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 New Braunfels, TX
Kestrel Air Duct Cleaning handles ductwork in New Braunfels homes the way the local conditions actually demand, because dust, cedar pollen, and construction debris behave differently here than they do thirty miles south in San Antonio. We’re the local crew backed by the Kingswell Guarantee: a written price before we touch a single vent, a real arrival window, and a 365-Day Done Right Promise on every job. Our New Braunfels customers reach a live person any time they call (469) 972-3151, and our technicians arrive in uniform with professional Rotobrush and Nikro equipment, not a box-store shop vac. If you’re wondering what duct cleaning actually costs here and what makes New Braunfels homes different, this page answers it straight.
Why New Braunfels Homes Are Different
New Braunfels sits inside the Texas Hill Country’s Ashe juniper belt, and that single fact changes what we pull out of ductwork here. From December through February, mountain cedar releases pollen at concentrations that rank among the highest in the nation, and a home’s HVAC system actively pulls that pollen into the return vents, deposits it along the duct walls, and recirculates it every time the blower kicks on. We’ve cleaned ducts in Fischer Farm and Vintage Oaks in late spring that were still loaded with cedar pollen from the winter season, because the ducts had become a reservoir. That’s not a San Antonio problem, and it’s not an Austin problem. It’s specific to New Braunfels and the Hill Country release zone.
Add the housing stock, and you get a second, compounding factor. New Braunfels has been among the fastest-growing cities in the country for most of the last decade, with large single-story slab-foundation subdivisions going up along the I-35 corridor at remarkable speed. Builders routinely leave drywall dust, sawdust, and even fast-food wrappers inside duct runs before the registers go on, and many of those long duct runs in newer homes have never been opened since the day the house was sold. Meanwhile, the older homes near downtown and Gruene often still have early-generation flex duct that sags between joists, creating low spots where dust settles and humidity collects. And humidity here is a real variable. The Guadalupe and Comal River corridors keep localized moisture in the air year-round, which raises the mold and mildew risk inside ducts compared to drier parts of the region. None of this makes New Braunfels a “worse” market. It makes it a market where generic, drive-by duct cleaning doesn’t hold up. It’s why we approach every New Braunfels job as a New Braunfels job, not a template.
Our Main New Braunfels Services
Two services cover nearly every call we get from New Braunfels homeowners and property managers: air duct cleaning and dryer vent cleaning. Each has its own dedicated New Braunfels page, linked below, because the two jobs involve different tools, different risks, and different local conditions.
Air Duct Cleaning in New Braunfels
When we clean air ducts in a New Braunfels home, we connect a Nikro negative-pressure unit to the main trunk line to pull the entire system under vacuum, then run a Rotobrush rotary brush through the supply and return runs to dislodge what’s caked onto the duct walls. In plain terms: we put the ducts under suction so loosened debris doesn’t drift into your living room, then we agitate the walls so dust, cedar pollen, drywall dust, and pet dander actually let go. In a fast-built subdivision home, that first cleaning often removes a layer of construction debris the builder never did. Air Duct Cleaning in New Braunfels covers the full process, the pricing, and what to expect on the day we arrive.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in New Braunfels
Dryer vents in New Braunfels clog faster than homeowners expect, and the reason is often the lint trap bypass: in many tract homes, the vent run is long, bends behind the slab, or passes through the attic, and sections of it can’t trap lint the way the dryer’s own filter does. When that lint accumulates, the dryer runs hotter, clothes take longer to dry, and the vent becomes a fire risk. We clean the full run with a rotating brush and collect what comes out, then show you the result. Dryer Vent Cleaning in New Braunfels walks through the signs of a clogged vent, the cost, and why the twice-a-year schedule matters here.

What pushes a New Braunfels quote toward the upper end is usually the duct run length, the number of returns, whether the home has two systems, and how long it’s been since the ducts were last opened. Fast-built subdivision homes with long single-story runs can take longer to clean thoroughly. Whatever your home requires, the price you see in writing before we start is the price you pay – that’s the Kingswell Guarantee, and there is no door-step revision on any job.

"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."
