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 Sunrise
Air duct cleaning in Sunrise costs $450 – $850 for a typical single-family home, with the work completed in a single visit. The price depends on home size and how many systems you have, but you’ll know your number before we start: one flat price per system, written down, agreed to before any duct is touched. That’s the Cardinal standard, and it holds across every Sunrise neighborhood we serve, from Weston-skirting gated communities to the older subdivisions off University Drive.
We’re the Air Duct Cleaning specialists of the Relay Home Co. family, and we take Sunrise’s older housing stock seriously. Call (737) 727-2314 and a live person answers, not a voicemail loop. Tell us your address, square footage, and whether it’s a single or multi-system home, and we’ll walk you through the process before you ever see a calendar.
Why Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning Is Sunrise’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
Homeowners in Sunrise look for two things: someone who knows the homes here, and someone who won’t waste their afternoon. Our techs run routes through Sunrise weekly. They know the difference between a Welleby two-story and a golf-course ranch north of Oakland Park Boulevard, and they know what that means for your ducts.
Reviews from Sunrise customers keep pointing to the same things: the tech’s name photo arrives before the job, the written price doesn’t move, and the before-and-after photos prove the work. That’s The Relay Standard at work. Every booking includes a live trackable arrival window, photo documentation of the actual cleaning, and a digital invoice you can pay from your phone. No four-hour windows, no “oh by the way” line items.
Omar Haddad leads our team with one rule: if the work isn’t right within 365 days, we come back and make it right. That’s the 365-Day Done Right Promise, and it applies to every Sunrise job without exception. No fine print, no carve-outs.
Ductwork Cleaning in Sunrise
Ductwork cleaning in Sunrise homes typically runs $400 – $750 per system, and the flat quote is written before we open a single register. The job involves agitating the full trunk line and branch runs, then extracting everything under negative pressure with a HEPA-filtered vacuum parked at the air handler. That means the debris goes into the vacuum, not back into your living room. In Sunrise, the job matters more than in most metro areas because our humid climate turns normal dust into a sticky film inside cooling ducts. Add pet dander and construction dust from the constant infill development west of Nob Hill Road, and the stuff caked near the coil isn’t just ugly. It’s recirculating.
What Sunrise ranch homes need
Slab-on-grade homes from the 1970s through the 1990s make up a big chunk of Sunrise. Those runs were mostly flex-only or galvanized with an air handler at one end. Without a real source-removal pull, the harder dust just stays behind.
Supply and return runs
Sunrise techs routinely find a return run collapsed or pinched where a prior HVAC changeout left the flex loose. We re-strap what’s loose and clean what’s intact before we call the job done.
Air Duct Inspection in Sunrise
Air duct inspection in Sunrise costs $150 – $250 as a standalone service, and it’s the first thing we do on every cleaning job at no extra charge. We feed a camera into the trunk line and branch runs, looking for rust, collapsed flex, moisture spots, and any section that’s just not moving air. In Sunrise, inspection matters because the duct runs were installed decades ago and have often been spliced into by a half-dozen HVAC techs since.
Camera verification
We rope one of our hand-held cameras straight into the trunk line after the air handler. You see what we see. If there’s a problem, we show you the footage and give you a repair-or-leave-it recommendation with a price.
When we tell Sunrise homeowners to skip cleaning
Sometimes the honest answer is that the ducts don’t need cleaning yet, and we say so. If the duct walls are clean and the coil is fine, we’ll tell you to save your money. Omar has built the team around that kind of straight answer, because it’s what builds a local reputation in Sunrise that actually lasts.
Trusted Brands We Service in Sunrise
We run professional-grade equipment on every Sunrise job, not a truck-mounted shop vac with a rotating brush strapped to it. Our crews use Nikro HEPA-filtered extraction units for negative-pressure source removal and Abatement Technologies containment units when the job calls for sealed work zones. For filtration, we stock and install Aprilaire media filters and Honeywell electronic air cleaners to keep the system breathing after cleaning. We stock common filter sizes and replacement flex for Sunrise homes, so most add-on requests from a Sunrise job are handled same-visit, not scheduled two weeks out.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Sunrise Homes
- Collapsed flex runs in older ranch homes. Where a 1980s home got a new air handler in 2010, the splice often left the flex pinched against a truss. The master bedroom never cools, and no amount of filter changes fixes it.
- Rust flaking off galvanized trunk lines. Sunrise’s high humidity means interior condensation inside older galvanized pipe, and the rust flakes end up blowing out of the registers.
- Construction dust from infill development. Whole neighborhoods west of University Drive have been built out in recent years, and the dust from those job sites drifts into nearby duct systems through open windows and slab cracks.
- Return runs pulling from the garage or laundry. A lot of Sunrise homes have a return that was punched into the garage or near the water heater. That pulls chemical vapors and lint into the airstream, and it needs to be sealed, not just cleaned.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Sunrise, FL
A standard full-system duct cleaning in Sunrise runs $450 – $850 for a single-family home with one air handler. Two-system homes run $800 – $1,200. Ductwork cleaning alone, without the air handler coil, typically lands between $400 and $750. Video inspection is $150 – $250 as a standalone, and free when bundled with a cleaning.
We quote per system, not per vent. You get one written number before work starts, and it doesn’t change when the tech steps inside. The price covers the full trunk line, all branch runs, the return, the supply plenum, and the blower compartment. Free estimates by phone at (737) 727-2314, with no pushy follow-up.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Sunrise
Every 4 to 6 years for most Sunrise homes, and more often if you have pets, smokers in the house, or a recent remodel. Homes near active construction zones west of University Drive may need it sooner. If your ducts were cleaned properly within the last 3 years and your filters are changed regularly, you probably don’t need it yet. Call (737) 727-2314 and we’ll ask the right questions before recommending anything.
Per system, never per vent. The per-vent game is how bait-and-switch pricing works: a low per-vent teaser that balloons once the tech counts every register in your Sunrise home. We give you one flat number for the whole system, written down, before any work begins. That number doesn’t move.
We agitate the trunk and branch runs with a rotating brush, then extract everything under negative pressure through a HEPA-filtered vacuum at the air handler. We clean the return, the supply plenum, and the blower compartment as part of the system price. Before-and-after photos are part of every booking, so you can see what came out and what got cleaned. It’s not a “whisk it with a broom” job.
Yes, and we encourage you to add it. Dryer vent cleaning is a separate service but we can do it in the same visit, usually for $99 – $150 in Sunrise. We’ll show you the lint volume we pulled and send the before-and-after photos to your phone the same day.
Sometimes, but not always. If the weak airflow comes from a collapsed flex run or a pinched return, cleaning alone won’t fix it. That’s why inspection matters. In Sunrise’s Sunrise Golf Village area, our tech pulled a supply register in a 1985 ranch and found the flex run crushed flat against a truss where a prior HVAC swap had left it pinched. The master bedroom never got air. After we ran an agitation tool through the trunk under negative pressure with HEPA filtration and re-strapped the run, the homeowner called back a week later to say the room finally cooled. If you have a weak-airflow room, call (737) 727-2314 and we’ll camera-inspect before quoting anything.
