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.

HVAC cleaning in Lantana, FL typically costs between $385 and $725 for a complete system cleaning, with most single-family homes landing right around $495.

Call (737) 727-2314 and a live person answers, day or night, no voicemail loops.
Lantana sits right on the Intracoastal with some of the highest year-round humidity in Palm Beach County, which means duct systems here collect a sticky film of moisture-bound dust and pollen that dry inland cities like Wellington simply don’t see. That constant dampness changes how we approach every job: we inspect the air handler coil for microbial growth on nearly every Lantana service call because the conditions here practically invite it. Our HVAC Cleaning process is built around that reality, not a one-size-fits-all script from a franchise playbook.
Why Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning Is Lantana’s Preferred HVAC Cleaning Company
Lantana homeowners call us because they know exactly what to expect before the technician arrives. Our Air Duct Cleaning - Lantana service is part of the Relay Home Co. family, founded in 2005, and every booking operates under The Relay Visibility Guarantee: a live trackable arrival time, before-and-after photo documentation, and a digital invoice payable by link. No other duct cleaner serving Lantana offers that level of transparency as a standard, not an upsell.
Omar Haddad leads our team, and every technician who arrives at a Lantana home is background-checked, uniformed, and introduced by name before the door opens. We run professional-grade equipment: Rotobrush rotary brush systems, Nikro HEPA-rated vacuums, and Abatement Technologies containment units when a job calls for source removal at the air handler. That matters in Lantana because the humidity here means a basic shop-vac-and-blower job leaves the worst contamination behind.
We serve the whole town, from the neighborhoods along Hypoluxo Road to the communities near the Lantana Nature Preserve and the condos off East Ocean Avenue. Crews dispatch from our South FL Metro office and reach Lantana residents on a scheduled, trackable arrival window, usually within a day or two of booking. You’ll know when we’re coming, who’s coming, and what it costs. Before the work starts.
Furnace Cleaning in Lantana
Furnace cleaning in Lantana is less about soot buildup (we’re not a cold-climate market) and more about the accumulated dust, pet dander, and humidity-fed grime that settles into the blower, heat exchanger, and return plenum during the months your system runs on cooling only. Homes with a gas furnace or heat strip still circulate air through the same ductwork year-round, which means everything the AC pulls in during summer sits in the system and bakes on when the heat kicks on during those brief January cold snaps.
Blower and Heat Exchanger Service
We remove the blower wheel, clean each vane with a rotary brush, and document the before-and-after. The heat exchanger gets a gentle vacuum and visual inspection for cracks or corrosion, which matters in Lantana’s humid air because moisture accelerates metal fatigue on older units.
What It Costs in Lantana
Standalone furnace cleaning runs $185 to $320. When bundled with full duct cleaning, it’s included in the flat system price, not tacked on as a surprise line item. Most Lantana homes with gas heat choose the bundle.
AC Vent Cleaning in Lantana
AC vent cleaning in Lantana is where most of the visible grime lives: supply registers on the ceiling, return grilles on the hallway wall, and the flex ducts running through your attic. In Lantana’s salt-humid air, vent covers and the first few feet of duct behind them collect a dark, tacky residue that’s part dust, part condensed moisture, and part whatever the AC has been pulling in from outside.
Supply and Return Vent Deep Clean
We remove each register, hand-wash the grille, and run a negative-pressure extraction tool through the duct from the vent opening back toward the main trunk. Negative-pressure extraction means loosened debris goes straight into the HEPA-filtered vacuum at the truck rather than back into your living room.
What It Costs in Lantana
A vent-focused cleaning for a typical Lantana home with 10 to 14 registers runs $240 to $390 as a standalone service. If you’re already getting full HVAC Cleaning in Lantana, vent cleaning is part of the flat per-system price. We never charge per vent. That’s the kind of billing trick this market sees too often, and it’s how a $99 coupon becomes a $700 invoice once the technician starts counting openings.
Trusted Brands We Service in Lantana
We work on all major residential systems: Carrier, Trane, Rheem, Goodman, Lennox, York, American Standard, and Bryant. We also carry Guardsman filtration products and Aprilaire filters for Lantana homeowners upgrading from basic fiberglass to pleated media or whole-home filtration. Because we stock common coil treatments and antimicrobial products, most our HVAC Cleaning in Lantana jobs are completed in a single visit without waiting on parts to ship from a distributor.
Common HVAC Cleaning Problems We See in Lantana Homes
- Humidity-fed coil growth. The evaporator coil in an Intracoastal-adjacent home sits wet for months at a time. In Lantana, we find microbial growth on the coil far more often than in inland Palm Beach County, and it’s the single biggest reason a cleaning job needs coil treatment, not just duct vacuuming.
- Subcontractor-looking “cleanings” that ignored the air handler. Many Lantana homes have had a previous cleaning where the crew vacuumed visible registers and skipped the air handler entirely. That leaves the wettest, most contaminated part of the system untouched. We see the evidence in our before photos.
- Restrictive flex ducts behind the return grille. On a call off Hypoluxo Road near the Lantana Nature Preserve, our tech pulled a return grille and found the blower motor caked in a matted, humid dust layer that was choking airflow to half the rooms. We ran a Rotobrush agitation tool through the supply and return ducts under negative pressure with HEPA filtration at the truck, then wet-wiped the air handler cabinet and documented the before-and-after with our camera inspection photos. The homeowner said the back bedrooms finally cooled the way they did when the house was new.
- Per-vent pricing runarounds. Lantana is full of older homes with a dozen or more registers. Companies that charge per vent turn that into a padded invoice. One flat price per system, agreed before work starts, is the only way we bill.

FAQs About HVAC Cleaning in Lantana
Every four to six years for a typical Lantana home, but the Intracoastal humidity compresses that window when we find visible growth on the coil or blower.
