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 Royal Palm Beach
HVAC cleaning in Royal Palm Beach runs between $425 and $780 for a full system on a typical 2,000-3,000 square foot single-family home, with most jobs completed in half a day. If you’re noticing fine dust settling on furniture within days of changing filters, or a musty smell when the AC kicks on, your ducts and coil are telling you something. We’ve cleaned systems throughout Royal Palm Beach since 2013, and the failures we see here follow a pattern most coastal contractors never encounter. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written price before any work starts.
Royal Palm Beach isn’t Wellington and it isn’t Lake Worth. The village’s inland position, its subdivision build-out window, and its proximity to the Loxahatchee Refuge create a specific set of conditions that shape how HVAC systems get dirty and how they fail. Our HVAC Cleaning team works these neighborhoods every week, and we document everything with before-and-after photos on every single job.
Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Is Royal Palm Beach’s Preferred HVAC Cleaning Company
We’re independently owned and operated under the Haven Standard, which means three things every Royal Palm Beach homeowner can hold us to: a written price before any work starts, a documented photo record of every duct run when we finish, and a 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. Not a handshake. Not a “trust us.” A clause in the job record with real consequences if the work isn’t right.
Royal Palm Beach homes present a distinct kind of challenge. The village’s planned subdivisions went up fast between the mid-1980s and late 1990s, and a large share still run original builder-grade flex duct. That duct is now 25 to 40 years old. At that age, the inner liner breaks down in ways that aren’t visible from the outside. We find this on camera inspections constantly. Homeowners in RPB call us because they’ve replaced filters, vacuumed registers, and still find a fine layer of dust on every surface. The answer is usually inside the ductwork itself.
Tomas Reyes, who leads our crews, has spent years working Palm Beach County’s inland communities. He knows the difference between a Royal Palm Beach attic in August and one in a beachside condo. The heat load here is different. The humidity is different. And the failure modes are different. That local knowledge is why our written estimates for Royal Palm Beach homes include a camera inspection of the duct runs before we quote a single dollar.
Our HVAC Cleaning Services in Royal Palm Beach
Evaporator Coil Cleaning
The evaporator coil sits inside your air handler and is the single most important surface in the system. In Royal Palm Beach, where AC runs nearly year-round, coils collect a dense biofilm of dust, mold spores, and fiberglass particulate. On a 1989 Willowbrook system we cleaned last spring, the coil was so loaded the homeowner’s pressure differential was causing air to bypass the filter entirely. After pulling and cleaning the coil, static pressure dropped and airflow recovered. Evaporator coil cleaning in Royal Palm Beach typically runs $180-$320 as part of a full system cleaning.
Air Handler Cleaning
Your air handler is the box in the garage, closet, or attic that moves air through the house. When it’s dirty, it spreads whatever it holds into every room. In RPB attics, where summer temperatures climb past 130°F, the air handler also bakes whatever organic material accumulates inside, which is why some houses smell like a wet sock when the system first starts. We vacuum every surface, clean the blower wheel and housing, and sanitize to kill what’s left. Air handler cleaning runs $150-$275 in Royal Palm Beach.
Blower Cleaning
The blower wheel is a squirrel-cage fan that can carry years of caked-on dust. When it’s loaded, it moves less air and burns more electricity. On a 1994 system in Royal Palm Estates, our crew pulled enough matted fiberglass and dust off a blower wheel to fill a gallon bucket. The homeowner had no idea because the return duct was hiding it. Blower cleaning in Royal Palm Beach typically runs $120-$225.
Condenser Cleaning
Your outdoor condenser sits in the heat, but it also sits in grass clippings, pollen from the refuge, and dust kicked up from unpaved roads near the Acreage. When the coil gets coated, your system can’t reject heat and the whole thing works harder. We clean and inspect the condenser coil to restore heat transfer. Condenser cleaning in Royal Palm Beach runs $100-$200 on most residential units.

Common HVAC Cleaning Problems We See in Royal Palm Beach Homes
- Fiberglass particulate from failed flex duct liners. Royal Palm Beach was built out in a tight window from the mid-1980s to late 1990s. That means thousands of homes still run original flex duct now entering its failure wave. Inner liners crack invisibly and blow degraded fiberglass into supply registers. This is the single most common finding on RPB inspections.
- Mold recurrence from wetland-adjacent humidity. The Loxahatchee Refuge sits directly west of the village. Ambient mold spore pressure is higher here than in Palm Beach Gardens or Lake Worth. Ducts in unconditioned attics that run over 130°F with moisture-laden air are a recipe for biological growth that keeps coming back unless the surface is cleaned and treated.
- Collapsed duct runs in older estate homes and outbuildings. RPB acreage properties often have long, poorly supported duct runs to outbuildings or additions. These sag, kink, and collapse, strangling airflow and forcing blower motors to work against high static pressure until they fail prematurely. We find this on estate properties and older subdivisions throughout Royal Palm Beach.
- Fine dust from unpaved roads and open land. Homes near the Acreage or bordering agricultural land deal with constant fine dust infiltration. It coats coils, loads blower wheels, and works its way into every duct run. Cleaning intervals for these homes should be shorter than for homes in the village center.

FAQs - HVAC Cleaning in Royal Palm Beach
Every 2-3 years is realistic for Royal Palm Beach homes near the Loxahatchee Refuge or unpaved Acreage roads, compared to every 4-5 years in more sheltered locations. The wetland humidity keeps mold spore pressure high year-round, and road dust adds a coarse particulate load that coastal homes don’t deal with. Homes with original flex duct from the 1980s-1990s should be inspected even sooner, because liner degradation can release fiberglass regardless of how often you clean. Call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll do a camera inspection to establish a realistic interval for your specific house.
Flex duct is built like a sandwich: an inner liner, a fiberglass insulation layer, and an outer foil jacket. The inner liner on builder-grade duct from the 1980s and 1990s breaks down after 25-40 years of thermal cycling in unconditioned attics, especially in Royal Palm Beach where summer attic temperatures routinely exceed 130°F. The liner develops microtears you cannot see from outside, and those tears expose the fiberglass insulation to the airstream. The duct looks fine on the exterior, but it’s actively shedding particulate into your supply registers. Only a camera inspection inside the duct run shows it. Call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll show you the footage on the spot.
Source removal means connecting a negative-pressure extraction unit to the duct system and physically removing debris where it sits, rather than trying to brush it loose and hope a shop vac catches it. Our Rotobrush and Nikro systems pull air through the ducts at high negative pressure while brushes or air whips agitate the interior surfaces, capturing everything in HEPA filtration before it ever enters your living space. The method we use follows NADCA (National Air Duct Cleaners Association) cleaning standards. After extraction, we photograph every duct run with a camera to document what was removed. The photos and a written record are delivered with every Royal Palm Beach job. Call (806) 606-6902 to get your system scheduled.
Yes. Homes on Royal Palm Beach acreage properties that burn wood produce fine soot and ash that gets pulled into return ducts and deposited throughout the system. That soot coats evaporator coils, loads blower wheels, and mixes with the fiberglass particulate from aging duct liners to create a dense, sticky residue that ordinary vacuuming won’t fully remove. If you burn wood seasonally, plan on cleaning your system in spring after burn season ends. We see this pattern regularly on estate lots throughout Royal Palm Beach’s larger properties. Call (806) 606-6902 and tell us about your wood usage so we can size the job correctly.
Cleaning will remove the organic material mold feeds on, but it won’t fix the humidity that lets mold return. In Royal Palm Beach’s unconditioned attics, temperature swings create condensation inside ducts, especially in the wet season. Cleaning removes existing growth, and coil treatment with an antimicrobial slows re-colonization, but long-term control requires addressing the moisture source. That may mean better attic ventilation, duct insulation repair, or sealing air leaks that pull humid air into the system. We’ll tell you what will actually solve the problem, not just what we can bill for. Call (806) 606-6902 for a camera inspection and a straight answer.
