What that means for ducts
New-build ductwork
Roughly 39% of Cibolo'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 Cibolo
The part that changes from street to street.
Almost nobody in Cibolo heats with gas. The city is effectively all electric, which puts a heat pump in nearly every house and produces a complaint we hear here more than anywhere else: the air out of the vents in January does not feel warm. It is not meant to. A heat pump delivers supply air in the low nineties, warmer than the room and cooler than your hand, and homeowners reasonably conclude the ducts must be leaking or blocked. Usually they are not. The second Cibolo pattern is structural. Nearly every house is a detached two-story built since 2000, and a great many of them run both floors from one system in the attic, with the upstairs never quite balancing against the down. Summer leaves the second floor hot and winter leaves it stuffy, and that is a distribution problem a cleaning does not touch. What it needs is damper balancing and, in some of these plans, the upstairs return the builder should have installed.

03UV Air-Purification Light Installation — in this stock
Treatment in new stock — usually the wrong purchase.
In a house built since 2010 there is rarely a documented indication for an antimicrobial or a UV lamp, and we will normally say so. Where a UV light does earn its place here it is a coil-hygiene decision on a system that runs long humid cycles, not an air-purity claim. If someone has quoted you a treatment on a five-year-old system without showing you a reason on camera, ask what the reason was.
Will a UV light purify the air in my whole house?
Not by itself, and we'll never claim otherwise. Air moves past the lamp too quickly for much single-pass effect; UV's real work is keeping continuously wet surfaces — coil area, drain pan — clean, which prevents the microbial growth and odor that start there.
How often does the bulb need replacing?
Annually, as a rule. Germicidal output fades long before the visible glow does, so a lamp can look alive while doing little.

05Questions
Asked in Cibolo, answered straight.
Will a UV light purify the air in my whole house?
Not by itself, and we'll never claim otherwise. Air moves past the lamp too quickly for much single-pass effect; UV's real work is keeping continuously wet surfaces — coil area, drain pan — clean, which prevents the microbial growth and odor that start there. Think of it as surface hygiene that complements filtration, not a force field.
How often does the bulb need replacing?
Annually, as a rule. Germicidal output fades long before the visible glow does, so a lamp can look alive while doing little. We put a dated label at the unit when we install, show you the swap procedure, and the replacement is a simple, inexpensive routine from there.
The heat never feels hot at the registers. Is the duct leaking?
Probably not. A heat pump supplies air in the low nineties by design, which feels cool against your hand even while it warms the room. It is still worth checking whether the attic runs are leaking conditioned air and whether the auxiliary heat has been locked out, because both are real and both feel the same from the living room. We measure at the register and at the plenum to separate them.
Upstairs is always hotter than downstairs no matter what we set.
That is the standard finding in a two-story Cibolo house running on one system. Heat rises, the upstairs return is undersized or missing, and the trunk was balanced on paper rather than in the house. Dampers, return capacity and sealing the attic runs are what change it. A cleaning would leave the temperature split exactly where it is, and we will say so before you spend anything.
Our system is twenty years old and we are replacing the outdoor unit.
Have the static pressure measured while the installer is there. A large part of Cibolo went up in the same few years, so a lot of houses are replacing equipment at once, and modern blowers move more air than the trunks and returns of that era were laid out for. Duct that was adequate in 2004 gets loud and inefficient behind new equipment, and this is the one moment when correcting it is cheap.
