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.

AfterFast, Reliable Air Duct Cleaning Across Alafaya
Air duct cleaning in Alafaya typically runs $350 – $650 for a full residential system and is scheduled by appointment with a written price locked in before any work starts. We’re Hollis Air Duct Cleaning, part of the Garrison Partners family, and we’ve been dispatching crews to Alafaya from our Miami office since 2004. If you live off Alafaya Trail, near the Econlockhatchee corridor, or in any of the subdivisions between Waterford Lakes and Oviedo, you’re in our regular service rotation. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate.
Alafaya’s not a generic Orlando suburb to us. We know the difference between a 2005-built Waterford Chase home with flex duct baking in a 140-degree attic and a rural property on a longer drive where road dust and pollen load the system year-round. That local knowledge changes what we bring, how long we stay, and what we check before we leave.
Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Alafaya’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
We’ve built our reputation in Alafaya on showing up inside the window, pricing in writing, and leaving the site clean. The Garrison Standard requires it, and our 365-Day Done Right Promise backs it in writing: if the work fails within a year, we return and make it right at no charge, including a free second visit.
Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed. You know who’s walking into your home before they arrive. And when you call (361) 326-5060, a live person answers – no voicemail loops, no callback queues, no waiting until Monday.
We serve Alafaya with the same professional-grade equipment commercial crews use: Rotobrush rotary brush systems, Nikro negative-air machines, and filtration products from Honeywell, Aprilaire, Abatement Technologies, and Guardsman. Not hardware-store gear.
Dispatch and scheduling are coordinated from our Miami office, but the crews serving Alafaya are local. They know that a home near Alafaya Trail and Colonial Drive faces different attic-heat and humidity stress than one closer to the Seminole County line, and they adjust the job scope accordingly.
Commercial Air Duct Cleaning in Alafaya
Commercial Air Duct Cleaning in Alafaya covers office suites, retail spaces, medical clinics, and apartment common areas along the Alafaya Trail corridor and near the University of Central Florida. These systems are larger, often run on rooftop package units, and collect construction dust from ongoing tenant improvements plus the same pollen and humidity load that hits residential systems. A typical commercial duct cleaning in Alafaya runs $800 – $2,500 depending on square footage and system complexity.
Office and Retail Systems
Alafaya’s commercial strips near Colonial Drive and along Alafaya Trail see heavy HVAC runtime in summer, and the flex duct or hard pipe in those ceiling plenums loads up with fine dust that standard filter changes won’t touch. We use Nikro negative-air machines with HEPA filtration to pull debris out without contaminating occupied space.
Multi-Unit Common Areas
Apartment and townhome complexes in Alafaya often neglect the main return trunks and exhaust shafts that serve multiple units. Our crew scopes these with video inspection first, then cleans to NADCA standards so property managers have documentation for insurance and health inspections.
Air Duct Cleaning Services in Alafaya
Air Duct Cleaning Services in Alafaya include full-system source removal for residential homes: supply ducts, return ducts, trunk lines, registers, grilles, and the air handler cabinet including the blower motor and coil when accessible. A typical single-family home in Alafaya runs $350 – $650; larger homes or those with multiple systems run higher. We don’t price per vent. One flat price per system, agreed before we start.
Video Inspection Before and After
We run a camera through key sections of your Alafaya home’s ductwork so you see what we’re starting with. After cleaning, we run it again. The before-and-after photos are yours to keep. This matters especially in Alafaya, where attic heat can bake debris into the flex duct liner and make a visual check the only way to confirm source removal actually happened.
Supply and Return Duct Cleaning
Supply ducts push conditioned air into your rooms; returns pull it back. In Alafaya’s slab-on-grade homes, both run through the same hot attic, and both load up with the same pollen-dust film. Cleaning only one side leaves half the problem circulating. We do both, plus the connecting trunk, every time.

Trusted Brands We Service in Alafaya
Our Alafaya crews carry professional-grade equipment from Rotobrush, Nikro, and Abatement Technologies, plus filtration products from Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Guardsman. We don’t show up with a shop vac and a brush. The rotary brush systems and negative-air machines we use are the same tools specified for hospital and school duct cleaning. For Alafaya homeowners, that means source removal that actually pulls debris out of the system instead of just knocking it loose to recirculate. We stock common filtration and access components locally, so if your job reveals a failed register seal or a missing return filter rack, we can address it on the spot instead of scheduling a return trip.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Alafaya Homes
- Attic heat bakes dust into hard film. Alafaya’s unconditioned attics routinely hit 120 – 140°F, and that heat cooks unpaved-road dust and pollen into a sticky layer on flex duct liner. A surface pass with a brush won’t lift it. You need agitation tools under true negative pressure to get source removal.
- Outbuilding duct runs get skipped entirely. Rural Alafaya properties with detached shops, barns, or garage apartments often have separate trunk lines that don’t connect to the main house system. Crews clean the main house, test it, and leave – while the outbuilding keeps feeding dust back into whatever space it serves.
- Longer drives lead to rushed jobs. Properties on rural Alafaya roads with longer service drives sometimes get a quick register-and-return pass while the blower motor, coil, and plenum compartments stay untouched. We budget the full job scope in our written price, and we don’t leave until the agreed work is done.
- Musty smells spike after spring pollen and summer storms. Alafaya’s AC runs almost every day, and the combination of high humidity and organic debris in the duct liner creates microbial growth that homeowners notice right after the spring pollen peak and again after summer storm season. The local cleaning calendar runs opposite cooler climates.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Alafaya, FL
A typical residential Air Duct Cleaning in Alafaya runs $350 – $650 for a single system. Two-system homes or those with separate outbuilding duct runs run $550 – $950. Commercial systems start around $800 and scale with square footage and access complexity.
What moves the price: number of systems, accessibility of the air handler (attic vs. closet), whether video inspection is requested, and whether the job includes the blower motor and coil. We don’t bait with a low per-vent teaser and then add charges at the door. The price is written down before any work starts, and it does not move.
Every Alafaya job includes our 365-Day Done Right Promise. If the work fails within a year, we come back and make it right at no charge, including a free second visit. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Alafaya
Every 2 – 3 years, not the standard 3 – 5 year interval. The unpaved road dust and year-round pollen loading on rural Alafaya properties accumulates faster than in inland subdivisions, and the AC runtime here never gives the system a seasonal break. If you notice musty smells after spring pollen or reduced airflow from registers, call (361) 326-5060 and we’ll scope it.
Yes, and it needs to be included in the written scope before work starts. Outbuilding duct runs in Alafaya are often on separate trunk lines that don’t connect to the main house system. A crew that cleans only the main house and tests it will miss the outbuilding entirely, leaving that system to recirculate dust back into whatever space it serves. Ask us to inspect and quote it together.
Because organic debris in your attic flex ducts combines with Alafaya’s high humidity to support microbial growth, and the spikes happen when pollen loads peak in spring and when storm-driven moisture raises attic humidity in summer. The smell is a signal that the duct liner is holding debris that needs source removal, not just a filter change. Our camera inspection will show you exactly where.
Ask for a written scope that includes: supply ducts, return ducts, trunk lines, all registers and grilles, the air handler cabinet, the blower motor, and video inspection before and after. Ask whether outbuilding or detached runs are included. Ask whether the price is flat per system or per vent. At Hollis, we put all of this in writing before we start, and we don’t leave until the agreed scope is complete.
Yes. Flex duct has a plastic liner and fiberglass insulation that can be damaged by overly aggressive tools or high vacuum pressure. Our Rotobrush systems are calibrated for flex duct, and our technicians are trained to inspect for collapsed or kinked sections while they’re in the attic. Alafaya’s heat-baked debris is harder to remove from flex liner than from smooth metal, so the agitation and negative-pressure sequence matters more here.
