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 New Braunfels, TX
Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning handles the three jobs New Braunfels homeowners call us about most: air duct cleaning, HVAC cleaning, and dryer vent cleaning. Most standard whole-home air duct cleanings in New Braunfels run $450 – $750 for a typical single-system home, with a written price handed to you before any work starts. The limestone dust, oak pollen, and fast housing growth here make New Braunfels a market where ducts load up faster than homeowners expect. Call (737) 727-2314 and we’ll give you a straight answer on what your system needs.
Why New Braunfels Homes Are Different
New Braunfels sits on the edge of the Hill Country, and that geography shows up inside your ductwork. Homes here collect a specific mix: fine limestone dust from exposed caliche and construction, live oak and mountain cedar pollen that blows in from the surrounding terrain, and high humidity from the Comal and Guadalupe rivers that lets dust adhere to duct walls instead of blowing through. We see it most in older homes near downtown New Braunfels and in the neighborhoods east of I-35, where return ducts often pull from unconditioned attics and garages.
The housing stock spans a wide range, from 1960s ranch houses with original galvanized ductwork to new builds in Gruene and Avery Park where drywall dust from construction is still circulating through the system. Central Texas cooling seasons run long, which means your HVAC system cycles constantly from March through October. That constant airflow pushes pollen, construction debris, and household dust through the ducts. Pet hair, carpet fibers, and the humidity that New Braunfels carries all year compound it. Homeowners in Canyon Lake and River Chase deal with the same pollen loads but often have longer duct runs and second-story returns that make access different from a single-story downtown bungalow. The work is never one-size-fits-all here, and the price reflects the actual condition of your system, not a generic menu.
Our Main New Braunfels Services
These are the three services New Braunfels homeowners call about most, each with its own dedicated page.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in New Braunfels
Dryer vents in New Braunfels clog faster than the state average, and the reason is specific: hard water from the Edwards Aquifer shortens the life of dryer heating elements, which then dry less efficiently and shed more lint. Add the humidity from the Comal and Guadalupe river basins and you get lint that sticks to vent walls instead of blowing clear. We clear the full run from the dryer to the exterior termination, verify airflow at the exit point, and leave the vent moving air the way it should. See Dryer Vent Cleaning in New Braunfels for pricing and what the job includes.
Air Duct Cleaning in New Braunfels
Whole-home air duct cleaning here means pulling the limestone dust, oak pollen, pet dander, and construction debris that New Braunfels homes accumulate out of the supply and return lines. We run professional rotary brush systems through the ducts under negative pressure, so loosened debris goes straight into a HEPA-filtered vacuum rather than back into your living room. The job can reveal exactly how much pollen and construction dust has settled in a home that’s only a few years old, especially in newer developments where drywall dust was never fully removed. See Air Duct Cleaning in New Braunfels for full detail and local pricing.
HVAC Cleaning in New Braunfels
HVAC cleaning goes further than the ducts alone. We clean the blower motor, evaporator coil, drain pan, and the interior of the air handler, because a coil caked with New Braunfels pollen and limestone dust forces your system to work harder every cycle. That directly affects your cooling bill from April through October. We clean the coil and blower in place, treat the drain pan to resist the mold growth that Central Texas humidity invites, and confirm airflow is back where it belongs. See HVAC Cleaning in New Braunfels for what the job covers and what it costs.
