We’ve been driving to Keene since 1984, back when Johnson County was still mostly farmland and the university was the heartbeat of the town. Our Air Duct Cleaning team knows the difference between a 1955 ranch on a slab and a 1980s split-level, and we know what the black clay soil out here does to the ductwork underneath them. If your vents are pushing dust, your allergies have worsened, or your system just smells off, call (866) 347-2063. We’ll give you an upfront price before we start, and we stand behind the work with our 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing.
Why Bellows Air Duct & Vent Co. of Texas Is Keene’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
Keene is not Burleson, and it’s not Cleburne. The housing stock here is older, the lots are more open to the wind, and the duct systems were installed when Southwestern Adventist University was still growing its faculty housing. We’ve cleaned ducts on Hillcrest Drive, near the university campus, and along the older stretches of Old Betsy Road where the 1960s ranches sit shoulder to shoulder. Homeowners here call us back because we show them the problem before we fix it, and we don’t change the price at the door.
Our reputation in Keene is built on showing up when we say we will and finishing in one visit. Every technician is background-checked and uniformed, and every job starts and ends with a camera inspection you can see for yourself. Calls are answered by a live person 24 hours a day, not an app or a voicemail tree. Wade Kellerman, who leads this company, set that standard over 42 years ago, and it hasn’t changed.
We don’t bait-switch with coupon pricing. The number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. If something’s not right, we make it right with no paperwork and no arguing. That’s the 90-Day Done Right Promise, and it’s stamped on every job we do in 76059.
Our Air Duct Cleaning Services in Keene
Residential Duct Cleaning in Keene
Most Keene homes were built between the 1950s and 1980s for university faculty and staff, and many still run on original sheet-metal or early flex-duct systems. These aging networks collect agricultural dust from the surrounding Johnson County farmland at a rate you won’t see in the tree-canopied suburbs north of here. Our residential cleaning pulls that debris out with HEPA-contained vacuums from Nikro and Rotobrush, and we camera-inspect every run before and after so you see the difference. Most Keene homes are done in four to six hours.
Commercial Duct Cleaning in Keene
Keene’s commercial base is smaller than its neighbors, but the university buildings, local clinics, and retail spaces along Old Betsy Road still need clean air systems that meet occupancy health standards. We work around class schedules and business hours, and we bring the same camera-verified process to commercial jobs that we do to homes. No disruption, no guesswork, no bait pricing.
Supply Duct Cleaning in Keene
Supply ducts push conditioned air into your rooms, but in Keene’s slab-on-grade ranches, those supplies often run through attic spaces that hit 140°F or higher from May through September. That heat degrades duct liner, and degraded liner sheds particles into your air. We clean supply lines with agitation tools and negative-air HEPA collection, then verify the integrity of the liner with our video system. If it’s failing, we’ll show you exactly where.
Return Duct Cleaning in Keene
Return ducts pull air back to your HVAC unit, and in Keene’s older homes they’re often the dirtiest part of the system because they’ve been drawing in unfiltered attic air through gaps for decades. Johnson County’s foundation movement cracks seals and loosens collars. We clean returns thoroughly and seal accessible leaks, which often improves airflow enough that homeowners notice the difference immediately.
Full System Cleaning
This is what most Keene homeowners need, and it’s what we recommend for any house that hasn’t been cleaned in five years or more. Full system cleaning covers supply and return ducts, the trunk lines, the plenum, and accessible registers. We use Rotobrush contact cleaning for light debris and Nikro HEPA negative-air systems for heavier buildup. The camera inspection before and after is non-negotiable, and the upfront price covers the complete job.
Video Inspection
We don’t guess about what’s in your ducts, and you shouldn’t have to trust us on our word alone. Our video inspection feeds a camera through your entire duct network, and we show you the footage on site. In Keene, this step regularly reveals problems that homeowners never suspected: flex-duct collars pulled loose by foundation movement, liner deterioration from attic heat, and rodent or insect debris in unused runs. The inspection takes 30-45 minutes and is included with every full cleaning.

Trusted Brands We Service in Keene
We clean with professional-grade equipment from Rotobrush, Nikro, and Honeywell, the same brands serious HVAC contractors specify for their own jobs. Rotobrush contact cleaning heads scrub duct walls where debris cakes on, Nikro HEPA vacuums capture particles down to 0.3 microns without redistributing them through your house, and Honeywell media filters and air quality accessories are available for homeowners who want to maintain results between cleanings. We stock common fittings and replacement parts locally, so if our video inspection turns up a damaged section of duct, we can often repair it during the same visit rather than scheduling a return trip.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Keene Homes
- Flex-duct collars loosened by foundation movement. Johnson County’s expansive black clay soils shift seasonally, and that movement pulls flex-duct collars loose at trunk connections. Homeowners feel weak airflow and smell mustiness; our camera inspection finds the gap every time.
- Attic duct liner cooked by 140°F+ summer heat. Keene’s slab ranches route ducts through unconditioned attics that bake for five months straight. Liner degrades, flakes, and circulates through your vents. Video inspection catches it before it becomes a chronic problem.
- Agricultural dust and grassland allergens accumulating faster than in DFW suburbs. Keene sits on open farmland with minimal tree buffer. Pollen, mold spores, and fine particulates from surrounding pastureland infiltrate older systems at higher rates, making cleaning more urgent here than in denser suburbs.
- Hidden air leaks from decades of settling. Original sheet-metal seams and tape from the 1960s and 1970s have dried, cracked, or pulled apart. Conditioned air escapes into attics and crawl spaces, and unfiltered air gets drawn in. We find these leaks during camera inspection and seal what we can access.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Keene, TX
A typical residential duct cleaning in Keene runs $280-$520 depending on system size, accessibility, and buildup level. A small ranch with 8-10 vents and light debris falls at the lower end. A larger home with 15+ vents, heavy agricultural dust loading, or multiple trunk lines runs higher. Commercial systems and properties near Southwestern Adventist University are quoted individually based on square footage and HVAC configuration.
What affects your price: the number of supply and return vents, whether your system uses original flex-duct or sheet metal, the condition of attic ductwork we need to access, and whether video inspection reveals damage requiring repair. We disclose the full price before we lift a single tool. No coupons that balloon at the door. No scare tactics. The number on the phone is the number on the invoice.
We also offer a permanent 5% Senior and Veteran discount, a $50 credit on any repair over $250, and a free second opinion on any written estimate you’ve already received. Call (866) 347-2063 for a free estimate on your Keene home.

FAQs - Air Duct Cleaning in Keene
Most Keene homeowners benefit from duct cleaning every three to five years, but homes on open farmland with original 1950s-1980s ductwork often need it closer to every three years. The combination of aging flex-duct, minimal tree canopy, and constant exposure to grassland pollen and mold spores means debris accumulates faster here than in denser suburbs. If you run your HVAC near-continuously from May through September, as most Keene residents do, that schedule pulls even more particulates through the system. Call (866) 347-2063 and we’ll assess your specific setup with a free estimate.
Yes, it does. Johnson County’s expansive black clay soils shift significantly with moisture changes, and that movement cracks slab foundations and pulls flex-duct collars loose at trunk connections. We find this hidden damage regularly during video inspections in Keene homes, and it causes air loss, contamination bypass, and musty odors that no filter change will fix. We re-secure loose collars and seal accessible gaps as part of our full system cleaning. Call (866) 347-2063 to schedule an inspection.
The musty smell is likely coming from degraded duct liner in your attic runs or from debris accumulated in loose flex-duct collars, not from your filter. Keene’s 1960s ranches route ducts through attics that exceed 140°F in summer, accelerating liner deterioration, and black clay soil movement often creates gaps where unfiltered attic air and moisture enter. Changing the filter only addresses the return side; it doesn’t touch these deeper problems. Our camera inspection pinpoints the source, and our full system cleaning removes the debris causing the odor. Call (866) 347-2063 for a free estimate.
Yes, we regularly clean ducts in the neighborhoods surrounding Southwestern Adventist University, including Hillcrest Drive and the faculty housing areas nearby. These mid-century ranches have the same aging duct systems and foundation-movement issues we see throughout Keene, and we’re familiar with the access and parking considerations near campus. Most university-area jobs are completed in a single visit. Call (866) 347-2063 to schedule.
A typical full residential duct cleaning in Keene costs between $280 and $520, with most homes falling in the $320-$420 range. Smaller ranches with 8-10 vents and moderate debris are at the lower end; larger homes with heavy agricultural dust loading, 15+ vents, or accessible attic ductwork repairs run higher. We give you the exact price before we start, and that price does not change. We also honor a permanent 5% Senior and Veteran discount and provide a free second opinion on any written estimate. Call (866) 347-2063 for your free estimate today.
We serviced a 1960s ranch on Hillcrest Drive near the university. The homeowner reported musty smells; our Rotobrush video inspection revealed that black clay soil foundation movement had pulled a flex-duct collar loose at the trunk connection, causing air loss and debris infiltration. We re-secured the collar and performed a full system cleaning with a Nikro HEPA vacuum, restoring airflow and eliminating odors.
