Air Duct Cleaning in Fort Lauderdale - Flat Price Per System, No Per-Vent Upsells

Trusted Air Duct Cleaning for Fort Lauderdale Homeowners

Air duct cleaning in Fort Lauderdale is a scheduled job, not an emergency call. The air moving through a South Florida home pulls moisture, salt, and fine construction dust through the ductwork every single day. Over time, that buildup restricts airflow, forces the AC to work harder, and recirculates particles you’d rather not breathe. Hollis Air Duct Fort Lauderdale has been cleaning ducts in Broward County since 2004, and we do it one way: a written price before any work starts, a uniformed and background-checked technician inside your home, and a 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. Roy Castellanos runs this location, and he stands behind every job. Call (754) 354-3644 and you’ll speak to a live person, not a voicemail loop.

Air Duct Cleaning Services

Air Duct Cleaning Services cover the full path air travels through your home: supply ducts, return ducts, registers, and the plenum. In Fort Lauderdale, where AC runs nearly year-round, ducts collect more than dust. Humidity breeds biological growth, and coastal air carries fine salt that settles inside the system. We clean the entire run with a Rotobrush rotary brush system paired with a Nikro negative-air machine, which means debris gets pulled out under vacuum instead of blown around your house. A typical whole-home cleaning in Fort Lauderdale runs $350 to $600 depending on the number of systems and the length of duct runs. The price you’re quoted is the price you pay, written down before we touch a register.

Supply and Return Duct Cleaning

Supply ducts carry conditioned air to each room; return ducts pull air back to the handler. Both need cleaning. We run the rotary brush through every accessible section and apply negative air pressure so loosened debris exits the system through the vacuum, not through your living room.

Registers, Grilles, and Plenum Cleaning

Registers and grilles are where dust shows first, but the plenum is where it accumulates unseen. We remove, clean, and reseat every visible register while treating the plenum as the priority it is. That’s the difference between a surface job and a real cleaning.

HVAC Duct Cleaning

HVAC Duct Cleaning addresses the ducts tied directly to your heating and cooling system, not just the visible vents. Homes in Fort Lauderdale run air conditioning ten or eleven months a year, which means the blower moves a lot of air through the same duct runs day after day. That continuous operation pulls pet dander, sand, and general household dust into the system. Hollis Air Duct Fort Lauderdale cleans the full HVAC duct network, from the return drop to the farthest supply run. You can expect $350 to $600 for a single-system home, with larger or two-story homes priced accordingly before any work begins. Written pricing is The Garrison Standard, not a courtesy.

Coil and Blower Proximity Cleaning

We focus on the duct surfaces and the transition areas near the air handler, where dust loads are heaviest. The cleaner those sections stay, the less debris reaches the coil. That directly affects cooling performance and energy use.

Post-Cleaning Airflow Verification

After the ducts are cleaned, we check the airflow at each supply register to confirm the system is moving air as it should. If a room is weak, we’ll tell you. No vague assurances, just a direct read on system performance.

Vent Cleaning

Vent Cleaning means cleaning the visible vents and registers throughout the home, plus the immediate duct section behind them. In Fort Lauderdale, vents pick up a combination of dust, pet hair, and the residue from running AC constantly. We remove each vent cover, clean both sides, and run the brush into the accessible boot behind it. Expect vent cleaning for a typical single-family home to cost in the $150 to $300 range, depending on the number of vents. Hollis Air Duct Fort Lauderdale never prices per vent with a teaser figure that multiplies at the door. One flat price, written down, before we start.

Supply Vent Restoration

Supply vents in coastal homes often show light surface corrosion or oxidation from salt air. We clean them properly and advise honestly on whether replacement makes more sense than restoration. No upsell, just a straight answer.

Return Vent Cleaning and Filter Access

Return vents do double duty in Fort Lauderdale homes: they move air and they hold the filter. We clean the return grille and the filter housing, and we’ll show you the right filter setup for your system if you ask.

Air Duct Repair

Air Duct Repair fixes what years of heat, humidity, and poor installation leave behind: separated joints, sagging flex duct, crushed sections, and gaps that leak conditioned air into the attic. In Fort Lauderdale, leaky ducts are a direct cost. The air you paid to cool is escaping before it reaches the bedroom. Hollis Air Duct Fort Lauderdale repairs duct runs using proper sealing methods, including duct sealing mastic, which is a paste applied at joints that hardens into a durable, airtight seal. Basic repairs typically run $150 to $450 depending on access and the number of problem sections. Every repair is covered in writing by the 365-Day Done Right Promise.

Sealing Leaky Joints with Mastic

Mastic is the right material for most duct leaks. It goes on wet, fills the gap, and cures into a durable seal that doesn’t peel like tape. We use it on accessible joints and transitions, and we show you photos of the work when we’re finished.

Sagging and Crushed Flex Duct Repair

Attic heat softens flex duct over time, and that’s when it sags or kinks and chokes airflow. We repair or replace damaged sections and re-support the run so it holds its shape. A proper repair restores airflow to the room it serves, not just the duct itself.

Ductwork Cleaning

Ductwork Cleaning is the deep clean of the entire duct network, including the sections you can’t see from the living room. In Fort Lauderdale attics, temperatures routinely climb past 120 degrees, which bakes dust, dander, and salt residue onto duct walls. A shallow cleaning won’t touch that. We use a Nikro negative-air machine to create continuous suction while the Rotobrush rotary brush agitates the duct interior. That combination removes material a vacuum alone can’t. A full system cleaning for a single-system Fort Lauderdale home runs $400 to $650. If a crew is done in 45 minutes, they didn’t clean the system.

Negative-Air Method Explained

The negative-air method means the duct system is placed under vacuum while we work. Any debris we dislodge gets pulled directly into the machine’s filtration, not released into your home. This is how commercial crews do it, and it’s how we do every residential job.

Attic and Crawlspace Duct Runs

Fort Lauderdale homes place most ductwork in the attic, which means heat, insulation, and tight access are part of every job. Our technicians are equipped for attic work, and they protect the work area before the machine goes on. The site is left clean, every time.

Air Duct Inspection

Air Duct Inspection is a visual and diagnostic walk-through of your duct system to document its condition before anyone recommends work. You need this when you see dust returning too quickly after cleaning, when rooms cool unevenly, or when you’ve never had the system looked at. Hollis Air Duct Fort Lauderdale performs inspections as a standard part of every quote visit. We look at register airflow, visible duct sections, and the plenum, then give you a written report on what we found. A standalone inspection call in Fort Lauderdale runs $75 to $150, and that fee is credited toward cleaning if you book the work.

Camera Inspection of Problem Sections

When a duct section shows restricted airflow or visible damage, we can run a camera into the run to see exactly what’s inside. No guessing, no open-the-wall surprises. You see the same image we see, and you decide with facts in hand.

Pre-Purchase Duct Inspections

Buying a home in Fort Lauderdale? An inspection before closing tells you whether the ductwork is sound or set to become a problem. We document the condition and give you a written assessment you can take to the negotiating table.

Residential Air Duct Cleaning

Residential Duct Cleaning is the core of what Hollis Air Duct Fort Lauderdale does in Broward County. From ranch homes in Margate to condos in Fort Lauderdale and two-story properties in Plantation, the job is the same: clean the full duct run, document the work, and leave the home cleaner than we found it. Pricing for a standard single-family home runs $350 to $600. Condos and townhomes typically fall on the lower end because the duct runs are shorter. A written quote locks the price before the appointment starts. Roy Castellanos expects every technician to arrive inside the scheduled window, in uniform, ready to work.

Single-Family Home Cleaning

Most Fort Lauderdale homes have one system and between 8 and 16 supply runs. We inspect, clean, and verify every run we can access. The job takes three to five hours when done properly, not the 45 minutes a coupon crew will promise.

Condo and Townhome Cleaning

Condo duct systems are usually shorter, but they share building air paths and often haven’t been cleaned since construction. We’ve worked in buildings across Fort Lauderdale, Sunrise, and Hallandale Beach, and we coordinate with building management where access requires it.

Commercial Air Duct Cleaning

Commercial Duct Cleaning serves offices, retail spaces, medical suites, and restaurants throughout Fort Lauderdale and nearby communities like Dania Beach and Pembroke Park. Commercial systems move more air, run longer hours, and face stricter expectations from employees and customers. We use the same negative-air method and rotary brush equipment on commercial jobs, scaled to the size of the system. Commercial pricing is project-based and requires an on-site walk-through. Expect most small commercial spaces to start in the $800 to $1,500 range, with larger facilities quoted by system size and access.

Office and Retail Space Ducts

Clean ducts mean cleaner air for staff and customers, and fewer dust complaints. We schedule commercial work around your operating hours and provide documentation of completed work. The written price still applies, and so does the 365-Day Done Right Promise.

Restaurant and Medical Suite Systems

These spaces need a higher standard. Grease vapor in restaurant ductwork and the air-quality expectations in medical suites make regular cleaning a practical requirement. Hollis Air Duct Fort Lauderdale brings commercial filtration from Abatement Technologies to the job, and we leave the space ready for business.

Brands We Service

Hollis Air Duct Fort Lauderdale works on duct systems tied to equipment from all major manufacturers. When filtration is part of the job, we stock and install products from Honeywell and Aprilaire. Honeywell media filters and Aprilaire units are common in Fort Lauderdale homes because they handle the dust and humidity loads this climate produces. We explain what each system does in plain terms, and we install the right filter for the system you have.

On the commercial side and for specialized residential jobs, we use equipment from Abatement Technologies, which is built for negative-air capture and contaminant control. That’s the standard you want if your ducts carry construction dust, post-renovation debris, or just years of heavy buildup. Whether you have a Honeywell media cabinet, an Aprilaire unit, or any other make, we service it without a hard sell. The job is clean ducts, not a filter subscription pitch.

Signs You Need a Pro Right Now

• Dust returns within days of cleaning surfaces. If you dust the bedroom on Sunday and see a film by Wednesday, the ducts are likely recirculating particles. Clean ducts reduce that load at the source.
• Rooms cool unevenly throughout the house. One bedroom freezing, another warm, often points to airflow restriction in the duct run. A cleaning and inspection tells you whether it’s buildup or damage.
• You can see debris around register openings. Visible dust, pet hair, or discoloration around your vents means the system is pushing material into the room. What you see at the register is a fraction of what’s inside.
• The home was recently renovated or is new construction. Drywall dust, sawdust, and construction debris end up in ductwork during any renovation. New builds in Fort Lauderdale frequently need a cleaning before move-in.
• Allergy or breathing issues improve away from home. If symptoms ease at work or on vacation, the air in your home is a likely factor. Duct cleaning removes one major source of airborne irritants.

Our Process, Step by Step

1. 1
   Written quote and system walk-through. Every job starts with an inspection of the registers, visible duct sections, and the air handler area. You get a written price before any work starts. That price does not move at the door.
2. 2
   Equipment setup and home protection. We lay down floor protection and set up the Nikro negative-air machine. The duct system goes under negative pressure so debris exits through the machine, not your furniture.
3. 3
   Rotary brush cleaning of all accessible runs. The Rotobrush system agitates the duct walls and dislodges built-up material. The negative-air machine captures it immediately. This is the mechanical work most crews skip.
4. 4
   Register, plenum, and post-clean inspection. Every register is cleaned and reseated, and the plenum gets attention. We then walk each room with you and show before-and-after photos from the inspection camera.
5. 5
   Written completion report and guarantee. You receive documentation of the work performed and the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If something isn’t right within a year, we come back at no charge.
