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 Jacksonville, FL
Air duct cleaning in Jacksonville, FL typically costs $350 – $550 for a standard single-system home, and the job usually takes 3 – 5 hours once our crew arrives. Jacksonville’s specific mix of humidity, pollen, sandy soil, and older HVAC layouts means ducts here collect a particular kind of debris: fine gray dust bound together with moisture, plus a steady supply of oak pollen and construction grit. We’re Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning, part of the Relay Home Co. family founded in 2005, and our Jacksonville office coordinates every job with a written price before we touch a single vent. Call (737) 727-2314 for a free estimate.
Why Jacksonville Homes Are Different
Jacksonville’s climate does two things to ductwork at once: the humidity keeps dust stuck to duct walls instead of blowing through, and the long cooling season means your AC circulates air through those ducts for eight to ten months a year. Homes in Arlington, San Marco, and Mandarin built before 1990 often have return ducts sized for older, less efficient systems, so they pull harder and collect contamination faster. Houses in newer developments like Bartram Park and Nocatee tend to have flex duct runs in hot attics, where the insulation jacket degrades and sheds fibers into the airstream. We also see a lot of what we call “renovation residue” in Riverside and Avondale: drywall dust and paint overspray from flips and remodels that settles deep in the ductwork. A Jacksonville home five miles from the Intracoastal deals with salt air and higher humidity than a home off I-10 on the Westside, and the duct condition reflects that. None of this is exotic – it’s just predictable, and the cleaning approach changes based on which part of the city you’re in.
Our Main Jacksonville Services
Jacksonville homeowners call us most often for three services. Each has its own dedicated Jacksonville page with pricing, details, and local FAQs.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Jacksonville
Lint is highly flammable, and a clogged dryer vent is the leading cause of dryer fires in single-family homes. In Jacksonville, humid air makes lint clump inside the vent pipe instead of blowing out the exterior hood, so blockages build faster than in drier climates. Homes with laundry rooms on interior walls – common in Ortega and San Jose – often have longer vent runs with more bends, which trap lint at every turn. Our Dryer Vent Cleaning in Jacksonville page covers pricing, how we clear long runs, and warning signs specific to Florida homes.
Air Duct Cleaning in Jacksonville
Full air duct cleaning means removing built-up dust, pollen, pet dander, and debris from the supply and return ductwork, registers, and the main trunk line. Jacksonville’s annual pollen load – live oak, pine, and ragweed – is heavy from February through May, which means ducts accumulate allergenic material quickly. We run a Rotobrush rotary brush system through the ducts to loosen deposits, then pull them out with a Nikro HEPA-rated negative air machine. Details and honest pricing are on our Air Duct Cleaning in Jacksonville page.
HVAC Cleaning in Jacksonville
HVAC cleaning goes beyond the ducts themselves and includes the blower motor housing, evaporator coil, drain pan, and other components inside the air handler. In Jacksonville’s mold-friendly humidity, the evaporator coil is a common trouble spot: it sits in the dark, wet, cool section of the system and grows biofilm that restricts airflow and pushes odors through the house. Our HVAC Cleaning in Jacksonville page explains what the full service includes and why coil cleaning matters in Florida’s climate.
