Fast, Reliable Air Duct Cleaning Across San Antonio
If your home in San Antonio smells stale every time the AC kicks on, or there’s a fine layer of dust on the furniture two days after you wipe it down, the ductwork is usually the culprit. We clean air ducts in San Antonio homes every week, from Stone Oak to Alamo Ranch, and we’ve seen exactly what our local climate pushes through those vents. You want a straight answer on what it costs and what we’ll do. Call (903) 354-8393 and we’ll give you both, in writing, before any work begins. Most whole-home cleanings in San Antonio run $450 to $900 depending on square footage and how long it’s been since the last clean.
Our crews know San Antonio’s housing stock well. We work in 1970s ranches off Bandera Road, 1990s two-story homes in Helotes, and newer builds near the Medina River where moisture adds its own set of problems. No two systems are the same, and that’s why we start with an inspection before we ever recommend a clean. If you’re not sure whether your ducts actually need attention, we’ll send someone out to look. The estimate is free. The advice is honest. Sometimes the answer is “your ducts are fine, change your filter more often.” We’ll tell you that too.
Why Mortons Air Duct San Antonio Is San Antonio’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
Since 2005, Morton’s Air Duct Cleaning has worked under the Cedarwell Care Promise, and the San Antonio team here is held to the same standard on every house, every time. That means a written price before work starts. Shoe covers and drop cloths before the hose comes off the truck. Background-checked, uniformed technicians who treat your hallway like their own. And a 365-Day Done Right Promise: if the job isn’t right, we make it right, full stop. Not a prorated “we’ll come back if you complain loudly.” It’s stamped on the work order.
San Antonio families call us because they’ve been burned before. A low coupon price that tripled once the crew arrived. A “clean” that took forty-five minutes and left the registers rattling. We hear those stories weekly. That’s why every job ends the same way: a photo of the clean-up before the crew leaves, so you can see the floor is as clean as we found it. We answer the phone with a real person, 24/7, not a voicemail tree. And we work with equipment from Rotobrush and Nikro, not the rental gear you can buy at a big-box store. For Air Duct Cleaning in San Antonio, that consistency is why homeowners stick with us year after year. Paul Adeyemi runs this office, and he expects the crew to treat every San Antonio home like their own family lives there.
Styles & brands we work with




Ductwork Cleaning in San Antonio
Ductwork Cleaning in San Antonio means clearing the full supply and return runs of everything that’s accumulated since the house was built or last cleaned. In a 1980s Stone Oak home, our crew found flexible ducts that had been partially crushed during a past renovation, causing a 40% airflow loss and a musty smell every time the AC kicked on. Using a Rotobrush system with negative pressure, we cleared the accumulated caliche dust and cedar pollen, then sealed the crushed runs and replaced the registers. After that, the blower motor stopped struggling and the homeowner’s cedar fever symptoms eased within a week. That’s what a proper clean should do, and it’s what we aim for on every system.
For most San Antonio homes, a full ductwork cleaning costs $450 to $750. Larger two-story homes or systems with long, sprawling runs in places like Alamo Ranch may run toward the upper end or slightly beyond. We always give the exact price in writing before work starts, and that price does not change once we’re inside.
Supply Duct Cleaning
Supply ducts carry conditioned air from the blower to every room, and they’re the first place dust and pet hair collect. In San Antonio’s cedar-heavy winters, the supply side also catches a sticky film of pollen that air filters never see. We run brushes and negative-pressure extraction the full length of each supply run, not just the first few feet from the register.
Return Duct Cleaning
The return side is often dirtier than the supply side, because it’s pulling unfiltered household air back to the blower. In older homes with original flexible runs, returns can also pull in attic dust through small tears or loose connections. We inspect and clean the full return path, then check for leaks so the system isn’t re-contaminating itself within a month.
Air Duct Inspection in San Antonio
Air Duct Inspection in San Antonio is where we start on almost every job, and it’s the only honest way to know whether your ducts need cleaning or repair. A camera pushed through the runs shows us caliche-packed sections, torn flex duct, mold spots, and whether previous cleaners actually did the job they charged for. A basic inspection runs $150 to $300, and we waive that fee when you move forward with a full cleaning. For homes near Salado Creek or the Medina River, inspection is especially worth it: recurrent flood moisture can leave hidden mold that a standard cleaning won’t address without antimicrobial treatment.
If the camera shows clean ductwork, we’ll tell you that and recommend saving your money. We’d rather lose one job than sell a cleaning that doesn’t need doing. San Antonio homeowners respect that, and it’s why our referral rate stays high.
Video Inspection
Nothing replaces eyes on the actual duct surface. Our video inspection captures real-time footage from inside your system, which we review with you on-site. You’ll see exactly what we’re seeing, including any sections that were already damaged, crushed, or disconnected before we touch anything.
Full System Evaluation
Beyond the ducts themselves, a full evaluation looks at the blower, coil, filter housing, and registers as one connected system. A dirty coil can re-soil clean ducts in a month, and a wrong-size filter can undo half the benefit of a cleaning. We check what’s actually there and give you a straight recommendation, not a scare list.
Trusted Brands We Service in San Antonio
We work on all major residential HVAC and duct brands across San Antonio, including Lennox service in San Antonio, and our techs are familiar with the flexible duct systems common in 1970s through 2000s housing stock throughout the area. Because we stock common replacement sections, registers, and sealing materials locally, a torn run we find during a cleaning in Schertz or a disconnected boot in Boerne can usually be repaired the same visit. We use professional equipment from Rotobrush and Nikro for cleaning and antimicrobial treatment, and we carry Guardsman products for homes that need mold remediation. If you’ve been told you need specialty parts or a multi-week wait, call us first. Most of what San Antonio homes need is on our truck.

AfterCommon Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in San Antonio Homes
- Caliche dust packed into long flex runs. San Antonio’s fine limestone dust settles deep in ductwork, especially in sprawling single-story homes common in Alamo Ranch and far northwest SA. Standard short-brush cleaning misses these compacted sections, so we camera-inspect every run after cleaning to confirm it’s actually clear.
- Crushed or disconnected flex ducts in older attics. We regularly find original flexible ducts torn, sagging, or crushed flat under insulation in 1980s and 1990s homes across Stone Oak and the northeast side. A cleaning alone won’t fix the airflow loss or the attic dust pulling into the living space, so we repair or replace those sections as part of the job.
- Cedar pollen film on return and supply surfaces. Mountain cedar season coats duct interiors with an allergenic film, and running the AC on circulate mode redistributes it through the house for weeks after the pollen peak passes. Homes with asthmatic or allergy-prone family members feel this most, and it’s one of the strongest reasons for seasonal cleaning in San Antonio.
- Mold growth in homes near creeks and flood zones. Houses near the Medina River or Salado Creek can hold enough residual moisture in ductwork to support mold, especially after a flood or repeated heavy rains. Without antimicrobial treatment following the mechanical cleaning, those spores return within weeks. We treat, then camera-check before we leave.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in San Antonio
Cedar fever pollen doesn’t just stay outside; it coats the interior surfaces of your ductwork, mixes with household dust, and recirculates every time the blower runs. In San Antonio, where mountain cedar pollen counts rank among the highest in the nation, this film accumulates within a single season. Thorough cleaning with negative-pressure extraction removes that sticky allergenic layer, and many of our customers report their cedar fever symptoms easing within a week of a clean. If allergies in your house spike every winter and then linger, your ducts are worth inspecting. Call (903) 354-8393 for a free estimate.
Homes near Salado Creek and the Medina River sit in zones with recurring flood moisture, and that moisture migrates into ductwork and supports mold growth that mechanical brushing alone won’t address. These systems need antimicrobial treatment after the mechanical clean, otherwise spores regrow within weeks. We camera-inspect these homes closely for moisture staining and surface mold before and after cleaning. If you live near either waterway and notice a musty smell when the AC runs, call us. We’ll tell you exactly what’s there and what it costs to fix.
Yes. When our inspection finds a crushed flex run, a torn outer jacket, or a disconnected boot, we quote the repair separately and make it the same visit in most cases. A cleaning on a system with open leaks just blows debris back into the living space and wastes your money, so we always recommend sealing or replacing those sections first. In the 1980s Stone Oak home we mentioned earlier, fixing the crushed runs made the cleaning actually hold. If you suspect your older home has duct damage, start with an inspection, it’s $150 to $300 and we waive it when a cleaning follows.
For most San Antonio homes, a proper cleaning holds up for 3 to 5 years, but homes in high-dust areas like new construction zones, or with pets and big families, or with cedar-sensitive family members, often benefit from a cleaning every 2 to 3 years. The caliche dust here is fine and abrasive, so it packs into flex runs faster than ordinary household dust would. If you can’t remember the last cleaning, or you wiped dust off a shelf yesterday and it’s back today, it’s time for an inspection. We’ll show you on camera whether the system is actually dirty before you spend anything.
A proper cleaning includes full-length brushing and negative-pressure extraction of every supply and return run, cleaning the blower and coil, checking and sealing any leaks, and a camera inspection after the work to confirm the system is clear. Floors are protected with shoe covers and drop cloths, and you get a photo of the clean-up before we leave. We use Rotobrush and Nikro equipment, not entry-level rental gear. The whole job for a typical San Antonio home runs $450 to $750. Call (903) 354-8393 and we’ll quote your home specifically, in writing, before anyone touches a vent.
