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 Tice
Air duct cleaning in Tice, FL typically runs $395 – $695 for a whole-home system, and the right company agrees to that price before the van ever shows up. If you live off Palm Beach Boulevard, along 33905, or in one of the older ranch neighborhoods near the agricultural land east of I-75, you’re dealing with a specific kind of duct contamination: fine silt that blows in from open fields and settles deep in your supply runs. We clean the entire system for one flat price, not by the vent. Call (737) 727-2314 for a written quote before any work begins.
Why Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning Is Tice’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
We’re part of the Relay Home Co. family, founded 2005, and every Tice booking runs on The Relay Standard: a live arrival window you can track, before-and-after photos of your own ducts, and a digital invoice you can pay from your phone. No four-hour windows. No wondering who’s actually showing up. Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and you’ll know their name before they open the door.
Tice homes are mostly single-story ranches and older builds where the air handler sits in a tight closet or a garage alcove. That’s a job a lot of duct cleaners skip because it takes time. We don’t. When Omar Haddad sends a crew to Tice, the air handler and blower motor are part of the flat price. We also run Rotobrush agitation tools and Nikro HEPA extraction units, not a shop vac, because the silt around here laughs at a shop vac. Read the reviews from Lee County customers and you’ll see the same thread: price didn’t move, tech showed up on time, and the before-and-after photos proved the work.
Air Duct Cleaning Services in Tice
Air Duct Cleaning Services in Tice mean more than brushing out the visible register boxes. A real cleaning opens every supply and return run, sets up negative pressure so loosened debris goes straight into a HEPA-filtered vacuum and not back into your living room, then cleans the air handler cabinet and blower wheel. Here’s what that looks like for a typical Tice home.
Residential Duct Cleaning
Most standard residential cleanings in Tice run $395 – $695 for one HVAC system, depending on home size and duct layout. That’s the flat price you get in writing before we start. No per-vent math, no door-knock adjustment.
Video Inspection Before and After
Every Tice job includes video inspection so you see exactly what’s in the ducts, and then what’s gone. We use Abatement Technologies containment where needed and show you the footage on our tablet before we pack up.

HVAC Duct Cleaning in Tice
HVAC Duct Cleaning in Tice is the full-system service most homes here actually need: air handler, blower motor, supply plenum, return drops, and the full run of metal or flex duct. When a Tice homeowner tells us the AC runs but the house never cools evenly, the answer is usually a blower wheel packed with a gray fibrous mat of carpet lint and field silt. We clean the whole path.
Supply and Return Duct Cleaning
Supply runs push conditioned air out; return runs pull air back to the handler. Both collect different debris. We clean both in the same visit, under the same flat price, and we check static pressure before and after to confirm airflow actually improved.
Full System Cleaning
A full system cleaning in Tice costs more than a vent-only job because it includes everything: coils where accessible, blower motor, housing, plenums, and all runs. Figure $595 – $895 for a larger home or a system with two returns and long trunk lines. This is the service that turns a noisy, underperforming AC back into a quiet one.
Trusted Brands We Service in Tice
We work on all major residential equipment found in Lee County homes: Rheem, Carrier, Trane, Goodman, Lennox, and Bryant, plus duct board and flex systems of every era. Because so many Tice homes run Goodman or Rheem air handlers from the past 15 years, our techs stock common filters, access panels, and sealants for those units, which means fewer second trips and faster turnarounds. When the ductwork itself needs repair, we use Guardsman products for sealing and filtration upgrades.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Tice Homes
- Silt-packed blower wheels. Homes near the agricultural land east of I-75 pull fine airborne silt straight through the filter. It packs the squirrel-cage wheel until the motor strains and the airflow drops off a cliff.
- Return registers whistling in 1980s ranches. Decades of lint and silt narrow the return path. The system has to pull harder, and the register starts singing.
- Sealed-closet air handlers skipped by other companies. Tice HVAC closets are notoriously tight. A company doing a per-vent clean will skip the handler entirely because it’s slow. The house looks “clean” and nothing changes.
- Aluminum flex duct crush damage. In older Tice homes, flex runs get flattened by attic storage or critters in the soffits. A cleaning reveals it; we then show you the video and quote a repair in writing before touching anything.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Tice, FL
A standard single-system residential duct cleaning in Tice runs $395 – $695. That includes the air handler, blower motor, and all supply and return runs, plus before-and-after photo documentation. A larger home with two systems or long trunk lines lands in the $595 – $895 range. The price is written, flat, and agreed before we arrive; it does not change at the door, and we never charge per vent as an add-on. What affects the quote? Square footage, number of returns, access to the air handler, and how many years of buildup we’re dealing with. Call (737) 727-2314 and we’ll give you an honest number over the phone, then send it in writing.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Tice
You need it if you see dust settling on vents within days of wiping them, if rooms heat unevenly, if the air handler makes a straining noise, or if a video inspection shows matted debris on the blower wheel or inside supply runs. A visible dust line at a register is often a sign, but not every home needs an annual clean, and we’ll tell you honestly if yours doesn’t need it yet. Call (737) 727-2314 and we’ll walk through what to look for before you spend a dollar.
Per system, always. One flat price for the entire HVAC system: air handler, blower motor, supply runs, return runs. We never charge per vent and never upsell a “sanitizing” package once we’re in the house. The written price is the price. Call (737) 727-2314 for a quote on your Tice home.
We run Rotobrush rotary brush systems paired with Nikro HEPA extraction vacuums, with Abatement Technologies containment where needed. That combination converts the duct into a negative-pressure zone and pulls loosened debris out rather than stirring it into the living space. The gear matters here given how fine the silt is around Tice. Call (737) 727-2314 and ask us anything about the process.
Most Tice homes need a full cleaning every three to five years, not annually. The silt load from surrounding open land shortens that window for some homes in the 33905 corridor, especially if the AC runs ten months a year. We’ll show you video evidence before recommending any frequency. Call (737) 727-2314 and we’ll give you an honest read over the phone.
Scheduling runs on a live calendar booked by our office team, so we can often get a Tice appointment within a few days, but we don’t promise same-day service. Duct cleaning is a scheduled half-day job, not an emergency dispatch. Call (737) 727-2314 and our team will give you the earliest real arrival window, live and trackable.
If you live in Tice, FL and want a real duct cleaning with a written flat price, before-and-after photos of your own ducts, and a 365-day guarantee, call us at (737) 727-2314 today. We’ll send you the price in writing before any work starts, and you can book, track, and pay entirely from your phone.
