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 Edison, NJ
Air duct cleaning in Edison, NJ typically runs $450 – $750 for a standard single-system home, and most jobs are completed in 3 – 5 hours. What makes Edison work different from neighboring towns is the mix of 1950s – 1970s split-levels and newer developments near the Menlo Park Mall corridor, plus the pollen and humidity cycles we get from the Raritan River basin. We’re Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning, part of the Relay Home Co. family, and we do this work every day with professional-grade equipment, not shop-vac shortcuts. Call (737) 727-2314 and you’ll get a written price before we touch a single vent.
Why Edison Homes Are Different
Edison’s housing stock runs the full spectrum: brick ranch homes in Clara Barton, colonials in North Edison, and newer construction off Route 1. That matters because older ductwork in those 1960s ranches was often sized for original heating loads and never upgraded after central air was added. In those homes we regularly see fiberglass-lined duct board from the era that sheds particles into the airflow over decades.
The township’s position along the Raritan River means summer humidity works its way into the duct system. In neighborhoods like Woodbrook Corners and Pumptown, we find that return ducts pulled damp air through unsealed joints for years, leaving dark gray film inside the trunks. That’s what you’re breathing when the AC kicks on in July. Newer homes off New Durham Road and Vineyard Road have their own pattern: construction dust from the build cycle, drywall particulates, and occasionally a stray piece of debris left by the HVAC crew. Some Edison HOAs – especially in the newer townhome communities – require written confirmation that a licensed contractor completed maintenance work. Our invoices and before-and-after photos cover that neatly.
Our Main Edison Services
Edison homeowners call us most about two things: dryer vent hazards and whole-system air duct cleaning. HVAC cleaning closes the gap when the blower and coils need attention too. Here’s what each job looks like around Edison.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Edison
Lint accumulation in dryer vent lines is one of the most common preventable fire hazards we deal with in Edison homes, especially in older laundry rooms where the vent run is long or takes multiple turns through the wall. We dislodge the built-up lint with a rotating brush, then run a Nikro HEPA vacuum to pull every bit of it out of the line, not just push it to the exterior flap. Edison’s allergen season makes this a twice-a-year job for families with pets. Full details, including pricing for typical vent runs around Edison, are on our Dryer Vent Cleaning in Edison page.
Air Duct Cleaning in Edison
We clean supply and return duct runs, registers, grilles, and the main trunk lines using a Rotobrush rotary brush system matched with negative-pressure extraction – that means the loosened debris goes straight into the vacuum, not back into your living room. In Edison homes, the dirt we pull out is a mix of pollen, pet dander, dust mites, and decades of skin cell shed, occasionally with construction debris if you’ve renovated. Every job includes before-and-after photos. Pricing for different home sizes across Edison, plus what we include in a standard cleaning, is on the Air Duct Cleaning in Edison page.
HVAC Cleaning in Edison
HVAC cleaning covers the blower motor, evaporator coil, and secondary heat exchanger – the components buried inside your air handler where the real airflow restriction happens. In Edison, summer cooling loads run from May through September, so a coil caked with three years of hardened dust makes your system work harder and cost more to run. We use coil-safe cleaners and HEPA filtration, and we finish with a Guardsman antimicrobial treatment where appropriate. The full scope and what we charge for different system types around Edison is on the HVAC Cleaning in Edison page.
