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 Sunset
Air duct cleaning in Sunset typically runs $350 – $650 for a full residential system and is usually scheduled within a few days of your call. Most homes here need more than dust removal; the subtropical humidity and heavy tree canopy mean biological growth inside ducts is the real problem.
We’ve been sending crews to Sunset from our Miami office since Hollis Air Duct Cleaning joined the Garrison Partners family in 2004. We know the coral rock homes off Sunset Drive, the mid-century ranches with original 1970s ductwork, and the townhomes near the coast where salt air corrodes metal registers. Our technicians arrive uniformed, background-checked, and equipped with Rotobrush rotary systems and Nikro negative-air machines. The price is written before we touch anything.

We understand Sunset’s specific problems: the musty odors that return after standard cleaning, the crushed ducts hidden behind coral rock walls, the roof leaks that send water into returns during summer storms. Our Air Duct Cleaning team doesn’t just vacuum; we inspect with cameras, seal what we find, and treat for mold when the situation calls for it.
Vent Cleaning in Sunset
Vent cleaning in Sunset removes the visible buildup on your supply and return registers, but it’s only one piece of a proper job. In this climate, the grilles themselves often harbor biological growth that a simple wipe won’t touch. We remove each vent, clean it with agitation tools under HEPA filtration, and treat surrounding boot areas before reinstallation. A typical vent cleaning as part of a full system service in Sunset runs $150 – $250 if done standalone, though most homeowners bundle it with full duct cleaning for better value.
Supply Vent Treatment
Supply vents push conditioned air into your rooms. In Sunset, we regularly find these coated with a sticky film that combines dust, humidity, and pollen from the heavy tree canopy. Our techs use rotary brushes to break this loose, then extract it under negative pressure so nothing settles back into your living space.
Return Vent Deep Cleaning
Returns pull air back to the handler, making them the first collection point for debris. Homes near the coast often show corrosion on return registers from salt-laden air. We document this with photos, clean thoroughly, and note any metal fatigue that may need attention during future service.
Air Duct Repair in Sunset
Air Duct Repair in Sunset addresses the disconnected, crushed, and deteriorated runs we find in homes built from the 1960s through the 1980s. Original fiberglass duct board and flex duct have often degraded past cleaning; replacement or reconnection is the only fix that stops musty air from circulating. Repair costs in Sunset typically range from $200 – $500 for single-run fixes, with more extensive reconfigurations running $600 – $1,200 depending on access and materials.
Disconnected Run Reconnection
We find separated ducts behind drywall and in attics more often than you’d expect. The connection tape dries out, the strap fails, and suddenly your system is cooling your attic instead of your bedroom. We reconnect with mechanical fasteners and seal with mastic, not tape that’ll fail again in two years.
Crushed Duct Replacement
Furniture placement, renovation work, and pest activity crush flex duct flat. We recently worked in a 1970s coral rock home off Sunset Drive where the homeowner thought musty odors were just dust; camera inspection revealed a crushed, disconnected return run and water intrusion from a roof leak feeding mold inside the duct. Our techs used agitation tools under negative pressure with HEPA filtration to remove the source, then sealed the damaged run and applied an antimicrobial treatment to the supply and return ducts. The musty smell was gone within a day, and the blower motor amperage dropped, showing the system was finally breathing properly.
Trusted Brands We Service in Sunset
We stock parts and filtration products from Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Guardsman for Sunset customers, which means faster turnaround when your system needs a component replaced during cleaning. Our equipment roster includes Rotobrush rotary brush systems for mechanical agitation and Nikro negative-air machines for controlled debris extraction. These are the same tools commercial crews use on larger buildings, scaled for residential work. When we find a failing filter housing or recommend an upgrade to your media cabinet, we can often install it same visit because we carry the inventory locally.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Sunset Homes
- Biological contamination from humidity. In Sunset, the subtropical humidity and heavy tree canopy mean ductwork rarely just accumulates dust – it grows biological contamination, so cleaning often requires antimicrobial treatment and a look at air handler drainage, not just vacuuming.
- Salt air corrosion near the coast. Coastal salt air corrodes ductwork and registers in homes near the water, causing leaks that let humid outside air into the system and feed mold growth.
- Original 1970s-80s ductwork failure. Original 1970s-80s ductwork often has deteriorated insulation and disconnected runs hidden behind walls – a standard vacuuming without camera inspection misses these, leaving the source of musty odors behind.
- Rainy season water intrusion. During Sunset’s rainy season, roof leaks send water into ductwork, creating sudden musty smells that homeowners mistake for dust; cleaning without addressing the water intrusion leads to mold returning within weeks.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Sunset, FL
Full residential air duct cleaning in Sunset runs $350 – $650 for most homes, with commercial systems starting around $800 depending on square footage and access. Video inspection adds $75 – $125. Dryer vent cleaning, often bundled with duct service, runs $120 – $180.
What moves the price: system size, number of returns and supplies, accessibility of duct runs, and whether we find damage requiring repair. Homes with original 1970s ductwork or coral rock construction often need more time for safe access. We write the price before we start. One flat price per system, no per-vent add-ons, no invoice that balloons once we’re in your home. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate – we’ll ask about your home’s age, system type, and any musty odors you’ve noticed, then give you a range you can plan around.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Sunset
The musty smell is usually mold or mildew growing inside your ductwork, not surface dust. Sunset’s extreme summer humidity and heavy tree canopy create conditions where biological contamination thrives in ducts and air handlers. Standard dusting won’t reach it. We use camera inspection to locate the source, then clean with antimicrobial treatment and verify air handler drainage is working properly. Call (361) 326-5060 if you’re dealing with persistent musty odors – we’ll pinpoint whether it’s biological growth, water intrusion, or a disconnected duct pulling attic air.
Most Sunset homes need cleaning every 3 – 5 years, sooner if you have musty odors, visible mold, or recent water intrusion. The subtropical climate here promotes faster biological growth than drier regions, so we recommend inspection every 2 – 3 years for homes near the coast or with original 1970s-80s ductwork. Call (361) 326-5060 to schedule a video inspection and we’ll tell you if your system is due.
Yes. Salt air corrodes metal registers, duct connectors, and air handler cabinets, creating leaks that pull humid outside air into your system. This extra humidity feeds mold growth and makes your air conditioner work harder. We inspect for corrosion during every cleaning and can recommend corrosion-resistant replacements when needed. Call (361) 326-5060 for an assessment of coastal exposure on your specific system.
Vent cleaning removes buildup from the visible registers and grilles. Air duct cleaning cleans the entire network of supply and return ducts, including the main trunk lines and plenum. In Sunset, vent cleaning alone is rarely enough because the biological growth and hidden damage occur inside the ductwork, not just at the openings. We recommend full system cleaning with camera verification. Call (361) 326-5060 and we’ll explain what your home specifically needs.
Yes. We repair disconnected runs with mechanical fasteners and mastic sealant, and replace crushed flex duct with new properly sized material. Every repair gets a written price before we start, and all repair work is covered by our 365-Day Done Right Promise. We document before-and-after with photos so you see what was found and how it was fixed. Call (361) 326-5060 to schedule a cleaning that includes full inspection and repair capability.
