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 Kendale Lakes
HVAC cleaning in Kendale Lakes typically runs $350-$650 for a full system and takes 3-5 hours when coils, blower, and duct runs are all serviced. That price should be in writing before a single access panel comes off. CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning does exactly that, and we photograph the inside of every duct run before and after so you can see what was actually removed. If you’re in Kendale Lakes and want a documented answer to what’s moving through your air, call (806) 606-6902.
We work in Kendale Lakes regularly. We know the 1970s and 1980s CBS ranchers off Kendall Drive, the canal-front lots near Kendale Lakes Boulevard, and the neighborhoods around West Kendall where attic air handlers bake at 150°F from April through October. That local knowledge matters because HVAC cleaning here is not the same job as it is five miles east. More on that below.
Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Is Kendale Lakes’s Preferred HVAC Cleaning Company
CleanRun has served 52,000+ homes since 2013, and every one of them got a written price before work started. That’s Haven Standard Clause 1, and it’s not a marketing line. It’s the operating rule. In Kendale Lakes, where homeowners have learned to be skeptical of $79 duct-cleaning coupons that turn into $900 invoices, that written price is usually the reason we get the call.
We’re independently owned and operated under the Haven Standard, led by Tomas Reyes. Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and identified by name before they arrive. When they finish a job in Kendale Lakes, you receive a documented photo record of every duct run, inside, before and after. That’s a standard deliverable, not an upsell. We also back every job with the 365-Day Done Right Promise: if the work is not right, we make it right, in writing, on every job.
Kendale Lakes homeowners also get something most companies won’t offer: a free second opinion on any written estimate. Bring us a competitor’s quote and we’ll put our own number next to it in writing. No pressure, no phone-game pricing. Just the number, on paper, before you decide.
Our HVAC Cleaning Services in Kendale Lakes
Our HVAC Cleaning team handles the full system, not just the ducts. In Kendale Lakes, the coil and air handler work matters as much as the duct runs themselves. Here’s what we service most often.
Evaporator Coil Cleaning
In canal-adjacent Kendale Lakes homes, the evaporator coil is ground zero for biological buildup. Overnight humidity from open water saturates the air, and the coil’s cold surface pulls that moisture into a wet film that traps Everglades pollen, mold spores, and dust. Within 12-18 months, that film becomes a gray sludge. We clean coils with negative-pressure extraction and apply antimicrobial treatment so the system stops blowing mold back into living spaces. Skipping this step in Kendale Lakes means cleaning ducts that will recolonize within weeks.
Blower Cleaning
The blower motor and wheel pull every cubic foot of air your system moves. When that wheel is caked with debris, airflow drops and your AC runs longer to hit the same temperature. A Kendale Lakes blower in a 1984 rancher we serviced off SW 88th Street was so heavily coated that the homeowner had lost roughly 30% of supply register airflow. After cleaning and rebalancing, the difference was measurable at the register, not just visible in the photos.
Condenser Cleaning
The outdoor condenser coil sheds heat, and in Kendale Lakes it’s collecting a lot more than heat. Cottonwood fluff is rare here, but Everglades pollen, grass clippings, leaf debris from the lakeside oaks, and windblown sediment off the canal banks clog the coil fins fast. A dirty condenser raises head pressure, shortens compressor life, and raises your electric bill. Cleaning it is straightforward, but it needs to be done with coil-safe cleaners, not a garden hose on full blast.
Air Handler Cleaning
Most Kendale Lakes homes built in the last 50 years have attic-mounted air handlers. Unconditioned attics hit 150°F in summer, and that heat accelerates everything: flex-duct liner breakdown, condensation cycles inside supply runs, and debris accumulation around the blower and coil cabinet. We clean the interior of the air handler housing, the drain pan, the coil compartment, and the blower assembly. Then we document it. Your air handler is the heart of the system, and in Kendale Lakes it’s working harder than almost anywhere else in Miami-Dade.

BeforeAfterTrusted Brands We Service in Kendale Lakes
We service all major HVAC brands, but we also run what we clean with. Our crews use professional-grade equipment from Rotobrush and Nikro for source-removal duct cleaning, plus Guardsman antimicrobial treatments for coil and duct applications. If you have a Honeywell media filter cabinet or Aprilaire system, we handle those too. We don’t use truck-mounted shop vacs or drill-a-hole brush toys. The equipment matters because the job in Kendale Lakes is heavier than most: mold-laden ducts need HEPA-filtered negative air, not a rotating brush that knocks spores loose and sends them through the house.
Common HVAC Cleaning Problems We See in Kendale Lakes Homes
- Mold colonization inside flex duct from 40-year-old inner liners. Most Kendale Lakes homes still have their original fiberglass flex duct from the 1970s and 1980s. The inner liner degrades, traps organic matter, and holds moisture. Camera inspection catches the liner tears that brush-only cleaning misses.
- Evaporator coil sludge on canal-front properties. Homes backing onto the lakes or drainage canals get overnight humidity pooling that overwhelms standard filtration. Coils clog with a gray biological film within a year and a half. Coil cleaning is not optional here.
- Post-storm debris intrusion through soffit vents and screen enclosures. After heavy rain or a tropical storm, organic debris and standing-water vapor enter through roof soffits and screen gaps. That material settles in return ducts and coil compartments, then grows. Storm season is our busiest duct-cleaning window in Kendale Lakes.
- Attic heat cycling that accelerates duct liner shedding. Those 150°F attics in Kendale Lakes don’t just cook your AC. The temperature swings break down flex-duct inner liners, and those fiberglass particulates shed directly into your air supply. A visually clean duct can still be shedding microscopic liner material.
Pricing for HVAC Cleaning in Kendale Lakes, FL
Here’s what Kendale Lakes homeowners should expect, in real numbers. A full HVAC cleaning that includes evaporator coil cleaning, blower cleaning, and full duct runs typically runs $425-$650 for an average 1,800-2,400 square foot CBS home. Air handler cleaning alone runs $180-$260. Condenser cleaning runs $110-$180. Coil treatment with antimicrobial application is $95-$150. If you add Kendale Lakes duct replacement on degraded runs, that’s quoted separately after camera inspection, and we’ll show you the liner damage on video before we quote a single dollar. Every price is written before work starts. No per-vent math, no bait coupon, no van-call surprise. Call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll put the full scope in writing.
After the Storm: When Kendale Lakes Ducts Can Be Cleaned, and When They Must Be Replaced
Kendale Lakes sits at the eastern fringe of the Everglades, so its canal-adjacent homes consistently register higher airborne mold-spore counts than neighborhoods just five miles east. That means our HVAC cleaning crews here treat ductwork that colonizes with organic debris faster than almost any comparable South Florida suburb. But there’s a harder question after a storm or canal overflow: do you clean the ducts, or replace them?
The honest answer depends on what the camera shows. If water intruded through the soffit and wetted the flex duct outer jacket but the inner liner remains intact, we can usually clean and dry the run to NADCA standards, then apply antimicrobial treatment. If the liner is already cracked or separated from the insulation, cleaning will not fix it. The fiberglass inside has already absorbed moisture and organic matter. That run needs replacement, and we’ll document exactly why with video and still photos.
After a summer storm backed up the canal behind a home off SW 88th Street, our tech pulled the blower motor from a 1980s CBS rancher and found the evaporator coil choked with a gray sludge of mold and Everglades pollen that had wicked through the original 40-year-old flex duct. We ran negative pressure with HEPA filtration on the supply and return ducts, documented the liner degradation with a camera inspection, and after antimicrobial coil treatment the homeowner’s insurer accepted our report and covered the replacement of the three worst runs. The rest we were able to clean to NADCA standards. That’s the difference between a company that cleans and a company that documents.
Insurers in Miami-Dade do not accept “ducts were dirty” as a claim basis. They accept evidence: dated photographs, moisture readings, liner condition video, and a written scope that separates cleanable from replaceable. We produce that record on every post-storm job in Kendale Lakes because we know exactly what adjusters look for.

FAQs - HVAC Cleaning in Kendale Lakes
We inspect every run with a camera, then we show you the video. If the inner liner is intact and the moisture has not saturated the insulation, cleaning and antimicrobial treatment will usually resolve it. If the liner is cracked, separated, or visibly colonized with mold inside the insulation layer, replacement is the only honest answer. We put both findings in writing so you and your insurer can see exactly what we saw.
Because the overnight humidity from open water keeps the coil wet longer, and that wet film catches airborne organic matter continuously. Kendale Lakes is at the eastern edge of the Everglades, so the pollen load, mold spore count, and biological debris in the air are consistently higher than in neighborhoods closer to the coast. Coil sludge builds in 12-18 months here. Call (806) 606-6902 if your coil hasn’t been inspected in the last two years.
We photograph and record video of every duct run before and after cleaning, note moisture readings, and label each run’s condition: cleanable or replacement. That becomes a written report with dated evidence. Insurers accept documented, verifiable findings. They deny vague claims. Our report is specific, and we’ve had it accepted by homeowners’ insurers in Kendale Lakes on multiple post-storm jobs.
Fiberglass liner particulates, trapped organic debris, and whatever has grown on the inside of a 40-year-old duct that has spent four decades in 150°F attic air. The inner liner degrades over time and sheds microscopic fibers into the airflow. Add mold spores from Kendale Lakes’s canal humidity and you have a dust mix that standard filters don’t catch well. We’ll show you the camera footage before we touch anything, so you can decide with evidence, not a sales pitch.
Yes, and measurably. A blower wheel caked with debris moves less air per rotation. Your system runs longer to reach the thermostat set point. Cleaning the blower, the air handler interior, and the coil restores airflow and reduces runtime. In Kendale Lakes, where systems run essentially 12 months a year, that airflow restoration also cuts electric demand. The difference shows up in register airflow and, for most of our customers, in the next power bill. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written estimate on air handler and blower cleaning.
