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.

Why Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning Is Leesburg’s Preferred HVAC Cleaning Company
Leesburg homeowners call us because we answer the phone and we don’t invent prices on the driveway. Every technician is background-checked, arrives in uniform, and works with professional-grade equipment: Rotobrush rotary brush systems for agitation, Nikro HEPA-rated vacuums for negative-pressure extraction, and Abatement Technologies containment units when the job calls for it. That means the loosened debris goes straight into the vacuum, not back into your living room.
We also operate under The Relay Standard, the booking experience every Cardinal location follows. You get a live arrival window you can track, photo proof of the work, and a digital invoice payable from a link. No phone tag, no guessing when the crew shows up. Omar Haddad oversees our service standards, and the Relay Home Co. family has held its locations to these practices since 2005.
Our HVAC Cleaning team serves the full Leesburg area, and we schedule directly from our Miami office. Dispatch is coordinated there, but the crews working in your home are local to the Leesburg market and know the housing stock well.
Furnace Duct Cleaning in Leesburg
Furnace Duct Cleaning in Leesburg is the full path from your return register to your supply vents in homes where the furnace shares the air handler with the cooling system. Every branch run, the main trunk, and the return side get cleaned under negative pressure, so the crud we loosen is pulled to the HEPA filter instead of drifting into the kitchen. In Leesburg, we scope with a camera before quoting because older lakefront homes and manufactured homes often carry original rigid metal runs, while homes built along the US-441 corridor in the 1990s and 2000s may have flexible R-6 duct that sags and collapses between trusses.
Expect to pay $390 – $680 for a complete furnace duct cleaning on a standard Leesburg single-family home. Variables are system size, the number of runs, and whether the air handler is in a closet, a garage, or a 105°F attic. The price is one flat rate per system, written before we start.
What the Process Covers
We start with a camera inspection so we can see liner condition, takeoff connections, and any dust loading at the return. Then we run the Rotobrush agitation tools through each branch while the Nikro HEPA vacuum keeps the system under negative pressure. The blower compartment, return plenum, and supply trunk get the same treatment.
When Leesburg Homeowners Actually Need It
Call us if you see dust streaks at the return grill, reduced airflow at far registers, or a musty smell when the fan cycles. Those are signs of restricted airflow or biological growth, not just normal dust. Most Leesburg homes with a single system and clean filters need this every 3 – 5 years, not annually.
AC Coil Cleaning in Leesburg
AC Coil Cleaning in Leesburg matters because a dirty evaporator coil in a Florida attic or closet kills efficiency fast. The coil is where refrigerant absorbs heat from the air moving across it. When it’s caked with dust and biofilm, the system runs longer to hit the same thermostat setting. In Leesburg, where the cooling season stretches from March into October, that means real dollars on the Duke Energy bill.
Coil cleaning runs $145 – $280 on its own, and it’s a natural add-on during a full HVAC cleaning since the plenum is already open. We clean the coil with dedicated coil tools and a no-rinse treatment, and every repair we make comes with a written guarantee. If it fails, we return free under the 365-Day Done Right Promise.
Signs Your Coil Is Loaded
You’ll notice the system runs long and the house still feels humid. The air at the supply register won’t be much cooler than the return air. In homes near Lake Harris or the lakes in the Plantation area, the extra moisture in the air tends to make coil fouling worse, because biological growth starts sooner.
Why We Do It While the Plenum Is Open
If the coil is dirty and we’re cleaning the ducts, leaving the coil alone means the next cooling cycle re-seeds those clean ducts with whatever is on the fins. It’s a missed opportunity. We’d rather clean it once, document it with photos, and show you the before and after.
Trusted Brands We Service in Leesburg
Our techs service every major HVAC brand you’ll find in Leesburg homes: Carrier, Trane, Rheem, Goodman, Lennox, Bryant, York, and Daikin. We stock common parts for these systems locally, which means faster turnaround when your air handler needs a new capacitor or a condensate trap. When filter replacement comes up, we work with Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Guardsman filtration products so you can choose the MERV rating that fits your home. The equipment we run is the same professional-grade standard regardless of the brand sitting in your closet or attic: Rotobrush, Nikro, and Abatement Technologies.
Common HVAC Cleaning Problems We See in Leesburg Homes
- Collapsed flexible duct liners in the US-441 corridor. Homes built from the mid-1990s through the 2000s often use flexible R-6 duct in the attic. In a 105°F attic, the inner liner can separate and collapse at the takeoffs, which chokes airflow and makes vent-count pricing wildly wrong.
- Rust and moisture in older lakefront homes. Homes near Lake Harris and Lake Griffin run humid air through original rigid metal trunk lines. Rust scale and dust bond inside those runs, and the blower wheel gets a fine coating that cuts airflow.
- Manufactured home systems with shared return paths. In older manufactured home parks across Leesburg, the return often pulls from a single hallway grill. That concentrates dust loading at the blower and the coil, and cleaning just the registers does nothing for the source.
- Dryer vents that get mistaken for included work. On older Leesburg homes with long, elbow-heavy dryer runs, the exhaust pathway is full of lint. That is a fire risk, not a routine nuisance. It’s a separate duct, and if you don’t ask, it isn’t cleaned. We ask.

FAQs About HVAC Cleaning in Leesburg
Per system, always. $390 – $680 for a complete HVAC cleaning on a standard Leesburg home, agreed before work starts. Vent-count pricing fails in Leesburg because flexible duct in a hot attic can collapse the inner liner at the takeoffs, which no driveway glance will ever reveal. We camera-scope first, then quote one flat rate. Call (737) 727-2314 for an exact written quote.
Every 3 – 5 years for most homes with routine filter changes and no major renovation dust. Some homes need it sooner: those near new construction off CR-48, homes with pets and smokers, or anywhere you see dust streaks at the return and weak airflow at far registers. If you change filters regularly and the air still smells stale, the ducts are worth scoping. We’ll tell you straight if they don’t need cleaning yet.
Yes. We run the system under negative pressure using Nikro HEPA-rated vacuums while the Rotobrush tools agitate the duct surfaces. That’s the NADCA approach: loosened material gets pulled to the vacuum at the same time, not pushed around your home. The HEPA filter catches what the agitation releases.
Yes, and we recommend it. The coil sits in the airstream, and when it’s dirty, it re-seeds the clean ducts as soon as the system runs. We clean it with coil-safe tools and a no-rinse treatment, document the before and after, and add $145 – $280 to the quote. It’s the single best efficiency gain for a Leesburg cooling season.
Yes. We clean the dryer vent as a separate service ($89 – $139), because it’s a distinct duct and a known fire risk on older Leesburg homes with long elbow-heavy runs. As for the filter, MERV 8 – 11 is right for most homes in Leesburg. Higher isn’t always better: MERV 13 can restrict airflow on older systems. If you want finer filtration, we’ll check the static pressure before recommending an Aprilaire or Honeywell cabinet.
