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 West Lake Hills, TX
Air duct cleaning in West Lake Hills, TX typically runs $290 – $520 for a standard single-system home, and most jobs are booked within a few days. This is limestone hill country, with tight lots, mature oaks and cedars, and a lot of custom construction – which means your ductwork is often longer, older, and dustier than what you’d find in a flat suburban tract. If you want a written price before anyone touches a vent, call Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning at (737) 727-2314.
Why West Lake Hills Homes Are Different
West Lake Hills sits on the west side of Austin, built into hills where homes climb with the terrain rather than spreading across level lots. That elevation and the dense tree cover do two things to HVAC systems. First, duct runs get long. A hillside home with a garage-level system pushing air to a third-floor bedroom is working against distance, heat gain, and pressure loss. Second, cedar and oak pollen settle into return ducts all spring, and construction dust from steady remodeling hangs around for years. The homes here also skew larger – 4,000, 6,000, sometimes 8,000 square feet – with multiple systems, which changes both scope and price. What a single-system 1,800-square-foot home in another city needs is not what a West Lake Hills custom build needs.
Our Main West Lake Hills Services
Most West Lake Hills homeowners call us for one of two reasons: either a dryer vent that takes two cycles to finish a load, or ducts that have never been properly cleaned. Each service has its own West Lake Hills page because the scope differs enough to matter.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in West Lake Hills
Dryer vents in West Lake Hills run long and often exit through roofs rather than side walls, because the terrain pushes laundry rooms toward the center of the house. Long, vertical runs collect lint faster and are harder to brush out completely with a homeowner’s drill kit. We run Rotobrush rotary brushes down the full run, then pull negative pressure with a HEPA vacuum so the loosened lint goes into the machine, not back into the room. If your laundry load takes two cycles to dry, Dryer Vent Cleaning in West Lake Hills breaks down exactly what’s involved and what it costs.
Air Duct Cleaning in West Lake Hills
Whole-home duct cleaning here is a different job than it is in a flat tract subdivision, because the systems are bigger and the runs are longer. We seal off each register, attach a HEPA vacuum to the main trunk, and mechanically agitate every branch with professional brushes. The standard we hold to is before-and-after photo proof at every register and a written price before the equipment comes off the truck. Read through the full breakdown on the Air Duct Cleaning in West Lake Hills page, including what pushes a job toward the upper end of the range.
HVAC Cleaning in West Lake Hills
HVAC cleaning in West Lake Hills means the mechanical side: blower wheel, coils, drain pan, and the cabinet itself. Austin’s humidity and limestone dust create a paste that builds up on the evaporator coil and clogs the drain line. When the coil is dirty, the system runs longer to hit the same temperature – and the blower wheel losing balance is what makes the hum you can hear from the hallway. HVAC Cleaning in West Lake Hills covers scope, price, and what we use to do the job.
