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 Manor
HVAC cleaning in Manor typically costs $450 – $850 for a complete system clean, including evaporator coil cleaning, blower cleaning, and full ductwork source-removal. Most Manor homes take 4 – 7 hours depending on system size and how much dust the Blackland Prairie climate has pulled through the returns. We’re the HVAC Cleaning team at Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning, and we know Manor’s housing stock, its clay soil, and the way both of those things punish an air handler that hasn’t been touched in five years.
Every job starts with a camera inspection, ends with before-and-after photos of your own ducts, and the price you’re quoted before we start is the price on the invoice. Call (737) 727-2314 for a written quote.
Why Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning Is Manor’s Preferred HVAC Cleaning Company
Manor homeowners deal with a specific set of problems: shifting foundation soils that pull duct joints apart, long attic runs that collect fine Blackland Prairie dust, and AC units that run hard from May through October. Most national duct cleaning franchises send a tech with a shop vac and a coupon. We show up differently.
Omar Haddad leads our Manor crews, and every technician who walks through your front door is background-checked, uniformed, and running professional-grade equipment. We use Rotobrush rotary brush systems for source removal and Nikro HEPA vacuums for negative-pressure extraction, which means the loosened debris goes straight into the vacuum, not back into your living room. Our Manor customers consistently tell us the before-and-after photos are what sold them: you see exactly what was living in your ducts and exactly what we removed.
We serve Manor directly from our Austin dispatch office, and a live person answers the phone 24/7. No voicemail loops, no “we’ll call you back Tuesday.” You call, you talk to a human, you get a booking window you can track on your phone.
Evaporator Coil Cleaning in Manor
Evaporator coil cleaning in Manor runs $200 – $400 as a standalone service, and it’s folded into our full-system price when you book a complete HVAC cleaning. The evaporator coil sits inside your air handler, and it’s where your AC does its cooling work. When it’s caked with dust and grime, your system runs longer, pulls more amps, and still can’t hit the thermostat setting. Manor’s summer humidity compounds it: a dirty coil freezes over faster, and the condensation it produces breeds the musty smell a lot of homeowners notice when the AC first kicks on.
We pull the coil, apply a professional-grade coil cleaner, and rinse it so the fins actually transfer heat again. If the buildup is severe, we’ll show you the before photo. You won’t believe your system was moving air through that.
The Manor Coil Problem
Homes in Manor deal with two things that hammer evaporator coils: construction dust from continuous growth along 290 and FM 973, and return ducts that leak because the clay soil has shifted the runs. A leaking return pulls attic air and insulation fibers straight into the coil. We camera-inspect the return path before we clean, so we’re not just scrubbing a coil that will foul again in six months.
Coil Treatment That Lasts
After cleaning, we apply a coil treatment that resists microbial growth and slows future buildup. On a system in Manor’s climate, where the AC runs 2,000+ hours a year, that treatment is the difference between a coil that stays clean for three years and one that needs attention every spring.
AC Duct Cleaning in Manor
AC duct cleaning in Manor costs $350 – $650 for a typical single-family home with 8 – 14 supply registers and one return. The price is per system, not per vent, so there’s no multiplication game at the end of the job. Our techs run a Rotobrush rotary agitation pass through every supply and return run, then pull negative pressure with Nikro HEPA filtration. The dust comes out of your ducts and leaves the building. It does not resettle in your bedrooms.
Manor’s expansive clay soil means duct joints loosen over the years, especially in homes along Presidential Boulevard and in the Shadowglen and Presidential Meadows subdivisions. When a joint opens up, your air handler is conditioning the attic. Our camera inspection catches that before we quote, so our estimate reflects the actual job, not a guess.
How We Know the Job Is Done Right
You get before-and-after photographs of your own ducts, taken from inside the runs. You don’t have to take our word for it, and you don’t have to wonder whether the tech just made some noise in your attic for two hours. The photos are the receipt.
Why We Quote One Flat Price Per System
Manor homes vary wildly in duct layout. A 1,200-square-foot house off 973 might have short, simple runs. A two-story in Wildhorse Ranch might have three trunk lines and a dozen drop-offs. Per-vent pricing either overcharges small homes or underbids the labor on long attic runs. One flat price per system, agreed before we start, means the quote matches the actual work. It doesn’t change at the door.
Trusted Brands We Service in Manor
Our techs work on every major residential system you’re likely to find in a Manor attic or closet: Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Rheem, Goodman, Daikin, and American Standard. Since we’re based nearby, we keep most common filter sizes and replacement parts stocked for Manor service calls, so we’re not waiting on a parts run for a basic repair. For filtration and air quality upgrades, we install Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Guardsman products, and our containment setup uses Abatement Technologies units to keep the work area clean. Whatever brand is in your home, it won’t slow us down.
Common HVAC Cleaning Problems We See in Manor Homes
- Duct joints separating at the collar. Clay soil expansion and contraction moves return chases and air handler platforms, and the flex-to-metal connections pull apart. We camera-inspect every system before quoting because a separated trunk line means you’re paying to condition attic air.
- Dust caked on evaporator coils. The Blackland Prairie produces fine, silty dust. Combined with a leaking return, it bakes onto the coil fins and cuts your airflow. We clean coil fins with professional-grade coil cleaner, not a brush that just pushes dirt deeper into the fin stack.
- Disconnected or crushed flex runs. Attic storage, old cable installs, and wildlife leave crushed or kinked flex ducts throughout Manor homes. We flag what we find and tell you straight if a run needs repair or replacement before we clean.
- The musty smell on startup. That smell is microbial growth on the coil and in the condensate pan. Cleaning the coil and treating the pan fixes the source. Spraying a deodorizer into the registers hides it for about a week.

FAQs About HVAC Cleaning in Manor
It depends on what’s actually in your ducts, and the only honest way to know is to look. If your home is newer, you change filters regularly, and you’ve had no construction work, you probably don’t need a full clean. If you’ve lived in the home for years, you’ve had drywall work, you have pets, or your returns have been pulling attic air, the ducts are loading up and a clean genuinely helps. We camera-inspect before we quote, and if the ducts are clean, we’ll tell you and save you the money. Call (737) 727-2314 for an honest assessment.
Because per-vent pricing invites the exact bait-and-switch this industry is known for. A tech quotes you $39, counts your vents, and suddenly a $400 job is $1,100. Or the quote covers the vents but not the trunk line, the air handler, the blower. We quote one price for your entire system: all supply runs, all return runs, the air handler, the blower, the evaporator coil, the drain. You agree to that number before we touch a single duct. That number is on the invoice. Call (737) 727-2314 for a written quote, and you’ll see exactly what’s included.
We start with a camera inspection of the return and supply runs to find any separated joints, crushed flex, or buildup. Then we run a Rotobrush rotary agitation pass through every duct run under negative pressure with a Nikro HEPA vacuum pulling the dislodged debris straight outside. We clean the evaporator coil with professional coil cleaner and a rinse that won’t warp the fins. We open the blower assembly, clean the squirrel cage, and service the condensate drain. You get before-and-after photos of the whole job. Call (737) 727-2314 to book, and you’ll know exactly what we found and exactly what we did.
Every 4 – 6 years is realistic for most Manor homes, but that stretches shorter if you live near construction off 290, if you have pets, if anyone in the home has allergies or asthma, or if you’ve noticed the supply registers collecting a gray film. What matters more than a calendar is the condition of your system. If we camera-inspect your ducts and they’re clean, we’ll tell you they don’t need the work. If the photos show genuine buildup, the cleaning is worth the cost. Call (737) 727-2314 and we’ll schedule the camera inspection first.
Yes, if the source is mold or mildew on the evaporator coil and condensate pan, a proper cleaning removes it. If the smell is coming from standing water in the drain pan or a clogged drain line, that needs a drain service at the same time. We can’t promise the smell disappears from a cleaning alone, but we can tell you what’s causing it once we open the air handler. We’ll show you the coil, and you’ll see for yourself what’s been growing. Call (737) 727-2314 to schedule an inspection, and we’ll give you a straight answer on what you’re dealing with.
