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 Heron Bay, GA
Air duct cleaning in Heron Bay typically runs $285 to $485 for a standard single-system home, and most jobs are finished in half a day. We’re Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning, and we work differently here: one flat price per system, agreed in writing before anyone touches a vent. If you’re noticing dust settling right after you clean, or your allergies flare the moment the AC kicks on, call (737) 727-2314 and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Why Heron Bay Homes Are Different
Heron Bay sits in the southern arc of metro Atlanta, where summers run long and humid and the HVAC system rarely gets a real break between May and October. That constant runtime means one thing for ductwork: it pulls air, dust, and pollen through the returns nonstop for six months a year. Homes here tend to be newer construction, which sounds like a blessing until you remember what drywall dust, sawdust, and construction debris do to a brand-new duct system. We routinely pull insulation scraps and trim sawdust out of vents in homes that are only a few years old. The lake proximity adds another wrinkle – moisture levels near the water keep dust sticky, so it clings to duct walls instead of blowing through. That’s why a basic vacuum job never quite fixes the problem in Heron Bay. You need agitation first, then extraction.
Our Main Heron Bay Services
Most Heron Bay homeowners call us for two reasons: dryer vents that have become a fire risk, and ducts that are circulating dust through the whole house. Here’s what each job involves locally.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Heron Bay
Dryer vents clog faster here than homeowners expect, and the first sign is usually a load of towels taking two cycles to dry. In Heron Bay, we see vents packed with lint, bird nesting material, and in some cases, construction debris left over from the original build. We run a rotary brush system through the full vent run and confirm airflow at the exterior termination point. Every job ends with a photo of the clean vent. For the full local breakdown, see Dryer Vent Cleaning in Heron Bay.
Air Duct Cleaning in Heron Bay
When a Heron Bay home’s ducts are dirty, the telltale is a fine gray film on furniture within days of dusting. We attack this with negative-pressure extraction – that means a HEPA vacuum pulls suction on the entire system while a rotary brush loosens debris from the duct walls, so nothing recirculates into your living room. New construction dust is the most common culprit we find in Heron Bay homes. Read the full Heron Bay guide at Air Duct Cleaning in Heron Bay.
HVAC Cleaning in Heron Bay
HVAC cleaning covers the components most companies skip: the evaporator coil, blower motor, drain pan, and plenum. In Heron Bay’s humid summers, a dirty coil is why your system runs longer and cools less. We clean the full air handler with professional equipment, not a spray bottle and a rag. If your system is short-cycling or you smell musty air on startup, this is the job. Details on our HVAC Cleaning in Heron Bay page.
