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 Kyle
Air duct cleaning in Kyle runs $450 to $1,200 for a complete system on a typical single-family home, and the work takes about 3 to 4 hours with professional-grade equipment. We serve every corner of Kyle, from Plum Creek to Steeplechase to the newer builds off Kohlers Crossing, and our crews arrive with Rotobrush agitation tools and Nikro HEPA extraction units, not a shop vac. You get a written price before a single register is touched, and you get before-and-after photos of your own ducts when the job is done. Call (737) 727-2314 for a free estimate.
Why Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning Is Kyle’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
Kyle homeowners call us because we do something most duct cleaners in Hays County won’t: we hand you a flat price per system before we start, and that number doesn’t move. No per-vent math. No surprise line items once the registers are pulled. The price covers the full system, and it’s agreed on paper first.
Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed. You’ll know the tech’s name before they ring the bell. And every job we do in Kyle is backed by the 365-Day Done Right Promise. If the work isn’t right within a full year, we come back and correct it at no charge. That applies to every booking, no exceptions.
We’re part of the Relay Home Co. family, founded in 2005. That means every Kyle customer books through what we call the Relay Standard: a live trackable arrival window, photo documentation of the work, and a digital invoice you can pay from your phone. A live person answers our phones around the clock. No voicemail loops, no phone tag. Just a straight answer when you call (737) 727-2314.
Vent Cleaning in Kyle
Vent cleaning in Kyle is what we do when a homeowner notices dust settling on furniture a day or two after wiping it down, or when one room never seems to heat or cool like the rest of the house. The process is straightforward: we seal off the supply and return vents, connect a HEPA-filtered negative-pressure unit to the air handler, and run rotary agitation tools through every duct run. The HEPA filtration catches what the agitation loosens, so the debris goes into the vacuum, not back into your living room. For a typical 2,000-square-foot Kyle home, vent cleaning as part of a full system job runs $450 to $800.
Supply and Return Runs
Supply ducts push conditioned air into your rooms. Return ducts pull room air back to the air handler. Both collect dust differently. Supplies collect what’s blowing through them, returns collect what’s being pulled in from the house. In Kyle homes with pets or carpeted bedrooms, return ducts often carry significantly more debris, and we clean both with the same flat price for the full system.
Signs It’s Time
You see dust blooming from a register when the system kicks on. You find a gray film on ceiling fan blades or window blinds. Someone in the house has allergies that spike when the A/C runs. Any one of those is enough reason to call. Two or more means the ducts are overdue.
Air Duct Repair in Kyle
Air duct repair in Kyle usually comes down to one of three problems: disconnected flex duct, crushed or kinked runs, or leaking plenum connections. In the newer subdivisions around Kyle Parkway and FM 1626, we commonly find flex duct that was never properly fastened at the boot, so conditioned air is blowing into the attic instead of the room. In older homes near Railroad Avenue, we see the opposite problem: duct joints sealed with materials that have dried out and cracked over the years. Repairs run $150 to $450 for typical reconnection and sealing work, and every repair carries a written guarantee with a free second visit if the repair fails.
Finding the Leaks
We use a camera inspection to verify before we quote a repair. If the register is blowing weak air in the upstairs bedroom, the fix might be a disconnected run, or it might be a crushed section of flex duct. The camera tells us which one before we touch anything. That’s the difference between a real repair and a guess.
When Repair Beats Replacement
Most disconnected or leaking ducts in Kyle don’t need replacement. They need to be reconnected, refastened, and sealed properly. We’ll tell you if a section actually needs replacing, and we’ll show you the camera footage that justifies it. If it’s a simple reconnect, that’s what we do, and that’s what you pay for.
Trusted Brands We Service in Kyle
We service and clean ducts connected to all major HVAC equipment brands, and we stock common replacement filters from Aprilaire, Honeywell, and Guardsman for Kyle customers who want to upgrade filtration during the cleaning. Our fleet uses Rotobrush rotary brush systems for agitation, Nikro HEPA-rated vacuums for extraction, and Abatement Technologies containment units when a job calls for dust isolation. That professional-grade equipment matters. It’s the difference between cleaning your ducts and simply blowing dust around inside them. If you have a specific filter or system question, ask the tech when they arrive, or call (737) 727-2314 and ask for Omar.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Kyle Homes
- Construction debris in new-build ducts. Kyle has added thousands of new homes in the last decade, and we regularly find drywall dust, sheetrock chunks, and even paint can lids inside ducts in homes built off Kyle Parkway and FM 1626. Builders are supposed to cover registers during construction; many crews don’t.
- Loose flex duct connections. In both new and older Kyle homes, flex duct can pull loose from the register boot. That sends conditioned air into the attic, which drives up your electric bill and leaves rooms feeling stuffy.
- Packed return ducts in Plum Creek and Steeplechase. These neighborhoods have matured past the 15-year mark, and we’ve pulled returns packed with a decade and a half of dust, pet hair, and debris that never got extracted because prior cleanings used a shop vac instead of negative-pressure HEPA extraction.
- Oversized air handlers on undersized returns. Some older Kyle homes have air handlers that pull harder than the return ducts were designed for. That creates negative pressure in the house, which yanks in dust from the attic, the garage, and the crawlspace every time the system runs.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Kyle, TX
A full air duct cleaning for a standard Kyle home runs $450 to $1,200. The price depends on the size of the home, the number of systems (most Kyle homes have one; larger two-story homes sometimes have two), and how much buildup is present. That price is a flat rate per system, not a per-vent calculation, and it’s agreed in writing before any work starts. We don’t bait-and-switch. The written price covers the complete cleaning: supply ducts, return ducts, the air handler cabinet, and a camera inspection before and after. An HVAC cleaning that includes the evaporator coil and blower motor adds $200 to $400. A dryer vent cleaning is $95 to $150 when done alongside a duct cleaning. Call (737) 727-2314 for a free estimate.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Kyle
Every 3 to 5 years for most Kyle homes, but the real answer depends on the house. Newer construction off Kyle Parkway often needs a cleaning within the first two years because of builder dust and debris left in the ducts. Homes with pets, carpet, or allergy sufferers should lean toward the 3-year mark. Call (737) 727-2314 and we’ll give you a straight answer based on your specific home.
Flat price per system, always. We never charge per vent, because that’s how homeowners get quoted a low teaser price and then handed a much larger invoice once the work is underway. You’ll get a written price before we start, and it covers the complete system. If you’re comparing quotes in Kyle, ask every company this exact question: “Is this a flat price for the whole system, or per vent?” The answer will tell you who’s being straight with you.
Yes. Every Kyle job includes camera inspection before we start and after we finish, and you get the photos of your own ducts, not stock images from a website. The after-photo is proof the work was actually done. If someone won’t show you that, they’re not doing the work. Call (737) 727-2314 for a free estimate with photo documentation included.
We use Rotobrush rotary brush systems for agitation, Nikro HEPA-rated vacuum units for negative-pressure extraction, and Abatement Technologies containment equipment when the job calls for it. Negative-pressure extraction means the loosened debris is pulled directly into the HEPA-filtered vacuum rather than blown back into your living space. We also carry Aprilaire, Honeywell, and Guardsman filtration products for Kyle customers who want to upgrade their filter setup during the cleaning.
Yes. Dryer vent cleaning runs $95 to $150 when booked alongside a duct cleaning. It’s a separate vent system from your HVAC ducts, but it’s equally important in Kyle homes. A clogged dryer vent is a fire risk and a common cause of dryers that take two cycles to finish a load. We’ll do it the same visit and include before-and-after photos of that system too. Call (737) 727-2314 to add it to your duct cleaning.
