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.

Why Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning Is Everett’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
Everett’s housing stock demands a duct cleaner who actually understands what’s inside the walls. The city is dense with older wood-frame homes, many built between 1900 and 1960, where ductwork was retrofitted into tight spaces never designed for it. We’ve pulled decades of dust, pet hair, and the occasional squirrel cache out of returns under Everett porches and in crawlspaces off Main Street. Local homeowners tell us the same thing: they want someone who shows up on time, names the price up front, and proves the work was done.
We run professional-grade equipment on every Everett job: Rotobrush rotary brush systems for the duct walls, Nikro HEPA vacuums for negative-pressure extraction, and Abatement Technologies containment units to keep the work area clean. Background-checked, uniformed technicians do the work, and you’ll know their name before they arrive. The 365-Day Done Right Promise covers every Everett booking without exception: if the work isn’t right, we come back and correct it at no charge, any time within a full year.
Omar Haddad, who leads the Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning team serving Everett, holds every job to one standard: total visibility, from the live arrival window to the before-and-after photos to the digital invoice you can pay from your phone. Our Air Duct Cleaning crews are dispatched from our Boston-area office and serve Everett homes and businesses throughout the week.
Residential Air Duct Cleaning in Everett
Residential Air Duct Cleaning in Everett starts with the same question we ask on every job: when was the last time anyone actually looked inside the ducts? In most Everett homes, the answer is never. A standard residential clean includes both supply and return runs, the main trunk lines, the blower motor and cabinet, and the air handler itself. We pull the system under negative pressure while agitating the duct walls, so loosened debris goes straight into the HEPA vacuum and not into your living room. Most Everett homes with furnaces and central air run $450 – $750 for the full system.
Supply and Return Duct Cleaning
Supply ducts push conditioned air to your rooms; return ducts pull air back to the furnace. Both collect dust, but the returns tend to gather far more because they carry unfiltered air from the living space. In Everett homes with pets or heavier foot traffic near the Powder House Circle area, we often see returns half-choked with hair and fine grit.
Blower and Air Handler Cabinet
Skipping the blower is the most common shortcut we see in cheap duct cleaning. The blower cabinet is where the air circulates, and it is usually the dirtiest single component in the whole system. We open it, clean it, and photograph it so you can see the difference without taking our word for it.
Commercial Air Duct Cleaning in Everett
Commercial Air Duct Cleaning in Everett needs to work around a business’s hours, not against them. We clean ducts in restaurants along Broadway, offices near the casino district, and medical and retail spaces throughout the city. Commercial systems are larger and often run longer hours, which means the accumulation cycle is faster. A small commercial kitchen in Everett might need cleaning every six to eight months, while a standard office suite can go two to three years. Commercial pricing in Everett generally lands between $900 and $2,200, depending on the number of units and register runs.
Kitchen and Restaurant Exhaust Adjuncts
Restaurant duct systems collect grease and cooking residue that a residential clean never encounters. We coordinate with the kitchen’s closed hours and use the same negative-pressure, HEPA extraction process scaled to the larger runs.
Office and Retail Spaces
Everett offices near Chelsea Street and the retail corridors off Revere Beach Parkway tend to have suspended ceilings with long register drops. We clean the full run from the rooftop unit or basement air handler to every register, and we photograph each section before and after.
Trusted Brands We Service in Everett
We service, clean, and maintain duct systems tied to every major HVAC brand installed in Everett homes: Trane, Carrier, Goodman, Rheem, Bryant, and Lennox all show up regularly in this city’s basements and utility closets. Whether the system feeds a century-old gravity-converted house or a newer high-efficiency unit, we clean the ductwork the same way: full access, proper negative pressure, and proof. Our trucks carry Guardsman and Aprilaire filtration parts, so when a filter housing is cracked or a media cabinet needs replacement, we can often handle it the same visit rather than scheduling a second trip. That matters when you live in Everett and winter air is already pushing dust through the house.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Everett Homes
- Unheated crawlspace flex runs. The woolly, insulated flex duct snaking through Everett crawlspaces often separates at the joints. Disconnected runs under Swan Street or near Glendale Park pull soil air and moisture directly into the system, which is why some rooms never heat evenly.
- Renovation debris left in the trunk. Everett’s older homes get renovated constantly, and drywall dust plus construction scraps end up in the duct runs. We have pulled chunks of plaster, nail clippings, and drywall mud out of trunks that were supposedly cleaned years ago.
- Rodent and pest intrusion. Rats and mice find their way into exposed duct runs under Everett porches and in crawlspaces off Route 16. We see droppings and nesting material in returns more often than most homeowners would believe.
- Moisture staining and rust flakes. Homes near the Malden River line, around the Woodlawn neighborhood border, tend to hold humidity longer. Rust flakes in the register boots and moisture stains on the duct liner are signals the system needs more than a surface brushing.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Everett, MA

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Everett
Most Everett homes need a full duct cleaning every 4 – 6 years. If you have pets that shed heavily, a recent renovation that filled the house with drywall dust, or smokers living in the home, 3 – 4 years is more realistic. If someone quotes you a one-year interval, they are selling maintenance you probably don’t need. Call (737) 727-2314 and we will tell you honestly whether your system actually needs work or can wait.
Because per-vent pricing is how this industry hides cost. A low per-vent teaser sounds cheap until the tech counts your registers, factors the crawlspace runs, and adds charges for the blower and air handler. We price the whole system, agree on the number before we start, and hand you a written price that does not move. For a standard Everett single-family home, that is $450 – $750. Call (737) 727-2314 for an exact quote on your layout.
We start with a camera inspection of the supply and return ducts so you can see what is inside before we touch it. Then we connect a HEPA-filtered vacuum to create negative pressure, run rotary agitation tools through every accessible run, clean the blower motor and air handler cabinet, and photograph everything before and after. The whole process in a typical Everett home runs about 3 – 5 hours. Our Air Duct Cleaning process is built around proof, not promises.
No, we don’t, and any company promising same-day duct cleaning in Everett during the fall season is probably cutting corners. A proper clean needs a camera inspection, negative-pressure setup, agitation, and post-clean photos. None of that happens when a crew is racing the clock. We schedule Everett jobs on a fixed arrival window you can track, usually within three to seven days of booking. Call (737) 727-2314 to check current availability.
Yes, and we recommend it. Dryer vents in Everett homes, especially the older wood-frame houses with long vent runs to exterior walls on Glendale Street or Ferry Street, pack with lint faster than the duct system. We can add Dryer Vent Cleaning - Everett to your duct job at a discounted add-on rate. It prevents fire risk and improves dryer performance. Call (737) 727-2314 and ask for the combination quote.
