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.

Why Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning Is Fort Myers Shores’s Preferred HVAC Cleaning Company
Fort Myers Shores homeowners call us because we show up when we say we will and quote one flat price per system before work begins. No per-vent pricing, no on-the-spot additions for the coil or blower after the van is already in the driveway. This matters more in Fort Myers Shores than almost anywhere else: the canal-fed humidity means the coil is nearly always the real problem, and that’s exactly where the bait-and-switch operators pad the bill.
Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed, and you’ll know the tech’s name before they ring the bell. As part of the Relay Home Co. family founded in 2005, we operate under The Relay Visibility Guarantee: 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 leads our team with a straightforward standard: total visibility from booking to final receipt.
Each booking is backed by the 365-Day Done Right Promise. If the work isn’t right within 365 days, we return and correct it at no charge. That guarantee applies to every job, not select ones.
Furnace Cleaning in Fort Myers Shores
Furnace cleaning in Fort Myers Shores is almost always part of a full HVAC system cleaning, because most homes here run a heat pump or electric furnace paired with a central air handler. The job means pulling the blower assembly, vacuuming the motor housing and fan blades, cleaning the heat exchanger or electric elements, and clearing the combustion area if the home has gas backup. In this river corridor, dust and dampness collect on furnace components during the months the heat runs only briefly, then get baked on when the AC dominates.
What Our Techs Do
We remove the blower wheel and brush out each blade with the Rotobrush system, then vacuum the housing with a Nikro HEPA unit so what we loosen doesn’t drift back through the registers. The heat exchanger gets inspected and cleaned. We finish with a system pressure and amp-draw check to confirm the blower is moving air properly.
What It Costs
Furnace cleaning as part of a whole-system service runs $425 to $780 in Fort Myers Shores, and that includes the coil, blower, supply ducts, return ducts, and air handler. Call (737) 727-2314 and we’ll give you a firm written number before you decide.
AC Vent Cleaning in Fort Myers Shores
AC vent cleaning in Fort Myers Shores means more than wiping the register covers. It’s source removal inside the supply and return duct runs, not a cosmetic wipe-down of the visible grilles. In canal-front homes where humidity rides high all year, the inner surfaces of the ducts hold moisture and dust together in a paste that ordinary vacuuming won’t pull free.
The Process
We first run a camera inspection down the main trunk and branch runs. If the system is genuinely clean, we’ll tell you so and recommend you spend the money elsewhere. If it’s dirty, we set up negative pressure with an Abatement Technologies containment unit, agitate the duct walls, and run the Rotobrush through each run while a Nikro HEPA vacuum captures debris at the source.
Honest Pricing
The entire home, all vents included, runs $425 to $780 depending on the number of systems and duct runs. You’ll see a written price before we start, and that number won’t change at the door. That’s the distinction between us and the coupon outfits in Fort Myers Shores that quote $99 and then “discover” the coil needs treatment for another $400.
Trusted Brands We Service in Fort Myers Shores

Carrier and Trane units dominate the older canal ranches, while newer builds off Buckingham Road and along State Road 31 trend toward Lennox and Rheem. We stock common coil cleaners, blower components, and Guardsman filtration products locally, so a duct cleaning doesn’t stall waiting on a part. Every HVAC Cleaning job includes a camera inspection we walk through with you before work starts, and photos after we finish.
Common HVAC Cleaning Problems We See in Fort Myers Shores Homes
- Microbial growth on evaporator coils. The moisture that never leaves canal-front air handlers feeds mold and mildew on coil surfaces. Homes within a few blocks of the river see this most often.
- Damp return duct liners. Older single-story ranches in Fort Myers Shores often have return plenums in garages or utility closets where humid outdoor air gets drawn in through gaps. The liner holds that moisture and develops a musty smell that spreads through the whole house.
- Dust-choked blower wheels. Coastal dust mixed with indoor humidity forms a coating on blower wheel blades that cuts airflow by 20 percent or more. The AC runs longer, the house stays humid, and the cycle feeds itself.
- Pet hair and dander packed in return ducts. Homes near the river attract pets, and those pets shed into return air. A single golden retriever in a 1,400-square-foot canal ranch can load a return duct with enough hair to reduce airflow noticeably inside a year.
Pricing for HVAC Cleaning in Fort Myers Shores, FL
A full HVAC cleaning for the typical Fort Myers Shores single-family home runs $425 to $780.

You’ll get one written price covering the entire system, coil included, blower included, every duct run included. No per-vent pricing, no add-ons when the tech reaches the coil. Need to know the exact number for your home? Call (737) 727-2314 and we’ll give you a firm quote free of charge.

FAQs About HVAC Cleaning in Fort Myers Shores
Most Fort Myers Shores homes built on canal lots or within a half-mile of the river need a full HVAC cleaning every 3 to 5 years, while homes farther inland often stretch to 5 to 7. The deciding factor is whether microbial growth or dust accumulation is actually present, and the only honest way to know is a camera inspection. We don’t recommend cleaning a system that doesn’t need it. Call (737) 727-2314 and we’ll inspect your ducts and show you the footage before recommending anything.
We charge one flat price per system, $425 to $780 for the complete job in Fort Myers Shores. That includes every vent, every duct run, the air handler, blower, and coil. Per-vent pricing is designed to confuse you and create add-on opportunities, so we don’t use it.
In Fort Myers Shores, that musty smell almost always traces to microbial growth on the evaporator coil or a damp return duct liner. The canal humidity keeps those surfaces damp for months at a time, which is exactly what mold and mildew need. A camera inspection will confirm the source, and a full cleaning with coil treatment resolves it. We’ll show you before-and-after photos of your own coil and ducts.
We schedule by appointment in Fort Myers Shores, and we’ll get you the earliest available slot when you call (737) 727-2314. Once your booking is in, you’ll get a live trackable arrival window through The Relay Standard, so you’ll know exactly when our tech reaches your street off Palm Beach Boulevard.
Yes. Every Fort Myers Shores job includes before-and-after photos of your own ducts and coil, plus a camera inspection you can watch as it happens. You’ll see what the inside of the system looked like before, and what it looks like when we finish. That’s the standard on every job, not an option.
