently contain more construction debris than 20-year-old systems that have seen at least one cleaning. Drywall dust sealed in at handover doesn’t age out - it circulates until it’s removed. We treat these as full source-removal jobs, not light maintenance calls.
Commercial Air Duct Cleaning in Converse
Commercial Air Duct Cleaning in Converse serves the retail strips, office parks, and service businesses along FM 78 and Seguin Road where HVAC systems run harder and longer than residential units. Our commercial process scales the same core methods - rotary brush agitation, negative-air extraction, HEPA containment - across larger ductwork and rooftop units. Typical Converse commercial jobs range from $800 for a small retail suite to $2,400 for larger multi-zone systems, always with a written price agreed before work starts. We schedule around your operating hours to minimize disruption.
System-Specific Approaches
Commercial ductwork in Converse varies widely: older strip malls use galvanized steel mains with flex drops, while newer construction runs insulated spiral duct. We adjust our brush heads and vacuum CFM to match the material. Metal duct tolerates aggressive agitation; flex duct near its end of life needs gentler handling.
Post-Construction Commercial Cleaning
New commercial buildouts in Converse repeat the same handover failure as residential - construction debris left in the system. We clean these before occupancy, documenting the condition for property managers who need records for tenant leases or warranty claims.
Trusted Brands We Service in Converse
Our Air Duct Cleaning team works with all major HVAC equipment found in Converse homes and businesses, and we stock Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Guardsman filtration products for homeowners who want to maintain clean air between service visits. The Rotobrush systems we deploy for agitation cleaning, the Nikro negative-pressure units that extract debris, and the Abatement Technologies HEPA filtration that keeps particles out of your living space during the job - these are professional-grade tools, not shop vacs with extra hose. If your system needs a filter upgrade or UV air purifier after cleaning, we’ll show you the options and give you a written price for that too.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Converse Homes
- Construction drywall dust sealed in at handover. In Converse’s fast-built 1990s-2000s subdivisions and newer tract homes alike, builders rarely remediated ductwork before occupancy. That dust doesn’t degrade - it circulates through your home for decades until physically removed.
- Fiberglass duct liner shedding particulate. Original flex-duct systems in Converse’s older neighborhoods now have deteriorating liner that flakes off and distributes through supply vents. We identify this during video inspection and adjust our cleaning approach to minimize further damage.
- Cedar pollen compaction plus humidity-driven mold growth. The San Antonio region’s mountain cedar season (December through February) loads return systems with pollen that compacts in damp ductwork. Converse’s summer humidity then drives minor mold growth in the same returns. Both need addressing in the same service call.
- Multi-tenant debris accumulation in military rentals. Properties near Joint Base San Antonio-Randolph cycle through families every 2-3 years, and property managers rarely budget duct cleaning between PCS moves. We regularly find layered debris - pet dander, renovation dust, pollen - that built across multiple tenant cycles.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Converse, TX
Most Converse residential systems run $350-$650 for a complete cleaning. Commercial spaces start around $800 for small single-zone systems and range up to $2,400 for larger multi-zone buildings. What moves you within those ranges: the number of supply and return vents, whether the system needs video inspection first, the presence of construction debris or heavy tenant-era buildup that demands extended agitation time, and any add-on filtration products like Honeywell or Aprilaire upgrades.
We do not quote per-vent prices. We do not offer teaser coupons that change at the door. We give one flat price per system, in writing, before any work begins. That price covers the full cleaning we scoped - no door-step revisions, no surprises. Call (469) 972-3151 for a free estimate. We’ll ask about your home’s age, neighborhood, and any symptoms you’ve noticed, then give you a range you can plan around.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Converse
Yes, and often more urgently than a well-maintained older home. Converse’s fast-built tract homes frequently went from final construction to occupancy with drywall dust, wood shavings, and insulation scraps still in the ductwork. We treat these as full source-removal jobs, not light maintenance calls. Call (469) 972-3151 and we’ll scope it with a video inspection.
Original flex-duct systems with fiberglass liner now 20-30 years old are shedding particulate into your airflow, and construction debris from the original buildout was rarely cleaned out before first occupancy. We see this combination constantly in subdivisions off Kitty Hawk Road and near the base perimeter. A video inspection will show you exactly what condition yours is in.
Almost certainly not. Converse’s military rental market cycles families every 2-3 years, and property managers rarely budget duct cleaning between PCS moves. We regularly find three or more layers of tenant-era debris in these systems. If you’re a new occupant, a video inspection is worth the call.
Yes. Commercial ductwork uses larger gauges of metal or spiral insulation, runs longer hours, and accumulates different contaminants - cooking grease in restaurant vents, paper dust in offices, retail particulate. Our commercial pricing starts at $800 and scales with system size, always with the same written price guarantee. Call (469) 972-3151 for a commercial estimate.
Your builder should have performed source-removal cleaning of all supply and return ductwork after construction was complete and before the HVAC system was energized for occupancy. That means sealed ductwork during drywall installation, post-construction vacuuming of all runs, and verification with a scope or camera. In Converse’s boom-era builds and many newer developments, this step was skipped entirely. We clean what the builder left behind.
