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 Nellis AFB’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
Nellis AFB residents deal with a specific kind of dust. The base sits downwind of the Las Vegas Valley’s prevailing winds, which means fine desert silt finds its way into return ducts and then gets recirculated through the air handler all summer. Our techs know this housing stock: the privatized family homes in the Nellis corridor have different duct layouts and silt loads than the older off-base rentals near the main gate, and we treat them accordingly. Our Air Duct Cleaning team runs professional-grade equipment from Nikro and Abatement Technologies, not a truck-mounted shop-vac shortcut.
Every technician who arrives at a Nellis AFB home is background-checked and in uniform, and you’ll know their name before they knock. Omar Haddad leads the team, and he holds every job to the 365-Day Done Right Promise: if the work isn’t right within a full year, we return and correct it at no charge. That’s the longest satisfaction window in the trade, and it covers every single booking. No fine print, no exceptions.
We’re part of the Relay Home Co. family, founded in 2005, and every job operates under The Relay Standard: a live trackable arrival time, before-and-after photo documentation, and a digital invoice you can pay from your phone. Dispatch is coordinated from the Las Vegas office, but crews serve Nellis AFB locally and know the roads, the gate requirements, and the housing communities inside the base perimeter.
Air Duct Inspection in Nellis AFB
Air Duct Inspection in Nellis AFB is how we determine whether your ducts actually need cleaning or if your dust problem is coming from somewhere else, like a leaky return pulling attic air. For $99 to $150, a tech runs a camera through your supply and return lines, photographs the interior of the trunk, and shows you exactly what’s in there. You get a written report and a flat price for any cleaning recommended, agreed before we touch a single register.
Camera-First, Not Guesswork
We do not sell duct cleaning on a guess. The camera tells the truth: a thin film of dust on the walls of a duct is not a problem, but a quarter-inch silt pack in the return trunk under a Nellis AFB home is. You see the same footage we see, and if the ducts are actually clean, we’ll tell you that and leave.
When an Inspection Makes Sense
If you recently moved into a unit along Las Vegas Boulevard North and don’t know the duct history, an inspection costs less than a cleaning and gives you a baseline. If your AC ran hard all summer and you’re seeing dust settle on furniture within a day, an inspection will tell you whether the ducts are the source or the return is pulling unconditioned air.
Residential Air Duct Cleaning in Nellis AFB
Residential Air Duct Cleaning in Nellis AFB means cleaning every surface of the duct system in your home: supply runs, return runs, the trunk lines, registers, and the air handler cabinet. For a typical single-family unit, the whole job runs $350 to $600 and takes about three to four hours. The price is handed to you in writing before work begins, and it does not change at the door. That’s the written-price standard we’ve held since day one.
Negative Pressure, HEPA Filtration
We clean with negative-pressure extraction, which means the loosened debris goes straight into a HEPA-filtered vacuum instead of back into your living room. A Rotobrush agitation system loosens the silt that bakes onto duct walls in desert heat, and the vacuum captures it at the source. This matters more in Nellis AFB than it would in a wetter climate: fine silt is lighter than matted dust, so a poor setup will aerosolize it straight into your home.
Before-And-After Photos of Your Own Ducts
Every job ends with photo documentation of your actual duct interiors, not stock images. You see the trunk line and registers before we start and after we finish. That’s part of The Relay Standard and it’s the honest way to prove the work was done, not just claimed.
Trusted Brands We Service in Nellis AFB
We work on systems built around Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Guardsman filtration products, and we stock common parts for these brands so Nellis AFB customers aren’t waiting on a special order. If your system uses an Aprilaire media filter cabinet or a Honeywell electronic air cleaner, our techs have seen it before and know how to clean around it without damaging the housing. The same applies to equipment on the vacuum side: Abatement Technologies containment units and Nikro HEPA vacuums are part of our standard fleet, not rental gear of unknown maintenance history.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Nellis AFB Homes
- Silt-packed return trunks: The fine desert dust blowing down the Las Vegas Valley settles in return lines and compacts into a dense layer that reduces airflow before it ever shows up as visible dust inside the house. We see this on nearly every older off-base rental near Las Vegas Boulevard North.
- Per-vent pricing masks: A crew quotes you $39 and then “finds” that your system has 14 vents, not 8. The final invoice triples. We don’t price per vent, ever, and we never base a quote on a vent count we haven’t inspected ourselves.
- No source removal, just register brushing: Some cleaners vacuum the register covers and call it done. The silt in the trunk stays put, and you’ll see dust settle again within days. Our process removes debris from the entire duct run, not the visible parts only.
- Heavy AC runtime masking filter problems: Nellis AFB units run their air handlers hard from May through September. That means a dirty filter gets bypassed, and the coil and blower pull dust across themselves constantly. Cleaning the ducts without addressing the filtration means the cycle repeats in under a year.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Nellis AFB
Every 3 to 5 years, and in Nellis AFB specifically the desert dust tends to push that closer to the 3-year mark than the 5. If you run the AC heavily, have pets, or live near a construction site along Las Vegas Boulevard North, you’ll likely see dust settle faster. We’ll inspect first and tell you honestly if the ducts need work or if a filter change is enough. Call (737) 727-2314 for an inspection and get a straight answer.
One flat price for the entire system, agreed in writing before we start. No per-vent math, no surprise add-ons when the tech counts the registers. The price you sign is the price you pay. If you want an exact number, call (737) 727-2314 and we’ll quote it over the phone.
We run a camera through the supply and return lines to see what we’re working with, then set up negative pressure with HEPA filtration so loosened debris goes into the vacuum, not your living room. Agitation tools break up the silt pack, and we clean the trunk lines, every supply and return run, the registers, and the air handler cabinet. You get before-and-after photos of your own ducts before we leave. The whole job takes three to four hours for a typical home.
Scheduling depends on crew availability, so we don’t promise same-day service. What we do promise is a live trackable arrival window through The Relay Standard, so you know when we’re coming and can watch the tech’s arrival in real time. Call (737) 727-2314 and we’ll get you on the schedule for the soonest available slot.
Yes, if the cleaning includes true source removal with HEPA filtration. The fine silt blowing down the Las Vegas Valley settles into return ducts and gets recirculated constantly; a proper cleaning removes that silt from the entire duct run, not just the registers, and the difference shows within days. We’ll also recommend a filter with a higher MERV rating to catch what the desert keeps throwing at your system. Call (737) 727-2314 and we’ll walk you through what a cleaning will and won’t fix.
