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.
Fast, Reliable Air Duct Cleaning Across Boca Raton
Air duct cleaning in Boca Raton typically runs $350 – $650 for a full residential system, with most jobs completed in a single visit. We’re Hollis Air Duct Cleaning, and our Air Duct Cleaning in Boca Raton crews handle everything from 1970s west Boca villas to downtown high-rises. Dispatch and scheduling are coordinated from our Miami office, but the trucks that roll up your driveway are local to South Florida and know the difference between a golf-course condo off Clint Moore Road and a seasonal unit on the Intracoastal. If your vents smell musty when the A/C kicks on, or certain rooms never get airflow, call (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate.
Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Boca Raton’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
We’ve been in business since 2004 as part of the Garrison Partners family, and our 365-Day Done Right Promise means if the work fails within a year, we come back and make it right at no charge. That includes a free second visit, not a negotiation.
Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed, and they arrive inside the quoted window. The price is written down before any work starts, and it does not move at the door. No estimates that balloon once we’re inside.
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 for a scheduling question.
We know Boca Raton’s housing stock because we’ve worked in it. The original fiberboard trunks in west Boca’s 1980s condos sag and crush behind knee walls. Downtown high-rises have tight mechanical chases where a wrong move damages finished ceilings. That knowledge changes what we bring to the job and how we quote it.
HVAC Duct Cleaning in Boca Raton
HVAC Duct Cleaning in Boca Raton means removing the accumulated dust, debris, and microbial growth from your entire forced-air system, not just wiping the vent covers. In this market, the job usually includes the supply trunk and branches, return ductwork, air handler cabinet, and blower assembly. A typical residential HVAC duct cleaning in Boca Raton runs $350 – $550 for a standard single-system home, with larger estates or multi-zone systems reaching $650 – $850. Condos and townhomes with compact mechanical closets typically fall in the $300 – $450 range.
When Your System Needs It
Call for HVAC duct cleaning when you notice musty odors from vents after the A/C starts, visible dust blowing from registers, or rooms that stay hot despite the thermostat setting. In Boca Raton’s subtropical climate, year-round cooling means ducts never get a seasonal rest. After hurricane-season power outages, stagnant humidity turns ductwork into a breeding ground for mold.
What the Process Covers
Our crew connects a Nikro negative-air machine to your trunk line, creating suction that pulls loosened debris toward the collection unit while preventing contamination of your living space. We use Rotobrush rotary brush systems to agitate buildup inside the ducts, followed by HEPA filtration to capture particles down to 0.3 microns. Every job gets a written price before we start, and we photograph the before condition for your records.
Vent Cleaning in Boca Raton
Vent Cleaning in Boca Raton targets the supply and return registers, grilles, and the short duct runs immediately behind them where dust and cooking grease accumulate fastest. This is the work homeowners can sometimes see and always smell: the dark ring around the ceiling vent, the greasy film on kitchen returns, the bathroom vent that never seems to move air. A standalone vent cleaning in Boca Raton runs $150 – $250 for a full register set, though we typically bundle it with full system cleaning for better value.
Register-Level Buildup
Supply vents in Boca Raton kitchens and bathrooms collect humidity and cooking oils that standard dusting won’t touch. We remove each register, clean the face and blade assembly, and brush the first few feet of duct behind it where the worst accumulation lives. This is where we often find the source of “that smell” when the blower kicks on.
Return Air Pathways
Return vents draw air back to the handler, so they pull in pet hair, pollen, and the fine sand that blows through South Florida during dry spells. Clogged returns force your system to work harder and can starve the blower for air. We clean the grille, the filter rack, and the return plenum to restore proper airflow.
Trusted Brands We Service in Boca Raton
Our Air Duct Cleaning team runs professional-grade equipment from Rotobrush and Nikro, with filtration and air-quality products from Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Abatement Technologies. These are the same tools commercial crews use in hospitals and schools, not hardware-store attachments. We stock common replacement parts and filtration media for Boca Raton customers, so if your cleaning reveals a failed flex duct or a crushed run, we can often repair it same-day instead of scheduling a return trip. Roy Castellanos, who leads Hollis Air Duct Cleaning, specs every truck with the gear to handle both west Boca’s original ductwork and the tight-access systems in newer construction.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Boca Raton Homes
- Crushed or disconnected flex runs in west Boca villas. The original 1970s – 80s flex duct behind knee walls and in attics collapses over decades, cutting airflow to bedrooms and back rooms. Cleaning alone won’t fix it; we camera-inspect, then seal or replace the failed section.
- Mold and musty odors after hurricane-season outages. When power drops for days, humidity saturates stagnant ductwork. We clean under negative pressure with antimicrobial treatment, but the lasting fix is sealing the duct to stop condensation from recurring.
- Tight mechanical chases in downtown and beachside high-rises. Seasonal condos sit closed for months, and the short, insulated duct runs in ceiling soffits trap dust and moisture. We gain access through existing panels and clean without damaging finishes.
- Original fiberboard trunk lines sagging and leaking. Common in west Boca’s golf-course communities, these unlined trunks delaminate and leak conditioned air into attics. We often replace them with R-8 flex duct and proper mastic sealing.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Boca Raton, FL
A typical full residential air duct cleaning in Boca Raton runs $350 – $650, depending on system size, access difficulty, and what we find once we open it up. Condos and townhomes usually land at the lower end; large Mediterranean-style estates with multiple zones or complex attic runs can push toward $850. Commercial duct cleaning for small offices or retail starts around $800 and scales with square footage and HVAC count.
What moves the price: the number of supply and return branches, whether we need to cut access panels in finished ceilings, and if we find crushed or disconnected ductwork that needs repair. We do not quote per-vent pricing, and we do not bait you with a low teaser that jumps at the door. One flat price per system, agreed in writing, before any work starts.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Boca Raton
Stagnant humidity breeds mold and bacteria in ductwork that sits idle for months. In Boca Raton’s subtropical climate, a closed condo without climate control for even a few weeks can develop significant microbial buildup. We clean the supply and return ducts plus the air handler, and we check for condensation points that need sealing so the odor doesn’t return. Call (361) 326-5060 for an exact quote – estimates are free.
Often yes. The original 1970s – 80s flex duct and fiberboard trunk lines in west Boca communities like those off Clint Moore Road sag, crush, and leak conditioned air into attics. Cleaning without sealing just blows money into a leaky system. We camera-inspect first, quote any needed sealing or replacement in writing, and complete it before the final cleaning pass.
We work through existing access panels in mechanical chases and soffits, using compact rotary brush systems and portable negative-air units that fit in service elevators and tight closets. Our technicians are trained to protect finishes and minimize disruption to neighboring units. The scope and price are confirmed before we start, including any ceiling-panel removal and replacement.
Yes, dryer vent cleaning is a standard add-on, and in Boca Raton’s humid climate it’s particularly important. Lint buildup traps moisture, extending dry times and creating fire risk in condos where vents run long vertical distances to roof terminations. We clean the full run from the appliance to the exterior termination and verify airflow with a meter. Ask about bundling with your duct cleaning.
We use Rotobrush rotary brush systems, Nikro negative-air machines, and HEPA filtration from Abatement Technologies, plus air-quality products from Honeywell and Aprilaire where filtration upgrades are part of the scope. These are professional-grade tools, not consumer attachments, and our technicians train on them under The Garrison Standard. Call (361) 326-5060 to discuss what your specific system needs.
