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 Hunters Creek
HVAC cleaning in Hunters Creek, FL typically costs $350 – $650 for a complete system cleaning in a villa or townhome, and the job usually takes 3 – 5 hours from setup to final photo documentation. We’re the Air Duct Cleaning - Hunters Creek specialists of the Relay Home Co. family, and our crews know Hunters Creek’s floorplans, its attached-home duct layouts, and the humidity patterns that coat coils here faster than most homeowners realize. If your air handler is in a second-floor closet and your vents haven’t been professionally cleaned since you bought the place, call (737) 727-2314 and Omar Haddad or our team will give you a straight answer and a written price before any work begins.
Why Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning Is Hunters Creek’s Preferred HVAC Cleaning Company
Hunters Creek homeowners don’t have time for vague estimates or techs who count registers like a tip jar. We operate differently. Technicians arrive background-checked and in uniform, you know their name before they ring the bell, and every job starts with a written price handed to you before a single duct is touched. That price does not change at the door.
Our HVAC Cleaning team runs professional-grade equipment: Rotobrush rotary brush systems for agitation, Nikro HEPA vacuums for negative-pressure extraction, and Abatement Technologies containment units so loosened debris goes into the vacuum, not back into your living room. We don’t do shop-vac shortcuts.
And because we’re part of the Relay Home Co. family (founded 2005), every booking is held to The Relay Visibility Guarantee: a live trackable arrival window, before-and-after photo documentation of your own ducts, and a digital invoice you can pay from your phone. Every repair carries a written guarantee, and if a repair fails, we return for a free second visit. The 365-Day Done Right Promise covers the full year, on every job, no exceptions.
Omar Haddad leads the team with one standard: if the work isn’t right within 365 days, we come back and correct it at no charge. That’s the whole promise.
Furnace Cleaning in Hunters Creek
Furnace cleaning in Hunters Creek means more than wiping the cabinet. In this housing stock, the furnace or air handler is frequently tucked into a second-floor closet or a tight hall alcove, which means heat exchangers and blower motors collect dust faster than they would in a detached home with a basement or garage bay. A typical furnace cleaning here runs $120 – $250 as part of a full-system job and includes blower motor cleaning, heat exchanger inspection, and coil treatment where needed.
Heat Exchanger and Blower Care
We inspect the heat exchanger for cracks or surface corrosion before any cleaning begins. That’s a safety issue, not a cosmetic one. A coated blower motor strains to move air, which raises your cooling bill in Hunters Creek’s long summers. We clean it, not just vacuum around it.
Coil Treatment for Humidity Control
Hunters Creek’s wet season runs from June through September, and that humidity condenses on cold coils constantly. We clean evaporator coils and apply a coil treatment to slow microbial growth and help drainage. If your drain pan is sludgy, the coil treatment alone won’t fix it, so we clear the pan and the line during the same visit.
AC Vent Cleaning in Hunters Creek
AC vent cleaning in Hunters Creek is about what’s traveling through your air, not just what you see on the register face. Most villas and townhomes here have shorter duct runs than detached houses, which means a big visual dust layer on a vent cover often signals a return pulling from a dusty closet or an air handler cabinet packed with construction debris, not necessarily miles of filthy ductwork. A full AC vent and duct cleaning here runs $350 – $650 per system, one flat price, no per-vent charges.
Return and Supply Duct Cleaning
We remove return grilles, inspect the cavity, and run a camera before we start. We then set up negative pressure to contain the dust, agitate branch runs with a Rotobrush whip, and HEPA-vacuum the supply and return ducts. You get before-and-after photographs of your ducts, texted or emailed before we leave.
Air Handler Cabinet and Blower Cleaning
The air handler cabinet is where we find the worst buildup in Hunters Creek. Drywall dust from remodels, fiberglass from insulation, and years of hair and skin cells collect there. We HEPA-vacuum the cabinet interior, clean the blower wheel and motor, and replace your filter before reinstalling everything.
Trusted Brands We Service in Hunters Creek
We work on all major HVAC brands found in Hunters Creek homes, including Carrier, Trane, Rheem, Goodman, and Lennox. We don’t push brand-specific parts as upsells; we clean and treat what you already have. Where filtration matters, we stock and install Aprilaire, Honeywell, and Guardsman filters, and we keep common coil treatment and pan treatment products on the truck for fast turnaround in Hunters Creek. If your system is still under manufacturer warranty, cleaning it properly with documented before-and-after photos is the best way to protect that coverage. For full-service air duct and HVAC work in Hunters Creek, our HVAC Cleaning in Hunters Creek team can help.
Common HVAC Cleaning Problems We See in Hunters Creek Homes
- Second-floor air handler closets packed with construction dust. Homes built during Hunters Creek’s 1990s and early 2000s boom often have air handlers in upstairs closets that were never sealed against drywall dust. We open these up and routinely find the blower motor caked in powder.
- Returns pulling from dusty closets. In attached villas and townhomes, return cavities sometimes share wall space with hot water heater closets or storage cubbies. The return grille looks fine, but it’s inhaling dust from inside the wall cavity every time the system cycles.
- Short duct runs with heavy blower buildup. Many Hunters Creek townhomes have fewer than 10 total registers and under 60 feet of trunk line. The ducts aren’t the problem; the blower motor and evaporator coil are. We clean what’s actually dirty and tell you when more aggressive work isn’t warranted.
- Mold growth on coils during the wet season. Air conditioners in Hunters Creek run nearly year-round, and from June through October the humidity is relentless. Evaporator coils stay wet for weeks, which invites microbial growth that a filter can’t stop. Coil cleaning and treatment is the fix.
Pricing for HVAC Cleaning in Hunters Creek, FL
One flat price per system, agreed in writing before we start. No per-vent pricing, no bait-and-switch, no surprise line items when the van is out front.
- Full HVAC cleaning in a Hunters Creek villa or townhome: $350 – $650 (whole system: ducts, air handler, blower motor, coil)

What changes the final number: the size of your system (a 2-ton unit costs less to clean than a 5-ton), how accessible the air handler is, and whether we find significant mold or debris that requires deeper remediation. You’ll see the total before we start, and it will not change unless you approve additional work in writing first. Call (737) 727-2314 for a free estimate.

The Reality of Flat Per-System Pricing in Hunters Creek
Here’s what most people don’t realize about Hunters Creek’s housing stock. It’s dominated by attached villas and townhomes with short, shared or tightly routed duct runs, and air handlers are usually in second-floor closets. That means most systems here have less duct volume than a typical detached house. A company that charges per vent is selling you an incentive: the tech gets paid to count registers, not to do source removal on the air handler and blower motor. The air handler stays coated, the blower motor stays caked, and you paid for a register count.
That’s why we quote one flat price per system. You know the total before we arrive. You see photographs of the work afterward. And if you don’t need the whole system cleaned, we’ll tell you that plainly. In Hunters Creek, a lot of homes have short runs and a dirty blower motor. We clean the blower motor, the coil, and the cabinet. We don’t sell you duct cleaning you don’t need.
What a Real HVAC Cleaning Looks Like in Hunters Creek
In the Villas of Hunters Creek, our tech pulled the return grille off a 2003-built townhome and found the air handler closet packed with drywall dust and fiberglass from a recent bathroom remodel. We set up negative pressure, ran a camera inspection down the supply and return ducts, used agitation tools and a Rotobrush whip on the branch runs, then HEPA-vacuumed the air handler cabinet and cleaned the blower motor before replacing the filter. We took before-and-after photographs of the homeowner’s own ducts and texted them the same afternoon.
That’s the standard. Not a generic per-vent pitch. The real process, documented on your system, with an honest answer about what needed cleaning and what didn’t.

FAQs About HVAC Cleaning in Hunters Creek
Most Hunters Creek townhomes with one system take 3 – 5 hours from setup to final photo documentation. Homes with multiple systems, heavy coil buildup, or inaccessible air handlers can take longer. We give you a time range when you book, and we text you before we arrive. Call (737) 727-2314 to schedule.
No. We quote one flat price per system before any work starts, and it does not change at the door. Per-vent pricing rewards a tech for counting registers instead of actually cleaning the air handler, blower motor, and coil, which are where Hunters Creek’s real buildup lives. We charge per system, not per vent.
For most Hunters Creek homes, every 3 – 5 years is a reasonable interval, and sooner if you’ve had a remodel, you have pets, or you’ve never cleaned the system since buying the home. If your ducts are short and your blower motor is clean, you may not need a full duct cleaning at all. We’ll inspect and tell you the truth. Call (737) 727-2314 for an honest assessment.
Yes. Every job includes before-and-after photographs of your own ducts, air handler cabinet, and blower motor, texted or emailed to you the same afternoon we finish.
