Every visit covers the full system, not just the easy-to-reach vents. Here is what is part of a standard job, and where additional repairs may come into play if the inspection turns up damage.
We clean every supply register, return grille, branch run, and the main trunk line. The blower compartment and evaporator coil access area get cleaned too, since that is where a lot of debris collects before it ever reaches the ducts.
We check every accessible joint, connection, and boot for leakage. Disconnected flex duct, torn insulation, and unsealed plenum connections are the most common findings in Orlando homes, and we document each one with photos.
Accessible leaks get sealed with mastic and mesh, and disconnected runs get reattached and supported properly. This is the step that actually lowers your cooling bill, because it stops conditioned air from escaping into the attic.
We measure static pressure before and after the work and check airflow at each register. You get the numbers in writing, so you can see exactly what changed rather than taking our word for it.
Dryer vent and duct cleaning Orlando Florida customers often bundle together, since both involve lint and airflow restriction. We can clean the dryer vent on the same visit, which reduces fire risk and helps the dryer run more efficiently.
Duct cleaning Orlando FL is a mechanical service that removes accumulated dust, debris, and biological growth from your supply and return ductwork, then repairs the leaks and disconnected joints that let that debris back in. We run a high-powered duct cleaning vacuum through every branch line, agitate the walls with rotary brushes, and pull the loosened material out of the system. Then we inspect for duct leakage, failed flex duct connections, and crushed runs. A full clean-and-repair visit on a typical 1,800-square-foot Orlando home takes three to five hours.
Central Florida homes run their air handlers nine to ten months a year, so ducts here collect debris roughly twice as fast as they do up north. Add our humid summers, and you get the perfect conditions for mold growth inside duct insulation. If you have noticed musty odors when the AC kicks on, or you are searching for duct cleaning Orlando FL near me because someone in the house keeps sneezing, the ducts are worth inspecting. We also handle air duct sealing Orlando homeowners need when utility bills creep up.
Every job follows the same five steps. You get a clear walkthrough before we start, and a system test before we leave.
Schedule
Call or book online — a real human picks up and confirms a 2-hour arrival window.
Diagnose
Licensed tech inspects on-site, then walks you through the cause and your options.
Fix
The job is completed to code and done right the first time — no shortcuts, no surprises.
Guarantee
Every job backed by a written workmanship warranty — and we stand behind it.
Duct cleaning vacuum
High-volume negative-pressure unit that pulls loosened debris out of the system and into a sealed collection chamber. We size the vacuum to the duct system so suction stays strong at the farthest branch lines.
Rotary brush and air whip
Mechanical agitation tools that travel each branch run and scrub caked dust off the duct walls. Without agitation, a vacuum alone leaves a bonded layer behind.
Manifold gauges and multimeter
Used to verify system performance after duct work. We check refrigerant pressures and electrical readings to confirm the equipment is running within spec once airflow is corrected.
Leak detector
Electronic detector for tracing refrigerant leaks when a duct problem turns out to be a system issue. Common findings include leaks at the evaporator coil and line set connections.
Fin comb and tube cutter
Used during coil cleaning and line set work when duct repairs uncover bent fins or damaged copper. Small tools, but they keep the repair clean and code-correct.
Mastic, mesh, and duct insulation
Sealing materials for joints, plenum connections, and boot leaks. We use mastic and mesh rather than tape alone, because tape fails in Orlando attic heat within a couple of seasons.
ACCA standard airflow testing
We measure static pressure and register airflow against ACCA standards before and after the work. This turns a subjective clean into a measurable result, and it tells us whether the duct system is sized correctly for the equipment.
Source-removal approach
Cleaning without fixing the source of contamination is a temporary fix. We identify where the dust, moisture, or debris is entering the system and address that, whether it is a return pulling attic air or a filter housing that bypasses.
Repair-first scoping
We seal and reconnect wherever the ducts can be saved, and we quote full replacement only when the runs are crushed, waterlogged, or too deteriorated to repair. You get the honest version, not the expensive one.
EPA Section 608 refrigerant handling
When duct work uncovers a refrigerant issue, our techs handle recovery and recharge under EPA Section 608 rules. That keeps the job compliant and protects the equipment from improper handling.
01
What we do: We inspect and clean the full system, document any damage with photos, and seal leaks we find. You get a baseline for the house and a clear picture of what the ducts need going forward.
→ You start ownership with clean ducts and a written record of system condition, which is useful for warranty and insurance purposes.
02
What we do: We clean the ducts after the renovation is finished, since construction dust settles into the system and gets recirculated. We also check that no runs were damaged or disconnected during the work.
→ The fine drywall and sawdust that would have coated your house for months gets removed in one visit.
03
What we do: We run a full duct inspection with pressure readings, identify the restriction or leak, and repair it. This is often a disconnected flex run or an undersized return that has been a problem for years.
→ Airflow returns to spec, the system stops straining, and you avoid a premature blower motor failure.
04
What we do: Pet dander and hair load up in return ducts and on the blower wheel. We clean the full system, including the blower compartment, and check filtration to make sure it is sized for a pet household.
→ Odors drop noticeably, and the air filter lasts longer because the system is not fighting a dirty duct load.
Orlando is a tough climate for ductwork. We run air conditioning nine to ten months a year, and our summer humidity sits in the 70 to 80 percent range for months. That combination means ducts load up with dust faster than in cooler markets, and any moisture that gets into the system stays there. Attic temperatures in July regularly hit 130 to 140 degrees, which cooks flex duct and degrades tape and cheap sealants within a season or two. Older homes in College Park and Downtown Orlando often have original sheet metal trunks with leaky joints, while newer construction in Lake Nona and Dr. Phillips tends to use long flex duct runs that can sag, kink, or disconnect at the plenum. If you are looking for duct leakage repair Orlando homeowners actually need, the attic is usually where we find it. We also see a lot of return ducts pulling hot attic air because of a bad connection at the air handler. Our approach is built around this reality: seal with mastic and mesh, support flex runs properly, and verify with static pressure readings so the fix holds through August.
College Park
Many homes here date to the 1950s and 1960s, with original sheet metal trunk lines that develop leaky joints over decades. Sealing those joints often delivers the biggest airflow improvement.
Lake Nona
Newer construction frequently uses long flex duct runs in the attic. We see sagging runs and disconnected plenum connections, especially where installers cut corners on support straps.
Downtown Orlando
Condos and older bungalows have tight chases and limited duct access. We use smaller agitation tools and camera inspection to work in these spaces without cutting into finished walls.
Winter Park
A mix of historic homes and renovations. Post-renovation duct cleaning is common here, since construction dust settles into the system and gets recirculated for months.
Year-round AC runtime with high humidity
Ducts collect debris roughly twice as fast as in cooler markets, and any moisture intrusion becomes a microbial growth problem quickly. We recommend cleaning every three to five years here, not the five-to-seven you see quoted nationally.
Attic temperatures above 130 degrees in summer
Heat degrades flex duct and breaks down cheap sealants. We use mastic and mesh rated for high-temperature attic environments so the repair lasts more than one season.
Sandy soil and construction activity
New development and road work kick up fine dust that finds its way into return ducts. Homes near active construction benefit from more frequent filter changes and duct inspections.
Most duct issues fall into a handful of categories. Here is what we see most often and what happens if you leave them alone.
Problem
Your system is recirculating debris instead of filtering it out, which worsens allergies and coats every surface in the house.
Our Fix
We vacuum the full duct system, clean the blower compartment, and check whether the return is pulling air from an unfiltered space. If the filter housing is bypassing, we seal it so the air actually goes through the filter.
Problem
That odor usually means microbial growth on wet duct insulation, and it will keep spreading as long as the moisture source stays active.
Our Fix
We clean the affected sections, then find and fix the moisture source, whether it is a clogged PVC drain line, a sweating plenum, or a return duct drawing humid attic air. Cleaning without fixing the moisture just delays the problem.
Problem
Uneven cooling usually points to duct leakage or a crushed run, and the system runs longer trying to compensate, driving up your bill.
Our Fix
We measure static pressure and airflow at each register to find the restriction. Then we repair or replace the damaged run and seal the leaks. Most uneven-cooling calls resolve with duct repair rather than new equipment.
Problem
Duct leakage of 20 to 30 percent means you are paying to cool your attic, and the system runs longer to make up the difference.
Our Fix
We perform a leak inspection, seal accessible joints and connections, and verify the improvement with static pressure readings. If the ducts are too far gone, we will tell you honestly and quote replacement.
Dirty, leaky ducts cost you money every month and put dust back into the air you breathe. Here is what changes after we clean and seal the system.
Lower cooling costs
Duct leakage of 20 to 30 percent is common in older Orlando homes. When we seal those gaps, your air handler stops cooling your attic and starts cooling your living room. Most customers see a measurable drop in run time within the first billing cycle after ductwork repair Orlando.
Less dust and allergens
A clean duct system stops recycling the same dust through your bedrooms and living areas. If you have allergy sufferers at home, pairing a duct cleaning with a fresh air filter and a check of your return sizing makes a noticeable difference in how the house feels day to day.
No more musty odors
That smell when the AC first starts is often microbial growth on wet duct insulation. We remove the contamination, then fix the underlying moisture problem, whether it is a clogged drain line, a sweating plenum, or a return duct pulling humid attic air into the system.
Longer equipment life
Restricted or leaky ducts force your blower motor and compressor to work harder. That extra strain shortens equipment life and increases the odds of a capacitor failure or blower motor failure in the middle of a July heat wave. Clean, sealed ducts let the system run at its rated capacity.

Called about dust blowing from our vents in College Park. They came out the same day, showed me photos of the inside of the ducts, and cleaned everything plus reconnected a fallen flex run. Fair price, no upsell. The dust problem is gone.
Yelp ★★★★★4.8
We had a musty smell every time the AC kicked on. They found the moisture source, cleaned the affected ducts, and fixed a clogged drain line. The smell is gone and the house feels better. Professional crew, showed up on time.
BBB ★★★★★4.9
Used them for duct cleaning between tenants at a rental property downtown. Quick scheduling, clear pricing, and they sent before-and-after photos. They did not try to sell repairs that were not needed. Will use again.

Post-renovation duct cleaning in Winter Park. Drywall dust was everywhere. They cleaned the full system and the blower compartment, and my filter lasts normal again. Explained everything they did and why. Highly recommend.
We have been working on Central Florida air systems since 1982, which means 44 years of ducts, plenums, and air handlers in this climate. Our technicians hold NATE certification and work under a Florida HVAC license (Class A). We follow ACCA standards for airflow and static pressure testing, and we are EPA Section 608 certified for refrigerant handling. That matters when a duct problem turns out to be a frozen evaporator coil or a refrigerant leak upstream. We work on Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Goodman, Rheem, York, Daikin, and Mitsubishi Electric equipment, so we know how each manufacturer routes its ductwork and where the weak points tend to be.
Real experiences from customers who chose our Duct Cleaning & Repair services.
“Our 1960s College Park house had ducts that had clearly never been touched. The tech showed me photos before he started, and there was a solid layer of dust and a disconnected flex run in the attic. They cleaned everything, reconnected the run, and sealed the trunk joints. The dust on our furniture dropped noticeably within a week, and the AC does not run as long in the afternoon.”
Marcus T.
Homeowner, College Park
“We called because my son's allergies were getting worse every summer. They found microbial growth on the duct insulation near the air handler, which explained the musty smell. After cleaning and fixing a clogged drain line that was keeping things damp, the smell is gone. Static pressure readings were better too. Worth every dollar.”
Priya S.
Homeowner, Lake Nona
“I manage several rental units downtown and use these guys for duct cleaning between tenants. They are quick, they send photos of the work, and they do not try to upsell repairs that are not needed. One unit had crushed flex duct in a tight closet, and they fixed it on the same visit. Reliable crew, fair pricing.”

Real answers to the questions we hear most often from local homeowners and property managers.
Duct problems often show up as AC symptoms, like weak airflow or a system that runs constantly. We diagnose the whole picture, including duct leakage, before recommending a repair. If your AC is short-cycling or not cooling, we will check the ducts as part of the call.
View AC RepairA collapsed duct or a disconnected flex run can choke airflow and trip your system offline in the middle of summer. Our 24/7 emergency service covers Orlando and Orange County, and we can handle duct repair on the same visit as the AC fix.
View Emergency AC RepairWhen we install a new system, we inspect and seal the existing ductwork first. New equipment on leaky ducts wastes capacity and money. We size the ducts to the new unit and seal them so you get the efficiency you paid for.
View AC Installation & ReplacementOur maintenance visits include a duct inspection, filter check, and static pressure reading. Catching a small duct leak during a tune-up is far cheaper than repairing the blower motor it would eventually strain. We recommend a tune-up twice a year in this climate.
View AC Maintenance & Tune-UpsHeat pumps and furnaces push air through the same ducts your AC uses. Leaky or dirty ducts cause uneven heating and higher run times in winter. We clean and seal the system so your heating side works as well as your cooling side.
View Heating RepairHeat pumps are sensitive to airflow, and duct restrictions cause them to run hot and short-cycle. We check duct sizing and leakage as part of every heat pump service call. Proper airflow keeps the reversing valve and compressor within spec.
