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 Gahanna, OH
Air duct cleaning in Gahanna runs $380 – $620 for a typical single-family home, with most jobs finished in a morning. Gahanna’s housing stock ranges from 1970s ranches near the creek corridors to newer builds off Hamilton Road, and the mix means no two duct systems carry the same load of construction dust, pet dander, or pollen. At Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning, we’re part of the Relay Home Co. family, and we work on a written price before any work starts. Call (737) 727-2314 and you’ll get a direct answer, not a callback loop.
Why Gahanna Homes Are Different
Gahanna sits in a shallow valley along Big Walnut Creek, and that geography shapes what collects inside ductwork. Homes here pull in a lot of hardwood pollen and creek-bottom humidity through the spring, then close up tight for Ohio winters. Older neighborhoods like Hunters Ridge and Founders Ridge tend to have narrower return-air drops and flex ducts that have been pinched or crushed over decades. Newer subdivisions off Morse Road and Havens Corners Road are sealed tighter, which is good for efficiency but means cooking grease, candle soot, and pet hair recirculate instead of leaking out. We also see a lot of Gahanna homes with finished basements, where the duct runs are buried behind drywall ceilings and need negative-pressure extraction, meaning the loosened debris goes straight into the Nikro HEPA vacuum rather than back into your living room.
Our Main Gahanna Services
Gahanna homeowners call us most for two things: dryer vent cleaning on older laundry rooms with long vertical runs, and full air duct cleaning on systems that haven’t been opened since the house was built. Each service has its own Gahanna page with specific pricing and local notes.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Gahanna
Dryer vents in Gahanna split into two very different jobs. Older homes in the south end often vent straight through a masonry wall to the outside, which is a short run but collects lint densely at the termination hood. Newer homes on the north side routinely push dryer exhaust up two stories and across an attic, and those runs collect lint at every angle change. We clean the full run with a rotary brush and confirm airflow at the exterior vent before we call the job done. See Dryer Vent Cleaning in Gahanna for pricing and what to expect.
Air Duct Cleaning in Gahanna
Most Gahanna duct systems hold a decade or more of dust before anyone opens a register. We use Rotobrush rotary brush systems to scrub the full trunk and branch lines, not just the first few feet you can see from a floor register. Furniture placement matters more than you would think in Gahanna’s split-levels, because returns hidden behind a sectional or entertainment center cut airflow through the whole room. Read Air Duct Cleaning in Gahanna for the full breakdown of what a standard cleaning includes and what it costs.
HVAC Cleaning in Gahanna
HVAC cleaning is a bigger job that starts inside the air handler. In Gahanna, we regularly open units with blower wheels caked in a gray paste of dust and condensation from spring humidity. We pull the blower, wash the wheel and housing, and wipe the evaporator coil before moving into the supply and return ductwork. Homes with Aprilaire filter cabinets often have a cleaner coil but still need the return drop cleaned. Details and pricing are on HVAC Cleaning in Gahanna.
