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.
Fast, Reliable Air Duct Cleaning Across Pflugerville
Air duct cleaning in Pflugerville typically costs $450 – $850 for a full single-system home, and the job takes about 3 – 5 hours from setup to final photo documentation. If you’re noticing dust on furniture within days of vacuuming, a musty smell when the AC kicks on, or vents that look coated in gray fuzz, your ducts are likely the source. Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning serves Pflugerville with one flat price per system, agreed in writing before any work starts. Call (737) 727-2314 for a free estimate with no per-vent pricing games.
We know Pflugerville’s housing stock well because we work in it every week. The split between older rigid-metal duct homes near downtown and newer flex-duct builds in Highland Park and Falcon Pointe means the same service call can look completely different depending on which side of FM 685 you live on. Our techs arrive in uniform, background-checked, with a name you’ll know before the door opens. And every job ends with before-and-after photos of your actual ducts, not stock images.
Why Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning Is Pflugerville’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
We’re part of the Relay Home Co. family, founded in 2005, and every Pflugerville booking is held to The Relay Visibility Guarantee. That means a live trackable arrival window, written price before work begins, before-and-after photo proof, and a digital invoice you can pay from your phone. No four-hour arrival windows. No price that shifts once the tech is standing in your hallway.
Our 365-Day Done Right Promise backs every job. If the work isn’t right within a full year, we return and correct it at no charge. That’s not a limited offer on select services. It’s the standing rule for every duct cleaning, HVAC cleaning, and dryer vent cleaning we do in Pflugerville. Omar Haddad, owner at Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning, set that standard because Pflugerville homeowners told us exactly what they were tired of: vague quotes and no proof the work was actually done.
For service, call (737) 727-2314 and a live person answers. Always. Not a voicemail loop, not a next-business-day callback.
Residential Air Duct Cleaning in Pflugerville
Residential Air Duct Cleaning in Pflugerville means we clean the full duct run: supply and return sides, the trunk line, branch runs, and the air handler cabinet where the blower motor sits. Most Pflugerville homes have a single central system, and that coil cabinet is often where a thick mat of lint and dust accumulates. If we skip it, whatever we pull out of the ducts just gets pushed back through by the blower within weeks.
A standard single-system home in Pflugerville runs $450 – $850 depending on the number of registers and the duct type. Homes in the Wells Branch and Spring Trails areas with two-story runs and long trunk lines tend toward the higher end. The quote is one number for the whole system, written down before we touch a single vent.
Supply Duct Cleaning
Supply ducts are the ones that deliver conditioned air into your rooms. In Pflugerville homes built before 2010, these are often rigid metal with mastic-sealed joints. We clean them with a Rotobrush rotary brush system paired with a Nikro HEPA negative-pressure vacuum, which means loosened debris goes straight into the vacuum rather than back into your living room air.
Return Duct Cleaning
Return ducts pull air back to the air handler and tend to collect more dust than supply runs because they carry unfiltered air from the house. In Pflugerville homes with pets or carpeting, the return side often shows visible gray buildup within three to five years. We clean both sides on every job. A return-only cleaning leaves half the system dirty.
Commercial Air Duct Cleaning in Pflugerville
Commercial Air Duct Cleaning in Pflugerville covers offices, retail spaces, dental and medical suites, daycares, and small warehouses throughout the FM 685 and SH 130 corridor. These buildings often have longer duct runs, multiple return points, and rooftop units that pull in Texas dust year-round. The process is the same in principle: clean every supply and return run, the coil cabinet, and the blower assembly, then document the whole thing with photos.
Commercial jobs in Pflugerville typically run $1,200 – $3,500 depending on square footage, number of rooftop or split units, and ceiling height. We quote a flat price per system, not per vent, and we schedule around your business hours so you don’t close for the day.
Full System Cleaning
Full system cleaning means we pull the blower motor, clean the evaporator coil, and clear the drain pan while we’re in the cabinet. In Pflugerville commercial buildings with high occupancy or high dust loads, a full system job every two to three years keeps energy costs from creeping up. The blower assembly is where a lot of the restriction builds.
Trusted Brands We Service in Pflugerville
We service and clean systems from every major manufacturer you’ll find in Pflugerville homes and businesses: Trane, Carrier, Lennox, Goodman, Rheem, and American Standard. Our equipment fleet uses Rotobrush rotary brush systems, Nikro HEPA vacuums, and Abatement Technologies containment units where needed. If you have an Aprilaire or Guardsman filtration system installed, we clean the housing and replace the media when we’re inside. No need to call a separate filter specialist.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Pflugerville Homes
- Disconnected flex duct in attic runs. In 2018+ builds in Falcon Pointe and Highland Park, we regularly find flex ducts that have separated from the plenum or a branch fitting. The system then pulls attic air, insulation, and dust directly into the living space. A camera inspection finds this fast.
- Blow-and-go shop-vac jobs that make things worse. If a previous cleaning used a standard shop vacuum without negative-pressure setup, the dislodged debris just recirculates through the return side. We see homes in the Spring Trails area where the return ducts look worse after a cheap cleaning than before it.
- Supply-side-only cleaning that ignores the air handler. On a single central system, the coil cabinet can hold a dense mat of lint. Clean the ducts but skip the cabinet, and the blower pushes that lint right back into the house within a month.
- Crushed or kinked flex duct from attic foot traffic. Pflugerville homes with attic storage or recent HVAC work often show crushed flex runs that restrict airflow. The dust settles on the supply register because the air is moving slow. We’ll flag it during the job and note it in the photo documentation.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Pflugerville, TX

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Pflugerville
If you have visible dust buildup on the supply registers, a musty smell when the system runs, dust settling on furniture within two or three days of cleaning, or you recently finished a renovation that generated drywall dust, the ducts likely need attention. Homes in Pflugerville built before 2010 with original ducts often need a first cleaning around the 5 – 7 year mark. Newer flex-duct homes in Falcon Pointe and Highland Park can show problems sooner if a fitting has failed. We can help you confirm with a camera inspection before quoting any work. Call (737) 727-2314 if you’re not sure.
We charge one flat price per system, written down before any work starts. We do not do per-vent pricing. Per-vent quotes are the classic bait-and-switch in this trade: a low phone price that balloons once the tech counts every register in your Pflugerville two-story. Our price for a single-system home is typically $450 – $850, and it does not change when we show up. Call (737) 727-2314 for an exact number.
No, and we won’t pretend to. Duct cleaning is a scheduled job that takes 3 – 5 hours when done properly with negative-pressure extraction and air handler cleaning. Any company promising same-day duct cleaning in Pflugerville is either cutting corners or charging you more to rush. We’ll get you on the calendar, tell you exactly when we’ll be there with a live trackable arrival window, and the work gets done right the first time. Call (737) 727-2314 to schedule.
New construction dust is real, but the more common issue we find in Pflugerville’s 2018+ builds is a disconnected or torn flex duct in the attic. The duct separates from the plenum or a branch fitting, and the system pulls attic air, insulation, and dust straight into the house. We ran a job in the Falcon Pointe subdivision off Pflugerville Parkway where the homeowner complained of dust settling within days of cleaning. The culprit was a disconnected flex supply duct blowing attic insulation into the living room. We found the tear with a camera inspection, reconnected and sealed the run, then cleaned the whole system under negative pressure with the Rotobrush. The before-and-after photos showed a visibly dark interior versus bare silver liner afterward. If your new home is dusty, something is wrong. Call (737) 727-2314.
Every job ends with photos of your ducts, taken from inside the register openings with a camera. The before photo shows the buildup: gray fuzz, construction debris, lint, sometimes pet hair or drywall dust. The after photo shows the bare duct interior, whether it’s shiny metal or clean silver flex liner. You get these photos as part of The Relay Standard booking experience, along with a digital invoice you can pay by link. That’s how you know the work was actually done, and it’s included on every Pflugerville job. Call (737) 727-2314 for a free estimate.
