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.

AfterAir Duct Cleaning Company in San Antonio, FL
Air duct cleaning in San Antonio typically runs between $285 and $485 for a standard single-family home, with larger two-story properties reaching $650 or more. What changes the number here is the age of the housing stock and the way Florida humidity interacts with older ductwork. Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning serves the full San Antonio area with upfront written pricing and no change orders at the door. Call (737) 727-2314 for a quote specific to your home.
This page is the San Antonio overview. We keep the details on our three core jobs – Air Duct Cleaning in San Antonio, HVAC Cleaning in San Antonio, and Dryer Vent Cleaning in San Antonio – on their own pages so you can jump straight to what you need.
Why San Antonio Homes Are Different
San Antonio sits in the fast-growing stretch of Pasco County between Dade City and Wesley Chapel, and the housing mix tells the story. You’ll find ranch homes from the 1970s and 1980s alongside new-construction subdivisions that went up in the last five years. That split matters for ductwork: older homes often have metal ducts with failing tape seals at the joints, while newer builds tend to have flex ducts that sag if installers left too much slack. Both leak. In Florida, a duct system that pulls attic air means you’re paying to cool air you never feel.
The humidity is the other half of the story. San Antonio gets the same wet, warm summers as the rest of the Tampa Bay region, and condensation inside ducts is common, especially in homes where the air handler sits in an unconditioned garage or attic. That moisture collects on dust and turns it into a paste that clings to duct walls. Standard vacuum-only cleaning doesn’t remove it. We use negative-pressure extraction, meaning the loosened debris goes straight into the vacuum, not back into your living room.
If you live near Curley Road or anywhere off State Road 52, you already know the construction dust from new development gets into everything, including return vents. Homes within a mile or two of active build sites almost always show heavier debris loading. None of this is unusual to us. It’s simply what San Antonio ductwork looks like, and it’s why our crews carry Abatement Technologies containment units so cleaning your ducts doesn’t mean dusting your whole house afterward.
Our Main San Antonio Services
Most San Antonio homeowners reach out to us for one of two reasons: dryer performance or general air quality. Both start with the same phone call and the same promise: a written price before any work starts.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in San Antonio
The dryers we service in San Antonio are typically on the first floor or in a garage, but we see plenty of upstairs laundry rooms in the newer developments. What matters most is the length of the vent run. A dryer on an interior wall pushing air twenty feet to an exterior exit is a different job than one that vents straight through the wall behind the unit. Longer runs collect more lint, and in Florida’s humidity that lint absorbs moisture and clumps, restricting airflow faster than in drier climates. We run rotating brushes through the full run and verify final airflow at the exterior hood. Full details on pricing and process are on the Dryer Vent Cleaning in San Antonio page.
Air Duct Cleaning in San Antonio
Duct cleaning in San Antonio almost always includes the return side, because the return is where the system pulls unfiltered air from your living space. If you have pets, if you run ceiling fans year round, or if your home is near new construction, the return plenum is likely carrying more than you’d expect. We use Nikro HEPA-rated vacuum extraction with Rotobrush agitation, which is the combination that gets debris off the duct walls rather than just moving it toward the vent. The full San Antonio breakdown, including add-on options like sanitizing and register cleaning, is on the Air Duct Cleaning in San Antonio page.
HVAC Cleaning in San Antonio
HVAC cleaning is the deeper job. It includes the ductwork, but also the evaporator coil, blower motor housing, drain pan, and the area around the air handler. In San Antonio, where air conditioners run hard for eight or nine months of the year, we see coated coils and dirty blower wheels regularly. A dirty blower wheel reduces airflow across the coil, which reduces efficiency and shortens equipment life. We clean the entire system and verify airflow before we leave. Full scope and pricing are on the HVAC Cleaning in San Antonio page.

Attic work takes longer in the summer heat, but our quote accounts for that before the day starts. You’ll see the full price in writing, and it does not change when the technician arrives.
