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 Somerset, TX
Air duct cleaning in Somerset, TX typically costs $350 – $650 for a standard single-system home, with most jobs completed in a single morning or afternoon visit. Somerset sits just southwest of San Antonio, and its mix of older ranch-style homes and newer construction means duct systems gather dust at different rates depending on the house. We’re Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning, part of the Relay Home Co. family, and we run professional-grade Rotobrush and Nikro equipment on every Somerset job. Call (737) 727-2314 and we’ll give you a written price before a single vent is touched.
Why Somerset Homes Are Different
Somerset’s location in the Atascosa County corner of the San Antonio metro means two things for ductwork: caliche dust and long cooling seasons. The soil here is a fine, powdery limestone that kicks up easily in dry weather, and once it’s airborne, HVAC returns pull it straight into the duct system. Homes around 4th Street, Somerset Road, and the older neighborhoods near the high school often have return ducts that run through attic spaces, so when roofs heat up to South Texas summer temperatures, dust bakes onto the interior walls of those returns. It does not blow out on its own.
We also see a lot of single-story ranch homes with central returns, which means every room pulls air from one shared point. When one bedroom has a dust problem, it’s almost always spreading. Newer subdivisions on the north side of town have tighter building envelopes but smaller mechanical closets, which makes access trickier, not easier. Those are the jobs where negative-pressure extraction matters most: we seal the register, pull a vacuum on the system, and loosen debris with a rotary brush so it goes straight into the Nikro HEPA unit, not back into the living room.
Our Main Somerset Services
Three jobs keep Somerset homeowners calling us, and each has its own page with local pricing, what to expect, and the one condition that changes how the work gets done here.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Somerset
Lint accumulates fast in Somerset dryers because the warm, dry air keeps clothes shedding at a steady rate year-round. Most homes here run their dryers two to three times a week, and a vent that has not been cleaned in two years is usually holding back enough airflow to add serious minutes to every cycle. We remove the lint from the full vent run, check the termination flap outside, and confirm airflow with a measurement before we leave. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Somerset covers pricing for typical vent runs and what a blocked vent is actually costing you each month.
Air Duct Cleaning in Somerset
The dust that settles in Somerset ductwork is fine, grayish caliche, and a standard vacuum-only cleaning does not remove it because it compacts against the duct walls like plaster. We use a Rotobrush rotary brush to break that layer loose while a HEPA negative-pressure unit pulls it out of the system, so nothing gets pushed into your rooms. After the register covers go back on, we document the condition with photos you can review on your phone. Air Duct Cleaning in Somerset has the full breakdown by system size and what to expect on the day.
HVAC Cleaning in Somerset
Your air handler, blower wheel, and evaporator coil sit right in the path of everything your ducts collect. In Somerset, where cooling runs from March through October, a dirty coil works like a wet blanket over your system’s efficiency. We clean the blower assembly, coil, and the cabinet interior with professional equipment, and we include before and after photos so you can see the difference. HVAC Cleaning in Somerset walks through what a full HVAC cleaning includes and what it costs here.

What pushes a Somerset price toward the higher end is usually attic access: a second-story register run through a tight attic can add labor time, and older ranch homes sometimes have vent boots that were never sealed properly and need extra attention. The price we quote is the price you pay. We hand you a written figure before work starts, and it does not move at the door.
