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.

We’re Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning, part of the Relay Home Co. family, founded 2005.

Why Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning Is Groveport’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
Groveport homeowners have a sharp eye for the bait-and-switch routine this industry is known for. A low per-vent price over the phone that balloons once the van pulls up. We answer that directly: you get one flat price per system, in writing, before a single duct is touched. If the written price says $600, the invoice says $600. That’s how Omar Haddad runs the crew, and that’s why people from Main Street to Heritage Estates keep calling us back.
The Relay Standard booking means you get a live trackable arrival window, not a four-hour blur. Your technician shows up background-checked, in uniform, and you’ll know their name before the doorbell rings. After the job, before-and-after photos are sent to your phone along with a digital invoice you can pay by link. Every job is covered by our 365-Day Done Right Promise: if it’s not right within a full year, we come back and correct it at no charge.
Groveport sits in a unique spot. Homes here straddle two very different construction eras, and a duct cleaning that works for one won’t necessarily work for the other. That local knowledge changes how we approach each job.
Air Duct Cleaning Services in Groveport
Air Duct Cleaning Services in Groveport start with a camera inspection of your supply and return ductwork, so we can see exactly what’s inside before we touch anything. Most standard single-system homes in Groveport run $450 – $850 for a full clean. That price includes the air handler inspection, trunk line and branch run cleaning, and HEPA-filtered negative-pressure extraction. Older in-town homes near the canal-era core often have original sheet-metal trunk lines with leaky takeoffs, which means more debris sneaks in and more attention goes to sealing and cleaning those joints. Newer subdivisions like Bixby Ridge and Heritage Estates tend to have flex duct runs that kink or crush, which restricts airflow and traps dust differently.
Residential Duct Cleaning
For a single-family Groveport home, we clean every supply and return run, the trunk lines, and the air handler blower. Both the supply and return sides matter; cleaning only one leaves the other to recirculate what was missed. Our Air Duct Cleaning team uses a Rotobrush rotary brush system to agitate the duct walls, while a Nikro HEPA vacuum pulls everything out under negative pressure.

Full System Cleaning
Full system cleaning means we go beyond the ducts: air handler, blower motor, evaporator coil if accessible, and the plenum. In older Groveport homes with original sheet metal, the air handler is often the dirtiest part of the system, not the ducts themselves. We clean it because skipping it means dust returns within a week.

HVAC Duct Cleaning in Groveport
HVAC Duct Cleaning in Groveport is about the entire heating and cooling airflow path, not just the visible registers. A complete job for a typical Groveport home runs $450 – $850 per system, depending on the number of returns, system accessibility, and whether we’re also addressing the blower motor. We start with a video inspection so you see exactly what’s in your ducts before paying for anything. On a recent job on Main Street near Groveport Madison High School, the homeowner complained dust kept settling on furniture within a day of cleaning. Our tech found the blower motor caked with lint and debris. After a negative-pressure setup with HEPA filtration and full agitation of the runs, the before-and-after photos showed a clean blower wheel and clear duct walls.
Supply and Return Duct Cleaning
Supply ducts push conditioned air out; return ducts pull room air back. Both collect dust, but returns in Groveport homes usually gather more, because they pull unfiltered air from the living space. Cleaning only one side is a half-measure. The full system price covers both, no per-vent add-ons.
Video Inspection Before Cleaning
We don’t clean blind. A camera inspection shows us whether your ducts even need a full clean. Many newer Groveport builds with sealed flex duct simply need the air handler and blower motor checked instead. If your system doesn’t need a full clean, we’ll tell you that rather than sell you one.
Trusted Brands We Service in Groveport
We work on and service duct systems connected to all major HVAC brands found in Groveport homes. Our trucks carry abrasion-resistant agitation tools and HEPA vacuums from Nikro and Rotobrush, plus containment units from Abatement Technologies for jobs where dust control matters most. If you’re running a Honeywell, Aprilaire, or Guardsman filtration setup, we’re familiar with those housings and filter specifications. For Groveport customers, that means we arrive with the right tools and the right filtration products on the truck, not a shop vac and a prayer.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Groveport Homes
- Leaky sheet-metal takeoffs in older in-town homes. Homes near the canal-era core often have original trunk lines where the takeoffs have worked loose over decades, pulling dust and debris straight into the duct system. We seal what we can and flag what needs a proper repair.
- Kinked flex duct in newer subdivisions. Bixby Ridge and Heritage Estates homes run flex duct through tight attic spaces. Kinks restrict airflow and trap dust. We straighten what’s accessible and note any crushed runs that are beyond cleaning.
- Dirty blower motors that undo a fresh cleaning. If the blower wheel is caked, dust recirculates within days. We inspect and clean it as part of the flat per-system price.
- Contractors who quote per vent, then add vents on site. This is the classic Groveport complaint. Our price is per system, not per vent, and it’s in writing before work starts.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Groveport, OH
A standard single-system air duct cleaning in Groveport runs $450 – $850. Larger homes with two systems or extensive flex duct layouts can push toward $900 – $1,100. What affects the price: the number of returns, accessibility of the air handler, and whether the blower motor needs heavy cleaning. We do not charge per vent. We do not quote one number on the phone and reveal another on site. You get a written price before any tool comes off the truck. Call (737) 727-2314 for a free estimate with Omar or one of the crew.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Groveport
We charge per system, not per vent. One flat price covers the full duct system, air handler inspection, and blower motor cleaning. The price is written down before any work begins and it does not change at the door. Call (737) 727-2314 for an exact quote.
Most Groveport homes need a professional duct cleaning every 3 to 5 years. Homes with pets, recent renovations, or older sheet-metal systems with leaky takeoffs may need it sooner. Homes with newer sealed flex duct often need less. A camera inspection tells you for sure before you spend anything.
We photograph the interior of your ducts and the air handler before we start, then photograph the same spots after cleaning. You receive both images on your phone with your digital invoice. That’s the Relay Standard: proof of work, visible on your own system.
We schedule air duct cleaning jobs, not emergency calls. Same-day service isn’t something we promise because a proper cleaning takes 3 to 5 hours and is booked in advance. A live person answers (737) 727-2314 around the clock and will find the next available window for your Groveport home.
Yes. 1960s Groveport homes usually have sheet-metal trunk lines with takeoffs that have loosened over six decades. We clean the ducts the same way, but we spend more time sealing joints and inspecting the air handler, because that’s where dust enters and recirculates in older systems. The flat per-system price covers that extra attention.
If you live in Groveport, OH and want a real price, a camera inspection, and before-and-after proof of your own ducts, call (737) 727-2314 today. A live person answers. You’ll get a written quote and a straight answer about whether your ducts even need the work. That’s how we operate, and it’s why Groveport keeps calling.
