Air duct cleaning in Horseshoe Bay 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 41 Horseshoe Bay 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 Horseshoe Bay 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.
Homes in Horseshoe Bay, TX face environmental conditions that place additional demand on duct system. Extended cooling cycles, Hill Country dust, seasonal cedar pollen, and elevated humidity near Lake LBJ contribute to build up inside ductwork and system components. A duct inspection every few years helps maintain consistent airflow and indoor air quality.
Many homes in Horseshoe Bay are larger properties or seasonal residences. When duct system run continuously during summer or remain inactive for extended periods, contamination can accumulate inside ductwork. We regularly service:
We have worked in 41 Horseshoe Bay homes and businesses. What Horseshoe Bay calls us for most is duct replacement and dryer vent cleaning — that is what shows up on the majority of our Horseshoe Bay 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 41 homes and businesses in Horseshoe Bay 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.
Horseshoe Bay is nine miles west of the office on RM 2147, about fifteen minutes. Every Horseshoe Bay 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.

Horseshoe Bay is our closest town after Marble Falls itself and the housing is unlike anywhere else on our route. Waterfront homes on Lake LBJ with boathouses, Applehead Island, the golf neighborhoods, Escondido and Summit Rock with newer custom builds, and a large share of it all second homes that are occupied part of the year. Lake LBJ is a constant-level lake, so the humidity next to the water does not drop off the way it does on a fluctuating reservoir.
Two things follow from that. First, houses that sit closed: the air handler runs little or not at all, the ducts hold still damp air, and dryer vents and flue caps become attractive to wasps and birds. We find more nesting material in Horseshoe Bay than anywhere else we work. Second, the builds are large and often have three or four systems plus a fireplace that is decorative for most of the year, so the inspection takes longer and the honest answer is frequently that two systems need work and the rest do not.
Horseshoe Bay is nine miles west of the office on RM 2147, about fifteen minutes. It is the shortest drive we make, so same-day and next-morning slots are normal, and coming back with a part or to finish a cap install costs nobody a trip charge.
Things Horseshoe Bay 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.
Horseshoe Bay has architectural control over what shows from the street and from the water. Caps, roof jacks and vent hoods go through it, and we provide the finish and a photo for the submission.
Management companies here generally want a dated service record for the dryer vent and the fireplace. We leave a written report with photos on every visit, which is the document they are asking for.
The useful order is dryer vent and flue first, because that is where nesting happens, then the ducts. If you tell us when you open the house, we book the visit for the week before.
The TREC report has separate lines for the fireplace, the flue and the dryer exhaust, and on a lake house the buyer's inspector will also look at the boathouse. Our part is the air path, in writing, with photos, before you list.
Six things the crew photographs most often on Horseshoe Bay inspections. If one of them sounds like your house, the inspection is free and the fix is priced in writing.
Clothes take two cycles, the top of the dryer runs hot and the outside flap barely opens. That run gets cleared from the dryer to the cap.
One end of the house never cools no matter what the thermostat says. No amount of cleaning fixes that, so we measure the runs and quote the duct work separately.
A fireplace that smokes back or has not been swept in years. We sweep, inspect and photograph the flue before the first cold front.
Bare spots, settled blown-in and unsealed can lights are the reason upstairs rooms never cool. We measure the depth on every attic visit.
Grey fuzz on the registers and the furniture again. The supply lines and the return plenum are holding what the filter never caught.
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.
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 Horseshoe Bay 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 Horseshoe Bay 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 Horseshoe Bay fireplaces, and the same crew that cleans the ducts handles the repairs.
Each of these has its own Horseshoe Bay 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 Horseshoe Bay: 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.
