North Palm Beach sits on a barrier island where salt-laden ocean air works on ductwork differently than anywhere on the mainland. We know the village’s building codes, the 1950s – 70s housing stock with original galvanized and early flex duct, and the specific corrosion patterns that show up east of the Intracoastal Waterway. Our technicians arrive uniformed, background-checked, and equipped with Rotobrush rotary systems and Nikro negative-air machines, the same tools commercial crews use. We price every job in writing before we touch anything, and every repair is covered by our 365-Day Done Right Promise.
Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is North Palm Beach’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
We’ve built our reputation in North Palm Beach on showing up when we said we would and leaving the site clean. The Garrison Standard requires it: arrive inside the quoted window, price in writing, complete the job by the book. Roy Castellanos, who leads Hollis Air Duct Cleaning, insists on this discipline because he’s seen what happens when crews cut corners in coastal environments.
Our North Palm Beach customers tell us the same things after we finish: the musty odor is gone, the airflow improved, and the price matched what we wrote down. We don’t compete on teaser coupons or per-vent pricing that balloons at the door. We compete on one flat price per system, agreed before work starts, backed by a full year of coverage. If the work fails within 365 days, we return and make it right at no charge, including a free second visit.
Phones are answered by a live person 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. No voicemail loops, no callback queues, no waiting until Monday to schedule. Dispatch and scheduling are coordinated from our Miami office, and crews serve North Palm Beach locally with the parts and equipment to finish most jobs in a single visit.
Air Duct Cleaning Services in North Palm Beach
Air Duct Cleaning Services in North Palm Beach involve source removal of accumulated debris, microbial growth, and corrosion byproducts from your supply and return duct runs, using negative-air machines that create suction at the trunk line while rotary brushes or compressed air tools dislodge material inside. In North Palm Beach’s salt-air environment, this isn’t primarily about dust; it’s about removing the corrosion particles and organic material that harbor moisture and restrict airflow. A typical residential full-system cleaning runs $350 – $650, with larger homes or systems with heavy buildup toward the higher end.
Residential Duct Cleaning
We clean the complete duct network in your home: supply registers, return grilles, trunk lines, and the plenum connections at your air handler. In North Palm Beach’s 1960s-era ranches and two-story homes, we often find original galvanized steel with pinhole leaks and early flex duct that has degraded from decades of humidity cycling. Our technicians inspect first, then select tools that won’t breach already-thinned metal.
Commercial Duct Cleaning
Office buildings, retail spaces, and multi-unit properties in North Palm Beach face the same salt-air corrosion accelerated by constant HVAC operation. Commercial systems typically run $800 – $1,800 depending on square footage and duct complexity. We schedule around your operations and provide before-and-after documentation for property managers and compliance records.

HVAC Duct Cleaning in North Palm Beach
HVAC Duct Cleaning in North Palm Beach targets the entire forced-air system, not just the visible registers, because the real problems hide in trunk lines and plenum boxes where humidity and salt aerosol concentrate. We use video inspection to document conditions before we start, then apply negative-air extraction with HEPA filtration so dislodged debris leaves your home entirely rather than resettling in your living space. Most residential HVAC duct cleaning in North Palm Beach falls between $350 – $650 for a complete system.
Video Inspection and Documentation
We feed a camera through your duct runs before and after cleaning. In North Palm Beach, this often reveals the white zinc-oxide corrosion characteristic of salt-air exposure, plus mold growth near the air handler where condensation never fully dries. You see what we see. No guesswork, no upsell based on scare tactics.
Full System Cleaning with HEPA Containment
Our Nikro negative-air machines create suction at 2,000 – 3,500 CFM, pulling dislodged material through HEPA filters rated at 99.97% efficiency at 0.3 microns. This matters in North Palm Beach because disturbed mold spores and corrosion particles are small enough to pass through standard filters. We contain them at the source, not your breathing air.
Trusted Brands We Service in North Palm Beach
We maintain equipment from Rotobrush, Nikro, and Abatement Technologies on every truck serving North Palm Beach, and we stock filtration products from Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Guardsman for replacement during service calls. This means when we find a corroded flex section or failed filter housing in a home off Prosperity Farms Road or along US-1, we can often complete the repair same-day without ordering parts. Our rotary brush systems from Rotobrush are specifically selected for their adjustable torque, which lets us clean fragile galvanized duct in older North Palm Beach homes without stripping the remaining protective coating. We don’t show up with hardware-store vacuums and call it duct cleaning.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in North Palm Beach Homes
- Zinc-oxide corrosion on galvanized ducts east of the Intracoastal. The white, powdery coating we find in attics near Juno Beach and along Ocean Drive isn’t dust. It’s salt-air corrosion that thins steel and creates pinhole leaks. Standard brushing strips the remaining zinc layer and makes it worse.
- Mold growth in supply plenums and trunk lines. North Palm Beach’s year-round humidity means ducts rarely dry out completely. Combined with salt-corrosion particles that hold moisture, microbial colonies establish quickly and produce the musty odors homeowners notice first.
- Degraded early flex duct in 1950s – 70s homes. The original flex installations in neighborhoods like Golfview and around North Palm Beach Country Club have become brittle from thermal cycling and humidity. Aggressive cleaning tools shred them.
- Restricted airflow from accumulated corrosion debris. As galvanized ducts corrode internally, flakes and powder accumulate at elbows and transitions. This raises static pressure, makes your blower work harder, and shows up as rising electric bills before you ever smell a problem.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in North Palm Beach
Barrier island humidity and salt aerosol create conditions mainland ducts rarely face. Salt particles hold moisture against duct surfaces, and year-round air conditioning means the system rarely gets a drying cycle. In North Palm Beach, we find active mold in supply plenums where condensation collects, not just return ducts where you’d expect household moisture. Call (361) 326-5060 for an inspection if you smell mustiness.
It’s zinc-oxide corrosion, a direct result of salt-air exposure on galvanized steel. East of the Intracoastal Waterway, we see this routinely in attics and crawl spaces; mainland ducts rarely exhibit it. The powder itself is a warning sign that the protective zinc layer is degrading, and the steel beneath is thinning toward pinhole leaks. We assess whether cleaning can preserve the remaining duct or if replacement sections are needed. Call (361) 326-5060 and we’ll show you on camera.
No. Fogging deposits chemical on surfaces but does not remove the source material: corrosion debris, dust, and organic buildup that microbes feed on. Without source removal via negative-air extraction and agitation, the food source remains, and odors return within weeks. We don’t sell fogging as a stand-alone service because it doesn’t solve the problem North Palm Beach homeowners call us about. Call (361) 326-5060 for cleaning that removes the source.
Yes, with the right tools and inspection first. We use Rotobrush systems with adjustable torque and soft-bristle configurations, combined with controlled negative-air suction, to dislodge debris without stripping remaining zinc coating. We camera-inspect before selecting tools because some galvanized runs in North Palm Beach’s older homes are too thin for any mechanical agitation and need replacement instead. Call (361) 326-5060 and we’ll assess your specific system.
Every 3 – 5 years for most homes, but every 2 – 3 years if you’re east of the Intracoastal Waterway where salt corrosion accelerates debris accumulation. Homes with original galvanized duct, visible mold history, or residents with respiratory sensitivities should inspect annually. We don’t push unnecessary cleaning; we document conditions with video and recommend based on what we find. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free inspection and honest assessment.
