When your commercial air ducts are clean, everything changes. Your employees stop calling in sick from allergies and respiratory issues that dirty ducts cause. Your HVAC system stops working overtime to push air through clogged passages.
The EPA found that cleaning your ductwork can cut your system’s running time by up to 30%. That translates directly to lower energy bills and fewer repair calls. Plus, clean ducts eliminate those musty odors that make customers uncomfortable and hurt your professional image.
You’ll also reduce fire risk. Heated air moving through ducts packed with debris creates dangerous conditions where built-up material can start smoldering.
We’ve been cleaning commercial air ducts across the San Antonio area for over 20 years. We’re a veteran-owned, family-operated company that understands what Texas businesses need.
Every one of our technicians is certified, licensed, and insured. We’ve seen how Kirby’s growing commercial district creates unique challenges – from the manufacturing facilities near Interstate 10 to the retail spaces along high-traffic corridors.
Our approach is straightforward: we show up when we say we will, do the work right the first time, and back it with comprehensive warranties.
We start with a complete inspection of your HVAC system and ductwork. Our team identifies problem areas, measures contamination levels, and develops a specific cleaning plan for your facility.
Next, we use specialized equipment to access your duct system through code-compliant entry points. High-powered vacuums with HEPA filtration remove debris while rotary brushes and air whips dislodge stubborn buildup from duct walls.
We clean every component – supply ducts, return ducts, air handlers, cooling coils, and registers. After cleaning, we apply EPA-approved sanitizers to eliminate bacteria and prevent future microbial growth. The entire process typically takes 3-7 hours depending on your system size, and we schedule around your business hours to minimize disruption.

Our commercial air duct cleaning includes comprehensive system restoration. We don’t just remove debris – we address the root causes of contamination and inefficiency.
Kirby’s location near major highways means your building deals with more external pollutants than most. Vehicle exhaust, construction dust, and industrial particles all find their way into your HVAC system. We understand these local challenges and adjust our cleaning methods accordingly.
Your service includes ductwork cleaning, air handler unit cleaning, coil cleaning, and complete system sanitization. We also inspect for leaks and damage, providing repair recommendations that prevent future problems. Many Kirby businesses schedule cleaning every 3-5 years, but high-traffic facilities or those with dust-generating operations benefit from more frequent service.
Most commercial properties should schedule professional duct cleaning every 3-5 years. However, Kirby’s unique location creates specific considerations that might require more frequent service.
If your business is near Interstate 10 or Interstate 410, you’re dealing with higher levels of vehicle exhaust and road dust. Manufacturing facilities, restaurants, or businesses that generate dust or particles need cleaning every 2-3 years. High-traffic retail spaces with constant door openings also accumulate contaminants faster.
Signs you need cleaning sooner include employee complaints about allergies, visible dust buildup on vents, musty odors, or rising energy bills. We recommend annual inspections to assess your system’s condition and determine the optimal cleaning schedule for your specific operation.
Commercial ductwork accumulates a surprising variety of contaminants over time. The most common include dust, pollen, pet dander from service animals, and general debris that enters through normal building operations.
More concerning are biological contaminants like mold, bacteria, and fungi that thrive in dark, humid duct environments. These can cause serious health issues for employees and customers. We also frequently find construction debris in newer buildings or facilities that have undergone renovations.
In Kirby’s commercial district, we often encounter automotive pollutants from nearby highways, industrial particles, and seasonal allergens specific to South Texas. Food service establishments accumulate grease particles, while retail spaces deal with fabric fibers and packaging dust. Our cleaning process targets all these contaminants using EPA-approved methods and HEPA filtration systems.
Absolutely. The EPA reports that indoor air pollutant levels can be 10 to 100 times higher than outdoor concentrations, and dirty ductwork is a major contributor to this problem.
Employees exposed to contaminated air experience more frequent respiratory issues, allergies, headaches, and fatigue. This leads to increased sick days, reduced productivity, and higher healthcare costs. Studies show that improving indoor air quality can reduce employee absenteeism by up to 25%.
Dirty ducts also create unpleasant odors that affect customer perception of your business. In competitive markets like Kirby’s growing commercial sector, maintaining a clean, healthy environment gives you a significant advantage. Clean air ducts eliminate allergens, reduce dust buildup on surfaces, and create a more comfortable workspace that keeps both employees and customers satisfied.
EPA studies demonstrate that proper duct cleaning can reduce HVAC system running time by up to 30%. For most commercial properties, this translates to significant monthly savings on energy bills.
When ducts are clogged with debris, your HVAC system works harder to maintain comfortable temperatures. Clean ductwork allows air to flow freely, reducing strain on blowers, compressors, and other components. This not only cuts energy consumption but also extends equipment life and reduces repair frequency.
The exact savings depend on your system size, building age, and current contamination levels. Most Kirby businesses see 15-25% reductions in HVAC-related energy costs after professional cleaning. Larger facilities or those with severely contaminated systems often see even greater improvements. The investment in cleaning typically pays for itself within 12-18 months through reduced utility bills.
We’re a veteran-owned, family-operated company with over 20 years of experience specifically serving Texas commercial properties. Unlike national chains that use generic approaches, we understand the unique challenges facing Kirby businesses.
Our technicians are fully certified, licensed, and insured – requirements that many duct cleaning companies skip. We use professional-grade equipment including HEPA-filtered vacuum systems and follow NADCA standards for thorough cleaning. Every job includes comprehensive system sanitization, not just debris removal.
Most importantly, we back our work with solid warranties and provide 24/7 emergency service. We’ve built our reputation on honest pricing, reliable scheduling, and getting the job done right the first time. Many of our commercial clients have used our services for years because they know we deliver consistent results without the sales pressure or hidden fees common in this industry.
We design our cleaning process to minimize business disruption. Most commercial duct cleaning can be completed during off-hours, weekends, or periods when your HVAC system would normally be shut down for maintenance.
The actual cleaning process typically takes 3-7 hours depending on your system size and contamination levels. We work section by section, so parts of your building can maintain normal operations while we clean other areas. For facilities that require continuous climate control, we coordinate with your maintenance team to schedule cleaning during planned shutdowns.
We also provide temporary air filtration if needed and can adjust our timeline to accommodate your business schedule. Many Kirby businesses schedule cleaning during slower periods or combine it with routine HVAC maintenance to maximize efficiency. Our goal is to improve your air quality without impacting your daily operations or customer service.
