When your commercial air ducts are clean, everything changes. Your HVAC system stops struggling to push air through clogged passages. Energy bills drop because your equipment isn’t working overtime anymore.
Your employees breathe cleaner air, which means fewer sick days and better productivity. The constant dust settling on surfaces disappears. That stale, musty smell that customers notice? Gone.
Clean ducts mean your heating and cooling reach every corner of your building evenly. No more hot spots in summer or cold zones in winter that make customers uncomfortable.
Texas Air Repair brings over 20 years of HVAC experience to Windcrest businesses. As a veteran-owned company, we understand the discipline and attention to detail that commercial properties demand.
Our certified technicians serve the entire San Antonio metropolitan area, including Windcrest’s growing business community. We know Texas weather puts extra strain on HVAC systems – the humidity, the heat, the seasonal allergens that clog systems faster than in other climates.
Whether you’re running a small office or managing a large commercial facility, we provide the same thorough approach: honest assessments, upfront pricing, and solutions that actually work long-term.
First, our technicians inspect your entire duct system with specialized cameras. You’ll see exactly what we see – the dust buildup, any mold growth, debris that’s restricting airflow. No surprises, no scare tactics.
Next comes the actual cleaning. We use powerful HEPA vacuums and rotary brushes to remove years of accumulated contaminants. The process creates negative pressure so nothing gets blown back into your building’s air.
We clean every component – not just the ducts, but the coils, fans, and heat exchangers that affect your system’s efficiency. Finally, we seal any leaks we’ve found and test airflow to ensure everything’s working properly.
You get before and after photos, so you can see the difference. Most businesses notice improved air quality immediately and lower energy bills within the first month.

Your service covers the complete HVAC system – supply ducts, return air ducts, registers, grilles, coils, heat exchangers, and the air handling unit. This isn’t a quick vacuum job; it’s comprehensive system restoration.
In Windcrest’s climate, businesses deal with unique challenges. The humidity creates perfect conditions for mold growth. Seasonal allergens like oak pollen get pulled into systems and circulate for months. Construction dust from the area’s ongoing development settles in ductwork.
We address these local issues specifically. We use antimicrobial treatments when needed, seal ducts against future contamination, and can install upgraded filtration systems that handle Texas air quality better.
The service includes documentation for your facility management records and recommendations for maintaining cleaner air between professional cleanings.
Most commercial buildings in Windcrest need air duct cleaning every 1-3 years, depending on your industry and foot traffic. Restaurants and healthcare facilities often need annual cleaning due to grease, moisture, and strict air quality requirements.
Office buildings typically need cleaning every 2-3 years, while retail spaces fall somewhere in between. High-traffic businesses or those near construction zones may need more frequent service.
Texas’s humidity and allergen levels mean you can’t follow the same schedule as businesses in drier climates. If you’re seeing dust buildup on surfaces within days of cleaning, or if energy bills are climbing without increased usage, your ducts likely need attention sooner rather than later.
The most obvious sign is visible dust blowing from vents when your HVAC system starts up. You might also notice uneven heating or cooling – some areas too hot, others too cold, despite thermostat settings.
Rising energy bills without increased usage indicate your system is working harder than it should. Employees complaining about stuffiness, allergies, or respiratory irritation often point to poor indoor air quality from dirty ducts.
Musty or stale odors that cleaning can’t eliminate usually originate from contaminated ductwork. If you’ve had recent construction or renovation, dust and debris have definitely settled in your duct system and need professional removal.
Recent studies show that commercial buildings can reduce fan and blower energy consumption by 41-60% after professional duct cleaning. For most Windcrest businesses, this translates to 15-25% lower HVAC operating costs.
The savings come from improved airflow – your system doesn’t have to work as hard to move air through clean ducts. Clean coils and heat exchangers also transfer heat more efficiently, reducing the time your equipment runs to maintain temperature.
Beyond direct energy savings, clean ducts extend equipment life by reducing mechanical stress. Avoiding premature HVAC replacement can save tens of thousands of dollars, making duct cleaning one of the most cost-effective maintenance investments you can make.
Professional duct cleaning is designed to minimize business disruption. Most commercial cleaning can be scheduled during off-hours, weekends, or in sections that allow normal operations to continue.
The process typically takes 4-8 hours for average-sized commercial buildings, depending on system complexity. We can often work around your schedule, cleaning different zones at different times if needed.
Modern equipment operates quietly and contains all debris – there’s no mess left behind. Your HVAC system may need to be temporarily shut down during cleaning, but this is coordinated with your facility schedule to minimize impact on employees and customers.
Commercial systems are much larger and more complex, requiring specialized equipment and techniques. The ductwork is typically larger diameter, with more complex routing and multiple air handling units.
Commercial buildings also face different contamination challenges – higher occupancy, industrial processes, kitchen exhaust, and more frequent door openings that introduce outdoor pollutants.
The cleaning process requires commercial-grade vacuum systems with much higher CFM ratings and longer hoses to reach all areas. Technicians need additional training to work safely around commercial HVAC equipment and understand building codes that affect the work.
Look for companies with proper licensing, insurance, and NADCA certification. Ask to see before-and-after photos from recent commercial jobs similar to your building size and type.
Get detailed written estimates that specify exactly what’s included – not just “duct cleaning” but which components will be cleaned and what methods will be used. Avoid companies that quote prices over the phone without seeing your system.
Check references from other commercial clients, especially in your industry. A good company will provide documentation of their work, including photos and recommendations for maintaining your system between cleanings. Avoid any company that makes health claims they can’t substantiate or pressures you to sign contracts immediately.
