When your commercial air ducts are clean, your employees call in sick less often. Your energy bills drop because your HVAC system isn’t working overtime to push air through clogged passages. Your workspace feels fresher, and that musty smell that’s been lingering finally disappears.
You’ll notice the difference in your monthly utility costs first. Clean ducts mean your heating and cooling systems can actually do their job without straining against years of accumulated dust, debris, and allergens that slow everything down.
The real payoff shows up in productivity. Teams work better when they’re not dealing with stuffy air, constant sneezing, or that tired feeling that comes from poor indoor air quality.
We’ve spent over 30 years solving HVAC problems for businesses across San Antonio, Houston, and Austin. We’re the family-owned company that shows up when we say we will and fixes things the right way the first time.
Live Oak businesses trust us because we understand Texas climate challenges. When your system is fighting 100-degree heat for months straight, every component works harder. We know which problems develop first and how to prevent the expensive ones.
Our licensed technicians carry the tools and parts needed to handle most commercial duct cleaning jobs without multiple trips. That means less disruption to your operations and faster results for your team.
We start with a complete inspection of your commercial HVAC system, documenting problem areas and explaining exactly what needs attention. No surprises, no upselling – just honest assessment of your ductwork condition.
Our technicians then use powerful truck-mounted vacuum systems and specialized brushes to remove accumulated dust, debris, and contaminants from every accessible section of your ductwork. We clean supply ducts, return air ducts, and all the components in between.
The final step includes sanitizing treatment to eliminate bacteria and prevent future microbial growth. We test airflow before and after to document the improvement, then walk you through what we found and what you can expect moving forward.

Your commercial air duct cleaning includes thorough cleaning of supply and return ducts, air handlers, coils, and all accessible HVAC components. We remove years of accumulated dust, allergens, and debris that restrict airflow and harbor bacteria.
Live Oak’s position in the San Antonio metro means your building faces unique challenges. Texas heat puts tremendous stress on commercial HVAC systems, and the combination of dust, pollen, and humidity creates perfect conditions for contaminant buildup in ductwork.
Our service addresses these local conditions with equipment designed for Texas commercial properties. We understand which cleaning methods work best for different building types, from small office spaces to large industrial facilities throughout the Live Oak area.
Most commercial buildings benefit from professional air duct cleaning every 3-5 years, but high-traffic businesses or those with specific air quality requirements may need more frequent service. The National Air Duct Cleaning Association recommends annual cleaning for air handling units and cleaning supply and return ductwork every 1-2 years for optimal performance.
Factors like employee count, building usage, local environmental conditions, and industry requirements all influence the ideal cleaning schedule. Buildings with restaurants, manufacturing operations, or healthcare facilities typically need more frequent attention due to higher contaminant levels.
We assess your specific situation during our initial inspection and recommend a maintenance schedule that makes sense for your business operations and budget.
Visible dust buildup around vents, musty odors when the HVAC system runs, and increased employee complaints about allergies or respiratory irritation are clear indicators your ductwork needs professional cleaning. You might also notice higher energy bills as your system works harder to maintain temperature.
Poor airflow from vents, uneven temperature distribution throughout the building, and excessive dust accumulation on surfaces despite regular cleaning all point to contaminated ductwork. If you can see debris or discoloration when looking into your air vents, that’s a definite sign cleaning is overdue.
Buildings that have experienced water damage, construction work, or pest issues almost always need duct cleaning to remove contaminants that standard HVAC filters can’t capture.
Most commercial air duct cleaning projects take 3-7 hours depending on building size, system complexity, and contamination levels. Smaller office buildings typically require half a day, while larger facilities or those with multiple HVAC units may need a full day or more.
We schedule work to minimize disruption to your business operations, often performing cleaning during off-hours or coordinating with your facility manager to work around critical business activities. Our team arrives with all necessary equipment and parts to complete the job efficiently.
The timeline also depends on access to ductwork, the number of vents and returns, and whether additional services like sanitizing or minor repairs are needed during the cleaning process.
Clean air ducts can significantly improve HVAC efficiency and reduce energy costs, especially in commercial buildings where systems run constantly. When ducts are clogged with debris, your heating and cooling equipment works much harder to maintain comfortable temperatures, directly increasing electricity usage.
Studies show that removing buildup from ductwork can improve airflow by 15-30%, allowing your HVAC system to reach desired temperatures faster and maintain them with less energy. This is particularly important in Texas where commercial buildings rely heavily on air conditioning for most of the year.
The energy savings often become noticeable within the first month after cleaning, and the efficiency gains help extend the lifespan of your HVAC equipment by reducing strain on motors, compressors, and other components.
Contaminated air ducts directly impact indoor air quality, which affects employee health, comfort, and productivity. The EPA reports that indoor air pollution levels can be 2-5 times higher than outdoor levels, and dirty ductwork is often a major contributing factor.
Employees exposed to poor indoor air quality experience more frequent respiratory symptoms, allergies, headaches, and fatigue. These health issues lead to increased sick days, reduced concentration, and lower overall productivity. Clean air ducts help create a healthier work environment that supports better employee performance.
Businesses that invest in regular air duct cleaning often report fewer employee health complaints, reduced absenteeism, and improved workplace satisfaction. The investment in clean air pays dividends through healthier, more productive teams.
We bring over 30 years of experience specifically serving Texas commercial buildings, which means we understand the unique challenges of maintaining HVAC systems in our climate.
