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 Midlothian’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
Midlothian homeowners call us because we are the Air Duct Cleaning team that shows up with professional-grade equipment and a written price in hand.

That means loosened debris goes into a sealed vacuum, not back into your living room. Every technician is background-checked, uniformed, and you know their name before they knock.
We are part of the Relay Home Co. family, founded in 2005, and every job we book carries The Relay Standard: a live trackable arrival window, before-and-after photo documentation of the work, and a digital invoice you can pay from your phone. Our 365-Day Done Right Promise covers every Midlothian job without exception. If the work is not right within a full year, we return and correct it at no charge. That is the longest satisfaction window in the trade, and it is exactly what a duct cleaning company should offer.
Omar Haddad leads our team, and his standard is simple: name the price before the work starts, show the homeowner the results, and stand behind the job for a year. That is why Air Duct Cleaning in Midlothian customers keep our number in their phones and refer us to neighbors.
Residential Air Duct Cleaning in Midlothian
Residential Air Duct Cleaning in Midlothian is where we spend most of our days, and the homes here present two very different jobs depending on when they were built. In a mid-century ranch near 8th Street or a 1990s brick home off Highway 287, we typically find years of accumulated dust, pet hair, and often undersized return ducts that have been making the system work harder than it should. In a brand-new build in one of Midlothian’s newer subdivisions, the ducts are usually filled with drywall dust and construction debris from the build itself, not from years of living. Both jobs benefit from source removal, but they require a different eye.
Full System Cleaning
We clean the entire path air travels: supply ducts, return ducts, registers, plenums, and the air handler. Skipping any of those leaves dust in circulation. A full system cleaning in Midlothian runs $450 to $900 for a typical single-family home, and the price is set before we begin.
Video Inspection
Before we recommend cleaning, we run a camera through the ducts. In Midlothian we use this to confirm what is actually in your system, whether that is construction dust in a new build or years of buildup in an older home. You see the footage. No guesswork.
Commercial Air Duct Cleaning in Midlothian
Commercial Air Duct Cleaning in Midlothian covers offices, retail spaces, churches, and light industrial buildings across the city. Businesses along the 287 corridor and the growing commercial areas near Midlothian Parkway have different duct layouts than homes, often with longer runs, larger air handlers, and higher occupancy. A commercial cleaning in Midlothian typically runs $1,200 to $4,000 depending on square footage and the number of rooftop units, and we provide a line-item quote before any work is scheduled.
Supply and Return Duct Cleaning
Commercial supply ducts push conditioned air out, and return ducts pull it back. Both sides collect dust at different rates, especially in buildings near Highway 287 where road dust is a constant. We clean both supply and return runs, plus the air handler, and we document the results with photos.
Containment and HEPA Extraction
For occupied commercial spaces, we set up Abatement Technologies containment to keep dust from spreading during the cleaning. The extraction runs through Nikro HEPA vacuums, which capture the fine particulate that a standard shop vac recirculates. We schedule commercial work around your operating hours in Midlothian.
Trusted Brands We Service in Midlothian
Midlothian homes run a mix of HVAC brands, and we service them all. We commonly clean systems built around Honeywell filtration, Aprilaire media cabinets, and standard builder-grade equipment. We also install and service Guardsman and Aprilaire filtration products when homeowners want better air quality after the cleaning is done. Because we stock replacement filters and common filter media for these brands, Midlothian customers are not waiting on a part to ship. If your system has a Honeywell electronic air cleaner or an Aprilaire media filter housing, we handle it directly, and we leave the new filter in place before we leave.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Midlothian Homes
- Construction dust in new builds. Midlothian’s new subdivisions, particularly around Ridgepoint and the areas east of the high school, produce homes with drywall dust and sawdust baked into the ductwork. Builders do not clean ducts after construction, and that fine white powder circulates for months after move-in.
- Undersized return ducts in older homes. Homes built in the 1970s and 1980s near downtown Midlothian often have a single central return instead of returns in every room. That forces the blower to work harder and pulls dust through the system at higher velocity.
- Dirty blower motors and evaporator coils. When ducts are cleaned without addressing the air handler, the blower wheel stays coated in the same dust that was in the ducts. We clean the blower and coil as part of a full system cleaning, not as an add-on.
- Per-vent pricing surprises. Many Midlothian homeowners have been quoted a low flat rate over the phone, then charged more once the technician counted registers. That is why we quote one flat price per system before any work starts, and our price does not change when we arrive.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Midlothian
We charge one flat price per system, never per vent. Your written quote covers the full system: supply ducts, return ducts, registers, plenums, and the air handler. The price does not change when we arrive, regardless of how many vents you have. Call (737) 727-2314 for an exact quote on your Midlothian home.
Most Midlothian homes need a full duct cleaning every 3 to 5 years. New-build homes in Midlothian should be cleaned sooner, usually within the first 12 to 18 months after move-in, because construction dust circulates until it is removed. Homes with pets, smokers, or allergy sufferers often benefit from cleaning every 2 to 3 years. If you are unsure, a video inspection tells us exactly what is in your ducts before you spend anything.
Yes. Every Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning job includes before-and-after photos of your own ducts, not a stock image. We run a camera before we start, and we photograph the same sections after the cleaning is complete. You see exactly what was removed and what the ducts look like when we are done.
We do not offer same-day service. A proper duct cleaning in Midlothian takes several hours and involves setting up negative-pressure equipment, cleaning supply and return ducts, cleaning the blower and coil, and documenting the results. We schedule appointments with a live trackable arrival window, so you know when we are coming and can plan your day around it. Call (737) 727-2314 to find the next available appointment.
We start with a camera inspection to see what is in your ducts. Then we set up negative-pressure extraction using Nikro HEPA vacuums, which means the system pulls air backward through the ducts so loosened dust goes into the vacuum, not your living room. We agitate the duct walls with Rotobrush tools to dislodge debris, clean the registers, plenums, supply and return ducts, and finish with the blower motor and evaporator coil. The process typically takes 3 to 5 hours for an average Midlothian home, and you get before-and-after photos at the end.
Midlothian’s mix of older ranches and brand-new subdivisions means no two duct systems are the same, and that is exactly why we quote after seeing your system, not before. The flat price is in writing before work starts, the technicians are background-checked and in uniform, and the job is backed by the 365-Day Done Right Promise. If you are ready to see what is actually in your ducts, call us at (737) 727-2314 for a free estimate.
