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 Palm Harbor
Air duct cleaning in Palm Harbor typically runs $350 – $650 for a whole-home system, and most jobs are scheduled within a few business days. If your home was built between the 1970s and 1990s and the ducts have never been opened, you’re probably looking at the higher end. That accumulation doesn’t leave on its own.
We serve Palm Harbor from our South Florida dispatch office, with crews that know the difference between a Crystal Beach ranch and a Tarpon Woods two-story. You can reach us at (361) 326-5060. Calls are answered by a live person, any hour.
Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Palm Harbor’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
Hollis has been part of the Garrison Partners family since 2004. That’s a track record that predates most of the duct-cleaning outfits advertising in Pinellas County right now. Our Air Duct Cleaning team follows The Garrison Standard on every Palm Harbor job: arrive inside the quoted window, price the work in writing before touching anything, finish by the book, and leave the site clean.
Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed. You know who’s walking into your home before they arrive. The price we write down is the price you pay. No add-ons at the door, no per-vent upcharges, no bait-and-switch. 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.
We understand Palm Harbor’s housing stock because we’ve worked in it. The concrete-block ranches off Alt 19, the stucco two-stories in Highland Lakes, the original flex duct baking in attics since the Reagan administration. That local knowledge changes what we find and how we fix it.
Air Duct Cleaning Services in Palm Harbor
Air Duct Cleaning Services in Palm Harbor involve more than running a brush through your trunk lines. Because of our Gulf Coast humidity and frequent storm exposure, a proper job here means source removal plus moisture control and antimicrobial treatment. We use Rotobrush rotary brush systems for mechanical agitation and Nikro negative-air machines to maintain suction and prevent debris from escaping into your living space. The goal is air you can actually measure as cleaner, not just air that smells better for a week.
Most Palm Harbor homeowners schedule this service when they notice musty odors, visible dust at registers, or increased allergy symptoms. After a tropical storm or hurricane, we also get calls about water intrusion or elevated humidity in duct systems. A typical residential cleaning in Palm Harbor runs $350 – $550 for a single-system home; larger homes or systems that need antimicrobial fogging and drying can reach $650.
Residential Duct Cleaning
We clean supply ducts, return ducts, and trunk lines in Palm Harbor homes, using camera inspection to verify the condition of hidden runs. On 1970s – 1990s houses, we often find disconnected flex at the plenum or crushed runs behind the air handler. We flag these in real time and give you a written price to repair before proceeding.
Commercial Duct Cleaning
Palm Harbor’s small businesses, medical offices, and retail spaces need scheduled duct maintenance to meet indoor air standards. We scale our equipment to the building size and schedule around your hours to minimize disruption.

HVAC Duct Cleaning in Palm Harbor
HVAC Duct Cleaning in Palm Harbor addresses the full mechanical system, not just the visible registers. Your air handler, blower, and coil are part of the same airflow loop. If we clean the ducts but leave a contaminated coil or a blower caked with dust, the debris recirculates immediately. We inspect these components and include cleaning where needed, priced separately and in writing.
Palm Harbor’s constant AC runtime, driven by our heat and humidity, means blowers and coils work harder and get dirtier faster than in cooler climates. Salt air near the coast also accelerates corrosion on metal components. A full HVAC duct cleaning here typically runs $450 – $650, depending on system accessibility and whether the coil and blower require service.
Video Inspection
We feed a camera through your ductwork before and after cleaning. You see what we see: crushed flex, standing water, mold growth, or disconnected runs. This removes guesswork and gives you a baseline for future maintenance decisions.
Duct Sealing with Mastic
Cleaning reveals leaks. We seal accessible joints with mastic, a flexible compound that outlasts tape in humid attics. Sealing often improves system efficiency more than cleaning alone, especially on original Palm Harbor ductwork that’s never been properly sealed.
Trusted Brands We Service in Palm Harbor
We carry professional-grade equipment and filtration products from Nikro, Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Abatement Technologies. These are the same brands commercial crews use, not hardware-store gear. For Palm Harbor customers, this means we can source replacement components and filtration upgrades without long lead times. If your system needs a media filter upgrade or a UV light installation after cleaning, we stock the parts and install them during the same visit when possible.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Palm Harbor Homes
- Storm-driven moisture in duct systems. After a hurricane or tropical storm, Palm Harbor homes frequently take on water through soffit vents or compromised roof seals. Ducts that look clean can harbor standing water or elevated humidity that supports mold growth. We dry and fog these systems with antimicrobial treatment, not just vacuum them.
- Crushed or disconnected flex duct in attics. On 1970s – 1990s concrete-block and stucco homes, original flex runs often collapse at joists or tear at plenum connections. We find these with camera inspection and replace them with properly supported new flex, sealed with mastic.
- Salt-air degradation of registers and duct jackets. Coastal Palm Harbor homes experience faster corrosion of metal registers and breakdown of flex duct outer jackets. Cleaning alone won’t fix this; we identify degraded components and give you a written price for replacement.
- Decades of accumulation in never-cleaned systems. Many Palm Harbor homes have had the same occupants for 20-plus years with no duct service. The debris layer in these systems can be substantial, requiring extended agitation and multiple vacuum passes to reach bare duct walls.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Palm Harbor
Yes. Storm-driven moisture frequently enters Palm Harbor duct systems through compromised attic vents or roof seals, creating conditions for mold and mildew that dry-climate cities never experience. We dry the system and apply antimicrobial fogging after any water intrusion event. Call (361) 326-5060 for an inspection if you suspect moisture in your ducts after a storm.
The musty smell usually means moisture or biological growth remains in the system. In Palm Harbor’s humid climate, a standard brush-and-vacuum pass often isn’t enough. We use camera inspection to locate standing water or mold, then dry and fog the system. If the flex duct itself is degraded, replacement may be necessary.
A NADCA-standard cleaning includes mechanical agitation of all supply and return ducts, negative-air containment to prevent debris escape, and cleaning of registers, grilles, and trunk lines. For Palm Harbor, we add moisture assessment and antimicrobial treatment when indicated by our pre-cleaning inspection. You’ll receive before-and-after photos of your own ducts.
Every 3 – 5 years for homes with standard occupancy and no pets. However, Palm Harbor’s original flex duct systems often need more frequent inspection because of salt-air degradation, humidity-driven biological growth, and the age of the materials. If your system has never been cleaned, schedule an inspection to establish a baseline condition.
Constant AC runtime often indicates duct leakage, poor insulation, or an undersized system, not just dirty ducts. During our cleaning service, we inspect for disconnected runs, crushed flex, and leaks at the plenum. Sealing these with mastic frequently reduces runtime more than cleaning alone. We’ll show you what we find and give you a written price for any repairs.
