We’ve been driving the I-10 corridor to New Braunfels since 1984. We know the difference between a 1970s ranch near Gruene with original fiberglass duct board and a 4,000-square-foot build in Vintage Oaks that still has construction debris in the flex runs. The Hill Country caliche dust, the mountain cedar pollen that hits every December through January, the river-corridor humidity - these aren’t abstract problems for us. We see them in your returns every week. Call (866) 347-2063 and a live person answers, 24 hours a day. We’ll be there when we say.
Why Bellows Air Duct & Vent Co. of Texas Is New Braunfels’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
Forty-two years in this business means we’ve outlasted every bait-and-switch operator that’s come through Texas. New Braunfels homeowners call us because we’ve built a reputation on showing up, doing the work, and leaving without a story about why the price changed. Our Air Duct Cleaning team carries camera inspection gear on every truck - before-and-after footage, not promises.
We answer the phone. Not a voicemail tree, not an app. A live person, any hour. That’s mattered to homeowners in Havenwood and Texas Crossing who’ve dealt with contractors who don’t call back. Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed, and they know New Braunfels: the older homes off Seguin Avenue with sagging flex duct, the new construction in ZIP 78132 where builders never cleaned the system before handing over keys, the river properties along Loop 337 that sit empty all winter growing mold in the ducts.
Most New Braunfels jobs we dispatch complete in one trip. We bring Rotobrush agitation systems, Nikro HEPA vacuums, and video inspection scopes. If we find something unexpected - a collapsed duct behind a wall, a detached return in a crawl space - we have the parts and the crew to fix it then, not schedule a return visit. That’s the square deal.
Our Air Duct Cleaning Services in New Braunfels
Residential Duct Cleaning
New Braunfels homes split into two categories, and we clean both. The German-heritage core near downtown and Gruene has 1950s-1980s ranch-style houses, many still running original flex duct or early fiberglass duct board that’s past its service life. We handle these carefully - old duct board crumbles if you treat it like new metal. Then there’s the explosive growth in ZIP 78132: Vintage Oaks, Havenwood, Texas Crossing, and the other master-planned communities where we routinely find drywall dust, insulation fibers, and construction debris that was sealed inside the system when the house was built. Our Rotobrush agitation and HEPA extraction removes what a portable shop vac never will. A typical residential duct cleaning in New Braunfels runs $350-$550 for a single-system home.
Commercial Duct Cleaning
New Braunfels’s commercial base has shifted from small-town retail to tourism-heavy hospitality along the Comal and Guadalupe corridors. Restaurants, bed-and-breakfasts, and vacation-rental management companies face inspection cycles and insurance requirements we understand. We clean commercial systems to the same standard as our residential work: camera inspection before and after, documented results, upfront pricing. Commercial jobs in New Braunfels typically start at $800 and scale with system complexity. We schedule around your operating hours, and we don’t leave until the work is verified.
Supply Duct Cleaning
Supply ducts push conditioned air into your rooms. In New Braunfels, these lines collect Hill Country dust, pollen from the Ashe juniper belt, and - in river-adjacent properties - mold spores that propagate through the system every time the AC cycles. We clean supply runs with mechanical agitation and negative-air extraction, then verify with camera. Supply duct cleaning as a standalone service in New Braunfels generally runs $200-$350, though we typically recommend full-system cleaning for homes that haven’t been serviced in five or more years.
Return Duct Cleaning
Return ducts pull air back to your handler, and they’re the primary entry point for everything your filters miss. In New Braunfels, we see heavy loading in returns during cedar fever season - December through January - when mountain cedar pollen infiltrates through gaps in the building envelope and coats the duct interior. Returns also concentrate construction debris in newer homes. We inspect returns with video scopes before cleaning, so you see what we see. Standalone return duct cleaning in New Braunfels is typically $180-$300.
Full System Cleaning
This is what most New Braunfels homes need. Full system cleaning covers supply and return ducts, the air handler cabinet, blower assembly, and coil access points. We bring everything: Rotobrush mechanical agitation, Nikro HEPA negative-air machines, and camera verification at every stage. For river-corridor properties and vacation rentals that sit dormant through winter, full system cleaning includes moisture assessment and sanitizing treatment where indicated. In New Braunfels, full system cleaning runs $450-$650 for most residential properties, with larger homes and acreage properties scaling from there.
Video Inspection
Every Bellows job includes video inspection - before work starts and after we finish. In New Braunfels, this matters more than most places. We’ve shown homeowners in Gruene the mold colonies growing in their river-adjacent ductwork, and we’ve shown buyers in Vintage Oaks the construction debris their builder left behind. The camera doesn’t lie, and the footage is yours to keep. Video inspection as a standalone diagnostic service runs $150-$250 in New Braunfels, though we waive this fee when you proceed with cleaning.

Trusted Brands We Service in New Braunfels
We run professional-grade equipment from Rotobrush, Nikro, and Honeywell - the same brands serious HVAC contractors specify when they install systems in new construction here. Our trucks carry Rotobrush brush-and-vac systems for mechanical agitation in residential flex duct, Nikro HEPA-filtered negative air machines for containment and extraction, and Honeywell media filters and electronic air cleaners for homeowners who want to upgrade their filtration after cleaning. We don’t rent equipment. We own it, maintain it, and replace it on schedule. That means when we pull up to your property in New Braunfels, we’re ready to work - not calling around to find a machine.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in New Braunfels Homes
- Construction debris in new homes. In Vintage Oaks, Havenwood, and Texas Crossing, we regularly find drywall dust, insulation fibers, and wood particulate sealed inside duct systems by builders who never scheduled post-construction cleaning. These particles restrict airflow from day one and degrade your HVAC equipment faster than normal wear.
- Mold and mildew in river-corridor properties. Homes along the Comal and Guadalupe rivers, including the rental properties in Old Town and Gruene, run AC hard all summer then sit closed through winter. The residual humidity trapped in ductwork never gets a dry-out cycle. Every spring, we find active mold growth that started in October and spread through the off-season.
- Cedar fever pollen loading. New Braunfels sits at the edge of the Ashe juniper belt. The December-January mountain cedar season produces airborne particulate that overwhelms standard filters and coats return duct interiors. Homeowners who notice allergy symptoms spike indoors during this period often have pollen accumulation in their ductwork.
- Failed access points on acreage properties. New Braunfels’s rural properties in ZIPs 78130-78135 often feature detached workshops, barns, and oversized outbuildings with heavy-duty access doors. The springs and openers on these doors can fail during service access, requiring inspection and adjustment before duct cleaning can proceed. We check this first, so we’re not trapped mid-job.

FAQs - Air Duct Cleaning in New Braunfels
River-corridor properties in New Braunfels trap residual humidity in ductwork during off-season months, which promotes mold growth that doesn’t occur in drier, landlocked climates. The stop-start usage cycle - AC running hard all summer, then the property sitting closed all winter - means the ductwork never gets a natural dry-out. We inspect for moisture damage and apply sanitizing treatment where indicated. Call (866) 347-2063 for an exact quote - estimates are free.
Yes. Acreage properties in ZIPs 78130-78135 often have outbuildings with ducted HVAC or dust-collection systems, and we service these as part of our residential coverage. We inspect heavy-duty access doors and springs first, since failed hardware can block service entry. Most workshop duct cleaning in New Braunfels runs $250-$450 depending on system size. Call (866) 347-2063 for an exact quote - estimates are free.
Yes. Drywall dust and insulation fibers don’t degrade on their own, and we’ve extracted significant debris from homes in Vintage Oaks, Havenwood, and Texas Crossing that were built more than five years ago but never professionally cleaned post-construction. The debris restricts airflow and accelerates equipment wear. Construction debris removal adds $100-$200 to a standard cleaning in New Braunfels. Call (866) 347-2063 for an exact quote - estimates are free.
We handle fiberglass duct board carefully - it’s common in New Braunfels’s older German-heritage core near downtown and Gruene. The material degrades with age and can release fibers if cleaned too aggressively. We use lower-pressure agitation and HEPA containment, and we’ll tell you honestly if the duct board is too deteriorated to clean safely. Replacement may be the better option in some cases. Call (866) 347-2063 for an exact quote - estimates are free.
Yes. We dispatch to New Braunfels’s acreage properties with the equipment and parts to complete most jobs in a single visit, including heavy-duty access door inspection and adjustment. Our technicians carry Rotobrush and Nikro systems on every truck, and we background-check and uniform every crew member. Rural properties may cost slightly more due to drive time, but the price is disclosed upfront. Call (866) 347-2063 for an exact quote - estimates are free.
