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 Bee Cave
Most HVAC cleaning jobs in Bee Cave run between $450 and $900 for a full system, depending on how many air handlers and returns your home has. We schedule by appointment and our crews know Bee Cave’s streets, neighborhoods, and the specific dust problems that come with building on limestone. That local knowledge matters because a two-story home off Bee Cave Parkway has different duct realities than a single-story off Hamilton Pool Road. Call (737) 727-2314 and a live person answers, day or night.
Why Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning Is Bee Cave’s Preferred HVAC Cleaning Company
Homeowners across Bee Cave keep calling us because we do something most duct cleaners won’t: we hand you a written price before a single vent is touched, and that number does not change at the door. The 365-Day Done Right Promise backs every job. If the work isn’t right within a full year, we return and correct it at no charge. That’s the longest satisfaction window in the trade, and it applies to every booking without exception.
Omar Haddad leads our team, and the standard he set is simple: background-checked technicians in uniform, professional-grade equipment, and before-and-after photos of your actual ducts on the tablet before we leave. No guesswork, no vague invoices, no wondering what happened inside your walls. Bee Cave customers see the proof themselves.
Our crews run Rotobrush agitation systems, Nikro HEPA-rated negative-pressure vacuums, and Abatement Technologies containment units. That’s the difference between source removal and a shop-vac shortcut. When we serve Bee Cave, we’re pulling dust, caliche fines, and construction debris out of the system, not stirring it around.
AC Duct Cleaning in Bee Cave
AC Duct Cleaning in Bee Cave homes usually costs between $450 and $800 per system, with the real variable being how many returns and trunk runs your house has rather than how many registers we count. We do not charge per vent. The labor in a Bee Cave home is in the long trunk lines and the blower, not in the number of supply grilles. Our HVAC Cleaning team gives you one flat price per system before we begin, and that price is the price.
Source removal, not surface dust
In a house built on the Edwards limestone recharge zone, fine caliche dust gets pulled into the return side and packs the blower wheel and evaporator coil. Surface dust above the registers is maybe ten percent of the story. We run negative-pressure extraction at the main trunk with HEPA filtration, so loosened debris goes straight into the Nikro vacuum rather than back into your living room. That’s the difference between cleaning and just moving dust around.
What the camera finds
We inspect before we clean and photograph after. Bee Cave bonus rooms often hide a disconnected supply duct behind a knee wall, and a crushed flex run under the attic insulation can starve an upstairs bedroom for years. You get before-and-after photos of your own ducts, not stock images, on the tablet before we pack up.
Furnace Cleaning in Bee Cave
Furnace Cleaning in Bee Cave typically runs $350 to $600 for the furnace side alone, and most of our customers bundle it with AC duct cleaning for one combined price per system. Texas furnaces run hard from November through February, and the same caliche dust that coats your AC coil in summer lines your heat exchanger and blower in winter. That dust isn’t just an air quality issue; it cuts the life of your blower motor and makes the system work harder for the same heat.
Blower and heat exchanger work
We pull the blower wheel, clean each blade, and clear the heat exchanger surfaces. A Bee Cave furnace that’s been running with a clogged blower wheel can sound like a jet engine in the hallway. After we finish, you’ll notice the difference in airflow before you notice anything else. The Aprilaire media cabinets we see in Falconhead West and Bella Colinas homes trap a lot, but they can’t stop what never reaches the filter.
Coil treatment and airflow
When the evaporator coil is matted with limestone dust, airflow drops and your system runs longer cycles. We clean the coil, treat it, and seal the access panels properly. On a Falconhead West job, we saw a 0.9 inch water column pressure drop across a coil matted with caliche dust; after cleaning, that number came way down and the upstairs finally cooled even.
Trusted Brands We Service in Bee Cave
We service and maintain Aprilaire media cabinets, Guardsman filtration products, and most major HVAC brands found in Bee Cave homes. Our techs carry common filters, access panel seals, and coil cleaners on the truck, so we don’t have to run back to the shop mid-job. That’s a real benefit when your air handler is in a tight attic off Highlands Boulevard and you don’t want a return trip. We also run Rotobrush and Nikro equipment as our standard, not an upsell.
Common HVAC Cleaning Problems We See in Bee Cave Homes
- Caliche dust packing the blower wheel. Homes on the recharge zone pull fine rock dust through the return chase. It coats the blower blades, throws the wheel off balance, and shortens the motor’s life.
- Disconnected or crushed flex runs. Bonus rooms and converted attic spaces often hide a duct that came apart or got crushed under insulation. The system keeps running and those rooms never feel right.
- Double air handlers, double the neglect. Two-story homes off Bee Cave Parkway frequently have one system per floor. The upstairs one gets ignored because it’s in a hot attic, and the coil turns into a felt blanket of dust and debris.
- Per-vent pricing bait. Some companies quote a low per-register number, then count every supply and return and add fees. By the time they leave, you’ve paid more than our flat system price would have been.

FAQs About HVAC Cleaning in Bee Cave
How often does a Bee Cave home on the Edwards recharge zone actually need its HVAC ducts cleaned?
Every 3 to 5 years for most Bee Cave homes, unless you’ve had recent remodeling, heavy construction nearby, or you can see dust blowing from the registers when the system kicks on. The Edwards limestone dust is finer than typical household dust and accumulates faster on coils and blower wheels, so homes near active construction or undeveloped land may fall closer to the 3-year mark. If it’s been more than five years, call (737) 727-2314 and we’ll inspect before recommending anything.
Do you charge per vent or one flat price in Bee Cave?
One flat price per system, always. We quote the whole job, written, before a single duct is touched, and that number does not change at the door. No per-vent math, no surprise line items, no “oh, that’s extra.” The labor in a Bee Cave home is in the trunks, returns, and blower, not in how many registers you have.
What does NADCA standards-compliant cleaning actually look like in a Bee Cave house?
NADCA-compliant source removal means we set up negative pressure at the main trunk with HEPA filtration, then run agitation tools through the supply and return ducts to loosen debris and pull it into the vacuum. The process covers the entire system: ducts, returns, blower, evaporator coil, and air handler. In Bee Cave, that method matters because the fine caliche dust needs actual capture, not just stirring. You get photograph proof of the cleaned surfaces before we leave.
Will cleaning my ducts fix a musty smell or a weak upstairs airflow in Bee Cave?
Often yes, but it depends on the cause. A musty smell usually means mold or mildew on the coil or in the drain pan, and cleaning removes it. Weak upstairs airflow can come from a matted coil, a clogged blower wheel, or a disconnected flex run behind a knee wall, and a camera inspection finds which one it is. If cleaning won’t solve your specific problem, we’ll tell you that before taking the job.
Do you offer same-day HVAC cleaning in Bee Cave?
We don’t promise same-day service, because a proper source-removal cleaning takes real time, often half a day or more for a two-system home. What we do offer is a scheduled appointment with a live trackable arrival window, so you know exactly when we’ll be there and you’re not burning a vacation day waiting on a four-hour window. Call (737) 727-2314 to schedule.
