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 HVAC Cleaning Across Boulder City
HVAC cleaning in Boulder City typically runs $375 – $625 for a full system cleaning, and most jobs are done in a single visit. That includes the supply ducts, return ducts, air handler, blower motor, and evaporator coil. If you’re on Nevada Way, in the historic downtown grid, or up near the golf course, we know the ductwork in your home wasn’t built for the dust loads and temperature swings this desert town throws at it. Call (737) 727-2314 and a live person answers, 24/7. No voicemail loops, no callbacks tomorrow.
We’re Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning, part of the Relay Home Co. family founded in 2005. Our HVAC Cleaning crews serve Boulder City with written pricing before any work starts, before-and-after photo proof, and a 365-Day Done Right Promise on every job.
Why Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning Is Boulder City’s Preferred HVAC Cleaning Company
Omar Haddad and our Boulder City technicians have walked through enough mid-century ranches here to know the difference between a vent that needs a wipe-down and a system that needs real source removal. Homes off Avenue B and F Street often still run original sheet-metal trunk lines, and that’s not something a generic duct-cleaning franchise sees coming. We do.
We quote one flat price per system, agreed before we touch anything. Not per vent. Not per register. Not with an air-handler “surprise fee” tacked on once the van is parked in your driveway. The price you’re handed before work starts is the price on the final invoice.
Boulder City’s distance from Las Vegas doesn’t change how we show up. Scheduling is coordinated from the brand’s Las Vegas office, and crews serve Boulder City locally. You get a live, trackable arrival window, the technician’s name before they ring your bell, and a written guarantee on every repair. If anything we fix fails within 365 days, we return and correct it at no charge. That’s the 365-Day Done Right Promise, and it applies to every single booking.
AC Duct Cleaning in Boulder City
AC duct cleaning in Boulder City is the most requested service we run here, and for good reason. Summer temperatures push past 105 and your air conditioner runs for months without rest. Dust, pet hair, and fine desert particulate get pulled into the return-side ductwork and baked onto the evaporator coil and blower wheel. A standard AC duct cleaning in Boulder City runs $375 – $525 for a typical single-system home.
What We Actually Clean
We clean the supply ducts, return ducts, evaporator coil, blower motor, and air handler. We use Rotobrush agitation tools with negative-pressure extraction, meaning loosened debris is pulled straight into a HEPA-filtered vacuum, not pushed back into the air you’re breathing.
When Boulder City Homeowners Call Us
Most calls come in spring, right before cooling season kicks in, or late summer when airflow drops and the back bedrooms stop cooling. If you’re changing the return filter every few weeks and it’s still coated in gray dust, the problem is usually inside the ducts, not the filter.
Furnace Cleaning in Boulder City
Furnace cleaning in Boulder City is the service homeowners here forget until December, when the first cold snap hits and the heat smells like burnt dust. It matters here because Boulder City sits at higher elevation than the valley floor, so winter nights drop below freezing more often than people expect. A standard furnace cleaning in Boulder City runs $350 – $525 for a typical single-system home.
What the Job Covers
We clean the blower motor, heat exchanger surfaces, burner assembly, and the full supply and return duct runs. We also treat the coil with an antimicrobial coil treatment to break down the biofilm that builds up from months of condensation and dust.
Why It’s Worth Doing Before Winter
Furnace cleaning is not a “nice to have” in Boulder City. The first burn of the season releases whatever settled in the heat exchanger over summer. If the blower hasn’t been cleaned, it pushes all of that through your registers. A clean system smells like heat, not like a campfire.
Trusted Brands We Service in Boulder City
We service and clean equipment from every major manufacturer, and because Boulder City’s housing stock skews older, we keep a local parts inventory that covers the systems most common here. We routinely work on Trane, Carrier, Lennox, Rheem, Goodman, and York units in homes across the city. When a blower motor or coil needs replacement, we use Aprilaire and Guardsman filtration components, and our cleaning rigs run Rotobrush rotary brush systems and Nikro HEPA-rated vacuums. Professional-grade equipment, not a truck-mounted shop vac.
Common HVAC Cleaning Problems We See in Boulder City Homes
- Crusted evaporator coils from non-stop summer cooling. When the coil gets coated with dust and pet hair, the system runs longer cycles and your electric bill climbs. Boulder City Municipal Electric rates make an inefficient cooling system more expensive than the same problem in Henderson.
- Collapsed or crushed flex duct runs in attics. Decades of heat, and occasionally a careless contractor or pest, leaves supply runs kinked or collapsed. The back bedrooms go warm while the living room stays icy. A camera inspection finds this in minutes.
- Original sheet-metal return trunks that are undersized for modern equipment. Mid-century Boulder City homes were built for smaller, less powerful HVAC systems. When a modern high-SEER unit gets installed without upsizing the returns, static pressure rises, airflow drops, and the system works harder than it should.
- Wind-driven dust intrusion in spring. Boulder City gets hammered with wind out of the south and west in March and April. Even with a clean filter, fine dust gets pulled into the return plenum and coats the blower wheel. Clean the system before cooling season and you’ll breathe easier all summer.

FAQs About HVAC Cleaning in Boulder City
Every 3 to 5 years is honest for most Boulder City homes, though homes with pets, smokers, or heavy wind-driven dust may benefit every 2 to 3 years. If you’ve had construction or remodeling work done, clean the ducts immediately after. If nobody in the home has allergies or respiratory issues, and the system is running fine, you likely don’t need to rush. Call (737) 727-2314 and our team will tell you straight whether cleaning is warranted.
We charge one flat price per system, agreed before work starts. We never charge per vent or per register. In Boulder City’s older homes, a single system may have multiple return runs hidden in walls or attics. With a flat system price, there’s no surprise fee when a second return is “discovered” mid-job. Call (737) 727-2314 and you’ll get a written quote with no per-vent pricing.
Yes. Original sheet-metal trunk lines clean beautifully with the right approach. We use rotary brush agitation and HEPA-filtered negative-pressure extraction to remove decades of dust and construction debris without damaging the metal. In some cases, we recommend replacing crushed or undersized runs, and we’ll show you camera footage before making that recommendation. Call (737) 727-2314 to schedule an inspection.
It often helps significantly, but the answer depends on what’s causing the imbalance. We once worked on a 1962 ranch off Nevada Way where the back bedrooms never cooled evenly. A camera inspection showed a crushed metal return trunk and a collapsed 40-year-old flex run to the master bedroom. After cleaning and replacing the failed run, the temperature difference between the front and back of the house went from 9 degrees to under 2 degrees. If your imbalance is caused by dirty or obstructed ductwork, cleaning and source removal fixes it. If it’s a design problem, we’ll tell you that too. Call (737) 727-2314 for a diagnosis.
No. HVAC duct cleaning is a scheduled job, not an emergency service. We book by appointment so we can give you a trackable arrival window, the technician’s name in advance, and a written price before we arrive. Rushing the job doesn’t serve you or the quality of the work. Call (737) 727-2314 and we’ll get you on the schedule at the next available slot.
