Air Duct Cleaning in Fort Lauderdale, FL

With hundreds of miles of canals and constant coastal moisture, Fort Lauderdale homes are especially susceptible to duct and air-handler mold.

Our insured technicians bring NADCA source-removal equipment to every Fort Lauderdale job, placing your entire HVAC system under suction so dust, pollen, and mold are captured, not scattered through your home. Whether you're dealing with a musty AC smell, high energy bills, allergy flare-ups, or simply overdue maintenance, we help Fort Lauderdale homeowners breathe cleaner air.

Waterfront property, canal air and what it does indoors

Fort Lauderdale has more linear feet of canal frontage than almost any city in the country, and living on the water changes the air your system is working with. Humidity next to a canal is measurably higher than a few blocks inland, and it stays higher overnight when the air cools and the relative humidity climbs.

For a duct system this means the hours when the air conditioning is off are the hours that matter. A system that has been running all day has cold duct surfaces, and when it shuts off and warm damp air reaches those surfaces, they sweat. Rio Vista, the Las Olas Isles and the Victoria Park canal blocks all show this pattern more than the inland neighborhoods.

Older houses, newer systems, and the gap between them

Much of Victoria Park, Sailboat Bend and Poinsettia Heights predates central air conditioning, which means every system in those houses has been fitted after the fact and often replaced several times since. Each replacement tends to address the equipment and leave the distribution alone, so it is entirely normal here to find a two year old air handler connected to duct installed in the sixties.

That combination is where we find the largest gains. The equipment is fine. The duct is leaking, restricted, or both, and the homeowner has been told repeatedly that the system is simply old.

Is HVAC duct cleaning in Fort Lauderdale different from air duct cleaning?

Yes, they are two jobs, priced separately so you only pay for the one you need. Air duct cleaning in Fort Lauderdale clears the supply and return ducts and costs $300 to $600 for one system. HVAC cleaning works on the equipment itself, the evaporator coil, blower wheel, air handler cabinet and condensate drain, and costs $200 to $450. Near the canals the coil usually fouls first, because it is the coldest, wettest surface in the house.

If the air smells musty as the system starts and the smell fades, the coil and drain are the likely source and HVAC cleaning is the job. If dust keeps coming out of the registers or one room never cools, the ducts are. Many Fort Lauderdale homes, especially the Las Olas and beachside condos with the air handler in a closet, need both, and we tell you which before booking.

Every service below is available to Fort Lauderdale residents and businesses:

That covers residential air duct cleaning for houses, condos and townhomes, and commercial air duct cleaning in Fort Lauderdale for offices, medical suites, shops and building common areas, scheduled after hours when the space has to stay open. Air conditioning duct cleaning is the same job under another name: the supply and return ducts, the registers and the ventilation path back to the air handler. Where a musty smell or a mold history is the reason for the call, air vent and duct sanitizing follows the cleaning, never instead of it.
