Duct cleaning when you need it. A straight “no” when you don’t.
Half the duct cleaning sold in Florida is wasted money. We inspect with a camera first, show you what’s actually in there, and quote cleaning, sealing, or repair only if it will help. In writing, before any work.

Signs your ductwork is costing you money
Most SWFL homes run flex duct through an unconditioned attic. Florida heat cooks the connections loose, and every leak dumps air you paid to cool into the attic — then pulls hot, dusty attic air back into the house.
One or two rooms never cool — a crushed, disconnected, or leaking duct run starves the room farthest from the air handler.
Dust returns days after cleaning — return-side leaks vacuum insulation fibers and attic dust straight into your supply air.
FPL bill keeps climbing — leaky ducts make the system run longer to hit the same temperature. See why your AC runs constantly.
Musty smell when the AC kicks on — in our humidity, that can mean condensation and mold growth inside the ducts. This one you don’t ignore.
ENERGY STAR estimates a typical home loses 20–30% of its conditioned air to duct leaks. In a 10-month Florida cooling season, that’s real money every single month.
When duct cleaning is worth it — and when it isn’t
We turn down duct cleaning jobs every month. Coupon crews sell “whole-house duct cleaning” to houses that just need a better filter. Here’s the same standard we use on the phone:
Clean the ducts if you have:
- Visible mold on registers, the air handler, or inside duct runs
- Post-renovation debris — drywall dust and sawdust pulled through the system
- Pest evidence — droppings, nesting material, or insects in the ductwork
- A musty smell at startup that filter changes don’t fix
Save your money if:
- The dust is normal household dust — a quality filter and an AC tune-up fix that for far less
- Someone’s selling it on a schedule — ducts don’t need routine annual cleaning, period
- Allergies are the only symptom — filtration and UV usually beat cleaning; see our indoor air quality solutions
- The real problem is leaks — cleaning a leaky duct just gives the attic dust a cleaner road in. Seal first.

What we actually do to your ductwork
Inspect
Camera inspection of your duct runs and a leakage check. You see the footage — mold, debris, gaps, or a clean bill of health.
Quote
Written flat-rate price for exactly what’s needed: cleaning, sealing, repair, or “nothing — you’re fine.” No bait-and-switch coupons.
Fix
Negative-pressure cleaning with agitation for dirty ducts. Mastic and sealed connections for leaks. New runs where flex duct is past saving.
Verify
Airflow rechecked at the registers, before-and-after photos in your inbox, workspace cleaner than we found it.
Duct sealing & leak repair
The highest-payback duct work in Florida. We seal connections, plenums, and boots with mastic, re-strap sagging runs, and repair crushed or disconnected sections — so the air you cool reaches your rooms instead of your attic. Lower FPL bills, less dust, and rooms that finally cool evenly. Pairs well with blown-in attic insulation if you’re tackling the attic anyway.
Duct cleaning & sanitizing
When the camera shows mold, construction debris, or pest evidence, we clean with negative-pressure equipment and agitation tools — not a shop vac at the register. Mold cases get treated at the source, and if humidity caused it, we tell you how to stop it coming back. See our guide on why your house feels humid with the AC running.

Old ducts out, cold rooms fixed
A SWFL homeowner called about weak airflow and a system that ran all day. The camera told the story: decades-old ductwork leaking at nearly every connection, with runs too undersized for the system attached to them. Cleaning that would have been pointless — so we said so.
We replaced the failed runs, sealed every joint, and matched the ductwork to the equipment. Even cooling in every room, and a system that finally shuts off.

Duct Cleaning & Sealing FAQs
Do I actually need my ducts cleaned?
Maybe not. If you have visible mold, post-renovation dust, pest evidence, or a persistent musty smell — yes. If it’s ordinary household dust or allergies, a better filter, a tune-up, or UV treatment usually does more for less money. We inspect with a camera and tell you which one you are.
What about those $99 whole-house duct cleaning offers?
That price doesn’t cover doing the job right. The typical play is a quick vacuum at the registers, then a scary photo and a big “found mold” upcharge. A real cleaning uses negative-pressure equipment on the whole system and takes hours. We quote a flat written price after inspection — and if you don’t need cleaning, we say so.
How do I know if my ducts are leaking?
The classic signs: rooms that never cool, dust that comes back fast, rising FPL bills, and an attic that smells like your supply air. A duct leakage check confirms it. Florida attics are brutal on flex duct — tape dries out, connections sag loose, and insulation gets crushed.
Is duct sealing worth the money in Florida?
Usually, yes — it’s often the best efficiency dollar you can spend. ENERGY STAR puts typical duct losses at 20–30% of conditioned air, and SWFL’s 10-month cooling season means sealing pays back faster here than almost anywhere. We verify airflow after sealing so you can see the difference.
How often should ducts be cleaned?
There’s no set schedule, and anyone selling annual duct cleaning is selling. Industry guidance is to clean when there’s an actual trigger — mold, renovation debris, pests — which for most homes means every several years at most, and for some homes never.
Do you replace ductwork too?
Yes. When runs are crushed, undersized, or the inner liner is breaking down, replacement beats patching. We do full and partial duct replacement across Naples, Fort Myers, and Cape Coral — sealed, strapped, and sized to your system. Call (239) 977-2010 and we’ll take a look.
