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 Greenacres
An HVAC cleaning in Greenacres on a 1980s or 1990s tract home typically runs $425 – $680 for the full system when priced as one flat number per system, not per vent. That covers the supply and return ducts, the air handler, the blower motor, and before-and-after photographs of your own ductwork. If you’re seeing dust settle back on furniture within days of wiping it down, or the upstairs bedrooms off Jog Road never quite cool, the ductwork is usually the culprit. Call Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning at (737) 727-2314 for a written quote before any work begins.
Why Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning Is Greenacres’s Preferred HVAC Cleaning Company
We’ve worked enough homes here to know exactly how the original 1980s and 1990s flexible duct runs behave after 30-plus years of South Florida humidity. That specific knowledge means we arrive at a Greenacres job already knowing what we’re likely to find: collapsed flex branches, caked evaporator coils, and blower motors that have been circulating the same ridge-country dust since the first Bush administration. Our techs are background-checked, uniformed, and arrive with their name sent to your phone before they knock. Omar Haddad set the standard for this crew: one written price before a single register is opened, no exceptions. We carry professional-grade Rotobrush agitation systems and Nikro HEPA filtration vacuums because a truck-mounted shop vac cannot do this job. Homeowners across Greenacres keep calling us back because the price on the quote is the price on the invoice, and the photos prove the work happened.
AC Duct Cleaning in Greenacres
AC Duct Cleaning in Greenacres means removing the accumulated film from inside your supply and return ducts, not just waving a brush at the vent covers. In these older western tracts, the original flexible ducts have off-gassed chemicals for three decades while pulling in dust from the coastal ridge. The result is a greasy, gray coating inside the runs that a standard vent-vacuum never touches. For a typical Greenacres single-story, AC duct cleaning runs $395 – $565 as a flat per-system price. A two-story with 18-plus registers runs $520 – $680. That number is agreed on the phone or in writing before our crew pulls into your driveway.
Full Source Removal, Not a Vent Vacuum
We run negative-pressure extraction, which means the loosened debris goes straight into the HEPA-filtered vacuum instead of back into your living room. Agitation tools break the film off the duct walls, the vacuum pulls it out, and we photograph the inside of your ducts before and after. If the debris isn’t out, the photos show it, and you don’t pay until it is.
Air Handler and Blower Included
Most Greenacres AC systems hide the worst buildup in the air handler and blower motor, not the visible vents. We clean both by hand on every job, not as an add-on. Skipping this step is why so many homeowners pay for a “duct cleaning” and notice zero difference in air quality or cooling performance.
Furnace Cleaning in Greenacres
Furnace Cleaning in Greenacres matters even though Florida furnaces run fewer months than northern units, because the humidity lets dust cake onto the heat exchanger and blower during the long off-season. When that thin film burns off on the first cool snap, the smell is unmistakable. A furnace cleaning on a standard Greenacres split system runs $295 – $410 when bundled with the duct work. On its own, expect $340 – $460 depending on access and how much biological growth the off-season left behind.
Heat Exchanger and Blower Wheel
We remove the blower wheel, clean each blade by hand, and inspect the heat exchanger for cracks before anything goes back together. In older Greenacres furnaces, dust and humidity create a paste that throws the blower wheel off balance. That’s the hum you hear through the walls on cold mornings.
Coil Treatment
After the mechanical cleaning, we apply an EPA-registered coil treatment to slow mold and mildew regrowth on the evaporator coil. South Florida’s dew point is unforgiving, and untreated coils in Greenacres homes regrow biological film within a season. The treatment adds $75 – $120 and is optional, though honestly, in this climate it’s the difference between a one-year and a three-year result.
Trusted Brands We Service in Greenacres
We service every major system found in Greenacres homes: Carrier, Trane, Rheem, Goodman, Lennox, and York among them. For filtration and air quality, we stock and install Aprilaire media filters and Guardsman UV systems, and we run Abatement Technologies containment units on jobs where the ductwork has visible mold growth. Stocking common filters and parts locally means we finish most Greenacres jobs in a single visit instead of ordering a part and returning a week later. If your system takes something unusual, we’ll tell you the lead time before we schedule, not after we’ve already opened the air handler.
Common HVAC Cleaning Problems We See in Greenacres Homes
- Collapsed flexible branch runs. The original 1989-era flex ducts off Jog Road and Greenacres Community Park have often detached or kinked where they meet the trunk, cutting airflow to upstairs bedrooms. A camera inspection finds it; a vent-vacuum never would.
- Builder-coin filters left in place. Many original Greenacres systems had zero filter cabinet, just a loose piece of fiberglass wedged into the return. Thirty years later, the coil is caked and the blower wheel is throwing dust off balance.
- Per-vent pricing bait. We hear this constantly: a Greenacres homeowner called for a $49 “whole house special” and the technician arrived, counted 22 registers, and the quote became $1,100 before the vacuum turned on. Our price is per system, one flat number, written down before work starts.
- Biological growth in the air handler. The humidity in western Palm Beach County means the air handler is often the dampest part of the house. We see more mold and mildew there than in the ducts themselves, especially in homes near the canals and lakes around Greenacres.
Pricing for HVAC Cleaning in Greenacres, FL
Here’s the straight answer. A full HVAC cleaning on a typical Greenacres single-story home runs $425 – $565. A two-story runs $520 – $680. That’s one flat price per system, written and agreed before anyone opens a register. You’ll never hear a per-vent price from us because the real job has nothing to do with how many registers you have. What affects cost: the number of air handlers (a true two-zone home has two), the length of the duct runs, and whether there’s visible mold requiring containment. If you want a straight number for your specific system, call (737) 727-2314 and we’ll give you one. It takes about ten minutes and the estimate is free.

FAQs About HVAC Cleaning in Greenacres
Every 4 to 6 years for most Greenacres homes, unless you have shedding pets, recent renovations, or a smoker in the house, which pushes it to every 2 to 3. Homes built in the 1980s and 1990s that have never had the ducts cleaned should do it once now, regardless of the calendar. The honest answer from Omar Haddad: if you can mark the date of your last cleaning from memory, it’s either time or you’re one of the few who didn’t need it. Call (737) 727-2314 and we’ll tell you straight whether your ducts look like they need work.
A per-vent price lets a technician quote you $29 over the phone and then count 22 registers in a Greenacres two-story and hand you a $640 invoice before the vacuum starts. A flat per-system price means the number we agree on is the number you pay, whether you have 10 registers or 24. That’s how we work: one price for the whole system, written down before work begins. Call (737) 727-2314 for an exact quote on yours.
A real HVAC cleaning includes agitation of the supply and return ducts under negative pressure, hand-cleaning the air handler and blower motor, and before-and-after photographs of your own ducts. We use Rotobrush agitation tools and Nikro HEPA filtration vacuums, not a truck-mounted shop vac at the curb. If the air handler doesn’t get touched, the job isn’t done. Call (737) 727-2314 and we’ll walk you through exactly what your system needs.
We schedule Greenacres jobs on a first-available basis, and during our slower months we can often slot a job in within 24 to 48 hours. Same-day is not something we promise, because a proper HVAC cleaning takes four to six hours on an older Greenacres home. What we do promise: a live trackable arrival window, a background-checked tech whose name you get before they knock, and a written price before any work starts. Call (737) 727-2314 to see our next available slot.
We run Rotobrush rotary brush systems for agitation, Nikro HEPA vacuums for negative-pressure extraction, and Abatement Technologies containment units when mold is present. For filtration, we carry Aprilaire and Guardsman products. These are professional-grade tools, not rented hardware-store equipment, and that’s why the job actually gets the debris out. Call (737) 727-2314 for a free estimate and a straight answer on what your system needs.
