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 Glenvar Heights
Air duct cleaning in Glenvar Heights typically runs $350 – $650 for a full residential system, with most jobs completed in a single visit. We’re Hollis Air Duct Cleaning, and we’ve been dispatching crews to Glenvar Heights from our Miami office since 2004. Our technicians know the difference between the condo corridors near US-1 and the ranch properties off SW 72nd Street, where unpaved roads and wood heat change everything about how fast a duct system loads up with debris. If you’re seeing dust blow from your vents after a summer storm outage, or you’re on a rural parcel with a longer service drive, call (361) 326-5060. We answer live, 24 hours a day.
Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Glenvar Heights’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
We’ve built our reputation in Glenvar Heights on showing up inside the window and pricing the job in writing before we touch anything. That matters here because the housing stock is older, the conditions are harder on ducts, and homeowners have learned to be wary of crews who quote low over the phone and find “problems” once they’re inside.
Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed. You know who’s arriving before they pull in. We run Rotobrush rotary brush systems and Nikro negative-air machines, the same equipment commercial crews use, and we back every job with our 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If the work fails within a year, we come back and make it right at no charge, including a free second visit.
Dispatch and scheduling are coordinated from our Miami office, but crews serve Glenvar Heights locally. We know the mature tree canopy drop west of the Palmetto Expressway, the 1950s-60s ranch homes with original flex duct in the attic, and the call pattern that spikes after every summer blackout when AC restarts blow loose-fill insulation through the supply vents. That local knowledge means we arrive with the right tools and the right expectations, not a generic checklist.
Air Duct Repair in Glenvar Heights
Air Duct Repair in Glenvar Heights means fixing the torn, sagging, or disconnected runs that let conditioned air leak into your attic and pull hot, humid attic air back into your living space. Most of the homes we service here were built between the 1950s and 1970s with original flex duct that rubs against trusses, sags between supports, or splits at the plenum connection after decades of heat cycling. A typical repair job in Glenvar Heights runs $180 – $450 depending on how many runs need attention and whether we can access them through the existing attic hatch.
When Repair Beats Replacement
Not every damaged run needs full replacement. If the tear is localized and the duct is otherwise sound, we cut out the damaged section, install a proper collar, and seal with mastic rated for Florida humidity. We always run a camera first so you see what we see. No guesswork, no upsell.
Attic Access Challenges in Older Homes
Many Glenvar Heights ranches have tight attic hatches and shallow truss spaces. Our techs carry low-profile tools for these jobs, and we protect your floors and finishes while we work. The site gets left clean. That’s The Garrison Standard.
Ductwork Cleaning in Glenvar Heights
Ductwork Cleaning in Glenvar Heights is source removal, not a surface wipe. We seal the supply and return registers, attach a Nikro negative-air machine to create suction through the entire system, then use mechanical agitation, rotary brushes, and compressed air whips to knock debris loose and pull it out. For a typical single-story ranch, expect $350 – $550. Larger homes or systems with heavy contamination from post-outage insulation blowback can run $500 – $750. We photograph the before and after so you know the work happened inside your ducts, not just at the vents.
Camera Inspection Before and After
We run a video inspection before we start and after we finish. You see the debris load, the sagging runs, the insulation that migrated into the branch lines. Then you see the clean metal. That transparency is how we work.
HEPA Filtration During the Job
Our machines exhaust through HEPA filtration so we’re not redistributing what we just removed. In Glenvar Heights, where pollen counts stay high for months and mold spores thrive in humid attic spaces, that containment matters.
Trusted Brands We Service in Glenvar Heights
We stock parts and filtration products from Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Abatement Technologies for Glenvar Heights customers, which means faster turnaround when your system needs a filter upgrade or a UV light install during the same visit. Our equipment roster includes Rotobrush rotary brush systems for mechanical agitation and Nikro negative-air machines for source removal. These are professional-grade tools, not hardware-store gear, and we explain what each one does while we work. If your system uses Honeywell media filters or Aprilaire whole-house units, we carry the correct replacements and install them to manufacturer spec.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Glenvar Heights Homes
- Post-outage insulation blowback: After a summer thunderstorm knocks out power, the AC restart back-pressures attic duct runs and shoves loose-fill insulation through the supply vents. Homeowners call us thinking their AC is broken; the real problem is debris in the ducts that needs source removal, not a refrigerant charge.
- Sagging flex duct from 1950s-70s installs: Original flex runs in Glenvar Heights ranches sag between supports, collect condensation in the low spots, and tear where they rub against truss nails. We find this on camera in roughly half the older homes we inspect.
- Rural dust loading from unpaved roads: Properties off SW 72nd Street and similar rural pockets see duct systems choke with road dust and pollen on a 2- to 3-year cycle, not the standard 5-year interval. The standard recommendation leaves them severely restricted.
- Wood-heat ash and soot in mixed-use systems: Homeowners who run wood stoves in winter and AC year-round end up with sticky ash residue coating the inside of flex runs. A shop vac won’t touch it; it takes mechanical agitation under negative pressure to break it loose and extract it.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Glenvar Heights
Every 2 to 3 years, not the standard 5. The combination of road dust, open-land pollen, and wood-heat ash loads ducts faster here than in paved suburban developments. We set that interval after inspecting your system and measuring the actual debris load, not from a calendar guess. Call (361) 326-5060 to schedule an inspection and we’ll tell you where your system stands.
The blower motor restart after a blackout creates a brief back-pressure surge that shoves loose-fill attic insulation and dust past the filter and into your branch runs. It’s a pattern we see repeatedly in Glenvar Heights’s older ranch homes with attic ductwork. The fix is source removal with negative-air extraction and agitation tools, not a filter change. We document the contamination on camera before we clean so you see exactly what moved into your ducts.
Yes. We clean and repair ductwork in detached workshops, barn offices, and guest houses with independent systems or tied to the main house. The same pricing structure applies: one flat price per system, written before we start. Outbuilding systems in Glenvar Heights often show the same rural dust loading and wood-heat residue as the main house, and we inspect them with the same camera and agitation process.
We seal all registers, attach a negative-air machine to create suction through the entire system, then use rotary brushes and compressed air whips to knock debris loose from the duct walls and pull it into our HEPA-filtered collection unit. For older ranches, we pay special attention to sagging flex runs and torn plenum connections that we find on camera. The job takes 3 to 5 hours for a typical home, and we show you before-and-after footage of your own ducts.
We can usually repair during the same visit if we find damage during the pre-cleaning camera inspection. We carry mastic, collars, and replacement flex runs on our trucks. If the repair is extensive, we’ll show you the footage, quote the repair in writing, and complete it before we seal the system back up. No second trip needed in most cases. Call (361) 326-5060 and we’ll schedule enough time to handle both.
