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 Georgetown
Air duct cleaning in Georgetown, TX typically costs $380 – $620 for a standard single-system home, takes about 3 – 5 hours, and should never be quoted per vent. If you’re breathing dust that resettles on furniture within a day of wiping it down, or your utility bill has crept up while your AC runs longer, your ducts are probably carrying more than air. We’re Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning, part of the Relay Home Co. family, and our crews work throughout Georgetown from Sun City to Serenada, down Williams Drive and across the San Gabriel River neighborhoods. Call (737) 727-2314 and a live person answers, not a voicemail tree.
Why Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning Is Georgetown’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
Georgetown homeowners keep our number because we hand them a written price before a single register is opened, and that price does not change at the door. Omar Haddad built our Georgetown service area on a simple rule: the quote you approve is the invoice you pay. No per-vent math, no surprise “contamination charges” invented after the van is parked in your driveway.
Our technicians arrive in uniform, background-checked, and you’ll know their name before they knock. They run professional-grade equipment you won’t see from a guy with a shop vac and a Facebook coupon: Rotobrush rotary brush systems for agitation, Nikro HEPA vacuums for negative-pressure extraction, and Abatement Technologies containment when a job kicks up real debris. Every booking is backed by the 365-Day Done Right Promise. If the work isn’t right within a full year, we return and correct it at no charge. That’s the longest satisfaction window in the trade, and it covers every job, not just the ones where you complain loudly enough.
We also operate under The Relay Standard, which means you get a live trackable arrival window, before-and-after photo documentation of your own ducts, and a digital invoice you can pay from your phone before we even pull out of the neighborhood. Georgetown is a word-of-mouth town. We earn that word by showing you exactly what we did inside your plenum and trunk lines.
Residential Air Duct Cleaning in Georgetown
Residential Air Duct Cleaning in Georgetown means pulling the accumulated grit, pet dander, and construction dust out of the supply and return ducts that move air from your furnace or air handler to every room. In a market like Georgetown, where housing stock ranges from 1950s pier-and-beam ranches near the square to tightly sealed post-2015 builds in Santa Rita Ranch and MorningStar, the job is never one-size-fits-all. A camera inspection goes in first. Then we build a source removal plan for your actual duct layout, not a generic script. Most standard single-system homes in Georgetown run $380 – $620, and typical jobs take half a day.
We don’t promise that duct cleaning will cure allergies or chop 30% off your energy bill. What it does is remove the chalky limestone dust and cedar pollen grit that Georgetown’s air is famous for, the stuff that settles in your blower fins and on your coils and gets pushed back into rooms as a fine film on nightstands and windowsills. If you moved into a newer Georgetown home and found construction sheetrock dust still cycling through the vents six months later, that’s a textbook source removal case. We clean supply ducts, return ducts, the air handler, the blower, and the plenum as one system, because cleaning half of it just re-contaminates the other half within weeks.
Camera Inspection First
Before any agitation begins, we run a video scope through your trunk lines and flex runs. Georgetown’s older pier-and-beam homes often have original metal ducts under the floor, and we need to see the condition of collars, tape, and seams before we put a brush through them. This inspection also tells us if a flex run has separated, like the one we found on a two-story home off Williams Drive near the San Gabriel River, where the master bedroom was getting almost no airflow. The customer thought the system was dirty. The real problem was a disconnected collar feeding conditioned air into the attic.
Source Removal, Not Just Brushing
A spinning brush that knocks dust off the sides of a duct does nothing if that dust isn’t captured. We run negative-pressure extraction, meaning the air inside your ducts stays under vacuum the entire time. The loosened debris goes straight into the Nikro HEPA filtration unit, not back into your living room. Then we photograph the registers and plenum before and after, so you see exactly what you paid for.
Commercial Air Duct Cleaning in Georgetown
Commercial Air Duct Cleaning in Georgetown covers offices, churches, retail bays, medical suites, restaurants, and the growing light industrial strip along Highway 29 and Austin Avenue. Commercial systems here see longer runtime hours, higher occupancy, and more frequent filter loading than residential systems, which means the return ducts in a Georgetown dental practice or a lunch-rush kitchen on Williams Drive accumulate grease, drywall dust, and skin cell debris at a rate that surprises most facility managers. Our commercial team cleans package units, rooftop air handlers, and long trunk lines with the same written-price rule we use on homes: one flat price per system, agreed before we start. Typical commercial jobs in Georgetown start around $900 and scale with system count and access points.
We schedule around your operating hours. For a church off University Avenue, that often means a Saturday. For an office building near the Sun City commercial corridor, it might be a Sunday morning. Omar Haddad’s team coordinates directly with property managers so nobody loses a business day to a duct job. We carry Abatement Technologies containment equipment when we’re working in an occupied building, so adjacent offices keep operating without dust migration. And every commercial job comes with the same 365-Day Done Right Promise and photo documentation that our residential customers get.
Occupied Building Protocol
If your Georgetown tenants or staff stay in the building during the cleaning, we set up containment barriers and run the vacuum extraction continuously. The work is audible, which is unavoidable, but it shouldn’t send dust into the hallway. We’ve cleaned medical offices near Georgetown Medical Plaza where the standard for airborne particulates isn’t optional, and the Nikro HEPA units hold that line.
Restaurant and Kitchen Exhaust Context
Most Georgetown restaurant duct cleaning needs are actually for the kitchen exhaust system, which is a different service. What we handle is the supply and return air system: the ducts feeding dining rooms, storage areas, and offices above the fryer heat. Those lines pick up a film from the kitchen atmosphere, and periodic source removal keeps that film out of your dining room airflow.
Trusted Brands We Service in Georgetown
Georgetown homes are a mix of original builder-grade systems, mid-market replacements, and a growing number of high-efficiency installs. We clean and service ducts across the full range: Trane, Carrier, Lennox, Goodman, Rheem, and American Standard are the names we see most often on Georgetown air handlers, and the cleaning protocol adapts to the blower type and coil configuration. For filtration, we keep Honeywell and Aprilaire media filters and Guardsman products in stock for Georgetown customers, so if your media cabinet is loaded with a two-year-old filter, we can replace it on the spot. We also use Rotobrush and Nikro equipment because they’re the standard for professional source removal, and we mention them by name so you know we’re not running a truck-mounted shop-vac operation.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Georgetown Homes
- Alkaline limestone dust film. Georgetown sits on the Edwards Plateau transition, and the soil here is famously alkaline and powdery. That dust infiltrates homes on boots, on pets, and through door seals, then gets pulled into return ducts where it builds a chalky, gritty film that clogs blower motor fins and defeats MERV filtration faster than in wetter metros like Houston or Beaumont.
- Spring cedar pollen load. Every December through March, Georgetown gets hammered with mountain cedar pollen from the Hill Country. It’s fine, sticky, and travels deep into duct systems. If you notice a sharp uptick in sneezing inside the house and your filters are caked with a yellow-brown powder, your ducts are cycling that pollen back through the bedrooms.
- 1970s pier-and-beam ranch duct separation. Homes near downtown Georgetown and along the older streets off Church Street often sit on pier-and-beam with original metal ducts under the floor. Those ducts can separate at seams, especially after decades of foundation movement on expansive Georgetown clay. A disconnected return duct pulls air from the crawlspace, which means whatever lives under your house ends up in your living room. We see this constantly.
- Post-2015 construction dust in new builds. Georgetown has added thousands of homes in Sun City, Santa Rita Ranch, Serenada, and MorningStar since 2015. Builders rarely clean duct systems after drywall work, so new homeowners inherit a system full of sheetrock dust and fiberglass insulation particles. Cleaning year-one dust out of a two-year-old home is one of our most common jobs in Georgetown’s newer neighborhoods.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Georgetown, TX
Here are real numbers for Georgetown, not a teaser rate designed to get a van in your driveway. A standard single-system home under 2,200 square feet runs $380 – $520. A larger custom home with two systems, which we see often in Sun City and the golf course communities, runs $450 – $620 per system. Commercial work starts around $900. These are whole-system prices: source removal of supply and return ducts, plenum, air handler, blower, and coil, plus camera inspection and before-and-after photos. We don’t quote per vent because that punishes homeowners with 18 registers and rewards crews who skip the air handler. The price you approve in writing before work starts is the price on your final invoice. Call (737) 727-2314 for a free estimate, and we’ll tell you honestly whether your ducts need cleaning at all. Sometimes the honest answer is that they don’t, and we’ll tell you that too.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Georgetown
Every 4 to 6 years is the honest interval for most Georgetown homes, though homes with multiple pets, recent renovations, or occupants with severe allergies may benefit from every 2 to 3 years. The National Air Duct Cleaners Association suggests 3 to 5 years for typical households. If you replaced flooring, sanded drywall, or bought a newly built home in Georgetown in the last 18 months, a first-time cleaning is almost always worth it because construction debris sits in the system until someone removes it. Call (737) 727-2314 and describe your home; we’ll give you a straight answer on whether you’re due or whether you can wait a few more years.
We charge per system, never per vent. Per-vent pricing sounds cheap on a flyer but punishes homeowners with many registers and creates an incentive for crews to rush the far end of the trunk line. One flat price per system, agreed before we start, covers the supply ducts, return ducts, plenum, air handler, blower, and coil. Call (737) 727-2314 for a free system-based estimate.
We start with a camera inspection, then seal off registers and set up negative-pressure extraction with a HEPA-filtered vacuum. We agitate the interior surfaces with Rotobrush rotary brushes, remove the source material through the vacuum, clean the air handler and blower, and photograph everything before and after. The whole process takes about 3 to 5 hours for a typical Georgetown home. You see every step, and you receive before-and-after photos of your own registers and plenum before we leave.
Yes, and in most cases they should be, because 50-year-old metal trunk lines under a pier-and-beam home have accumulated decades of debris: insulation fibers, pest residue, clay dust, and often separated seams or failing duct tape. The camera inspection tells us whether the metal is sound enough to clean with agitation tools or whether a section needs replacement. We won’t put a spinning brush through fragile old metal without looking first. If a repair is needed, it’s covered by the same written guarantee and free second visit that comes with every Cardinal job.
Duct cleaning is a scheduled job, and same-day arrival isn’t something we promise. What we do promise is a live arrival window you can track from your phone, and a written price before any work begins. We do book Georgetown jobs every week, and if you call (737) 727-2314, a live person answers and gives you real scheduling options, not an automated callback.
