We’re the air duct specialist in the Relay Home Co. family, which was founded in 2005, and our Medina work is led by Omar Haddad. What that means for you: background-checked technicians in uniform, professional-grade equipment from Rotobrush and Nikro, and a written price before any work starts. No vague estimates. No per-vent games. No surprises at the door.

Why Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning Is Medina’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company

Medina homeowners tend to do their homework. They’ve seen the bait-and-switch duct cleaning ads and they’re tired of it. Omar and our team have built a reputation across Medina the honest way: we show up when we say we will, we name a flat price for the whole system, and we photograph your own ducts before and after so you can see exactly what we did.

Local knowledge matters here more than most places. Medina’s housing stock splits sharply between century-old homes with original sheet-metal ductwork and 1990s and 2000s builds with flex duct tucked into tight chases. A technician who treats both the same way will either leave debris behind or damage the liner in newer homes. Our team works under NADCA standards and adjusts the approach based on what the camera inspection shows, not a one-size-fits-all script.

Every booking comes with The Relay Visibility Guarantee: a live, trackable arrival window, before-and-after photo documentation, and a digital invoice you can pay from your phone. And every job is covered 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 not a limited offer. It’s every booking, without exception.

Residential Air Duct Cleaning in Medina

Residential Air Duct Cleaning in Medina means something different depending on which side of town you live on. Near the Square, you’re likely in a Victorian with original galvanized trunks and decades of settled dust in the return side. Off Reagan Parkway, your system is probably newer, with flex runs that need a gentler agitation approach and a careful camera pass before we commit to any brush work. A typical single-family home in Medina runs $350 – $600 for a complete system cleaning.

We start every residential job with a video inspection of the supply and return ducts. That shows us what’s actually in there – construction debris, pet hair, dust caked into joints – and tells us which tools are safe to use. Then we set up negative pressure with a HEPA-rated Nikro vacuum, meaning the debris we loosen goes straight into the filtration unit, not back into your living room. After the cleaning, we photograph the supply registers, the return drop, and the trunk line so you can compare before and after yourself.

Return Duct Cleaning

The return side is where Medina homes collect the most debris, especially older houses with original returns running through interior walls. Return ducts pull air from the living space toward the furnace, and over years they pack with dust, hair, and sometimes insulation from attic work. We clean the full return path from the grille to the air handler, because cleaning only the supply side leaves the system re-contaminating itself within weeks.

Full System Cleaning

Most Medina homeowners choose a full system cleaning, which covers the supply ducts, return ducts, trunk line, and air handler plenum. This is the only way to remove the source of recurring dust at the registers. It takes about half a day for a typical 2,000-square-foot home and is included in the flat per-system price we quote before work begins.

Commercial Air Duct Cleaning in Medina

Commercial Air Duct Cleaning in Medina is a different animal from residential work, and we approach it that way. Restaurants along Medina Road, offices near the hospital corridor, retail spaces around the Square – each has code requirements, occupancy considerations, and systems that run harder and longer than anything in a home. A commercial duct cleaning for a small-to-midsize Medina business typically runs $800 – $2,200 depending on the square footage and number of rooftop units or air handlers.

The process is the same in principle: camera inspection first, then source removal under negative pressure with containment where needed, then photo documentation. But for commercial clients we also coordinate around business hours so the work doesn’t disrupt your customers. We provide a written scope and a flat price per system before we begin, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise applies to commercial bookings exactly as it does to residential ones.

Video Inspection

For commercial properties, especially older buildings around the Square that have seen multiple renovations, we always recommend a documented video inspection as the first step. It gives you and your facility manager a clear picture of duct condition, identifies blockages or damage, and provides a baseline for future maintenance. The footage is yours to keep.

Supply Duct Cleaning

In commercial systems, supply ducts often run long distances from a rooftop unit and accumulate dust unevenly across the run. We clean supply ductwork thoroughly, including branch runs, and verify airflow at the end of the job. For buildings with reheat coils or VAV boxes, we coordinate with your HVAC contractor so nothing gets bypassed or damaged.

Trusted Brands We Service in Medina

Medina homes carry equipment from every major furnace and air handler brand, and our techs service systems from Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Carrier to Trane and Lennox. We stock common Aprilaire filter replacements and Honeywell media cabinets on our trucks, which means we can often handle a filter housing swap or a broken access panel during the same visit. For homes with whole-house filtration products from Aprilaire or Guardsman, we clean the duct system with that equipment in mind, making sure the filtration side stays clean enough to do its job.

Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Medina Homes

• Construction debris in original ductwork. Older Medina homes around South Court Street and the Square often have galvanized trunks that were never cleaned after major remodels. We regularly pull out drywall chunks, nails, and plaster dust that have been recirculating for years.
• Torn flex duct liners in newer builds. Homes off Reagan Parkway and along the Medina Township edges were built fast in the 1990s and 2000s, and aggressive cleaning with a hard brush can tear the plastic liner and leave fiberglass in the air stream. We use a camera first and select agitation tools based on what the duct can handle.
• Blocked returns from closed doors and furniture. Many Medina homes run with undersized returns, especially older Victorians. When returns are blocked or undersized, the blower pulls air through wall cavities and brings dust and insulation into the system. We point this out during inspection and clean what’s reachable.
• The “register wipe” job done by a previous company. We get calls from Medina homeowners who paid for a duct cleaning and got little more than wiped registers and a foggy photo. If your ducts weren’t actively cleaned under negative pressure with agitation at the source, the debris is still in there. That’s why we photograph the trunk line and returns, not just the pretty register covers.
