Your HVAC system stops working overtime. Energy costs drop because clean ducts let air flow the way it should, instead of fighting through years of buildup.
Your team stops calling in sick as much. Studies show businesses with clean air see 35% fewer sick days. That’s real productivity you can measure.
The musty smell that’s been lingering finally goes away. So does the dust that settles on everything despite your best cleaning efforts.
We’ve been handling commercial air duct cleaning across San Antonio and surrounding areas like St. Hedwig for over 20 years. We’re veteran-owned, which means we understand the value of doing things right the first time.
We’ve seen what happens when businesses ignore their ductwork. Energy bills creep up. Employees complain about stuffiness. HVAC systems break down more often than they should.
That’s why we focus on thorough cleaning that follows NADCA standards—the same protocols specified for commercial projects worldwide.
First, we inspect your entire system. We’re looking for buildup, damage, and anything that shouldn’t be there. You get photos of what we find, so you can see exactly what you’re paying to fix.
Then we seal off your space to keep contaminants contained. Our HEPA-filtered vacuum systems create negative pressure while we use specialized brushes to dislodge debris from duct walls.
Every particle gets captured and removed—not just blown around to settle somewhere else. We clean supply ducts, return ducts, registers, and air handling equipment.
When we’re done, we verify cleanliness with visual inspection and provide documentation. Your system gets restored to proper operation, and you get proof the job was done right.

Complete system cleaning covers your supply and return air ducts, registers, grilles, diffusers, air handling units, and coils. We also clean blower components and condensate drain pans.
In St. Hedwig’s humid climate, mold and mildew growth in HVAC systems is a real concern. Our antimicrobial treatment addresses these issues while improving overall air circulation throughout your facility.
We handle the specialized requirements that come with Texas commercial properties—from dealing with construction dust in growing areas to addressing the unique challenges of older buildings that need system updates.
Every job includes proper containment, HEPA filtration, and complete debris removal. You get before-and-after documentation plus a system that works more efficiently than it has in years.
Most commercial facilities need professional duct cleaning every 3-5 years, but Texas businesses often need it more frequently due to our climate and dust conditions. High-traffic buildings, restaurants, and manufacturing facilities may need annual cleaning.
The timeline depends on your industry, building age, and local conditions. If you’re seeing increased dust accumulation, higher energy bills, or employee complaints about air quality, it’s time for an inspection regardless of when you last had cleaning done.
We recommend annual HVAC inspections to catch problems early. It’s much cheaper to clean ducts on schedule than to replace an entire system that failed from neglect.
Professional cleaning follows NADCA standards and uses proper equipment—truck-mounted vacuum systems, specialized brushes, and containment procedures. Cheap services often just blow debris around or use shop vacuums that can’t handle commercial-scale jobs.
Real duct cleaning involves accessing the entire system, not just the visible parts. We remove registers, clean the full length of ductwork, and address air handling equipment. Cut-rate services typically clean only what they can reach from register openings.
The difference shows up in your energy bills, system performance, and how long the cleaning lasts. Professional cleaning addresses the root causes of contamination instead of just surface cleaning.
Yes, but the savings depend on how contaminated your system was. Clean ducts improve airflow, which reduces the energy your HVAC system needs to circulate air. Studies show energy savings of up to 20% are possible with proper cleaning.
Even a thin layer of dust buildup can significantly reduce system efficiency. When your HVAC doesn’t have to work as hard to push air through clean ducts, it uses less electricity and puts less wear on mechanical components.
The energy savings are most dramatic in systems that haven’t been cleaned in years. You’ll typically see lower utility bills within the first month after professional cleaning.
Visible dust buildup around vents is the most obvious sign, but there are others. Musty odors when the system runs, increased employee allergy complaints, and higher-than-usual energy bills all indicate contaminated ductwork.
If your building has undergone construction or renovation, duct cleaning is essential. Construction dust gets into everything, and running your HVAC during work can contaminate the entire system.
We also recommend cleaning after any water damage, mold issues, or pest problems. These contaminants don’t go away on their own—they circulate through your building until professionally removed.
Professional cleaning typically takes 4-8 hours depending on your system size and contamination level. We work around your business schedule and can often complete work during off-hours to minimize disruption.
You’ll hear vacuum equipment running and see containment barriers around work areas. Our technicians will need access to mechanical rooms, ceiling spaces, and areas where ductwork is located.
The process creates some noise but shouldn’t interfere with normal business operations. We clean up completely when finished, and you’ll immediately notice improved airflow and air quality.
Absolutely. Small businesses often see the biggest impact because they can’t absorb the costs of inefficient HVAC systems, frequent employee sick days, or premature equipment replacement the way larger companies can.
Clean ducts reduce energy costs, improve employee comfort and productivity, and extend HVAC system life. For most small commercial buildings, professional cleaning pays for itself within the first year through energy savings alone.
Consider it preventive maintenance that protects your investment in HVAC equipment while creating a healthier work environment. The cost of cleaning is minimal compared to replacing an entire system that failed from neglect.
