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 usually means the full system: return ducts, supply ducts, the air handler, blower, and evaporator coil. Most standard homes here run $450 – $750 for a complete cleaning, though older homes with original rigid metal ductwork sometimes land closer to $800 when the panned joist returns need extra attention. We work throughout Georgetown with professional-grade equipment, and Omar Haddad leads our crew. If you’re noticing weak airflow from your registers or dust settling back on surfaces within days of cleaning, call (737) 727-2314 and we’ll talk through what your system actually needs.
Why Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning Is Georgetown’s Preferred HVAC Cleaning Company
We’ve cleaned systems in Sun City, along Williams Drive, in Old Town, and through the newer neighborhoods off Highway 29. Georgetown homeowners call us because we do the job differently than the fly-by-night crews. Here’s what that looks like on the ground.
Every booking starts with The Relay Standard. You get a live arrival window you can track from your phone, a written price before any work begins, background-checked technicians in uniform, and photo documentation of everything we clean. You’ll know your tech’s name before they knock. When we finish, you get a digital invoice payable by link, plus before-and-after photos of your own ducts, not stock images.
Omar Haddad makes sure every Georgetown job is held to the 365-Day Done Right Promise. If the work isn’t right within a full year, we return and correct it at no charge. No fine print, no prorating. That applies to every booking without exception.
We also answer the phone. A live person picks up 24/7, so when you call (737) 727-2314, you’re not leaving a voicemail and hoping for a callback.
Furnace Cleaning in Georgetown
Furnace cleaning in Georgetown matters most in late fall, right before the first real cold snap hits. Our team removes the blower assembly, cleans the heat exchanger, clears the burner area, and pulls debris from the supply plenum and trunk lines. Georgetown’s older homes, particularly those built around Sun City and the downtown grid before 1995, often have gas furnaces paired with original rigid metal ductwork. That setup collects dust differently than the flex-duct systems in newer Austin suburbs, and it needs a crew comfortable with old sheet metal, not just a vacuum hose.
A standard gas furnace cleaning in Georgetown typically runs $300 – $500 when bundled with full duct cleaning. Standalone furnace cleaning usually lands between $200 and $350 depending on access and how much buildup has collected on the blower wheel.
What full furnace cleaning includes
We pull the blower motor, brush the blower wheel fins, vacuum the blower compartment, and clean both sides of the heat exchanger. A dirty blower wheel puts extra strain on the motor and drops airflow, which means your furnace runs longer to hit the same temperature. On furnaces with accessible evaporator coils above the air handler, we clean those too.
Why Georgetown furnaces need pre-season attention
Dust from our limestone soil is fine and finds its way into return air paths fast. When your furnace sits idle through nine months of cooling season, that dust settles into the blower and heat exchanger. The first heating cycle burns it off as that faint smoky smell you may have noticed in past winters. Cleaning before the season means you don’t spend November breathing that.
AC Vent Cleaning in Georgetown
AC vent cleaning in Georgetown is really about the whole supply run from plenum to register. You can’t just wipe the visible vent cover and call it done. We remove each register, brush and vacuum the accessible supply runs, clean the register itself, and reconnect everything properly. On older Georgetown homes with rigid metal ducts, we also check for loose joints and gaps where attic air gets pulled in.
For a typical Georgetown home with 10 – 14 registers, AC vent cleaning as part of a full HVAC Cleaning package usually runs $150 – $250 on top of the base system price. Standalone vent cleaning is rare because cleaning vents without the trunk lines and return side only solves part of the dust problem.
Weak airflow from certain vents
If one bedroom in Sun City gets strong airflow and the master suite barely gets any, the issue is usually a restricted duct run or a dirty blower, not just a dirty vent. We camera-inspect the run after cleaning to confirm it’s clear. On panned joist returns, we remove the pan and clean the hidden cavity underneath, which is where years of lint and construction debris accumulate.
After cleaning what changes
You’ll notice less dust on furniture within a week or two, less visible dust blowing when the AC kicks on, and in many cases, the system reaches temperature faster. We photograph every vent and trunk line before and after so you can see exactly what came out.
Trusted Brands We Service in Georgetown
We service and clean systems from every major manufacturer you’ll find in Georgetown: Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Rheem, Goodman, and American Standard. We also work on older units from brands that are no longer in production. Our techs carry Rotobrush rotary agitation tools for the ductwork, Nikro HEPA-filtered vacuums for negative-pressure extraction, and Abatement Technologies containment units when a job calls for it. What this means for your Georgetown home: we’re not running a shop-vac and calling it duct cleaning. When a blower wheel is caked, we can clean it properly. When a coil is fouled, we have the tools to restore airflow without damaging fins. We also stock common filtration upgrades, including Honeywell and Aprilaire media, and Guardsman products where they apply to your system.
Common HVAC Cleaning Problems We See in Georgetown Homes
- Panned joist returns packed with lint and debris. Homes built before 1995 often use the cavity between floor joists as a return air path. Contractors in that era left them unlined and unsealed, which means they collect dust, pet hair, and even construction debris. Most crews skip them; we don’t.
- Rigid metal ducts that are harder to clean than flex. Older Georgetown homes have short, unsealed sheet metal runs with 90-degree elbows that collect debris. It takes more labor than sliding a brush through long flex duct, which is exactly why our flat-price model exists – you know the cost upfront, not after the tech sees the ductwork.
- Dirty evaporator coils from constant AC use. Georgetown runs air conditioning from March through October most years. That’s eight straight months of moisture across the coil, which turns dust into a paste that clogs fins and raises humidity indoors.
- Dusty blower motors causing high energy bills. A blower wheel loaded with dust moves less air and draws more amps. Homeowners notice rooms that never cool properly, then higher utility bills as the system runs longer to compensate.
Pricing for HVAC Cleaning in Georgetown, TX
Most complete HVAC cleanings in Georgetown run $450 – $750 for a standard single-family home. That’s the whole system: supply ducts, return ducts, air handler, blower, and evaporator coil when accessible. Older homes with original rigid metal ductwork and panned joist returns can land at $700 – $900 because the return side alone can take an extra hour or more. Condos and smaller homes often come in around $350 – $500. Furnace cleaning alone runs $200 – $350, and evaporator coil cleaning as a standalone service typically costs $180 – $300. The price we quote is the price you pay. One flat price per system, written down before any work starts, and it does not change at the door. Call (737) 727-2314 for an exact quote.

FAQs About HVAC Cleaning in Georgetown
Most Georgetown homes need full HVAC cleaning every 3 – 5 years. Homes with pets, allergy sufferers, recent renovation work, or occupants who smoke may need it every 2 – 3 years. If your home is in an older Sun City or downtown property with original panned joist returns, the first cleaning should happen as soon as possible if it has never been done. After that first deep clean, the 3 – 5 year interval works for most households. Call (737) 727-2314 and describe your system; we’ll give you an honest timeline, not a sales pitch.
We charge one flat price per system, not per vent. You get a written price before any work starts, and that number does not change when the tech sees your ductwork. Per-vent pricing is how the bait-and-switch crews hook people: the quote sounds low because they count 8 vents, then once they’re in the attic they “discover” you actually have 14 runs plus a return plenum that needs sealing. You won’t see that from us. The price we quote for your Georgetown home is the price you pay.
Yes. Every Georgetown job includes before-and-after photo documentation of your ductwork, air handler, blower, and coil. You’ll see what the inside of your return ducts looked like before we started and what they look like after. These are photos of your home, not a generic gallery. The photos are delivered digitally along with your invoice, and they’re yours to keep.
Filters catch airborne dust before it enters the return side, but they don’t stop everything. Fine dust settles in the return ducts, blower wheel, and evaporator coil over time. In Georgetown’s older homes, the unlined panned joist returns pull in dust from the wall cavities and floor joists themselves, bypassing the filter entirely. Your filter might be doing its job while dust still collects downstream. Regular filter changes slow buildup, but they don’t prevent it forever.
We don’t overpromise same-day service because proper HVAC cleaning in Georgetown takes several hours and is scheduled in advance. Every job gets a written quote first, so the tech arrives knowing exactly what the system requires. We do offer flexible scheduling and a live arrival window so you’re never stuck waiting for a four-hour block. Call (737) 727-2314 to find the next available slot; we’ll get you on the calendar with a tracking link.
