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 Lauderdale Lakes
HVAC cleaning in Lauderdale Lakes means something different than it does in most of Florida. The city’s housing stock is overwhelmingly 1960s and 1970s concrete block garden condos where a single air handler feeds ductwork routed through shared attic spaces and inter-unit soffits. That means a cleaning that starts in your unit routinely uncovers contamination from a neighbor’s run. We’ve been working in these buildings long enough to know exactly what’s behind those stamped metal registers, and we clean it with documented proof. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written price before any panel comes off.
Our crews know Lauderdale Lakes because we’re here regularly, from the condo corridors off West Oakland Park Boulevard to the clusters near Northwest 31st Avenue and the lake-fronting buildings along 37th Street. When we clean an HVAC system here, we’re not guessing at what decades of Broward County humidity has left inside the trunk lines. We’re running a camera down them and showing you what we find before we touch anything.
Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Is Lauderdale Lakes’s Preferred HVAC Cleaning Company
Since 2013, CleanRun has operated under the Haven Standard, which puts a written price in your hand before work starts and a photo record in your hand when work ends. That’s not marketing language. It’s Haven Standard Clause 1: written price, no exceptions. Clause 4: documented photo record of every duct run, delivered with the job file. Every one of the 52,000+ homes we’ve served has received both.
For Lauderdale Lakes condo owners, our name gets passed around because the work holds up when the building’s shared ductwork is the actual problem. We don’t treat just the registers in your unit. We inspect the full run, including the sections that cross into common building cavities. When a job requires access to a shared plenum, we coordinate with the building’s maintenance office and confirm the scope in writing before we open anything.
Tomas Reyes, our owner, has insisted on one practice from the beginning: show the customer the inside of the duct, not a description of it. Every technician on a Lauderdale Lakes job is background-checked, uniformed, and identified by name before arrival. Our equipment roster includes Rotobrush, Nikro, and Abatement Technologies – machines you can look up independently and verify are professional-grade, not shop-vac substitutes.
Our HVAC Cleaning Services in Lauderdale Lakes
Our HVAC Cleaning work in Lauderdale Lakes focuses on the components that fail first in year-round AC climates: the evaporator coil, the air handler, the blower, and the condenser. In a 1970s condo where the air handler hasn’t been opened in years, the coil is typically the first thing we document with the camera before cleaning begins.
Evaporator Coil Cleaning
In Lauderdale Lakes, the evaporator coil lives inside the air handler and does its work in a dark, perpetually damp cabinet. Over a few years of subtropical humidity, the coil’s fins become a mat of dust, hair, and biofilm that chokes airflow and forces the compressor to run longer. A typical evaporator coil cleaning in a Lauderdale Lakes condo runs $180 to $320 depending on access. We photograph the coil before and after, and we apply a coil treatment when the buildup has progressed beyond a surface layer.
Blower Cleaning
The blower wheel in a 1970s air handler is often the original unit or an early replacement, and its curved blades collect a thick layer of lint-like debris that unbalances the wheel and reduces static pressure. Blower cleaning in Lauderdale Lakes typically runs $140 to $250. The work requires removing the blower housing, which is why you want a technician who documents the removal and reinstallation, not one who sprays a coil cleaner at the general area.
Condenser Cleaning
The condenser sits outside where Lauderdale Lakes’s intense sun and heat bake the aluminum fins. Lawn cuttings from the garden-style landscaping around many condo buildings get pulled into the coil and reduce heat rejection. Condenser cleaning here runs $120 to $220. It’s the same work whether the unit sits on a small concrete pad off Northwest 43rd Avenue or tucked beside a carport off State Road 7.
Air Handler Cleaning
Air handler cleaning in Lauderdale Lakes is the service that matters most in these older buildings. The cabinet that holds the coil, blower, and often a strip heater gathers dust and debris that can smell musty every time the AC cycles. We remove the panels, clean the interior surfaces, vacuum the drain pan, and document it all. Air handler cleaning typically runs $220 to $400 depending on access and the amount of accumulated debris. If we find a cracked drain pan or a disconnected flex duct connection, we photograph it and give you a written repair price on the spot.

BeforeAfterTrusted Brands We Service in Lauderdale Lakes
Our Lauderdale Lakes jobs run across virtually every brand installed in Florida’s condo market: Carrier, Trane, Goodman, Rheem, Ruud, York, and the old builders’ grade units from the 1970s that are still running with regular coil cleaning. We stock common replacement parts for the most common older units, including drain pan tablets and coil cleaners safe for the fin materials in aging systems. For condenser and air handler work, we use Guardsman coil treatment and Honeywell media products where they apply. If your system uses a specific brand, we’ll tell you what we carry before we arrive.
Common HVAC Cleaning Problems We See in Lauderdale Lakes Homes
- Contaminated supply registers from shared plenum spaces. When a neighbor’s cooking grease or pet dander enters the common attic plenum, your registers push that air into your unit every time your AC runs. Cleaning only your side leaves the source intact.
- Original 1960s galvanized trunk lines never cleaned once. In the older CBS buildings throughout Lauderdale Lakes, the original trunk lines are often still in place with decades of accumulated organic debris layered on the bottom. These runs were not designed for today’s flex duct connections, which creates unsealed gaps that pull dirty air from wall cavities.
- Disconnected flex runs above dropped ceilings. Dropped ceiling cavities in many Lauderdale Lakes garden apartments hide disconnected or collapsed flex ducts. Air that’s supposed to come from your coil instead gets pulled from the void above the ceiling tiles, carrying dust and insulation fibers into the living space.
- Clogged condensate drain lines. Year-round AC operation means year-round condensation. In a climate where humidity rarely drops below 70%, drain pans and P-traps fill with sludge and overflow into the air handler cabinet. The resulting moisture creates exactly the environment where mold establishes in the ductwork.
Pricing for HVAC Cleaning in Lauderdale Lakes, FL
A full HVAC cleaning in Lauderdale Lakes, meaning air handler, evaporator coil, blower, and the accessible supply and return duct runs, typically runs $450 to $850 for a two-bedroom condo. Larger units with multiple air handlers or long shared runs run $850 to $1,400. The price is written before we start, and it’s the price you pay unless we find a structural issue – a crushed duct, a separated takeoff collar, a failed drain pan – that requires repair. In every case, we show you the camera footage and put the repair price in writing before proceeding. There is no per-vent pricing, no teaser coupon that turns into a larger invoice. Haven Standard Clause 1 covers this: written price, no exceptions.

FAQs - HVAC Cleaning in Lauderdale Lakes
Because the contamination rarely starts at your register. In many 1960s and 1970s Lauderdale Lakes condo buildings, a single air handler feeds ductwork routed through a shared attic or ceiling plenum spanning several units. When a neighbor’s pet dander, cooking grease, or moisture problem enters that shared run, your unit receives it every time the air handler cycles. The only lasting fix is cleaning the full shared galvanized trunk, not just the section behind your register. Our crews will document the shared run and, if needed, coordinate access with your building’s maintenance office. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written quote before any work starts.
We find layered organic debris, construction dust from the original build, pet hair, and often a film of grease-laden dust that has hardened over decades of exposure to kitchen exhaust pulled into the return path. In one two-story condo cluster off Northwest 31st Avenue, our crew pulled a 1972-era galvanized trunk line after a resident reported a musty smell that appeared when the neighbor cooked fish. The camera showed the shared soffit run had never been source-removed and was lined with years of grease-laden dust. We used negative-pressure HEPA capture, Rotobrush agitation on the common trunk, and then sealed a cracked takeoff collar that was pulling crawlspace air into both units. That’s the difference between cleaning registers and cleaning the actual HVAC system.
The humidity is the problem. Outdoor humidity in low-lying Broward County regularly exceeds 80% for most of the year, and your AC almost never shuts off. The constant condensation on the coil and the damp interior of the air handler cabinet create persistent moisture, which accelerates mold colonization on the coil’s fins and inside the adjacent duct surfaces. A coil that looked clean six months ago can be coated with biofilm after one humid summer. This is why coil treatment and air handler cleaning are the services we emphasize for Lauderdale Lakes customers, not just duct cleaning.
Because the filter only catches what’s entering the air handler. The smell typically comes from what’s already growing on the evaporator coil, in the condensate drain pan, or on the walls of the supply ducts downstream of the filter. When the AC cycles, the airflow passes over these mold-colonized surfaces and carries the odor into your rooms. A new filter doesn’t address any of that. We find this constantly in the older concrete block buildings of Lauderdale Lakes. The fix is cleaning the coil, the drain pan, and the accessible duct runs, then documenting everything with before and after photos. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written price.
We use negative-pressure extraction, which means the dust and debris we dislodge get pulled into a HEPA-filtered vacuum system from Abatement Technologies, not blown into your living room. We seal off the registers we’re not working on, lay down drop cloths from the front door to the air handler, and we disconnect power to the system before opening any panel. When the job ends, your unit is left with less dust than we found, and you receive the photo record showing what came out. That record is a standard deliverable on every Lauderdale Lakes job, not an add-on.
