Air duct work in Boerne, TX

Nearly everything in Boerne is new by Texas standards. The town's housing is dominated by subdivisions raised over the past twenty-five years, with a very large share finished since 2010, so duct systems here are rarely dirty from decades of use.

01Where to start in Boerne

Not every city needs the same thing first.

A new-build system is usually carrying its own construction phase — drywall fines and sawdust — plus flex that was kinked on the day. The dust-out and the right filter matter more here than a full clean.

What that means for ducts

New-build ductwork

Roughly 37% of Boerne's homes were built since 2010. New does not mean clean: the commonest thing we pull out of a five-year-old system is the construction phase itself — drywall fines, sawdust, insulation fiber — plus builder-grade flex that was kinked or crushed on the day and has been throttling that run ever since. Photographs matter more here, not less.

That is a reading of the city’s stock, not a diagnosis of your home. Which of it applies to you is exactly what the camera settles — and why we would rather run one than quote from a postcode.

On the ground in Boerne

Nearly everything in Boerne is new by Texas standards. The town's housing is dominated by subdivisions raised over the past twenty-five years, with a very large share finished since 2010, so duct systems here are rarely dirty from decades of use. They are dirty, when they are, because of how they were built. Hill Country lots get cut into limestone and caliche, and that dust is fine, abrasive and everywhere on a jobsite. It settles into open boots during framing, then mixes with drywall sanding residue before the registers ever go on. The second Boerne fact worth planning around is heat. Almost nobody here burns gas; homes run heat pumps and strip heat. Nothing combusts, which strikes venting and the heat exchanger off a Boerne inspection before it begins and leaves the indoor coil as the thing worth opening. And Kendall County sits inside dense Ashe juniper, which makes filtration, rather than scrubbing, the honest winter answer for most households.

05Questions

Asked in Boerne.

We just built in a Boerne subdivision. Should the ducts be cleaned before we move in?

Worth an inspection, certainly. Hill Country builds cut through limestone and caliche, and that dust is fine and abrasive. Boots left open during framing collect it alongside drywall sanding residue. If your builder capped the openings and the system looks clean, we will say so and charge you for nothing further.

Almost every house here runs electric heat. What does that change about duct work?

It removes combustion from the equation. Nothing burns and nothing vents, so those two checks come off the list entirely. The questions become moisture and dust instead. Heat pumps and strip heat move air across an indoor coil that condenses water, and that coil plus the first stretch of supply plenum is where Kendall County problems tend to start.

Cedar season is severe out here. Will cleaning the ducts help?

Only with what has already settled. Kendall County sits in thick Ashe juniper and counts here run higher than in town, but ducts recirculate what is already indoors rather than generating it. Sealing the return side and matching a good filter to your blower does the real work through January and February.
