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 Solon, OH
Air duct cleaning in Solon runs $1,100 to $1,700 for a typical single-system home, and most jobs are completed in a single day. Solon’s housing stock – a mix of 1970s colonials, 1980s and 1990s family homes, and newer builds near the Thornbury development – means duct layouts vary widely, and so does the condition of the ductwork. We’re Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning, part of the Relay Home Co. family, and we bring commercial-grade equipment to every Solon job. Call (737) 727-2314 for a written quote before any work begins.
Why Solon Homes Are Different
Solon sits on the eastern edge of Cuyahoga County, where winters are wet and cold and summers get humid enough to matter. That swing does two things to ductwork. First, the temperature differential between conditioned air and the attic or basement where ducts run creates condensation, which is why we see more rust and corrosion inside Solon ducts than in drier parts of Ohio. Second, homes here cycle their furnaces from October through April and their air conditioning from June into September. That’s a long duty cycle, and it means the dust, pet dander, and household debris pulled through the return side builds up faster than in milder climates.
Beyond climate, the housing stock matters. Solon is not a tract-built suburb – neighborhoods like Som Center Road area, the streets off Bainbridge Road, and the cul-de-sacs south of Route 43 hold homes from multiple decades, many of them expanded over the years. Additions mean spliced duct runs, and spliced runs mean more seams where debris collects. Flexible duct in attics here gets brittle after twenty Ohio winters, and we replace more damaged flex in Solon than in most surrounding suburbs. None of it is unique to one house – it’s what the local building pattern produces.
Our Main Solon Services
Solon homeowners most often call us for dryer vent work and full air duct cleaning, but we also handle the complete HVAC side. Each service has its own page with local Solon pricing, and all of it is backed by the 365-Day Done Right Promise: if the work isn’t right within a year, we return and correct it at no charge.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Solon
Solon homes built in the 1990s and 2000s often route dryer vents through exterior walls on the second floor or along basement joists to a side-wall outlet. That creates longer runs with more bends, and lint packs into those elbows fast. We use a Rotobrush rotary system to break through caked lint, then negative-pressure extraction pulls the loosened debris into a Nikro HEPA vacuum instead of blowing it back into the laundry room. A restricted vent also forces the dryer to work harder, which is why slow drying times are the most common Solon complaint we hear. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Solon covers what the job involves here, including how we handle roof-terminated vents on two-story homes.
Air Duct Cleaning in Solon
Full duct cleaning in Solon means both the supply and return sides are cleaned under negative pressure, not just vacuumed at the registers. We run a rotary brush through every reachable run, and an Abatement Technologies containment unit ensures what loosens goes out of the house, not into the living room. Homes with pets, recent renovations, or residents with allergies usually need this done every three to five years. Air Duct Cleaning in Solon has real price ranges for typical Solon floor plans and explains exactly what is included.
HVAC Cleaning in Solon
HVAC cleaning goes beyond the ducts: it includes the blower motor, the evaporator coil, the drain pan, and the supply plenum. In Solon, we often find blower wheels caked with residue after years of continuous seasonal use, which cuts airflow and strains the system. Cleaning the coil alone can measurably improve cooling. HVAC Cleaning in Solon details the full scope of the job and what Solon homeowners can expect to pay based on system size and access.

Brands We Service in Solon
We service and clean systems built around Honeywell and Aprilaire filtration components, and we use Nikro HEPA extraction on every job. Most common replacement parts for these brands are stocked in our local vans, so a needed filter upgrade or a damaged access panel does not mean a second appointment. See our brands for the full list of equipment we work on.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning Company in Solon, OH
| Service | Typical range in Solon |
|---|---|
| Air duct cleaning – small single-system home (under 1,800 sq ft) | $1,100 – $1,400 |
| Air duct cleaning – mid-size home (1,800 – 2,800 sq ft) | $1,250 – $1,550 |
| Air duct cleaning – larger home (2,800+ sq ft) | $1,500 – $1,700 |
| Air duct cleaning – two systems (zoned / dual furnace) | $1,900 – $2,300 |
| Dryer vent cleaning | $290 – $390 |
| HVAC blower motor cleaning | $200 – $350 |
| Evaporator coil cleaning | $200 – $350 |
| Supply plenum cleaning | $150 – $250 |
| Damaged flex duct replacement (per run, parts and labor) | $150 – $300 |
The biggest price driver in Solon is access: older homes with ductwork in tight attics and narrow basements take longer, as do zoned systems with two furnaces. Home additions that spliced into the original duct system also add time because the runs are harder to reach. Whatever the scope, the price we quote in writing before work starts is the price you pay – no per-vent add-ons, no door-knock revisions.
