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 Clovis
Air duct cleaning in Clovis, CA typically costs $450 – $850 for a full residential system, with most standard single-family homes landing between $500 and $700. That’s one flat price per system agreed before any work starts, not a per-vent upsell that grows once the technician walks your hallways. Our crews know Clovis neighborhoods well, from the tree-lined streets off Old Town to the newer subdivisions east of Highway 168, and we schedule every job with a live arrival window you can track from your phone. Call (737) 727-2314 for an exact quote on your home.
What makes Clovis duct work different is the split housing stock. Half the city breathes through older mid-century flex runs that were installed when furnaces were oversized and returns were an afterthought. The other half sits in tightly-sealed newer construction where a failed boot seal or an undersized return chase quietly pulls attic dust into the living space. We plan for both, and we bring the right equipment for whichever house you own.
Why Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning Is Clovis’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
Homeowners in Clovis call us because we tell them the truth about what their ducts actually need. When a crew shows up with a shop-vac and a per-vent price sheet, they’re selling a register wipe, not a duct cleaning. That’s the exact frustration our Air Duct Cleaning process was built to eliminate. One flat price per system, a written quote before we touch a single vent, and before-and-after photos of your own ductwork delivered to your phone.
We’re part of the Relay Home Co. family, founded 2005, and held to the Relay Visibility Guarantee on every booking. That means your technician arrives in uniform, background-checked, and on a live trackable arrival window. You’ll know the tech’s name before they ring the bell. Omar Haddad, who leads Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning, insists on that standard for every Clovis job we run.
Residents from Harlan Ranch to Loma Vista and the neighborhoods around Sierra Vista Mall consistently tell us the same thing: the camera inspection changed how they thought about the job. We don’t guess at what’s inside your ducts. We show you, on a screen, before we clean.
Air Duct Inspection in Clovis
Air Duct Inspection in Clovis is how we verify what’s actually happening inside your supply and return lines before a dollar of cleaning happens. Using a camera feed, we check for loose flex runs, failed boot seals, disconnected returns, and the kind of lint and dust buildup that a visual register check will never reveal. In Clovis, this matters more than in coastal cities because our summers force HVAC systems to run hard from May through October, cycling attic-heated air through every seam.
An inspection runs $149 – $249 when booked as a standalone service, and it’s credited toward the cleaning if you move forward within 30 days. If your ducts are clean and the system is tight, we’ll tell you that plainly and write up what we found. We’d rather earn the next booking honestly than sell a cleaning you don’t need.
When the camera changes the quote
Older Clovis homes, particularly those built between the 1950s and 1980s near the Old Town corridor, often have flex runs that have sagged or separated over decades of attic heat. The camera sees exactly where the separation is. When we know that before quoting, the flat price per system accounts for the actual condition, not a generic square footage formula.
Re-sealing what the camera finds
A boot seal failure at the air handler is one of the most common issues we photograph in Clovis homes, and it’s invisible without a camera inspection. When we re-seal it during the cleaning, we prevent the problem from returning the moment the system kicks back on. That re-seal is included in the system price, not billed as a surprise add-on.
Residential Air Duct Cleaning in Clovis
Residential Air Duct Cleaning in Clovis means source removal through supply and return ducts, not a surface wipe of the visible registers. We connect a Nikro HEPA-rated vacuum to create negative pressure, so loosened debris flows straight into the containment unit instead of back into your living room. Then a Rotobrush rotary brush system agitates the duct walls and pushes decades of dust, pet hair, and construction debris toward the vacuum. That’s the core of the job, and it’s included in one flat price per system.
A standard single-family home in Clovis takes 3 to 5 hours with a two-tech crew. Larger homes in the Harlan Ranch area or custom builds east of Locan Avenue may run longer, and that’s reflected in the quote before we start. Prices for residential duct cleaning in Clovis run $450 – $850 depending on the number of systems and the condition we find on inspection.
The before-and-after standard
We photograph your ducts before we start and again when we finish. Not stock photos. Your actual ductwork, your actual system. If a return was packed with seven years of lint and pet hair, you’ll see the difference on your own screen. Clovis homeowners tell us that’s the proof they wanted all along and never got from other services.
What we don’t do
We don’t charge by the vent. We don’t inflate the quote because your house has 14 registers instead of 9. We don’t skip the trunk lines and air handler to make the visible vents look clean faster. And we don’t make a same-day promise just to get a phone call. If your job is genuinely urgent, we’ll work with your schedule, but honest duct cleaning takes the time it takes, and we’d rather do it right.
Trusted Brands We Service in Clovis
We service and work alongside systems built by Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Guardsman, and we run our jobs with professional-grade equipment from Rotobrush, Nikro, and Abatement Technologies. That’s a meaningful difference in Clovis, where a homeowner with an Aprilaire filtration system or a Honeywell zone setup deserves a crew that recognizes the equipment and understands how it integrates with the duct run. We carry common replacement filters and boot seal materials on our trucks, so if the inspection turns up a cracked collar or a failed seal, we often fix it the same visit without a second trip and without a second scheduling phone call.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Clovis Homes
- Dust returns within a day of cleaning. This is the telltale sign of a failed boot seal at the air handler or a return chase pulling attic insulation dust. In Clovis’s hot summers, the temperature differential makes that suction stronger, so the problem compounds fast.
- Undersized returns in newer tight builds. Homes in Loma Vista and Harlan Ranch were built tight for energy efficiency, but the return side is often undersized for the blower demand. That negative pressure pulls dust through any gap in the wall cavity, and no amount of register wiping fixes it.
- Sagging or disconnected flex runs in older homes. Attic heat degrades flex duct over time. Mid-century Clovis homes near the Old Town corridor frequently show disconnected runs that vent conditioned air into the attic, dragging insulation particles back into the system on the next cycle.
- Lint-like buildup from oversized furnaces. Many older Clovis homes had furnaces installed when energy was cheap, so the blowers move more air than the ducts were sized for. That turbulence causes accelerated dust deposition in the duct walls, particularly in the supply trunks.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Clovis
Every 3 to 5 years for most Clovis homes, but that honest answer depends on pets, occupancy, and whether your home is a tight new build in Loma Vista or an older mid-century flex-run house near Old Town. If a camera inspection shows clean ducts, we’ll tell you to save your money. Call (737) 727-2314 and we’ll assess your system without pushing an unnecessary job.
No. We quote one flat price per system, agreed before we start, and it does not change based on how many vents your house has. Per-vent pricing is how some crews inflate the invoice while skipping the trunk lines and air handler, which is where Clovis dust and lint actually collect.
Source removal through supply and return ducts using HEPA negative pressure, a camera inspection, register hand-agitation, boot re-sealing where needed, and before-and-after photos of your own ductwork. One price covers the whole system. That’s what differentiates a real cleaning in Clovis from a register wipe.
We don’t promise same-day slots because an honest duct cleaning on a Clovis home takes 3 to 5 hours with a two-tech crew, and we schedule our work to be done right, not fast. If there’s a genuinely urgent situation like a disconnected run pulling attic debris, we’ll do our best to get to you quickly. Call (737) 727-2314 and we’ll give you a straight answer on timing.
Yes. Every Clovis job includes before-and-after photo documentation of your actual ductwork, delivered digitally before we leave. The photos are the proof, and they’re part of the Relay Visibility Guarantee on every booking, not an optional add-on.
To get a written quote for air duct cleaning in Clovis, call Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning at (737) 727-2314. A live person answers, day or night. We’ll talk through your system, schedule a time that works, and hand you one flat price per system before a single duct is touched.
