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 Savannah’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
Savannah homeowners tend to know exactly what they want from a home service: a straight answer, a fair price, and proof the work happened. That’s why our crews get called back year after year by neighbors who found us through a friend on Savannah Heights Drive or a Facebook group post asking who actually showed up on time. We’re not the cheapest quote in town, and we’re comfortable with that. We’re the one that hands you a written price before a single vent cover comes off, and that price does not change at the door.
Every technician who arrives at your Savannah home is background-checked, uniformed, and trained on professional-grade equipment you can name: Rotobrush agitation systems, Nikro HEPA-filtered vacuums, and Abatement Technologies containment units. You’ll know your tech’s name before they ring the bell. That’s not a perk. That’s the Relay Standard, and it applies to every single job we run in Savannah without exception.
Our scheduling is coordinated from the Dallas-Fort Worth metro office, with local crews dispatched to Savannah every business day. When you call (737) 727-2314, a live person answers, takes your address, and gets you a trackable arrival window right on your phone. No voicemail loops. No “we’ll call you back next business day.”
Air Duct Inspection in Savannah
Air Duct Inspection in Savannah is where we start when a homeowner suspects their ducts are dirty but doesn’t want to clean blindly. We run a camera down the main trunk and branch lines, show you what’s actually in there, and then give you a recommendation based on evidence, not fear. In Savannah homes, especially the newer construction, inspection often finds drywall dust, sawdust, and stray construction debris that’s been circulating since move-in. Inspection alone runs $95 to $225 depending on system size, and that fee is credited toward full cleaning if you book within 30 days.
Omar Haddad, our lead on scheduling and standards for Savannah, puts it plainly: “Most people have never seen the inside of their own ducts. Once they see the photo, the decision makes itself.”
Camera Inspection on the Trunk Line
We insert a high-resolution camera into the main supply trunk and follow it through branch lines to the registers. You see the feed live. We flag sections with heavy buildup, duct damage, or disconnected joints. After the inspection, you get a written summary and our recommendation, whether that means a full cleaning or no work at all.
What We Check Upstream
Before any cleaning begins, we look at the air handler, the plenum, and the return side. In Savannah’s slab-on-grade homes, the return side often pulls from a central hallway chase, and that’s where we frequently find the heaviest debris load. We also check your filter condition and advise on a replacement schedule that fits Savannah’s fine construction dust.
Residential Air Duct Cleaning in Savannah
Residential Air Duct Cleaning in Savannah means cleaning every supply and return duct, the trunk line, the plenum, and the air handler interior as one complete system. You get one flat price for the whole system, agreed in writing before we start. A typical Savannah three- or four-bedroom home runs $425 to $785. Large custom builds or two-story homes with zoned systems can push toward $900. You’ll never see a per-vent charge on a Cardinal invoice.
The process itself is called source removal. We don’t just blow air through the system. We connect a HEPA-filtered vacuum to create negative pressure, meaning every bit of debris we dislodge goes straight into a sealed containment unit, not back into your living room. Then we run rotary agitation tools through each line to break the debris bond and lift it out.
Full System Cleaning, Not Just Registers
Cleaning only the visible register openings is a shortcut that leaves the real problem untouched. We clean the full length of every duct run, from register boot to the trunk connection. In Savannah homes with attic-mounted trunks, that means working in 140°F attics during summer months. Our crews are equipped and scheduled accordingly, because skipping the attic portion would be like washing half a car.
New Construction Duct Cleaning
This is the most common call we get in Savannah’s newer subdivisions. Builders aren’t required to clean ducts before closing, and construction debris sits in the system from day one. We ran a job in the Sienna section of Savannah on a two-year-old home where the homeowners kept finding fine gray dust on registers just days after wiping them down. The camera showed drywall dust and sawdust caked along the trunk line. After cleaning, the visible dust stopped, and the blower motor no longer cycled as hard.
Trusted Brands We Service in Savannah
We work on all residential HVAC systems in Savannah, and we’re well-versed in the filtration products that pair with them. Our trucks carry Guardsman filtration and Aprilaire media filters, and we regularly install Honeywell electronic air cleaners when a Savannah homeowner wants an upgrade after cleaning. We also stock common replacement parts for the systems we service, which means fewer return trips and faster turnaround when your Savannah home needs something beyond a cleaning. If your system uses a specifc filter size or media cabinet, we probably have it on the truck or can have it by the next service day.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Savannah Homes
- New-build construction dust in supply ducts: Savannah’s boom in new subdivisions means hundreds of homes with drywall dust and sawdust sealed into the ductwork. This fine gray powder settles on registers within days of cleaning them.
- Attic trunk lines in unconditioned attic space: Savannah’s slab-on-grade construction puts most ductwork in attics that hit 140°F in summer. The extreme heat bakes debris onto duct walls, and it takes real agitation to break it loose.
- Per-vent pricing surprises: Open-plan homes in Savannah often have 12 or more registers. A per-vent quote that sounds reasonable at the start becomes a shock at the end. We quote one flat price per system, always.
- Return-side neglect: Many Savannah homes have a single large return in a central hallway, and that return pulls dust, pet hair, and debris from the whole house. Some cleaning companies skip returns entirely. We never do.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Savannah
Every three to five years for most Savannah homes. New construction may need it sooner, sometimes within the first year, because builders don’t clean ducts before closing and construction debris sits in the system. Homes with pets, high pollen seasons, or recent renovation work may need cleaning every two to three years. If you haven’t seen the inside of your ducts, a camera inspection is the fastest way to know for sure, and it costs $95 to $225. Call (737) 727-2314 to schedule one.
Per system, always. One flat price for the entire system, agreed in writing before we start. We never charge per vent, and we never quote a teaser price that grows once the technician is on site. If a company quotes you per vent in Savannah, ask what the final number will be before they start, because 12 vents at a low per-vent rate adds up faster than most people expect. Our flat price covers every register, every return, the trunk line, the plenum, and the air handler.
Source removal, not just blowing air. We set up a HEPA-filtered vacuum to create negative pressure in the system, meaning any debris we dislodge goes straight into a containment unit, not into your house. Then we run rotary agitation tools through each duct line to break debris loose and carry it out. We clean every supply and return, the trunk, the plenum, and the air handler interior. Before and after photos of the same duct sections are part of every job, so you see exactly what changed. Call (737) 727-2314 and we’ll walk you through the exact process for your home’s layout.
Yes, in many cases. Savannah’s fast growth means new homes are often closed with construction debris still in the ducts: drywall dust, sawdust, and stray screws or drywall chunks. Builders aren’t required to clean ductwork before closing. We’ve cleaned two-year-old homes in Sienna and Savannah Heights where the homeowners were wiping fine gray dust off their registers every few days until we removed the source. If your home is under five years old and you see persistent dust, a camera inspection will tell you exactly what’s in there.
Usually not, because a proper cleaning is a scheduled job that takes three to five hours, not a 30-minute stop. We book Savannah cleans in advance so we can give you a trackable arrival window and enough time to do the whole system right. If you need an inspection first, we can often get that scheduled within a day or two. Call (737) 727-2314 and we’ll give you our next available windows for Savannah.
