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 The Hammocks
HVAC cleaning in The Hammocks costs $325-$640 for a complete system cleaning on a typical 1,800-2,600 sq ft concrete-block home, and most jobs run four to six hours. That price includes the evaporator coil, blower assembly, air handler cabinet, and every accessible duct run, documented with before-and-after photos from inside your ductwork. If you’re dealing with the musty odor that hangs around canalside homes near SW 104th Street or along the preserve edges, call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll give you a written price before a single panel comes off.
We work in The Hammocks every week. Our crews know the difference between a 1987 flex-duct system off Hammock Boulevard and a post-1992 rebuild off SW 120th Street, because the age of the duct liner changes how we clean it. That local familiarity matters when you’re deciding whether your ducts need cleaning or replacement.
Key Takeaways:
- Complete HVAC cleaning in The Hammocks typically runs $325-$640, written down before work starts.
- Every duct run is photographed before and after, and the photo record is yours to keep.
- Our 365-Day Done Right Promise is written on every job, not recited as a slogan.
- Homes near the canals and preserves routinely need post-cleaning antimicrobial treatment, and we include it when the camera evidence calls for it.
Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Is The Hammocks’s Preferred HVAC Cleaning Company
We founded CleanRun in 2013 with one practice that still holds on every job: a written price before work begins, and a documented photo record when the crew leaves. That’s Haven Standard Clause 1, and it’s the same in The Hammocks as it is anywhere else we work, handled through our South FL office and served by local crews.
Something specific happens when you clean ductwork in The Hammocks that doesn’t happen in Kendall or Cutler Bay. The return-air boxes routinely show active mold colonies even on homes with no roof leak, no flood, and no visible water intrusion. It’s the spore load from the canal banks and preserve edges. A company that cleans the ducts but skips antimicrobial treatment on the return-air box and air handler cabinet hasn’t actually finished the job here. We document that step in the photo record because your insurer and your lungs both benefit from the evidence.
Tomas Reyes, our owner, has guided the company since the beginning. He’s the one who set the photo-documentation standard after seeing too many homeowners pay for cleaning they couldn’t verify. Every crew that works in The Hammocks carries that same standard.
We get called back to The Hammocks because homeowners see the photos. A blower wheel caked with gray matting before, and bare metal after. A return-air box with black-speckled colonies before, and treated, documented surfaces after. That’s the difference between a truck visit and a record you can hold.
Our HVAC Cleaning Services in The Hammocks
Evaporator Coil Cleaning
In The Hammocks, the evaporator coil is where condensation builds every single day the AC runs, which is most of the year. That constant moisture, combined with spore-heavy air pulled from the canal corridors, turns the coil into a biological trap. A fouled coil re-contaminates every duct run downstream within weeks, no matter how thoroughly the ducts themselves were scrubbed. We pull the coil, photograph the buildup, clean it with professional-grade equipment, and document the result.
Blower Cleaning
The blower wheel inside your air handler is spinning whenever air moves through your home. Over 25 to 40 years of near-continuous operation in a pre-1992 Hammocks home, that wheel accumulates a gray layer of compacted particulate that a visual register check never sees. We clean it, photograph it, and seal the cabinet back up with evidence of the work.
Condenser Cleaning
Your outdoor condenser faces a different enemy here: the heat and humidity off the Everglades edge, plus whatever organic matter the wind carries from the preserve. A condenser clogged with debris and biological film forces the whole system to work harder, which means more moisture drawn through your supply side. We clean it thoroughly and show you the before-and-after.
Air Handler Cleaning
The air handler cabinet is where we consistently find the most serious contamination in The Hammocks homes. This is the box where return air dumps its load before being cooled and redistributed. When the camera shows active mold on the interior surfaces, cleaning alone isn’t enough. We clean, then apply antimicrobial treatment, then photograph the treated surfaces. That sequence is standard practice here, not an add-on.

BeforeAfterTrusted Brands We Service in The Hammocks
We work on systems built around equipment homeowners in The Hammocks actually have: Carrier, Trane, Rheem, Goodman, and Lennox air handlers, with flex-duct and rigid-duct configurations from the 1980s through new construction. Our equipment roster includes Rotobrush negative-air systems, Abatement Technologies HEPA filtration, and Guardsman antimicrobial treatments. These are professional-grade tools you can look up yourself before agreeing to any price. We use them to clean your system, and we photograph what they accomplish.
Common HVAC Cleaning Problems We See in The Hammocks Homes
- Mold in the return-air box with no visible water intrusion. The canal-and-preserve microclimate keeps spore counts high enough that active colonies form without any leak or flood. Post-cleaning antimicrobial treatment is the difference between a clean system and a recolonized one.
- Brittle, fiberglass-lined flex duct in pre-1992 homes. Homes built before Hurricane Andrew code revisions often still run original flex duct whose inner liner has degraded. Camera inspection catches breaches that would otherwise keep releasing insulation and spores into the airstream after cleaning.
- Fouled evaporator coils re-contaminating clean ducts. We clean the coil at the same time as the ductwork. Skipping it means the supply side gets re-seeded within weeks.
- Unsealed flex-duct joints pulling attic air. The Hammocks’s hot, humid attic spaces press moist air into any unsealed junction. Cleaning without sealing dooms the job, so we check joints as part of our documented inspection.
Pricing for HVAC Cleaning in The Hammocks, FL
A full-system HVAC cleaning for a typical The Hammocks home runs $325-$640. Here’s what that breaks down to in this market:
- Evaporator coil cleaning with documentation: $120-$220
- Blower assembly cleaning: $90-$180
- Air handler cabinet cleaning with antimicrobial treatment: $110-$240
- Complete system cleaning (coil, blower, cabinet, all duct runs, photo record): $325-$640
The age of your ductwork matters. Pre-1992 fiberglass-lined flex duct needs gentler agitation and more time to clean without damaging the liner. That doesn’t change the written price you get before work starts; it’s already factored in when we inspect your home and give you the number. Every quote is a written price per system under Haven Standard Clause 1, and we photograph every run before and after. Call (806) 606-6902 for a free estimate and a written scope of work.

FAQs - HVAC Cleaning in The Hammocks
We run a camera through every duct run and photograph what we find. Ducts that can be cleaned show surface contamination on intact liner material. Ducts that must be replaced show delaminated fiberglass liner, standing water inside the duct run, or liner that has deteriorated enough to release fibers into the airstream. The photo record tells the difference in a way an estimate never could, and it’s what your insurer can review.
The Hammocks sits against the Everglades watershed, and the canal network plus the remnant hardwood hammock preserves keep ambient spore counts higher than in neighborhoods just a few miles east. Return-air boxes pull in that spore-heavy air constantly, and the dark, relatively humid interior of the box creates exactly the environment mold needs. Cleanup requires both mechanical cleaning and antimicrobial treatment.
It does, but only when the source of the odor is addressed. The musty smell in Hammocks homes usually originates in the return-air box or on the evaporator coil, not in the duct runs themselves. Cleaning those components and applying antimicrobial treatment removes the biological material causing the odor. If the joints pulling attic air aren’t sealed, the smell will return. We check and seal as part of the job.
Your insurer needs documentation that shows the condition of the ducts before any work was done: date-stamped photos from inside each duct run, clear images of the liner condition, and a written assessment from a company that does this work professionally. Our standard photo record provides exactly that. We photograph every run before replacement and after, and we document the scope in writing so your adjuster sees what we saw.
Yes. Pre-1992 homes often have original fiberglass-lined flex duct whose inner liner has become brittle. Aggressive agitation can damage that liner, so we adjust our method and use gentler tools on older systems. Post-1992 homes typically have more robust liner material, but the spore-heavy air near the canals affects all of them equally. We inspect with a camera first, then decide the approach, and photograph everything either way.
