Air Duct Cleaning Company in Calabasas, CA
Air duct cleaning in Calabasas runs $400 – $650 for a typical 2,500 – 3,000 sq ft home with one HVAC system, and most jobs take 3 – 5 hours. The work here is shaped by the housing stock: large custom estates, gated communities like The Oaks, and hillside builds from the 1980s – 2000s boom that often have long duct runs, multiple zones, and attic access that bakes in the summer sun. Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning handles all three core jobs in Calabasas – air duct cleaning, HVAC cleaning, and dryer vent cleaning – and you’ll get a written price before anything is touched. Call (559) 295-5878 for a quote that won’t change at the door.
Why Calabasas Homes Are Different
Calabasas isn’t a cookie-cutter suburb. The housing mix runs from 1970s-80s contemporaries to sprawling newer Mediterranean-style estates, and that means two very different duct systems in the same service area. Older homes often still have original flex duct or fiberglass-lined sheet metal that holds onto dust differently than the rigid metal in newer builds. The newer estates, particularly in The Oaks and Mountain View Estates, tend to have multiple HVAC zones with long horizontal runs through tight attic spaces under tile roofs. In August, those attics can hit 140°F, which is why our crews in Calabasas schedule attic work early in the morning whenever possible and use low-profile Rotobrush equipment to reach ductwork without scraping high-end finishes.
The other big factor here is the air itself. Calabasas sits in a hot-summer Mediterranean pocket with Santa Ana winds that push fine dust and, in bad fire years, ash into homes. The 2018 Woolsey Fire left a lasting mark on this market – many rebuilt or remediated homes have brand-new duct systems that were never properly cleaned after construction, with drywall dust and insulation debris still sitting in the runs. We see that constantly. A post-construction cleaning on a Calabasas rebuild is a different job than a routine service on a 1990s original, and we treat it that way.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Calabasas Services
Calabasas homeowners call us most about air duct cleaning and dryer vent cleaning, with HVAC cleaning close behind, especially after wildfire season or major remodels.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Calabasas
Long dryer vent runs are common in Calabasas because laundry rooms often sit on interior walls, with the vent snaking through a crawl space or up through the roof. That extra distance is exactly where lint accumulates fastest, and in a warm, dry climate it becomes a fire risk sooner than most homeowners expect. Our Dryer Vent Cleaning in Calabasas page covers what we do and what it costs. We run a brush through the full vent length and use a HEPA vacuum to pull the loosened lint out, not into your laundry room.
Air Duct Cleaning in Calabasas
Most Calabasas homes have extensive duct runs serving multiple zones, so a full air duct cleaning takes longer here than in a three-bedroom tract house. We use negative-pressure extraction – that means the loosened debris goes straight into a Nikro HEPA vacuum, not back into your living room. The full scope and local pricing are on our Air Duct Cleaning in Calabasas page. If you’re doing it because of post-construction dust, pet dander, or a smoke event, we’ll tell you honestly whether cleaning is enough or whether filtration and sealing deserve a look.
HVAC Cleaning in Calabasas
HVAC cleaning means the whole system, not just the ductwork: blower motor, evaporator coil, drain pan, and housing. In Calabasas, where many homes have two or three units to cover large floor plans, this is the job that actually moves the needle on airflow and efficiency. It’s also the service we recommend after a Santa Ana wind stretch drops a fine layer of dust across the whole house. You can see the scope and costs on our HVAC Cleaning in Calabasas page. Every job includes before-and-after photos so you can see what was removed.

What pushes a Calabasas quote toward the higher end is access: attic runs under a tile roof, crawl-space sections, or a third unit on the far side of the house all add time. What doesn’t change is the price: you get a written number before any work starts, and it stays that number.
