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 Winter Garden
Air duct cleaning in Winter Garden typically runs $350 – $750 for a full residential system, with most homes in the Horizon West and Lakeshore areas falling in the $450 – $600 range for a single system. We’re Hollis Air Duct Cleaning, and we’ve been clearing ductwork for Winter Garden homeowners since 2004 as part of the Garrison Partners family. Our dispatch office is in Orlando, but our crews live and work in this market. We know the difference between a 1990s tract home off Colonial Drive and a new two-story in Horizon West with flex duct crammed into a 24-inch attic chase. That local knowledge changes how we price the job, what equipment we bring, and how we document it. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate.
Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Winter Garden’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
We’ve built our reputation in Winter Garden on one thing: doing what we said we’d do, at the price we wrote down, with paperwork that holds up. Our Air Duct Cleaning team serves the full Winter Garden area, from downtown bungalows near Plant Street to new construction in the Lakeshore and Horizon West subdivisions.
Winter Garden homeowners call us back because we show up inside the window, in uniform, with background-checked technicians who’ve been briefed on the house before they arrive. The Garrison Standard requires written pricing before any work starts and a 365-Day Done Right Promise backed in writing. If something fails within a year, we return and make it right at no charge, including a free second visit. No negotiation, no runaround.
Our phones are answered by a live person 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Not a callback queue. Not “leave a message and we’ll get back to you Monday.” A real person who can schedule your Winter Garden appointment or answer questions about what we actually do inside your ducts.
Vent Cleaning in Winter Garden
Vent Cleaning in Winter Garden means more than wiping down the supply registers you can see from the hallway. In our market, with AC running almost year-round and humidity that rarely drops below 60%, the real problem is usually deeper: microbial growth on the duct walls, debris in the return plenum, and condensation stains that tell you where insulation has failed. A proper vent cleaning here agitates the full length of the duct, extracts debris with negative-air or rotary brush equipment, and verifies the result with visual inspection.
For Winter Garden homes, vent cleaning typically runs $150 – $300 per system when done as a standalone service, or it’s bundled into a full system cleaning at better value. Homes in Horizon West with multiple systems and long attic runs usually need the full treatment, not a register wipe.
Supply Vent Cleaning
Supply vents push conditioned air into your rooms, but in Winter Garden’s humid climate, they’re also where condensation first shows up as dark staining or a musty smell when the blower kicks on. We remove each register, clean the boot and first few feet of duct, then agitate and extract the full run to the trunk line. In two-story homes with low-clearance attics, we use flexible rotary brushes and camera guidance to work around trusses and tight chases.
Return Vent and Plenum Cleaning
Return vents pull air back to the air handler, and they’re the dirtiest part of most Winter Garden systems because they collect everything your filter missed. We clean the grille, the return box, and the plenum connection, then verify airflow is balanced after reassembly. This matters especially in newer homes with sealed duct systems, where restricted return airflow can cause the coil to freeze or the blower to overwork.
Air Duct Repair in Winter Garden
Air Duct Repair in Winter Garden addresses the damage that humidity, heat, and tight attic spaces inflict on flexible ductwork. Sagging flex ducts, disconnected trunk connections, and crushed sections in low-clearance chases are common in Horizon West and Lakeshore homes where builders prioritized energy efficiency over service access. Repair work here ranges from $200 – $500 for isolated fixes to $800 – $1,500 when multiple runs in a tight attic need re-securing, re-insulating, or replacement.
We don’t guess at what’s wrong. We camera the line, show you the footage, and write down the repair and price before we cut anything. That’s The Garrison Standard.
Flex Duct Re-securing and Support
In Winter Garden’s two-story homes, flex duct often sags between supports, creating low spots where condensation pools and microbial growth takes hold. We re-secure with proper straps, eliminate sag, and replace damaged insulation. This is tedious work in a 24-inch attic chase, but it’s the only way to stop the musty smell from coming back.
Trunk Line Sealing and Mastic Repair
Metal trunk lines in older Winter Garden homes, and some newer ones, develop leaks at seams and takeoff connections. We seal with mastic, not tape that will dry and fail in a 140-degree attic. Proper sealing restores pressure balance and stops conditioned air from leaking into spaces where it does no good.
Trusted Brands We Service in Winter Garden
We run professional-grade equipment because Winter Garden’s climate and housing stock demand it. Our rotary brush systems come from Rotobrush, our negative-air machines from Nikro, and our HEPA filtration and containment from Abatement Technologies. For homeowners who want upgraded filtration after cleaning, we stock Aprilaire media cleaners and Guardsman UV systems. We don’t show up with shop vacs and hope for the best. These are the same tools commercial crews use in hospitals and schools, and we explain what each one does while we’re working in your home. Parts and filters are stocked locally, so if your Winter Garden system needs a component we don’t carry on the van, turnaround is usually 24 – 48 hours, not a week.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Winter Garden Homes
- Condensation-fed microbial growth in sealed duct systems. Winter Garden’s humidity and year-round AC use create condensation inside flex ducts, especially in low-clearance Horizon West attics where insulation gets compressed. The result is a musty smell that air fresheners won’t touch, because the source is inside the duct walls.
- Documentation gaps that void home warranty claims. Many Winter Garden homes in Horizon West and Lakeshore are still under builder warranty, but warranty companies require dated, photo-documented evidence of pre-existing conditions before they’ll approve duct-related claims. Cleaners who skip camera inspection break that chain.
- Partial cleaning that misses the hard-to-reach runs. Some crews clean only the visible registers and first few feet of duct, leaving the long attic runs untouched. In Winter Garden’s two-story homes, those runs are where the actual problem lives.
- Ignored condensation sources that guarantee mold returns. Cleaning ducts without checking air handler drainage, coil condition, and attic insulation means the moisture problem persists. In Winter Garden’s climate, mold is back within a season.

Factors that move the needle: system count, attic accessibility (tight chases take longer), contamination level, and whether documentation for warranty claims is required.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Winter Garden
No, if the work is documented properly. We photograph pre-existing conditions, log contamination levels, and provide dated reports that support rather than void warranty claims. Many Horizon West homeowners have used our documentation to get builder-paid repairs for insulation failures and drainage issues that caused the duct contamination in the first place. Call (361) 326-5060 and mention your warranty status when you schedule.
The smell comes from microbial growth on damp duct surfaces, and running the AC more often can make it worse by adding condensation. Winter Garden’s humidity means ducts sweat in poorly insulated attics, especially during our occasional cold snaps when the temperature differential spikes. Cleaning removes the growth, but we also identify and report the moisture source so it doesn’t return. Call (361) 326-5060 for an inspection.
Not quite three times, because some setup costs are shared, but yes, each system is priced separately and the total reflects real labor and equipment time. A three-system home in Lakeshore or Horizon West typically runs $900 – $1,200 for full cleaning with documentation. We write down each system’s price before we start, so you know exactly what the total will be. Call (361) 326-5060 for a quote on your specific home.
We use flexible rotary brush systems from Rotobrush and portable negative-air units that fit where standard equipment won’t, plus camera guidance to navigate blind runs. Our technicians are trained for contortion work in 24-inch chases, and we don’t charge extra for the difficulty. We bring the right tools for Winter Garden’s actual housing stock, not a one-size-fits-all approach. Call (361) 326-5060 to discuss your home’s layout.
A complete Hollis job file includes dated before-and-after photos from the camera inspection, a written description of conditions found and work performed, equipment and filtration specifications, and the final price you agreed to. For warranty claims, we add contamination logging and moisture source identification. You get a copy before we leave the site. This documentation is part of The Garrison Standard, not an extra. Call (361) 326-5060 to schedule.
