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.
Fast, Reliable HVAC Cleaning Across Brushy Creek
HVAC cleaning in Brushy Creek typically costs between $350 and $900 for a complete system cleaning, depending on the size of your home and the condition of the equipment. Most Brushy Creek jobs are finished in a single visit, and we give you a written price before any work begins. If your system hasn’t been cleaned since the house was built, you’re probably circulating dust that’s been sitting in those ducts for 20-plus years. Call (737) 727-2314 and we’ll walk you through exactly what your system needs.
We know Brushy Creek homes because we work in them every week. The two-story plans near Cat Hollow Park, the older sections off Great Oaks Drive, the newer builds along the northern edge near the Brushy Creek Trail system. Each one has different duct layouts, different equipment, and different cleaning needs. Our HVAC Cleaning team treats every job as its own system, not a generic checklist.
Why Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning Is Brushy Creek’s Preferred HVAC Cleaning Company
Brushy Creek homeowners call us because they want to see what they’re paying for. That starts with a written price handed to you before a single duct is touched. It doesn’t change at the door. And it ends with before-and-after photographs of your own system, so you know the work actually happened.
Omar Haddad leads our team, and he’s built the business around a simple idea: no one should have to guess whether their duct cleaning was real. Our technicians are background-checked, arrive in uniform, and run professional-grade equipment from Nikro, Abatement Technologies, and Honeywell. You’ll know the tech’s name before they ring the bell.
Every job is backed by the 365-Day Done Right Promise. If the work isn’t right within a full year, we come back and correct it at no charge. That’s not a marketing line. It’s a written standard that applies to every booking, no exceptions.
We’re part of the Relay Home Co. family, founded in 2005, and every Brushy Creek booking includes The Relay Standard: a live trackable arrival window, before-and-after photo documentation, and a digital invoice you can pay from your phone. Dispatch is coordinated from the brand’s Austin office, but the crews working in Brushy Creek are local and know the area.
AC Coil Cleaning in Brushy Creek
AC Coil Cleaning in Brushy Creek is one of the most common jobs we handle, and it’s also one of the most overlooked. The evaporator coil sits inside your air handler, and over time it collects a layer of dust, pet hair, and sometimes construction debris from the original build. That coating reduces airflow and forces your system to work harder to cool the same square footage. In Brushy Creek’s humid summers, a dirty coil also holds moisture longer, which can lead to mildew growth inside the unit.
A standard evaporator coil cleaning runs $180 to $350 depending on access and how heavily the coil is fouled. We use professional-grade coil cleaners and, when needed, agitation tools to break up the buildup before rinsing it out under controlled conditions.
Signs Your Coil Needs Attention
A coil caked with grime will show up as weak airflow from the registers, longer cooling cycles, or a system that runs constantly but never quite hits the set temperature. You might also notice a musty smell when the AC kicks on. If you’re seeing any of that in a late-1990s or early-2000s Brushy Creek home, the coil has likely never been cleaned.
What We Do Differently
We don’t just spray the visible face of the coil and call it done. Depending on the setup, we pull the access panel, inspect the full coil depth, and clean both the intake and discharge sides. If the buildup is heavy, we’ll use a foaming cleaner that dwells on the surface and lifts debris out of the fins rather than pushing it deeper in.
AC Cleaning in Brushy Creek
AC Cleaning in Brushy Creek covers the full system, not just one component. That means the blower motor, the air handler cabinet, the drain pan and line, and the accessible duct runs. In our experience with Brushy Creek homes built between the late 1990s and the late 2000s, the air handler cabinet often holds more original construction dust than the ducts themselves. Builders didn’t always seal off the HVAC system during drywall work, and that fine white dust has been circulating ever since.
A complete AC cleaning for a typical Brushy Creek home runs $350 to $650. Larger two-story floor plans with multiple units or long duct runs can push toward $900. The price is written down and agreed to before we start. No per-vent pricing, no surprise add-ons at the door.
Blower and Air Handler Cleaning
The blower wheel is the part that actually moves air through your house. When it’s coated with dust, the whole system underperforms even if the ducts look clean. We remove the blower assembly, clean the wheel and housing, and reinstall it with the proper alignment. On most Brushy Creek systems this takes an extra hour, but it’s the difference between a cleaning that matters and one that just makes the registers look tidy.
Condenser and Outdoor Unit Care
The condenser coil outside gets hit with grass clippings, pollen, and the fine limestone dust that blows across the hill country. We clean the coil fins, clear debris from the housing, and check the drain line. A clogged drain line in a Texas summer can back up into the air handler and damage the cabinet. It’s a cheap fix when caught early.
Trusted Brands We Service in Brushy Creek
We clean and service all major equipment brands found in Brushy Creek homes, from builder-installed Carrier and Trane units to higher-end Lennox and American Standard systems. We stock common filters, capacitors, and drain line parts for most of these brands, which means faster turnaround when a repair is needed during a cleaning visit. We also use professional-grade cleaning equipment from Nikro (HEPA-rated negative-pressure vacuums) and Abatement Technologies (containment units for source-removal work), plus filtration products from Honeywell and Aprilaire if your system would benefit from upgraded media.
Common HVAC Cleaning Problems We See in Brushy Creek Homes
- Original construction dust in the air handler. Homes built in the late 1990s and 2000s around Brushy Creek often had the HVAC system running during drywall and trim work. That dust settles inside the cabinet and stays there for two decades unless someone goes in and removes it.
- Dirty blower wheels reducing airflow. A layer of caked dust on the blower wheel throws off the balance and cuts CFM. Homeowners notice weak airflow in upstairs rooms, particularly in two-story plans common along the Brushy Creek Trail corridor.
- Clogged drain lines and pan buildup. The humidity in central Texas means condensation runs constantly during the summer. Dust mixing with that moisture creates sludge that blocks drain lines and backs up into the pan. It’s one of the most common calls we get from Brushy Creek homeowners.
- Per-vent pricing confusion. A lot of quotes in this market are based on a per-vent price, but the number of registers in Brushy Creek homes varies widely from one builder’s floor plan to another. One flat price per system, confirmed with a walkthrough before work starts, is the only way to know what the job actually costs.
Pricing for HVAC Cleaning in Brushy Creek, TX
Here’s what Brushy Creek homeowners should expect to pay for honest HVAC cleaning work:
- Evaporator coil cleaning: $180 to $350
- Blower cleaning: $120 to $220
- Full AC cleaning (coil, blower, air handler, accessible ducts): $350 to $650
- Complete system cleaning for larger two-story homes: $650 to $900
The price is set before we start, and it doesn’t change at the door. What affects the final number is the size of the house, the number of HVAC units, and how long it’s been since the last cleaning. A home that’s never had source removal done will take longer than one that’s been maintained. Call (737) 727-2314 for a free estimate, and we’ll give you an honest number based on your actual system, not a generic range.

FAQs About HVAC Cleaning in Brushy Creek
Most Brushy Creek homes need a full system cleaning every 3 to 5 years, not every year. If your home was built in the 1990s or 2000s and has never had a source-removal cleaning, it’s overdue. Homes with pets, high-cedar seasons, or recent renovation work may need it more often. Call (737) 727-2314 and we’ll help you decide if it’s time based on what your system actually shows.
One flat price per system, written down before any work starts. We don’t do per-vent pricing because the register count in Brushy Creek homes varies too much from one builder’s floor plan to the next. You’ll know the exact number before we touch anything.
We start with a walkthrough to confirm the system layout and the original quote. Then we run source-removal cleaning: agitation tools loosen debris inside the ducts and air handler while a Nikro negative-pressure HEPA vacuum pulls it out at the same time. Nothing gets pushed back into your living space. After the cleaning, we show you before-and-after photos of your own ducts. To schedule, call (737) 727-2314.
Yes. Every Brushy Creek job includes before-and-after photographs of your own system. You’ll see the air handler cabinet, the coil, and the duct runs before we start and after we finish. That’s part of The Relay Standard on every booking, no extra charge. Call (737) 727-2314 to get started.
We don’t promise same-day service, because a proper HVAC cleaning is a scheduled job that takes several hours and shouldn’t be rushed. What we do offer is a live trackable arrival window once your booking is confirmed, so you know exactly when we’ll be there. Call (737) 727-2314 and we’ll get you on the schedule.
