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.

Call (737) 727-2314 for a written quote before any work begins.
Why Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning Is Wellington’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
Wellington homeowners have a specific expectation when a service truck pulls up: they want to know who’s at the door, what it’s going to cost, and what exactly gets done. That’s what we deliver. Every technician is background-checked and arrives in uniform, and you’ll know their name before they ring the bell. We don’t do vague estimates or a price that shifts once the van is parked on your paver driveway.
Our reputation across Wellington comes from the Relay Visibility Guarantee. That means a live trackable arrival window, before-and-after photographs of the actual work performed, and a digital invoice you can pay from your phone. Reviews from Wellington customers consistently mention the flat price agreed before work starts and the fact that our techs don’t rush registers just to hit a quota. As part of the Relay Home Co. family founded in 2005, we’re held to standards most independent duct cleaners don’t have to meet. Omar Haddad leads the team, and he’s built the operation around one idea: if the work isn’t right, we come back and make it right. That’s the 365-Day Done Right Promise, and it covers every booking without exception.
Residential Air Duct Cleaning in Wellington
Residential Air Duct Cleaning in Wellington means treating the entire system, not just the visible vents. A proper job starts with a camera inspection of your supply and return trunk lines, then we run a Rotobrush agitation system through the ducts while a Nikro HEPA-filtered negative-pressure vacuum runs at the air handler. Negative-pressure extraction means the loosened debris goes straight into the vacuum, not back into your living room. Most standard Wellington homes fall in the $425 to $675 range for a complete system cleaning.
Wellington’s housing stock splits sharply between 1980s-90s equestrian-corridor homes and the early-2000s build-out west of SR 7, so duct systems here range from original flex duct in older attics to newer rigid trunk-and-branch. Two identical-looking Wellington houses a mile apart often need completely different cleaning approaches. We build the process around what the camera shows us, not a generic checklist.
Camera Inspection First
Every residential job begins with a video inspection of the main trunk line and branch runs. For homes in the 33414 ZIP, especially older sections near South Shore Boulevard, we’re looking for collapsed flex duct, separated joints, or buildup that a surface pass would never address. You see the footage before we touch anything.
Full System Approach
We clean the supply side, the return side, the trunk line, and the air handler compartment. A lot of companies in Palm Beach County skip the return ducts entirely because they’re harder to reach. We don’t. If debris stays in the return, it recontaminates the supply within weeks.
Commercial Air Duct Cleaning in Wellington
Commercial Air Duct Cleaning in Wellington covers office buildings, medical practices, retail spaces, and the equestrian facilities that define this community. These systems run longer hours than residential units, which means more debris cycling through the ductwork and faster filter loading. Commercial cleanings in Wellington typically run $900 to $2,400 depending on square footage, number of rooftop units, and access complexity.
We work around business hours, not through them. Our teams use Abatement Technologies containment units where necessary to keep the workspace clean while we run the Rotobrush system through the supply and return runs. The goal is a clean air stream without interrupting your operation.
Equestrian and Barn Facilities
Wellington’s equestrian venues and private barns have unique duct challenges. Hay dust, shaving particles, and arena dirt all get pulled into HVAC intakes. We’ve cleaned systems at commercial equestrian properties where the return duct carried a visible layer of fine dust that standard filter changes never touched.
Office and Retail Spaces
For offices along Forest Hill Boulevard and the SR 7 corridor, we schedule cleanings around your business hours. Written pricing comes first, and the digital invoice arrives by link when the job is done. No paper chase, no surprise charges.
Trusted Brands We Service in Wellington
Our technicians work with every major HVAC brand found in Wellington homes, and we stock commonly needed parts locally for fast turnaround on Aprilaire filtration upgrades and Guardsman UV treatments. The equipment we run is professional-grade: Rotobrush for rotary brush agitation, Nikro for HEPA filtration at the vacuum point, and Abatement Technologies for containment when a job calls for it. We also install and service Honeywell whole-home filtration products. Whatever system is in your Wellington home, we service it, clean it, and document the work with before-and-after photos of your actual ducts.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Wellington Homes
- Surface-pass cleaning that leaves the trunk line untouched. We regularly see Wellington homes where a previous company cleaned only the visible register boots. The main trunk line and air handler compartment still held years of accumulation. We recently worked a home in the Binks Forest area where the homeowner had been paying a national franchise per-vent for years; our tech ran a camera inspection and found the supply and return ducts had never had true source removal, just a surface pass. We set up negative pressure, ran agitation tools through the main trunk, and showed the homeowner before-and-after photographs of their own ducts, including the blower motor compartment that had collected a visible lint pathway.
- Collapsed or separated flex duct in older attics. Homes along the Greenview Shores and Aero Club corridors date to the 1980s, and original flex duct can sag, crush, or pull apart in the attic heat. No amount of cleaning fixes a separated duct. Our camera inspection catches this, and we tell you straight what needs repair versus what needs cleaning.
- Dust rebound within days of a cleaning. This usually means the return side was skipped or the air handler wasn’t touched. Debris left in the return recontaminates every supply run. In Wellington’s humid climate, that returns quickly, especially during summer when the AC runs nonstop.
- Per-vent pricing that rushes the job. When a company charges by the vent, their tech has every reason to rush each register. The trunk line gets ignored, HEPA verification never happens, and you overpay for a partial job. We charge one flat price per system, agreed before work starts.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Wellington, FL
A standard single-family residential duct cleaning in Wellington runs $425 to $675 for a home up to about 2,500 square feet with one HVAC system. Larger homes, homes with two systems, or homes in western Wellington with longer duct runs typically fall between $675 and $825.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Wellington
Every 3 to 5 years for most Wellington homes, but that’s an honest range, not a sales target. If you changed your filters regularly, don’t have pets, and haven’t done renovations, you might go longer. If you have horses nearby, dogs in the house, or your older Wellington home has original flex duct that has never been inspected, you’re probably due now. The camera inspection tells us the truth, and if your ducts genuinely don’t need cleaning, we’ll tell you that and leave. Call (737) 727-2314 to schedule an inspection.
One flat price per system, agreed before we start, and it does not change at the door. We don’t do per-vent pricing because it rewards rushing and punishes larger homes. Your written quote covers the entire system: supply runs, return runs, trunk line, and air handler compartment. No add-ons mid-job.
It starts with a camera inspection of the main trunk and branch lines, which you watch with us. Then we run a Rotobrush agitation system through the ductwork while a Nikro HEPA vacuum pulls negative pressure at the air handler, so loosened debris exits directly into the vacuum. We finish with the air handler compartment and blower motor, then show you before-and-after photographs of your own ducts. The whole job typically takes 3 to 5 hours for a standard single-family home.
Original flex duct in older Wellington homes can collapse, sag, or separate at joints, especially after decades of South Florida attic heat. If a section has separated, air you’re paying to condition leaks into the attic instead of reaching your rooms. Our camera inspection finds this, and we’ll show you the footage. If it’s a repair, you get a written guarantee on the work and a free second visit if the repair fails within 365 days.
We schedule Wellington jobs throughout the week and can often get a crew to you within a day or two, but we don’t promise same-day service. We won’t compress a proper cleaning into a rushed slot just to hit a calendar target. A full system cleaning done right takes time, and we protect that time for every Wellington customer. Call (737) 727-2314 and our live dispatcher will find the soonest solid opening for you.
