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.

AfterAir Duct Cleaning Company in Southwest Ranches, FL
Air duct cleaning in Southwest Ranches runs $400 to $900 for a typical single-family home, though larger estates with multiple HVAC systems can push past $1,200. That price should always be written down before any work starts, not quoted over the phone as a teaser and adjusted at the door. At Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning, we serve Southwest Ranches with one flat price per system agreed to before a single duct is touched. Call (737) 727-2314 when you want a real number, not a ballpark.
Why Southwest Ranches Homes Are Different
Southwest Ranches is a town of acre-plus lots, horse properties, and custom-built homes that don’t fit the cookie-cutter mold. That matters for duct work. Many houses here run multiple air handlers, long duct runs from a central mechanical room or garage, and return paths that snake through hallways and closets. Add South Florida’s humidity and you get a specific problem: condensation inside ducts that turns ordinary dust into a paste, which then traps more debris. We see this constantly in Southwest Ranches, especially in homes where the AC runs nearly year-round.
Another factor is landscaping. It sounds unrelated until you realize your air handler pulls return air from inside the home, but the dust that lands in your registers usually starts outside. Southwest Ranches properties tend to have extended driveways, unpaved equestrian areas, and mature tree cover. That means more fine particulate, more pollen, and more organic material working its way into the HVAC system than you’d find in a zero-lot-line neighborhood. A proper cleaning here isn’t just about the ducts; it’s about resetting the whole airflow path.
Our Main Southwest Ranches Services
Most Southwest Ranches homeowners call us for one of three jobs: clearing a clogged dryer vent, deep-cleaning the air ducts, or cleaning the full HVAC system including coils and blower. Each has its own page below.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Southwest Ranches
Long dryer vent runs are common in Southwest Ranches, especially when the laundry room sits on an interior wall or the vent exits through the roof. A clogged vent doesn’t just slow drying; it forces the dryer to run hotter and longer, and that is how lint fires start. We use a rotary brush system matched to your vent’s diameter and then verify airflow with a digital manometer, so we know the pipe is actually clear before we pack up. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Southwest Ranches covers what to expect and what it costs.
Air Duct Cleaning in Southwest Ranches
Our air duct cleaning uses negative-pressure extraction paired with a Rotobrush agitation system. That means the debris loosened inside the duct goes straight into a HEPA-filtered vacuum, not back into your living room. In Southwest Ranches homes with multiple zones and long branch runs, we’ll clean every supply and return line, including the trunk line, and document the before and after with photos you can see on your phone. Air Duct Cleaning in Southwest Ranches has the full breakdown.
HVAC Cleaning in Southwest Ranches
Duct cleaning handles the pipes. HVAC cleaning goes further and includes the evaporator coil, blower motor, blower wheel, and drain pan. In Southwest Ranches, where AC systems run hard for most of the year, coil buildup is the quiet killer of cooling performance and it drives up power bills. We pull the blower, clean the wheel with a soft brush, and treat the coil without harsh chemicals that can corrode aluminum fins. HVAC Cleaning in Southwest Ranches details the full process.
