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.

AfterFast, Reliable Air Duct Cleaning Across Schertz
Air duct cleaning in Schertz typically costs $450 – $750 for a full residential system, and the job takes roughly half a day. Most homes in Schertz need it every 4 to 6 years, though the 2000s-era flexible duct runs common near Wiederstein Ranch and along Roy Richard Drive often fill with construction dust and attic insulation far sooner. Our crews know these neighborhoods, and we quote one flat price per system before any work starts. Call (737) 727-2314 for a written estimate.
We work throughout Schertz, from Ashley Place to the subdivisions off Schwab Road, and we know what hides inside the ducts of houses built during the I-35 boom: drywall dust, blown-in insulation, and the fine caliche grit that rises off Central Texas roads. Air Duct Cleaning is not a mystery process, but it does need to be done correctly. That means agitation, negative-pressure extraction, and camera proof. You should never guess whether the job was done.
Why Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning Is Schertz’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
Schertz homeowners keep calling us for a simple reason: we hand them a written price before a single register is pulled. No per-vent math at the door. No “while we’re in here” add-ons. The price you approve is the price you pay. That alone separates us from most duct cleaners running ads in this area.
We are led by Omar Haddad, and every tech who arrives at a Schertz door is background-checked, uniformed, and carrying professional-grade equipment: Rotobrush rotary brush systems, Nikro HEPA vacuums, and Abatement Technologies containment units. You will know your technician’s name before they ring the bell. That is the Relay Standard, and it applies to every booking in Schertz without exception.
Our work here is backed by the 365-Day Done Right Promise. If the work isn’t right within a full year, we return and correct it at no charge. No fine print, no exclusions for “certain jobs.” Every repair also carries a written guarantee, and if that repair fails, the second visit is free. Schertz homeowners deserve that level of accountability.
Air Duct Cleaning Services in Schertz
Air Duct Cleaning Services in Schertz means exactly what it sounds like: we clean the full interior of your supply and return ductwork, the trunk lines, and the registers. But we do not stop there. We also clean the blower motor, the evaporator coil, and the air handler cabinet, because a clean duct connected to a dirty blower is a job half done. A full system cleaning for a typical two-story Schertz home runs $550 – $750. We also offer Dryer Vent Cleaning - Schertz for homes that want the full treatment.
Residential Duct Cleaning
Most Schertz homes we clean are single-family houses built between 2000 and 2015. These homes often have flexible duct runs in the attic that sag, pinch, and collect dust at a rate that surprises homeowners. Our residential cleaning includes camera inspection before and after, so you see exactly what got removed and confirm nothing collapsed during cleaning.
Supply and Return Duct Cleaning
The supply ducts push conditioned air into your rooms; the return ducts pull air back to the air handler. Both sides need cleaning. In Schertz, we frequently find return ducts loaded with pet hair, candle soot, and the fine caliche dust that settles on every surface within a mile of I-35. We clean both runs under negative pressure, which means loosened debris goes straight into the HEPA vacuum instead of back into your living room.

HVAC Duct Cleaning in Schertz
HVAC Duct Cleaning in Schertz covers the entire air-moving system: ductwork, plenums, coils, blower, and filter housing. When a Schertz homeowner tells us the filter clogs within weeks or certain rooms never reach the thermostat temperature, the problem is usually not the unit itself. It is the ductwork choking on years of accumulated dust and debris. A typical HVAC duct cleaning here runs $500 – $700, depending on system size and access.
Full System Cleaning
A full system cleaning addresses every component that air touches between the return grille and the supply register. Our techs remove the blower assembly, clean the fan blades with compressed air and soft brushes, and wipe down the evaporator coil with an approved cleaner. This is where the real airflow improvements come from in older Schertz homes, particularly those near the Cibolo Creek floodplain where humidity keeps duct interiors damp and sticky.
Video Inspection
Every Schertz job we perform includes video inspection. Before cleaning, the camera identifies collapsed flex runs, disconnected joints, and heavy buildup. After cleaning, the same camera proves the interior is clear. If you have never seen inside your ducts, you are paying blind. That is not how we operate.
Trusted Brands We Service in Schertz
Our techs are trained on every major HVAC and filtration brand, so your clean ducts stay clean longer. We commonly work with Honeywell filtration systems, Aprilaire whole-house air cleaners, and Guardsman products. If you run a Nikro HEPA system or an Abatement Technologies containment setup, we are already familiar with the equipment. Schertz customers do not have to wait for special parts: we stock the filters, grilles, and components that match the most common systems in this area, from units installed off FM 1518 to the newer builds near Cibolo Creek.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Schertz Homes
- Construction dust from the 2000s building boom. Homes built near Wiederstein Ranch and the subdivisions off Roy Richard Drive often still have drywall dust and sawdust inside the ducts from the original build, especially if the builder left registers uncovered during construction.
- Collapsed flex ducts in attics. Flexible duct runs in Schertz attics can sag and kink under our summer heat, restricting airflow and trapping debris. A camera inspection finds these quickly.
- Caliche dust from surrounding roads. The fine limestone-based dust common in this part of Guadalupe County enters homes through door seals and windows, then settles in the return ducts. It compacts over time and reduces airflow.
- Pet hair and dander buildup in returns. Schertz families have dogs. Labrador retrievers, shepherds, and the occasional very opinionated cat all shed. Return ducts become fur-lined within a few years, and airflow drops noticeably.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Schertz, TX
For a standard single-system home in Schertz, expect to pay between $450 and $750 for a complete air duct cleaning. The price depends on the number of returns, the total linear feet of ductwork, whether the attic access is a tight crawl or a standing-height space, and whether the blower and coil need extra attention. We quote one flat price per system. You approve it before we begin, and it does not change at the door. Nobody charges per vent here. That bait-and-switch tactic is common in this market, and it is precisely what we refuse to do. Call (737) 727-2314 for a free, exact estimate with no obligation.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Schertz
Every 4 to 6 years for most Schertz homes, but newer construction from the 2000s and 2010s often needs it sooner. If you see dust accumulating on registers within weeks of replacing a filter, your ducts are telling you something. Call (737) 727-2314 and we will help you figure out if cleaning is actually warranted.
One price for the whole system, always. We quote a flat rate after seeing your home and measuring the system, and that price is in writing before any work starts. Per-vent pricing is how Schertz homeowners get surprised with a $300 invoice that started as a $49 coupon.
We run a rotating brush through every supply and return run to break debris loose, then pull it out under negative pressure with a HEPA-rated Nikro vacuum. The containment unit keeps loosened dust from drifting back into your living spaces. We clean the registers, blower motor, and coil, then run a camera through to show you the result.
Yes. Every job includes before-and-after camera footage of your actual ductwork, not a stock photo. You will see what we found and what we removed. If you cannot see the proof, you cannot verify the work.
