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 Air Duct Cleaning Across Apopka
Air duct cleaning in Apopka typically costs $380-$690 for a full single-family home, with most jobs completed in a single day. The real question here isn’t whether your ducts have debris in them. It’s what kind of debris, and whether the company you hire knows the difference. Apopka’s legacy as Florida’s Indoor Foliage Capital means local ductwork carries a contamination profile that a technician trained in, say, Orlando or Winter Park may never have encountered. We photograph every duct run before and after, so you see exactly what we found and exactly what we removed. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written price before any work starts.
Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Is Apopka’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
We’ve worked in enough Apopka homes to know what lives inside the ductwork here. Not generically. Specifically. The gray-green mat that forms inside supply plenum boxes in Errol Estate homes built in the 1970s is not the same thing as the drywall dust we pull out of a 2018 tract home off Kelly Park Road. Our technicians recognize both, and we document everything with a camera before a single tool goes in. That photo record is yours, whether you hire us or not.
Every job in Apopka starts with a written price under Haven Standard Clause 1: no estimate, no range, no “we’ll see once we get in there.” The number we write down is the number you pay. Founded in 2013, CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning has served more than 52,000 homes with that same approach. Tomas Reyes, who leads our crews, insists on it. We’re independently owned and operated under the Haven Standard, not a franchise, and every tech who arrives at your Apopka home is background-checked, uniformed, and identified by name before they step through the door.
We also answer the phone. A live person, any hour, which matters when you’re in Rock Springs or Wekiwa Springs and your system starts blowing what smells like a greenhouse floor into the living room.
Our Air Duct Cleaning Services in Apopka
Residential Duct Cleaning
Most Apopka homes we clean are single-family detached houses, but we also handle the townhome clusters near Piedmont Lakes and the condos along Semoran Boulevard. We clean the full duct run: supply and return, plenum boxes, registers, and the air handler chamber. In older homes near the foliage belt, we use HEPA-filtered negative-pressure extraction, because running a standard vacuum on fern-spore-laden ductwork just sends that material back into the room.
Commercial Duct Cleaning
Retail spaces, offices, and medical suites in Apopka face the same humidity and same nursery-air particulates, but with higher occupancy and longer daily run times. We schedule commercial work around your operating hours and provide the same before-and-after photo documentation on every grille and duct run. The equipment roster we use, including Rotobrush agitation tools and Nikro negative-air machines, is the same professional-grade gear you can research independently before signing anything.
Supply Duct Cleaning
Supply ducts carry conditioned air into your rooms. In Apopka, they also carry whatever the blower motor picks up, which in homes near the nursery belt means compressed organic material, and in newer construction means drywall dust and fiberglass insulation fragments from rushed builds. We clean supply ducts from the plenum to the register, and we photograph the inside of the runs at start and finish.
Return Duct Cleaning
Return ducts pull air back to the system. They tend to collect whatever falls through the return grilles: pet hair, skin cells, and in Apopka specifically, a fine layer of peat dust that settles out of the air when the AC runs hard through the humid months. We clean return runs thoroughly and check for leaks and disconnections that pull attic air into the system, a common issue in both 1980s and post-2010 construction.
Full System Cleaning & Video Inspection
Our Air Duct Cleaning team recommends a full system cleaning for most Apopka homes: supply and return runs, plenum, blower assembly, and coil. Before we touch anything, we run a camera through the ductwork. You see what we see. After cleaning, we run it again. The video inspection is part of the job, not an add-on, and the images are included in your documented photo record.

BeforeAfterTrusted Brands We Service in Apopka
We work on systems from every major manufacturer, and we keep Guardsman and Honeywell replacement components available for common Apopka applications, so repair-and-clean jobs don’t stall waiting on parts. Our cleaning equipment runs on Rotobrush and Nikro platforms, both trade-standard for source-removal duct cleaning. If the system has an Aprilaire filter housing or media cabinet, we service and clean around it, not through it. You can look up any of these brands independently and verify what we’re bringing into your home.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Apopka Homes
- The gray-green organic mat in older supply plenums. Homes near the nursery belt and in Errol Estate regularly show a dense, gray-green accumulation inside supply plenum boxes. It’s compressed fern spores and peat dust from decades of foliage operations, and it requires source-removal methods, not a standard vacuum pass.
- Drywall dust and insulation fragments in newer builds. Post-2010 tract homes along the SR-429 and Kelly Park Road corridor often have construction debris inside brand-new ductwork. Rushed builds leave supply and return runs full of drywall dust that eventually restricts airflow and clogs the air handler.
- Attic duct leaks pulling in humid, mold-laden air. Apopka’s inland humidity means attic air is hot and moisture-heavy. Duct connections that were never sealed properly, common in both aging flex-duct systems and quick-built homes, pull that air into the system and into your living space.
- Shared dryer vent stacks in condos and apartments. In multi-unit buildings, a dryer vent stack serving several units can hold debris that’s not yours. Without a camera inspection before cleaning, prior debris from another unit can stay trapped in the shared pathway and keep causing restricted airflow.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Apopka, FL
A typical full-system residential duct cleaning in Apopka runs $380-$690 for a single-family home under 2,500 square feet. Larger homes, or those with substantial foliage-era buildup, run higher. A supply-and-return cleaning without full system work typically falls in the $290-$420 range. Commercial spaces depend on square footage and the number of rooftop units, commonly $450-$900 for small to mid-size spaces. What we do not do: we do not quote a per-vent price and then multiply it once the van is in the driveway. The price we write down before work begins is the price you pay, under Haven Standard Clause 1. If you bring a written estimate from another company, we’ll put our number next to it in writing, free.

FAQs - Air Duct Cleaning in Apopka
Because Apopka was the Indoor Foliage Capital of the World for most of the last century, and the air near the nursery belt carried fern spores, peat dust, and greenhouse particulates for generations. That material settled into ductwork over decades and compressed into a gray-green mat, especially inside supply plenum boxes. Winter Garden, Sanford, and most other Central Florida cities never had that density of foliage operations. The fix is source removal with HEPA-filtered negative pressure, not a standard vacuum pass that would just redistribute the spores through the house. Call (806) 606-6902 for a camera inspection and written price.
Every 3 to 5 years for homes built before 1990 in Apopka’s foliage belt, compared to every 5 to 7 years for newer homes in drier parts of the county. The spores and peat dust deposited over decades don’t just sit idle; they get pulled through the system every time the AC runs, which in Apopka’s humidity is most of the year. If you’ve never had a camera inspection done, start there and see what’s actually inside before scheduling a cleaning. Estimates are free.
Yes, if the building has shared dryer vent stacks or connected duct risers. Without a camera inspection before cleaning, debris from another unit can be pushed further into a shared pathway and restrict airflow for the neighbor’s system. We inspect shared stacks before we clean them, and we document the condition with photos before and after. If you’re in a condo or apartment complex in Apopka, ask the company you’re considering whether they camera-inspect shared vents before starting. We do, every time.
Because the construction crews who built your home likely ran the HVAC system during the build, or left the ducts open while drywall was being sanded and insulation installed. The result is drywall dust and fiberglass fragments inside the supply and return runs from day one. We see this consistently in post-2010 tract homes along the SR-429 and Kelly Park Road corridor in Apopka. A full system cleaning, with camera inspection, resolves it. The builder typically won’t cover duct cleaning after closing, but the written photo record we provide can be useful if you pursue it with the builder.
It can, particularly for households in northwest Apopka near the former muck farms. The restoration work has periodically disturbed and released organochlorine-era agricultural particulates into the air, and those particles settle into HVAC systems just like any airborne debris. Homes closest to the restoration zone, especially those in the northwest quadrant, show an elevated dust load in their return ducts compared to homes further south. If you live in that area and haven’t had your ducts inspected in the last two years, a camera inspection will show you exactly what’s accumulated.
