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.
Fast, Reliable Air Duct Cleaning Across Alpharetta
Most standard air duct cleanings in Alpharetta run between $450 and $850 for a typical single-system home, with two-system homes falling closer to $700 – $1,100. That’s the honest range, and you’ll get a written price before we touch a single register. Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning serves every Alpharetta neighborhood from Windward Parkway down to Haynes Bridge Road, and our crews know this city’s housing stock: 1990s brick colonials, mid-2000s craftsman builds, and the newer townhome clusters off Rucker Road. No per-vent pricing, no bait-and-switch add-ons. Just one flat price per system, agreed before work starts. Call (737) 727-2314 and a live person answers, day or night.
Why Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning Is Alpharetta’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
Alpharetta homeowners tell us the same thing every week: they’ve been quoted a low per-vent price over the phone, then watched the invoice double once the technician counted registers. We don’t operate that way. Every job we run in Alpharetta gets one flat price per system, handed to you in writing before a duct is opened. That price does not change at the door. Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and you’ll know their name before they arrive. We work with professional-grade equipment: Rotobrush rotary brush systems for agitation, Nikro HEPA vacuums for negative-pressure extraction (that means the loosened debris goes straight into the vacuum, not back into your living room), and Abatement Technologies containment units when a job calls for sealing off the work area.
Omar Haddad leads our team, and he holds every Alpharetta job to one standard: if it’s not done right within 365 days, we return and correct it at no charge. It’s called the 365-Day Done Right Promise, and it covers every booking without exception. Not a subset. Not fine print. Every job.
Commercial Air Duct Cleaning in Alpharetta
Commercial Air Duct Cleaning in Alpharetta means something different than what we see in a 3,000-square-foot home off Old Milton Parkway. Office buildings along Windward Parkway, retail spaces near North Point Mall, and medical suites off Haynes Bridge Road run longer trunk systems, higher static pressure, and many more registers than a residence. The job involves source removal from supply and return ducts, the air handler, and often multiple rooftop or split-system units. We quote commercial work the same way we quote residential: one flat price per system, written before we start. Depending on duct footprint and access, most Alpharetta commercial cleanings run $900 – $2,400 per system, with larger multi-unit buildings scoped by on-site walkthrough.
Offices and Medical Suites
Dust loads in Alpharetta offices off Windward Parkway build up year-round, but there’s a distinct spike during the summer when HVAC systems run hard against Georgia heat and humidity. We use camera inspection before and after to show building managers exactly what came out of their duct walls.
Restaurants and Retail
Retail spaces near Avalon and downtown Alpharetta deal with high foot traffic and frequent door cycling, which pushes fine dust and pollen deep into return ducts. Our commercial crews schedule after-hours work so your business stays open during cleaning.
Air Duct Cleaning Services in Alpharetta
Air Duct Cleaning Services in Alpharetta cover the full path air travels through your home: supply ducts pushing conditioned air out, return ducts pulling air back to the air handler, and the air handler itself. The stretch of Alpharetta along Windward Parkway mixes 1990s subdivisions with newer townhome and office construction off Haynes Bridge Road, so duct layouts and dust loads swing block to block. A two-story brick colonial with one oversized air handler needs a different approach than a 2018 townhome with a tight, multi-branch trunk system. That’s why every job here starts with a camera inspection of your actual ductwork, not a generic checklist.
Residential Supply and Return Cleaning
Supply ducts in older Alpharetta homes off Kimball Bridge Road often carry years of accumulated dust and construction debris, especially if the home was remodeled. Return ducts pull air back toward the filter, and when they’re dirty, everything downstream gets dirty faster. We clean both, then document it with before-and-after photos of your own ducts.

Full System Cleaning with Video Inspection
A full system cleaning in Alpharetta includes supply ducts, return ducts, the air handler, blower motor, and registers. We run a camera through after the job to confirm clean duct walls. If it’s not right, you’ll see it on camera, and our 365-Day Promise means we come back.

Trusted Brands We Service in Alpharetta
We service and clean systems built around Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Guardsman filtration products, along with air handlers and ductwork installed in every major Alpharetta subdivision from the 1990s onward. Our crews stock common filter sizes and access components for Alpharetta’s mix of older split systems and newer variable-speed units, so we don’t have to order parts across town and reschedule. Whether your system is a single-speed builder-grade unit off Rucker Road or a high-end variable-speed setup near the Country Club of the South, we know the duct layouts and blower access points. The equipment we run, including Rotobrush and Nikro units, is designed for aggressive agitation and true HEPA-level extraction, not a shop vac taped to a truck hose.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Alpharetta Homes
- Return ducts pulling in construction grit. Alpharetta has seen steady build-out around Haynes Bridge Road and Windward Parkway, and homes near active sites pull in fine construction dust through return registers. That grit settles in the air handler and blower motor, not just the ducts.
- Oversized air handlers in 1990s brick colonials. Older Alpharetta homes off Old Alabama Road were often built with single air handlers sized for larger square footage. They run longer cycles and accumulate dust loads faster than the tighter, multi-branch systems in newer townhomes.
- Per-vent pricing surprises. We hear this constantly from Alpharetta homeowners who’ve tried other companies. A low per-vent quote turns into a much larger invoice once the technician starts counting. We quote one flat price per system before work begins, period.
- No proof the job was done. Many Alpharetta residents have paid for duct cleaning and received nothing but a receipt. That’s why we photograph your own ducts before and after, and show you the camera footage of clean duct walls before we pack up.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Alpharetta
Every 3 to 5 years for most Alpharetta homes, though homes near active construction along Windward Parkway or Haynes Bridge Road may need it sooner. If you have pets, recent renovations, or someone with allergies, you may see benefit at the 2-to-3-year mark. We won’t sell you a cleaning you don’t need. If a camera inspection shows clean ducts, we’ll tell you that. Call (737) 727-2314 for an honest assessment.
One flat price per system, always. We don’t charge per vent, ever. The price you get before work starts is the price you pay when we finish. That’s non-negotiable and it applies to every Alpharetta job, residential and commercial alike.
No. A real duct cleaning involves agitation, not just vacuuming. We seal the work area, set up negative pressure so loosened debris goes into our HEPA vacuum rather than back into your home, agitate the duct walls with rotary brushes, source-remove debris from supply and return ducts and the air handler, and run HEPA filtration until a camera inspection shows clean walls. We then show you before-and-after photos of your own ducts. That’s the difference between cleaning and just moving dust around.
Yes. Commercial Air Duct Cleaning in Alpharetta covers offices, medical suites, restaurants, and retail spaces. We schedule after-hours work for businesses that need to stay open during the day. Scoping is done on-site, and every commercial system gets a written flat price before work starts. Call (737) 727-2314 to schedule a walkthrough.
No, and we won’t promise something we can’t deliver. Duct cleaning is a scheduled job that involves camera inspection, containment setup, source removal, and post-job photo documentation. Rushing it doesn’t serve you. What we do guarantee: a live trackable arrival time through The Relay Standard, a written price before work starts, and a job done right the first time, backed by our 365-Day Done Right Promise. Call (737) 727-2314 and a live person will help you book a time that works.
