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.

Air duct cleaning in Nevada, TX typically costs $400 – $750 for a full system on a standard single-family home, and the work is almost always completed in one visit. We schedule Nevada jobs within 3 – 7 business days, not because the work is slow, but because a real source-removal cleaning takes four to six hours and we won’t rush it. Our crews come from the Dallas-Fort Worth metro office, and they know the farm roads, the lake subdivisions, and the dust patterns that make Nevada’s ductwork different from anywhere else in Collin County. Call (737) 727-2314 and a live person answers. Always.
Why Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning Is Nevada’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
Most Nevada homeowners we meet have never had their ducts cleaned, and about half of them assumed it was a gimmick until they saw the photos. That’s the reaction we’re used to. The industry as a whole earned its reputation with $49 whole-house coupons that magically become $1,800 invoices when the tech pulls a shop vac out of the truck. Omar Haddad started Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning inside the Relay Home Co. family, founded 2005, because that bait-and-switch model bothered him more than any competitor. Every Nevada booking runs the same way: a written price for the entire system before a single register is touched, and a 365-Day Done Right Promise that brings us back at no charge if the work wasn’t right.
Nevada customers deal with a specific set of conditions: flat Blackland Prairie winds, agricultural soil blowing across FM 6 and 1138, and homes built across four different decades with vastly different duct layouts. Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and trained on professional-grade equipment from Rotobrush, Nikro, and Abatement Technologies. They arrive knowing your tech’s name before the door opens, and they document everything. Before-and-after photos of your own ducts are part of every job, not an add-on.
Ductwork Cleaning in Nevada
Ductwork Cleaning in Nevada means more than running a brush through the supply lines. The first thing we check is the return plenum and the air handler cabinet because that’s where Nevada homes collect the worst of the prairie dust. The process starts with sealing the supply registers, setting up negative-pressure extraction with a HEPA-filtered vacuum so loosened debris flows straight into containment instead of back into your living room, then agitating the supply and return runs with rotary brushes. After the source removal, we walk the system with a camera so you can see the result. A standard whole-home ductwork cleaning in Nevada runs $400 – $750 depending on system size and how heavily loaded the ducts are.
The Nevada Dust Load Problem
Because Nevada sits in a high-wind agricultural corridor along the Blackland Prairie, airborne soil and pollen get drawn into return ducts faster than in neighboring cities to the west. That means local HVAC systems often start our cleanings with visibly loaded return plenums rather than heavy supply runs. If you’ve changed a filter and it’s caked within two weeks, your return side is pulling airborne dirt at a rate the filter alone can’t handle.
Supply Ducts, Return Ducts, and Why Both Matter
A supply duct carries conditioned air out to your rooms. A return duct pulls room air back to the blower. Skipping the return side in Nevada is like washing half your car. The return plenum here is often the dirtiest component in the entire system, so if a cleaner’s scope skips it, they’ve skipped the actual problem.
Air Duct Inspection in Nevada
Air Duct Inspection in Nevada is a camera-based walkthrough of your supply and return runs, plenums, and air handler. We use it to document what’s actually inside: dust loading, moisture stains, rodent droppings, disconnected joints, crushed flex runs, or mold-adjacent buildup. An inspection-alone job runs $150 – $250, but if we do a full cleaning, the camera inspection is included at no extra charge. Nevada homeowners typically request one after a renovation, after moving into a resale home, or when a family member’s allergies have gotten noticeably worse indoors.
What the Camera Actually Shows
We don’t do “inspection by flashlight.” The camera goes into the duct, and you watch the feed on our tablet if you want to stand nearby. You’ll see exactly what we see: dust, debris, gaps in the duct seams, or clean metal. That’s the whole point of The Relay Visibility Guarantee. Nothing is described to you secondhand.
When Inspection Catches What Cleaning Alone Can’t
On a job off FM 6 near the Nevada Community Historical Society, a customer’s 12-year-old system was short-cycling and their Aprilaire filter was caked within two weeks of replacement. Our tech pulled the air handler panel, found the blower motor and evaporator coil blanketed in fine prairie dust, and set up negative pressure with HEPA filtration before running agitation tools through the supply and return ducts. After source removal and a camera inspection, the static pressure dropped back into range and the homeowner’s filter lasted a normal cycle. That’s the difference between an inspection and a guess.
Trusted Brands We Service in Nevada
We work on systems with Aprilaire filtration, Honeywell air cleaners, and Guardsman-rated components, and we stock the filter sizes Nevada homes ask for most so you don’t have to mail-order. Abatement Technologies containment units are part of our standard setup on homes with significant dust loading, not a premium upsell. If your system runs an Aprilaire filter cabinet, we’ll inspect the housing and gasket while we’re inside the return plenum. It’s the kind of detail that gets missed when a company’s scope stops at the vent covers.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Nevada Homes
- Quoting by vent count and skipping the return plenum. In Nevada’s windy corridor, the return side is where the dust load actually concentrates. A per-vent price that excludes the plenum and air handler means you paid for a partial job, and we see this more often than any other issue.
- Dryer vent runs left out of the scope. This is a fire hazard. Lint is the leading factor in home dryer fires, and a duct cleaner who doesn’t inspect or clean the dryer run left your highest-risk pathway untouched.
- No before-and-after photos. If there’s no visual proof of your own ducts, you can’t tell whether source removal happened or someone just wiped the register covers. The Relay Standard makes photo documentation mandatory on every job we book in Nevada.
- Homes built without a return in every room. Some older Nevada houses have a central return only, which means bedroom doors block airflow when closed. That increases static pressure and pulls more dust through fewer return grilles. We’ll tell you if your duct layout is working against you, and we’ll show you on the camera.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Nevada, TX
A typical whole-home air duct cleaning in Nevada runs $400 – $750. The range is driven by system size: a 1,400-square-foot ranch off 1138 will land on the lower end, while a larger two-story with dual returns and a long flex-run attic layout will run higher. Inspection alone is $150 – $250, and it’s folded into the cleaning price when you book the full job. We charge one flat price per system, agreed in writing before work starts. No per-vent math, no add-ons after the fact. If you want an exact number for your home, call (737) 727-2314 and ask for a free estimate.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Nevada
Every 4 to 6 years for most Nevada homes, except when the system takes on heavier loading. In the Blackland Prairie wind corridor, that interval shortens, particularly if you run your system year-round or live near active agricultural land off FM 6 where soil lift is constant. The honest answer: if your filter cakes within two weeks of replacement, or you see visible dust blowing from a register when the system kicks on, you’re due. You’re not breaking anything by waiting longer, but you are pushing more dust through your evaporator coil, which costs efficiency. Call (737) 727-2314 and we’ll tell you straight whether cleaning is worth it right now.
Because per-vent pricing is how Nevada homeowners get burned. A low per-vent quote sounds cheap until the tech counts twenty vents, tacks on returns, then adds the plenum, the air handler, and the “decontamination” as extras. We price the whole system up front: supply runs, return runs, both plenums, the air handler cabinet, and the blower when accessible. That’s the price, in writing, before we start. No surprises at the invoice.
We seal the registers, connect negative-pressure extraction with HEPA filtration, agitate the supply and return ducts with rotating brushes, clean the return plenum and air handler cabinet, then camera-inspect the finished work. The full sequence takes four to six hours on a typical Nevada house. You get before-and-after photos of your own ducts and a digital invoice payable from your phone. That’s The Relay Standard, and it’s built into every booking, not sold as an upgrade.
Yes, and it matters because dryer lint is the leading factor in home dryer fires, and Nevada’s dry, windy conditions mean dryer runs here load up fast. A clogged dryer vent also forces the dryer to run longer cycles, which costs you time and energy and accelerates appliance wear. We include the dryer vent run in the cleaning scope for Nevada homes whenever it’s accessible, and we won’t leave it out of a quote without telling you why.
No, and we’d rather be honest about that than put a non-cancellable same-day promise on a job that deserves a full afternoon. A proper source-removal cleaning on a Nevada home takes four to six hours, and our schedule reflects that. We book Nevada jobs within 3 – 7 business days, sometimes sooner if a slot opens from a reschedule. Call (737) 727-2314 and we’ll get you on the calendar with a live arrival window you can track from your phone.
If your ducts haven’t been cleaned in five years or more, or you’re seeing dust on every surface despite changing filters, it’s time. Call (737) 727-2314 for a free Nevada estimate and a written price before any work starts. Omar and the team will give you the real scope, the real cost, and photos of your own ducts when the job is done.
