AfterAir Duct Cleaning Near You in San Antonio, TX
If you’re searching “air duct cleaning near me” in San Antonio, you’re likely noticing dust settling on furniture faster than usual, a musty smell when the AC kicks on, or pet hair circulating through the vents. Morton’s Air Duct Cleaning serves the entire San Antonio metro area with upfront written pricing before any work starts, background-checked technicians who treat your home like their own, and a 365-Day Done Right Promise on every single job. Call (903) 354-8393 and you’ll reach a live person, not a voicemail tree, any time day or night.

If it isn’t, we make it right. That’s the 365-Day Done Right Promise, and it’s stamped on every job we complete, not just offered when someone asks.

Fast, Local Air Duct Cleaning
When we say fast, we mean it. Most air duct cleaning jobs in San Antonio take between 2 and 4 hours for a typical single-family home, and we can usually schedule within 48 to 72 hours of your call. Same-day and next-day appointments are often available depending on where you are in the city. If you’re in Alamo Heights and call before noon, there’s a good chance we can have a technician at your door before dinner.
Our crews work all across the San Antonio metro. We’re not a call center routing jobs to whoever happens to be free. The technician who shows up is a Morton’s employee, background-checked, uniformed, and trained to the Cedarwell C.A.R.E. values on every job. He’ll introduce himself, walk through exactly what he’s going to do, and show you the written price before a single tool comes off the truck. No surprises on the invoice. No “while we’re here” upselling.
We know San Antonio homes. The combination of limestone soil, spring pollen from mountain cedar, and long AC seasons means ductwork here collects a specific mix of dust, pollen, and pet dander. Homes near the Hill Country, like Boerne and Bulverde, tend to get more oak pollen and construction dust. Homes in older neighborhoods like Monte Vista and Jefferson often have duct runs that haven’t been touched since the original build. We plan the job around your home, not the other way around.
Areas We Cover
Morton’s Air Duct Cleaning serves the entire San Antonio area plus the surrounding communities. If you’re in San Antonio proper, including neighborhoods like Alamo Heights, Stone Oak, King William, Terrell Hills, The Dominion, or the Medical Center area, we’re your local crew. We also regularly work in Schertz, Boerne, Helotes, Live Oak, Bulverde, Leon Valley, and Castle Hills. If you’re not sure whether you’re in our service area, call us. Odds are good the answer is yes.
For homeowners in the city limits, the question isn’t really “do you serve my area?” It’s “when can you be here?” The answer is usually sooner than you’d expect. We dispatch from a central San Antonio location, which keeps drive times short and appointment windows accurate. If we say we’ll be there between 9 and 11, the truck pulls up between 9 and 11.
What We Protect Inside Your Home
Before we touch a single vent, here’s what happens: shoe covers go on at the door. Drop cloths go down under every work area. Furniture near the vents gets a light covering where needed. Pet areas get the same treatment, because your dog’s favorite nap spot shouldn’t end up covered in whatever came out of the ducts. If your toddler is napping when we arrive, we’ll work around the schedule or keep the equipment as quiet as possible in that part of the house. This isn’t extra service. It’s the Cedarwell Care Promise, and it’s how every Morton’s job starts.
We also take a photo of the clean-up before we leave. You’ll see exactly what your floors and furniture looked like after the job, with visual proof that we left the house better than we found it. Every time.
What, Specifically, Air Duct Cleaning Costs in San Antonio
Air duct cleaning in San Antonio typically runs between $350 and $650 for a full system on a home up to about 2,500 square feet. Larger homes, homes with multiple AC units, or ducts that haven’t been cleaned in a decade or more can run higher. Here’s what that looks like line by line so you can plan before you call:
| Service | Typical Price Range in San Antonio | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Basic air duct cleaning, single system (up to ~10 vents) | $350 – $450 | Includes all supply and return ducts, registers, and main trunk line |
| Standard home, 10-15 vents, single system | $450 – $550 | Most common San Antonio home size |
| Larger home or dual system (15+ vents or 2 AC units) | $550 – $750 | Homes over ~2,800 sq ft or with separate upstairs/downstairs units |
| Dryer vent cleaning (add-on or standalone) | $89 – $149 | Recommended at least once a year; especially important in San Antonio’s lint-heavy laundry rooms |
| Furnace or air handler component cleaning | $100 – $200 | Blower fan, evaporator coil access, drain pan |
These are the ranges we actually quote, not a bait price that disappears when you call. The written price you get before the work starts is the price you pay. No fuel surcharges, no “equipment fees,” no add-ons you didn’t approve. If the technician finds something unexpected during the job, he’ll show you what he found, explain what it means, and give you a separate written price for any additional work before touching it. You decide. That’s it.
Every completed job comes with a photo of the clean-up before we leave, so you can see the floors and furniture exactly how we left them. And if anything about the job isn’t right, the 365-Day Done Right Promise means we make it right. Full stop.
Why San Antonio Families Call Morton’s
San Antonio is a city of kids and dogs, backyard grills and screen doors that don’t always close all the way. The air inside your house does a lot of work. It carries pollen from live oaks in the spring, dust from limestone roads all year, and a generous amount of what your golden retriever sheds in August. All of that moves through your ductwork every time the AC cycles. Over time, it builds up in the ducts, on the blower fan, and around the coils. Cleaning it out isn’t a luxury. It’s maintenance, like draining the water heater or cleaning the gutters.
What families notice after a professional cleaning is usually pretty consistent: less dust on nightstands and bookshelves within a couple of weeks, a fresher smell when the air first kicks on, and in homes with allergy sufferers, fewer sniffles during cedar season. We can’t promise a medical miracle, and we won’t try. What we can promise is cleaner ducts, a house we left exactly as neat as we found it, and a price you knew before we started.
Paul Adeyemi, the owner, has led Morton’s since it joined the Cedarwell family at the founding in 2005. The business has stayed independent and local the entire time. Paul works out of the same central San Antonio office where the phones are answered, the trucks are dispatched, and the appointments are scheduled. When you call with a question, the person who answers knows the service area and can actually help you. Not a call center in another state.
How the Cleaning Actually Works
Here’s the full process, step by step, so you know exactly what to expect when the crew arrives:
- The walkthrough. The technician walks through your home with you, locates every return and supply vent, checks the air handler or furnace, and answers any questions before the job starts. This is also when he gives you the written price.
- Floor and furniture protection. Shoe covers on, drop cloths down, furniture covered where needed. Pet areas get the same care as the rest of the house.
- System setup. We connect our negative-air equipment to the main trunk line. The Rotobrush system creates continuous suction while the agitation tools work through each duct run. No dust escapes into the house.
- Duct-by-duct cleaning. Each supply and return duct is cleaned individually with the Rotobrush or Nikro equipment. We don’t skip the hard-to-reach runs. That’s the whole point.
- Component cleaning. Blower fan, evaporator coil access, and drain pan get cleaned where accessible. This is where the real airflow improvement happens.
- Filter check. We check your filter and let you know if it’s the right size and type for your system. If you have a Honeywell or Aprilaire media cabinet, we’ll show you how to source the right replacement.
- Clean-up and photo. Equipment removed, floors swept, furniture back in place. We take a photo of the clean-up before we leave so you have visual proof the house was left better than we found it.
The whole process for a typical San Antonio home takes between 2 and 4 hours. If your toddler is napping, tell us and we’ll sequence the work around the quiet hours where we can. Our equipment is professional-grade, which means it’s actually quieter than many smaller machines you’d rent at the hardware store.
Dryer Vent Cleaning: The Other Airflow Problem
While we’re talking about air ducts, let’s talk about dryer vents. This is the one that surprises people. In San Antonio, where the average family runs laundry year-round thanks to sweaty sports uniforms, swim team towels, and summer work clothes, dryer vents clog faster than most homeowners expect. Lint builds up in the vent run, the dryer works harder, and in the worst case, a clogged dryer vent becomes a fire risk. We recommend dryer vent cleaning at least once a year for most San Antonio homes. It’s a quick add-on when we’re already at the house for air duct cleaning, and it’s also available as a standalone service.
As with everything else Morton’s does, the dryer vent price is on the written quote before we start. $89 to $149 is the typical range for a standard single-story vent run in San Antonio. Figure on the higher end if you have a long vent run, a second-floor laundry room, or a vent that exits through the roof, which is common in Boerne and Bulverde Hill Country builds.
Do You Need Your Air Ducts Cleaned? What to Look For
Not every home needs air duct cleaning on a strict schedule. The honest answer is that most San Antonio homes benefit from a cleaning every 3 to 5 years, with adjustments based on how you live. Here’s what tends to push that timeline shorter:
- Pets that shed. If you have a Labrador, a German Shepherd, or honestly any dog that drops fur year-round, that fur works its way into the return ducts and builds up on the coil. Homes with multiple pets often benefit from cleaning every 2 to 3 years.
- Recent renovation. If you’ve had drywall work, flooring replacement, or any kind of demo done in the house, construction dust gets pulled into the return side of the system and settles in the ducts. That dust will circulate for months if it isn’t removed.
- Allergy symptoms that spike at night or in specific rooms. If you notice you’re fine outside but congested inside, or fine in the living room but sneezing in the bedroom, the ducts serving that part of the house may be the culprit.
- Visible dust around vents. If you see dark streaks or dust rings around your supply vents, that’s air pulling dust through the register. It’s a sign the ducts have a buildup inside.
- Mold or mildew smell when the AC runs. San Antonio humidity is real. If the condensate drain has backed up or the coil has stayed wet, you’ll smell it when the air first kicks on. Duct cleaning plus drain and coil service addresses the source.
If you’re not sure, call us. We’ll ask a few questions about your home, your system, and what you’re noticing, and give you an honest read on whether cleaning makes sense right now. We’d rather tell you to wait than sell you a service you don’t need. That’s part of the Cedarwell C.A.R.E. values, and it’s part of why we’ve kept a strong local reputation since 2005.
Will Cleaning Really Make a Difference?
It’s a fair question. We’ve heard it from homeowners in every San Antonio neighborhood we serve, and the answer is: it depends on what’s actually in your ducts. If your system is 15 years old and has never been cleaned, with two dogs and a cat sharing the house, the difference after cleaning is usually dramatic. Less dust on surfaces within a couple weeks, better airflow from the vents, airflow that reaches the far bedrooms, and a neutral smell when the system runs. If your ducts are relatively clean and you’re mostly doing preventive maintenance, the difference will be less visible but still real: better airflow, less strain on the blower motor, and the peace of knowing what’s actually moving through your home.
We won’t oversell you. We’ll show you what comes out of your ducts during the cleaning if you want to see it. The Rotobrush and Nikro equipment uses HEPA-filtered negative air so you can watch the extraction happening in real time. A lot of our customers are surprised, then relieved, then pretty happy. Then they go right back to their regularly scheduled lives, which is the whole point.

Prices, Estimates, and the Phone Call
Every estimate starts with a phone call. We don’t automate it. We don’t send you to a booking portal and make you wait. You call (903) 354-8393, a live person answers, and you tell us a little about your home: square footage, number of vents, how long it’s been since the ducts were cleaned, whether you have pets. With that, we can usually give you a price range on the phone. The final written price comes after the technician walks your home and sees the system in person, and it’s in your hand before any work starts.
