Why Bellows Air Duct & Vent Co. of Texas Is Converse’s Preferred HVAC Cleaning Company
Converse homeowners call us back because we show them what’s in their ducts before we start and prove it’s clean before we leave. Every job gets a camera inspection, start to finish. No guesswork, no claims without evidence.
Our 90-Day Done Right Promise applies to every Converse job we do. If something isn’t right, we return and make it right. No paperwork to file, no arguments. That’s been our policy since 1984.
Calls to our office go to a live person, 24 hours a day. Not a voicemail tree, not an app. When your AC is struggling in July or your heat exchanger is cycling dirty air through the house in January, you talk to someone who can dispatch a technician.
Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed, and they arrive with professional-grade Rotobrush and Nikro equipment. We’ve cleaned systems in the 78109 ZIP code long enough to recognize the patterns: sagged flex ducts in unconditioned attics, caliche dust packed so tight it holds its shape, evaporator coils clogged with mountain cedar pollen from the Ashe juniper corridor. That local knowledge means faster diagnosis and a more thorough clean.
Our HVAC Cleaning Services in Converse
Evaporator Coil Cleaning
The evaporator coil in your Converse home sits in a dark, damp environment that’s prime real estate for mold and bacteria once dust gets a foothold. In the 78109 area, we see coils choked with a distinctive mix of caliche limestone dust and cedar pollen that forms a nearly waterproof mat. A typical evaporator coil cleaning in Converse runs $280-$450, depending on accessibility and contamination level. We use foaming cleaners and low-pressure rinses that won’t damage delicate aluminum fins, then verify airflow improvement with our cameras.
Blower Cleaning
Your blower motor and wheel are the lungs of the system. When they’re coated in dust, they can’t move the volume of air your thermostat is calling for, which means longer run times, higher electric bills, and uneven temperatures from room to room. In Converse’s older tract homes, we frequently find blower assemblies caked with debris that broke loose from sagging flex duct upstream. Blower cleaning in Converse typically costs $200-$340. We remove the assembly when possible, clean it outside the plenum, and balance the wheel before reinstallation.
Condenser Cleaning
The outdoor condenser unit takes a beating in Converse. Summer temperatures push 100 degrees for weeks at a time, and the same caliche dust that infiltrates your ducts also blankets your condenser coils, insulating them from the air they need to reject heat. A dirty condenser in July can raise your electric bill 20% or more and still leave you uncomfortable. Condenser cleaning in Converse runs $180-$320. We straighten fins, remove debris from the cabinet, and treat the coils to restore heat transfer efficiency.
Air Handler Cleaning
The air handler is where everything comes together: blower, coil, drain pan, and filter rack. In Converse’s military rental market, air handlers often go years between proper cleanings as tenants rotate through on PCS orders. We’ve opened air handlers in rental homes near Randolph and found drain pans full of sludge, corroded secondary drains, and filter racks jammed with the wrong size filters forced in by hand. Air handler cleaning in Converse ranges from $320-$580 for a full teardown and antimicrobial treatment. We document every stage with camera footage you can review.

Trusted Brands We Service in Converse
We clean and service systems built with Honeywell, Rotobrush, and Guardsman components, and we stock common replacement parts for faster turnaround on Converse jobs. If your evaporator coil needs replacement rather than cleaning, we source coils that match your system’s specifications rather than forcing a universal fit. Our technicians carry EPA-approved antimicrobial treatments from Nikro for duct sanitizing when contamination warrants it. Most Converse homeowners don’t care about brand names until they need a part fast. We keep the common ones on the truck so you’re not waiting for a Houston warehouse delivery.
Common HVAC Cleaning Problems We See in Converse Homes
- Builder-grade dust cycling through new systems. Homeowners in Converse’s 2000s-era subdivisions often skip duct cleaning after a new HVAC install, assuming the system is clean. Construction dust from the original build, plus debris from the installation itself, cycles through the system and clogs the evaporator coil within a single cooling season.
- Military rental neglect. Landlords in the 78109 market rarely schedule duct maintenance between tenants. Caliche dust and cedar pollen accumulate through three or four PCS rotations until registers are nearly blocked. By then, the blower is straining and the coil is fouled.
- DIY register cleaning that misses the real problem. Pulling off a vent cover and vacuuming the visible duct gets the surface debris. It doesn’t touch the compacted contamination in sagged flex ducts running through 140-degree attics, where professional HEPA vacuuming and mechanical agitation are required.
- Mountain cedar pollen accumulation. The Ashe juniper corridor makes December through February brutal for allergy sufferers in Converse. Ultrafine pollen loads enter through fresh air intakes and return grilles, embedding in duct insulation and re-releasing for months after the season ends.

FAQs - HVAC Cleaning in Converse
Every two to three years, minimum. In Converse’s military rental market, where tenants rotate on PCS orders and landlords rarely invest in maintenance between occupants, duct contamination accumulates faster than in owner-occupied homes. If you’re a landlord or a new tenant moving into a rental near JBSA-Randolph, assume the ducts haven’t been touched in years. Call (866) 347-2063 and we’ll inspect them with our camera at no charge.
Yes. Caliche dust is abrasive and alkaline, and it doesn’t break down in moisture the way organic dust does. In Converse, it accumulates in blower wheels, embeds in evaporator coils, and packs into flex duct sags until airflow is measurably restricted. We’ve measured static pressure increases of 0.3 inches or more in systems choked with caliche. That extra resistance burns out blowers prematurely and drives up electric bills. A professional cleaning removes it mechanically, and we can treat coils to resist future buildup.
September through November, before mountain cedar season peaks. Cleaning in early fall removes the accumulated summer dust load and prepares your system for the ultrafine pollen that arrives in December. Spring is our second-busiest season, as homeowners react to allergy symptoms. We schedule year-round, but booking ahead of cedar season gives you the most benefit. Call (866) 347-2063 to reserve a fall appointment.
Yes. We specialize in the original flex duct runs found in Converse’s 1970s-1990s housing stock. These ducts degrade in attics that reach 140 degrees in summer, sagging between supports and creating debris traps that standard cleaning can’t reach. Our Rotobrush equipment with HEPA containment handles these conditions, and we inspect with cameras to identify sagging or disconnected runs that need repair. In a late-1990s tract home on Gibbs Sprawl Road near Randolph, we found original flex duct runs in the attic that had sagged, creating debris traps full of caliche dust and mountain cedar pollen. We cleaned the entire system with Rotobrush equipment, replaced a corroded evaporator coil, and treated the ducts with an EPA-approved antimicrobial-dramatically improving airflow and indoor air quality for the new tenant.
It will reduce the reservoir of pollen that continues to circulate after the season ends. Mountain cedar pollen is ultrafine, 20-30 microns, and it embeds in duct insulation and debris piles. Even when outdoor counts drop, your HVAC system re-aerosolizes stored pollen every time it cycles. Professional cleaning with HEPA vacuuming and mechanical agitation removes that reservoir. We can’t eliminate outdoor pollen, but we can stop your ducts from being a secondary source. For severe sufferers, we also offer whole-home air quality assessments. Call (866) 347-2063 to discuss options.
Converse sits immediately adjacent to Joint Base San Antonio-Randolph, making it one of the highest-turnover military rental markets in the San Antonio metro. Homes frequently go years between tenants who actually invest in maintenance, and landlords rarely schedule duct cleanings between PCS moves. That cycle of deferred upkeep, combined with the area’s caliche limestone dust that infiltrates duct systems year-round, means ductwork in Converse accumulates contamination faster and more severely than in owner-occupied suburbs nearby. Our technicians working the 78109 ZIP regularly find duct systems in rental homes near JBSA-Randolph that haven’t been touched through three or four tenant rotations. It’s common to pull registers and find compacted caliche dust mixed with cedar pollen almost solid enough to hold its shape, a pattern that’s notably worse here than in owner-occupied suburbs like Schertz just a few miles northeast. That’s not a cleaning challenge you can solve with a shop vac and a vent brush. It takes professional equipment, local experience, and the patience to do it right.
