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 Lehigh Acres
HVAC cleaning in Lehigh Acres typically runs $310-$680 for a full system, including air handler, evaporator coil, blower, and supply plenum, with most homes needing 3-5 hours of work. If your 2005-era flex duct has been through Hurricane Ian moisture or foreclosure-era neglect, the job usually lands on the higher end because the contamination runs deeper. We serve every neighborhood in Lehigh Acres, from Country Club Estates to the communities off Homestead Road and Joel Boulevard, with crews dispatched from our South Florida office. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written price before anything comes off the wall.
Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Is Lehigh Acres’s Preferred HVAC Cleaning Company
We’ve cleaned enough Lehigh Acres systems to know what a 2004 production home’s ductwork looks like inside. Builder-grade flex. Collapsed inner liners. Biological growth that dates back to the foreclosure wave after 2008. Tomas Reyes, who leads our crews, insists every job in Lehigh Acres starts the same way: a camera goes in before a brush does. That’s not theater. That’s how we know whether we’re cleaning salvageable duct or documenting a delamination that needs replacement.
The 365-Day Done Right Promise applies here the same way it does everywhere: if the work isn’t right, we make it right. In writing. On every job. Customers around Lehigh Acres keep our number because they’ve seen the before-and-after photo record we deliver as a standard part of every visit. Not a summary. Not a verbal “looks good.” Photographs of every duct run, inside, before and after.
Response to Lehigh Acres is typically next-day for scheduled cleaning, though we prioritize homes with active mold concerns or post-storm documentation needs for insurance claims. We know the roads: Lee Boulevard as it bends north, Sunshine Boulevard through the older blocks, the grid streets around Williams Avenue where the 2003-2006 builds dominate. Every home is concrete block. Every attic is hot enough to bake the vinyl off flex duct. That’s the job, and we plan for it.
Our HVAC Cleaning Services in Lehigh Acres
Evaporator Coil Cleaning
Your evaporator coil sits above the air handler and condenses moisture out of every cubic foot of air that moves through the house. In Lehigh Acres, where AC runs nearly year-round without the coastal breeze that cools Fort Myers, that coil becomes a wet, dark surface collecting everything the ductwork releases. A 2005-era coil that hasn’t been serviced since the last owner lost the house in 2009 is typically caked with a gray paste of dust and mold spores. We clean it with professional-grade equipment from Rotobrush and Abatement Technologies, then apply a coil treatment that slows recontamination. Price range in Lehigh Acres: $120-$240 as part of a full system cleaning.
Blower Cleaning
The blower wheel moves air across the coil and through your supply runs. When it’s loaded with years of accumulated debris, static pressure rises and airflow drops. You feel it as weak supply at the registers in the far bedrooms, typically the ones farthest from the air handler. In Lehigh Acres homes with post-Ian duct contamination, the blower often carries a layer of fine particulate that recirculates even after the ducts themselves are cleaned. We pull the blower assembly, clean each blade, and photograph the result before reassembly. Blower cleaning in Lehigh Acres runs $90-$180.
Condenser Cleaning
The condenser is the outdoor unit, and in Lehigh Acres it works harder than almost anywhere in Lee County. Inland heat means the condenser coil faces a relentless combination of ambient heat, humidity, and the fine alkaline dust that drifts off unpaved connector roads in the eastern sections of town. When the condenser coil is coated, head pressure climbs, efficiency drops, and the system runs longer to hit the same setpoint. We clean the coil, straighten fins where needed, and clear the drainage path so the unit doesn’t sit in standing water during the rainy season. Condenser cleaning runs $95-$200 depending on condition.
Air Handler Cleaning
This is the most consequential cleaning for post-Ian Lehigh Acres homes. The air handler cabinet, the coil housing, the drain pan, the supply plenum, the return box: this is where storm moisture settles first and where mold establishes a foothold that keeps recontaminating cleaned ducts. We see it constantly in the 2003-2007 builds around Country Club Estates and the neighborhoods off Beth Stacey Boulevard. A camera inspection of the air handler cabinet often reveals what no register-level cleaning ever will. We clean the entire cabinet, the blower housing, the coil, and the drain pan under HEPA-filtered negative pressure, then treat all interior surfaces. Air handler cleaning in Lehigh Acres typically runs $180-$350, and it’s the portion of the job we most often flag as essential on post-storm inspections.

Our equipment roster includes Rotobrush, Nikro, Abatement Technologies, and Guardsman: professional-grade tools you can look up independently before agreeing to a price.

Most jobs are completed same-day.
Common HVAC Cleaning Problems We See in Lehigh Acres Homes
- Post-Ian duct liner delamination. When soffit or roof damage let tropical humidity sit inside attic duct runs for weeks after the storm, the inner liner of builder-grade flex duct starts separating from the insulation wrap. Cleaning feels like it works, but the delaminated liner re-contaminates within months. The only real fix is replacement of affected runs, documented before and after.
- Foreclosure-era biological growth. A large portion of Lehigh Acres homes built 2002-2007 cycled through foreclosure after 2008 and sat vacant with no AC, no humidity control, and sealed-up windows for one, two, sometimes three summers. The mold that grew inside duct runs during those vacant years is still there. It releases on first airflow every time the system cycles.
- Collapsed flex duct from attic heat. Attic temperatures in Lehigh Acres commonly exceed 130°F in July and August. The plastic inner liner of flex duct becomes brittle, cracks, and collapses inward. That reduces airflow and creates pockets where debris accumulates. A camera inspection shows exactly where the runs are crushed and whether cleaning is even physically possible.
- Persistent condensation in the supply plenum. Inland Lehigh Acres doesn’t get the moderating sea breeze that keeps coastal Fort Myers slightly cooler, so systems run longer and pull more humidity. Condensation forms inside supply plenums and at flex duct joints, and that moisture supports biological growth even in a clean system. It’s why we recommend more frequent HVAC cleaning here than in drier inland climates.

FAQs - HVAC Cleaning in Lehigh Acres
The decision comes down to one thing: the condition of the inner liner. If the liner is intact, clean it. If it’s delaminating, separated from the insulation wrap, or sagging, cleaning won’t fix it and replacement is the only option. We run a camera through every affected run and photograph the liner under NADCA standards. Those photos become part of the written documentation we give you for your insurer. Call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll inspect your post-Ian ductwork and tell you plainly what’s salvageable and what isn’t.
Because Lehigh Acres sits inland without the sea breeze that moderates coastal temperatures, summer attic heat regularly exceeds 130°F, and AC systems run longer under heavier load. The relentless runtime combined with constant high humidity creates persistent condensation inside supply plenums and at flex duct joints. That moisture supports mold growth that coastal homes with shorter runtimes simply don’t develop as quickly. In practical terms, a Lehigh Acres home may need HVAC cleaning every two to three years, where a coastal Fort Myers home can often go four to five. It’s a function of geography, not neglect.
You receive a written scope of work, photographs of every affected duct run before and after cleaning, a written assessment of any runs requiring replacement with NADCA-standard documentation, and any measurements or observations that bear on the claim. This is the Documented Photo Record: a standard deliverable on every job, not an add-on. We deliver it with the invoice so you can pass it directly to your adjuster. If you need something more specific for your insurer in Lehigh Acres, tell us before the inspection and we’ll document to their format. Call (806) 606-6902 to set it up.
Frequently, yes. The air handler and evaporator coil can often be cleaned, treated, and restored to service even in homes from the 2002-2007 build years, provided the duct runs themselves are intact. What we won’t do is clean the air handler and call the system healthy while ignoring delaminated or collapsed flex runs that will recontaminate everything within months. That’s the difference between cleaning for a photo and cleaning for a functioning system. We assess both, clean what’s salvageable, and document what isn’t. The air handler cleaning is usually the right first move, and we’ll tell you in writing if the duct replacement is genuinely necessary.
A significant share of the homes built in Lehigh Acres during the 2002-2007 boom went through foreclosure after 2008 and sat vacant, sealed, and unconditioned for years. No AC runtime. No humidity control. South Florida humidity inside a closed concrete-block home for two summers creates biological growth inside the ductwork that remains dormant until the system runs again. New owners often don’t know it’s there, but the first year of airflow releases it into the living space. We see it on camera inspections every week in Lehigh Acres homes from that era. The cleaning is often more intensive than a standard job, but the documentation is the same: photos, written scope, and a price agreed before work begins.
