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.

AfterAir Duct Cleaning Company in Delray Beach, FL
Air duct cleaning in Delray Beach costs between $285 and $540 for a standard whole-home system, and most jobs are done in a single afternoon. We’re Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning, and we serve Delray Beach homeowners who’d rather know the exact price before a single vent cover comes off. The ocean air, the salt, the humidity, and the age of Delray Beach’s housing stock all play into how quickly dust, sand, and debris collect inside your ductwork. If your vents are blowing musty air or you’re dusting surfaces twice a week, call us at (737) 727-2314 for a free estimate.
Why Delray Beach Homes Are Different
Delray Beach is not a single housing type. East of I-95, you have homes built in the 1950s and ’60s near the ocean, where the original ductwork is often untouched or patched over decades. West of I-95, you have newer construction in communities around Lake Ida and the Polo Grounds area. Those homes have their own problem: construction debris from the build itself, left inside the ducts before drywall dust ever had a chance to settle. The salt-laden Atlantic air east of US-1 accelerates corrosion on older metal ducts and keeps humidity high, which is exactly the condition that turns a little bit of dust into a musty smell that spreads through every room. Homes in the Nassau Park and Seagate neighborhoods, especially the older ranches, tend to have short, convoluted duct runs that hold more debris than you’d expect. The result is that two homes of the same square footage in Delray Beach, one off Linton Boulevard and one just west of 441, can have very different cleaning needs. Anyone who treats them identically is guessing.
Our Main Delray Beach Services
Most Delray Beach homeowners call us for one of two reasons: a dryer vent that is not doing its job, or air duct cleaning that goes deeper than a shop-vac job. Each service has its own Delray Beach page where you’ll find the full detail.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Delray Beach
Dryer vents in Delray Beach fill with lint quickly, and the humidity makes that lint stick to the inside of the vent pipe rather than blow through. When the vent is partially blocked, your dryer runs longer, clothes come out damp, and the motor works harder than it should. We clean the full vent run from the dryer connection to the exterior outlet, removing the compacted lint and checking the termination point for blockages. Homes in the Lake Ida corridor often have long horizontal vent runs that are particularly prone to buildup. Read the full breakdown on our Dryer Vent Cleaning in Delray Beach page.
Air Duct Cleaning in Delray Beach
Our most requested service in Delray Beach involves negative-pressure extraction, which means the debris loosened from your ductwork goes straight into a Nikro HEPA filtration unit, not back into your living room. We clean supply and return ducts, boots, and registers, and we document everything with before-and-after photos. The age of coastal Delray Beach homes means we often find sand and salt residue mixed in with household dust, especially in homes east of Federal Highway. That combination is abrasive on older duct liner. See exactly what the job includes on our Air Duct Cleaning in Delray Beach page.
HVAC Cleaning in Delray Beach
HVAC cleaning in Delray Beach targets the components that handle air every single day: the blower motor, the evaporator coil, the drain pan, and the plenum. In a humid climate, a dirty coil loses efficiency, which means your air conditioner runs longer to hit the same temperature. That is a bigger deal in Delray Beach than almost anywhere else in the country, because your AC runs for most of the year. We clean the entire air handler and document the coil condition before and after. The full scope is on our HVAC Cleaning in Delray Beach page.

What pushes a Delray Beach job toward the higher end is access. Homes east of I-95 with tight attic spaces, older ductwork that needs careful handling, or longer vent runs to the exterior all add labor time. The price we quote is the price you pay: a written figure handed to you before any work starts, and it does not change at the door.

HOAs in Delray Beach do not regulate them, and no permit is required anywhere in the city.
