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 Delray Beach
HVAC cleaning in Delray Beach typically costs between $425 and $890 for a full system cleaning of a condo or smaller single-family home, with larger barrier-island properties running higher. Most jobs are completed in half a day, and we schedule around condo association quiet hours. If your AC has been running ten months a year and the registers haven’t been opened since you bought the place, call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll give you a written price before a single panel comes off.
Delray Beach is a city where the AC almost never stops. Humidity sits above 80% most mornings, attics cook at 130°F or more, and the salt off the Atlantic works its way into everything metal. We know the difference between a condo unit at Kings Point with original 1980s flex duct and a 2018 build east of Federal Highway, because we’ve opened hundreds of both. That local knowledge changes what we look for, what we recommend, and what we write down on the quote before any work starts.
Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Is Delray Beach’s Preferred HVAC Cleaning Company
We’re not the cheapest HVAC cleaning option in Delray Beach, and we don’t try to be. What we do is write down exactly what we’ll do, photograph the inside of every duct run before and after, and stand behind the result for a full year under our 365-Day Done Right Promise. Delray Beach homeowners, especially those in the western 55+ communities, tend to ask harder questions than most. They want to see the evidence. We’ve built our entire process around that.
Our technicians arrive at Delray Beach homes background-checked, uniformed, and identified by name. They carry professional-grade equipment from Rotobrush, Nikro, and Abatement Technologies, and they follow the H.A.V.E.N. Standard on every job. Haven Standard Clause 1 is simple: a written price before any work starts. Clause 3: Verified Crews. No exceptions, no “we’ll see once we get in there.” You get your number in writing, and if you have a competitor’s written estimate, bring it. We’ll put our own number next to it, free of charge.
Tomas Reyes, who leads our team, has spent more than a decade looking at what actually comes out of South Florida ductwork. He’ll be the first to tell you that the industry has a credibility problem, and the only fix is documentation. Every Delray Beach job ends with a photo record of every duct run, delivered to you as part of the standard service. If it’s not photographed, it didn’t happen.
Our HVAC Cleaning Services in Delray Beach
Our HVAC Cleaning team handles the full system, not just the visible registers. In Delray Beach’s sealed-up, AC-dependent homes, the components that matter most are the ones you can’t see without a camera. Here’s what we cover:
Evaporator Coil Cleaning
The evaporator coil sits above your air handler and gets cold while your AC runs. In Delray Beach humidity, that coil stays wet for most of the year, which means it collects a biofilm of dust, mold spores, and whatever else moves through your return ducts. A dirty coil doesn’t just carry contamination into your air; it forces your system to work harder, which in South Florida means higher bills and a shorter equipment life. We clean coils with professional coil cleaners and photograph them before and after. For a Kings Point owner running AC eleven months a year, this is often the single biggest air quality improvement we make.
Blower Cleaning
The blower motor is the fan that pushes conditioned air through your ducts. After forty years of continuous use, a blower wheel can carry enough caked dust to reduce airflow by a measurable amount. In Delray Beach’s retirement-era condos, we regularly find blower wheels that look like they’ve never been touched. That caked-on dust isn’t just an efficiency problem; it’s material that re-enters your airstream every time the fan spins up. We remove the blower assembly, clean the wheel and housing, and document the result.
Condenser Cleaning
The condenser is the outside unit, and in Delray Beach it lives in salt air, landscaping debris, and relentless sun. Coastal corrosion on the fins reduces heat exchange, which drives up runtime and puts more strain on everything upstream. We clean condenser coils with equipment rated for the salt environment near the barrier island, and we’ll tell you honestly if the corrosion has gone past the point where cleaning will help.
Air Handler Cleaning
The air handler is the box that houses the blower, the evaporator coil, and usually the filter. It’s the heart of the system, and in Delray Beach’s 1970s and 1980s condo stock, it’s usually tucked in a closet or a superheated attic chase. We clean the entire air handler interior: drain pan, blower, coil, and housing. If the drain pan is cracked or the insulation inside the cabinet has degraded, we’ll tell you and give you a written price for repair before any work starts. A clean air handler is the baseline for any meaningful air quality improvement in a Delray Beach home.

BeforeAfterTrusted Brands We Service in Delray Beach
We work on every major HVAC brand you’ll find in Delray Beach homes: Carrier, Trane, Rheem, Goodman, Lennox, and York among them. We also stock the parts Delray Beach jobs most often need, so when our camera inspection turns up a collapsed flex run or a rusted register boot, we can often fix it the same day rather than scheduling a follow-up. Our equipment roster includes Rotobrush for source removal, Nikro HEPA-filtered agitation tools, and Abatement Technologies negative air machines. These are names you can look up independently. We’d rather you know exactly what we’re using before we arrive.
Common HVAC Cleaning Problems We See in Delray Beach Homes
- Crumbling duct liner in 1970s-1980s flex duct. South Florida attic heat, regularly exceeding 130°F, degrades the fiberglass liner inside original flex duct. After 40 years, that liner delaminates and sheds particles directly into your airstream. We see this constantly in Kings Point and the other western 55+ communities.
- Mold and microbial growth from constant humidity. When your AC cycles off, even briefly, Delray Beach’s 80%-plus ambient humidity moves into the ductwork. On degraded duct liner, that moisture promotes mold growth that then recirculates every time the system kicks back on.
- Salt-air corrosion on metal components. Homes east of Federal Highway, particularly on the barrier island, get years of salt exposure that accelerates rust on supply plenums, register boots, and condenser fins. Cleaning reveals the damage, and we photograph it so you can make an informed repair decision.
- HOA maintenance confusion. Delray Beach condo owners often assume their HOA’s exterior maintenance schedule covers the interior HVAC system. It almost never does. The result is 40-year-old ductwork that has never been inspected, let alone cleaned, while the owner pays for exterior upkeep they think includes it.
Pricing for HVAC Cleaning in Delray Beach, FL
A full HVAC cleaning on a Delray Beach condo, covering the supply ducts, return ducts, air handler, blower, and evaporator coil, typically runs $425 to $720 depending on unit size and accessibility. Single-family homes in neighborhoods like Lake Ida or Seagate run $650 to $890, and larger barrier-island properties with multiple systems go higher. Air handler cleaning alone runs $225 to $390. Blower cleaning as a standalone service runs $150 to $280.
Our commercial-grade duct cleaning runs between $450 and $800 for most Delray Beach homes, and the price we write down before we start is the price you pay. That’s the entire point of Haven Standard Clause 1. The written price is based on what we can see: number of systems, number of returns, accessibility. If we find something beyond the scope, we stop, show you the camera footage, and write a new price. You decide before any work continues.
We don’t do per-vent pricing, and we don’t do bait coupons. The price on your written estimate is a whole-system price, agreed before work starts, under Haven Standard Clause 1. Call (806) 606-6902 for a free estimate.
Our commercial-grade duct cleaning runs between $450 and $800 for most Delray Beach homes, which includes the air handler, blower, evaporator coil, return drop, and every reachable supply run. Condos in Kings Point and similar western communities tend toward the lower end; barrier-island homes with multiple returns and hard-to-reach attic access trend higher. We also handle dryer vent cleaning, as clogged dryer vents are a year-round fire risk, particularly in older Delray condos where the vent run may be ten feet or more through an attic chase. The price we write before any work starts is the price you pay.

FAQs - HVAC Cleaning in Delray Beach
Every 3 to 5 years is a good baseline, but in Delray Beach’s 55+ communities where the AC runs ten to eleven months annually, we recommend a camera inspection every 2 years if you’ve never had it done. Original 1970s-1980s flex duct in Kings Point and similar western communities often needs source removal rather than a surface cleaning, and the camera tells you which one you’re dealing with. Call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll put an inspection on your schedule.
Yes, when the dust is coming from inside the ductwork, which is common in Delray Beach’s retirement-era condos where original duct liner has been degrading for decades. If the dust is coming from outside the system, unsealed window frames, a dirty return grille, or general household dust, cleaning the ducts won’t eliminate it. Our camera inspection shows you exactly what’s inside your runs, so you know what the cleaning will and won’t fix before you spend a dollar.
Because the HOA maintains the exterior and common areas, which creates a false assumption that the interior HVAC system is also being serviced. It isn’t. We’ve opened Kings Point units where the flex duct was original to the building, the liner had delaminated, and the owner had lived there for two decades without knowing. The discovery usually happens when a buyer’s inspector flags it or a resident develops persistent respiratory symptoms. A camera inspection costs less than a co-pay for a specialist visit and tells you what you’re actually breathing.
Cleaning the supply and return ducts removes accumulated debris from the runs themselves. Cleaning the air handler means removing the blower, cleaning the wheel and housing, cleaning the evaporator coil, and clearing the drain pan. A Delray Beach condo can have spotless duct runs and still recirculate contamination from a dirty blower or a moldy coil. We clean both, and we photograph both, because in a climate like this, half a cleaning is no cleaning at all. Delray Beach and nearby cities like Boynton Beach and Boca Raton share the same relentless humidity, and the system responds the same way.
Salt air accelerates corrosion on every exposed metal component: condenser fins, supply plenums, register boots, even the fasteners holding your ductwork together. Homes east of Federal Highway need more frequent condenser cleaning and earlier replacement of rusted components. The good news is that cleaning reveals the corrosion early, and our photo record documents it so you can plan replacement on your schedule rather than discovering a rusted-through plenum the week you list the house.
If your Delray Beach condo or home still has original ductwork from the 1970s or 1980s, or if you’ve never actually seen the inside of your air handler, start with an inspection. Call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll give you a written estimate, a camera look inside your system, and an honest answer about what cleaning will and won’t change. We’ve been doing this since 2013, and we’ve served more than 52,000 homes with the same promise: written price first, documented proof after.
