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 Hemet, CA
Most standard air duct cleanings in Hemet run $395 – $595 for a typical single-story home, and the job takes about 3 – 5 hours. Hemet’s dust, summer heat, and older HVAC systems mean coils clog faster and return air pulls in more particulate than coastal cities. We’re Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning, and we handle the three jobs Hemet homeowners call about most: air duct cleaning, HVAC cleaning, and dryer vent cleaning. Call (737) 727-2314 for a written quote before any work begins.
Why Hemet Homes Are Different
Hemet sits in the San Jacinto Valley, where summer temperatures routinely push past 100°F and the air carries fine dust from the surrounding foothills. That combination is hard on ductwork. Homes in central Hemet and the older streets near Florida Avenue were built largely between the 1960s and 1980s, and many still run original galvanized duct runs that have never been opened. In those systems we regularly find a quarter-inch of packed dust along the return side, plus pet dander and hair embedded in the flex connectors. Homes in the newer developments east of Sanderson and around the western edge of town tend to have flex-duct layouts with longer runs, which collect debris differently. Neither style is bad; they just need different tooling and pressure settings. We run professional equipment from Nikro and Abatement Technologies to handle both without sending loosened dust back into the living space. Lived in by renters or owners who have been there twenty years, a Hemet house usually hasn’t had its ducts touched since it was built, and that’s exactly what we’re called in to correct.
Our Main Hemet Services
Hemet homeowners call us for two reasons more than any others: dryer vents that aren’t pulling air and whole-home duct systems that haven’t been cleaned in a decade or more. Here is what each job looks like locally.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Hemet
Dryer vent runs in Hemet tend to be long, and in older homes along side yards they often make two or three 90-degree turns before reaching the exterior. Lint packs into those elbows fast, especially in homes where the dryer runs daily through a hot summer. We remove the built-up lint along the full length of the run, not just the first few feet behind the dryer, and confirm proper airflow at the exterior vent before we leave. That matters because a blocked vent forces your dryer to run longer, drives heat back into the laundry room, and creates a fire risk. See the full breakdown on our Dryer Vent Cleaning in Hemet page.
Air Duct Cleaning in Hemet
A standard air duct cleaning in Hemet covers all supply and return ducts, the main trunk lines, and registers throughout the house. We use negative-pressure extraction, which means loosened debris goes straight into the vacuum instead of recirculating through your rooms. In Hemet homes with central AC running five or six months a year, we focus on the return side, where dust concentrates and where filters often haven’t been changed regularly. The process leaves the system breathing freely and knocks down the volume of dust landing on furniture between cleanings. Read the complete scope on our Air Duct Cleaning in Hemet page.
HVAC Cleaning in Hemet
HVAC cleaning in Hemet goes beyond the ducts and addresses the equipment itself: evaporator coils, blower fan, housing, and condensate drain line. The coil is where Hemet’s summer humidity and dust form a paste that restricts heat exchange, which makes the whole system work harder and pushes energy bills up. We clean the coil and blower assembly with professional products, then clear the drain line so water doesn’t back up into the pan. Done as part of a duct cleaning or on its own, this service brings a measurable airflow improvement. Details are on our HVAC Cleaning in Hemet page.
