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.

AfterFast, Reliable Air Duct Cleaning Across Miami
Air duct cleaning in Miami, FL typically costs between $450 and $850 for a full residential system, and the job takes about three to five hours depending on home size. We serve every corner of Miami, from Brickell condos to Kendall single-family homes, with crews dispatched from our South FL office. If you’ve never had your ducts cleaned, or it’s been more than three years, the humidity here has been working against you the whole time. Call (737) 727-2314 and a live person answers, day or night.
Why Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning Is Miami’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
We don’t do per-vent pricing games. When you book Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning, you get one written price for the entire system before a single register is touched. That’s a rarity in Miami, where the industry norm is a low teaser quote that balloons once the crew is inside your home. Our background-checked, uniformed technicians run Rotobrush rotary brush systems and Nikro HEPA vacuums under negative pressure, meaning loosened debris goes into the vacuum, not back into your living room.
Omar Haddad leads our Miami operation, and he’s built the team around a simple standard: total visibility from booking to invoice. Every job includes The Relay Standard experience, a live trackable arrival window, before-and-after photos of your own ducts, and a digital invoice you can pay from your phone. We’re part of the Relay Home Co. family, founded 2005, and every booking is backed by the 365-Day Done Right Promise. If it’s not right, we return and correct it at no charge. That’s a full year of coverage on every job, not select ones.
Air Duct Cleaning Services in Miami
Air Duct Cleaning Services in Miami means removing what’s actually inside your ductwork: the salt-laden dust, humidity-fed mold spores, and years of accumulated debris that cycle through your AC system every day. A full system job includes cleaning the supply ducts, return ducts, registers, air handler, and blower motor. Most standard Miami homes run $450 to $750 for this scope. Condos and smaller units often land closer to $400.
Residential Duct Cleaning
Single-family homes in neighborhoods like Coconut Grove and Pinecrest collect a specific mess: fine coral-rock dust from construction, pet dander, and the constant biological film that humidity encourages. We clean the entire duct network, including the return drop and plenum, where the worst buildup hides. Before we finish, we show you photos of what came out.
Full System Cleaning
This is the service we recommend most in Miami. It covers everything, supply and return ducts, air handler cabinet, blower motor, and registers. Skipping the air handler is a common shortcut in this industry, and it leaves the worst buildup right where your system pulls air in. Our full system clean runs $500 to $850 for typical Miami homes.

HVAC Duct Cleaning in Miami
HVAC Duct Cleaning in Miami is more than just the ducts. It’s the air handler, the blower motor, the coils, and the return pathway, all of which get fouled by Miami-Dade’s humidity and year-round AC cycling. When your system runs eleven months a year, it pulls moisture and particulates through every component. A proper HVAC duct clean addresses the entire airflow path, and for Miami homes it typically runs $500 to $800 depending on system size and accessibility.
Return Duct Cleaning
The return side is where Miami’s problems concentrate. Humid air gets pulled into the return, carrying dust, salt, and whatever else floats through your home. Over time, that return drop can develop a matted layer of grime that restricts airflow and drives up your electric bill. Our return duct service uses rotary agitation and HEPA extraction to pull that material out at the source.
Video Inspection
Not sure what’s actually in your ducts? We run a camera through the system before and after cleaning. You’ll see exactly what we found and what we removed. This is standard on full system jobs and available as a standalone service for $150 in Miami.
Trusted Brands We Service in Miami
Miami’s housing stock runs the full gamut, from 1950s Coral Gables bungalows with original ductwork to high-rise Brickell condos with modern Trane and Carrier systems. Our Air Duct Cleaning team works on all of them. We pair our Rotobrush and Nikro equipment with filtration products from Honeywell and Aprilaire, which matters when humidity keeps filters saturated. If you’re replacing an Aprilaire media filter or upgrading to a Guardsman UV system, we carry what’s needed for most Miami installs, so there’s no second trip while parts ship.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Miami Homes
- Humidity-fed biological growth. Miami’s average relative humidity sits above 70% most months. When ducts stay damp, mold and mildew take hold along the interior surfaces, especially in systems that cycle constantly during the long summer.
- Salt-laden coastal air deposits. Homes within a few miles of Biscayne Bay or the Atlantic get a fine saline film inside their ductwork. It binds with dust to form a crust that regular filter changes never address.
- Restricted returns from closed registers. Many Miami homeowners close registers in unused rooms to save energy, which raises static pressure and forces the system to pull harder through whatever gaps exist. This drags in insulation fibers and wall cavity dust.
- Blower motor and air handler buildup. The air handler in a Miami home often sits in a hot, humid closet or garage. The blower wheel blades collect a wet, sticky layer of grime that reduces airflow and forces the motor to work harder, tripping limit switches in older systems.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Miami, FL
A typical full-system air duct cleaning in Miami runs $500 to $800 for a single-family home up to about 3,000 square feet. Larger homes or systems with multiple air handlers push toward $850 or more. Condos and apartments typically run $350 to $500 regardless of what the listing says. The price is set before we start, in writing, and it doesn’t change at the door. We don’t charge per vent, and we don’t upcharge for the air handler or blower, because skipping those isn’t really cleaning your ducts. Call (737) 727-2314 for a free estimate on your exact system.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Miami
Every three to five years for most Miami homes. If you have pets, run your AC nearly year-round, or live near the coast, you’re on the shorter end. Clean ducts aren’t a subscription, and we’ll tell you plainly when a cleaning isn’t warranted. Call (737) 727-2314 if you want an honest read on your system.
Per system. One flat price, agreed in writing before we start. No per-vent pricing, no mystery fees, no price change once the technician is in your home.
Yes. Every Cardinal job includes before-and-after photos of your own ductwork, taken with our video inspection camera. You’ll see the return drop, the supply runs, and the air handler before we clean, and the same surfaces after. If it wasn’t done, the photos will show it, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise covers you.
For most Miami homes, yes. Removing accumulated debris, biological growth, and salt-laden dust from the system means your AC isn’t recirculating that material every time it runs. It won’t cure allergies, but it reduces the particulate load in your air, which matters when your home is sealed against the heat most of the year. For an exact assessment of your system, call (737) 727-2314.
We schedule every job, and we don’t promise same-day service. What we do promise is a live arrival window you can track from your phone through The Relay Standard, and a live person who answers when you call (737) 727-2314 to book.
