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 Wellington
Air duct cleaning in Wellington, FL typically runs $350 – $650 per HVAC system for a complete source-removal cleaning, and most homes here need two to four systems serviced due to multi-zone setups. We’re the Air Duct Cleaning crew that serves Wellington from our Miami-area dispatch office, with background-checked, uniformed technicians who arrive inside the quoted window and put the price in writing before touching anything.
Wellington isn’t like other South Florida towns. The equestrian lifestyle means homes in Palm Beach Point, Saddle Trail, and the surrounding acreage often sit near active barns and arenas. Fine sand, horsehair, and hay dust get pulled into return vents, migrate through long duct runs, and settle in air handlers and blower motors. Standard “whole-house” packages miss this reality. We price per system because that’s what Wellington homes actually contain, and we document every run with camera inspection so you see what was removed from zones you can’t access yourself. We also offer Wellington Dryer Vent Cleaning to address lint buildup from heavy laundry loads common in equestrian households. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate.
Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Wellington’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
We’ve been part of the Garrison Partners family since 2004, and our Wellington crews operate under The Garrison Standard: written prices, written guarantees, and a 365-Day Done Right Promise that competitors rarely match in writing. Roy Castellanos leads our operation with the same discipline – show up when we said, price it before we touch it, do it by the book.
Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed. You know who’s walking into your home before they arrive. Phones are answered by a live person 24 hours a day, seven days a week. No voicemail loops. No callback queues. No waiting until Monday when your upstairs zone is blowing arena sand into the nursery.
We use professional-grade equipment: Rotobrush rotary brush systems for agitation, Nikro negative-air machines for source removal, and HEPA filtration so nothing recirculates. For homes with Aprilaire or Honeywell filtration upgrades, we stock compatible components and can assess whether your current setup handles equestrian-area loads or needs reinforcement.
Air Duct Repair in Wellington
Air Duct Repair in Wellington addresses the cracked seams, disconnected joints, and corrosion that develop in ductwork exposed to South Florida’s constant humidity and the abrasive grit from nearby equestrian facilities. When arena sand packs into seams and moisture follows, metal ducts corrode and flexible duct collapses or tears. A typical repair in Wellington runs $200 – $500 per location, depending on accessibility and whether the damage sits behind finished walls or in accessible attic space.
Corrosion at Sand-Impacted Seams
Wellington’s year-round AC cycling pulls humid air through every crack. Where arena sand has settled against metal duct walls, that moisture accelerates rust. We cut out corroded sections, seal replacements with mastic (not tape that fails in humidity), and test static pressure to confirm the repair holds under load. For comprehensive sealing solutions, ask about our Duct Sealing in Wellington to prevent future infiltration.
Disconnected Flex Duct in Multi-Zone Systems
Long flex runs to distant zones in Wellington’s larger homes sag, tear at connections, or get knocked loose during roofing or barn work. We rehang, replace, or reroute as needed, always documenting with photos before we close attic access. The price is written before we start; it doesn’t move when we find the second disconnection.
Ductwork Cleaning in Wellington
Ductwork Cleaning in Wellington removes the accumulated debris that standard filter changes cannot touch: packed arena sand, horsehair, pollen, mold spores, and the fine dust that settles in long runs serving multiple HVAC zones. A complete cleaning per system in Wellington typically costs $350 – $650, with most homes requiring two to four systems. We do not quote “whole-house” flat rates that leave half your zones untouched.
Source Removal with Agitation and Negative Pressure
Vacuum suction at the register doesn’t dislodge packed sand. Our Rotobrush agitation tools scrub duct walls while Nikro negative-air machines pull debris to a HEPA-filtered collection unit outside your home. This is source removal: the contaminants leave the building, not just move around inside it.
Camera Inspection and Written Documentation
After cleaning, we run camera footage through the full length of each duct run. You receive timestamped before-and-after images, plus a written report noting any damage found, repairs made, and filtration recommendations. For Wellington homes with finished walls hiding ductwork, this documentation is the only proof the work happened everywhere it needed to.
Trusted Brands We Service in Wellington
We stock parts and filtration components from Aprilaire, Abatement Technologies, and Guardsman for Wellington customers, with fast turnaround on common items. Aprilaire media filters handle high dust loads well for equestrian-area homes; Abatement Technologies HEPA equipment protects indoor air during active cleaning; Guardsman UV systems address mold concerns in constantly humid ductwork. Our technicians carry compatible components on the truck, so most Wellington jobs don’t wait on parts orders. If your system uses Honeywell or Rotobrush equipment, we service and replace those as well, always explaining what each component does for the specific air moving through your home.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Wellington Homes
- Arena sand migration through multi-zone systems. Fine sand from nearby equestrian facilities doesn’t stay in the barn. It pulls into return vents, travels through long duct runs, and packs into air handlers and blower motors. Single-system cleanings leave the contamination circulating through untouched zones.
- Mold and mildew in constantly humid ductwork. South Florida’s year-round heat and humidity keep AC systems running nonstop. Duct interiors stay damp, especially where insulation has degraded or seams leak. We find active mold growth in roughly one-third of Wellington homes we inspect, particularly in attic runs with poor ventilation.
- Hurricane season water intrusion. Driving rain and wind-driven debris enter through compromised roof vents, damaged flashing, or poorly sealed duct boots. Post-storm inspections often reveal standing water in low duct sections, rusted metal, and saturated flex duct that needs replacement, not just cleaning.
- Per-vent pricing that ignores zone reality. Some Wellington homes have forty or more vents across four systems. Per-vent quotes that looked reasonable at twelve vents become absurd at forty-eight. Our per-system pricing stays consistent regardless of vent count, because the work scales with the air handler and trunk line, not the number of grilles.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Wellington, FL
Most Wellington homeowners pay $350 – $650 per HVAC system for complete ductwork cleaning with source removal, camera inspection, and written documentation. A typical two-system home runs $700 – $1,300; three-system homes common in Palm Beach Point and Saddle Trail range $1,050 – $1,950. Four-system estates may reach $2,400 – $2,600.
What moves the price: accessibility of ductwork (finished ceilings versus open attic), severity of contamination (light dust versus packed sand requiring extended agitation), and whether repairs or filtration upgrades are needed. We inspect first, write the full price, and get your approval before any work begins. No per-vent add-ons. No equipment charges that appear at the door. Estimates are free.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Wellington
Each HVAC zone in Wellington operates as a separate closed loop with its own air handler, blower motor, and trunk line. A “whole-house” flat rate typically covers one system and leaves the others untouched. In neighborhoods like Palm Beach Point and Saddle Trail, we’ve found arena sand and horsehair contaminating all three systems while only one was cleaned under a flat-rate package. Per-system pricing ensures every zone receives source removal, agitation, and camera verification. Call (361) 326-5060 and we’ll count your systems during the free estimate.
Homes within a quarter-mile of active equestrian facilities typically need duct cleaning every two to three years, versus the three-to-five-year standard for homes without barn exposure. Show season, typically winter through spring, generates peak dust loads. We recommend scheduling in early fall before the busy season, when barn activity is lower and your systems will run hardest. Call (361) 326-5060 to check your last cleaning date against your proximity to active arenas.
You should receive timestamped camera footage of every duct run, before and after, plus a written report noting systems cleaned, repairs made, and any damage or recommendations found. For Wellington’s finished-wall homes, this documentation is essential proof that hidden runs were actually accessed and cleared. We provide this on every job; if a contractor won’t put it in writing and on camera, the work is unverifiable. Call (361) 326-5060 and we’ll show you sample documentation before you book.
Yes. Fine sand abrades blower motor bearings, coats evaporator coils (reducing heat transfer and spiking energy bills), and clogs condensate drains (causing water damage and mold). Horsehair wraps around blower wheels, throwing them out of balance and causing premature motor failure. We’ve replaced blower motors in Wellington homes where sand accumulation had worn shafts beyond specification. Cleaning prevents this; replacement costs $800 – $2,500 per air handler. Call (361) 326-5060 for an inspection if your system runs louder or longer than it used to.
Hurricane season can force water and debris into ductwork through compromised roof vents, damaged flashing, or pressure differentials during storms. We recommend inspection after any storm with sustained winds over 60 mph or visible roof damage. Even without structural damage, humidity spikes during extended power outages can trigger mold growth in dormant ductwork. If your system sat off for days after a storm, schedule camera inspection before restarting full operation. Call (361) 326-5060 for post-storm assessment.
