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.

If your home has multiple HVAC zones, you’re probably in one of the master-planned communities we know well.

Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Lake Mary’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
We’ve been cleaning ducts in Central Florida since 2004, and Lake Mary has been part of our route for years. The Garrison Standard means we arrive inside the quoted window, put the price in writing before touching anything, and leave the site clean. Our Air Duct Cleaning team is background-checked and uniformed, and our phones are answered by a live person 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
What sets us apart in Lake Mary specifically is our experience with the area’s housing stock. We know the difference between a 1960s ranch near Country Club Road with original galvanized ductwork and a 2019 Heathrow build with three zones of flex duct running through a 140-degree attic. That local knowledge changes how we approach the job, what equipment we bring, and what we find when we open the access panels.
Every job carries 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. No negotiation, no runaround.
Residential Air Duct Cleaning in Lake Mary
Residential Air Duct Cleaning in Lake Mary means pulling debris from the full network of supply and return ducts that move conditioned air through your home, then documenting what we found and what we did about it. In this market, that usually means addressing the specific problems that Florida humidity and local building practices create: mold in flex ducts, dust mite accumulation in returns, and airflow restrictions from poorly supported attic runs.
A typical single-system residential job in Lake Mary runs $350 – $550. Homes with two systems usually fall in the $550 – $850 range, and three-system properties common in Heathrow and Timacuan go from $850 – $1,200. We price per system, not per vent, because that’s the only honest way to quote a job before we see what’s actually in your attic.
Supply and Return Duct Cleaning
Supply ducts push cooled air into your rooms; return ducts pull it back to the air handler. Both sides need attention, but they collect different contaminants. In Lake Mary’s humid climate, return ducts near the floor often harbor dust mites and pet dander, while supply runs in hot attics grow mold on the interior surface. We clean both with rotary brush agitation and negative-air containment, then show you the before-and-after photos.
Video Inspection and Documentation
Because you can’t see inside your ducts, we document everything. Our camera inspection records the condition of the duct interior before we start, identifies kinked flex runs or disconnected joints, and verifies the cleaning afterward. You get the footage and a written summary. In Lake Mary’s multi-zone homes, this documentation is especially valuable for tracking which attic runs serve which rooms.
Commercial Air Duct Cleaning in Lake Mary
Commercial Air Duct Cleaning in Lake Mary covers office buildings, medical suites, retail spaces, and multi-tenant properties along International Parkway and near the Lake Mary business corridor. These systems run harder and longer than residential units, often with rooftop package units and extensive horizontal duct runs that accumulate construction dust, paper fibers, and microbial growth.
Commercial pricing in Lake Mary starts around $800 for small office suites and ranges up to $1,800 for larger properties with multiple rooftop units. We price by system count and linear footage of ductwork, with the full scope written down before work begins. No per-vent gimmicks, no add-ons after the crew arrives.
NADCA-Compliant Cleaning Protocols
Commercial properties often need documentation for insurance, property management, or tenant health concerns. Our work follows NADCA standards: contained negative-air extraction, mechanical agitation of duct surfaces, and protection of occupied spaces during cleaning. We provide a written completion report with photos, which many Lake Mary property managers need for their files.
Minimizing Business Disruption
We schedule commercial jobs around your operations, including evenings and weekends. Our crew works contained sections so you don’t have to shut down the whole building. For medical and professional offices near Lake Mary Boulevard, we coordinate arrival times to avoid patient or client hours.
Trusted Brands We Service in Lake Mary
We carry professional-grade equipment from Rotobrush and Nikro, and we stock filtration products from Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Abatement Technologies. For Lake Mary homeowners, that means we can replace a failed media filter or upgrade to a higher-MERV rating on the same visit, without waiting for parts to ship. Our techs carry common filter sizes and can source less common ones quickly through our Miami office. If your Heathrow home needs a specific Aprilaire media cabinet or your downtown Lake Mary ranch needs a Honeywell electronic air cleaner serviced, we handle it without sending you to a supply house.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Lake Mary Homes
- Sagging flex duct in Heathrow attics. Builders ran R-8 insulated flex through unconditioned attics, and after a few Central Florida summers the supports fail and the duct kinks. Airflow drops. Rooms don’t cool evenly. Homeowners blame the HVAC unit, but the problem is in the attic duct layout.
- Mold growth on attic duct exteriors and interiors. Lake Mary’s humidity and near-year-round cooling create condensation on cold duct surfaces in hot attics. Surface cleaning alone doesn’t solve it; we sanitize and recommend moisture control strategies specific to your home’s construction.
- Leaky rigid metal ductwork in older downtown homes. Original 1950s-70s galvanized ducts near Lake Mary Boulevard and Country Club Road leak at every joint and seam, pulling attic dust into the system. Sealing with mastic during cleaning cuts particle infiltration significantly.
- Undersized returns in multi-zone additions. When Lake Mary homeowners added bonus rooms or expanded master suites, the original return ducting often wasn’t upsized. The system runs longer, humidity stays higher, and the ducts accumulate more debris between cleanings.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Lake Mary
We price per system, not per vent, because each system has its own air handler, duct network, and access requirements. A three-system Heathrow home typically runs $850 – $1,200, with the exact figure written down before we start. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate on your specific layout.
Sometimes, but not always. If the problem is a kinked or sagging flex duct in the attic, cleaning with re-supporting and re-routing often restores airflow. If the duct is properly sized and clear, the issue may be insulation or system capacity. We use camera inspection to find out before we quote any corrective work.
NADCA-compliant work means contained negative-air extraction so debris doesn’t enter your living space, mechanical agitation of all duct surfaces, protection of furnishings and HVAC components, and written documentation of completion. Cheap coupons often skip containment, skip the return side, or charge extra for every vent beyond a low base count.
Lake Mary’s combination of high humidity, hot attics, and near-constant cooling creates condensation on duct surfaces that cooler, drier climates don’t produce. The mold species are common, but the conditions that grow them are persistent here. Cleaning without addressing moisture control usually means the mold returns within a season.
Every three to five years for most homes, but more frequently if you have multiple pets, recent construction, or occupants with allergies. In Lake Mary’s humid climate, homes with flex duct in hot attics may need inspection every two years to catch sagging and mold early. Call (361) 326-5060 to schedule a look.
