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 Converse, TX
Most air duct cleaning jobs in Converse run between $495 and $995 depending on system size, with heavy-load jobs in older tract homes sometimes reaching $1,400. The difference comes down to what is actually inside the ducts, and in Converse that is usually a lot more than people expect. Homes here sit directly against Joint Base San Antonio-Randolph, where military families rotate through on short orders and rental ductwork often goes untouched for years. What a homeowner elsewhere might call routine maintenance, we usually find is a first-time deep clean. Call Kestrel Air Duct Cleaning at (469) 972-3151 for an exact quote.
Why Converse Homes Are Different
Converse grew fast in the 1990s and 2000s, when subdivision crews were throwing up tract homes as quickly as the base could bring in workers. Most of that housing stock still runs on its original flex-duct systems, now 20 to 30 years old. Flex duct from that era wears out from the inside – the inner liner cracks, the outer jacket tears, and the whole run starts pulling attic air into the system. The fiberglass duct liner used in those homes also sheds particulate as it ages, so what looks like normal dust on the register is often liner material breaking down.
Then there’s the cedar. Converse sits squarely in the mountain cedar zone, and from December through February the pollen load is among the heaviest in the country. All of it enters the return side of the HVAC system, where it compacts against the duct walls. Add in the high summer humidity common to this part of Bexar County, and the ducts frequently show both pollen compaction and the first signs of minor mold growth. Both need to be addressed in the same call; cleaning one while ignoring the other just means the problem comes back in a season.
What sets Converse apart from the rest of the metro, though, is the rental turnover near the base. When a PCS move happens every two or three years, duct cleaning rarely makes the property manager’s budget. So the next tenant moves in on top of the previous tenant’s pet dander, the one before that’s construction dust from a DIY renovation, and a few seasons of cedar pollen. By the time a new owner or a long-term renter finally calls us, we’re usually looking at three or more distinct layers of tenant-era debris in the system.
Our Main Converse Services
Converse homeowners call us for two jobs: full Air Duct Cleaning in Converse and dedicated dryer vent work. Each has its own page with full pricing and details.
Air Duct Cleaning in Converse
The typical Converse duct cleaning job involves more than a standard vacuum pass. We run a Rotobrush rotary brush through every supply and return run, which agitates debris loose from the duct wall, then pull it out under negative pressure with Nikro equipment so it never re-enters the living space. In Converse specifically, we expect to spend extra time on returns because cedar pollen compacts there like felt. Homes off Kitty Hawk Road and Pearce Road near the base perimeter, in particular, tend to show the heaviest buildup. Learn more at our Air Duct Cleaning in Converse page.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Converse
Dryer vents in Converse clog faster than most of the metro because of lint volume combined with long vent runs common in 1990s floor plans. Some of these runs stretch 20 feet or more with multiple elbows, and lint collects at every bend. We bypass the lint trap entirely and clear the full run to the exterior termination. It’s a focused visit, typically an hour or less. Details are on the Dryer Vent Cleaning in Converse page.

Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning Company in Converse, TX
| Service | Typical range in Converse |
|---|---|
| Standard whole-home duct cleaning (up to 10 vents) | $495 - $695 |
| Whole-home duct cleaning (11-15 vents) | $695 - $895 |
| Whole-home duct cleaning (16+ vents) | $895 - $1,150 |
| Heavy-load first-time cleaning (multi-tenant rental or 20+ year old system) | $900 - $1,400 |

What pushes a Converse job toward the upper end of those ranges is almost always the same thing: a rental home that went uncleaned through multiple tenants, or a 20-year-old flex-duct system with liner breakdown. In both cases, the work simply takes longer and requires more passes. Whatever the quote ends up being, you’ll have it in writing before we touch a single vent. That’s the Kingswell Guarantee, and it applies to every job, no exceptions.

What Converse Customers Say
"My wife's allergies were awful every morning. Had the ducts done and it's made a real difference. Tech was on time and wore booties in the house without me asking."
- Rob Pendergast"Bought an older home and the previous owners had pets everywhere. After Kestrel did the ducts the stale smell was just gone. On time, quick, and they showed me the filter they pulled."
- Preston Ngata"Our dryer was taking two cycles to dry a load. They cleaned the vent and pulled out a frightening amount of lint. Dries in one cycle now and honestly I feel better about the fire risk."
