Why Clean Your Air Ducts?

Your air ducts circulate air throughout your home 5-7 times per day. Over time, they accumulate dust, pollen, pet dander, mold spores, and other contaminants that get recirculated every time your HVAC system runs.
In Florida’s humid climate, moisture can lead to mold and mildew growth in ductwork. Combined with dust and debris, this creates the perfect environment for bacteria and allergens that affect your family’s health.
Professional duct cleaning removes these contaminants, improving air quality, system efficiency, and creating a healthier home environment. The EPA estimates that indoor air can be 2-5 times more polluted than outdoor air – clean ducts make a real difference.

Florida’s Unique Challenges

High humidity, frequent AC use, and coastal air quality make Southwest Florida homes particularly susceptible to duct contamination. Regular cleaning is even more important in our climate to maintain healthy indoor air.

Benefits of Duct Cleaning

Discover why mini-splits are becoming the preferred choice for homeowners

  • Improved Air Quality: Removes dust, allergens, mold spores, and contaminants for cleaner, healthier indoor air.
  • Better Health: Helps reduce allergies, asthma triggers, and respiratory irritants—especially beneficial for children, seniors, and those with breathing conditions.
  • Lower Energy Bills: Improves airflow efficiency, reducing HVAC strain and lowering energy use by up to 20%.
  • Eliminate Odors: Removes musty smells, pet odors, tobacco smoke, and other trapped odors.
  • Extend System Life: Reduces wear and tear on HVAC components by improving airflow.
  • Cleaner Home: Less circulating dust means less frequent cleaning and dusting.

Signs You Need Duct Cleaning

Watch for these common warning signs:

  • Visible dust or debris blowing from vents
  • Increased allergies or respiratory issues at home

Duct Cleaning FAQS

The National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA) recommends cleaning every 3-5 years for most homes. However, you may need more frequent cleaning if you have pets, smokers, recent renovations, allergies, or visible mold. New homeowners should consider cleaning as you don’t know the maintenance history.
A typical residential duct cleaning takes 3-5 hours, depending on the size of your home, number of vents, and contamination level. Larger homes or heavily contaminated systems may take longer. We’ll provide an estimated timeframe during your inspection.

Costs vary based on home size, number of vents, and ductwork accessibility. Most homes range from $400-$1,000. Beware of “$99 whole house” deals – these are often bait-and-switch scams. We provide detailed, honest estimates with no hidden charges.

Yes! Dryer vent cleaning is a separate service but extremely important for fire safety and dryer efficiency. Clogged dryer vents are a leading cause of house fires. We recommend annual dryer vent cleaning.
