Whole-system duct and dryer vent check with before-and-after photos - you see exactly what came out of your vents
That "$99 whole-house special" is a bait ad - the real number appears once they are in your hallway, or the "clean" is a shop-vac at the register. We photograph the inside of your ducts before and after instead.

AfterAir Duct Cleaning Company in Windermere, FL
Air duct cleaning in Windermere typically runs $450 – $850 for a whole-home system, with lakefront homes on the Butler Chain often landing at the higher end due to extended duct runs and microbial treatment needs. We’re Hollis Air Duct Cleaning, and we’ve built our approach around the realities of this market: large custom homes with multiple zones, attic ductwork that stays damp eight months a year, and homeowners who expect a written price before anyone touches their system. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate.
Why Windermere Homes Are Different
Windermere isn’t built like the rest of Orange County. The housing stock here skews heavily toward custom-built estates, many 3,000 to 8,000-plus square feet on half-acre to multi-acre lots, with construction spanning the 1990s luxury boom through newer lakefront builds. These aren’t tract homes with compact duct layouts. Multiple HVAC zones, extensive flex duct and hard pipe runs through unconditioned attics, and return pathways that pull air from three stories create a cleaning job that’s closer to commercial work than a standard residential service.
The climate compounds everything. Windermere’s humid subtropical conditions mean air conditioning runs almost continuously from April through October, keeping ductwork damp and primed for mold and mildew. The Butler Chain of Lakes adds moisture you don’t find even ten miles inland. During summer rainy season, we’ve seen condensation form inside metal trunk lines in lakefront homes, producing musty odors and visible growth around registers that simply doesn’t occur in drier Orlando neighborhoods. Spring pollen from live oaks and slash pines gets drawn into return ducts at volumes that clog coils faster than inland areas. And many Windermere communities operate under HOA maintenance standards that require documented service for HVAC components, adding a paperwork layer you won’t find in unincorporated Orange County.
Our Main Windermere Services
Windermere homeowners call us for three core jobs, each shaped by the conditions above.
Air Duct Cleaning in Windermere
We clean the full supply and return network using a Rotobrush rotary brush system paired with Nikro negative-air machines to pull dislodged debris out of the home, not just redistribute it. In Windermere, this almost always includes coil cleaning and antimicrobial treatment, given the persistent moisture in attic ductwork. We document before-and-after conditions with photos the homeowner keeps. Air Duct Cleaning in Windermere
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Windermere
Long vent runs through multi-story custom homes create lint accumulation points that standard brushes can’t reach. We use rotary whip systems and camera inspection to verify full clearance, particularly important in Windermere’s larger floor plans where dryers often sit far from exterior walls. Blocked vents are a documented fire risk, and insurance inspectors in this market increasingly flag them. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Windermere
Duct Sealing in Windermere
Unconditioned attic runs in Windermere homes leak conditioned air year-round, but the problem peaks in July and August when attic temperatures exceed 140°F. We apply duct sealing mastic and mechanical fasteners to joints and seams, then verify with pressure testing. Sealed ducts typically reduce cooling load 15 – 20 percent in homes of this size and construction era, with payback periods that matter given local utility rates. Duct Sealing in Windermere
