FOR YOUR HOME

What Residential AC Duct Cleaning Includes

In a Florida home the air conditioning runs for most of the year, and the same air passes through the same ductwork thousands of times. Dust, pet hair and debris that get past the filter settle in the supply and return runs.

Our residential AC duct cleaning is $35 per vent with a $350 minimum. One HVAC system connection is included, and each additional system connection is $100.

Air handler, coil and blower cleaning are priced separately and only done if you approve them.

  • Every accessible supply and return run
  • Negative air equipment connected to the system
  • Air whips and agitation tools at each vent
  • Registers and grilles cleaned in place
  • Before and after photos when applicable
  • One HVAC system connection included

Why Homeowners Choose Us for AC Duct Cleaning

You should know who is coming into your home, what they are going to do and what it will cost. We keep all three simple.

Homes Are Our Everyday Work

Single-family homes, villas, condos and townhomes make up most of the duct cleaning we do across Central Florida.

Per-Vent Pricing

Residential AC duct cleaning is $35 per vent with a $350 minimum, with one HVAC system connection included.

Negative Air Throughout

The system is kept under negative air pressure while we work, so loosened debris is collected rather than blown into your rooms.

Your Home Protected

We protect the areas we work in and vacuum them before we leave.

Before and After Photos

We photograph the ductwork when applicable, so you can see the difference in your own runs.

Findings Explained

If we see something that needs attention beyond the cleaning, we explain it and give you the price first.

Coil and Blower Available

Accessible coil, blower and cabinet cleaning is available as HVAC cleaning, priced separately.

Done in One Visit

Most single-system homes are finished in a few hours, in one visit.

AC DUCT CLEANING

What builds up in a home AC system?

Household dust, pet hair, construction and renovation dust, and debris from the attic all find their way into residential ductwork. Filters catch a lot of it, but not everything, and what gets past settles along the runs and around the registers.

Dust returning quickly after housecleaning, grey marks around ceiling vents and musty odors when the system starts are the signs homeowners usually notice first.

HOW OFTEN

When Should You Have Your Home AC Ducts Cleaned?

There is no single schedule that suits every home. It depends on the condition of the ductwork, pets, renovations and how the home is used.

If you can see buildup in the ductwork, notice debris around the vents or the system has never been professionally cleaned, it is worth having it looked at.

Once It Is Done

After building work

Drywall sanding, flooring and demolition put fine dust into the return, and it settles in the ductwork. Clean once the work is finished.

Sooner if: A remodel, new flooring, a re-roof or a water leak near the ductwork.

Before You Settle

Moving in

A home you have just bought comes with ductwork you know nothing about. Having it cleaned before you move in is the simplest time.

Sooner if: No record of when the ducts were last cleaned.

When You See It

Visible buildup

Dust around the registers or debris you can see inside an accessible run is the clearest reason to book.

Sooner if: Dust returning within days, or musty odors when the system runs.

OUR METHOD

How We Clean Home AC Ductwork

We connect negative air equipment to the system and use air whips and agitation tools at the vents to loosen dust and debris inside the ductwork. The negative air equipment collects the material as it comes loose.

The work is done run by run through the accessible supply and return vents, and the equipment is matched to the type of duct in the home.

How the AC duct cleaning process works

1. Check the system

We look at the accessible ductwork and air handler before starting and count the vents.

2. Protect the home

The areas around the vents and the air handler are protected before anything is opened.

3. Connect negative air

The negative air machine is connected so loosened debris is drawn out of the system.

4. Clean each run

Air whips and agitation tools work through each supply and return run from the vents.

5. Clean the registers

Registers and grilles are cleaned in place.

6. Review the work

We clean up and show you what we found, including anything that might benefit from more work.

THE FILTER

Your filter tells you what the ducts are getting

Whatever the filter misses goes into the ductwork. A filter that is overdue, the wrong size or poorly seated lets dust straight past it. After a cleaning, a fresh filter changed on schedule is the simplest way to keep the ducts clean for longer.

  • Use the size the system is built for
  • Change it on schedule, not when it looks dirty
  • Make sure it seals in its slot

What to expect on the day

1

Arrival window

We confirm the appointment and give you an arrival window before the crew comes out.

2

Clear access

Clear space around the air handler and the supply and return vents so the technicians can reach them.

3

No need to leave

You can stay home and carry on with your day. The system is off while we work.

4

A few hours

Most residential cleanings take about 1.5 to 3 hours, depending on the home and the number of vents.

5

Recommendations explained

If coil, blower or cabinet cleaning would help, we explain it and give you the price before doing it.

6

Cleaned up after

The areas we worked in are cleaned and the system is put back into service.

We had our dryer vent cleaned by CAD Clean Air Duct Cleaning, and I’m honestly so glad we did. It hadn’t been cleaned in years, definitely not since we moved in a couple of years ago, so it was long overdue. The tech JJ showed up right on time, got to work quickly, and was super respectful of the space. He didn’t waste any time but still made sure to explain what he was doing and why it mattered. You could tell he knew his stuff. The dryer’s working noticeably better now! Clothes dry faster and the airflow is clearly improved. He also gave us a quote for whole-house duct cleaning while he was here, and based on how smooth and efficient this visit was, we’re already planning to book them again. Definitely recommend CAD Clean Air Duct Cleaning if you’re looking for honest, professional service that gets results at an affordable price. Can’t beat that!

We used Mold & Duct Cleaning Experts for mold testing before moving in. My husband had so many questions, David ended up staying way later than he probably should've of. It was much appreciated though because we ended up renting somewhere else. I feel like we dodged a bullet. Thanks David.

We've been using Clean Air Duct Cleaning for several years now and they continue to provide outstanding service every time. It's rare to find a company that consistently delivers such professionalism, reliability, and excellent customer care. A special thank you to Amy, who always makes scheduling easy and stress-free. She is friendly, organized, responsive and such a pleasure to work with. Her communication and attention to detail help make the entire process seamless from start to finish. We'd also like to recognize JJ, who performed our most recent service. He was punctual, friendly, professional and took the time to explain the work being performed. He answered any questions we had and it's clear he takes pride in doing the job right and ensuring customer satisfaction. Though we didn't personally communicate with Zarek, who was training under and assisting JJ, it was great to see the teamwork between them and both represented the company exceptionally well. The quality of the work, level of professionalism, and excellent customer service are why we continue to trust Clean Air Duct Cleaning year after year. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a dependable company that truly values its customers. Thank you, Amy, JJ and Zarek for another great experience!

Updated, they are working to make it right. If a company is willing to stand behind their work they are ok in my book. I paid 450$ to this company to clean my air ducts expecting them to actually clean them. I have had some asthma issues and looked in our air ducts again and look what I found. They later called me to explain why it was there I am notadvocating for the lack of information initially however if they make it right I’m good.

I make an appointment to have my air duct cleaned today. J.J and Roy came and inspected my air ducts and explained and showed me that my air ducts where clean and that all the black that I seeing is due to sooot from the candle burning and that I didn't need that service. I was really shook and impressed for their honesty. Most of the companies are only looking for the money and for charging you, even if you don't need it. They were nice, professionals and gave me some advise for future care of my air conditioning unit. I will definitely will be recommending this company to my friends. It is one in a million you can found a company that is honest and give you good service. Thanks guys!!!

HOMEOWNER GUIDE

What Residential AC Duct Cleaning Involves

Residential AC duct cleaning removes the dust and debris that collect in the ductwork connected to your home air conditioning system. It focuses on the accessible supply and return runs.

The approach depends on the home: attic ductwork in a single-story block home, a second system in a two-story house and underfloor runs in a manufactured home are all cleaned a little differently.

Will Duct Cleaning Make a Mess in My Home?

It should not. The system is kept under negative air pressure while we work, so loosened debris is drawn into the equipment rather than blown into your rooms.

The areas we work in are protected, and we clean up before we leave.

Do I Need to Be Home?

Someone needs to let the technicians in and be there when they finish so we can go over the work with you.

You do not need to follow the crew around. Most customers carry on with their day.

What About Homes With Two Systems?

Each system is cleaned the same way. The first system connection is included in the standard price, and each additional system connection is $100.

Tell us how many systems the home has when you call, so the estimate is accurate.

Does It Include the Air Handler?

Standard duct cleaning covers the ductwork. The air handler, coil and blower wheel are separate components, and cleaning them is HVAC cleaning, priced separately.

If we think they would benefit from cleaning, we explain what we found and give you the price first.

How Do I Keep the Ducts Clean Afterwards?

Change the filter on schedule, keep the return grille clear and have the system looked at after any renovation.

Those three habits do more to keep ductwork clean than anything else.

Residential AC duct cleaning FAQ

01How much does AC duct cleaning cost for a home?

Residential AC duct cleaning is $35 per vent with a $350 minimum, with one HVAC system connection included. Each additional system connection is $100, and coil, blower or cabinet cleaning is priced separately.

02How long does residential duct cleaning take?

Most homes take about 1.5 to 3 hours, depending on the size of the home, the number of vents and the access. Homes with two systems take longer.

03Do I need to leave the house while you clean?

No. You can stay home. The air conditioning is off while we work, and someone needs to be there at the start and the end.

04Will duct cleaning spread dust around my home?

It should not. The system is under negative air pressure throughout, so loosened debris is drawn into the equipment, and the work areas are protected and cleaned afterwards.

05Should I have the ducts cleaned before moving into a new home?

It is a good time to do it. You rarely know the cleaning history of a home you have just bought, and it is easier before furniture is in place.

06Do you clean ductwork in manufactured homes?

Yes. Ductwork under the floor is reached differently from attic runs, and we check its condition before deciding how to clean it.
