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 Air Duct Cleaning Across Boca Raton
Air duct cleaning in Boca Raton typically runs $450 – $850 for a full system on a standard single-family home, and most jobs take about half a day. We schedule it, price it in writing before any work starts, and document the whole thing with before-and-after photos of your own ducts. No per-vent math, no price that shifts once a tech steps inside. Call (737) 727-2314 and you’ll get a live person who can walk you through exactly what your system needs and what it costs.
Omar Haddad leads our team here in South Florida, and we’ve spent years working in Boca Raton homes: older concrete-block builds west of I-95, high-rise condos along Federal Highway, and the sprawling ranch layouts in neighborhoods around Boca Ranch. We know what hides in these ducts and what it takes to actually remove it.
Why Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning Is Boca Raton’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
We run professional-grade equipment: Rotobrush rotary brush systems for agitating debris free, Nikro HEPA vacuums for negative-pressure extraction, and Abatement Technologies containment when a job calls for it. What that means for you: the loosened dust and rust particles get pulled into the vacuum, not pushed into your living room. We don’t do truck-mounted shop-vac shortcuts, and we don’t quote a low teaser price that balloons at the door.
Every booking includes a written price before a single duct is touched, a live trackable arrival window through The Relay Standard, and your before-and-after photo set delivered by text or email. If the work isn’t right within 365 days, we come back and fix it. That’s the 365-Day Done Right Promise, and it covers every job we do in Boca Raton, no exceptions.
We also answer the phone around the clock. A live person, not a voicemail tree. When you call (737) 727-2314 at 7 a.m. or 11 p.m., someone picks up and helps you schedule the work.
Ductwork Cleaning in Boca Raton
Ductwork Cleaning in Boca Raton is source removal, not just vacuuming the visible register openings. We disconnect the trunk line where needed, run a rotary brush through the full supply and return network under negative pressure, and extract the loosened material through HEPA-filtered vacuum equipment. The goal is to get debris out of the system, not blow it around inside your home.
Boca Raton’s coastal air means older galvanized duct sections corrode. When that rust breaks free, it rides the supply air straight into your bedrooms and living spaces. A proper ductwork cleaning pulls those particles out and gives you a clear picture of what’s in your system.
Supply and return ductwork
Supply ducts carry conditioned air from the air handler to your rooms. Return ducts pull air back to be cooled again. Both collect dust, pet hair, and in Boca Raton specifically, fine sand particles tracked in from the beach and groundwater-heavy landscaping.
We clean supply and return sides separately, and we photograph each register before and after so you can see exactly what was in there.
Full system source removal
A full system cleaning means the trunk line, branch runs, registers, air handler compartment, and the blower area are all addressed in one pass. For a typical Boca Raton single-family home, a full system cleaning runs $450 – $850 depending on square footage and the number of returns.
We agree to one flat price for the entire system before the work starts. That price does not change based on how many vents your house has.
Air Duct Inspection in Boca Raton
Air Duct Inspection in Boca Raton is a camera walk-through of your ductwork: we insert a video probe into the supply and return plenums, branch runs, and registers to document what’s actually in there. The footage shows dust buildup, rust flakes, mold signs, or damage before we quote a cleaning.
In older concrete-block homes, especially those built in the 1980s around communities west of I-95, galvanized duct sections can corrode invisibly. Camera inspection catches that before a cleaning starts, so you know what you’re paying to address. Inspection runs $95 – $195 as a standalone service; it’s included with every full system cleaning we book in Boca Raton.
Pre-cleaning camera scope
We scope first, quote second. If your ducts are corroded, partially disconnected, or holding water, a cleaning alone won’t fix the root issue. The camera shows it, and we walk you through what we see.
Post-cleaning verification
After cleaning, we re-scope the main lines and photograph the before-and-after at each register. The photo set becomes part of your digital invoice. If something doesn’t look right, we address it under the 365-Day Done Right Promise.
Trusted Brands We Service in Boca Raton
We work with equipment from Nikro, Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Abatement Technologies. Nikro HEPA vacuums handle the negative-pressure extraction side. Aprilaire and Honeywell filtration components, including media cabinets and UV systems, are what we recommend after a cleaning if your home has allergy concerns or heavy pet dander. We keep common replacement parts stocked for Boca Raton customers: filter media, access door gaskets, and UV bulbs for Aprilaire and Honeywell units. That stock means faster turnaround when your system needs a follow-up component. Schedule with our Air Duct Cleaning team and we’ll let you know what’s available same-week.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Boca Raton Homes
- Corroded galvanized trunk lines in 1980s-era homes west of I-95. Salt air accelerates rust, and the flakes end up in the supply stream. We see it constantly in communities around Palmetto Park Road and Boca Ranch.
- Sealed high-rise duct systems that recirculate dust. Post-2004 condos along Federal Highway often have tightly sealed envelopes with minimal fresh-air intake. The ducts become the lungs of the unit, and they load up faster than in older cross-ventilated homes.
- Per-vent quotes that surprise homeowners at the end. Sprawling floor plans with many small registers get expensive quickly under per-vent pricing. We quote one flat price for the system, agreed before we start.
- Cleaning attempts without negative pressure containment. High-pressure air pushed through ducts without proper extraction shoves debris into the living space. That’s why we run HEPA-filtered negative pressure on every job.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Boca Raton
Every 3 to 5 years for most homes, but it’s not a fixed calendar event. Homes along the coast, older galvanized duct systems, pet households, and recent renovations push that closer to every 2 to 3 years. If your last cleaning was before a big remodel or before you moved in, it’s worth a camera inspection. We’ll tell you honestly if you don’t need it yet. Call (737) 727-2314 for a straight answer.
Because per-vent pricing punishes homes with more registers. A Boca Raton ranch with 22 supply vents gets quoted one flat system price from us, not a running total that climbs as the tech works. That price is written down and handed to you before work starts. It doesn’t change at the door.
Photos of your own ducts at each register, inside the plenum, and at the air handler before we start and after we finish. You’ll see the actual debris that was in your system and what it looks like after extraction. The photos are delivered with your digital invoice under The Relay Standard.
No. Duct cleaning is a scheduled job, and we won’t promise a same-day arrival window that we can’t hold. What we will give you is a live trackable arrival window when you book, so you know exactly when the crew reaches Boca Raton. No four-hour wait, no vague dispatch window, and no rushed job.
Galvanized duct corrosion. Salt air from the Atlantic accelerates rust, especially in homes west of I-95 where the original ductwork is now 35 – 40 years old. In a 1986 home off Palmetto Park Road near the Intracoastal, our tech opened the air handler and found the evaporator coil matted with rust flakes and dust from a corroded galvanized trunk line. Using Rotobrush agitation under negative pressure with HEPA filtration, we pulled debris from the supply and return ducts and photographed the before-and-after at each register. A camera inspection will show whether your system has the same issue. Call (737) 727-2314 to schedule one.
