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.
Fast, Reliable HVAC Cleaning Across Keller
HVAC cleaning in Keller typically runs $425 – $690 for a complete system on a standard 1,800 – 2,400 sq ft home, and most jobs are scheduled within a few days. We clean the whole path your air travels, from the return boot behind your filter grille through the furnace cabinet, evaporator coil, blower wheel, and out to every supply register. If you’re in Keller and your vents are puffing dust or the house gets dusty days after you vacuum, call (737) 727-2314 and we’ll walk you through what’s actually worth cleaning and what isn’t.
Why Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning Is Keller’s Preferred HVAC Cleaning Company
Keller homeowners keep our number because we do one thing and we don’t pad the invoice. Our crews run Rotobrush rotary brush systems paired with Nikro HEPA-filtered negative air machines, the same setup commercial buildings require for source removal. That means the debris we loosen doesn’t float back through your living room. Omar Haddad leads the team, and every technician who steps out of the van is background-checked, uniformed, and knows the house before they walk in because you told us about it on the phone.
We also don’t hold Keller customers hostage with a four-hour arrival window. The Relay Standard means you get a live trackable arrival time, a written price before any work starts, and before-and-after photos of your own ducts sent straight to your phone. And if the job isn’t done right, the 365-Day Done Right Promise covers you for a full year. If it’s not right, we come back and make it right, no charge, no argument. That’s the longest satisfaction window in the trade, and it applies to every booking without exception.
Furnace Duct Cleaning in Keller
Furnace duct cleaning in Keller runs $425 – $690 for a typical full system, and it’s the job we do most often between October and February when the heat kicks on and homeowners start smelling burnt dust. Keller sits right on the line where the Blackland Prairie clays to the east give way to the sandy Cross Timbers soils to the west, so foundation movement varies block to block. That steady seasonal shifting is what cracks loose the flex-duct collars and joint tape we find in Keller attics far more often than the dust itself. The cleaning only matters if the system is sealed correctly first.
The process starts with camera inspection down the trunk line. We’re looking for separated collars, detached boots, and any place attic air is getting pulled into the return. Then we seal what needs sealing, run rotary brush agitation through the supply and return ductwork, and pull everything out under constant negative pressure with HEPA filtration. The furnace blower wheel and motor housing get cleaned by hand, not just blown off. Your furnace cabinet, heat exchanger surfaces that are safely accessible, and the return drop all get the same treatment before we walk the system with you and send the photos.
Heat Exchanger Cleaning Considerations
Heat exchangers in Keller furnaces collect a fine film of dust and pet dander every heating season, especially in homes off Keller Parkway where construction dust from newer builds finds its way into return air. We clean the accessible surfaces carefully, but we also flag any signs of rust, pitting, or cracking we see. If the heat exchanger looks compromised, we stop and tell you to have a licensed HVAC tech evaluate it before we clean, because cleaning a cracked exchanger won’t fix a carbon monoxide risk.
Blower Cleaning and Static Pressure
A clogged blower wheel can cut airflow by a third without ever making a noise you’d notice. We clean the wheel fins individually, check the motor for dust buildup, and measure static pressure after we’re done. Sometimes the real problem isn’t the duct, it’s a blower that’s been starved for air and worked harder than it should for years. That’s the kind of thing a per-vent cleaning never finds because nobody ever opens the cabinet.
AC Coil Cleaning in Keller
AC coil cleaning in Keller runs $225 – $385 as a standalone service, or we include the evaporator coil in a complete system cleaning for the full-system price. Keller summers push 100 degrees for weeks at a stretch, and the AC runs nearly nonstop from June through September. That means the evaporator coil takes on a mat of dust, lint, and condensation sludge that acts like a wet blanket on your cooling. A dirty coil makes the system run longer, use more electricity, and still leave the upstairs hot.
We clean evaporator coils with professional coil cleaners that break down the biofilm without eating the aluminum fins, then rinse and treat the coil surface with an anti-microbial coating that slows re-growth. The condensate pan and drain line get cleaned and flushed too, because a backed-up drain in a Keller attic will destroy ceilings and drywall faster than any dust problem ever could. The condenser coil outside gets its own cleaning with a coil comb and low-pressure rinse, because grass clippings, cottonwood fuzz, and Keller dust storms cake the outdoor unit every spring.
Coil Treatment and Airflow
After the coil is clean, we check the coil’s airside pressure drop and compare it to the blower’s capacity. A clean coil on a dirty blower still underperforms. If the blower wheel is caked, we tell you honestly and recommend the full system cleaning rather than charging you twice for half the fix. That’s the difference between cleaning coils and cleaning the system that feeds them.
Trusted Brands We Service in Keller
We clean and maintain HVAC equipment from every major manufacturer you’ll find in Keller homes, and our trucks carry parts for the brands we service most: Aprilaire, Honeywell, Trane, Lennox, Carrier, Rheem, and Goodman. If you have an Aprilaire whole-home filter cabinet or a Guardsman UV system installed, we know how to clean around it without damaging the lamp or the ballast. We also stock Guardsman and Rotobrush replacement brushes and HEPA filters on our trucks, so the job doesn’t get paused while someone runs to a supply house in Fort Worth. For Keller customers, that means one visit, one flat price, and a system that actually stays clean.
Common HVAC Cleaning Problems We See in Keller Homes
- Return-side flex duct separated at the collar. Keller’s clay-to-sand soil transition means foundations move, and the flex duct collars in attics take the strain. We find separations where attic air and insulation are being pulled directly into the return, past the filter, and through the entire system. Re-sealing those collars is often worth more than the cleaning itself.
- Blower wheels caked with years of film. Homes near Keller High School and along Johnson Road with mature landscaping deal with more fine dust and pollen than newer sections. That dust works its way past filters and builds up on the blower wheel fins until the motor is working against a wall of its own dirt. A per-vent cleaning never touches this. Full system cleaning does.
- Drain pans overflowing into ceilings. Keller AC units run hard all summer, and the condensate drains clog with sludge that we’ve seen destroy ceiling drywall and crown molding in homes across the 76248 zip. Cleaning the coil without flushing the drain line is a half-job. We do both every time.
- Contractors pricing per vent, not per system. We hear about Keller homeowners getting quotes priced per register, which quietly pushes people into skipping the air handler, blower, and coil entirely because every extra opening adds cost. That’s backwards. We price one flat rate for the whole system, and you decide from a written quote before we touch a single vent.

FAQs About HVAC Cleaning in Keller
Every 3 to 5 years is honest for most Keller homes. If you have pets, run the AC hard all summer, or did renovation work recently, 2 to 3 years may be right. But if you’re in a newer home on the west side with sealed ducts, a clean filter, and no allergies, we may tell you not to book yet. Our job is to tell you when cleaning is genuinely worth it, not sell you a date on a calendar. Call (737) 727-2314 and we’ll help you figure out whether you actually need it.
Per system. Always. We give you one flat written price for the complete HVAC cleaning before any work starts, and that price does not change at the door. The per-vent model is how Keller homeowners get talked into skipping the most important parts, because every vent adds cost. We won’t do that to you. One system, one price, and you see the full written quote before we touch a register.
Negative pressure means the entire duct system is kept under vacuum while we work, so loose dust, debris, and insulation fibers that get knocked loose by the rotary brush go straight into a HEPA-filtered collection unit instead of floating back into your living room. It’s the difference between cleaning your ducts and just redistributing the dust. Our Nikro HEPA units pull 5,000 CFM or more through the system continuously, and the air leaving our truck is cleaner than the air that went in. For Keller attics with loose-fill insulation, this matters because it’s the only reliable way to keep disturbed insulation out of the air you breathe.
Yes, and we recommend it. The furnace ducts and the AC coil share the same air path, so cleaning one without the other is cutting the job in half. When we do a complete system cleaning, the evaporator coil, blower wheel, furnace cabinet, and all ductwork get cleaned in a single visit with one flat price. You get before-and-after photos of every component, including the coil, so you can see exactly what was removed. Call (737) 727-2314 to schedule both together and save the cost of a second trip charge.
No, and we won’t pretend to. HVAC cleaning is a scheduled job that takes 3 to 5 hours when done correctly, with camera inspection, sealing, brushing, HEPA extraction, and component cleaning. We don’t rush through it to fit a same-day slot. We’ll get you booked for the earliest available appointment, and when we arrive, you’ll have a written price in hand before any work starts. The 365-Day Done Right Promise backs the work, so if anything isn’t right, we come back and fix it at no charge for a full year.
