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 Company in Canyon Lake, TX
Air duct cleaning in Canyon Lake, TX usually runs between $360 and $750 for a whole-home system, depending on home size and how much debris has built up. What sets Canyon Lake jobs apart is the housing stock: most homes here began as 1960s to 1980s vacation cabins and weekend lake cottages, later converted to full-time living, with duct systems that were never engineered for year-round load. Add in the lake’s humidity gradient and the mountain cedar pollen that blankets the Hill Country every winter, and you get duct conditions that a generic cleaning schedule doesn’t address. If you’re noticing dust on every surface within days of cleaning, or your allergies spike the moment your HVAC kicks on, call Kestrel Air Duct Cleaning at (469) 972-3151 for a straight answer and a written price.
Why Canyon Lake Homes Are Different
Most of Canyon Lake’s residential stock was built between roughly 1960 and 1990 as recreational lake cottages and early tract homes along the canyon rim and lake coves. These are predominantly slab-on-grade structures with attic-run flex duct. That duct has spent decades baking in Hill Country attic heat, and because the homes were originally designed for weekend use, the duct runs are often undersized, loosely joined, and routed in ways that make airflow inefficient from day one. When we inspect a home near the lake’s north side or along the coves off Skyline Drive, we routinely find flex duct joints that have separated or sagged, letting attic air and dust into the living space before conditioned air ever reaches a register.
The climate does not do these homes any favors. The Guadalupe River reservoir creates a localized humidity gradient that makes water-facing slopes noticeably more moist than inland Hill Country towns just a few miles away. That moisture finds its way into attic ductwork, where it combines with dust to form a paste that coats duct walls and reduces airflow. During dry spells, the limestone caliche terrain generates heavy airborne dust that loads return-air systems quickly. And from December through February, Ashe juniper pollen is so dense it can visibly cake the interior of return plenums in homes that have not been cleaned since before cedar season. A duct cleaning in Canyon Lake is not a routine maintenance item – it is corrective work on a system that has spent decades fighting this environment.
Our Main Canyon Lake Services
We offer two services in Canyon Lake, and each one has its own page with full pricing, process details, and what to expect on the day of the job. Here is the short version of what each involves in this area.
Air Duct Cleaning in Canyon Lake
Whole-home Air Duct Cleaning in Canyon Lake means connecting a negative-air extraction unit to your ductwork, agitating the interior walls with a rotary brush, and filtering the loosened debris through HEPA filtration so it never re-enters your living space. In Canyon Lake, we pay particular attention to return plenums, which take the brunt of cedar pollen from December through February and often show the heaviest buildup. The written price you get before we start is the price you pay when we finish.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Canyon Lake
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Canyon Lake clears the full run from the dryer’s lint trap bypass to the exterior vent cap, removing the compacted lint that causes dryers to run hot and clothes to take forever to dry. Canyon Lake homes built in the vacation-cabin era often have long, oddly-routed vent runs that trap lint at every bend. Lint packed hard at the exterior cap is a fire hazard that deserves a professional inspection, and the job is completed before we leave.

Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning Company in Canyon Lake, TX
These are the typical ranges we quote in Canyon Lake for the work we do. Your written price is based on the size of the home, the number of returns and vents, and how much buildup has accumulated – and it is locked in before a single vent is touched.
| Service | Typical range in Canyon Lake |
|---|---|
| Air duct cleaning, single HVAC system (up to 10 vents) | $360 – $520 |
| Air duct cleaning, single HVAC system (11-16 vents) | $520 – $680 |
| Air duct cleaning, single HVAC system (17+ vents) | $680 – $850 |
| Air duct cleaning, two HVAC systems | $700 – $1,100 |
| Return plenum deep clean (cedar pollen season) | $120 – $220 |
| Supply boot and register cleaning (per home) | $80 – $160 |
| Flex duct joint repair and reconnection (per joint) | $65 – $130 |
| Dryer vent cleaning, standard run (under 10 ft) | $130 – $220 |
| Dryer vent cleaning, extended or multi-bend run | $220 – $350 |
| Dryer vent cap replacement | $45 – $95 |
In Canyon Lake, two things push pricing toward the upper end of these ranges: separated flex duct joints that need reconnection, and the dense pollen-and-dust packing that forms in return plenums during cedar season. Whatever the number turns out to be, it goes on a written quote before we start, and that quote is the final invoice. No surprises at the door.
