Our Air Duct Cleaning team serves every Austin neighborhood with same-week scheduling and a written price before anything starts. Call (361) 320-9467 and you’ll speak to a live person who can walk you through what to expect.
Why Relay Home Co. Is Austin’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
Roofing in Austin homeowners reach out to us for one reason more than any other: they want a crew that shows up when promised and doesn’t turn a simple cleaning into an upselling conversation. We built our Austin operation around that expectation. When you book, you get a live arrival time you can track to your door. When the work is done, you get before-and-after photos so you can see what came out of your ducts. And the price? It’s in writing before we start, not a rough guess that balloons once we open the first vent cover.
The homes we clean in Austin span everything from 1970s ranchers in Crestview to brand-new builds in Circle C and Mueller. That range matters because duct systems age differently depending on construction era, insulation type, and whether the previous owner ever changed filters regularly. We’ve seen return vents caked in drywall dust from renovation jobs in Tarrytown, and we’ve seen flex duct crushed by attic storage in Leander-adjacent subdivisions. Knowing what to look for in each part of town is what keeps our Austin customers calling back and referring neighbors.
Every tech who enters your home is background-checked, uniformed, and works under the Relay Visibility Guarantee. That promise applies across our entire family of home-service brands, and it means the same standard whether you’re booking a duct cleaning or HVAC in Austin. Led by Mitch Calloway, our Austin team holds every job to that bar.
Our Air Duct Cleaning Services in Austin
Full-System Duct Cleaning
This is the service most Austin homeowners book when they notice dust accumulating on surfaces within days of cleaning, or when allergy symptoms spike indoors. We clean the full run: supply ducts, return ducts, registers, and the main trunk line. In Austin’s cedar-heavy allergy season, from December through February, this service books out fast, so we recommend calling early in fall.
Dryer Vent Cleaning
Lint-clogged dryer vents are a fire hazard, and Austin’s hot, dry summers make that risk worse. If your dryer takes two cycles to dry a load, the vent is likely restricted. We run a rotary brush through the full vent run and clear the exterior termination point. Most single-story Austin homes take under an hour; two-story runs with long horizontal stretches take longer.
HVAC Return and Supply Plenum Cleaning
Older central Austin homes, particularly pier-and-beam houses in Hyde Park and North Loop, often have return plenums that have never been opened. We remove the grille, clean the plenum box, and seal any gaps where attic air is getting pulled into the system. This makes a measurable difference in homes where the AC struggles to keep up in August.
Post-Construction Duct Cleaning
Renovation dust is a real problem in Austin’s flipper-heavy market. If you bought a fixed-up home in Allandale or Brentwood and the ducts were never cleaned after the gut job, you’re breathing drywall dust and sawdust every time the system runs. We clean the entire duct network and replace filters, then document everything with photos before and after.

Trusted Brands We Service in Austin
Our Locksmith in Austin customers run a mix of equipment, from Raynor and Chamberlain openers to LiftMaster and Genie units on newer builds. Having a team that understands all four brands matters when an opener gets misaligned or a safety sensor trips mid-cycle. We carry common Genie and LiftMaster replacement parts on the truck, which means most opener-related fixes in Austin are handled in a single visit rather than a parts-order follow-up. If your opener is older and you’re weighing repair against replacement, we’ll give you an honest read based on the unit’s condition, not a push toward the most expensive option.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Austin Homes
- Cedar pollen and construction dust packed into returns. Austin’s winter cedar season dumps a massive pollen load, and if your return vents are pulling from anywhere near a construction site or unpaved alley, that fine dust ends up baked onto your duct walls. We find this constantly in east Austin neighborhoods near active infill builds.
- Crushed flex duct in hot attics. Austin attics routinely hit 140°F in summer, and cheap flex duct installed by tract builders doesn’t hold up well to that heat plus occasional foot traffic from cable installers or pest-control visits. Crushed runs restrict airflow and strain your blower motor.
- Rodent activity in older pier-and-beam homes. Central Austin neighborhoods with raised foundations, particularly north of 45th Street, give rodents easy access to duct runs under the house. We find nesting material and droppings in ducts far more often than homeowners expect.
- Filter neglect on rental properties. Austin’s strong rental market means many homes see tenant turnover with inconsistent filter changes. A one-inch filter left for a year turns into a blocked coil and a duct system full of recirculated dust. Property owners around UT campus and Riverside deal with this regularly.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Austin, TX
A full-system duct cleaning for a typical Austin home runs $300 – $600, with the final number driven by square footage, number of stories, and how many registers the home has. Dryer vent cleaning in Austin runs $100 – $200. Post-construction cleaning on a recently renovated home tends to land at the higher end of the range, since the ducts carry more debris.
