What that means for ducts
New-build ductwork
Roughly 44% of Kyle'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.
02Working in Kyle
The part that changes from street to street.
Nearly every house in Kyle went up after 2000 and a large share after 2010, so the systems here are young and whatever is inside them rarely came from use. It came from outside, and it is still arriving. Kyle has been under continuous construction for two decades, which puts a great many finished houses within a few hundred yards of open lots, road base and fresh grading, and the pale fine dust that comes off that work goes straight into any return that leaks. It is why filters here load in weeks rather than months, and why owners assume the ducts must be filthy inside. Sometimes they are. More often the return side is unsealed and the duct is simply passing along what the house is already inhaling. Fuel splits close to evenly across the subdivisions, so some homes have a gas furnace and some have a heat pump with strip heat, and the two put our hands on different parts of the cabinet.

04Questions
Asked in Kyle, answered straight.
Our filter is filthy within a month. Are the ducts full of dirt?
Usually the ducts are the messenger. A filter loading that fast in Kyle points at unsealed return joints pulling attic and outdoor dust in around the filter path, with active construction nearby supplying the material. A loaded filter is doing its job. Changing it more often costs less than a cleaning, and finding the return leak is what actually breaks the cycle.
There is still building going on around us. Should we wait?
Yes, and we will tell you that even after you have already called. Cleaning a system while the lots across the street are being graded means paying to do it again once they are landscaped and the streets are swept. Seal the return, run a good filter on a short schedule, and put the cleaning off until the neighborhood stops making dust.
Can the return really be sealed without opening up the house?
In these plans, generally yes. Most of the leakage is at the filter rack, at the joint where the return plenum meets the air handler, and at the boot behind the return grille, and all of that is reachable. Mastic on those seams is the cheapest work we do here, and in a house sitting near open construction it outperforms a cleaning by a wide margin.
