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 Miami Lakes
If your HVAC system is circulating dust, musty air, or worse through your Miami Lakes home, the fix is a full-system cleaning that actually gets done right. Most HVAC cleanings in Miami Lakes run $450 – $850 for a complete system depending on home size, number of registers, and whether the air handler and blower are included. Call (737) 727-2314 for a written quote before any work begins.
We know Miami Lakes homes because we work in them every week. The ranch homes off NW 67th Avenue, the two-story builds in Royal Oaks, the townhomes near Main Street, the newer developments east of I-75. Each one ages differently, and each one collects dust differently. You need a crew that understands what grows inside a duct system that runs air conditioning ten months of the year, not a crew that treats Miami Lakes like every other South Florida ZIP code.
Why Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning Is Miami Lakes’s Preferred HVAC Cleaning Company
Homeowners in Miami Lakes keep calling us back because we do the job the way it should have been done the first time. Our HVAC Cleaning team runs professional-grade equipment, not a truck-mounted shop vac. We use Rotobrush rotary brush systems to loosen debris from duct walls and Nikro HEPA-filtered negative pressure units to pull it out without sending it back into your living room. Abatement Technologies containment keeps the work area clean while we’re inside.
Omar Haddad leads the team, and he holds every technician to one standard: the written price you agree to before we start is the price you pay when the job is done. No per-vent billing games, no surprise add-ons at the door. Every job includes before-and-after photos of your own ducts, a live trackable arrival window through the Relay Standard, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise. If the work isn’t right within a full year, we come back and fix it at no charge.
Furnace Cleaning in Miami Lakes
Furnace Cleaning in Miami Lakes homes matters more than most people realize because even though winters are short, the furnace shares an air handler and blower with your air conditioner. When the blower wheel is caked with dust and the heat exchanger has accumulated debris from summer AC season, efficiency drops and the air you breathe takes the hit. We clean the entire furnace path: heat exchanger surfaces, blower wheel and housing, combustion area where accessible, and the connecting plenum.
What Gets Cleaned
We remove accumulated dust and debris from the blower assembly, clean the heat exchanger surfaces with appropriate brushes and agitation tools, and clear the plenum connections. On gas furnaces, we also check and clear the area around the burners so combustion stays clean. The job ends with negative-pressure extraction so loosened debris goes straight into the vacuum.
When Miami Lakes Homeowners Call Us
The call usually starts with a burning-dust smell when the heat kicks on for the first cold snap, or visible dust blowing from registers. Sometimes a homeowner notices the furnace cycling more often than it used to. A furnace cleaning for a typical Miami Lakes home runs $159 – $279 depending on system size and accessibility. Call (737) 727-2314 for an exact quote.
AC Vent Cleaning in Miami Lakes
AC Vent Cleaning in Miami Lakes means cleaning the full supply and return path, not just wiping register covers. The vent covers catch what’s visible, but the real buildup lives inside the duct runs, at the register boots, and in the return plenum where dust, pet hair, and humidity combine into a sticky layer. We clean the interior vent surfaces, remove register covers and wash them, and clear the boots where they meet the duct line.
The Process We Use
Our techs run a rotating brush through each supply and return run to loosen caked-on debris. Simultaneously, a HEPA-filtered negative pressure unit pulls the loosened material into containment, so none of it re-enters the home. Register covers come off, get cleaned, and go back on. We photograph every section before and after so you see exactly what was removed.
What It Costs Here
AC vent cleaning for a standard Miami Lakes single-family home runs $299 – $459 for a full system, including supply and return vents, plenums, and register cleaning. Larger homes in Royal Oaks or Miami Lakes West with 20-plus registers land on the higher end of that range. The price is one flat rate for the whole system, agreed in writing before we touch anything.
Trusted Brands We Service in Miami Lakes
We service and clean systems from every major brand installed in Miami Lakes homes: Carrier, Trane, Rheem, Lennox, Goodman, York, and American Standard. Our trucks carry a range of common filters and coil treatments, including Aprilaire and Guardsman products, so we can often replace a worn filter or apply a coil treatment during the same visit. That saves Miami Lakes homeowners a second service call and keeps the system running cleaner for longer.
Common HVAC Cleaning Problems We See in Miami Lakes Homes
- Matted coils and blower wheels from year-round AC use. Most of the country runs air conditioning four or five months a year. Miami Lakes homes run it ten or eleven. The coil and blower never get a dry season to shed moisture, so dust sticks and builds into a paste.
- Crushed flex duct in older ranch homes. Homes built in the 1960s and 1970s along NW 67th Avenue and near Miami Lakes Optimist Park often have flex duct in low attic spaces. Heat and time collapse the duct, reducing airflow and concentrating debris at the kinks.
- Biological growth on duct interiors. Darkness plus humidity plus organic dust equals growth. Miami Lakes’ subtropical climate keeps duct interiors damp year-round, and we regularly find visible growth during camera inspections of systems that haven’t been cleaned in years.
- Dryer lint migrating into the HVAC return. In utility rooms where the dryer vents near a return grille, lint gets pulled into the HVAC system and coats the evaporator coil. We see this frequently in Miami Lakes townhomes with compact laundry areas.

FAQs About HVAC Cleaning in Miami Lakes
How often does a Miami Lakes home actually need HVAC cleaning?
For most Miami Lakes homes running AC ten-plus months a year, a full HVAC cleaning every 2 – 4 years is genuinely warranted. Homes with pets, recent renovations, or smokers in the household skew closer to every 2 years. If your system is only two years old, was just installed, and you change filters regularly, you probably don’t need a cleaning yet. Call (737) 727-2314 and Omar Haddad will help you decide honestly.
Do you charge per vent or one flat price for the whole system?
One flat price for the whole system, always. Per-vent billing is how a $300 quote becomes a $900 invoice once the technician is inside. We quote a single written price covering every supply and return vent, the plenums, the air handler, and the blower before any work starts. That price does not change at the door.
Will you show me before-and-after photos of my own ducts?
Yes. Every job includes before-and-after photos of your actual ductwork, coil, and blower, delivered with your digital invoice. If we cut an inspection port to access the system, we fabricate and install a proper access cover so the port remains sealed. You’ll see exactly what was removed and what the surfaces look like afterward.
What equipment do you use for HVAC cleaning in Miami Lakes?
We run Rotobrush rotary brush systems to agitate and loosen debris from duct walls, Nikro HEPA-filtered negative pressure units to extract debris into containment, and Abatement Technologies containment equipment to protect your home during the work. This is professional source removal, not a shop vac with a long hose. Negative pressure means the loosened dirt goes into the vacuum, not back into your kitchen.
Can you also clean the furnace and dryer vent while you’re here?
Yes. We specialize in three services: HVAC cleaning, furnace cleaning, and dryer vent cleaning. If you’d like the dryer vent done on the same visit, let us know when you call and we’ll include it in the written quote upfront. Same crew, same visit, one flat price for everything agreed before we start. Call (737) 727-2314.
