Air duct cleaning in Austin starts with a free inspection: photos of what is inside your ducts, a written quote on the spot, and same-day or next-day slots. We have worked in 160 Austin homes and businesses.
Air ducts and indoor air quality first, then dryer vents, chimneys and fireplaces, insulation and water damage from the same crew. Pick a direction or tell us what you are noticing and we point you to the right service.
Air duct cleaning in Austin is not a vacuum held to the register. We open the returns and the supply plenum, photograph what is inside, and clean the full run from the registers to the blower compartment with negative-air equipment and agitation. You see the photos before you see a price, and the price is per line, in writing.
Austin homes experience high summer temperatures, cedar pollen exposure, and dry Texas Hill Country conditions that can contribute to buildup inside ductwork over time. A duct inspection every few years helps maintain consistent airflow, system efficiency, and indoor air quality.
Austin includes a mix of established neighborhoods, ranch-style properties, and newer residential developments. Extended cooling cycles, construction dust, and rural particulate exposure can affect ductwork performance. We regularly service:
We have worked in 160 Austin homes and businesses. What Austin calls us for most is duct replacement — that is what shows up on the majority of our Austin invoices.

Air Duct Busters is a family-run crew working out of Marble Falls since 2018, with a second base in Bertram. We have been inside 160 homes and businesses in Austin itself, and more than 870 across Central Texas since we started. The owner, Gary Abdullaev, is a CSIA certified chimney sweep and an HVAC technician, and he is on the trucks, not just on the paperwork.
Austin is forty-eight miles from the office by TX 71 and US 281, about an hour depending on traffic. Every Austin visit starts the same way: we open the system, photograph what is actually in it and hand you a written price per line before anything is touched. If the honest answer is that it does not need cleaning, you get that in writing and pay nothing.
From homeowners across the Highland Lakes and the Austin suburbs, not bought and not filtered.
Ducts, dryer vents, chimneys and attic insulation are the same visit and the same written quote.
Every line on the quote points at something we photographed in your house.
Call +1 (737) 299 19 19 at any hour, seven days a week, and we book the window that suits you.
Austin is forty-eight miles east of the shop and it is the one place on our route where the city itself, not the landscape, sets the pattern. Duct replacement is what shows up on the majority of our Austin invoices, and that is not a coincidence: a large share of the housing has flex duct old enough to have gone brittle, torn at the connections, or been crushed by someone working in the attic.
A cleaning will not fix a torn run, so the inspection matters more here than anywhere. We open the system, photograph the connections and the plenum, and say plainly which runs can be cleaned and which need replacing. The two get quoted as separate lines.
Austin is forty-eight miles from the office by TX 71 and US 281, about an hour depending on traffic. We plan Austin work around the traffic rather than against it, which usually means an early window.
Things Austin homeowners ask about that have nothing to do with the cleaning itself, and everything to do with selling, insuring or getting an HOA form approved.
A torn run cannot be cleaned back into service. We photograph it and price the replacement separately so nothing is sold twice.
Solar, cabling and insulation crews all walk attics. Crushed runs behind a water heater are common and easy to miss from the register.
We book an early window for Austin so the crew is not spending your slot on the highway, and we check parking and attic access before the visit.
The inspection report a buyer orders has separate lines for the fireplace, the flue and the dryer exhaust, and the duct system gets looked at along with the equipment. A written report with photos before you list keeps all of that out of the negotiation.
Six things the crew photographs most often on Austin inspections. If one of them sounds like your house, the inspection is free and the fix is priced in writing.
A musty or stale smell for the first minute of a cycle usually lives on the coil or in the return, not in the room. We photograph it.
Every unsealed fixture is a hole between the house and the attic. We seal them while the insulation is open rather than blowing over the top of them.
An unsealed return plenum draws hot attic air and everything in it straight past the filter. Sealing it is usually cheaper than cleaning the system twice a year.
Old flex tears where it is banded and cannot be cleaned back into service. We photograph the tear and price the repair as its own line.
A supply line blowing into the attic or a flattened flex run behind the water heater. Found on the inspection, sealed or replaced on the spot.
Grey fuzz on the registers and the furniture again. The supply lines and the return plenum are holding what the filter never caught.
Dryer vent, attic and chimney get looked at on the same trip as the ducts. One crew, one truck, one written quote.
The number one laundry-room fire risk, and the quickest fix on our schedule. We clear the full run from the dryer to the outside cap, check the routing and the flap, and leave before-and-after photos. Most Austin dryer vents get done on the same visit as the ducts, because lint and dust travel the same paths.
Every attic we open for the ductwork gets its insulation depth measured. Where it is settled, patchy or wet we top it up to a full 14 inches of blown-in, seal the ceiling penetrations underneath and photograph the finished floor. The biggest single lever on a Austin summer electric bill.
Sweep, inspection and photos of the flue, damper and firebox before you light the first fire of the season. Creosote, cracked tiles and blocked caps are what we find most in Austin fireplaces, and the same crew that cleans the ducts handles the repairs.
Each of these has its own Austin page with the price, the process and the jobs we have done here.

They came to do the full inspection of our HVAC system and performed a thorough inspection with photos and a very detailed list of quoted recommendations. Gary and team were punctual the 3 times they came to our home and their price was very reasonable.
Read on GoogleNoah took the time to show us photos from inside the vents and ductwork and clearly explained the level of cleaning needed and why. We really appreciated the transparency and education instead of feeling pressured.
Read on GoogleGary inspected the plenum, there was microbial growth in the insulation. The system was replaced 3 years ago but had the original 20 year old plenum. Gary replaced the plenum and installed a scrubber. We haven't had any allergy problems in our new home so far.
Read on GoogleNoah was straight forward and honest with the evaluation of our dryer vent. When he left I knew twice as much about my home and dryer than before he arrived. Very grateful for the peace of mind.

Yes. Air duct cleaning is the job we do most in Austin: a free inspection with photos of what is inside first, a written per-line price on the spot, then the cleaning. The same crew handles dryer vents, chimneys and attic insulation.
Air duct cleaning starts at $145 per line, counting every supply line and the returns, and that price already includes sanitising and treatment against microbial growth. A typical house on our route has around eleven lines. Dryer vent cleaning starts at $165, the deep clean at $275, and a chimney sweep at $165. The count and the total are written down after the free inspection and before any work, so there is no coupon price that grows once the crew is in the house.
Austin homes experience heavy AC usage, dust exposure, and seasonal allergens that can contribute to buildup inside the ductwork.
Yes. We service both residential neighborhoods and larger rural properties throughout Travis County.
Air duct repair and installation, dryer vent cleaning, chimney sweep and repair, attic insulation, indoor air quality, water damage inspection, and HVAC repair and maintenance for the system the ducts are connected to.
Yes. We open the system, take photos and hand you a written quote. If it is clean, we say so and you owe nothing.
