Your employees stop calling in sick as much. Your energy bills drop noticeably within the first month. Your HVAC system runs quieter and breaks down less often.
That’s because clean ducts let air flow the way it’s supposed to. When your system isn’t fighting through layers of dust and debris, it uses 40% to 60% less energy to move air through your building. The EPA found that indoor air pollution can be up to 10 times worse than outdoor air, and dirty ducts are often the main culprit.
Clean air ducts also mean your expensive HVAC equipment lasts decades longer instead of wearing out from overwork. You’ll see fewer repair bills and avoid those emergency breakdowns that always happen at the worst possible time.
We’ve been cleaning commercial air ducts across Cross Mountain and the San Antonio area since the late 90s. We’re veteran-owned, family-operated, and we’ve built our reputation on showing up when we say we will and fixing what needs fixing.
Our owner Henry Rodriguez became EPA certified in 1995 and has seen every type of ductwork problem you can imagine. From small office buildings to large commercial facilities, we know what works in Texas’s challenging climate. The humidity here creates perfect conditions for mold growth, and the constant dust means your ducts need attention from people who understand the local conditions.
We’re available 24/7 because business problems don’t wait for business hours. When your HVAC system goes down in the middle of summer, you need someone who’ll actually answer the phone and show up with the right tools to get you back up and running.
First, we inspect your entire ductwork system with cameras to see exactly what we’re dealing with. No guesswork, no surprises. You’ll see the same footage we see, so you know what’s actually in your ducts before we start.
Next, we seal off sections of your building so the cleaning process doesn’t disrupt your operations. Most businesses stay open during the work. We use truck-mounted vacuum systems with enough power to pull debris from hundreds of feet of ductwork without spreading contaminants into your workspace.
Our technicians clean every component – not just the main ducts. That includes the coils, fans, registers, and return air systems. We remove the buildup that’s been accumulating for years and sanitize the system to prevent future bacterial and mold growth. When we’re done, we show you before and after photos so you can see the difference, and we test airflow to prove your system is working more efficiently.

Real commercial air duct cleaning goes far beyond running a vacuum through your main ducts. We clean every part of your HVAC system that air touches – the supply ducts, return ducts, registers, grilles, coils, heat exchangers, and the air handling unit itself.
In Cross Mountain’s climate, this comprehensive approach matters even more. The combination of humidity and dust creates ideal conditions for mold and bacterial growth throughout your system. We don’t just remove visible debris; we sanitize the entire system with EPA-approved antimicrobial treatments that prevent future contamination.
You’ll also get a detailed report showing airflow measurements before and after cleaning, along with photos documenting the work. Many of our commercial clients use this documentation for insurance purposes or to meet regulatory requirements. We’re licensed and insured specifically for commercial HVAC work in Texas, which means you’re protected if anything goes wrong during the cleaning process.
Most commercial buildings benefit from professional air duct cleaning every 3 to 5 years, but Cross Mountain’s climate often requires more frequent service. Buildings with high occupancy, restaurants, medical facilities, or those that generate dust should consider annual cleaning.
The key factors are how quickly contaminants build up in your specific environment and how hard your HVAC system has to work. If you’re noticing increased energy bills, more employee sick days, or visible dust coming from vents, it’s time for cleaning regardless of when you last had it done.
We recommend scheduling during mild weather when your HVAC demands are lower, typically in spring or fall. This minimizes any disruption to your business operations.
Yes, but the amount depends on how dirty your system is and how efficiently it was running before cleaning. Recent studies show that commercial buildings typically see 20% to 40% reductions in HVAC energy consumption after professional cleaning.
The savings come from improved airflow. When ducts are clogged with debris, your system works much harder to move the same amount of air. Clean ducts allow air to flow freely, so your equipment doesn’t have to run as long or work as hard to maintain comfortable temperatures.
Most of our commercial clients see the cleaning cost pay for itself within the first year through lower utility bills. The energy savings continue for years, making it one of the most cost-effective building maintenance investments you can make.
In most cases, yes. We work section by section and can usually keep most of your building operational during the cleaning process. We schedule the work to minimize disruption to your business hours and operations.
For larger commercial buildings, we often work during evenings, weekends, or in phases over several days. This allows you to maintain normal business operations while we systematically clean your entire ductwork system.
The only time we might need to shut down your HVAC system completely is during the final sanitization process, which typically takes just a few hours. We coordinate all timing with you in advance so there are no surprises that could affect your business.
There are several clear indicators that it’s time for professional duct cleaning. Visible dust blowing from vents is the most obvious sign, but you might also notice musty odors when your HVAC system starts up, increased dust on surfaces throughout your building, or unexplained increases in energy costs.
Employee health complaints can also signal air quality problems. If people are experiencing more allergies, respiratory issues, or general discomfort in your building, contaminated ducts could be circulating allergens, mold spores, and other pollutants.
We offer free inspections with camera equipment that shows you exactly what’s inside your ductwork. You’ll see the same footage we see, so you can make an informed decision based on the actual condition of your system rather than guessing.
Professional cleaning uses truck-mounted vacuum systems with enough power to remove debris from your entire duct system. Cheap services often use portable equipment that can’t generate sufficient suction for thorough cleaning and may actually spread contaminants around your building.
Real commercial duct cleaning also includes all system components – coils, fans, heat exchangers, and air handling units. Budget services typically only clean the main trunk lines, leaving most of the contamination untouched.
Professional services provide documentation, before and after photos, airflow testing, and guarantees on their work. They’re also properly licensed and insured for commercial HVAC work. Cheap cleaning might save money upfront, but it often doesn’t actually solve the problem and sometimes makes things worse.
Absolutely. The CDC reports that 50% of HVAC systems contain mold, which can cause respiratory problems and worsen allergies. Professional cleaning removes these biological contaminants before they can circulate through your building.
Clean ducts also reduce the amount of dust, pollen, and other allergens in your indoor air. Many of our commercial clients report fewer employee sick days and improved comfort levels after professional cleaning.
Indoor air quality directly affects productivity and employee satisfaction. When people can breathe easily and aren’t dealing with constant dust or musty odors, they’re more comfortable and focused. It’s an investment in your team’s health and your business’s operational efficiency.
