Whole-system duct and dryer vent check with before-and-after photos - you see exactly what came out of your vents
That "$99 whole-house special" is a bait ad - the real number appears once they are in your hallway, or the "clean" is a shop-vac at the register. We photograph the inside of your ducts before and after instead.

AfterFast, Reliable HVAC Cleaning Across Savannah
HVAC cleaning in Savannah, TX typically runs $350 – $650 for a full system on a standard single-family home, and the work usually takes 3 – 5 hours from setup to final photos. We serve Savannah from our Dallas-Fort Worth dispatch office, with crews scheduled locally so you get a live arrival window you can track from your phone. If your AC is running but the house still feels dusty, or you’re seeing lint buildup around return registers in neighborhoods like Providence or ArrowBrooke, call (737) 727-2314 and we’ll walk you through what’s actually going on.
We’re Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning, part of the Relay Home Co. family founded in 2005. Omar Haddad leads our team, and our technicians arrive in uniform with professional-grade equipment from Rotobrush, Nikro, and Abatement Technologies. You get a written price before a single duct is touched, before-and-after photos of your own system, and a 365-Day Done Right Promise on every job.
Why Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning Is Savannah’s Preferred HVAC Cleaning Company
Savannah homeowners call us because we do something most duct cleaners won’t: we show you the inside of your ducts before and after. When we run a camera down a return trunk in a two-story off FM 1385 and find a lint pathway packed against the blower motor intake, you see that footage. When we finish source removal under negative pressure, you get photos of what came out and what the ducts look like clean. That’s the Relay Standard: a live trackable arrival time, photo documentation, and a digital invoice you can pay by link. No guessing.
Our reputation in Savannah is built on one flat price per system agreed before work starts. Not per-vent pricing that grows once the tech sees your second-story supply runs. Not a teaser quote that becomes an invoice twice as large at the door. The number we write down is the number you pay. If the work isn’t right within 365 days, we return and correct it at no charge. That’s not a promo. That’s the standing policy on every booking.
We know Savannah’s housing stock matters. The two-story builds in Providence and the newer construction near ArrowBrooke have different duct layouts, different return configurations, and different airflow issues than the single-story homes in older pockets of town. Our techs have seen enough Savannah systems to know what to look for before the camera even goes in.
AC Vent Cleaning in Savannah
AC vent cleaning in Savannah is about more than wiping grilles. When your AC has been cycling through a Denton County summer, the evaporator coil condenses moisture, and that moisture attracts dust, lint, and sometimes mold spores to the supply side of the system. Vent cleaning done right means pulling the supply registers, agitating the duct walls with Rotobrush rotary brush tools, and running a Nikro HEPA vacuum under negative pressure so loosened debris goes straight into the vacuum, not back into your living room.
For a typical Savannah single-family home, AC vent cleaning as part of a full HVAC cleaning runs $350 – $650 depending on system size, number of returns, and accessibility. You’ll know your exact number before we start. If you’ve replaced your HVAC filter and still see dust settling on furniture within a day, that’s a sign the supply side is dirty.
Supply Register Cleaning
We remove every supply register in the home, clean the register itself, and clean the first few feet of the supply run where dust tends to cake against the boot. This is the part you see. It’s also the part that gets skipped by crews doing a quick wipe-and-go.
Return Side Cleaning
Return ducts pull air back to the air handler, carrying whatever is floating in your home. Pet hair, carpet fibers, candle soot, and drywall dust from a recent remodel all collect on the return side. We clean the full return pathway from grille to plenum, because that’s the air your blower motor breathes.
Furnace Duct Cleaning in Savannah
Furnace duct cleaning in Savannah matters because the same ducts that carry cooled air in July carry heated air in January. When winter nights drop below freezing, your furnace pushes warm, dry air through ducts that spent the summer handling condensation. That thermal cycling loosens debris that’s been sitting against duct walls, sending it into the air you breathe. A full furnace duct cleaning in Savannah runs $350 – $650 for a standard system, and the process includes the heat exchanger, blower compartment, and both supply and return runs.
In a two-story Savannah home, furnace duct cleaning also means getting to the second-story supply runs. Cheaper crews sometimes skip upstairs ducts entirely, which is why the upstairs rooms still smell dusty after a “cleaning.” We don’t skip runs. Every register gets covered, every duct gets cleaned, every photo proves it.
Blower Compartment Cleaning
The blower motor is the heart of the system, and when it’s pulling air through a dirty return, it pulls that debris across the motor itself. We clean the blower wheel, the housing, and the surrounding compartment. A dirty blower wheel runs out of balance, works harder, and shortens the life of the motor.
Heat Exchanger Surface Cleaning
On the furnace side, we clean the accessible heat exchanger surfaces as part of the job. Built-up dust on the heat exchanger reduces heat transfer efficiency, which means your furnace runs longer to hit the same temperature. It also creates that faint burning smell the first few times the heat kicks on each fall.
Trusted Brands We Service in Savannah
We service and work around all the major HVAC brands Savannah homes already have: Trane, Carrier, Lennox, Goodman, Rheem, and American Standard. Our techs also carry Honeywell and Aprilaire filtration products, and we install or replace media filters as part of a cleaning when the existing one is past its life. If you’re running a Honeywell media cabinet in a home off FM 1385, we’ll inspect the filter housing during the cleaning and tell you honestly whether it’s time for a replacement. We keep common filter sizes stocked on our trucks, so there’s no second trip and no separate service call for a filter swap.
Common HVAC Cleaning Problems We See in Savannah Homes
- Two-story supply runs packing dust on the second floor. Heat rises, and so does dust. In Savannah’s two-story builds, upstairs supply ducts collect more debris than downstairs runs because they’re longer, hotter, and farther from the air handler. A quick register wipe won’t touch what’s inside the run.
- Lint pathways forming against the blower motor intake. This is the failure mode we catch most often in Savannah. Homeowners change filters regularly and still see dust, because the problem isn’t the filter. It’s the accumulated lint and dust packed against the blower motor intake inside the return trunk.
- False “cleanings” from crews who vacuum registers and call it done. If a crew doesn’t run a camera down your main return trunk before and after, they didn’t show you the actual condition of your ducts. Source removal requires agitation tools and negative-pressure extraction, not a shop vac at the grille.
- Dual-season debris profiles from Savannah’s climate. Denton County’s swing from 100°F summers to below-freezing winter nights means the same duct system carries cooling condensate for half the year and heated dry air for the other half. We often find two distinct types of debris in one system: moisture-trapped dust from cooling season and heat-baked particulate from winter runs.
Pricing for HVAC Cleaning in Savannah, TX
Most standard HVAC cleanings in Savannah run $350 – $650 for a full system on a single-family home. Smaller single-story homes with one return tend toward the lower end. Larger two-story homes with multiple returns, long supply runs, and a media filter housing tend toward the higher end. What affects the price: system size, number of returns, accessibility of the air handler, and whether you’re adding evaporator coil cleaning or coil treatment to the job. We don’t price per vent. Ever. The written price you get before work starts is the price you pay. Call (737) 727-2314 for a free estimate on your Savannah system.

FAQs About HVAC Cleaning in Savannah
Most Savannah homes need HVAC duct cleaning every 3 – 5 years, but the honest answer depends on what’s inside your ducts, not on a calendar. If you have pets, recently renovated, or live in a two-story where the upstairs runs collect dust faster, you might be on the shorter end. If you run a quality media filter and change it regularly, you might comfortably go longer. The way to know is a camera inspection. Call (737) 727-2314 and we’ll tell you what your ducts actually look like before anyone touches them.
Per system. Always. We give you one flat price for the entire HVAC system before we start, and it doesn’t change when we see the second-story supply runs or the long return trunk. Per-vent pricing is how crews bait a low quote and then grow it once they’re inside. We don’t do that. The written number is the final number.
The process starts with a camera inspection down your main return trunk so you see the starting condition. Then we seal off registers, run Rotobrush agitation tools through the supply and return runs, and pull debris out with a Nikro HEPA vacuum under negative pressure. We clean the blower compartment and accessible heat exchanger surfaces, install or replace your filter if needed, and seal everything back up. You get before-and-after photos of your own ducts, not stock images. For an exact quote on your system, call (737) 727-2314.
Yes. Every job includes before-and-after photos of your actual ductwork and the debris we removed. That’s part of the Relay Standard and part of how we’ve built trust with Savannah homeowners. If a company won’t show you the inside of your own ducts, ask yourself what they’re hiding. We put the camera in, show you the footage, and hand you the photos at the end of the job.
We schedule HVAC cleaning in Savannah on a booked basis, so we’re not promising same-day dispatch. What we do promise is a live arrival window you can track from your phone, so you’re not waiting on a four-hour block that never shows. Call (737) 727-2314 and we’ll get you the next available slot with a real human on the phone, not a voicemail loop.
