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 Plantation
HVAC cleaning in Plantation usually runs between $450 and $900 for a complete system, and the job typically takes four to six hours when done properly. At CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning, we schedule Plantation jobs every week, and every one starts with a written price before a single panel comes off. If you’re noticing dust settling on furniture within days of cleaning, weak airflow from ceiling registers, or a musty smell when the AC kicks on, call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll walk you through what’s happening in plain terms.
Plantation’s housing stock is different from what most HVAC companies are used to elsewhere in Broward County. Most homes were built between the 1960s and 1980s, and a lot of them still run on their original duct materials. That changes what a cleaning actually involves here, and it’s why we approach every Plantation job as an inspection first.
Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Is Plantation’s Preferred HVAC Cleaning Company
Tomas Reyes founded CleanRun in 2013 on a rule that hasn’t changed since: no technician steps onto a property without a written price, and no crew leaves without a photo record of every duct run. Plantation homeowners call us because that rule answers the exact problem this industry created. You’ve seen the $79 coupons. You’ve heard the stories about a two-hour job turning into a $1,900 invoice. We put our number in writing before work starts, under Haven Standard Clause 1, and the price we quote is the price you pay.
Our crews have worked in Plantation Gardens, Plantation Isles, and the neighborhoods off Broward Boulevard and Nob Hill Road long enough to know what’s actually inside these homes. It’s not the same as a five-year-old house in Weston. It’s 40-year-old flex duct in attics that hit 130 degrees in July. We document what we find with a camera before we touch anything, because you deserve to see the condition of your ductwork with your own eyes. Every Plantation job includes that photo record as a standard deliverable, not an upsell.
We’re independently owned and operated, and every tech who pulls up to a Plantation home is background-checked, uniformed, and identified by name before arrival under Haven Standard Clause 3. When you book, you’ll know exactly who’s coming and exactly what the job costs.
Our HVAC Cleaning Services in Plantation
Evaporator Coil Cleaning
In Plantation’s subtropical climate, the evaporator coil runs essentially year-round, pulling moisture out of the return air and giving dirt and mold a wet, sticky surface to cling to. A standard evaporator coil cleaning in Plantation runs $180 to $340 as part of a full-system job. We use professional-grade equipment from Rotobrush and Abatement Technologies to clean the coil without dislodging contamination into the supply side of the system.
Blower Cleaning
The blower is the fan that pushes conditioned air through your ductwork, and in Plantation homes with original 1970s and 1980s systems, it’s often coated in years of accumulated dust and fiberglass particles shed from degrading duct board. Blower cleaning typically adds $120 to $200 to a Plantation HVAC cleaning job. A dirty blower moves less air, which means your system works harder and pulls more humid attic air into gaps around the air handler.
Condenser Cleaning
Your outdoor condenser sits in South Florida weather all year, collecting dirt, lawn debris, and salt-laden air that drifts inland from the Atlantic. Condenser cleaning in Plantation runs $100 to $180, and it’s a straightforward job that makes a measurable difference in how efficiently your system sheds heat. A clogged condenser coil runs higher head pressure, which shortens compressor life and raises your FPL bill every month.
Air Handler Cleaning
The air handler enclosure is where the coil, blower, and return plenum meet, and in Plantation’s humid environment, it’s a natural collection point for moisture, dust, and biological growth. Air handler cleaning in Plantation typically runs $200 to $400 depending on access and condition. We photograph the inside of the handler before and after so you can see the difference between a surface wipe and actual source removal.

BeforeAfterTrusted Brands We Service in Plantation
We work on all major HVAC equipment found in Plantation homes, including Carrier, Trane, Rheem, Goodman, and Lennox systems, and we clean and service them all the same way: with documented attention to the ductwork and coils these systems depend on. Because so many Plantation homes run on original duct board and early flex duct, we keep compatible replacement materials and splice connectors on our trucks for the repair work these aging systems frequently need. When our techs identify a collapsed flex section during a cleaning, we can typically repair it the same day rather than scheduling a second visit. Our equipment includes Abatement Technologies HEPA filtration and Rotobrush agitation tools so the cleaning itself doesn’t blow debris back into your living space.
Common HVAC Cleaning Problems We See in Plantation Homes
- Collapsed and delaminated flex duct in attics. In neighborhoods like Plantation Gardens and Plantation Isles, we routinely find decades-old flex duct where the inner plastic liner has separated from the insulation jacket, creating debris pockets that a standard vacuum pass cannot reach.
- Fiberglass duct board shedding into the airstream. Plantation’s original planned developments used fiberglass duct board extensively. After 40-60 years in 130-degree attics, the internal surface degrades and releases fiberglass particles that settle on registers and furniture.
- Mold colonization from year-round AC operation. Because Plantation’s central AC runs 11-12 months per year, moisture never fully evaporates from the return side of the system. The elevated ground humidity near the Arthur R. Marshall Loxahatchee water conservation area makes this worse, and mold becomes a persistent problem without proper source removal.
- Disconnected or crushed duct sections pulling attic air. When duct sections sag or separate in a hot attic, the system pulls in unconditioned air full of insulation particles and dust. Cleaning the coil and blower without sealing those gaps means recontamination within weeks.

FAQs - HVAC Cleaning in Plantation
Plantation’s original flex duct was installed in the 1970s and 1980s, and attics here routinely reach 130-140°F during the worst months. That sustained heat bakes the inner plastic liner until it separates from the outer insulation jacket, which is the failure we see most often in Plantation Gardens and other original planned neighborhoods. Once that separation happens, the duct loses its shape and traps debris in collapsed sections that a standard cleaning cannot reach. Call (806) 606-6902 if you suspect your home still has original duct runs; we’ll camera-inspect before recommending any cleaning.
You can look for three signs: weak or uneven airflow from registers, rooms that never reach the thermostat setpoint, and visible sagging or kinking in duct lines if your attic is walkable. The definitive answer comes from a camera inspection, which is why CleanRun photographs every duct run before any cleaning begins. If we find collapsed sections, we’ll show you the images and give you a repair price in writing before proceeding. Call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll schedule the inspection as part of your free estimate.
Yes, but it requires containment and the right method. Aggressive brushing on failing fiberglass duct board can dislodge aged fibers into the supply airstream, so our crews use negative-pressure source removal with HEPA filtration from Abatement Technologies. The negative pressure pulls loosened debris toward the vacuum source rather than pushing it into your home, and the before-and-after photo record shows exactly what was removed. If the duct board is too degraded to clean safely, we’ll tell you that directly and quote a repair or replacement in writing. Call (806) 606-6902 for an assessment that doesn’t start with a sales pitch.
It’s worth it precisely because your AC runs all year. Plantation’s central systems recirculate air continuously, depositing dust, skin cells, and fiberglass particles inside ductwork at a rate far exceeding seasonal-climate cities. When the system runs constantly, that debris cycles through your living space over and over. The cleaning also gives us a chance to find the real problem, which in older Plantation homes is often disconnected or crushed attic runs that pull insulation and humidity into the system. Call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll tell you honestly whether your specific system needs cleaning or something else entirely.
Your technician arrives on schedule in a CleanRun uniform with identification, walks the property with you, and reviews the written scope of work before anything gets touched. We photograph the inside of every duct run before cleaning begins, then run negative-pressure source removal with HEPA filtration on both supply and return lines. You’ll see after-photos of every run when we finish, and the full photo record is delivered as part of the standard job record, not an extra. The 365-Day Done Right Promise applies to every Plantation job in writing: if the work isn’t right, we make it right. Call (806) 606-6902 to request a free estimate.

- Plantation’s original 1960s-80s duct systems often have collapsed flex sections and failing fiberglass duct board that require inspection and repair before cleaning can be done safely.
- Cleaning without first camera-inspecting for crushed or delaminated flex duct can push debris into hidden kinks and dead-end runs, leaving the system dirtier than before.
- Every CleanRun job in Plantation includes a Documented Photo Record of every duct run, before and after, as a standard deliverable under the H.A.V.E.N. Standard.
