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 Farragut, TN
Air duct cleaning in Farragut, TN typically runs $475 to $1,175 for a standard single-system home, and the job usually takes four to six hours. We’re Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning, part of the Relay Home Co. family founded in 2005. What makes Farragut work different is the combination of humid East Tennessee summers, mature tree cover, and a housing stock dominated by sprawling single-family homes with long duct runs. If you’re on home to compare options, give us a call at (737) 727-2314 and we’ll give you a real number before you commit.
Why Farragut Homes Are Different
Farragut’s housing runs large. We’re talking 3,000 to 5,000 square foot homes across neighborhoods like Village Green, Fox Den, and Anchorage, and those long duct runs from basement or attic mechanical rooms to far bedrooms mean more surface area collecting dust, pet hair, and the fine clay silt that blows in from nearby construction. East Tennessee humidity pushes moisture through the system, which causes that debris to cake onto duct walls rather than pass through. A duct system that would be mildly dusty in a drier climate arrives here with a stubborn coating that needs a real rotary brush, not a shop-vac on a hose. Farragut also has a high concentration of homes built between 1990 and 2010, which means many are on their original flex duct and original returns. Flex duct that old sags, pinches, and develops small tears that pull unfiltered attic air straight into the living space. Homeowners often call us because one room never seems to cool, and the issue turns out to be a collapsed run or a return sucking fiberglass insulation, not a dirty coil. Working in Farragut means checking the duct itself, not just what’s inside it.
Our Main Farragut Services
Farragut homeowners call us about three jobs, each with its own dedicated page and its own pricing details. Here’s what each one involves in Farragut specifically.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Farragut
Farragut laundry rooms are often on the second floor or centrally located, which means dryer vent runs stretch twelve to twenty feet before they exit the house. Long runs trap lint in the middle, not just at the opening, and that’s where the fire risk sits. We clean the full run with a rotary brush and a Nikro HEPA vacuum pulling negative pressure at the exit point, then verify airflow at the termination. Full details are on the Dryer Vent Cleaning in Farragut page.
Air Duct Cleaning in Farragut
This is the full-system cleaning: supply and return ducts, the air handler or furnace cabinet, the blower, and the coils when accessible. In Farragut homes with finished basements and cathedral ceilings, return drops are often encased in drywall chases, which means precision access cuts and reseal work that most budget cleaners skip. We run a Rotobrush rotary brush system paired with a Nikro HEPA vacuum so loosened debris is extracted under negative pressure, not blown into your living room. See the Air Duct Cleaning in Farragut page for pricing and scope.
HVAC Cleaning in Farragut
HVAC cleaning covers the mechanical side: blower wheel, evaporator coil, drain pan, housing, and the immediate supply and return plenums. Farragut’s clay-heavy soil means construction around the area puts fine dust into the air, and that dust settles directly onto the evaporator coil, especially during summer when the system runs for months. A fouled coil in a Farragut home reduces cooling capacity and pushes energy bills up during July and August. Details are on the HVAC Cleaning in Farragut page.

What pushes price up in Farragut is square footage, ceiling height, and access. A 4,500 square foot two-system home in Fox Den with attic mechanicals takes longer and costs more than a 2,200 square foot ranch in Farragut proper. Whatever the number, it’s in writing before we touch a single duct, and it doesn’t change at the door.
