Trusted Air Duct Cleaning for Las Vegas Homeowners
Most Las Vegas homes need air duct cleaning every 3 to 5 years, but plenty go a decade or more without it. That matters here more than almost anywhere in the country because our desert climate pulls dust, sand, and construction debris into return ducts every time the AC kicks on. Cardinal Air Duct Las Vegas, part of the Relay Home Co. family founded in 2005, has cleaned thousands of systems across the valley using Rotobrush rotary brush systems and Nikro HEPA-rated vacuums. Omar Haddad leads our Las Vegas operation with one rule: you get a written price before any work starts and before-and-after photo proof when we’re done. If your vents haven’t been opened in years, call (725) 600-6597 and we’ll tell you exactly what it costs before you commit.
Key Takeaways
- Typical cost: Most full-system air duct cleanings in Las Vegas run $450 to $900 for a standard single-family home, depending on square footage and the number of returns.
- Time required: A complete cleaning takes 3 to 6 hours for most homes, not the 45-minute shop-vac job some companies advertise.
- Written price first: You get a written quote before a single duct is touched, and that number does not change at the door.
- 365-Day Done Right Promise: If the work isn’t right within a year, we come back and correct it at no charge.
- Real equipment: Rotobrush rotary agitation plus Nikro HEPA extraction, not a truck-mounted vacuum hose stuck in a vent.

Air Duct Cleaning Services
Air duct cleaning services remove the accumulated dust, debris, and contaminants from your home’s entire duct network using professional rotary brush agitation and negative-pressure extraction. The first sentence runs to the heart of it: negative-pressure extraction means the loosened debris goes straight into a HEPA-filtered vacuum outside your home, never back into your living room air. Most Las Vegas homeowners schedule this every 3 to 5 years, sooner if they have pets, recent renovations, or allergy sufferers in the house. A full-system cleaning from Cardinal Air Duct Las Vegas typically runs $450 to $900 for a standard single-family home in the valley, and you’ll see the price in writing before we start.
Whole-Home Duct System Cleaning
We clean every supply and return duct, both plenums, and the blower compartment. The Rotobrush system scrubs the interior walls while a Nikro HEPA vacuum pulls loosened debris out under negative pressure. No debris gets redistributed into your rooms during the process.
Post-Construction Dust Removal
Las Vegas sees constant new builds and remodels, and drywall dust settles deep into brand-new duct runs. We remove that fine powder before it circulates through your home for the next several years, and we’ll show you the before-and-after photos to prove it’s gone.

HVAC Duct Cleaning
HVAC duct cleaning targets the complete heating and cooling duct network, not just the visible vent openings. In Las Vegas, your HVAC system runs hard from May through September, pulling desert dust and fine sand through the filter and into the duct walls, where it builds up layer after layer until airflow drops and your AC works harder than it should. Omar Haddad and the Cardinal Air Duct Las Vegas team clean the full run of HVAC ducting, from the return register to the supply plenum, using Abatement Technologies containment units on larger systems to keep the work area clean. Expect to pay $450 to $900 for most single-family homes in Las Vegas, with the exact figure written down before we begin.
Supply and Return Line Treatment
Supply ducts push conditioned air into rooms; return ducts pull it back to the unit. Both need cleaning because returns collect the bulk of airborne dust while supplies can harbor mold spores and construction debris. We clean both sides with equal attention.
Blower Compartment and Coil Area
The blower area sits upstream of your ducts, but a dirty blower re-contaminates clean ductwork in weeks. We vacuum the blower compartment and inspect the evaporator coil area so the air moving into your freshly cleaned ducts starts clean.
Vent Cleaning
Vent cleaning addresses the visible register covers and the first several feet of duct behind them, the portion homeowners actually see every day. It’s the cosmetic layer of duct maintenance and often what people mean when they say their vents look dusty. Cardinal Air Duct Las Vegas includes vent cover removal, degreasing, and sanitizing as part of every full-system cleaning, not as an add-on line item. If you’re seeing dust streaks on your ceilings above the vents or visible gray buildup on the louvers, a standard vent and duct package runs $450 to $900 for most Las Vegas homes.
Register Cover Cleaning and Sanitizing
We remove every register cover, degrease it, sanitize it, and replace it. The covers trap oils from cooking and pet dander, and a quick wipe from inside the room doesn’t touch the buildup on the back side.
Ceiling Streak and Dust Pattern Removal
Dark streaks above your vents aren’t a ceiling defect; they’re airborne particles blowing out and clinging to the drywall. Cleaning the vent throat and the first few feet of duct stops the source of those marks. We can’t undo permanent staining, but we stop new streaks from forming.
Air Duct Repair
Air duct repair fixes broken, disconnected, or crushed duct sections that leak conditioned air into your attic or wall cavities instead of your rooms. In Las Vegas, where summer attic temperatures routinely exceed 140 degrees Fahrenheit, a disconnected duct means you’re literally paying to cool your attic. Cardinal Air Duct Las Vegas finds these failures during a visual inspection and repairs them with proper mastic sealing and metal tape, never the gray cloth tape that dries out and fails in desert heat. Most repairs run $150 to $600 per affected section, and every repair carries a written guarantee plus a free second visit if the repair fails.
Disconnected Joint and Collar Repair
Flex duct pops off its collar from pressure changes and heat cycling, and that gap dumps conditioned air into the attic. We reattach and seal the connection properly, then photo-document the repair before and after.
Crushed or Torn Flex Duct Replacement
Rodents, careless attic storage, and original-build shortcuts all leave flex duct crushed or torn. A crushed section restricts airflow far more than a dirty one, so we replace damaged runs with properly sized, insulated flex duct that meets current code.
Ductwork Cleaning
Ductwork cleaning is the structural-level cleaning of the entire air distribution system, including the main trunk lines and branch runs that never get addressed by a vent-only cleaning. Think of it as the difference between wiping your kitchen counters and emptying the cabinets. In Las Vegas, our ductwork picks up a fine silt that behaves like sandpaper on flex duct interiors, and that abrasive action actually shortens the life of the material. Cardinal Air Duct Las Vegas uses Rotobrush rotary brush systems configured for flex duct, running the brush through every accessible run while a Nikro HEPA vacuum maintains constant negative pressure. Most Las Vegas homes run $450 to $900 for complete ductwork cleaning, written down before any work begins.
Main Trunk Line Scrubbing
The trunk line is the big rectangular or round duct running off your air handler, and it collects the heaviest debris load. Our rotary brush is sized to the trunk dimensions and scrubs all four interior walls, loosening years of caked dust for the vacuum to extract.
Branch Run and Flex Duct Cleaning
Branch runs feed individual rooms, and in most Las Vegas homes they’re flex duct with a spiral interior that holds dust well. We run a smaller brush through each branch at controlled speed so the flex interior gets cleaned without tearing.
Air Duct Inspection
Air duct inspection is a systematic evaluation of your entire duct system using cameras, airflow measurements, and visual access points to document what’s actually inside your ducts. You need one if you’ve never seen the inside of your ductwork, if you’re buying a home in Las Vegas, or if your energy bills have climbed without explanation. Cardinal Air Duct Las Vegas includes a full duct inspection with video documentation before every cleaning, so the before-and-after photos you receive are backed by what we actually saw. Standalone inspections run $99 to $199 depending on home size, and that fee is credited toward a cleaning if you book one.
Video Camera Duct Assessment
We run a high-resolution camera through your trunk line and accessible branch runs, recording what’s in there. You see the footage with us, and you get the key frames in your digital invoice so the condition is documented, not described.
Airflow and Leak Testing
Beyond looking, we measure static pressure and check for obvious leaks using smoke pencils at accessible joints. Poor airflow in one room is usually a duct problem, not an AC problem, and the testing tells us which one you have.
Residential Air Duct Cleaning
Residential air duct cleaning focuses on single-family homes, townhomes, and condos across the Las Vegas valley, including Summerlin, Green Valley, and North Las Vegas. Homes here have one thing in common: the AC runs nearly year-round, and the duct system collects everything the desert throws at it. Cardinal Air Duct Las Vegas cleans residential systems with the same Rotobrush and Nikro equipment used on commercial jobs, scaled down for home duct sizing. A typical residential air duct cleaning in Las Vegas runs $450 to $900 for most homes up to 2,500 square feet, and you’ll see that number in writing before we start.
Single-Story and Two-Story Home Systems
Single-story homes generally have shorter, more accessible duct runs, which keeps cleaning time and cost at the lower end. Two-story homes in places like Aliante and Centennial Hills have longer vertical runs and more branch lines, adding time and a bit more cost.
Pet Hair and Allergen Removal
Dogs and cats shed constantly, and their hair plus dander eventually cycles through your return ducts and into every room. Our Residential Duct Cleaning removes the hair you can see and the dander you can’t. We remove the hair you can see and the dander you can’t, which matters if anyone in the house has allergies or asthma.
Commercial Air Duct Cleaning
Commercial air duct cleaning covers offices, retail spaces, restaurants, medical offices, and light industrial facilities throughout the Las Vegas area, including Winchester, Paradise, and the corridor around Nellis AFB. Commercial systems run longer hours than residential ones, and in a city with this much dust, that means faster buildup and more strain on the equipment. Cardinal Air Duct Las Vegas deploys Abatement Technologies containment units on commercial jobs to keep dust out of occupied spaces while we work. Commercial pricing runs on a per-project basis, generally $1,500 to $5,000 depending on square footage, system complexity, and access, with a written proposal before any work starts.
Office and Retail Space Systems
Offices and retail stores need Commercial Duct Cleaning during off-hours, and we schedule around your operating hours so customers and employees aren’t disrupted. The containment units keep the work area clean enough that business continues in adjacent spaces.
Restaurant and Commercial Kitchen Duct Cleaning
Restaurant HVAC systems contend with grease vapor on top of desert dust, and that combination forms a sticky coating inside ducts that standard residential methods won’t remove. We use aggressive brush systems and stronger extraction for these jobs, along with the necessary containment to meet health department expectations.

AfterBrands We Service
We service and clean duct systems connected to all major HVAC brands, and we carry filtration products from Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Guardsman for homes that want upgraded air quality after their cleaning. Our technicians are trained on Honeywell electronic air cleaners and media cabinets, which often need the filter cells pulled and cleaned during a duct job. If your system has an Aprilaire whole-home filter, we can replace the media during the duct cleaning and show you how to monitor its condition going forward. Guardsman products round out the filtration line for homes that need straightforward, dependable media replacement without the electronics.
Whether your system runs Honeywell controls, Aprilaire filtration, a Guardsman media cabinet, or any other major make, we clean the ductwork the same way: thoroughly, with documentation, and with a written price before we start. The brand of your HVAC equipment doesn’t change how we clean ducts, but it does change which filters and accessories we recommend at the end of the job. Ask Omar Haddad about filtration upgrades when you call (725) 600-6597.
Signs You Need a Pro Right Now
- Dust returns within days of cleaning your house. If you dust on Sunday and see a film again by Wednesday, your ducts are circulating the dust back into the rooms. That’s not normal, and it means the duct walls are loaded enough that every AC cycle re-aerosolizes particles.
- Rooms at the end of the run stay warmer. The farthest bedroom from your air handler works harder to reach temperature when ducts are clogged or leaking. Restricted airflow means the conditioned air never arrives in volume, and the room never quite cools.
- You’ve never had the ducts cleaned, and the home is over 10 years old. A decade of Las Vegas dust equals a substantial accumulation inside the trunk line and returns. The longer it sits, the harder it is to remove completely.
- You hear rustling or notice rodent debris near vents. Rodents in the attic frequently nest near warm duct runs, and their droppings and nesting material inside ducts are a health hazard. This requires cleaning plus repair of any entry points with proper sealing.
- Your energy bill has climbed 20% or more year over year without a rate change. Dirty ducts and a dirty blower reduce system efficiency measurably, and a dusty evaporator coil compounds the problem. Cleaning restores airflow and lets the system work as designed.
Our Process, Step by Step
- 1
Walkthrough and written estimate. Omar or one of our lead technicians walks the property with you, counts the returns, identifies access points, and hands you a written price before any work begins. The number doesn’t change at the door, ever.
- 2
Containment and prep. We lay floor protection where we work and seal off the work area from the rest of your home. Our Nikro HEPA vacuum and Abatement Technologies containment units go outside where possible, venting collected debris away from your living spaces.
- 3
Rotobrush agitation of every accessible run. We open access points into the trunk line and each branch, running the rotary brush through to loosen caked-on dust and debris from all interior walls. The brush is sized to the duct dimensions so it scrubs without tearing.
- 4
Negative-pressure extraction and register cleaning. The Nikro HEPA vacuum maintains constant negative pressure throughout the cleaning, pulling loosened debris out of the system as we work. Every register cover comes off, gets degreased and sanitized, and goes back on clean.
- 5
Before-and-after documentation and final walkthrough. We show you the before-and-after photos of your ducts, walk you through what we found and what we did, and send a digital invoice you can pay from your phone. Everything is documented, nothing is hidden.
How Much Does Air Duct Cleaning Cost in Las Vegas?
What affects the price is straightforward. More duct surface means more time, more returns mean more access points, and a system that hasn’t been cleaned in 20 years takes materially longer than one cleaned five years ago. The way to avoid overpaying is to get a written price before anyone starts, which is exactly what Cardinal Air Duct Las Vegas provides. We include all registers, both plenums, the blower compartment, and the full trunk and branch runs in one flat system price, not a per-vent add-on that grows as the technician works. Call (725) 600-6597 for a free, no-obligation estimate with the exact number for your home.

Air duct cleaning is the process of removing accumulated dust, debris, pet dander, and contaminants from your home’s entire air distribution system, including the supply and return ducts, both plenums, and the blower compartment. Our Full System Cleaning covers every component so nothing is missed.
