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 Holiday
HVAC cleaning in Holiday, FL typically starts with a camera inspection of your ductwork and air handler, because what your system actually needs depends on what’s living inside those 1970s flex-duct runs. A full source-removal cleaning on a typical Holiday ranch runs $425 – $690 per system, with coil cleaning priced separately at $180 – $340. We serve all of Holiday from the Anclote River basin up through neighborhoods around Darlington Road and Moog Road, and when you call us at (737) 727-2314, a live person answers. That’s the whole point of how we work at Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning.
We’re not the per-vent outfit. We’re HVAC Cleaning done the way Holiday’s housing stock actually requires: negative-pressure source removal, a camera before and after, and one flat price per system agreed before a single duct is touched.
Why Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning Is Holiday’s Preferred HVAC Cleaning Company
Holiday homeowners keep calling us back for one reason: we show up with professional-grade equipment and a written price, and we don’t upsell a cleaning your system doesn’t need. Omar Haddad runs our team with a simple rule. If the work isn’t right within 365 days, we return and correct it at no charge. That’s the 365-Day Done Right Promise, and it applies to every booking in Holiday without exception.
Every technician who arrives at your door in Holiday is background-checked and in uniform, running Rotobrush brush systems and Nikro HEPA vacuums. You’ll know the tech’s name before they knock. The Relay Standard booking experience means you get a live arrival window you can track from your phone, before-and-after photographs of your own ducts, and a digital invoice payable by link. No vague estimates, no four-hour windows, no price that shifts once the van is parked on your Tanglewood or Tahitian Gardens street.
We coordinate dispatch and scheduling for Holiday from our South FL operations office, but the crews working your system are local, and they know the difference between a manufactured home on a slab and a 1960s ranch with a hallway closet air handler. That matters for accessibility, and it matters for pricing.
AC Coil Cleaning in Holiday
AC Coil Cleaning in Holiday is the difference between an air conditioner that cools and one that just moves warm, humid air around your manufactured home off Mile Stretch Drive. Your evaporator coil sits inside the air handler, and in Holiday’s salt-tinged, humid climate, that coil collects a film of dust, pollen, and biological growth faster than most homeowners realize. When the coil is coated, the refrigerant can’t absorb heat properly, your compressor works harder, and your July electric bill climbs.
For a Holiday home, evaporator coil cleaning typically runs $180 – $340 depending on access. A hallway closet air handler in a 1972 ranch takes longer to break down and reassemble than a garage-mounted unit in a newer home off Flora Avenue. We’ll give you a written quote before work starts, and that number does not change at the door.
Evaporator Coil Cleaning
We pull the coil access panel, inspect the coil with a camera, and use a professional-grade coil cleaner that dissolves the film without corroding the aluminum fins. On most Holiday systems, the coil is original to the house, which means careful handling matters. We also check the condensate drain line while we’re in there. Clogged drain lines cause water damage in hallway closets all over Holiday.
Coil Treatment
After the coil is clean, we apply a protective coil treatment that slows biological regrowth. In Holiday’s humidity, this isn’t an upsell. It’s the difference between a coil that stays clean for a year and one that’s back to clogged within a season. We’ll show you the before-and-after photos of your own coil before we pack up.
AC Cleaning in Holiday
AC Cleaning in Holiday means cleaning the entire airflow path, not just the registers you can see from the living room. On a Holiday ranch, that path runs from the return grill, through flex-duct branches snaking through a hot attic or low crawlspace, into the air handler, across the coil, and back out through supply runs and registers. A proper cleaning addresses all of it.
A full AC cleaning in Holiday runs $425 – $690 per system. What drives the range isn’t the number of vents. It’s duct length, accessibility, and the condition of the air handler. We’ll inspect first, quote a flat price per system, and that’s the number you pay. No per-vent math, no bait-and-switch.
Blower Cleaning
The blower motor and wheel move every cubic foot of conditioned air in your Holiday home. When the blower wheel is caked with dust, airflow drops, your system short-cycles, and your energy bills rise. We pull the blower assembly, clean the wheel, and check the motor’s amp draw. Most Holiday blowers we service haven’t been cleaned since the house was built.
Air Handler Cleaning
The air handler is the box in your hallway closet or utility room that houses the coil, blower, and often the heat strip. In Holiday’s 1960s and 1970s homes, these closets are tight, and the handler is frequently wedged in with the return plenum pulling from the wall behind it. We clean the cabinet interior, the blower, the coil compartment, and the drain pan. Then we change your filter and reseal the access panel properly.
Trusted Brands We Service in Holiday
We service and clean every major HVAC brand you’ll find in Holiday, and we stock the filtration products that keep your newly cleaned system performing. That includes Aprilaire filter cabinets, which we install and service regularly for Holiday homeowners who want a furnace filter that actually captures dust rather than just giving it a path back into the ductwork. Our fleet runs Rotobrush rotary brush systems for agitation and Abatement Technologies containment units where a Holiday crawlspace or attic makes source-removal more demanding. If you’re running a Guardsman or Aprilaire filtration setup, our techs know how to clean around it correctly, not work against it.
Common HVAC Cleaning Problems We See in Holiday Homes
- Per-vent pricing games on 1960s – 1970s ranches. A Holiday ranch with 12 registers and a manufactured home with 6 should not pay wildly different totals for comparable ductwork. Vent count tells you nothing about the actual length of the runs or the condition of the air handler. We quote one flat price per system, agreed before work starts.
- Shop-vac jobs passed off as professional cleaning. Low-clearance flex duct from the 1970s collapses easily, and a shop-vac and a brush just push loose debris into the next branch instead of removing it. We set up negative pressure with a Nikro HEPA unit so loosened dust goes into the vacuum, not back into your Holiday living room.
- Cleanings sold when the system doesn’t need one. A home with no pets, no recent renovation dust, and a properly fitted MERV filter often needs a camera inspection and a filter change, not a full source-removal job. We’ll tell you if your ducts honestly don’t need cleaning, and we’ll show you the camera footage to prove it.
- Air handler closets that have never been opened since the Reagan administration. We see Holiday homes off Darlington Road and around Key Vista where the air handler accessibility is so poor that previous techs simply skipped the coil and blower. Skipping it isn’t a cleaning. It’s a partial wipe-down that leaves the real problem in place.
Pricing for HVAC Cleaning in Holiday, FL
Here’s the honest version. A full HVAC cleaning on a typical Holiday single-story home runs $425 – $690 per system. Evaporator coil cleaning alone runs $180 – $340.

FAQs About HVAC Cleaning in Holiday
Most Holiday homes honestly need a professional cleaning every 3 to 5 years, but that number shifts fast with pets, smokers, recent renovation dust, or a central system that has been running without proper filtration for years. If you’ve never had your 1970s flex ducts cleaned since buying the house, they’re probably overdue. If you have no pets, no renovation, and a properly fitted MERV 13 filter, a camera inspection will often tell us you don’t need a full cleaning yet. Call (737) 727-2314 and we’ll inspect before we ever quote you a cleaning.
We charge a flat rate per system, agreed in writing before any work starts. Per-vent pricing is how Holiday homeowners end up paying $500 for a partial job that should have been a straightforward $425 source-removal cleaning, or how a manufactured home with only 6 registers gets upsold into a price that makes no sense for the actual duct length. Our price covers the return side, supply side, air handler, blower, and both coils for one system. That number doesn’t change at the door.
You’ll see before-and-after photographs of your own ducts, coil, and plenum, not stock photos. We run a camera inspection before we start and after we finish, and you get those images as part of your job record through the Relay Standard digital invoice. If you want to look inside the plenum yourself while the technician is still on site, we’re happy to show you live on the camera screen.
Yes, and that closet placement is one of the reasons we’re so particular about camera inspections and careful disassembly. Holiday’s 1960s and 1970s ranches and manufactured homes put air handlers in tight hallway closets where a tech who rushes will scratch trim, rip flex, or skip the blower entirely. Our techs routinely work in those closets, and they carry the right tools to break down an air handler cleanly and put it back correctly. Tell us what your closet clearance looks like when you call, and we’ll plan accordingly.
HVAC cleaning is a scheduled job, not an emergency call, and doing it right takes time. We don’t promise same-day service because we won’t rush a source-removal cleaning into a half-day that your system and your ducts don’t deserve. We do offer flexible scheduling that respects your week, and we can often get to your Holiday home within a few days. Call (737) 727-2314 and we’ll find the earliest slot that gives your system the full cleaning it needs.
