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 HVAC Cleaning Across Immokalee
HVAC cleaning in Immokalee runs $280-$540 for a full system on a typical manufactured home, and most jobs take half a day once we’re on site. That price gets you source removal: extraction of the field dust, mold, and debris packed inside the duct runs, plus cleaning of the evaporator coil and blower assembly. We schedule Immokalee jobs every week, and we’ve worked on enough homes off Main Street, around Lake Trafford Road, and in the Farm Worker Village area to know exactly what we’ll find before we pull the first panel. Call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll give you a written price before any work starts.
Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Is Immokalee’s Preferred HVAC Cleaning Company
We didn’t start in Immokalee knowing everything. We learned it by opening up ducts in 1970s mobile homes, labor camp housing, and the occasional newer site-built home along Oil Well Road, and finding the same thing season after season: reddish-brown agricultural dust fused with biological growth, packed into flex duct that was never designed for this kind of load. A standard air duct cleaning in Immokalee is not the same job as a cleaning in Naples or Fort Myers. The air burden is different, the housing stock is different, and the humidity is different.
Our HVAC Cleaning team works under the Haven Standard, which means a written price before work begins (Clause 1), background-checked and uniformed technicians (Clause 3), and a documented photo record of every duct run before and after the job (Clause 4). Owner Tomas Reyes established CleanRun in 2013, and since then we’ve photographed more than 52,000 homes’ ductwork. Not one of those jobs was priced after the fact. Every Immokalee customer gets the same photo record delivered with the invoice, so you can see what was removed and what remains. If it’s not right, the 365-Day Done Right Promise says we make it right. In writing.
Our HVAC Cleaning Services in Immokalee
We clean the entire air path, not just the registers you can see. In Immokalee, where the duct runs are short but heavily loaded and the air handler is usually a small package unit or a closet-mounted split, cleaning the coil and blower is not an add-on. It’s the difference between a system that cools and one that labors and freezes. Here’s what we do, and why it matters in this town specifically.
Evaporator Coil Cleaning
In Immokalee’s manufactured homes, the evaporator coil sits directly in the airstream of whatever makes it through the return duct. That means field dust, pesticide particulates, and crop pollen coat the coil fins and harden into a felted layer that blocks airflow and drops temperature until the coil freezes. We clean the coil with a combination of compressed air, non-acidic coil cleaner, and rinsing, then photograph it before and after so you can see the difference. A plugged coil in an Immokalee labor camp unit is not a rare find; it’s the default condition when the system hasn’t been serviced in years.
Blower Cleaning
The blower wheel catches whatever the filter misses, and in Immokalee the filter misses a lot. The fine reddish dust that comes off tomato and citrus fields passes through standard fiberglass filters like they aren’t there. Once the blower wheel is caked with layered dust, airflow drops, the motor runs hotter, and the system short cycles. We pull the blower assembly, clean the wheel blades and housing, and reinstall with the motor checked for bearing wear. On a 1980s or 1990s manufactured home, this step alone often changes the sound of the system from a grinding roar to a steady hum.
Condenser Cleaning
The outdoor unit sits in the path of irrigation mist, field dust, and whatever the mower throws. Coil fins clog, head pressure rises, and the compressor runs harder than it should. We clean the condenser coil with a low-pressure wash and coil cleaning solution, straighten bent fins where practical, and check the refrigerant line insulation. In Immokalee, this is not a cosmetic cleaning; it’s what keeps a 20-year-old split system alive through another 105-degree heat-index July.
Air Handler Cleaning
In many Immokalee homes, the air handler is in a small interior closet or beneath the floor pan, where access is tight and the drain pan is frequently hidden. We clean the interior cabinet, blower housing, and drain pan, then clear the condensate line so the system can remove humidity the way it should. Biological growth in the drain pan and on the interior cabinet surfaces is common, and it feeds directly into the supply air. Our photo record includes the air handler interior, so you’re not taking our word for it.

BeforeAfterTrusted Brands We Service in Immokalee
We service whatever is installed, but in Immokalee that usually means a mix of older Carrier, Goodman, Rheem, and Intertherm systems from the manufactured home era. For air quality components, we carry and service Honeywell and Aprilaire thermostats, humidistats, and filtration upgrades; for duct cleaning we run Rotobrush and Nikro equipment with negative-pressure extraction and HEPA filtration, because source removal in this town means capturing the fine agricultural particulate, not blowing it around. We stock common parts for Immokalee jobs, so a cracked drain pan or failed contactor is often fixed same-visit rather than ordered in.
Common HVAC Cleaning Problems We See in Immokalee Homes
- Compacted agricultural dust in flex duct. The reddish-brown layer builds fastest in October-through-June harvest months, when field operations run near continuously. In homes without regular filter changes, this layer can reach 1-2 inches thick inside the return duct in under two years.
- Frozen evaporator coils from restricted airflow. When the coil is caked with field dust and the filter hasn’t been changed, the coil can no longer absorb heat and freezes. In Immokalee’s sustained humidity, a frozen coil thaws into a drain pan overflow and a water stain spread across the floor or closet.
- Mold on degraded flex-duct liners. The vapor barriers on 30- to 40-year-old flex duct delaminate. Once the inner liner tears or the outer jacket splits, humid air enters the duct interior and mold colonizes the fiberglass insulation. This is a removal problem, not a sanitizing problem.
- Blocked condenser coils from irrigation and debris. Immokalee’s surrounding fields use overhead irrigation, and that mist carries soil minerals and fertilizer residues that bake onto condenser fins. We see units where the entire coil surface has a hard crust that ordinary hose pressure won’t move.

FAQs - HVAC Cleaning in Immokalee
HVAC cleaning in Immokalee costs more than Naples because the labor is heavier and the contamination is different. A Naples home with a clean attic and coastal air may let us finish in three hours. An Immokalee manufactured home with compacted agricultural dust, a degraded flex-duct liner, and a clogged blower wheel takes longer, uses more extraction time, and requires coil and blower cleaning that most Naples quotes leave out. We don’t price by square-foot chart; we price by what the camera shows. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written price on your specific system.
Farmworker housing in Immokalee should get HVAC cleaning at least once during the harvest season, and ideally at the September transition into peak harvest and again in April or May when field activity tapers. In crowded units with undersized flex duct, we’ve measured debris accumulation that would take five years in a Naples home occurring in a single season. The harvest months load the system faster because the system runs constantly and the outdoor air is saturated with fine particulate.
The reddish-brown dust is field soil, pulverized crop residue, and particulate from agricultural operations that gets drawn into the return duct and deposited throughout the system. It’s not simply dirt. It carries pesticide and fertilizer constituents in fine particle form, and in the warm humid interior of a duct it binds with biological growth into a compacted layer that sheds spores and particulates into the living space. You don’t want it recirculating. The fix is source removal with HEPA-filtered extraction, not fogging, which leaves the dust in place and adds moisture on top of it.
Fogging doesn’t remove anything. It introduces a mist that settles on whatever is already inside the duct. If that surface is a half-inch layer of compacted field dust with mold underneath, the fog sits on top, the moisture raises the humidity inside the duct, and the mold remains. In Immokalee’s climate, where duct interiors stay above 70 percent relative humidity for months, fogging can make a mold problem worse. Mechanical extraction removes the material the mold is feeding on. That’s not an opinion; it’s what the before-and-after camera record shows.
Yes. In older manufactured homes in Immokalee, flex duct is frequently routed under the floor pan or through unconditioned attic spaces, with joints made of tape that degrades and vapor barriers that split. The pressure and humidity differential between the duct interior and the outside creates condensation at every leak point, and biological growth colonizes the liner. A 2015 site-built home with rigid duct in a conditioned attic doesn’t have this failure mode. That’s why we always run camera inspection on every run in older manufactured homes, and why our photo record matters more here than anywhere else in the region.
If your home is in Immokalee and the air handler hasn’t been opened in years, the best time to have it cleaned is before the next harvest season loads the system again. Call (806) 606-6902. We’ll give you a written price, we’ll document everything with photos before and after, and we’ll stand behind the work for 365 days.
