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 Ocala
Air duct cleaning in Ocala typically runs $350 – $650 for a whole-house residential system, with most jobs completed in a single morning or afternoon.

We dispatch crews from our Miami office and serve Ocala directly, with scheduling coordinated so you’re not waiting weeks for an opening. Our technicians know the difference between a ranch house off East Silver Springs Boulevard and a manufactured home in one of the 55+ communities south of town, and they bring the right equipment for each.

Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Ocala’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
Ocala homeowners have been burned by bait-and-switch pricing before. A low quote over the phone, then a technician arrives and suddenly you’re looking at per-vent add-ons, “required” sanitizing, and a bill that doubled. That doesn’t happen here.
Our Air Duct Cleaning team works under The Garrison Standard, which means we put the full price in writing before touching your system. No surprises, no upsells, no pressure. If the work isn’t done right, our 365-Day Done Right Promise covers a free return visit to make it right.
Technicians arrive background-checked, uniformed, and equipped with Rotobrush rotary brush systems and Nikro negative-air machines, the same tools commercial crews use in hospitals and schools. Calls are answered by a live person, 24 hours a day, not a voicemail loop.
We know Ocala’s housing stock, the humidity that hits attics hard, and the pollen load that comes with horse country. That local knowledge means we diagnose faster, quote accurately, and don’t waste your time with guesses.
Air Duct Cleaning Services in Ocala
Air Duct Cleaning Services in Ocala cover the complete removal of dust, debris, mold, and microbial buildup from your home’s ductwork, registers, and air handler. A typical residential whole-system cleaning in Ocala runs $350 – $550, with larger homes or systems with significant contamination reaching $650. We recommend cleaning every 3 – 5 years, sooner if you have pets, allergies, or a system that hasn’t been touched since the house was built.
Residential Duct Cleaning
Most Ocala homes we serve fall into two categories: older ranch-style block homes in neighborhoods like Woodfields, with original galvanized ductwork from the 1970s or 1980s, and manufactured homes in 55+ communities where flex duct has sagged, torn, or never been cleaned. Our residential crews use rotary brush systems to scrub duct walls while negative-air machines pull loosened debris out of your home entirely, not just redistribute it.
Commercial Duct Cleaning
Commercial systems in Ocala’s medical offices, retail spaces, and equestrian facility support buildings face heavier use and stricter air quality expectations. We scale equipment to the job, from single rooftop units to multi-zone systems, and schedule around your hours so you’re not losing business.

HVAC Duct Cleaning in Ocala
HVAC Duct Cleaning in Ocala addresses the full heating, ventilation, and air conditioning pathway, not just the visible vents. Because Ocala’s humid subtropical climate keeps systems running nearly year-round, condensation builds inside ductwork, especially in attic systems that regularly exceed 130°F in July and August. That moisture, combined with pollen from surrounding horse farms and oak trees, creates ideal conditions for mold and microbial growth. A typical HVAC duct cleaning in Ocala runs $400 – $650 for a complete system including supply and return lines, air handler, and registers.
Supply and Return Line Cleaning
Supply ducts push conditioned air into your rooms; return ducts pull it back to the air handler. Both sides need attention, but the return side typically carries more debris because it’s the intake point. We clean both simultaneously so you’re not left with a partially clean system that recontaminates itself in weeks.
Video Inspection and Documentation
Before we start, we run a camera through your ducts so you see what we see. Afterward, we show you the difference. Ocala homeowners in older neighborhoods are often shocked by decades of buildup, and the before-and-after footage confirms the work was real, not theoretical.
Trusted Brands We Service in Ocala
Our equipment roster includes Rotobrush rotary brush systems for mechanical scrubbing, Nikro negative-air machines for debris containment and extraction, and filtration products from Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Guardsman. We don’t use hardware-store shop vacs or consumer-grade tools. For Ocala customers, this means we can source replacement components and filtration upgrades without waiting on national shipping delays. If your system needs a media filter upgrade after cleaning, we stock the common sizes and configurations that fit Ocala’s typical residential HVAC setups, including the 4-inch and 5-inch media cabinets common in homes built during the 1980s and 1990s.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Ocala Homes
- Mold at registers in pre-1990 homes. Ocala’s established neighborhoods like Woodfields and the Historic District are full of ranch-style block homes with original galvanized ductwork that has never been cleaned. Decades of humidity and inadequate filtration leave visible mold at ceiling and floor registers, especially in bathrooms and kitchens where moisture concentrates.
- Flex duct collapse in manufactured homes. The 55+ communities on Ocala’s southern edge, including On Top of the World, often have original flex duct running under the home. After thirty-plus years, this ductwork sags, tears at seams, and fills with dust mites. Cleaning reveals damage that homeowners didn’t know existed, and we flag it so you can address it before energy bills spike further.
- Equine dander in rural properties east of I-75. Horse farm properties in Marion County face a unique contamination source: fine equine dander and hay particles that bypass standard fiberglass filters and accumulate in ductwork. Standard cleaning isn’t enough; these jobs require HEPA vacuuming and proper sanitizing to remove the allergen load.
- Attic system baking and condensation damage. Ocala’s summer attic temperatures regularly exceed 130°F, and daily thunderstorms spike humidity. Ductwork in these conditions sweats, insulation degrades, and mold establishes inside the ducts. We see this constantly in homes with attic-mounted air handlers, particularly in neighborhoods built before duct insulation standards improved in the 1990s.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Ocala, FL
Whole-house residential air duct cleaning in Ocala typically costs $350 – $550, with larger homes or heavily contaminated systems reaching $650. Commercial systems start around $800 and scale with square footage and system complexity. Dryer vent cleaning, which we often pair with duct cleaning, runs $120 – $180 as a standalone service or $75 – $125 when bundled.
What moves the price: number of supply and return vents, system accessibility (attic vs. crawl space vs. closet), contamination level, and whether we find mold requiring sanitizing. We inspect first, quote in writing, and that number doesn’t change when the technician arrives.
We do not quote per-vent pricing. That model invites bait-and-switch tactics, and we don’t play that game. One flat price per system, agreed before work starts, with no add-ons at the door.

We provide a free, written estimate before scheduling, and that price does not change at the door. Call (361) 326-5060 to arrange an inspection.

We video-inspect your ducts before and after cleaning, and we show you the footage. Ocala’s older homes often have dramatic buildup, and the visual difference is unmistakable. You’ll also feel the difference in airflow at registers and smell cleaner air within 24 hours of the job.
Every 3 – 5 years for most Ocala homes, sooner if you have pets, allergies, or live near horse farms where dander and pollen loads are higher. Homes in 55+ communities with original ductwork that has never been cleaned should start with an inspection, decades of buildup doesn’t improve with waiting.
Yes, we also handle Duct Sealing in Ocala. After cleaning, many homeowners choose to seal leaks with mastic and proper tape, which cuts energy waste and prevents recontamination. We can inspect for leaks during your cleaning estimate and quote sealing as a separate, optional service with the same written pricing guarantee.
