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.

AfterTrane Air Duct Cleaning in Miami, CA | Hollis Air Duct Cleaning
We clean and restore Trane air duct systems across Miami, and we’re independent of the manufacturer, which means we answer to you and your house, not a corporate warranty matrix. The thing that sets our Trane work apart here comes down to one simple local fact: Miami’s humidity never quits, and Trane equipment runs nearly year-round, so coils and ductwork that stay wet become a biology experiment fast. Roy Castellanos and our crew at Hollis Air Duct Cleaning in Miami inspect every Trane cased coil and return plenum for standing water before a single brush goes in. Call (361) 326-5060 for a written estimate before any work starts.
Why Miami Residents Choose Us for Trane Service
We’ve spent years pulling Trane air handlers and coil cabinets out of Miami attics, garages, and condo chases. That’s the difference between reading a spec sheet and knowing where a Hyperion coil likes to grow biofilm or where a pre-1994 flex duct connection leaks humid attic air into a variable-speed blower module. We are not a Trane-authorized dealer, and we say that plainly. What we are is an independent Trane sales & service focused duct company that works on these systems every week, right alongside Lennox and Carrier. Roy Castellanos grew up in Boyle Heights and was trained in the sheet metal and air conditioning program at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College before spending years in the mechanical trades across LA County. That background matters when you’re on your knees in a 140°F Miami attic deciding whether a rusted Trane drain pan gets cleaned or replaced. Our technicians arrive uniformed and background-checked, the price is written down before anything is touched, and every job carries our 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing.
Common Trane Air Duct Cleaning Problems We Solve in Miami
- Biofilm and mold on all-aluminum evaporator coils. Miami’s year-round runtime means Trane Hyperion and XLi coils never get a dry-out period. The coil stays wet, and wet aluminum in a dark air handler is exactly where mold takes hold. We clean the coil, treat it with antimicrobial, and check the pan below it.
- Humid attic air pulled through loose flex duct. In pre-1994 Miami homes, Trane variable-speed blowers on XLi and XVi systems create enough negative pressure to pull moist attic air through loose duct connections. That air rusts the cabinet and the blower wheel, and it throws off humidity control inside the home.
- Failed factory mastic and foil-tape seals on supply plenums. Miami attics bake at 140°F for months. Trane’s factory seals on supply plenums crack and peel in that heat, letting unfiltered air bypass the filter completely. We reseal with fresh mastic and repair the plenum before any cleaning makes sense.
- Condensate pan slime in high-rise chases. During Miami’s May to October rainy season, Trane cased coils in condo vertical chases grow biological slime in the drain pan. That pan overflows, and the overflow soaks the duct insulation above the unit. We clear the pan, replace soaked insulation, and test the float switch.
- Moldy cabinet interiors in garage-mounted air handlers. The ground in Miami never fully dries during the rainy season, so Trane air handlers mounted in garages and closets pull ground moisture into the return. That moisture grows mold on the cabinet interior within a single season. We inspect the cabinet, the return plenum, and the duct insulation before we start.
Trane Service in Miami: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here’s the Miami-specific detail that changes how Trane duct cleaning must be done here. Miami’s rainy season runs May through October, and the ground simply does not dry out. Trane air handlers mounted in garages and interior closets draw that ground moisture into the return plenum with every cycle. In Little Havana, we pulled a Trane XR air handler out of a closet after a homeowner reported a musty smell every time the system kicked on. The return plenum insulation was soaked because a summer storm had backed water up the chase. We replaced the wet flex duct, treated the Trane cased coil with antimicrobial, resealed the plenum with mastic, and installed a float switch on the condensate pan so the next heavy rain wouldn’t flood the cabinet again. That’s the kind of job a dry-climate Trane owner never sees, and it’s exactly the kind of job we check for on every Miami call before any cleaning begins.
Trane Models & Products We Service in Miami
We service the full range of Trane equipment found in Miami homes, including XR and XB series split systems, XLi and XVi variable-speed communicating systems, Trane Tempo and American Standard (Trane-built) packaged units common in older homes, and Hyperion air handlers with all-aluminum evaporator coils. When a cabinet or control board needs an exact fit, we use OEM Trane coils, blower motors, and drain pans. Everywhere else, quality aftermarket flex duct, mastic, and insulation do the job without the markup. When a Trane coil or air handler is rusted through or mold-saturated beyond cleaning, we tell owners straight. Repair only makes sense if the cabinet and pan are structurally sound.
Trane Service Pricing in Miami
For Trane air duct cleaning in Miami, most whole-house jobs run between $450 and $900 depending on the number of ducts, the size of the air handler, and how much microbial growth is present. Evaporator coil cleaning typically adds $150 to $350, and duct insulation replacement runs $12 to $22 per linear foot when water damage requires it. The Miami factors that drive cost are attic heat, rainy-season moisture, and the condition of the plenum seals. Our written estimate includes a full inspection of the Trane coil, drain pan, return plenum, and duct insulation before we clean anything.

FAQs – Trane Air Duct Cleaning in Miami
That smell almost always comes from mold growing on the all-aluminum evaporator coil or on soaked duct insulation inside the air handler cabinet, and in Miami’s humidity both are common. Replacing the filter doesn’t touch either one because the filter only catches particles in the air stream, not the biology already attached to the coil. We open the cabinet, inspect the coil and the return plenum, and treat what we find. The cost ranges from $150 to $350 for the coil cleaning plus any insulation replacement that’s needed. Call (361) 326-5060 and we’ll inspect it for free.
In most Miami condo buildings, work inside your own unit on your own Trane system generally doesn’t require HOA approval, but anything that touches a shared vertical chase or the building’s central chiller plant usually does. We coordinate directly with building management when the work requires access to a shared chase, and we carry the insurance certificates most HOAs ask for. Tell us the building when you call (361) 326-5060 and we’ll walk you through it.
Yes, but cleaning alone isn’t enough if water got inside the ductwork. We check every Trane cased coil and return plenum for standing water, and we replace any soaked duct insulation before we start cleaning, because running a brush through wet insulation spreads mold spores through the entire system. The wet flex duct and insulation come out first, then the cleaning, then the antimicrobial treatment on the coil and cabinet. If you’re in Little Havana, Miami Beach, or anywhere the water backed up after a storm, schedule Miami Dryer Vent Cleaning or duct service by calling (361) 326-5060 as soon as you can.
In Miami, every 2 to 3 years is the realistic interval for most Trane systems, compared with 4 to 5 years in drier climates. The reason is the humidity. Miami’s average relative humidity of 75% and the rainy season from May to October mean your Trane coil stays wet and microbial growth doesn’t stop, even when the system is running right. Homes in flood-prone areas like Little Havana and Miami Beach may need it more often after heavy storms. Call (361) 326-5060 and we’ll tell you honestly whether your ducts actually need it this year.
When the cabinet, coil, blower motor, or drain pan needs an exact fit, we use OEM Trane parts. For flex duct, mastic, insulation, and other ducting materials, we use high-quality aftermarket products that meet or exceed spec without the OEM markup. We’ll write the parts list and the price on your estimate before any work starts, and if a Trane coil is beyond cleaning, we’ll tell you straight whether repair makes sense. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free inspection.
