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 Murphy
HVAC Cleaning in Murphy, TX typically costs between $425 and $1,200 per system, depending on the number of supply and return ducts, the condition of the evaporator coil, and whether your home has one or two systems. Most Murphy homes built in the 1990s and 2000s have one to two systems, and the work usually takes three to five hours from setup to final photo documentation. We’re the HVAC Cleaning team at Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning, part of the Relay Home Co. family, and we serve Murphy with a straight answer every time: one flat price per system, agreed before we start, with before-and-after photos of your own ducts. Call (737) 727-2314 and you’ll reach a live person, not a voicemail tree.
Why Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning Is Murphy’s Preferred HVAC Cleaning Company
Murphy homeowners deal with a specific problem: fine Sheetrock dust from nearby new construction south of FM 544 drifting into flex duct runs in unconditioned attics. We see it constantly in Maxwell Creek, Rolling Ridge, and the neighborhoods off Murphy Road and McCreary Road. That dust sits in supply and return ducts, coats evaporator coils, and forces air handlers to work harder than they should. When we arrive in Murphy, we know what we’re looking for before we open the first access panel. That local familiarity matters when you’re paying for a clean that should actually hold.
Every job in Murphy is backed by the 365-Day Done Right Promise. If the work isn’t right within 365 days, we come back and correct it at no charge. That’s not a selective offer. It applies to every booking without exception. Omar Haddad leads our team, and he holds every Murphy job to the Relay Standard: a live trackable arrival window, before-and-after photo documentation, and a digital invoice you can pay from a link. You’ll know your technician’s name before they knock, and they’ll be in uniform with professional-grade equipment from Rotobrush, Nikro, and Abatement Technologies. Written price before any work starts. Always.
Evaporator Coil Cleaning in Murphy
Evaporator Coil Cleaning in Murphy is the single highest-impact service we perform on HVAC systems here, because Murphy’s housing stock sits close enough to active construction that coil fouling happens faster than in older, settled cities. A typical evaporator coil cleaning in Murphy runs $180 to $340 when bundled as part of a full system clean, and $250 to $450 as a standalone service depending on coil depth and accessibility. The job involves removing the air handler access panel, assessing the coil’s condition, applying a non-acidic coil cleaner, and using agitation tools to break up the felt-like mat of dust, pet hair, and construction debris that builds on the fins.
What We Actually Do
We don’t spray a coil with a garden hose and call it done. We set up negative pressure containment, clean the coil with agitation tools and coil-safe chemistry, and check the blower motor amp draw before and after. A clean coil should drop blower motor amperage, which tells us the system is moving air more efficiently. If the coil is heavily fouled, we photograph it before we start and show you the after image on the same visit.
How We Avoid Coil Damage
Evaporator coils in Murphy homes use thin aluminum fins that bend easily. A rushed cleaning with the wrong pressure or angle will fold those fins over and reduce airflow permanently. We work with tools designed for coil cleaning, not improvised brushes, and we take our time on the fins. If your coil is in an attic air handler or a closet unit with tight access, we’ll still clean it properly. We never skip the coil because it’s inconvenient to reach.
AC Duct Cleaning in Murphy
AC Duct Cleaning in Murphy should focus on source removal of construction dust from supply and return ducts, not a quick vacuum pass that leaves loose debris to recontaminate the system within weeks. A full AC duct cleaning for a single system in Murphy typically runs $425 to $850. Two system homes range from $800 to $1,200. You get one flat price per system before we start. No per-vent math. The price covers the supply and return runs, the main trunk line, and the register openings, with before-and-after photo proof of each section.
Source Removal, Not Surface Cleaning
Most Murphy homes have flex duct runs in unconditioned attics. That ductwork collects dust at the register boots and along the interior liner. A real cleaning agitates the duct walls and pulls loosened debris into a HEPA-filtered vacuum under negative pressure. That’s the Nikro vacuum system doing the heavy lifting. Without negative pressure, the agitation just pushes dust deeper into the system. We do it properly or not at all.
Camera Documentation of Your Own Ducts
You don’t have to take our word for it. We run a camera into your supply and return ducts before cleaning starts and after the job is done. You’ll see the photos on your phone, same day, email or text. If a section didn’t come clean, we’ll tell you why and address it before we pack up. No other company serving Murphy hands over that level of proof as standard.

Common HVAC Cleaning Problems We See in Murphy Homes
- Sheetrock dust from new construction near FM 544. Murphy has expanded steadily, and fine drywall dust travels surprisingly far from active build sites. It settles into uncapped register openings, attic ductwork, and air handler cabinets. Once it’s in the system, it recirculates every time your AC runs.
- Quoting per-vent prices that balloon into surprise totals. Murphy’s mix of one and two system homes makes per-vent pricing a trap. If a company quotes $39 per vent and your house has 18 supply runs, you’re suddenly staring at a $700 job framed as a $39 deal. We quote one flat price per system, in writing, before any tools come off the truck.
- Skipping negative pressure and source removal. A technician who runs a shop vac over your register without agitating the duct walls or pulling the loosened debris out under negative pressure isn’t cleaning anything. The dust remains inside and redistributes within a month. In Murphy, with construction dust constantly present, half-measures fail fast.
- Promising same-day service during peak season and rushing the coil. Rushing an evaporator coil cleaning means leaving the access panel loose, not cleaning the fins fully, or bending them entirely. We schedule realistically. Murphy runs hot from May through September, and we’d rather set an honest appointment than cram too many jobs into one day and cut corners on a coil that took years to foul.

FAQs About HVAC Cleaning in Murphy
A Murphy home with no active renovation, no pets, and no smokers typically needs HVAC Cleaning every 3 to 5 years. A home within a mile of new construction south of FM 544, or with multiple pets, may need it every 2 to 3 years. You’ll know it’s time when you see dust at the register openings, when the air handler sounds strained, or when your energy bill creeps up without a clear cause. Call (737) 727-2314 and we’ll help you decide based on your actual conditions, not a calendar.
One flat price per system, agreed before we start. No per-vent math. No surprise total. If your Murphy home has one system, you pay one price for the full clean, regardless of whether you have 10 supply runs or 18. If you have two systems, you’ll see both prices as separate line items and choose which work you want done. Estimates are free.
Source removal means physically detaching debris from the duct walls and pulling it out of the system under negative pressure, not just vacuuming what’s visible at the register. In Murphy, where Sheetrock dust from nearby construction works its way into flex ducts and air handlers, source removal is the difference between a clean that lasts years and a clean that fails in a month. Without removing the source material, remaining dust recontaminates the system after the first few cooling cycles.
Yes. Every full HVAC Cleaning in Murphy includes evaporator coil cleaning and blower motor cleaning as part of the flat per-system price. If the blower wheel needs removal for deep cleaning, we’ll tell you the exact added cost before we proceed. The coil and blower are where the dust impact shows most clearly, and skipping them makes the ductwork cleaning pointless.
Yes. Before-and-after photos of your own ducts and air handler are standard on every Murphy HVAC Cleaning, not an upsell. You’ll receive them by text or email before we leave the property. If a section didn’t come clean, you’ll see it in the photos and we’ll address it before the job closes. That’s part of the Relay Standard on every booking, along with a live trackable arrival window and a digital invoice payable by link.
