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 West and East Lealman
HVAC cleaning in West and East Lealman means dealing with a specific set of problems: decades-old flex duct that has sagged or collapsed in attic installs, fiberglass duct board that has absorbed Pinellas County humidity for 30 to 60 years, and air handlers that cycle 9 to 10 months out of the year. We know these homes because we work in them every week. If your system is blowing dust, smelling musty, or struggling to cool rooms evenly, call (806) 606-6902. We provide a written price before any work starts, and you get a documented photo record of every duct run when we leave.
Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Is West and East Lealman’s Preferred HVAC Cleaning Company
West and East Lealman sit on the Pinellas Peninsula, flanked by Tampa Bay and the Gulf. That geography traps humidity at levels that make duct contamination worse here than in nearly any other part of the Tampa Bay metro. Most homes in these two unincorporated CDPs were built between 1950 and 1975, which means the original or first-replacement duct systems are now 50 to 75 years old. We see what that age does in real time: fiberglass duct board liners that have turned spongy, flex runs that have kinked into V-shapes, and blower wheels coated in a fine gray paste of dust and condensation.
Tomas Reyes, who leads our crews, has worked these neighborhoods long enough to know that a standard cleaning job here often requires fixing duct geometry before extraction can be done properly. That is why our HVAC Cleaning team always inspects the attic before quoting. We do not sell a visit. We sell a documented result, and we stand behind it with the 365-Day Done Right Promise: if it is not right, we make it right, in writing, on every job.
Every technician who arrives at your door in West or East Lealman is background-checked under Haven Standard Clause 3, uniformed, and identified by name before any work begins. We answer the phone with a live person, and we hand you a written scope of work before a single panel comes off.
Our HVAC Cleaning Services in West and East Lealman
Evaporator Coil Cleaning
The evaporator coil sits inside your air handler and is the coldest surface in your system. In Lealman’s humidity, that coil condenses moisture constantly for most of the year, and dust from unpaved side roads in East Lealman and the open lots that dot both CDPs sticks to that wet surface. A fouled coil reduces cooling capacity and causes the system to run longer, which pulls more humid air across the coil. We remove the coil, clean it with professional-grade agents compatible with aluminum and copper, and photograph it before and after.
Blower Cleaning
The blower wheel is what pushes conditioned air through your ducts. In 1950s and 1960s concrete block homes off 54th Ave N and throughout West Lealman, we routinely find blower wheels caked with years of accumulated dust, pet hair, and sometimes mold. A dirty blower moves less air, which compounds the effect of any duct restriction. We pull the blower assembly, clean the wheel and housing, and document the work. The difference in airflow is measurable on the spot.
Condenser Cleaning
Your outdoor condenser unit in West and East Lealman sits in one of the most corrosive environments in Florida: salt air from the Gulf on one side, fine dust from unpaved roads on the other, and high humidity year-round. We clean condenser coils with low-pressure water and coil-safe detergents, clear the base pan, and check fin integrity. A clean condenser sheds heat more efficiently, which matters when your A/C runs for nine months straight.
Air Handler Cleaning
Air handlers in Lealman are frequently installed in garages or attics, which means they breathe whatever the Peninsula air holds: moisture, salt, dust, and mold spores. We clean the interior cabinet, the drain pan, the coil, and the blower as a single job, because cleaning one component while leaving the others contaminated means re-contamination within a single cooling season. This is the single most important service for homes with musty smells that return weeks after a duct cleaning.

BeforeAfterTrusted Brands We Service in West and East Lealman
We work on systems from every major manufacturer, and we use professional-grade equipment from Rotobrush, Nikro, and Guardsman on our jobs. What that means for you in West and East Lealman is that the extraction equipment we use is the same class of gear used in commercial remediation work, not a shop vacuum with a rotating brush attached. When a job calls for treating mold on a coil or duct board, we use EPA-registered products from recognized manufacturers and document the label and application in your photo record.
Common HVAC Cleaning Problems We See in West and East Lealman Homes
- Collapsed flex duct in attic installs. Homes built on slabs in the 1950s through 1970s often have air handlers in the attic, with flex ducts that have sagged, kinked, or partially collapsed over 30-plus years. These kinks trap debris and make standard cleaning incomplete until the duct geometry is corrected.
- Moisture-rotted fiberglass duct board. The original duct board in many Lealman homes has absorbed decades of peninsula humidity. It becomes spongy, sheds particles, and cannot be safely cleaned with aggressive rotary brushes, which can shred the liner and release more fibers into the air stream.
- Mold in air handlers and ducts. With A/C running 9 to 10 months per year and dew points that rarely drop low enough to dry things out, mold colonization inside flex duct and on evaporator coils is a regular finding here, far more common than in inland Florida markets.
- Dust and pollen loading from unpaved roads. Parts of East Lealman have unpaved side streets and open lots that generate fine particulate dust. That dust gets pulled into return ducts and coats coils, blowers, and duct interiors faster than in newer, more fully paved subdivisions.
Pricing for HVAC Cleaning in West and East Lealman, FL
We quote every job as a written price per system before any work begins. That is Haven Standard Clause 1, and it is the whole point: you know the number before we touch anything. A full HVAC cleaning on a typical 1,000 to 1,400 square foot concrete block home in West and East Lealman, including air handler, blower, evaporator coil, and all accessible duct runs, generally falls between $695 and $1,250 depending on the number of runs, the condition of the ductwork, and whether duct geometry corrections are needed. Air handler cleaning alone typically runs $250 to $400. Evaporator coil cleaning is usually $180 to $300. If we find collapsed flex duct that must be re-supported or replaced before cleaning can be effective, that is quoted separately and in writing before the work starts.
If you have a written estimate from another company, bring it to us. We will put our number next to it in writing. That is our Free Second Opinion, and it costs you nothing. Call (806) 606-6902 and we will schedule an attic inspection first, because quoting without seeing the duct geometry in Lealman is how callbacks happen.

FAQs - HVAC Cleaning in West and East Lealman
In West and East Lealman, every 3 to 5 years is the realistic interval for most homes, and some properties off unpaved roads in East Lealman need it every 2 to 3 years. That frequency is higher than the national average because the Peninsula’s near-constant humidity accelerates mold growth and dust adhesion inside ducts. Homes with pets, smokers, or a recent construction project should lean toward the shorter end. If you have not had your ducts inspected in more than five years, start with a camera inspection, not a cleaning quote. Call (806) 606-6902 and we will show you what is actually inside your ducts before you spend a dollar on cleaning.
Yes, but only with the right method. Original fiberglass duct board from the 1960s is often moisture-damaged after 50-plus years in Pinellas humidity, and aggressive rotary brush cleaning can shred the liner and release fibers into your air. We assess the duct board’s condition with a camera before choosing an extraction method. In cases where the board has deteriorated, we will recommend targeted sealing or replacement of those sections and quote that work separately in writing. Call (806) 606-6902 and we will photograph what we find.
Yes. Outbuilding and garage systems in West and East Lealman are typically shorter duct runs, but they often have worse contamination because the spaces are not conditioned year-round and the equipment sits idle for long stretches. Mobile and manufactured homes in the CDPs have entirely different duct configurations, usually belly-wrap or short trunk-and-branch runs, which require different extraction techniques than traditional attic systems. We quote these separately from the main house and will not charge you for a one-size-fits-all approach. Get a written price by calling (806) 606-6902.
It will remove the dust that has accumulated inside your ducts, but it will not stop new dust from entering if your return system is pulling unfiltered air from an unpaved driveway or open lot. In parts of East Lealman, we recommend adding or upgrading return-side filtration in conjunction with cleaning, because the fine particulate from unpaved roads will re-load cleaned ducts within a season or two otherwise. We will show you the dust loading on your blower and coil in the before photos and recommend filtration upgrades only if the evidence supports it. Call (806) 606-6902 for an inspection.
Because the company cleaned the ducts but left the air handler, blower, or evaporator coil untouched. In Lealman’s 9 to 10 month cooling season, mold and bacteria on those components re-contaminate cleaned ducts within weeks. That is exactly why our HVAC cleaning includes the air handler, blower, and coil as part of the same job. We also document the interior of each component with before and after photos so you can verify the work was actually done. If you had a recent cleaning and the smell returned, call (806) 606-6902 and we will camera-inspect the air handler before quoting anything.
What West and East Lealman Homeowners Should Know Before Hiring Anyone
Here is the fact a generic HVAC cleaning page will not tell you: West and East Lealman are unincorporated Pinellas County, which means there is no municipal code enforcement for duct integrity. In practice, that means flex duct runs installed 30 or 40 years ago have never been inspected by anyone, and a large share of them have sagged, kinked, or partially collapsed in attic installs. We arrived at a 1963 concrete block home off 54th Ave N in West Lealman where the original fiberglass duct board had turned spongy from decades of Peninsula humidity. Our camera inspection showed a 12-foot flex run to the spare bedroom had sagged into a V-shape, collecting a thick mat of dust and mold. We re-supported the duct, then used a Rotobrush with HEPA-filtered negative pressure to remove the source contamination from the supply and return ducts. Airflow to that room increased by over 40%.
Quoting a cleaning job without an attic inspection first is how you end up paying for a service that does not solve the problem. If the duct geometry is wrong, no amount of brushing will fix it. That is why our process in West and East Lealman always starts with an inspection, always includes a written price, and always ends with a photo record of every run. No exceptions.
If you want a straight answer about what is in your ducts and what it will cost to fix, call (806) 606-6902 today. We will schedule an inspection, put a written price in your hand, and show you the evidence before and after. That is how CleanRun has operated since 2013, and that is what you get in West and East Lealman.
