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 Lady Lake
Air duct cleaning in Lady Lake typically runs $350 – $650 for a full residential system and $800 – $2,400 for commercial jobs, with most homes completed in a single visit. Hollis Air Duct Cleaning dispatches crews to Lady Lake from our Miami coordination office, and we’ve been routing teams through Lake County long enough to know the difference between a Village flex-duct home off County Road 466 and a ranch property on limerock backroads near Lake Griffin. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate.
Our Air Duct Cleaning crews know Lady Lake’s split personality: the planned retirement communities with their 1990s-era ductwork, and the rural properties where wood heat and unpaved roads throw a completely different kind of dirt into the system. That local knowledge changes what equipment we load, how we set up containment, and what we tell you to expect when we open the registers.
Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Lady Lake’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
Hollis Air Duct Cleaning has been part of the Garrison Partners family since 2004, and our crews have handled enough Lady Lake jobs to recognize the musty flex-duct smell that hits snowbirds when they return to The Villages after a summer away. We don’t guess at what’s in your ducts. We run a camera first, show you the footage, and write the price down before any tool touches metal.
Lady Lake homeowners get the same standard we apply everywhere: arrive inside the quoted window, price in writing, complete the job by the book, and leave the site clean. That’s The Garrison Standard. Our 365-Day Done Right Promise covers every job in writing. If the work fails within a year, we come back and make it right at no charge, including a free second visit. No negotiation, no runaround.
Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed. You know who’s walking into your home before they arrive. And when you call (361) 326-5060, a live person answers, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. No voicemail loops, no callback queues, no waiting until Monday for a Lady Lake appointment.
Commercial Air Duct Cleaning in Lady Lake
Commercial Air Duct Cleaning in Lady Lake covers retail spaces, medical offices, restaurants, and the smaller commercial strips along US-27 and County Road 466 that serve The Villages and surrounding communities. These systems run harder and longer than residential units, often with rooftop package units and exposed flex duct in ceiling plenums that collect grease, pollen, and construction dust from ongoing area development. A typical commercial duct cleaning in Lady Lake runs $800 – $2,400 depending on system size, access difficulty, and contamination level. We inspect first, quote in writing, and clean to NADCA standards using negative-air machines from Nikro and rotary brush systems from Rotobrush.
Restaurant and Kitchen Exhaust Systems
Lady Lake restaurants near the commercial corridors serving The Villages face grease loading in makeup air ducts that standard residential tools can’t touch. We deploy heated pressure washing and chemical degreasing on hood and duct systems, with full documentation for fire marshal inspections.
Medical and Dental Office Air Systems
Medical practices in Lady Lake require HEPA-contained cleaning with verified post-job particle counts. Our crews use Abatement Technologies negative-air machines with HEPA filtration, seal registers during work, and provide written certification for compliance files.
Air Duct Cleaning Services in Lady Lake
Air Duct Cleaning Services in Lady Lake address the specific failure modes this market produces: mold in snowbird flex ducts, limerock grit in rural returns, and ash loading from wood heat in properties off County Road 25 and near Lake Griffin. A typical full residential system cleaning in Lady Lake runs $350 – $650, with video inspection, register removal, trunk line cleaning, and blower wheel service included. We don’t price per vent. One flat price per system, agreed before work starts.
Video Inspection and Source Removal
We feed a camera through your Lady Lake ductwork before we quote and after we finish. You see what we see. No guesswork, no “trust us” language. The before-and-after footage belongs to you, and it proves the work happened.
Supply and Return Duct Cleaning
Supply ducts push conditioned air into your rooms; returns pull it back. In Lady Lake’s humid climate, returns near floor level often load heaviest with dust and pet dander. We clean both sides of the loop, plus the trunk lines that connect them, because cleaning half the system just moves dirt to the other half.

Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Lady Lake Homes
- Limerock grit in rural returns. Properties off County Road 25 and near Lake Griffin pull fine mineral dust from unpaved drives and open pasture. This grit is abrasive. It wears flex duct liners faster than organic household dust, and it doesn’t respond to standard vacuum methods without proper agitation and negative-air containment.
- Mold in snowbird flex ducts. Homes in The Villages left closed for six or more months with the A/C off become mold incubators. The first cooling cycle after return blows spores and musty odor through every register. A quick surface vacuum without source removal just stirs the contamination.
- Ash and creosote in wood-heat systems. Rural Lady Lake properties heating with wood stoves or fireplaces often have return ducts coated in fine gray ash. The blower wheel packs solid with this material, reducing airflow and circulating smoke odor every time the air handler cycles.
- Skipped outbuilding air handlers. Shop and barn HVAC units on rural properties create a separate dust and lint pathway that re-contaminates the main house system if ignored. We clean these as part of a complete property assessment, not as an afterthought.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Lady Lake, FL
Here’s what air duct cleaning costs in the Lady Lake market, based on the jobs we’ve actually completed:
| Service | Typical Range |
|---|---|
| Residential full system cleaning (single system) | $350 – $650 |
| Residential with multiple systems or outbuilding unit | $550 – $950 |

| Video inspection only | $125 – $195 |
| Dryer vent cleaning (add-on or standalone) | $125 – $225 |
What moves the price: system accessibility (crawl space vs. attic), contamination level (light dust vs. mold remediation prep), number of registers and branch lines, and whether we need to pull and clean the blower assembly separately. We inspect first, quote in writing, and that number doesn’t change at the door. No per-vent add-ons, no “we found a surprise” upsells. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Lady Lake
Every 2 – 3 years, not the 5 – 7 years typical for Village homes. Limerock grit from unpaved roads and ash from wood heat load ducts faster than standard household dust, and the abrasive nature of mineral dust accelerates flex duct liner degradation. Call (361) 326-5060 and we’ll inspect your system and tell you where it stands.
Closed homes with the A/C off create a humid, stagnant environment where mold colonizes flex duct interiors. The first cooling cycle aerosolizes those spores and pushes them through every register. Source removal cleaning with HEPA-contained negative air, not a surface vacuum, is what actually clears the contamination. We see this every fall in Lady Lake.
Yes, and we recommend it. Shop units on rural properties often run independently but share air pathways with the main house system, or they create a separate dust source that re-contaminates cleaned ducts. We assess the full property, quote each system separately, and clean what needs cleaning. No blanket packages.
Source removal: negative-air machines create vacuum pressure throughout the system while rotary brushes or compressed air whips dislodge debris from duct walls. For Lady Lake flex ducts, we reduce brush aggression to avoid tearing the liner, and we verify no kinks or sags were worsened by the process. Camera inspection before and after documents the result.
Yes. We handle retail, restaurant, medical, and office systems in Lady Lake and throughout Lake County. Commercial jobs require larger negative-air equipment, containment barriers for occupied spaces, and often after-hours scheduling. We quote commercial work on-site, in writing, with no obligation. Call (361) 326-5060 to arrange a walkthrough.
