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 Loomis
Air duct cleaning in Loomis typically costs between $490 and $940 for a whole-home system, and the honest truth is that most Loomis homes need it every 3 to 5 years, not every year. We’re Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning, part of the Relay Home Co. family, and we serve every neighborhood in Loomis from the Basin to the hills with one flat price per system agreed before we start. If you’re seeing dust settle back onto furniture within days of wiping it down, or your registers are blowing visible particles when the heat kicks on, call us at (737) 727-2314 and we’ll walk you through what’s actually worth doing.
Why Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning Is Loomis’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
Loomis homeowners tend to ask sharper questions than most because a big share of them either grew up on Placer County ranches or bought those orchard-conversion subdivisions knowing exactly what 100-degree summers do to a house. We show up with the same transparency they expect. Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed, and you’ll know the tech’s name before they pull into your driveway. We run professional-grade equipment: Rotobrush rotary brush systems, Nikro HEPA-rated vacuums, and Abatement Technologies containment units. No shop-vacs in the driveway, no mystery equipment, no price that changes once the van is parked.
Every booking through Cardinal comes with The Relay Standard: a live trackable arrival window, before-and-after photos of your own ducts, and a digital invoice you can pay from your phone. Omar Haddad, who runs Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning, has built the Loomis service around one idea: if we wouldn’t show our own grandmother the before-and-after photos, we haven’t finished the job. The 365-Day Done Right Promise backs every visit. If the work isn’t right within a full year, we return and correct it at no charge. That’s not a promotion. It’s the standing offer.
Air Duct Cleaning Services in Loomis
Air Duct Cleaning Services in Loomis means pulling the accumulated dust, pet hair, and construction debris out of the supply trunks, return drops, and branch runs that snake through your attic and crawlspace. Most standard single-system homes in Loomis run between $490 and $940 for a complete source-removal cleaning, priced per system, not per vent. We never quote a per-vent rate, because the vent count is not the right unit of work on a Loomis tract home built during the 1980s-2000s orchard-to-subdivision conversion.
What the Job Actually Involves
We cut access ports, run a rotary brush through the full supply and return system, and keep the entire run under negative pressure the whole time. That means the loosened debris goes straight into the HEPA-filtered vacuum, not back into your living room. We finish with the blower cabinet and coil area, because in Loomis that’s where the heaviest dust load sits after an AC upgrade or roof replacement.
When You Should Call
If you just finished a remodel, changed your HVAC system’s tonnage, or bought a home where the previous owners had dogs and a woodshop, you’re a strong candidate. If your air is clean and you changed the filter two weeks ago, you probably don’t need us yet. We’ll tell you that on the phone, because selling a cleaning you don’t need breaks the trust that makes Air Duct Cleaning worth paying for.

HVAC Duct Cleaning in Loomis
HVAC Duct Cleaning in Loomis is the service we recommend to anyone whose furnace or air handler has not been opened in years. The duct runs are only half the equation. The blower motor, evaporator coil, and the cabinet that houses them collect a dense mat of lint, dust, and pollen that then re-enters the system every time the blower cycles on. A full HVAC duct cleaning in Loomis runs between $590 and $1,090 depending on the number of systems and the condition of the coil.
Supply and Return Duct Cleaning
We clean both sides separately because they fail differently. Supply ducts push air into rooms and collect construction debris from the original build. Return ducts pull air back and collect the household dust that bypasses the filter. On a Loomis home with a single central return and ductwork that snakes through an unconditioned Placer County attic, cleaning one side and not the other is half a job.
Full System Cleaning With Camera Verification
We run a video inspection before and after on every full system. That’s not an upsell. On older Loomis homes where flex duct has baked in a 100-plus-degree attic for twenty summers, the camera often catches a separated collar that a visual check misses. You clean what you can see, and we’d rather see it all before we tell you the job is done.
Trusted Brands We Service in Loomis
The equipment in Loomis homes spans every era from late-70s belt-drive furnaces to variable-speed heat pumps installed last year. We service and clean duct systems attached to all of them, and we regularly work with filtration products from Aprilaire, Honeywell, and Guardsman. If your system uses a media cabinet or an Aprilaire filter grille, we know how to clean around it without compromising the seal. We also stock Guardsman filter replacements for Loomis customers who want to keep a clean system clean after we leave. Aprilaire media filters and Guardsman panels are two of the most common filtration setups we service around Loomis, and we match the MERV rating at the grille to what your system was designed to pull, because a MERV 13 in a tract home built for MERV 8 will choke airflow and undo the cleaning within a season.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Loomis Homes
- Settled dust that releases on the first heat cycle. The Sacramento Valley inversion layer settles here in winter, and supply and return ducts that sat all summer in a hot Placer County attic release that settled dust the first time the furnace fires. We see this pattern across Loomis Basin and the hills above Taylor Road every October through November.
- Construction sawdust and drywall dust from the original build. Most Loomis homes were built during the orchard-to-subdivision conversion of the 1980s-2000s, and their duct systems were sized for one furnace/AC tonnage. Twenty to thirty years later, that original construction dust is still in the branch runs, and a whole-house negative-pressure setup is built to pull it out.
- Separated flex duct in unconditioned attics. On older Loomis homes where flex duct bakes through 100-degree summers, the collar connections separate. The camera catches what the eye can’t, and we find runs dumping attic air into the supply side more often than homeowners expect.
- Dust load concentrated in the air handler after an AC upgrade. We ran a job in the Loomis Basin area where the homeowner had replaced their 3-ton AC with a larger 4-ton unit. The old blower motor was moving less air through undersized supply and return ducts, so the larger system pulled dust off the duct walls into the return grille. We cut in a camera inspection port, ran source removal with the Rotobrush and Nikro agitation tools under negative pressure with HEPA filtration, then sent the homeowner before-and-after photos of their own air handler cabinet and register boots before we left. One flat price per system, agreed before we started.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Loomis
Every 3 to 5 years for most Loomis homes, and sometimes longer if you run good filtration and have no pets, no remodel history, and a tight building envelope. It’s not worth it if your only symptom is that a white glove picks up a little dust on a shelf, because some dust settling is normal in any occupied home. It IS worth it if you see visible dust blowing from registers, if your return grille is coated, or if your air handler cabinet hasn’t been opened in a decade. Call (737) 727-2314 and we’ll tell you which side of that line you’re on before we schedule anything.
Per system, always. We quote one flat price per HVAC system before any work starts, and that written price does not change at the door. We do not price per vent because the vent count is the wrong unit of work on a Loomis tract home with a single central return and ductwork that snakes through a hot Placer County attic. Per-vent pricing is how a low coupon becomes a large invoice once the van is on the drive. We’d rather hand you a number that holds.
First we inspect the system with a camera. Then we cut access ports, run a rotary brush through the full supply and return system, and keep the entire run under negative pressure with a Nikro HEPA-filtered vacuum the whole time. We clean the blower cabinet and coil area last. Before we leave, you get before-and-after photos of your own ducts, including the air handler and register boots. One price, agreed before we start, and a digital invoice you can pay from your phone.
Sometimes it will, and sometimes the dust is coming from the attic, from leaking return runs, or from the building envelope itself. In Loomis homes where the return duct has separated at the collar in an unconditioned attic, the system pulls attic air and dust straight into the house no matter how clean the ducts are. That’s why our camera inspection runs before and after. If cleaning the ducts won’t fix your dust problem, we’d rather tell you that than sell you a cleaning that won’t help.
We schedule every Loomis job with a live trackable arrival window, and we do not promise same-day service because a proper source-removal duct cleaning takes several hours and we won’t rush it. When you call (737) 727-2314, a live person answers and gives you the next available arrival window for Loomis, plus a written price before any work starts. No bait, no rush, no invoice that changes at the door.
