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.

AfterAir Duct Cleaning Company in Tavares, FL
Air duct cleaning in Tavares typically runs $350 – $650 for a whole-home system, with dryer vent cleaning at $120 – $250 and duct sealing at $400 – $900 depending on access and system size. What separates Tavares from inland Florida markets is the combination of year-round humidity off the Harris Chain of Lakes, aging housing stock downtown, and fine sandy soils from former citrus groves that find their way into ductwork. We’re Hollis Air Duct Cleaning, part of the Garrison Partners family, and our crews work these conditions regularly. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free written estimate.
Why Tavares Homes Are Different
Tavares sits as the county seat of Lake County, with its oldest homes clustered near downtown along streets like Main Street and St. Clair Abrams Avenue, many built between the 1910s and 1950s. These bungalows and mid-century block homes often still run original galvanized duct or early flexible duct that traps debris and harbors mold in ways modern systems don’t.
Newer lakefront subdivisions off Dead River and around Lake Dora present the opposite problem: multi-zone HVAC with long duct runs that collect condensation during our nine-month cooling season. Central Florida’s subtropical climate means Tavares ducts are almost constantly cycling moist air, 90°F-plus with high dew points from May through October.
Then there’s the terrain. Homes built on former citrus grove land or near lakefront fill draw in fine gray dust and bits of dried aquatic vegetation after summer storms, a debris pattern our technicians see in returns here but rarely in inland cities. We’ve pulled handfuls of lake-bottom silt from trunk lines in homes near the waterfront.
Our Main Tavares Services
Most Tavares homeowners who call us need one of three jobs. Each has its own page with full details.
Air Duct Cleaning in Tavares
We clean supply and return ducts with a rotary brush system from Rotobrush, agitating debris loose while a negative-air machine from Nikro pulls it out under controlled suction. In Tavares, we pay special attention to biological growth in humid lake-adjacent systems and the sandy buildup that collects in returns on former grove land. Every job gets a written price before we start and before-and-after photos of your own ducts. Air Duct Cleaning in Tavares
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Tavares
Lint accumulation accelerates in humid climates, and Tavares’s year-round moisture means dryers work harder and vents clog faster. We run a rotary brush through the full vent line to the exterior cap, checking back-pressure with a manometer. Homes in older neighborhoods near downtown sometimes have vent runs that no longer meet current code length or material standards; we’ll flag that in writing. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Tavares
Duct Sealing in Tavares
Leaky ducts in Tavares pull attic heat and garage fumes into living spaces, but they also draw in that humid outside air that feeds mold growth. We seal accessible joints and seams with mastic and mesh, then pressure-test the system to verify results. Lakefront homes with complex zone systems often show the biggest improvement in cooling efficiency and indoor humidity control. Duct Sealing in Tavares
