Fast, Reliable Air Duct Cleaning Across Bee Cave
Air duct cleaning in Bee Cave typically runs $350-$750 for a full residential system, and most jobs are completed in a single visit with same-day scheduling available. We’re Bee Cave‘s local air duct cleaning team, and we’ve been driving out to the Hill Country from our Houston headquarters for over 42 years to serve homeowners in ZIP 78738 and the surrounding Austin metro.
Bee Cave isn’t a quick in-and-out market for us. The homes are large, the HVAC systems are complex, and the conditions that foul ductwork here don’t match what we see in flat suburban neighborhoods east of I-35. That’s why we offer specialized HVAC Cleaning - Bee Cave services tailored to these unique conditions. We know the master-planned communities - Falconhead, Spanish Oaks, Spillman Ranch - and we know what builder-grade flex-duct looks like after five summers in a 130°F attic. When you call (866) 347-2063, you’ll reach a live person at our office, 24 hours a day. We’ll give you an honest price before we dispatch a technician, and we’ll show up when we say we will.

Wade Kellerman, who leads our company, has never wavered from that standard since 1984.
Bee Cave homeowners call us back because we don’t bait-and-switch. The price we quote on the phone is the price on the invoice. Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and equipped with camera inspection systems so you see the condition of your ducts before we start and after we finish.

Our Air Duct Cleaning Services in Bee Cave
Residential Duct Cleaning
Bee Cave’s housing stock demands a different approach than standard suburban duct cleaning. Most homes here run 3,000-5,500 square feet with multi-zone HVAC systems and long flex-duct runs through unconditioned attics. Our Air Duct Cleaning team uses Rotobrush and Nikro equipment to agitate and extract built-up dust, pollen, and construction particulate from every branch of these oversized systems. We don’t clean the easy runs and call it done.
Commercial Duct Cleaning
Bee Cave’s retail and office spaces along Highway 71 and in the Hill Country Galleria area face the same cedar pollen and caliche dust load as residential properties, often with rooftop package units that get overlooked. We clean commercial ductwork with the same camera-verified process, minimizing disruption to business hours and providing documentation for property managers and landlords.
Supply Duct Cleaning
Supply ducts push conditioned air into your living spaces, but in Bee Cave’s newer homes they’re only half the system. We clean every supply branch from the plenum to the register, including the hard-to-reach lines that run over great rooms and through tray ceilings in Spanish Oaks and Falconhead properties. Partial cleaning leaves particulate in the system; we don’t do partial.
Return Duct Cleaning
Return ducts are where Bee Cave’s cedar pollen problem lives. These lines pull air back to the HVAC unit, and in homes backing onto cedar ridgelines, they become concentrated allergen reservoirs. Our return duct cleaning includes HEPA-filtered negative air extraction to remove microscopic pollen particles that standard vacuums recirculate, which is part of our Air Quality & Sanitizing in Bee Cave service designed for true allergy relief. This is the service that separates allergy relief from cosmetic dusting.
Full System Cleaning
Most Bee Cave homes need full system cleaning, not supply-only or return-only. Our full system service covers supply trunks, return trunks, branch lines, boots, and registers, with camera inspection before and after. We treat the HVAC unit, blower, and coil as integrated components - because in a multi-zone system, dirty air anywhere contaminates clean air everywhere else.
Video Inspection
Every job starts and ends with video inspection. We feed a camera through your ductwork and show you what we’re seeing - flex-duct separations, pollen buildup, construction debris from the original build, or seal failures caused by attic heat cycling. When we find separated or leaking ducts, we can perform Duct Repair & Sealing in Bee Cave to restore system integrity. After cleaning, we run the camera again. You keep the visual record. No claims, just proof.

Trusted Brands We Service in Bee Cave
We clean and service ductwork connected to all major HVAC brands, and we specify professional-grade equipment from Rotobrush, Nikro, Honeywell, and Aprilaire for our own cleaning and filtration work. These are the same brands serious HVAC contractors in the Austin area specify for new installations. For Bee Cave homeowners, that means replacement parts and upgraded filtration components are available without long lead times - we’re not waiting on specialty orders from out of state. If your system needs a media filter upgrade or a UV light installation after cleaning, we stock what fits.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Bee Cave Homes
- Builder-grade flex-duct seal failures in Spillman Ranch and similar communities. The 130°F attic heat in Bee Cave degrades adhesive seals and flex-duct liner faster than in shaded or better-insulated attics. We regularly find separated joints that blow conditioned air into the attic and pull dusty attic air into the living space - a problem no surface cleaning fixes.
- Cedar pollen reservoirs in return ducts after winter cold fronts. Homes backing onto ridgelines in Falconhead and Spanish Oaks see visible amber pollen coating on return grilles within days of a cedar-release event. Standard cleaning without HEPA containment spreads this pollen deeper into the system.
- Construction dust baked onto duct walls from ongoing development. Bee Cave’s still-active residential construction stirs caliche and limestone dust that enters HVAC systems through intake vents and settles in ductwork. Summer attic heat bakes this dust onto flex-duct walls, making it harder to remove with each passing year.
- Partial cleaning by inexperienced crews who don’t understand multi-zone systems. A 4,200 square foot home with five zones requires five times the attention of a standard ranch house. Crews who quote flat rates often clean one or two zones and leave the rest, or skip return lines entirely because they’re harder to access.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Bee Cave, TX
Full system air duct cleaning in Bee Cave typically runs $450-$750 for homes between 3,000 and 4,500 square feet, and $650-$950 for larger properties up to 5,500 square feet with multi-zone systems. Return-only or supply-only cleaning runs $250-$450, though we generally don’t recommend partial service for Bee Cave’s allergen conditions.
What moves the price: number of zones and registers, accessibility of attic runs, condition of flex-duct (damaged duct requires repair before cleaning), and whether HEPA allergen remediation is needed after cedar season. We disclose the full price before we start. No coupons that balloon at the door. No scare tactics about “toxic mold” that isn’t there.

FAQs - Air Duct Cleaning in Bee Cave
Cedar pollen is microscopic and adhesive; once pulled into your return ducts during a winter cold front, it recirculates through your HVAC system until physically removed. In Bee Cave, where cedar density is highest in the Austin metro, annual post-season cleaning prevents pollen buildup that triggers recurring allergy symptoms. Call (866) 347-2063 to schedule - we book fastest in January and February.
Yes, but only full system cleaning with agitation and HEPA extraction removes caliche and limestone dust that’s been baked onto duct walls by attic heat. Surface vacuuming or register wiping won’t touch it. We see this exact pattern in newer Falconhead phases and homes downwind of active construction. Call for a camera inspection and we’ll show you what’s actually in there.
We feed a high-resolution camera through your supply and return trunks, recording the condition of flex-duct, seals, and particulate buildup at every branch. You watch the feed in real time. After cleaning, we run the camera again to verify removal. For Bee Cave’s large homes with long attic runs, this is the only way to confirm the job reached every zone.
Yes, and we consider anything less a disservice in this market. Bee Cave’s 3,000-5,500 square foot homes with multi-zone systems require complete supply and return cleaning to prevent cross-contamination. Cleaning supply only leaves pollen and dust in the return side, which immediately recontaminates the supply. We quote full system work by default.
That amber dust is cedar pollen, and its rapid reappearance means your return ducts are acting as a reservoir - pollen settled in the trunk lines during the freeze and now recirculates with every HVAC cycle. Standard cleaning without HEPA containment often worsens this by dislodging pollen deeper into the system. Our negative-air process with sealed containment is designed specifically for this Bee Cave pattern. Call (866) 347-2063 - we’ll inspect it and show you exactly where it’s hiding.
