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 Fountainebleau
HVAC cleaning in Fountainebleau typically runs $380-$780 for a full system clean on a two-bedroom condo, with air handler cleaning adding $150-$300. Most jobs we book in Fountainebleau’s concrete-block condo buildings take four to six hours because the work involves more than brushing out branch ducts. The real culprit in this neighborhood is age: original flex ductwork from the 1960s-1980s shedding fiberglass, disconnecting at joints, and feeding a constant stream of debris through your air handler. If you live in Fountainebleau and your registers collect gray dust two weeks after you wipe them, the issue is almost certainly upstream of the vent covers. Call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll send a crew that photographs every duct run before and after, so you can see exactly what was there and what changed.
Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Is Fountainebleau’s Preferred HVAC Cleaning Company
We’ve spent years working inside Fountainebleau’s oldest condo and apartment buildings, and we know what is hiding above those drop-tile ceilings. Our team has pulled disconnected flex duct out of ceiling cavities near Fontainebleau Boulevard and SW 8th Street more times than we can count. Tomas Reyes, who leads our crews, has a standing rule: no surface-only cleaning, ever. If the air handler is accessible, we open it. If the duct run looks collapsed, we show you the camera footage before we quote the fix.
Our work in Fountainebleau is backed by the 365-Day Done Right Promise, written into every job record. That means if mold regrowth appears within a year or a section we sealed comes apart, we return and correct it. No manager approval, no argument. The photo record we hand you at the end of every visit is your documentation, not ours. You will see the plenum, the coil, the blower housing, and each duct run as they looked when we arrived and when we left.
We also operate under Haven Standard Clause 1: a written price before any work starts. You will not get a phone estimate, then a different number when the van shows up. The quote Tomas Reyes signs is the price you pay. That applies to every job in Fountainebleau, every time.
Our HVAC Cleaning Services in Fountainebleau
Evaporator Coil Cleaning
In Fountainebleau’s humid buildings, evaporator coils collect a wet, fibrous mat of dust and mold within a single cooling season. When a coil is fouled, the AC runs longer, pulls more amperage, and dehumidifies poorly. That is why indoor relative humidity in some Fountainebleau units stays above 70% even with the thermostat set low. Our coil cleaning removes the biological film with professional-grade coil cleaner and HEPA-filtered extraction, then we photograph the coil fins so you can see the difference between the before and after.
Blower Cleaning
The blower motor in a Fountainebleau condo is often the last thing anyone thinks about, until it fails. Fiberglass from degraded duct lining works its way into the blower wheel, coating the fins and throwing the assembly off balance. A caked blower pushes less air, which makes every room in the unit feel stale and muggy. We remove the blower housing, clean the wheel and motor, and inspect the bearings. If the motor is near failure, we document that with photos and give you a written recommendation before moving forward.
Condenser Cleaning
The condenser sits outside, where Fountainebleau’s year-round humidity and frequent rain keep the fins damp and growing. We often find condenser coils on the ground floors of older complexes clogged with leaf debris, silt, and a layer of biological growth that reduces heat rejection. Our condenser cleaning clears the fins and straightens bent sections, using equipment from Rotobrush and Abatement Technologies to restore airflow. A clean condenser is the difference between an AC that struggles through August and one that cycles normally.
Air Handler Cleaning
This is where Fountainebleau’s older buildings hide their worst problems. Many CBS condos built in the 1960s and 1970s have air handler closets with no attic access, so some crews skip the unit entirely and clean only the branch ducts. That is exactly backwards. The air handler houses the blower, the coil, and the drain pan, and it is almost always the most contaminated component in the system. We open the access panels, clean the interior surfaces, clear the condensate line, and run a camera through the supply side to check for disconnects or collapsed sections. If we find one, you see it in the photo record and we quote the repair under the same written-price standard as the cleaning.

BeforeAfterTrusted Brands We Service in Fountainebleau
Our crews work on the equipment Fountainebleau buildings actually have: Carrier, Goodman, Rheem, Trane, and older Westinghouse and Bryant units still running in mid-century condos. We keep common filters, mastic, collars, and drain pan tablets stocked locally so the work does not stall waiting on parts from a warehouse in Orlando. When duct sealing or replacement is part of the job, we use Guardsman mastic and code-compliant connectors, and every connection is tested under negative pressure before we close the ceiling back up. You can look up every brand and every product we use before you agree to the price.
Common HVAC Cleaning Problems We See in Fountainebleau Homes
- Disconnected flex duct above drop-tile ceilings. In buildings along SW 107th Avenue and the surrounding blocks, we routinely find supply runs that have separated at the collar or are torn along their length. A camera inspection is the only way to confirm this without tearing out ceiling panels.
- Fiberglass shedding from original duct liners. The 50-year-old flex duct in many Fountainebleau units has an interior fiberglass liner that degrades over time. The result is a fine gray dust that settles on registers and returns within a week or two of a surface-only cleaning.
- Mold-loaded air handlers with no attic access. In CBS buildings constructed without attic space, the air handler sits in a closet or dropped ceiling. Many companies skip it because it is harder to reach. The blower and coil continue circulating mold fragments through every room.
- Condensate drain pans overflowing into the ceiling cavity. Blocked drain lines in older Fountainebleau condos spill water into interstitial spaces, where it feeds mold growth above the drop-tile ceiling. That moisture then gets pulled back into the return side of the system and distributed through the unit.

FAQs - HVAC Cleaning in Fountainebleau
Fountainebleau’s CBS buildings from the 1960s and 1970s were built with original fiberglass-lined flex ductwork that was never designed to last 50 years in South Florida humidity. That liner degrades, sheds particles, and hosts mold colonies. Newer Miami apartments have sheet metal or better-sealed duct runs, plus building codes that require more accessible mechanical spaces. We find disconnected duct sections above drop-tile ceilings in Fountainebleau with a frequency that newer construction does not match. Call (806) 606-6902 for a camera inspection if your unit has original ducts.
In buildings without attics, we work from the air handler closet and the register openings. Source-removal cleaning uses negative-pressure extraction from a HEPA-filtered unit, with agitation tools run through the register boots back to the main trunk. Where drop-tile ceilings exist, we can remove individual tiles to access duct runs directly. The same approach applies to air handlers: we open the access panel and clean the blower, coil, and housing in place. If a run is collapsed or disconnected above a ceiling, we document it with the camera and quote the repair under the same written-price standard. Call (806) 606-6902 to ask about your specific building layout.
It reveals disconnects, collapsed sections, and fiberglass degradation that are invisible from the registers. In one CBS condo complex near Fontainebleau Boulevard and SW 8th Street, our crew used a remote camera inspection after an air handler cleaning and uncovered a 12-foot run of original flex duct completely detached above a drop-tile ceiling. We source-removed the mold-laden fiberglass lining, reconnected the supply duct with code-compliant collars and mastic, then sealed the joints under negative pressure with HEPA filtration running to keep spores out of the living space. A cleaning without a camera would have missed that entirely. Call (806) 606-6902 to book an inspection with photo documentation.
Yes, in most cases. The air handler can be cleaned in place: the blower motor and wheel come out, the coil is cleaned and treated, the housing is wiped down, and the condensate line is cleared. Replacement is only necessary if the coil has corroded through, the blower motor has failed, or the housing itself is rusting out. Our technicians photograph every step, so you see the condition of the unit and understand the recommendation. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written assessment before any replacement is proposed.
Every 2 to 3 years, more often if the registers accumulate visible dust within weeks of cleaning or if anyone in the unit has respiratory concerns. Fountainebleau’s AC systems run 10-12 months a year and indoor humidity creates mold growth conditions even when the system cycles off. A surface-only clean will not address fiberglass shedding or hidden mold in the air handler. Our full-service documentation record includes photos of the coil, blower, and each duct run, so you can judge the interval based on what was actually found, not a generic schedule. Call (806) 606-6902 to schedule your next inspection.
