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 Georgetown
HVAC Cleaning in Georgetown typically runs $425 – $715 for a complete furnace and AC system on a standard single-family home, and the work takes about four to six hours. That price covers the full job: evaporator coil, blower wheel, heat exchanger inspection, supply and return ducts, and the air handler. We’re the duct specialists in the Relay Home Co. family, and every Georgetown booking includes a written price before we touch a single vent. Call (737) 727-2314 for a free estimate.
Get your exact price before we start
No per-vent surprises. No upsell at the door. You get one flat price per system, in writing, agreed before work begins. Georgetown homes range from four registers in a 900-square-foot downtown cottage to eighteen in a new two-story off Williams Drive, so per-vent pricing is a trap for bigger houses. We quote the whole system, not the vent count.
Your ducts, documented before and after
Every HVAC cleaning job includes before-and-after photos of your own ducts. You see what we found, what we removed, and what the interior looked like when we finished. If a section didn’t need cleaning, we’ll tell you that too. Our job is to be honest about what’s actually in your system, not to sell you work you don’t need.
Why Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning Is Georgetown’s Preferred HVAC Cleaning Company
Homeowners near the historic Williamson County Courthouse call us because we don’t treat their 1900s galvanized ductwork like a new-build flex-duct job. The two are completely different animals, and a crew that doesn’t know the difference will either under-clean or overcharge. Georgetown’s housing stock spans a century of construction methods, and our technicians have worked every era of it.
We carry the equipment that actually matters on older homes: Rotobrush rotary brushes for source removal in pitted metal ducts, Nikro HEPA-filtered negative-pressure vacuums that pull loosened debris straight out of the house instead of stirring it into the living room, and Abatement Technologies containment units when we’re opening a plenum or pulling a blower in a finished basement. Background-checked, uniformed techs arrive with your booking details and a phone-native trackable arrival window under The Relay Standard. You’ll know the tech’s name before the door opens.
Every job is covered by the 365-Day Done Right Promise. If the work isn’t right within a full year, we come back and make it right at no charge. That applies to every booking, not select ones. Omar Haddad leads our team with a simple rule: if we wouldn’t accept it in our own home, we don’t accept it in yours.
For HVAC Cleaning across the Georgetown area, this is the standard: written price first, photo proof after, and a year-long guarantee behind it all.
Furnace Cleaning in Georgetown
Furnace cleaning in Georgetown homes is a job we do year-round, because the blower wheel and heat exchanger collect dust, pet hair, and fine debris even when the AC runs most of the summer. A typical furnace cleaning here runs $180 – $340 as a standalone service, or it’s bundled into a full-system HVAC Cleaning in Georgetown at the $425 – $715 range. If your furnace smells musty when it first kicks on, or a register closest to the unit whistles, the blower is usually working against a layer of buildup.
Blower wheel and housing removal
We pull the blower assembly, not just vacuum around it. In Georgetown’s older homes, we regularly find squirrel-cage wheels packed 40 – 60% full of pet hair, construction dust, and the fine gray powder that settles off galvanized duct interiors. Cleaning the wheel by hand and reinstalling takes time, but it’s the difference between a quiet system and one that hums louder every winter.
Heat exchanger inspection
While the blower is out, we inspect the heat exchanger for cracks, rust pitting, and carbon buildup. This is a safety check as much as a cleaning step. Georgetown’s temperature swings from cold Sierra-adjacent nights to triple-digit summer days put real thermal stress on furnace components, and a small crack is easier and cheaper to address than a CO leak discovered in January.
AC Vent Cleaning in Georgetown
our Air Duct Cleaning in Georgetown is really about the coil and the air handler, not just wiping register faces. A complete AC side cleaning runs $200 – $400 for coil removal, fin combing, and drain pan treatment, and it’s most needed after a dusty summer or in homes where the condenser sits near gravel, bare dirt, or pine duff. Georgetown’s dry-season dust settles into the evaporator fins and cuts airflow without ever being visible from the hallway.
Evaporator coil and condensate care
We pull the coil, inspect the fins, and apply a coil-safe cleaner that breaks down the oily film dust sticks to. Then we flush the condensate line and treat the pan. A clogged line in an upstairs Georgetown home can dump water through a ceiling in hours, and most clogs start as dust washed off a dirty coil.
Supply register and return path clearing
Each supply register gets pulled and the branch run behind it gets brushed back to the trunk. Returns get the same treatment. In Georgetown’s downtown historic homes, returns often run through wall cavities behind plaster and lathe, and that’s where we use negative-pressure extraction. It means the loosened debris goes straight into the HEPA vacuum, not back into the room.
Trusted Brands We Service in Georgetown
We service and clean every major HVAC brand found in Georgetown homes: Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Goodman, Rheem, York, Bryant, and American Standard. We also install Guardsman filtration products and work with Aprilaire filter housings when a home needs better media filtration than a one-inch fiberglass panel. If you’ve got an older system with an Aprilaire bypass that’s been pulling unfiltered air, we’ll find it and seal it. That’s the kind of thing most Georgetown duct cleaners miss because they never pull the filter housing off the return.
Common HVAC Cleaning Problems We See in Georgetown Homes
- Historic-district galvanized ducts with pitted interiors. The rough, rust-pitted surface of 70-year-old supply ducts holds debris that a surface brush pass doesn’t lift. Without true source removal, they look clean in a photo but re-contaminate the air handler within weeks.
- Construction dust in new-build flex duct. Georgetown subdivision homes built fast in the 2010s and 2020s often have drywall dust and sawdust packed into flex runs from day one. Builders don’t clean ducts before closing, so the first owners breathe that for years.
- Bypassed or missing filter media. We find Aprilaire housings with a gap at the bottom edge, or filters installed backwards, or no filter in the slot at all. The fan pulls unfiltered air straight into the coil and blower.
- Pet hair embedded in blower wheels. Georgetown has a high share of multi-pet households, and the fine hair makes it past most returns and wraps the blower cage. The first symptom is usually a register near the air handler that whistles or a system that runs longer to hit the thermostat setting.
Pricing for HVAC Cleaning in Georgetown, CA
Here are our flat, per-system prices in Georgetown:

- Evaporator coil cleaning (standalone): $140 – $260

FAQs About HVAC Cleaning in Georgetown
Per system, always. We quote one flat price for your whole furnace, AC side, and duct runs before we start, and it doesn’t change at the door. Per-vent pricing punishes Georgetown’s larger homes and hides the real scope of the job. Call (737) 727-2314 for a written quote.
Every 4 to 6 years for most homes, sooner if you’ve had a renovation, multiple pets, or bought a home that sat through dusty construction. Some Georgetown homes don’t need it yet, and we’ll tell you that honestly. Photos from the inspection tell the story either way.
Negative pressure means our HEPA vacuum is pulling air out of your ducts the whole time we brush, so loosened debris goes straight into the vacuum instead of floating back into your living room. Source removal means we physically remove the debris from the duct surface with rotary brushes, not just blow it around or spray a deodorizer over it. Both matter on Georgetown’s older galvanized ducts, where surface dirt hides in pitted metal.
Yes, and most Georgetown customers do both at once. We pull the blower, clean the evaporator coil, brush the supply and return runs, and inspect the heat exchanger in a single four-to-six-hour appointment. One flat price covers the full system.
We don’t book same-day cleaning. This is scheduled work that takes half a day or more, and doing it right means the paperwork and photos are set up before we arrive. A live person answers calls around the clock at (737) 727-2314, so you can book the next available slot without leaving a voicemail.
