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.

Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Golden Glades’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
We’ve built our reputation in Golden Glades on showing up inside the window, pricing in writing, and leaving the site clean. That sounds basic, but in this trade it’s rare. Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed, and you’ll know who’s arriving before they knock. Our Air Duct Cleaning team carries the same Rotobrush and Nikro equipment commercial crews use, and every job is backed by our 365-Day Done Right Promise. If the work fails within a year, we come back and make it right at no charge, including a free second visit. Phones are answered by a live person 24 hours a day, seven days a week. No voicemail loops. No callback queues.
Golden Glades homeowners have been burned by the same bait-and-switch we see everywhere: a low teaser price that balloons once the technician is inside, or a “whole-house” quote that only covers one air handler while the other two systems stay dirty. We don’t operate that way. The price is written down before we touch anything, and it doesn’t move at the door.
HVAC Duct Cleaning in Golden Glades
HVAC Duct Cleaning in Golden Glades means addressing multiple independent systems in homes built during the 1960s through 1980s, many of which have been retrofitted with two or three separate air handlers where one originally stood. Each system has its own supply trunk, return plenum, and branch lines, so a proper cleaning requires per-system attention, not a single pass through one set of ducts. Most Golden Glades homeowners pay $350 – $650 per complete system, with full-home jobs running $900 – $1,800 when two or three systems are involved. You’ll know you need it when rooms cool unevenly, musty odors persist after filter changes, or your energy bills climb without explanation.
Multi-System Homes Require Per-System Pricing
On a 1970s concrete-block ranch off NW 22nd Avenue near the Golden Glades interchange, our tech found three separate air handlers – two attic units and one garage unit – all using original fiberglass duct board and flex duct. We ran a Rotobrush agitation tool through each branch under negative pressure with HEPA filtration, camera-inspected the return plenum, and documented heavy silt intrusion in the garage system from road spray. The homeowner received a per-system report with before/after photos, and we recommended a MERV 11 filter upgrade on the two attic air handlers. That’s how we work. Each system gets its own scope, its own price, and its own documentation.
Fiberglass Duct Board and Flex Duct Realities
The housing stock around Golden Glades relies heavily on fiberglass duct board and flex duct – materials that trap moisture from year-round AC operation. A quick vacuum without source removal just redistributes mold spores. We use rotary brush agitation to dislodge buildup from duct walls, then extract it under controlled negative pressure so contaminants leave your home entirely.
Vent Cleaning in Golden Glades
Vent Cleaning in Golden Glades targets the supply and return registers you see on walls and ceilings, plus the short duct runs behind them that collect the heaviest debris. This service runs $150 – $300 per system when done as a standalone, or it’s included in our full HVAC Duct Cleaning package. In Golden Glades, vent cleaning is particularly important after storm season, when the Golden Glades interchange area sees a spike in calls because flooding and road spray introduce extra silt and organic matter into outdoor intakes. Power outages from storms leave stagnant, humid air sitting inside ducts for days, making mold remediation an urgent follow-up.
Register Removal and Deep Cleaning
We remove every supply and return register, clean them outside your home, and vacuum the boot and first few feet of duct behind each one. This is where hair, skin cells, and cooking grease accumulate thickest. In Golden Glades homes with original 1960s – 1980s systems, these boots are often fiberglass-lined and can harbor mold if not properly dried and treated.
Video Inspection of Accessible Runs
Where duct geometry allows, we feed a camera through the vent opening to show you what’s inside. Most homeowners are surprised by what we find: compacted dust, mold staining, or in homes near the interchange, fine black particulate from decades of diesel and brake dust infiltration. You see it in real time. We document it for your records.
Trusted Brands We Service in Golden Glades
We clean and service duct systems connected to all major HVAC brands, and we stock filters and components from Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Abatement Technologies for fast turnaround on common Golden Glades systems. Many homes in this area run on original or replacement Carrier, Trane, or Rheem air handlers, and our technicians understand the filter sizing and static-pressure requirements specific to those units. If your system needs a MERV upgrade or a UV light installation to combat the mold pressure from our tropical humidity, we’ll source the right component and install it during the same visit. No waiting on parts from Jacksonville or Tampa.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Golden Glades Homes
- Per-system neglect after “whole-house” quotes. Companies quote a single price then only clean the one air handler they can reach, leaving the supply and return ducts of the second and third systems untouched. We see this constantly in Golden Glades split-levels and ranches with garage and attic units.
- Fiberglass duct board moisture retention. The 1960s – 1980s housing stock here uses fiberglass duct board and flex duct that trap moisture from year-round AC operation. A quick vacuum without source removal just redistributes mold spores instead of eliminating them.
- Interchange-driven silt intrusion. After a major rain event near the Golden Glades interchange, contractors skip the outdoor intake and air handler coil inspection, missing the silt and organic matter that road spray pushed into the system.
- Undocumented work on invisible systems. Because homeowners can’t see inside ducts, some crews do partial work and leave no proof. We provide per-system reports with before/after photos and video where accessible.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Golden Glades, FL
A typical residential HVAC Duct Cleaning in Golden Glades runs $350 – $650 per complete system, including supply and return trunk lines, branch ducts, registers, and video documentation. Most homes here have two or three systems, so full-home jobs range $900 – $1,800. Standalone Vent Cleaning is $150 – $300 per system. Dryer vent cleaning, often scheduled alongside duct work, adds $120 – $200.
What moves the price: number of air handlers (we price per system, not per vent), accessibility (attic vs. garage vs. crawl space), contamination level (heavy mold requires additional HEPA containment and antimicrobial treatment), and whether duct sealing mastic is needed to address leaks we find during cleaning. We do not quote per-vent prices. That model incentivizes cutting corners. We give one flat price per system, agreed in writing before work starts. Estimates are free. Call (361) 326-5060.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Golden Glades
We charge per air handler, because most Golden Glades homes have two or three separate systems and a “whole house” quote would be meaningless. A 1970s ranch near the interchange might have an attic unit, a garage unit, and a later addition with its own handler. Each has independent supply and return ducts. We price each system separately in writing before work starts. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate.
Golden Glades’s tropical monsoon climate keeps interior duct surfaces damp nearly year-round, and the concrete-block homes common here run AC constantly, creating ideal conditions for biological growth. Fiberglass duct board, standard in 1960s – 1980s construction, holds moisture longer than metal. After power outages, stagnant humid air sits in ducts for days. We recommend cleaning every 2 – 3 years and upgrading to MERV 11 filters to slow recurrence.
The decades of heavy truck and commuter traffic through the Golden Glades interchange introduce fine road particulates – diesel soot, brake dust, tire rubber – that infiltrate outdoor air intakes and accumulate in duct systems. After major rain events, road spray drives additional silt and organic matter into garage-located air handlers. Our crews inspect outdoor intakes and coils as standard procedure, not as an upsell.
You receive a per-system written report with before/after photos and, where accessible, video inspection footage. The report notes which air handlers were serviced, what contamination was found, any damage or leaks discovered, and filter recommendations. This documentation matters because you can’t see inside your ducts. It’s proof the work was done, and it’s what we reference if you call us back under our 365-Day Done Right Promise.
Yes, we routinely service multiple systems in a single visit, which is standard for Golden Glades homes with retrofitted additions. Each system gets full rotary brush agitation under negative pressure, register cleaning, and documentation. The visit takes longer – typically 4 – 6 hours for three systems versus 2 – 3 for one – but you pay per system, not per hour, and the price is fixed in writing before we start.
