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 Cedar Park
Air Duct Cleaning in Cedar Park typically runs $425 – $675 for a complete system clean, and we quote one flat price per system before any work starts. No per-vent pricing, no add-on surprises once we’re in your home.

Call us at (737) 727-2314 and we’ll walk you through it.
We serve homes throughout Cedar Park, from the established streets of Buttercup Creek to new construction along the 183A corridor. Our crews know the area’s housing stock, the seasonal allergens, and the limestone dust that finds its way into ductwork here more than almost anywhere else in the Austin metro.
Why Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning Is Cedar Park’s Preferred HVAC Cleaning Company
Cedar Park homeowners choose us because we operate on full transparency. Every booking includes a written price before work begins, a live trackable arrival window, and before-and-after photos of your own ducts. The Relay Visibility Guarantee isn’t a marketing slogan. It’s how we run every job, and it’s the reason our Cedar Park customers don’t have to wonder what happened behind the vent covers.
Omar Haddad leads our team, and every technician who arrives at your door is background-checked and in uniform. You’ll know the tech’s name before they pull into your driveway. We run professional-grade equipment, not truck-mounted shop vacuums. Our Nikro HEPA extraction units pull loosened debris out under negative pressure, so what we dislodge leaves your home entirely. It doesn’t recirculate into your living room.
Our Cedar Park customers tell us the same thing over and over: they wanted a straight answer on price and timing, and didn’t get one from the last company they called. We answer the phone with a live person, 24/7. No voicemail loops, no phone tag.
AC Cleaning in Cedar Park
AC cleaning in Cedar Park homes involves cleaning the evaporator coil, blower motor, blower wheel, and air handler cabinet, then treating the coil to prevent the microbial growth that thrives in our humidity. If your system has been running through pollen season and those 100-degree July afternoons without a proper clean, the coil is likely caked with a gray paste of dust and condensation. That paste insulates the coil, cuts airflow, and forces the compressor to run longer. A full AC cleaning in Cedar Park runs $300 – $475 depending on system size and accessibility.
What the job involves
We start with a camera inspection to see what’s actually inside the air handler and coil housing. Then we pull the blower motor, clean the blower wheel vanes, and remove the accumulated debris that robs airflow. The evaporator coil gets a foam-based cleaning agent that lifts the film off the fins, followed by a rinse that carries it into the drain pan and out through the condensate line.
When Cedar Park homeowners need it
If you’re seeing light dust settle on furniture within days of cleaning, or the system is short-cycling in the heat, the coil is the likely culprit. Homes near the limestone quarries west of Cedar Park, and those that went through recent construction nearby, often need this service more frequently. Fine rock dust gets pulled through the return air and packs onto wet coil surfaces fast.
Evaporator Coil Cleaning in Cedar Park
Evaporator coil cleaning in Cedar Park addresses the single most abused component in a Texas AC system. The coil sits in a dark, wet, cool environment, perfect for collecting dust and growing the moldy biofilm that causes that sour smell when the system first kicks on. A standalone evaporator coil cleaning in Cedar Park runs $180 – $300, and it usually adds an hour or two to a full HVAC Cleaning visit.
Why it matters here
Cedar Park’s summer humidity means the coil never fully dries out between cycles. That constant moisture, combined with fine dust from dry spring months, forms a crust that cuts efficiency by 15 to 25 percent according to the EPA’s studies on HVAC maintenance. Homeowners in the Ranch at Brushy Creek and Twin Creeks often report the mustiest coil conditions, simply because of the mature tree canopy and damp soil around those subdivisions.
How we clean it
We access the coil through the air handler panel, apply a self-rinsing cleaning agent to the fins, and flush it with low-pressure water into the condensate line. We then treat the coil with a Guardsman anti-microbial that slows regrowth. Finally, we check the drain pan and line for clogs, because a coil cleaning that sends debris into a partially blocked line will leave water on your attic floor within a week.
Trusted Brands We Service in Cedar Park
We work on all major residential equipment, including Trane, Carrier, Lennox, Goodman, Rheem, and American Standard, which covers nearly every HVAC setup we see in Cedar Park neighborhoods from Cypress Creek to the newer builds off Ronald Reagan Boulevard. Our techs carry Rotobrush rotary brush systems and Nikro HEPA vacuums as standard equipment, and we stock common filter sizes for Cedar Park homes so we can swap in the right MERV-rated filter before we leave. We handle Abatement Technologies containment units for homes with severe contamination or recent renovation dust, which keeps the mess out of your living space while we work.
Common HVAC Cleaning Problems We See in Cedar Park Homes
- Limestone dust in return ducts. Homes on the west side of Cedar Park, close to the quarry operations and newer construction, pull fine rock dust into return ducts during slab pours and landscape work. That dust packs onto blower wheels and coil fins faster than pollen does.
- Clogged evaporator coils in two-story homes. In houses built after 2010, tight construction and high-efficiency windows mean less natural air exchange. Condensation sits on the coil longer, and the coil loads up with biofilm faster than in older, leakier homes.
- Dryer vent lint backing into the HVAC path. We often find dryer vent runs that exit near a return air grille in the laundry room or garage. Lint gets pulled into the return, coats the blower motor, and accelerates bearing wear.
- Construction debris during new builds. Builders are supposed to seal off duct openings during construction, but it doesn’t always happen. We’ve pulled drywall scraps, sawdust, and even soda cans out of brand-new Cedar Park duct systems on first-time cleanings.

FAQs About HVAC Cleaning in Cedar Park
Most Cedar Park homes need a full HVAC cleaning every 3 to 5 years. Homes with pets, recent renovation work, or lots near active construction sites may need it every 2 to 3 years. If your system is under 5 years old, was sealed during construction, and you change filters monthly, you probably don’t need a cleaning yet. We’ll tell you that honestly, even if it means we don’t book the job. Call (737) 727-2314 and we’ll help you figure out if it’s time.
Per system. Always. One flat price covers your entire duct system, all supply and return registers, the air handler, blower motor, and evaporator coil. We don’t do per-vent pricing because it’s a dishonest structure that encourages skipping problem areas like return ducts or the air handler altogether. The price we quote before we start is the price on your invoice.
Every job starts with a camera inspection of the supply and return ducts, the coil, and the blower housing. We show you what we find. Then we run agitation tools through the ducts while the Nikro HEPA vacuum pulls negative pressure on the system, so loosened debris goes into the vacuum and out of your house. We clean the blower motor, evaporator coil, drain pan, and line. We replace your filter with the right MERV rating for your equipment. Finally, we hand you before-and-after photos of your own registers and the coil, not stock images from another house. Call (737) 727-2314 for a walkthrough of what this looks like in your home.
Yes. Full HVAC cleaning in Cedar Park includes the evaporator coil, blower motor, blower wheel, air handler cabinet, and all supply and return ducting. If you only need the coil cleaned, we do that as a standalone service. But most Cedar Park homeowners book the full system clean, because a clean coil on a dirty blower only moves the problem around.
If your ducts or coil are visibly loaded with dust, mold, or construction debris, cleaning will remove that source of recirculated contamination. If your system is already clean and your issue is seasonal allergies, a higher-MERV filter and whole-home filtration will do more than duct cleaning alone. We’ll tell you which path makes sense for your Cedar Park home. Call (737) 727-2314 and ask for an honest assessment.
