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 Sunset
Air duct cleaning in Sunset, FL runs $390 – $690 for a full system on a typical three-bedroom home, and we arrive with a written price before a single duct is touched. No per-vent games. No price that shifts once the tech is standing at the door. If you live off SW 72nd Street, Miller Drive, or anywhere in the older Sunset subdivisions, you’re dealing with ductwork that’s likely been moving air through the same flex material since the Carter administration. Call (737) 727-2314 and we’ll tell you honestly whether your ducts need cleaning or not.
Most Sunset homes were built in the 1970s and 80s with builder-grade air handlers and flex duct that’s now four decades old. That changes the job. It means careful source removal, not a rushed brush through two visible registers. It means a camera inspection before anyone touches anything. It means before-and-after photos of your ducts, not a stock image from a franchise website. Our Air Duct Cleaning team works inside Sunset weekly, and we know exactly what’s lurking in those original runs.
Why Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning Is Sunset’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
Omar Haddad built Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning on a single standard: the customer sees everything. Every booking comes with a live trackable arrival time through The Relay Standard, background-checked technicians in uniform who tell you their name before you open the door, and a digital invoice you can pay from your phone. That’s what we mean when we say the Relay Visibility Guarantee applies to every job in Sunset, without exception.
Sunset homeowners call us because the older housing stock here punishes shortcuts. When a competitor skips the air handler or forgoes a camera inspection, the smell comes back in three weeks. When we clean a system off SW 117th Avenue or near Sunset Drive, we run negative-pressure extraction with HEPA filtration, photograph the coil before and after, and hand you a written report of what came out. Our 365-Day Done Right Promise backs every job for a full year: if the work isn’t right, we return and correct it at no charge. That’s the longest satisfaction window in the trade, and it applies to every booking, not select ones.
Air Duct Inspection in Sunset
Air Duct Inspection in Sunset is where every honest job starts, and we include it in every cleaning we perform. A full inspection runs $149 – $249 when booked as a standalone service. For Sunset homes with original 1970s-80s flex duct, the inspection matters more than the cleaning itself: it shows us whether the duct is intact or tearing, whether the register collars are sealed or leaking, and whether the air handler coil is coated in the gray film that causes that musty smell when the AC kicks on.
Camera Inspection Before Any Work
We run a high-resolution camera through your supply and return ducts and show you what we find on the spot. No guesswork, no fear-based upsell. If you don’t need a full cleaning, we’ll tell you that plainly and charge you only the inspection fee. Sunset’s older ductwork hides surprises – loose collars, disconnected boots, collapsed sections – and the camera makes them visible before the Rotobrush ever starts turning.
When Sunset Homeowners Should Inspect
You notice a musty or dusty smell when the air handler cycles on. You see visible dust puffing from registers. You just bought a Sunset home and the previous owner has no records. You’ve renovated recently and drywall dust has settled into the runs. Any of these, and a camera inspection is the right first step. Call (737) 727-2314 and we’ll schedule it.
Residential Air Duct Cleaning in Sunset
Residential Air Duct Cleaning in Sunset means source removal, not surface brushing, and we also offer Dryer Vent Cleaning in Sunset for complete home safety. We clean the full system: supply ducts, return ducts, registers, boots, plenum, blower motor, and evaporator coil. A typical three-bedroom Sunset home runs $390 – $690 depending on system size, number of zones, and how much the previous 40 years have left behind. The written price comes before any work starts, and it does not change at the door.
Full-System Source Removal
We use Rotobrush rotary brush systems to agitate debris from duct walls, paired with Nikro HEPA vacuums running negative-pressure extraction. That means the loosened dust goes straight into the vacuum, not back into your living room. For Sunset homes with heavy buildup or compromised flex duct, we add Abatement Technologies containment so dust never migrates into adjacent rooms. Coil and blower motor cleaning are part of the job – not an add-on, not an afterthought.
Before-and-After Proof
We photograph your ducts before we start and after we finish, and you get those photos in your digital report. You see the bare metal where a gray film had been. That’s the Relay Standard, and it’s the only honest way to prove the work was actually done in the parts of the system you can’t see.
Trusted Brands We Service in Sunset
Sunset homes run on a mix of legacy and modern equipment, and we carry parts for the brands we see here most. We service and clean systems using Honeywell filtration, Aprilaire whole-house filters, and Guardsman components, all stocked locally for fast turnaround when a Sunset job calls for a replacement or upgrade. If your system has an original builder filter slot that’s been ignored for years, we’ll bring it back to working order – and we’ll show you what we did. Parts delays don’t stall a Sunset job; our techs arrive with what they need for the common fixes in this housing stock, including Guardsman and Aprilaire filters that fit the original 1970s air handler footprints still running across Sunset Drive and the surrounding blocks.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Sunset Homes
- Per-vent pricing games that balloon at the door. A low teaser price suddenly triples once the tech counts your registers. We charge one flat price per system, written before any work starts. No exceptions, no add-ons for “extra access.”
- Air handler and blower motor skipped entirely. Some crews brush the visible registers and call it done. The coil stays coated in grime, the musty smell returns, and you’ve paid for a superficial service. We clean the full path: ducts, coil, blower, boots, registers.
- No camera, no photos, no proof. If there’s no before-and-after documentation, you have no way to know if source removal actually happened or if a truck just ran a shop vac over two vents. Our camera inspection and photo report are standard on every Sunset job.
- Same-day promises on aging flex duct. Sunset’s original 1970s flex duct tears easily under aggressive brushing. A rushed same-day job on that old material risks damage and incomplete removal. We schedule properly, work carefully, and back the result for 365 days.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Sunset
Every four to six years for most Sunset homes, assuming no recent renovation, no smokers, no pets with heavy dander, and no visible dust blowing from registers. The original 1970s-80s flex duct common off SW 72nd Street and Miller Drive holds dust differently than newer rigid systems, so if your home hasn’t been cleaned in a decade or more, you’re overdue. Call (737) 727-2314 and we’ll help you assess honestly.
One flat price per system, written on paper and agreed before any work starts. We never charge per vent. The quote you approve is the price you pay – it includes every supply and return register, the boots, the plenum, the air handler, blower motor, and coil. No counting registers at the door and springing a surprise invoice. Estimates are free from (737) 727-2314.
A camera inspection first, visible to you on our screen. Then source removal with Rotobrush rotary brushes and Nikro HEPA vacuum extraction under negative pressure, with Abatement Technologies containment where the system demands it. Air handler, blower motor, coil, boots, and registers all cleaned. Afterward, before-and-after photos of your own ducts are delivered in your report. The whole process on a typical Sunset three-bedroom takes four to six hours. Call (737) 727-2314 to schedule.
We schedule by appointment, not by driving a truck into Sunset and hoping. Rush work on aging flex duct is exactly how ducts get torn and jobs get left incomplete, which then require a return visit anyway. We’ll get you on the schedule quickly – often within days – and you’ll have a live trackable arrival window through The Relay Standard so you’ll know exactly when we’re coming. Call (737) 727-2314 to check availability.
Yes, it changes everything. Original 1970s-80s flex duct is more fragile than modern insulated duct, so aggressive brushing can tear it. A homeowner near SW 117th Avenue and 72nd Street called us after noticing a musty smell from the supply and return ducts whenever the air handler kicked on; our tech ran a camera inspection, found 40 years of dust and a loose collar leaking at a register, performed source removal with negative pressure and HEPA filtration, and re-sealed the register boot. The before-and-after photos of their own ducts showed bare metal where a gray film had been. That’s the standard Sunset’s older housing stock demands. Call (737) 727-2314 and we’ll inspect yours the same way.
