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.

We know Liberty Hill’s housing stock better than most because we see it every week. New construction near Santa Rita Ranch sits blocks away from 1980s ranches with original ductwork. Those two homes need very different approaches. Our HVAC Cleaning team carries equipment sized for both tight attic spaces in new builds and sprawling single-story layouts in older homes. A live person answers when you call, and we’ll get you on the schedule without a phone-tag runaround.
Why Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning Is Liberty Hill’s Preferred HVAC Cleaning Company
Liberty Hill homeowners call us because we show up with a written price, a trackable arrival window, and technicians whose names they know before the door opens. That’s the Relay Standard, and it applies to every job in Liberty Hill without exception. No vague estimates. No price changes at the van. No wondering who’s walking up the driveway.
Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed, and they run professional equipment, not a truck-mounted shop vac. Rotobrush rotary brush systems loosen debris, Nikro HEPA vacuums pull it out under negative pressure, and Abatement Technologies containment units keep the mess contained to the ductwork. 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 covers every booking we take in Liberty Hill.
Omar Haddad leads our team, and he holds every job to the same standard: before-and-after photos of your actual ducts, not stock images. You’ll see the inside of your air handler before we touch it and after we finish. That’s the proof most Liberty Hill homeowners say they’ve never gotten from another company.
Evaporator Coil Cleaning in Liberty Hill
Evaporator coil cleaning in Liberty Hill homes runs $150 to $300 as a standalone service, and it’s the single most overlooked part of HVAC maintenance in this climate. The coil sits inside your air handler, where it pulls heat and humidity out of the air. When it’s caked with dust and pet hair, your AC runs longer, pushes less cold air, and drives your July electric bill up. In Liberty Hill, where summer temps regularly sit above 95 degrees with high humidity, that coil works harder than systems in drier parts of Texas.
When the Coil Needs Attention
Look for weak airflow from vents, ice forming on the outside refrigerant line, or an AC that never quite reaches the thermostat setting. In Liberty Hill’s newer homes, we often find coils coated in drywall dust from construction that should have been cleaned before move-in. In older homes, it’s usually years of accumulated dust and pet hair that’s formed a mat on the coil surface.
How We Clean It
We remove the access panel, inspect the coil with a camera, and apply a professional-grade coil cleaner that breaks down the buildup. Then we rinse and verify with before-and-after photos. If the coil is heavily fouled, we’ll recommend a full system clean instead, and we’ll show you the photo evidence that supports that call.
AC Duct Cleaning in Liberty Hill
AC duct cleaning in Liberty Hill costs $350 to $650 for a complete system on a typical home, and that price covers the supply ducts, return ducts, air handler, blower, and evaporator coil. We price per system, not per vent. That distinction matters more in Liberty Hill than almost anywhere we work, because the housing stock swings so wildly from brand-new to decades-old, and per-vent pricing invites surprise charges the moment a technician sees what’s actually in your ductwork.
The Negative Pressure Difference
We use negative pressure source removal. That means the vacuum pulls air through the ducts the entire time we’re agitating debris loose, so the dust and rodent debris goes into the HEPA filtration unit, not back into your living room. It’s the difference between actually removing contaminants and just stirring them around. In Liberty Hill’s older homes with brittle flex duct, this approach prevents damage that aggressive brushing alone can cause.
What You Get When We’re Done
You get before-and-after photos of your own ducts and air handler, a written report of what we found and what we did, and a digital invoice you can pay from your phone. No guesswork. No trust-me. You’ll see bare metal where there used to be a dust crust. If you’re not satisfied within 365 days, we come back and make it right.
Trusted Brands We Service in Liberty Hill
We clean and service all major HVAC equipment brands found in Liberty Hill homes, including Trane, Carrier, Lennox, Goodman, Rheem, and American Standard. We also carry Aprilaire filtration products and Guardsman treatments for customers who want better air quality after the ducts are clean. On a ranch near the intersection of Ranch Road 1869 and County Road 200, we cleaned a 1990s system where the Aprilaire filter had been bypassed for years. Our tech performed negative pressure source removal on the supply and return ducts, pulled a handful of rodent nesting material from the air handler, and used agitation tools to free caked dust from the evaporator coil. After cleaning, a camera inspection showed bare metal, and the homeowner had before-and-after photos of their own ducts to prove it.
Common HVAC Cleaning Problems We See in Liberty Hill Homes
- Drywall dust in new construction flex duct. Homes built in the last five years across Liberty Hill, especially near Santa Rita Ranch and the new subdivisions along Highway 29, often have significant drywall dust packed into their ductwork. Builders run the HVAC during construction, and that dust settles deep in the system.
- Rodent and insect debris in older ranches. Liberty Hill’s rural properties and pre-2000 homes frequently have evidence of rodents in the ductwork. Nesting material, droppings, and shed insect casings collect in the air handler and returns, and they recirculate through the house every time the blower runs.
- Bypassed or collapsed filtration. We regularly find filters that were the wrong size, installed backward, or just missing entirely. On one Liberty Hill job, the filter slot had been bypassed with a piece of cardboard. That sends every particle straight into the coil.
- Brittle flex duct from attic heat exposure. Liberty Hill’s summer attic temperatures can exceed 140 degrees. Over time, that heat breaks down the plastic liner on flex duct, causing cracks that pull hot, dusty attic air into the system. Older homes off County Road 200 and 201 are especially prone to this.

FAQs About HVAC Cleaning in Liberty Hill
We charge one flat price per system, and you see that number in writing before we start. We don’t do per-vent pricing because it invites surprise charges when a technician finds a return duct or air handler that needs extra attention, which is exactly what happens in Liberty Hill’s mix of new construction and older ranch homes. Your quote covers the full system: supply ducts, returns, air handler, blower, and coil. Call (737) 727-2314 and we’ll give you a number over the phone.
Most Liberty Hill homes need a full HVAC cleaning every 3 to 5 years. New construction homes should get one sooner, around the 2 to 3 year mark, because drywall dust stays in the system long after move-in. Homes with pets, heavy pollen exposure, or occupants with allergies may need it more often. If your ducts are clean and your filter is changed regularly, you don’t need to pay for a cleaning just because a calendar says so. We’ll tell you straight if it’s not time yet.
We start with a camera inspection of your ducts and air handler so you can see what’s inside before we touch anything. Then we use Rotobrush agitation tools and Nikro HEPA vacuums to perform negative pressure source removal, which pulls loosened debris straight into the vacuum instead of back into your home. We clean the supply and return ducts, air handler, blower, and evaporator coil. When we finish, you get before-and-after photos of your own ducts and a written report.
Usually not, and we won’t promise it to win the job. HVAC cleaning done right takes time, and rushing through Liberty Hill’s older homes with brittle flex duct leads to damage and incomplete work. We schedule most jobs within a few days, and we give you a live trackable arrival window through the Relay Standard so you’re not waiting on a four-hour window. Call (737) 727-2314 and we’ll get you the next available slot.
Yes. We clean ductwork, coils, blowers, and air handlers on every major brand found in Liberty Hill homes, including Trane, Carrier, Lennox, Goodman, Rheem, and American Standard.

Our equipment works on any residential system regardless of brand or age.
