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 Conway
Most HVAC cleaning in Conway, FL runs between $400 and $950 for a full system, depending on the size of the home and whether the AC coil is included. That price is agreed before any work starts, written down, and it does not change at the door. Call (737) 727-2314 for a free estimate. Our HVAC Cleaning team knows the homes, streets, and humidity patterns here better than any out-of-town outfit ever could.
Conway sits in Orange County’s humid subtropical zone, and the combination of near-constant moisture plus pollen from the area’s live oaks means supply and return ducts here load up with sticky, clumped debris rather than the dry dust common in drier Florida markets. That changes how we approach agitation and coil cleaning. We do not just run a brush through and call it done. We account for the humidity, the pollen, and the way Conway homes actually hold onto airborne grime.
Why Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning Is Conway’s Preferred HVAC Cleaning Company
Conway homeowners put up with a lot from home service companies. Vague estimates, four-hour arrival windows, a tech who shows up and immediately starts adding charges. Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning operates differently, and the reviews from Conway customers reflect that. We are part of the Relay Home Co. family, founded 2005, and every booking is held to The Relay Visibility Guarantee: a live trackable arrival time, before-and-after photos, and a written price before any work starts.
Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and they carry professional-grade equipment from Rotobrush, Nikro, and Abatement Technologies. That means rotary brush agitation, HEPA-rated vacuum extraction, and proper containment, not a truck-mounted shop vac and a prayer. When you book with us, you know the tech’s name before they open the door. When they arrive, they hand you a written price. When they finish, you see photos of your own ducts, clean and documented.
Omar Haddad, who leads the team, built this service around one idea: the homeowner should never have to guess. Not about cost, not about timing, not about whether the work was actually done. That is what makes us the company Conway keeps calling back. For answers on anything in this area, see HVAC Cleaning in Conway for our full local breakdown.
Furnace Duct Cleaning in Conway
Furnace Duct Cleaning in Conway is the deep clean that most homes here genuinely need every three to five years, though plenty of households wait far longer than that. Even though Florida furnaces do not run as often as up north, the same return and supply ducts move air year-round for AC, and that is where the debris piles up. Dust, pet dander, pollen from Conway’s live oaks, and the humidity-driven clumping that makes it all stick. A typical furnace duct cleaning in Conway runs $400 – $700 for a standard single-system home.
What the job actually involves
We start with an inspection camera so you can see the condition before we touch anything. Then we agitate the duct walls with a Rotobrush rotary brush system, which breaks loose the baked-on debris. Simultaneously, negative-pressure extraction pulls the loosened material directly into a Nikro HEPA vacuum. That means nothing redistributes through your living room. The process on a standard Conway home takes four to six hours.
When a Conway homeowner needs it
If your registers show visible lint or dust buildup, if every AC cycle kicks up a musty smell, or if you just moved into an older home near Lake Conway and have no idea when the ducts were last touched, get them inspected. Ducts are not meant to be cleaned annually. But left too long, the buildup restricts airflow, which forces your system to work harder and costs more to run.
AC Coil Cleaning in Conway
AC Coil Cleaning in Conway addresses the single most common source of musty odors we find in homes across this part of Orange County. The evaporator coil sits inside the air handler, cold and wet during every cooling cycle. In Conway’s humidity, biofilm forms on that coil fast. Pollen from the surrounding oak canopy gets pulled in, sticks to the damp metal, and feeds the growth. Duct cleaning alone will not fix a musty smell if the coil is fouled. A standalone evaporator coil cleaning in Conway runs $250 – $400. When bundled with a full duct cleaning, the combined price typically lands between $550 and $900.
Evaporator and blower work
We clean the evaporator coil with professional-grade coil cleaners and soft brushes, then apply a coil treatment that slows regrowth. While the air handler is open, we clean the blower assembly too. A blower wheel coated in grime moves less air, even if the ducts are spotless. Skipping this is a shortcut some companies take, and it is exactly the kind of shortcut we refuse.
Condenser and air handler cleaning
The condenser coil outside takes a beating from Conway’s rain, heat, and the fine pollen that settles on the fins. A dirty condenser rejects heat poorly, which shortens the life of the compressor. We clean and straighten fins, clear debris, and check refrigerant line condition. The air handler cabinet gets wiped down, inspected, and reassembled so every component is doing its job.
Trusted Brands We Service in Conway
Our crews in Conway work on systems from every major manufacturer, and we stock common replacement filters and parts locally so turnaround is fast. Whether your system uses Aprilaire filtration, a Guardsman coil guard, or a Honeywell UV lamp, our techs know the equipment. We also run Abatement Technologies containment units on larger commercial-spec jobs and Rotobrush brush systems on residential ductwork. If a Conway homeowner asks what tools we carry, the answer is not a truck-mounted vacuum with a spinning brush head. It is the same professional-grade fleet the brand runs everywhere.
Common HVAC Cleaning Problems We See in Conway Homes
- Humidity-driven biofilm on evaporator coils. The coil inside the air handler stays cold and damp nearly all year in Conway, which breeds biological growth fast. We see it on the majority of systems we open, and it explains most musty odor complaints.
- Clumped oak pollen in return ducts. Conway’s live oaks drop heavy pollen in spring, and that pollen mixes with indoor humidity to form a sticky paste inside ducts. Dry brushing does not remove it; rotary agitation plus HEPA extraction does.
- Restricted airflow from years of buildup. Many homes near Conway Road and the Conway Gardens area have central returns that have never been properly cleaned. Restricted airflow shortens blower life and pushes energy bills up. The fix is straightforward, but it only works if the coil is cleaned at the same time.
- Poor-quality prior cleanings. We regularly follow up behind companies that cut corners on negative pressure. In Conway’s humidity, debris knocked loose without proper HEPA filtration and containment just redistributes through the living space instead of leaving the system. We fix it properly, then show you photos so you know it stayed done.

FAQs About HVAC Cleaning in Conway
How often do ducts in Conway, FL genuinely need cleaning?
Most Conway homes need duct cleaning every three to five years. The humidity and oak pollen here stack up faster than in drier parts of Florida, but even so, annual cleaning is overkill for most households. Homes with pets, recent renovations, or smokers should lean toward the three-year mark. If your registers show visible lint, or the AC kicks up a musty smell, get an inspection before assuming it is time. Call (737) 727-2314 and we will tell you honestly whether it is time or not.
Why does my Conway home smell musty when the AC runs?
The most common cause is biological growth on the evaporator coil, fed by Conway’s constant humidity. The coil stays cold and wet, pollen sticks to it, and biofilm forms. Cleaning the ducts alone will not fix it; the coil itself must be cleaned and treated. We find this on the majority of systems we open in Conway, and it is one of the most satisfying fixes we do. Call (737) 727-2314 for a coil inspection.
Do you charge per vent or per system?
We charge one flat price per system. Per-vent pricing is how some companies quote a low number and then inflate the invoice once the crew is on site. Our price is written down and handed to you before a single duct is touched. It does not change at the door. Call (737) 727-2314 for a free written estimate.
Will I be able to see what was actually removed from my ducts?
Yes. Under The Relay Standard, every booking includes before-and-after photo documentation of your own ducts. You see what the camera saw before we started, and you see the same angles after. We were called to a home off Conway Road near the Conway Gardens area where the homeowner had a musty odor and visible lint at the supply registers. Camera inspection found the return duct lined with damp, pollen-heavy debris and the AC coil fouled with growth. We cleaned the air handler and coil, applied negative pressure throughout, and showed the homeowner before-and-after photographs of their own ducts before we left. That is standard practice, not a favor.
Can you promise same-day service in Conway?
No, and you should be wary of any company that does. HVAC cleaning is a scheduled job that takes four to six hours on a standard Conway home. Rushing it means cutting corners, and cutting corners in this humidity means debris redistributing through your living room. We schedule realistically, give you a live trackable arrival time, and complete the job right the first day. Call (737) 727-2314 to schedule.
