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 Tice
HVAC cleaning in Tice typically costs between $350 and $650 for a full system cleaning on a standard single-family home, and most jobs are completed in 3 to 5 hours. That includes the supply and return ducts, the air handler, the evaporator coil, and the blower assembly. Call (737) 727-2314 for a written quote before anyone touches your ductwork.
We work throughout Tice off Palm Beach Boulevard, around the Tice Historic District, and along the Caloosahatchee side neighborhoods. Our HVAC Cleaning crew knows these older slab-on-grade homes and the way humidity off the river changes how quickly coils and ducts load up. You get a flat price per system before we start, not a per-vent quote that balloons once the technician is inside.
Why Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning Is Tice’s Preferred HVAC Cleaning Company
We operate under The Relay Standard, which means every booking in Tice comes with a live trackable arrival window, before-and-after photo documentation, and a digital invoice you can pay from your phone. The technician’s name is sent to you before they arrive, and they show up in uniform with professional-grade equipment. No mystery. No four-hour waiting windows.
The 365-Day Done Right Promise covers every single job we do in Tice. If the work isn’t right within 365 days, we return and correct it at no charge. That’s not a conditional offer on select services. It applies to every booking without exception, including furnace duct cleaning and AC coil cleaning here in Tice.
Omar Haddad leads the team that answers calls for Tice customers, and a live person picks up 24/7. You won’t get a voicemail loop. If you call at 9 PM to ask about a musty smell coming from your vents, a real person answers and can schedule the visit. That matters when you’re a homeowner in Tice trying to figure out if the air you’re breathing is clean.
Furnace Duct Cleaning in Tice
Furnace duct cleaning in Tice involves removing the accumulated dust, debris, and biological growth from the supply and return duct runs, the plenum boxes, and the blower compartment of your furnace. Most Tice homes run their HVAC systems nearly year-round because the humid subtropical climate doesn’t give equipment much of an off-season. That means duct interiors collect a dense, sometimes damp layer of fine particulate rather than the dry, seasonal dust you’d find in a drier climate.
A full furnace duct cleaning for a typical Tice home runs $350 to $500 depending on the number of returns and the accessibility of the duct runs. We don’t charge per vent. We quote one flat price per system and hand you a written price before any work starts.
Blower Assembly Cleaning
The blower motor and fan wheel pull air across them constantly, and in Tice homes near the river, humid air leaves a film on the blower wheel that traps dust. We remove the blower, clean the wheel and housing, and verify the motor runs within spec before reinstalling. Skipping this step means the fan keeps circulating debris even after the ducts are clean.
Heat Exchanger Cleaning
On gas furnaces, a fouled heat exchanger reduces efficiency and can become a safety concern if airflow is restricted. We clean accessible heat exchanger surfaces during furnace duct cleaning and flag anything that looks cracked or corroded. Safety comes first. If we see something dangerous, we tell you plainly and recommend a licensed service follow-up.
AC Coil Cleaning in Tice
AC coil cleaning in Tice is one of the most impactful services for homes along the Caloosahatchee because the evaporator coil operates in a dark, damp environment that encourages biofilm growth. When that coil is coated, your system runs longer, cools less, and pushes that musty smell through the registers. A proper coil cleaning removes the biological layer and restores the airflow and temperature drop the coil was designed for.
Expect to pay $150 to $300 for a thorough evaporator coil cleaning in Tice, depending on access. We use professional-grade coil cleaners and, when the buildup is heavy, a HEPA vacuum to remove loose debris before chemical application. The work is documented with before-and-after photos you can see on your phone.
Evaporator Coil Treatment
After cleaning the coil, we apply a coil treatment that discourages regrowth and keeps the coil surface cleaner longer. For Tice homes that battle the damp air off the river, this step makes a noticeable difference in how fast odor returns. We name the product used and show you the result.
Condenser Coil and Air Handler Cleaning
The condenser coil outside takes a beating from Tice’s summer heat, grass clippings, and fine dust from construction along Palm Beach Boulevard. We clean the condenser coil and straighten bent fins where possible. Inside, the air handler cabinet is vacuumed and wiped down so the air moving through your system isn’t passing over a layer of accumulated grime.
Trusted Brands We Service in Tice
Our technicians in Tice work on all major residential HVAC brands and carry filtration products from Aprilaire and Guardsman for customers who want cleaner air after their duct cleaning. When we clean a system, we use Rotobrush agitation tools and Abatement Technologies containment equipment, which matters in Tice homes where duct runs are tight and access is limited. We stock common filter sizes locally so you aren’t waiting on a shipping delay to get your system breathing right again. Whether your system is a Trane, Carrier, Rheem, or Goodman, the cleaning process is the same flat per-system price and the same documented results.
Common HVAC Cleaning Problems We See in Tice Homes
- Biofilm in ducts near the river. The humidity off the Caloosahatchee condenses inside ductwork, especially in homes along the eastern edge of Tice, and that moisture feeds a dark, damp growth that a simple vacuum won’t remove. It clings to duct walls and returns within weeks if not removed with agitation under negative pressure.
- Debris trapped in long horizontal duct runs. Many Tice homes are slab-on-grade construction, which means ducts run horizontally through the foundation or attic with minimal slope. Lint, construction debris, and fine dust settle in these runs and never make it to the registers.
- Musty odor that comes back after a cheap cleaning. We regularly hear from Tice homeowners who paid a low per-vent price elsewhere and got a quick vacuum job with no coil cleaning, no blower cleaning, and no agitation. The smell returned in less than a month because the source wasn’t removed.
- Coated evaporator coils from year-round runtime. Tice’s climate means the AC runs from March through October at minimum, and many systems run even in winter. That constant load means coils collect more than dust; they collect a damp, sticky residue that hurts efficiency and indoor air quality.

FAQs About HVAC Cleaning in Tice
Most Tice homes need duct cleaning every 3 to 5 years, but homes along the river corridor or homes with pets, smokers, or recent renovation work may need it every 2 to 3 years. The honest answer is that a properly cleaned system with a clean coil and blower stays cleaner longer. We’ll tell you if your ducts don’t need cleaning yet. Call (737) 727-2314 for a straight answer and a free estimate.
We charge one flat price per system, not per vent. A per-vent quote is how Tice homeowners get surprised when the technician adds charges for the air handler, coil, and return ducts after the work begins. Our written price covers the entire system and is handed to you before we touch anything. That’s The Relay Standard, and it applies to every job.
Yes. Before we start, we run a camera through your ducts and capture the condition. After the cleaning, we capture the same access points so you can see what was removed. The photos are sent to your phone as part of your digital invoice. You’ll never have to guess whether the work was actually done.
We use Rotobrush rotary agitation tools, Nikro HEPA-rated vacuum extraction, and Abatement Technologies containment equipment, all operated in line with NADCA’s source removal standards. Source removal means the debris is mechanically dislodged and extracted under negative pressure, not just blown around or vacuumed at the registers. That’s the difference between a cleaning that lasts and one that doesn’t.
HVAC cleaning in Tice is a scheduled job, and doing it right takes 3 to 5 hours on a typical home. We don’t promise same-day service because a rushed cleaning skips steps. What we do offer is a live trackable arrival window and a written price before we start. Call (737) 727-2314 and we’ll get you on the schedule at the earliest available slot that gives us time to do the job correctly.
