Air Duct Cleaning in Austin

Every bit of air your AC and heater move passes through your ducts, and in most Austin homes those ducts run through an attic that bakes all summer. Gold Eagle inspects, cleans and replaces air ducts for Austin-area homes.

Signs Your Ducts Need Cleaning or Replacing

  • Dust puffing from the vents, or settling again soon after you dust
  • A musty or stale smell each time the system kicks on
  • Debris, dark buildup or growth on the vent grilles
  • A room that stays hotter or colder than the rest of the house
  • Attic ducts that are old, crushed, torn or pulled loose
  • A recent remodel, pests or water damage

What Does Air Duct Cleaning Involve?

Duct cleaning pulls built-up dust, debris and contaminants out of your supply ducts (the runs that carry air to each room) and your return ducts (the ones that pull it back to the system). We inspect first and show you what we found, because a torn run needs replacing, and cleaning it only leaves you with a clean torn run.

Once the ducts are clean, less dust circles back through the house every time the system runs, and a common source of stale smells is gone.

When Should Ducts Be Replaced Instead?

A typical Austin duct system is a ductboard plenum at the air handler with flex duct running to each room, and in many attics that flex is still the original. Years of attic heat leave it sagging, torn, short on insulation or split at the joints. Once ducts are that far gone, cleaning can’t help, and replacement is the better investment.

We design and install duct systems sized so every room gets the airflow it needs. For the details, see our duct replacement and sealing guide, our ductwork services and our financing options.

Stale Smell Lingering? Add a Pure Maintenance Treatment

If an odor or stale air hangs on after the ducts are cleaned or replaced, you can schedule a whole-home dry fog treatment. Our sister company, Pure Maintenance of Central Texas, performs it, not Gold Eagle.

Pure Maintenance says its fog droplets are fine enough to drift into ductwork and other hidden spaces. Heavily soiled or damaged ducts still get cleaned or replaced first, so the fog isn’t up against a problem that’s still there.
