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 Cheval
HVAC cleaning in Cheval isn’t a once-a-decade chore. Not here. Our crews work in this community every week, and we know exactly what Cheval’s homes throw at an air conditioning system: long flex-duct runs through high ceilings, multiple air handlers on zoned systems, and fine dust that works its way into supply registers even when you’re diligent about filter changes. A standard HVAC Cleaning across Cheval runs $380 – $620 per system for most homes, and that’s a written price you’ll see before we touch anything. Call (737) 727-2314 and a live person answers. No phone tag, no four-hour arrival windows.
Why Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning Is Cheval’s Preferred HVAC Cleaning Company
Omar Haddad leads our Cheval crews, and he’s built the local team around one principle: show the homeowner exactly what’s in their ducts, clean it out properly, and hand over photo proof when the job is done. We’re part of the Relay Home Co. family, founded 2005, and every Cheval booking comes with The Relay Standard: a live trackable arrival window, before-and-after photo documentation, and a digital invoice you can pay from your phone. No other duct cleaner in this area puts that in writing before the van even leaves for your street.
Cheval homeowners call us because we know the difference between a quick blow-and-go and actual source removal in the long flex runs these 1990s homes are famous for. We service every neighborhood from Cheval Boulevard down to the golf-course side, and our technicians arrive in uniform with Rotobrush agitation systems and Nikro HEPA extraction units, not a shop-vac bolted to a pickup. The 365-Day Done Right Promise covers every job: if it isn’t right within a full year, we return and correct it at no charge.
Once you book, you’ll know your technician’s name before they knock. That’s the Relay Standard, and it’s how a HVAC Cleaning appointment should work in Cheval.
AC Coil Cleaning in Cheval
AC Coil Cleaning in Cheval is the difference between an AC that cools and one that just runs. The evaporator coil sits inside the air handler and pulls heat from your home’s air. In Cheval, where fine particulate from nearby stable operations and mulch beds drifts through outdoor condenser coils, that coil picks up a layer of grime faster than most homeowners expect. Once coated, the coil can’t transfer heat efficiently, so your system runs longer, works harder, and still leaves you with warm spots upstairs.
What the Coil Cleaning Actually Involves
We remove the air handler access panel, inspect the coil with a camera, then apply a self-rinsing coil cleaner followed by low-pressure wash-down. The runoff goes into a capture pan, not your insulation. We finish by checking the drain line and pan for blockages. A coil cleaning in Cheval typically runs $180 – $320 per coil depending on access and condition.
Signs Your Cheval Home Needs It
Warm air from vents, a system that runs constantly, rising electric bills, or ice forming on the copper lines near the air handler. If you’re seeing any of those, the coil is almost certainly involved. We’ll confirm with photos before we clean, and show you the after.
AC Cleaning in Cheval
AC Cleaning in Cheval means cleaning the entire air-side system, not just the ducts: the blower wheel, the evaporator coil, the drain pan, the supply and return plenums, and the accessible duct runs. For a typical two-story Cheval home with two air handlers and zoned controls, this is the most effective way to stop dust from blowing through registers. We quote it per system, not per vent, and a full AC Cleaning for one system in Cheval typically runs $380 – $620.
Blower Wheel and Housing
The blower wheel in a Cheval home’s air handler picks up lint, pet hair, and that fine stable-area dust, then throws it through your ducts. A loaded blower wheel moves less air and strains the motor. We clean the wheel, the housing, and the motor compartment using agitation brushes and HEPA extraction so the debris leaves your home, not your rooms.
Supply and Return Plenums
Plenums are the sheet-metal boxes that connect your duct runs to the air handler. In Cheval’s 1990s construction, these are often accessible in a garage or attic chase. We remove the grilles, inspect the plenums with a camera, and clean any visible buildup. We do not just fog the registers and call it done.
Trusted Brands We Service in Cheval
We work on all major HVAC equipment found in Cheval homes, including Trane, Carrier, Lennox, Rheem, Goodman, and York. Our technicians carry and install filtration products from Aprilaire, Guardsman, and Honeywell. When a Cheval home needs a new media filter or a coil treatment, we keep common sizes on the trucks. For containment and source removal, we run Abatement Technologies negative-air units on larger jobs, alongside Rotobrush rotary brush systems and Nikro HEPA vacuums. If you’re replacing a filter cabinet or upgrading filtration during an HVAC Cleaning in Cheval visit, we quote that line item before any work begins, same as the cleaning itself.
Common HVAC Cleaning Problems We See in Cheval Homes
- Multi-zone systems quoted as a single vent count. Cheval’s larger homes often run two or three air handlers. A cleaner who quotes “10 vents for $99” without seeing the zone layout will hit you with add-ons at the door. We quote per system, after we confirm how many air handlers you actually have.
- Long flex runs with visible dust at the registers. Many Cheval homes were built in the 1990s with flex duct snaking through high ceilings and over the golf-course side of the community. Air moves slower through flex, so dust settles and builds. If you see dust on the supply vent face, the duct behind it is usually carrying more.
- Coils coated with stable-area dust. Cheval sits close enough to stable and mulch operations that fine particulate gets pulled across condenser coils and into the air stream. It’s a local condition, and it means coil cleaning should be part of any serious HVAC cleaning here.
- No before-and-after photos. If a company won’t show you the inside of your own ducts, you have no way to verify the work. The Relay Standard includes photo documentation of your actual system, not stock images.

A full AC Cleaning covering blower wheel, coil, drain pan, plenums, and accessible duct runs runs $380 – $620 per system.

FAQs About HVAC Cleaning in Cheval
Most Cheval homes need a full HVAC cleaning every 3 to 5 years. Homes near the golf course or the stable side of the community may need it more often, because fine dust settles into flex runs faster there. If you’re changing your filter monthly and still seeing dust at the registers, it’s time. Call (737) 727-2314 and we’ll give you an honest read on whether your system needs cleaning now or can wait.
We charge per system, not per vent. That’s the only honest way to price HVAC cleaning in Cheval, because so many homes here have multiple air handlers and zoned layouts. A per-vent price will always turn into a surprise invoice once a technician counts your actual vents. We agree on a flat price per system before the appointment, and it doesn’t change.
We start with a camera inspection of your air handler, coil, and accessible duct runs. Then we use Rotobrush rotary agitation to loosen debris, while a Nikro HEPA vacuum pulls it out under negative pressure, so loosened debris goes into the vacuum, not back into your living room. We clean the coil, blower wheel, and drain pan, check the plenums, and document the before-and-after with photos of your actual ducts. For a typical Cheval two-story home, that’s a half-day job per system.
Yes. Every job includes before-and-after photos of your own ducts, coil, and blower wheel. That’s part of The Relay Standard. You’ll see exactly what we found and what it looked like after we finished. If the photos don’t show a real difference, we didn’t do our job, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise covers you.
We don’t promise same-day service, because a proper HVAC cleaning in a Cheval home can’t be rushed through in an hour. We’ll schedule you at the next available time that fits your calendar, and you’ll get a live trackable arrival window when your technician is on the way. That’s how we protect the quality of the work, and you’ll never wait through a four-hour window wondering where we are. Call (737) 727-2314 to get on the schedule.
If your Cheval home hasn’t had its HVAC system cleaned in years, or you’re noticing dust in rooms you rarely use, call us at (737) 727-2314. We’ll talk through your system, give you a written price per system before any work starts, and show you photos of your own ducts when we’re done.
