Air duct cleaning in Schertz runs between $395 and $695 for a full system on a typical single-family home, and the work usually takes three to five hours.

Call (903) 354-8393 and a real person answers, day or night.
What makes Schertz different from San Antonio, just south? The limestone. The humidity. And the way those two things settle inside your ducts. Our crews know exactly what to expect when they open a return grille in a 2012 brick home off Roy Richard Drive or a newer stone-veneer two-story in the Homestead neighborhoods. We’ve cleaned enough Schertz systems to know where the dust collects, where the flex duct sags, and what a fair price looks like before we ever send a technician.
Why Mortons Air Duct San Antonio Is Schertz’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
Schertz families book with us because we do things the way homeowners wish every service company did them. We write the price down before work starts. We put shoe covers on at the door and drop cloths under every ladder. And when the job is finished, we hand you photos of your clean ducts, not just an invoice. That’s the Cedarwell Care Promise, and it’s stamped on every visit we make to Schertz neighborhoods.
Our reputation in Schertz is built one house at a time. The family on Live Oak Road whose toddler naps through our visit because we run quieter Rotobrush agitation tools instead of the loud, entry-level machines other crews bring. The couple off Borgfeld Road with two golden retrievers who asked about pet-safe products and got a clear, calm answer. There’s no pressure, no upsell script, just a careful technician who explains exactly what will happen and what it will cost before anything starts. Paul Adeyemi set that standard for our teams, and it holds on every Schertz job.
Styles & brands we work with
Air Duct Inspection in Schertz
Air Duct Inspection in Schertz is the step most homes should start with, especially the tightly-built newer houses that dominate this area. We run a camera through your supply and return ducts and show you what’s actually in there. In Schertz, that usually means a fine yellow film of limestone dust, maybe a little construction debris from the original build, and in some cases moisture that shouldn’t be there. A video inspection runs $99 to $199 depending on system size and access.
We recommend an inspection when a house changes hands, after a major remodel, or when a musty smell comes from the vents and won’t clear up with a filter change. It’s also the honest answer when someone asks whether they even need a cleaning. Many Schertz homes built in the last five or six years don’t. The camera tells you for sure.
What the Camera Shows Us
The inspection footage gives you a clear look at dust buildup, mold spots, loose duct collars, and any flex duct that has sagged in the attic. We review the video with you on a tablet and point to exactly what matters.
When to Skip the Cleaning, Not Schedule It
If your ducts are clean and your filter is good, the honest recommendation is to leave them alone. We’ll tell you that directly. The camera protects you from paying for a service your home doesn’t need, which is why Schertz families trust the inspection first.
Residential Air Duct Cleaning in Schertz
Residential Air Duct Cleaning in Schertz is a full-system job when we do it: supply ducts, return ducts, the blower motor, and the evaporator coil. A typical single-system home in Schertz costs $395 to $695 as a flat rate, agreed before we start, with no per-vent add-ons. That price covers the full clean, and if you have two systems, we quote the second system separately in writing before anything happens.
We use Rotobrush and Nikro negative-air equipment, which means debris gets pulled out of the ducts and into a sealed container instead of blown into your living room. Shoe covers go on at the door. Drop cloths protect the floors beneath every register. And when we finish, you get before-and-after photos of your own ducts, not stock images.
A Careful Process That Protects the House First
Floors, furniture, and pet areas get covered before the first register is opened. If a dog is napping in the back room, we work around it. If a toddler is down for a nap, we switch to quieter tools wherever possible. It’s service that fits into a family’s day instead of disrupting it.
One Flat Price, No Per-Vent Games
This is where Schertz homeowners get burned by other companies: a low phone quote that turns into per-vent fees after the truck arrives. We don’t do that. The price you agree to is the price you pay, and it’s written down before any work begins.
Trusted Brands We Service in Schertz
We work on all major HVAC brands found across Schertz subdivisions, from Trane and Carrier to Lennox, Goodman, and American Standard. Because these homes share so many common system types, we stock the common filter sizes and fittings our Schertz customers need, which means fewer return trips and finished jobs you can actually see. Our preference for Routobrush and Nikro comes down to performance and reliability. We also trust Abatement Technologies for high-quality filtration on jobs where fine limestone dust is a concern. If your system runs Honeywell or Aprilaire filtration, we’re familiar with those units too and can clean around them properly.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Schertz Homes
- Limestone dust that whitens registers within weeks of a basic clean. A cheap whole-house special often skips the attic runs and blower, so the fine yellow film comes right back. The job has to include the whole path, not just the visible vents.
- Sagging flex duct in hot attics. Schertz attics regularly hit 130°F or higher in July and August. Flex duct sags, kinks, and pulls loose at collars, and that lets attic air and dust into the system. A proper cleaning includes checking and resealing those connections.
- Silverfish and dust mites thriving in humid ducts. The humid subtropical climate overwhelms many AC systems’ dehumidification, and the result is a habitat inside your ductwork. That musty smell is often a sign of what’s living in there.
- Mold starting on moisture-coated dust. When 70% humidity meets a fine layer of limestone dust inside a cool duct, mold gets a foothold fast. We see this more in Schertz than in the drier suburbs south of here, and it’s a real reason to clean when it’s present.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Schertz
$395 to $695 is the honest range for one full system in Schertz, and it includes supply ducts, return ducts, the blower motor, and the evaporator coil. Watch out for lower quotes that exclude the attic runs or the coil. Call (903) 354-8393 and we’ll give you a written flat price for your home before any work starts, with free estimates always.
That smell usually comes from moisture inside the ducts, not the filter. Schertz’s humidity, often above 70% in the warmer months, can overwhelm small AC dehumidification and create damp conditions inside ductwork. Combined with fine limestone dust on the duct walls, you get a musty odor and sometimes mold. The fix is a full cleaning with negative-air equipment and, if needed, resealing sagging attic ducts.
Most don’t. Tight, newer builds on slab foundations often need nothing more than a camera inspection and a good filter for the first five to seven years. The exception is construction debris, visible mold, or a specific dust problem the camera confirms. We’d rather tell you that honestly than sell you a cleaning you don’t need. That’s the whole point of starting with an inspection.
Mold in ducts appears as dark, often green or black patches on damp surfaces, and it usually comes with a persistent musty smell that returns quickly after cleaning the vents. Normal dust is a gray or yellowish film, often with that fine limestone tone we see across Schertz. A $99 to $199 camera inspection settles it immediately, and we’ll show you the video so you can see for yourself.
We schedule duct cleaning as a real appointment, not a rushed job, so same-day service is not something we promise. What we do promise is a written flat price before any work starts and a careful clean that includes before-and-after photos. Call (903) 354-8393 and a live person will help you pick a day that works for your family.

The technician arrives in uniform, background-checked, with shoe covers on before stepping inside. Floors and furniture get protected.

That’s the Cedarwell Care Promise, backed by the 365-Day Done Right Promise.
In the Sycamore Creek subdivision, our crew found a 2016 two-story brick home where the return duct in the attic had sagged and pulled loose at a collar. The air handler was drawing 140°F attic air across a layer of limestone dust. We resealed the connection, ran our Rotobrush agitation tools with negative pressure to pull the debris out of the supply and return ducts, and showed the homeowner before-and-after photos of their flex duct. The musty smell they’d blamed on Texas heat disappeared within a day. That’s the kind of outcome we aim for on every Schertz job.
