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 Amesbury Town

We’re Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning, part of the Relay Home Co. family, and our Air Duct Cleaning crews work throughout Amesbury Town with background-checked, uniformed technicians running Rotobrush rotary brush systems and Nikro HEPA vacuums.

Why Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning Is Amesbury Town’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
We built our reputation in Amesbury Town on one simple promise: a written price handed to you before a single register is opened. That price does not change at the door, and it covers the full system, not a per-vent tally that creeps upward. Every booking lives under the 365-Day Done Right Promise, which means if the work isn’t right within a full year, we return and correct it at no charge. No fine print, no select-job exceptions.
We also know that Amesbury Town’s housing stock demands more than a truck-mounted shop vac. Homes here mix 18th- and 19th-century mill-era construction with later suburban builds, often on the same street. So our crews arrive equipped for both: agitation tools and negative-pressure extraction for original galvanized trunks, and camera inspection for newer flex runs in tight chases. Led by Omar Haddad, our team treats every job as its own scope, because in this town, it usually is.
Response time to Amesbury Town is typically next-day for scheduled cleanings. We don’t promise same-day service because we’d rather schedule honestly than rush a job. What we do promise is a live trackable arrival window through The Relay Standard, plus before-and-after photos of your own ducts, delivered digitally before you pay a cent.
Commercial Air Duct Cleaning in Amesbury Town
Commercial Air Duct Cleaning in Amesbury Town runs $900 – $2,400 for most retail, office, and light industrial spaces, depending on square footage, unit count, and duct configuration. The first sentence you heard was the price range, because that’s what actually matters when you’re budgeting a building. The job involves source removal, not surface wiping: we access the main trunk lines, agitate debris loose with a Rotobrush system, and pull everything into a Nikro HEPA-filtered negative-pressure vacuum so nothing re-enters your occupied space.
One flat per-system price covers the full scope, whether your building has a single rooftop unit serving an open floor plan, or a split of supply and return trunks running through a dropped ceiling. That price is handed to you in writing before work starts, and it does not change at the door. No per-vent math, no surprise add-ons discovered once the ladder goes up.
Office and Retail Spaces
In Amesbury Town’s converted mill buildings along the Powow River, we regularly find decades of fine particulate caked onto blower motors and inside return plenums. Commercial systems often run longer hours than residential ones, which means the debris load concentrates faster. Before-and-after photos of the blower cabinet are part of every commercial job, so you see exactly what was removed.
Building Code and Access Considerations
Older commercial spaces in Amesbury Town often have duct runs that were modified multiple times over the decades. We document every access point we open and seal each one properly when finished. If a run needs a temporary access cut, that’s scoped in writing before the saw ever comes out.
Air Duct Cleaning Services in Amesbury Town
Air Duct Cleaning Services in Amesbury Town cover the full range: residential supply and return duct cleaning, full system cleaning, and video inspection. A standard single-system home cleaning runs $450 – $850, while larger two-system homes with separate heating and cooling trunks typically land between $850 – $1,200. The price is per system, agreed in writing before work starts, and backed by the 365-Day Done Right Promise.
Here’s what the process looks like in an Amesbury Town home, start to finish. We connect a Nikro HEPA vacuum to the system to create negative pressure, which means loosened debris goes straight into containment rather than back into your living room. Then we work each register, return, trunk line, and the air handler cabinet with agitation tools. Finally, we run a camera through the main runs to confirm the job is complete and capture your before-and-after photos.
Full System Cleaning
Full System Cleaning means we don’t stop at the visible ducts. We open and clean the blower motor housing, the air handler cabinet behind the filter slot, and the return plenum. In Amesbury Town, that last step matters more than people expect, because the debris load is usually sitting right behind the filter slot, not in the ducts themselves.

Video Inspection
Video inspection is how we verify the work and document it for you. Every full cleaning includes a camera pass through the main trunks, and we hand you the before-and-after images. If you’re buying a home in Amesbury Town and want to know what you’re inheriting in the ductwork, we also offer standalone inspection services.

Trusted Brands We Service in Amesbury Town
Our equipment fleet is built around Nikro HEPA-rated vacuum extraction and Abatement Technologies containment units, and we install and service filtration products from Honeywell and Aprilaire. That matters in Amesbury Town because older mill-era homes often need upgraded filtration to handle the fine dust that works its way in from road traffic and seasonal pollen along the Merrimack Valley. We carry common replacement filters and parts on the truck, so a simple filtration upgrade doesn’t require a second visit. If your system uses a proprietary filter housing, we’ll document it during the job and order what’s needed.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Amesbury Town Homes
- Lint pathways where flex meets galvanized. We ran a two-system job off a Point Shore-area home where the second-floor returns were pulling that classic musty-lint smell every time the air handler kicked on. The camera showed a heavy lint buildup where a flex run met the old galvanized trunk, and the fix required working the trunk from the register side with negative pressure running.
- Debris hiding behind the filter slot. Homeowners see clean ducts and assume the system is clean. In Amesbury Town’s older homes, the real accumulation sits in the blower cabinet and return plenum, right where the filter can’t catch it. We open that cabinet on every full cleaning.
- Original galvanized trunks under-scoped. A quick register wipe won’t touch the decades of fine particulate baked onto the inside of a mill-era trunk. These runs need agitation and camera verification, not a brush on a stick.
- Flex runs in tight chases. Newer additions and condos in Amesbury Town often route flex duct through narrow chases that were never designed for access. We scope these carefully before work begins so the price you’re quoted covers the actual labor required to reach them.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Amesbury Town
Per system, always. Our written price covers the entire system – supply ducts, return ducts, trunk lines, blower cabinet, and plenum – regardless of how many vents it has. Per-vent pricing is how this industry hides small print and inflates invoices once the van is parked. We hand you a flat per-system price before any work starts, and it does not change at the door. Call (737) 727-2314 for an exact quote, free of charge.
Most homes here need a professional cleaning every three to five years. That window shortens to two to three years if you have pets, recent renovation work, smokers in the home, or live near one of Amesbury Town’s mill-era neighborhoods where fine dust works its way in constantly. We won’t schedule you for a cleaning you don’t need; if our inspection shows the system is clean, we’ll tell you so and save you the invoice. For an honest assessment, call (737) 727-2314.
We set up a Nikro HEPA vacuum to create negative pressure on the system, which pulls loosened debris straight into containment rather than back into your living space. Then we work every register, return, trunk run, and the air handler cabinet with agitation tools. Finally, we run a camera through the main runs, verify the job, and hand you before-and-after photos of your own ducts. The whole job typically takes four to eight hours depending on system count and access.
Yes, we use the same source-removal process and equipment for commercial buildings, scaled to the size of the space. Retail, office, and light industrial spaces in Amesbury Town run $900 – $2,400 depending on square footage and unit count. We schedule commercial work around your business hours, including early morning and evening access. Call (737) 727-2314 to scope your building and get a written price.
We recommend having it done at the same time, especially in Amesbury Town’s older homes where dryer vents often run long horizontal distances to exterior walls. A blocked dryer vent is a fire risk and makes your dryer work harder. We offer dryer vent cleaning as a separate add-on service, and we’ll tell you if we see a problem during your duct cleaning. The price for the add-on is quoted upfront, in writing, the same as everything else.
