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 The Crossings
HVAC cleaning in The Crossings typically costs $325 – $625 for a full system cleaning, depending on home size and how much debris has accumulated in the ducts and coils. Most jobs in The Crossings take 3 – 5 hours and include source removal, not just surface brushing. Our crews know The Crossings well – we schedule around your day and arrive with a live trackable arrival window so you’re never staring out the window wondering where the truck is. Call (737) 727-2314 for a straight answer and a written price before any work starts.
What makes HVAC cleaning different from a basic duct wipe-down comes down to one word: source removal. That means we don’t just stir dust loose. We pull it out of the system entirely, using negative pressure so debris goes into a HEPA-filtered vacuum, not back into your living room. In The Crossings, where many homes date from the 1980s and 1990s, that distinction matters more than people think.
Why Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning Is The Crossings’s Preferred HVAC Cleaning Company
We operate differently, and homeowners in The Crossings notice. Every booking runs on The Relay Standard: you get a live arrival window, before-and-after photo proof of the work, and a digital invoice you can pay from your phone. No vague four-hour windows. No price that shifts once the technician is inside. The written price we hand you before work starts is the price you pay.
Omar Haddad leads our team, and he’s built the reputation around one simple rule: visibility. You know the technician’s name before they arrive. They’re background-checked and uniformed. They carry professional-grade equipment – Rotobrush rotary brush systems and Nikro HEPA vacuums – not a shop vac from the garage. That’s the difference between a cleaning that lasts and one that just makes things look tidy for a week.
We’re part of the Relay Home Co. family, founded in 2005, and our 365-Day Done Right Promise backs every job. If the work isn’t right within a full year, we come back and make it right at no charge. No fine print, no exceptions. The Crossings homeowners who call us tend to stay with us because that promise actually means something.
Evaporator Coil Cleaning in The Crossings
Evaporator coil cleaning in The Crossings runs $180 – $340 and should happen whenever the coil is visibly dust-caked or airflow from your vents feels weak. The evaporator coil sits inside the air handler and is the part that actually cools the air. In The Crossings, where summer humidity pushes AC systems hard from April through October, coils collect a sticky film of dust and biological growth that reduces efficiency and drives up power bills. A clean coil drops your system’s workload immediately.
What the Coil Cleaning Process Involves
We access the air handler, remove the access panel, and inspect the coil with a camera before touching anything. Then we apply a coil cleaner, agitate the fins gently, and rinse with a low-pressure wash that pushes debris into the drain pan and out through the condensate line. We finish with a coil treatment that slows future buildup. The whole process takes 45 – 90 minutes.
When a The Crossings Homeowner Should Schedule It
If your AC runs constantly but the house still feels humid, or you notice a sour smell from the vents when the system kicks on, the coil is usually the culprit. Homes off SW 122nd Avenue and SW 132nd Avenue that keep their thermostats at 72 or below put more strain on coils. We recommend checking the coil annually, even if you skip full duct cleaning that year.
AC Duct Cleaning in The Crossings
AC duct cleaning in The Crossings runs $325 – $625 for a full system, and we price it as one flat fee per system, never per vent. The job involves cleaning supply ducts, return ducts, the air handler, blower assembly, and registers using negative-pressure extraction. In The Crossings, where many 1980s and 1990s homes still run original flex-duct runs through attic spaces, disconnected or crushed lines are common – we find them during camera inspection and document what we fix.
The Difference Between Cleaning and Source Removal
Source removal means loosening dust, debris, and contaminants from duct walls, then extracting them from the home with HEPA filtration. That’s the standard we work to. A cheap “cleaning” that just brushes the first few feet of ductwork without negative pressure does more harm than good – it stirs everything up and leaves the rest to circulate. We use Nikro HEPA vacuums and Rotobrush agitation tools so what comes loose comes out.
Why Duct Inspections Happen Before Cleaning in The Crossings
Before we clean, we send a camera through the system. That’s not optional. In this area, original flex-duct runs get re-taped, re-routed, or crushed over time – especially in attics that bake in the Florida sun. A camera inspection tells us if the system even needs cleaning, or if the real problem is a disconnected run or a clogged coil. If your ducts are clean and well-sealed, we’ll tell you that honestly and save you the cost.
Trusted Brands We Service in The Crossings
We work on all major HVAC brands and configurations found in The Crossings homes, from Trane and Carrier to Rheem and Goodman. We also handle the filtration side: Aprilaire, Honeywell, and Guardsman products are common in this area, and we stock replacement filters and treatments locally for fast turnaround. If your The Crossings home has an Aprilaire media filter cabinet or Guardsman UV system, we can service it as part of the cleaning visit. No need to call a separate company.
Common HVAC Cleaning Problems We See in The Crossings Homes
- Crushed flex-duct runs in attic spaces. The original ductwork in many 1980s and 1990s The Crossings homes has been walked on, bent, or poorly re-routed during remodels. Crushed runs starve rooms of airflow and make the AC work harder than it should.
- Dust-caked evaporator coils behind clogged filters. Miami’s humidity and pollen load coat coils fast. When filters aren’t changed, the coil becomes the filter – and efficiency tanks.
- Musty odors from biological growth in the air handler. Standing moisture in the condensate pan or a clogged drain line creates the sour smell many The Crossings homeowners notice when the system cycles on. Cleaning the coil and treating the pan usually resolves it.
- Re-taped or poorly sealed duct connections leaking conditioned air into the attic. Leaky joints mean you’re paying to cool your attic, not your living room. We find and document these during camera inspection and seal them as part of the cleaning.
Pricing for HVAC Cleaning in The Crossings, FL
A standard HVAC cleaning in The Crossings runs $325 – $625 as one flat price per system. That includes supply and return ducts, air handler, blower, and registers. Evaporator coil cleaning typically adds $180 – $340 if done separately, though bundling it with a full system cleaning usually lands at the lower end of the combined range. What affects price: system size, number of zones, accessibility of the air handler, and how long since the last cleaning. We hand you a written price before any work begins, and that number does not change at the door. Call (737) 727-2314 for a free estimate.

FAQs About HVAC Cleaning in The Crossings
We charge one flat price per system, never per vent. Per-vent pricing is how some companies quote you a low number on the phone and then add charges for the air handler, blower, or return ducts once the crew arrives. In The Crossings, where older and newer duct layouts mix, the real scope of your system isn’t knowable from a phone call alone – so we inspect, give you one price, and stick to it. Call (737) 727-2314 for an exact quote.
You need it if you see dust buildup around registers, smell musty air when the system runs, or find excessive dust on furniture within days of cleaning. But not every home needs it. Many newer The Crossings homes with well-sealed ducts only need a coil cleaning and filter upgrade. We’ll camera-inspect your system before recommending anything, and if you don’t need duct cleaning, we’ll tell you that.
A real cleaning involves source removal: we agitate debris loose with Rotobrush tools, extract it with Nikro HEPA negative-pressure vacuums, clean the air handler and blower, and document everything with before-and-after photos. In The Crossings, most jobs take 3 – 5 hours depending on system size. You’ll get a written price before we start, and the invoice is digital – pay it from your phone.
Yes, and in most cases you should. The coil and ducts get dirty together, and cleaning one without the other only solves half the problem. If we’re already in your The Crossings home with the air handler open, adding coil cleaning is straightforward and usually lands at the lower end of the combined price range. We’ll give you one flat number for the entire job before anything starts.
We don’t promise same-day service, because a real cleaning takes 3 – 5 hours and requires scheduling the right crew and equipment. What we do promise is a live trackable arrival window and a written price before work begins. If your situation is urgent – a musty smell, a dust event after renovation – call (737) 727-2314 and we’ll get you on the schedule as fast as we can.
