Air Duct Cleaning in Fort Myers - One Flat Price, Before-and-After Photos

Air Duct Cleaning in Fort Myers, FL

Dryer vent cleaning in Fort Myers is our most-called service here, and the reason is straightforward: half the city’s homes were built between 1975 and 2005 with long flex-duct vent runs through attics that hit 130°F in August, and lint that would burn off in a drier climate just sits there and packs in. Add 57 inches of annual rain and 80% summer humidity, and every vent becomes a moisture trap that turns lint into a dense, flammable mat. Call us at (806) 606-6902 and we’ll give you a written price before anyone touches a register.

Why Fort Myers Homes Are Different

Fort Myers is still living inside Hurricane Ian’s recovery arc. Thousands of homes in low-lying Lee County neighborhoods took surge water deep enough to submerge under-slab return chases and low-mounted air handlers, and when the power came back on, those systems pushed contaminated air through duct runs that looked dry from the outside. That is a Lee County problem, not a Florida-wide one, and it is still active in 2026. On top of that, Fort Myers has one of the largest snowbird populations in the state, which means a normal home in McGregor or Gateway sits empty from May to October with the thermostat at 82°F or higher. Interior humidity climbs, condensation forms inside duct runs, and mold colonizes in places that never dry out. Homes here are mostly 1970s-2000s concrete block with flex ductwork in unconditioned attics; the block holds up, but the duct liner does not, and we find split liner wrap and separated flex joints in Fort Myers attics more often than anywhere else we work. Condo and villa stock along the Caloosahatchee River corridor adds another layer: shared air handlers and common duct chases in mid-rise buildings mean one unit’s duct problem becomes a building problem, and access often requires different equipment than a single-family attic job.

Our Main Fort Myers Services

Fort Myers homeowners call us most often about two things: full air duct cleaning after mold, post-storm contamination, or years of accumulated debris, and HVAC cleaning when a system that runs ten or eleven months a year has never had its coil and blower pulled and cleaned properly. Both are deep jobs here, not quickie vacuum passes.

Air Duct Cleaning in Fort Myers

The post-Ian reality in Fort Myers means many homes need more than a standard rotary-brush pass. We use negative-pressure extraction with camera documentation of every run, and we are looking for what storm surge left behind: silt, sewage residue, and mold growth that starts at the lowest point of the system and spreads upward. If you own a 1980s CBS ranch in Whiskey Creek or a villa near the river, the ductwork has probably never been opened since installation. Full Air Duct Cleaning in Fort Myers details, pricing ranges, and what to expect from a documented cleaning are on that page.

HVAC Cleaning in Fort Myers

Fort Myers runs its AC systems more hours per year than almost any market in the country, and a 2005-era air handler in an unconditioned attic is working against 130°F ambient heat. The coil loads up with biofilm, the blower wheel throws it through the supply side, and the condenser runs longer to hit the same setpoint. HVAC Cleaning in Fort Myers covers coil pull-and-clean scope, blower wheel cleaning, drain pan treatment, and specific pricing for this area’s housing stock.

Dryer Vent Cleaning in Fort Myers

Dryer vent cleaning in Fort Myers is about run length and humidity. A typical 1990s home here routes the dryer vent through the wall, up into the attic, and across 15 to 25 feet of flex duct before it reaches the roof cap. In a dry climate that run stays fluffy; in Fort Myers’s June-to-September wet season, lint absorbs moisture and compacts into a solid plug that restricts airflow, forces the dryer to run longer, and creates the exact conditions for a lint fire. Lint fires in Lee County peak in late summer, not winter, because the material has been baking and desiccating in a 130°F attic for three months. Our Dryer Vent Cleaning work here starts with the same written price and photo record as every CleanRun job, because you should see the inside of your vent before and after we’re done.

Vent Cleaning

Signs you need it

Clothes take two or three cycles to dry fully, the dryer shuts off mid-cycle on its high-limit sensor, or you smell a musty odor when the machine runs.

What it costs in Fort Myers

Standard dryer vent cleaning in Fort Myers typically runs $90 to $170 for a single-story vent run, with longer multi-story or roof-access runs falling in the $150 to $250 range.

How we do it

We run a rotary brush and HEPA vacuum from both the dryer connection and the exterior cap, photograph the before and after of the full run, and hand you the written record when we’re done.

Lint Removal

Signs you need it

Visible lint is protruding from the exterior vent cap, or a previous cleaning did not remove the hardened build-up at the elbows.

What it costs in Fort Myers

Heavy lint removal, where the vent is more than 50% blocked or requires elbow disassembly, typically ranges $120 to $200 in Fort Myers.

How we do it

We disassemble the accessible elbows, mechanically break up the compacted lint mat, extract it with negative pressure, and photograph every section before reassembly.

What Dryer Vent Cleaning Costs in Fort Myers

Run length is the biggest price driver in Fort Myers, because so many vents route through unconditioned attics with 15-foot-plus spans and roof terminations. Every price is written down before work starts, under Haven Standard Clause 1, and there is no per-vent upsell waiting at the door.

How often should dryer vents be cleaned in Fort Myers?

Every 12 months, and more often if you run the dryer daily through the wet season. Fort Myers humidity compacts lint faster than inland Florida, and snowbird homes that sit unused for five months should be cleaned before first use each October.

Do HOAs in Fort Myers require dryer vent cleaning?

Some gated communities in Gateway and along McGregor Boulevard include vent maintenance in their annual exterior inspection checklists, and many attached villa HOAs require it for fire-safety compliance. We provide written documentation for any HOA board that needs proof of service. Call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll give you an exact written price.

Duct Repair & Sealing in Fort Myers

Fort Myers’s 1970s-2000s concrete block homes hide a problem you cannot see from the living room: flex ductwork in unconditioned attics where summer temperatures exceed 130°F and liner wrap degrades, separates at the joints, and opens air leaks that dump conditioned air into the attic. After Ian, a lot of that ductwork also took on water and dried unevenly, which means seams that used to hold are now brittle and pulling apart. We find separated flex duct, failed mastic, and torn insulation in a significant share of Fort Myers attics we open, and the fix is a repair and sealing job that pays for itself in lower cooling bills. Every Duct Repair & Sealing job starts with a camera inspection and a written quote, so you see the break before you approve the fix.

Duct Sealing

Signs you need it

Rooms at the far end of the house never cool like the ones near the air handler, or your summer electric bill climbs while the thermostat stays put.

What it costs in Fort Myers

Duct sealing in Fort Myers typically runs $250 to $500 depending on the number of accessible joints and the amount of mastic and mesh required.

How we do it

We locate every leak with a pressure test, clean the joint surfaces, apply UL-rated mastic and reinforcing mesh, and re-test to confirm the seal.

Flex Duct Repair

Signs you need it

You can see collapsed or kinked flex duct in the attic, or airflow from a vent dropped sharply after a recent hurricane or heavy storm.

What it costs in Fort Myers

Flex duct repair in Fort Myers, including a replacement run, typically runs $180 to $350 per run depending on length and attic access.

How we do it

We cut out the damaged section, replace it with new R-6 or R-8 flex duct matched to your system, seal both connections with mastic, and photograph the finished run.

What Duct Repair & Sealing Costs in Fort Myers

Attic access is what moves these numbers in Fort Myers; a low ranch with a walkable attic is cheaper to work in than a condo chase on the Caloosahatchee corridor. CleanRun gives one flat written price per system before any work starts, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise covers the seal in writing.

Can duct sealing lower my cooling bill in Fort Myers?

Yes. Leaking supply ducts in a Fort Myers attic dump cooled air into a 130°F space, forcing the condenser to run longer. Sealed ducts can cut that loss measurably, and we document the before-and-after pressure readings for your records. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written quote.

How do I know if my ducts took water during Hurricane Ian?

If your air handler or return chase sat below storm surge level, the duct interior may hold silt, dried sewage residue, or mold even if the outside looks intact. A camera inspection shows exactly what the inside of each run looks like before you spend anything on repairs.

Air Quality & Sanitizing in Fort Myers

Air quality work in Fort Myers is driven by two Lee County realities: post-Ian duct contamination that keeps cycling spores through living spaces, and the annual snowbird vacancy cycle that lets humidity do its worst inside unoccupied homes for five straight months. When a system runs 10 or 11 months a year and the ducts have never been treated, microbial load becomes an indoor air problem, not a hypothetical one. We approach Air Quality & Sanitizing here as a measured, evidence-based service: test first, document what the sampling shows, apply the appropriate treatment, and re-test to prove the result.

Mold Treatment

Signs you need it

Musty odor returns within days of cleaning, or visible mold is present on register faces, inside the plenum, or on the blower housing.

What it costs in Fort Myers

Mold treatment in Fort Myers, including full duct cleaning and antimicrobial application, typically ranges $450 to $850 depending on system size and severity.

How we do it

We kill the active growth with an EPA-registered antimicrobial, remove the dead material with negative-pressure extraction, then apply a preventative treatment and re-test to confirm clearance.

UV Light Installation

Signs you need it

Recurring coil or drain pan growth despite regular cleaning, or a household member has documented mold sensitivity and wants continuous microbial control.

What it costs in Fort Myers

UV light installation in Fort Myers, including the lamp and labor, typically runs $350 to $600 for a standard residential air handler.

How we do it

We mount the UV lamp in the supply plenum or at the coil, hard-wire it to the air handler, confirm the line of sight covers the coil face, and document the install with photos.

What Air Quality & Sanitizing Costs in Fort Myers

Post-Ian contamination and long vacancy cycles are what push air quality costs up in Fort Myers, because the treatment has to address active growth, not just mask odor. We use Aprilaire and Honeywell filtration equipment and Guardsman antimicrobials, and every job ends with a documented photo record and a written re-test report.

Is mold in Fort Myers ducts worse than in other Florida cities?

It can be. Homes that took storm surge from Ian often have contamination in the lowest duct runs that keeps re-seeding the system, and snowbird vacancies create five-month humidity incubators every summer. That combination is specific to this market.

Can I get my ducts tested before committing to sanitizing?

Yes. We offer air sampling and surface swab testing as a standalone service so you can see documented lab results before deciding on treatment. Call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll write up a testing scope with a firm price.

Brands We Service in Fort Myers

Most Fort Myers systems we open are built around Honeywell and Aprilaire filtration or zoning components, and we stock replacement filters, UV lamps, and Guardsman treatment products for those brands locally. Our brands page lists what we service, and parts for common Honeywell and Aprilaire units are usually on the truck, not ordered in.
