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.

AfterFast, Reliable HVAC Cleaning Across Acworth
HVAC cleaning in Acworth typically runs $450 – $850 for a complete single-system cleaning, depending on duct layout, coil condition, and how many returns your home has. Most Acworth jobs take four to six hours, and we schedule them as half-day or full-day appointments, not rushed drive-by visits. Our crews know Acworth’s mix of 1960s slab ranches near downtown and newer two-story builds west of I-75, which means we quote by system, not by counting registers over the phone. Call (737) 727-2314 for a free estimate with real numbers before any work starts.
We’re Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning, part of the Relay Home Co. family. Omar Haddad leads our team, and every job we run in Acworth follows the same rule: a written price before we touch a single duct, before-and-after photographs of your actual duct interior, and a 365-Day Done Right Promise that covers the full year after the work. If it’s not right, we return and correct it at no charge.
Why Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning Is Acworth’s Preferred HVAC Cleaning Company
Acworth homeowners call us because we show up with professional-grade equipment from Rotobrush, Nikro, and Abatement Technologies, not a truck-mounted shop vac. Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and you’ll know the tech’s name before they open the door. They run negative-pressure extraction during every cleaning, which means loosened debris goes straight into the HEPA-filtered vacuum at the truck, not back into your living room.
We serve all of Acworth, from the lakefront homes off Lake Acworth Drive to the subdivisions along Cobb Parkway and the newer developments west toward Kennesaw. Dispatched from our Atlanta office, crews arrive with a live trackable arrival window through The Relay Standard, so you’re not waiting on a vague four-hour block. A live person answers our phones around the clock, and every booking includes before-and-after photo proof and a digital invoice payable by link.
Every repair we make carries a written guarantee, and if that repair fails, the second visit is free. That’s not a marketing line. It’s the same 365-Day Done Right Promise applied to every booking in Acworth without exception.
Furnace Duct Cleaning in Acworth
Furnace duct cleaning in Acworth removes the dust, drywall debris, pet dander, and renovation residue that builds up inside your supply and return lines over years of North Georgia heating seasons. We run a camera down the main trunk first to see what’s actually in there, then use rotary brush agitation paired with Nikro HEPA vacuum extraction at negative pressure, a real source-removal setup that pulls debris out of the system instead of pushing it around. For most Acworth homes, furnace duct cleaning runs $450 – $650 per system, depending on trunk length, number of returns, and how much buildup has accumulated.
When Acworth Homes Genuinely Need It
You’ll know it’s time when registers throw visible dust, airflow feels weak in rooms far from the blower, or a renovation left drywall dust through the whole house. Homes with pets, smokers, or recent remodeling typically need cleaning more often than a sealed, filter-disciplined house. We’ll tell you honestly if your ducts don’t need cleaning yet, because we’d rather you call us next year than pay for work that isn’t due.
What We Find in Pre-1980 Ductwork
Older Acworth homes off Cherokee Street or near downtown often have original sheet-metal trunks with disconnected flex runs hiding behind walls, something a camera inspection reveals but a vent-count quote never catches. In these houses, we check every return and air handler bay before quoting, because an undersized 1970s trunk with one return feeding a whole slab ranch behaves very differently from a modern two-system install. A flat per-system price keeps that honest.
AC Coil Cleaning in Acworth
AC coil cleaning in Acworth addresses the evaporator coil inside your air handler, the part that gets matted with dust, pet hair, and Georgia humidity-driven grime until it chokes airflow and forces your system to work harder. We clean the coil with professional-grade cleaning solutions and mechanical agitation, then confirm airflow at the blower before we leave. For most Acworth homes, AC coil cleaning runs $150 – $250 as a standalone service, or $100 – $150 when paired with furnace duct cleaning in the same visit.
Evaporator Coil and Air Handler Access
Many Acworth air handlers sit in attic spaces or tight closets, which makes coil access awkward for homeowners but routine for our techs. They work with containment and negative pressure from Abatement Technologies units so cleaning doesn’t scatter debris into your attic or hallway. If your coil is matted and airflow is weak, that’s a sign the blower motor is overworking, and we’ll check its rated airflow before we quote.
Blower Cleaning and Coil Treatment
We clean the blower wheel and housing as part of a full HVAC cleaning, removing the gray fuzz that clings to fan blades and cuts efficiency. After cleaning, we apply a coil treatment that helps the evaporator stay cleaner longer through Acworth’s humid summer months. The blower component matters because a dirty wheel spins off-balance and wastes energy even when the coil is clean.
Trusted Brands We Service in Acworth
We work on all major HVAC brands found in Acworth homes, from Carrier and Trane to Lennox, Goodman, Rheem, and Bryant. We stock common Guardsman and Aprilaire filtration products for Acworth customers, and we’re familiar with Abatement Technologies containment units for homes where indoor air quality is a concern. When a cleaning reveals a filter frame or access panel that needs replacement, we carry what we need on the truck, which means faster turnarounds and fewer follow-up trips for Acworth homeowners.
Common HVAC Cleaning Problems We See in Acworth Homes
- One return feeding a whole slab ranch off Lake Acworth Drive. These homes have four or five registers but a single undersized return, which means a per-vent quote undercuts the real work. We quote by system to avoid that trap.
- Drywall dust from renovation projects lingering in ducts. A 2019 remodel off Cherokee Street left supply and return lines coated in fine gypsum dust that only showed up on camera. Camera inspection catches what register cleaning misses.
- Filters that never sealed to the frame. A MERV 8 filter with gaps around the edges lets unfiltered air bypass straight into the blower and coil. We check filter fit as part of every cleaning.
- Matted AC coils from Georgia humidity. Acworth summers push humidity hard, and coils load up with damp dust that hardens into insulation. We see this most in homes with pets or windows left open in spring.
Pricing for HVAC Cleaning in Acworth, GA
A complete HVAC cleaning for one system in Acworth runs $450 – $850, which includes the supply and return ducts, the blower, and a camera inspection. AC coil cleaning adds $100 – $250 depending on coil type and access. Air handler cleaning, condenser cleaning, or heat exchanger cleaning on older systems are quoted separately, and we hand you a written price before work begins so the number never shifts once the van is in your driveway. We don’t charge per vent, and we don’t run a low teaser price that becomes a bigger invoice later. Call (737) 727-2314 for a free estimate with the flat-per-system number for your specific home.

FAQs About HVAC Cleaning in Acworth
Every four to six years in most cases, sooner if you have pets, smokers, recent renovation, or a home built before 1980 with original ductwork. Acworth’s mix of older slab ranches and newer two-story builds means there’s no single answer, which is why we inspect with a camera and tell you honestly if the ducts are clean enough to wait. Call (737) 727-2314 and we’ll tell you what we see.
Per system, always. A per-vent price breaks down the moment a slab ranch off Lake Acworth Drive has one return feeding four registers, because the honest work depends on trunk length and return count, not register count. We quote a flat price per system after seeing the air handler bay and the number of returns, and that price doesn’t change at the door.
It means we use source-removal methods, not a shop vac. NADCA standards require negative-pressure extraction so loosened debris exits the system instead of recirculating into your living space, and we follow that on every job. What it changes for you is the difference between clean ducts and ducts that just look clean on the register. The Rotobrush and Nikro equipment on our trucks is built for true source removal, and we’ll show you the before-and-after photos to prove it.
Yes, when paired as a full HVAC cleaning. The coil and blower are where the airflow and cooling actually happen, so cleaning the ducts without cleaning the coil leaves half the job undone. We clean the evaporator coil, blower wheel, and housing, and we apply a coil treatment afterward in most cases. A coil alone runs $150 – $250, or $100 – $150 when bundled with duct cleaning.
Yes, every job includes photo documentation of your actual duct interior before and after cleaning, sent to you through The Relay Standard booking experience. You’ll see the trunk line, the returns, and the coil, not stock photos from another house. That’s part of the written-price-and-visibility rule we operate under in Acworth. Call (737) 727-2314 and we’ll walk you through exactly what you’ll receive.
