Air Duct Cleaning in Kendall, FL

Family homes across Kendall often run their AC around the clock in summer, making coil mold and duct dust common, and duct efficiency a real factor in cooling bills.

Our insured technicians bring NADCA source-removal equipment to every Kendall 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 Kendall homeowners breathe cleaner air.

Kendall runs its air conditioning harder than almost anywhere in Miami-Dade

Kendall is inland, which sounds like it should mean less humidity than the coast. In practice it means less sea breeze, and less sea breeze means the air conditioning runs longer to reach the same temperature. Systems in The Hammocks and Country Walk routinely run fifteen or sixteen hours a day through August.

A system running that much moves an enormous volume of air through the ductwork, and everything that air is carrying, construction dust from a neighbour's renovation, pollen, pet dander, drywall dust from your own ceiling, gets deposited along the way. This is the mechanism people miss: the duct does not get dirty because dirt falls into it. It gets dirty because your system is pulling several thousand cubic feet of air a minute past its surfaces.

The townhouse and second floor question

Much of Kendall west of the turnpike is two storey townhouse construction, and two storeys introduce a problem single storey homes do not have. The upstairs is served by the same air handler as the downstairs, usually through a trunk that runs vertically inside a chase, and hot air rises regardless of what the thermostat wants.

Balancing that is a duct question before it is an equipment question. If your upstairs is consistently three or four degrees warmer than downstairs, the first things worth checking are whether the upstairs supply runs are actually open, whether the return upstairs is adequate, and whether the vertical trunk has come apart inside the chase where nobody can see it. We check all three as part of the job rather than treating the system as a set of ducts to be brushed.

The older Kendall ranch houses, where the closet is the return

Kendall is not all townhouses. Devon-Aire, Snapper Creek and the older streets either side of Kendall Drive have a lot of single storey concrete block houses from the sixties and seventies, and many of those systems have a feature newer ones do not: the air handler closet is the return. There is a louvered door or a grille in the closet wall, a filter at the bottom of the unit, and the closet itself acting as the duct back to the blower.

That works until the closet fills with whatever is stored in it, its walls turn out to be unsealed drywall and framing, and the gap around the door or the filter rack lets air reach the blower without passing through the filter. Dust that never meets a filter coats the blower wheel and the coil, and the house is back to grey grilles within weeks of a cleaning. On these houses we look at the closet before the ducts, and sealing that return path is often worth more than anything done downstream of it.

The air handlers in these houses are usually on their second or third replacement, each one dropped into the same closet and connected to the same ducts. A new unit on old distribution does not reach its rating, and if the bedroom at the end of the hall never keeps up, the run to that room is the first suspect rather than the equipment.

Air duct cleaning in Kendall condos and villas

The garden condominiums and villa rows along Kendall Drive and around Dadeland are a third kind of Kendall system. The air handler is in a closet inside the unit, the runs above the ceiling are short, and a full cleaning, blower and coil included, takes a few hours.

Two things are particular to them. The condensate drain from a closet unit on an upper floor runs past the unit below, so a slow drain is a neighbour's ceiling stain as well as your own problem, and we look at the pan and the line on every visit in these buildings. And the association usually wants a certificate of insurance before anyone works inside, which we issue in the association's name and send ahead.

The price follows the system rather than the address. A one bedroom villa with a handful of registers sits at the bottom of the $300 to $600 range, and you have the figure before we book.
