Lennox Air Duct Cleaning in Plantation, FL | Hollis Air Duct Fort Lauderdale
We provide independent Air Duct Cleaning in Plantation, and the work here runs different from anywhere else in Broward County. Slab-foundation ranches built in the 1960s and 70s push moisture, concrete dust, and storm-driven debris through Lennox returns in ways newer construction never does. Our crew has cleaned more of these systems than we can count, and we bring that neighborhood-level knowledge to every job, no factory badge required. Call (754) 354-3644 for a written estimate before we touch anything.
When you buy a Lennox, you’re paying for air that moves clean and steady. Plantation’s humidity, afternoon lightning storms, and aging ranch ductwork work against that from day one. We’re the Lennox sales & service people who actually understand what these systems do in South Florida, not a call center reading from a script. Roy Castellanos runs every job by the same standard: show up inside the window, price it in writing, leave the site squared away.
Why Plantation Residents Choose Us for Lennox Service
Roy Castellanos came up through Los Angeles Trade-Technical College and spent the better part of two decades working HVAC and duct systems across South Florida. He’s seen what Fort Lauderdale’s salt air does to a blower motor and what Plantation’s slab homes do to a return plenum. That’s the difference between a tech who cleans your ducts and one who knows why they’re failing.
We’re independent, not manufacturer-affiliated. That matters because we tell you what your Lennox ductwork actually needs, not what adds the most to an invoice. If a rusted section of original galvanized duct needs replacing, we say so. If a cleaning will get the system moving right, we say that too. Our service area covers all of Plantation service area, from the ranches off West Broward Boulevard to the communities around Plantation Acres.

Common Lennox Air Duct Cleaning Problems We Solve in Plantation
- Rust scale in original galvanized ducts. Lennox systems installed in 1970s and 80s Plantation ranches used metal ductwork with little insulation. Decades of salt-laden humidity and condensation have flaked rust scale inside those runs. That scale breaks loose during cleaning and clogs supply registers if the crew doesn’t work from the register back to the air handler. We do.
- Mold in low-lying flex ducts after thunderstorms. Ranch homes east of University Drive sit on slab foundations with poor drainage. After a heavy summer downpour, water collects in sagging flex ducts and the inner liner grows mold. You smell it before you see it. We extract the water and clean the liner with negative-air equipment, then seal the connections so it doesn’t come back.
- Blower motors choked with dust and humidity residue. Lennox blowers in Plantation run hard from May through October. Fine dust mixed with humid air cakes onto the blower wheel and slows airflow. Homeowners call us thinking their motor is dead. Half the time the motor’s fine, the duct blockage is the real problem. We clean the full supply and return sides before recommending a motor replacement.
- Biofilm on evaporator coils mixing with duct debris. Plantation’s high humidity encourages a thin biofilm on Lennox coils. When that mixes with years of dust pushing through the ducts, the house picks up a faint mildew smell even when the coil isn’t frozen. A deep duct cleaning plus coil inspection resolves it.
- Concrete dust in return plenums cut through slab floors. Many original Plantation ranches have Lennox air handlers in closets with returns cut directly through the slab. Fine concrete dust from the foundation gets pulled in, especially after storms push moisture through the slab. That dust recirculates through the whole house if the return side isn’t deep-cleaned. It’s the first thing we check on these older homes.
Lennox Service in Plantation: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here’s what people don’t get about Plantation’s older Lennox systems: the original 1960s and 70s ranches have air handlers tucked into closets with return plenums cut straight through the slab floor. Not a raised platform, not a wall cavity. A hole in the concrete. Over the years, that plenum collects fine concrete dust and picks up moisture from the slab itself. Then a summer thunderstorm rolls through, drops two inches of rain in an hour, and pushes that damp, dusty air through the blower and into every supply run. If the return side isn’t deep-cleaned, you’re recirculating slab dust and storm moisture through a Lennox that was never sized for it. We clean the whole return path on these homes, not just the visible supply registers. It changes how the system breathes.
Lennox Models & Products We Service in Plantation
We work on the full Lennox residential range that shows up in Plantation homes. The Elite Series air handlers, like the CBX25UH, are common in mid-century ranch retrofits. The Merit Series (ML180 furnaces and matched duct runs) appears in plenty of 80s tract homes. Signature Series systems like the SL280 and XP21 pair with high-efficiency duct designs that need careful cleaning to preserve airflow. We also handle Healthy Climate components, including PureAir S and Carbon Clean 16 systems integrated into the ductwork. We use quality aftermarket parts and sealants that match Lennox OEM specifications, and we’re straight with you about the difference. When older Plantation ducts are too far gone, we’ll tell you repair versus replacement straight, not push the cheaper fix that fails in a year.

FAQs – Lennox Air Duct Cleaning in Plantation
Plantation’s slab foundations and low-lying flex ducts trap moisture after heavy rain. Water pools in sagging duct runs, the inner liner grows mold, and the musty smell pushes through the registers every time the blower cycles. We extract the standing water, clean the liner, and seal the connections with mastic so the cycle stops. Call (754) 354-3644 if you smell it after the next storm.
Yes. Healthy Climate filtration components trap particles that standard filters miss, but they load up over time in Plantation’s humid, dusty conditions. We clean or replace the filtration media, clean the surrounding ductwork, and confirm airflow through the purification unit. It’s part of a full Lennox duct service, not an upsell.
In some cases, yes. Severely rusted galvanized duct can shed more scale when agitated. We inspect with video first, then give you an honest recommendation. If the duct walls are too thin, cleaning could damage them further and replacement is the smarter call. If the rust is surface-level, we clean carefully and seal what we can. No guessing, no surprise invoice.
Salt accelerates corrosion on metal duct components. Plantation sits closer to the Atlantic than Sunrise or Coconut Creek, so galvanized duct sections in older Lennox systems rust faster here. That rust scale flakes into the airstream and clogs registers over time. We account for salt-driven corrosion when we inspect your duct runs and recommend whether cleaning or replacement makes sense.
Yes. Variable-speed blowers run constantly at low RPM, which means dust and humidity residue build up differently than a single-stage system. The blower wheel picks up a fine coating that reduces airflow slowly, so homeowners barely notice until uneven cooling shows up. We clean supply and return ductwork plus the blower wheel itself, which is the only way to restore airflow on these systems. Call (754) 354-3644 for an estimate on your Elite or Signature setup.
