Fast, Reliable Air Duct Cleaning Across Cedar Park
Air duct cleaning in Cedar Park typically runs $390 – $690 for a standard single-family home, and most jobs take four to six hours with professional-grade equipment. That’s the honest range, not a teaser price that inflates once a technician walks your door. We’re Cardinal Air Duct Austin, part of the Relay Home Co. family founded in 2005, and we serve Cedar Park homeowners who want written pricing, real before-and-after photos, and ductwork that actually moves air the way it should. Call (940) 283-6595 and a live person answers. Every time.
If you live in Cedar Park, you already know your AC works harder than it should for about seven months a year. What you may not realize is that the ductwork carrying all that conditioned air is often the weak link. Homes built here between the 1990s and 2010s are full of long flex-duct runs through hot, unconditioned attics. Those runs sag. They kink. They collect dust for years before anyone looks at them. Our Air Duct Cleaning team knows exactly what Cedar Park duct systems look like inside, because we clean them week after week.
This page is the full picture for Cedar Park: what we find in your neighborhood’s ductwork, what it costs to clean it properly, and where the cheap cleanings fall short. If you want a quick answer on cost and timing, you have it in the first sentence. If you want to know what we actually see inside a 2004 Ranch at Cypress Creek main trunk, keep reading.
Why Cardinal Air Duct Austin Is Cedar Park’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
We’re not the cheapest duct cleaning service in Cedar Park, and we don’t try to be. We’re the company Cedar Park homeowners call after a bargain cleaning leaves the same dust on their registers two weeks later. Cheap cleanings typically run a shop-vac into a few vents and call it done. We run Rotobrush agitation tools with Nikro HEPA vacuums and negative-pressure extraction, meaning loosened debris goes straight into the containment unit, not back into your living room.
Omar Haddad leads our Cedar Park operations, and he’s built the team around one standard: the Relay Visibility Guarantee. You get a live trackable arrival window, a written price before any work starts, before-and-after photos of your own ducts, and a digital invoice you can pay from your phone. No four-hour arrival windows. No price changes at the door. No guessing whether anyone actually cleaned anything.
Our Cedar Park customers routinely tell us the before-and-after photos are the difference maker. You don’t have to trust that the ducts are clean. You see the main trunk on camera before we start, and you see the same trunk after. The 365-Day Done Right Promise backs every single job: if the work isn’t right within a full year, we come back and correct it at no charge. That’s not a marketing line. It’s the longest-standing satisfaction window in the trade.
Cedar Park’s HVAC systems sit in attics that hit 130 degrees in August. Dust bakes, dries, and gets pulled through the system constantly. Our technicians live in this reality. They know which subdivisions tend to have crushed returns and which ones show heavy construction dust. When a Cedar Park homeowner calls, we don’t send someone who’s learning the area. We send someone who already knows it.
Styles & brands we work with




Air Duct Inspection in Cedar Park
Air Duct Inspection in Cedar Park is a camera walkthrough of your entire duct system, from the return plenum to the last supply register, and it’s how we find the problems a visual check never will. What we do is push a camera through your ducts to document crushed runs, disconnected joints, debris buildup, and any visible mold or pest activity, then we show you the footage on the spot. For Cedar Park homes from the 1990s and 2000s, this usually reveals at least one issue that’s been hiding in the attic for years. A standalone inspection with video documentation runs $95 – $195, and that amount is credited toward cleaning if you book within 30 days.
Camera-Verified Findings, Not Guesswork
We’ve seen Cedar Park ducts where a flex run is kinked so badly over a truss that half the airflow never reaches the room. Without a camera, that restriction stays invisible until a cleaning crew gets up close. Our inspections document every bend, every sag, and every disconnected joint with time-stamped footage.
For homeowners who just moved into a Cedar Park resale, an inspection answers the question no seller ever discloses: what’s actually in these ducts? In Ranch at Cypress Creek specifically, homes built within a few years of each other tend to show the same dust loads and even the same construction debris in main trunks. A local tech can almost predict what they’ll find based on the subdivision alone.
When Cedar Park Weather Makes Inspection Urgent
Cedar Park’s thunderstorm season drives fine silt and dust into homes through soffit vents, fresh-air intakes, and every door that opens. After a particularly dusty stretch or any roofing or renovation work, an inspection gives you a baseline. You’ll know whether the ducts need cleaning now or whether they’re actually in decent shape. Either way, you’re not guessing.
Residential Air Duct Cleaning in Cedar Park
Residential Air Duct Cleaning in Cedar Park is full source removal, meaning we clean the entire duct system under negative pressure so the loosened debris goes into the vacuum, not back into your house. Most single-family homes in Cedar Park take four to six hours, and a standard cleaning runs $390 – $690. One flat price per system, agreed in writing before a single duct is touched. If your home has two systems, you’ll get a combined price up front.
What Full Source Removal Actually Involves
First we seal off each register and connect a Nikro HEPA vacuum to the main trunk, creating negative pressure throughout the system. Then our Rotobrush agitation tools scrub the inside of every supply and return duct, loosening years of drywall dust, pet dander, and construction debris. The vacuum pulls everything out continuously. No short-cuts, no “blow-and-go” with a portable fan.
After the cleaning, we walk the attic to check for sagging or crushed flex runs. In Cedar Park homes built in the 2000s, that attic inspection often finds the real problem: original flex ducts that have never been re-supported since installation. We correct what we can during the same visit and quote any sealing or replacement work separately before doing it.
Cedar Park’s Construction-Dust Legacy, Handled
When thousands of homes went up in Cedar Park during the 2000s boom, drywall dust settled into duct systems behind the crews. Many of those systems have never been opened since. The dust compacts, absorbs humidity, and holds onto whatever else blows through. Our HEPA filtration catches it all, and the before-and-after photos show you the difference in the same trunk.
Trusted Brands We Service in Cedar Park
We clean and service ducts connected to Trane, Carrier, Lennox, Goodman, Rheem, and American Standard systems throughout Cedar Park, and we stock common filters and fittings so we can address minor issues during the same visit. Our equipment fleet includes Rotobrush brush systems, Nikro HEPA vacuums, and Abatement Technologies containment units. We also carry Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Guardsman filtration products for Cedar Park homeowners who want better air quality after the cleaning is done. No need to wait on a parts order for the basics.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Cedar Park Homes
- Crushed or sagged flex ducts in hot attics. Cedar Park attics regularly exceed 130 degrees in summer, and that heat softens and warps flexible duct runs over time. A sagging run can lose 30% or more of its airflow before anyone notices a warm room upstairs.
- Construction debris from the 2000s building boom. In subdivisions like Ranch at Cypress Creek, we regularly find identical drywall dust loads and debris patterns in main trunks because builders used the same subcontractors across the development. Standard agitation tools can get overwhelmed without HEPA filtration.
- Single-return systems on two-story homes. Many Cedar Park two-story homes have one return for the entire house, which pulls dust from every room into the same path. Cleaning without checking return sizing leaves blower motors overworked and rooms unevenly cooled.
- Disconnected or partially separated duct joints. The temperature swings between Cedar Park’s hot summers and cooler winter nights cause metal and flex connections to work loose. A separated joint in an unconditioned attic pulls in 130-degree air and dust, and your AC fights it all season.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Cedar Park
Cedar Park’s housing boom in the 2000s was built fast, and entire subdivisions often used the same framing, drywall, and HVAC subcontractors. Drywall dust and construction debris settled into duct systems behind those crews, and because the homes are nearly identical in design, the debris patterns are too. We see it regularly in Ranch at Cypress Creek and similar neighborhoods. Call (940) 283-6595 and we’ll tell you what your specific subdivision tends to show.
NADCA source removal means cleaning the entire duct system under negative pressure so debris is extracted to a HEPA vacuum, not pushed into rooms. For a Cedar Park attic installation, that matters twice: attics run hot and dirty, and a partial cleaning just loosens that junk into the airstream. We follow source removal on every job, with Nikro HEPA vacuums and Abatement Technologies containment units.
You usually can’t tell from the living room, because a crushed flex run in the attic still pushes some air. The signs are weak airflow in one or two rooms, higher humidity upstairs, and an AC that runs longer than it used to. Our camera inspection finds the restriction in minutes and shows you the footage. Call (940) 283-6595 to schedule one.
Yes, and in Cedar Park it’s more common than most homeowners think. Long flex runs through unconditioned attics sag, kink, and leak, so your AC runs longer to hit a setpoint the ducts can’t quite deliver. We’ve found crushed 12-inch ducts cutting airflow to entire upstairs bedrooms. Cleaning alone won’t fix a crushed run, which is why our inspection catches it before the cleaning starts.
Supply ducts carry conditioned air into your rooms; return ducts pull unconditioned air back to the system. In Cedar Park, return ducts often collect more debris because they pull from the living space, where dust and pet dander circulate constantly. Supply ducts in attics collect more construction dust and insulation particles. We clean both, because cleaning only one side leaves the other side pushing junk back into the house. For an exact quote on your system, call (940) 283-6595.
