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 Jacksonville
Air duct cleaning in Jacksonville typically runs $390-$780 for a full system on a single-family home, depending on the number of runs, the age of the ductwork, and how much has accumulated inside. Most jobs are done in a single visit, usually four to seven hours on site. If you’re noticing dust settling back on furniture within days of wiping it, or if certain rooms smell musty when the AC kicks on, the issue is likely in the ductwork. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written price before we ever touch a panel. That’s how we’ve handled every one of the 52,000-plus homes we’ve served since 2013.
Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Is Jacksonville’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
Jacksonville’s combination of river-basin humidity and punishing attic heat means duct systems here fail differently than they do nearly anywhere else in Florida. We’ve spent years working homes from Arlington to Mandarin, and we know what a 1970s-era flex run looks like after four decades of 130° attic summers. That local experience matters because the fix is rarely as simple as running a vacuum through the registers.
Every visit ends with a documented photo record of every duct run, before and after. You see exactly what was removed. No fogging-only upsell that leaves the source contamination in place. Tomas Reyes, who leads our Jacksonville crews, has built this operation around a simple principle: if it can’t be photographed, it didn’t happen. That’s the Air Duct Cleaning standard we’ve maintained since our first job in 2013, and it’s backed by the 365-Day Done Right Promise: if it’s not right, we make it right, in writing, every time.
Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and identified by name before they arrive. They operate under the H.A.V.E.N. Standard, with license number published on every written estimate, not buried in a footer. When we quote a job in Jacksonville, the price is written, itemized, and agreed to before any work starts. Haven Standard Clause 1, no exceptions.
Our Air Duct Cleaning Services in Jacksonville
Residential Duct Cleaning
Most Jacksonville homes we clean are slab-on-grade construction with attic-mounted air handlers. The flex duct that runs from those handlers through 140° attic spaces is typically 25 to 50 years old, and it accumulates contamination at a rate that surprises homeowners. Our residential process uses negative-pressure extraction with HEPA filtration: the entire system is sealed, put under vacuum, and agitated with professional-grade tools so debris comes out at the source rather than being blown into living spaces. We finish with a camera scope of every run so you can see the result - not just take our word for it.
Commercial Duct Cleaning
Jacksonville’s commercial stock along Baymeadows, Southpoint, and the downtown core includes a lot of buildings where HVAC systems have been expanded, patched, and re-zoned over decades. That creates irregular duct paths that trap debris in ways a residential system won’t. We approach commercial jobs the same way we do residential: written scope, written price, documented photo record at the end. Property managers in Jacksonville work with us because they get a deliverable they can show building owners - not a vague invoice for “cleaning services.”
Supply Duct Cleaning
Supply ducts carry conditioned air from the air handler to your rooms. In Jacksonville’s humid climate, these are the runs where condensation forms when cold air meets attic heat, and that moisture turns dust into a paste that adheres to the duct liner. Cleaning supply runs properly means getting agitation tools far enough into the ductwork to break that bond, not just brushing the first few feet from the register. We do this under continuous negative pressure so loosened debris is pulled out of the system, not pushed deeper in.
Return Duct Cleaning
Return ducts pull air from your living spaces back to the air handler. They’re the first thing we inspect because they tell us how much airborne particulate your household has been generating. In homes near the St. Johns River, return runs often carry a distinct gray coating of organic material that’s been cycling through the system for years. Cleaning supplies without addressing returns leaves a reservoir of contamination that just re-seeds the entire system within months. We treat both as part of any full-system job - in our view, cleaning one without the other isn’t a partial service, it’s a failed service.
Full System Cleaning
A full system clean in Jacksonville means every supply run, every return run, the plenum, the air handler cabinet, and both sides of the coil are addressed in one visit. This is the service we recommend for most homes, because partial cleaning in this humidity leads to rapid re-contamination. We photograph every run before and after, and the photo record is delivered as part of your standard job documentation. If you’re going to pay for cleaning, you should be able to see what you paid for.
Video Inspection
Before any cleaning recommendation, we camera-scope the ductwork. This isn’t a sales tool; it’s an evidence tool. You watch the screen with us. If a run is crushed in the attic, we’ll show you. If the liner is shredded near the air handler, you’ll see it. A written quote that follows a video inspection is a different document than one written over the phone. Jacksonville homes with original 1980s flex regularly have failures that phone-quote companies never find because they never look.

If your Jacksonville home has an Aprilaire filter cabinet or a Honeywell media filter, our technicians are familiar with the housing, the gaskets, and the service requirements. Local parts availability is rarely an issue - our Jacksonville office keeps common consumables on the shelf so redos and add-ons don’t wait on a backorder.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Jacksonville Homes
- Moldy “clean” ducts from fogging-only services. A fogging treatment sprays a biocide into the ductwork without removing the moisture-bound particulate load first. The river-basin humidity reactivates growth within weeks because the food source never left. Source removal is the only thing that actually works here.
- Crushed or kinked flex duct in Arlington and Wesconnett attics. Decades of careless storage, foot traffic, and sagging hangers leave flex runs kinked and restricted. No amount of cleaning fixes airflow until the duct is replaced or re-hung. We photograph this so you can see why airflow is bad before deciding on a repair.
- Shredded inner liners in 1980s flex duct. The mylar-and-fiberglass liner inside old flex breaks down from sustained attic heat. Once it’s shredding, cleaning can’t restore it - the material is physically degrading and blowing particles into your living spaces. This requires replacement, not a cleaning.
- Retrofitted ducts in Riverside and Avondale pre-1940s homes. These historic homes had ductwork added long after construction, often with sharp bends and inaccessible runs that trap debris permanently. Inexperienced crews skip the hard sections. We cut access panels where needed and camera-verify everything, which is the only honest way to do the work.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Jacksonville, FL
A full-system Air Duct Cleaning in Jacksonville for a typical 3-4 bedroom home runs $390-$780. Homes under 1,800 square feet with a single return typically fall at the lower end; larger two-story homes with multiple returns and 15-plus runs land higher. Retrofitted homes in Riverside and Avondale that need access panels cut add $100-$200 in labor depending on how many are required. The single biggest variable is the age of the flex duct - original 1970s and 1980s runs that need replacement rather than cleaning will be quoted as a separate written line item, never snuck onto the invoice after the fact. Duct replacement in Jacksonville, when necessary, runs $1,800-$4,200 for a typical attic system depending on run count and accessibility. Every quote is written, itemized, and presented before any work begins. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written estimate - it’s free, and it’s yours to keep whether you hire us or not.
We also provide a Free Second Opinion on any written estimate. Bring a competitor’s quote and we’ll put our written number next to it, line by line. If ours is higher, you’ll see exactly where the difference is - usually it’s because we’re cleaning every run and documenting the result, not blowing out the first three feet and handing you a bill.

FAQs - Air Duct Cleaning in Jacksonville
Mold returns because the cleaning you paid for never removed the food source. Jacksonville’s river-basin humidity means any organic material left inside ductwork stays damp enough to support regrowth within weeks. If the previous company fogged a sanitizer without source removal, the spores were killed temporarily but the wet, nutrient-rich dust remained. A proper NADCA source-removal clean physically extracts that material under negative pressure, and the HEPA filtration captures it before it re-enters your home. We photo-document every run after extraction so you can verify the surfaces are actually clean. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written price on a full source-removal clean.
Yes and no. The inner liner of older flex duct is fiberglass cloth bonded to mylar. When attic heat degrades the bonding, the fiberglass begins to shred and circulate through the supply runs into bedrooms and living areas. Cleaning will not fix this - the material is physically disintegrating, and agitation can actually worsen the release. The fix is replacement of the affected runs. We recently pulled original 1979 flex from an Arlington home where the liner had shredded into confetti blowing directly into the bedrooms. The homeowner had paid for three fogging-only “sanitiser” treatments over the years; none had touched the source contamination. Our techs ran a Rotobrush agitation under negative pressure with HEPA filtration, then camera-scoped the runs to confirm no fiberglass remained downstream. Replacement isn’t cheap, but it’s the only honest fix. Call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll show you on camera what’s actually in your ducts.
NADCA, the National Air Duct Cleaners Association, sets the procedure for source-removal cleaning: the entire system goes under negative pressure while mechanical agitation loosens debris from all interior surfaces, and the extracted particulate is captured by HEPA filtration. For Jacksonville specifically, NADCA methodology matters because the river-basin humidity and nearly year-round AC operation mean contamination adheres to duct surfaces more aggressively than in drier markets. A vacuum-and-brush pass that might suffice in a dry climate won’t break the moist paste that forms on Jacksonville duct liners. We follow NADCA procedures on every full-system clean and document the results with before-and-after photos of every run. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written estimate.
Homes within about two miles of the St. Johns River should have ducts inspected every two to three years and cleaned when the inspection shows visible accumulation. The river basin keeps ground-level humidity elevated even when coastal breezes provide relief, and that moisture finds its way into duct seams and plenum boxes. Homes further inland in the Southside or Baymeadows corridors may stretch to four or five years. The honest answer: the camera tells you when it’s time. We don’t clean on a calendar; we clean when the documented condition shows it’s needed. Call (806) 606-6902 to schedule an inspection with a written condition report.
Supply ducts push conditioned air into rooms; return ducts pull air back to the handler. In Jacksonville’s humid climate, supply runs develop condensation where cold air meets hot attic conditions, gluing dust to the liner. Return runs, meanwhile, collect whatever your household generates - cooking aerosols, pet dander, skin cells, and outdoor particulate dragged in on shoes. Cleaning one without the other leaves a contamination reservoir that re-seeds the entire system within months. That’s why we don’t offer “supply only” or “return only” pricing for full-system work. If you’re paying for cleaning, getting both sides is the only way the job actually lasts. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written quote on a complete supply-and-return clean.
If you’re in Jacksonville and you want to know what’s actually inside your ductwork before spending money, call (806) 606-6902. We’ll give you a written price, show you the video before touching anything, and hand you a photo record when the job is done. That’s the CleanRun way, and it’s been working since 2013 for a reason.
