Air Duct & Dryer Vent Cleaning FAQ

Air Duct Cleaning

Every 3–5 years for most homes. However, in Florida’s climate — with year-round HVAC use, coastal humidity, and heavy pollen seasons — we recommend every 2–3 years. If you’ve never had it done, or just moved into a home and don’t know its history, it’s worth getting it done now.

Common signs include dust visible on vent covers, a musty or stale smell when the AC runs, allergy symptoms that are worse indoors, uneven airflow between rooms, or if you’ve recently had renovation or construction work done in the home.

Most homes take 2–4 hours depending on size, number of vents, and system condition.

No. We use DBPR-compliant, non-invasive methods. We do not cut access panels or remove air grilles. Everything is done through existing openings.

We use commercial-grade negative-air vacuum equipment to place the duct system under sustained negative pressure. This pulls loose debris — dust, pet dander, and accumulated particles — out of the supply and return lines throughout the duct system and into a contained collection unit. We do not use mechanical agitation tools inside the air ducts.

Yes, we ask that an adult be present for the full service so we can walk you through what we find and confirm the work before we leave.

Our duct cleaning process uses professional negative-air equipment to create strong suction throughout the system while supply ducts are cleaned individually. Returns are sealed to maintain pressure, debris is captured in a dedicated filtration unit, and the air handler is protected during the process to keep contaminants out of the HVAC equipment.

Dryer Vent Cleaning

At minimum, once per year. If you have a longer vent run, a roof-venting system, or do heavy laundry, every 6–9 months. Florida’s humidity accelerates lint buildup compared to drier climates.

Your clothes take more than one cycle to dry, the dryer or laundry room feels unusually hot, you smell something burning when the dryer runs, or it’s been more than a year since it was last cleaned.

Yes — lint buildup in dryer vents is one of the leading causes of house fires in the US. It’s not a scare tactic, it’s a real risk that’s easy and inexpensive to prevent.

No. The lint trap catches a fraction of the lint produced. The rest travels through the vent line and accumulates over time. Only a full professional cleaning clears the entire vent run.

Yes. Many Palm Coast homes have dryer vents that exit through the roof. We’re equipped to handle these — including checking the exterior exhaust and testing airflow before and after.

Most jobs take under an hour.
