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.
Fast, Reliable HVAC Cleaning Across Palm Beach Gardens
HVAC cleaning in Palm Beach Gardens typically costs $380-$680 for a full system and takes 3-5 hours on a standard 2,500-3,500 sq ft home. We work directly with homeowners in PGA National, BallenIsles, Evergrene, and Mirasol-area communities, and our crews coordinate scheduling from our South FL office so a Palm Beach Gardens appointment is usually available within two to three business days. If you’re noticing weak airflow, musty smells when the handler kicks on, or visible dust on registers weeks after a cleaning that didn’t hold, call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll put a written price in front of you before a single panel comes off.
Key Takeaways:
- Whole-system HVAC Cleaning in Palm Beach Gardens runs $380-$680 for most homes, written and agreed before work starts.
- Older flex duct in PGA National and BallenIsles often fails mechanically, not just accumulates dust, so every job here starts with a camera inspection.
- New-construction homes near Avenir and Mirasol need cleaning sooner than owners expect because builders rarely remove drywall debris from duct runs.
- Every job includes a Documented Photo Record of every duct run, before and after, delivered with your invoice.
Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Is Palm Beach Gardens’s Preferred HVAC Cleaning Company
CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning has spent over a decade documenting what actually lives inside South Florida ductwork. From our first job in 2013 to more than 52,000 homes served, we have held to one rule: written price before work starts, camera evidence before any cleaning begins. That matters in Palm Beach Gardens because the housing stock here hides problems other companies miss.
We know the original flex systems in PGA National were installed in the late 1980s and 1990s, before building codes caught up with what year-round AC and 145°F attic heat would do to flexible duct liner. We know that a 1994 CBS home on a cul-de-sac near BallenIsles has different failure modes than a 2021 Avenir build. Our HVAC Cleaning in Palm Beach Gardens work is built on that local knowledge, and it’s why we lead with a duct-integrity camera inspection rather than a standard cleaning quote. Tomas Reyes, who leads our crews, puts it plainly: “In this climate, you don’t clean ductwork you haven’t seen first.” Background-checked, uniformed technicians operate under the H.A.V.E.N. Standard, and every job is backed by the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing.
Our HVAC Cleaning Services in Palm Beach Gardens

Palm Beach Gardens homes need more than duct brushing. The humidity here continuously coats evaporator coils, blower wheels, and air handler interiors with biofilm that re-contaminates clean ducts within weeks. Here’s what we cover, and what we find locally.
Evaporator Coil Cleaning
A Palm Beach Gardens evaporator coil runs wet almost constantly. Warm, humid air hits the cold coil, condensation forms, and airborne dust and mold spores stick to that moisture. Within a few seasons the coil is coated in a gray-brown biofilm that cuts heat transfer and raises your electric bill. We clean coils in place where accessible, using professional-grade equipment from Rotobrush and Nikro, and apply a coil treatment that slows re-growth rather than just wiping the surface. On older air handlers, we photograph the coil before and after so you can see the difference between cleaned fins and the sludge that was there before.

Air Handler Cleaning
In Palm Beach Gardens the air handler is often the dirtiest component in the system. Attic-mounted handlers in older golf community homes pull attic air through any gap in the cabinet, which means fiberglass insulation particles and fine construction debris end up inside the blower section. We remove the access panels, clean the blower housing, motor windings (carefully, with no-lint tooling), and interior cabinet surfaces, then document everything with the same before-and-after photo standard we apply to every duct run. If the handler is in a garage, like many Mirasol-area homes, we check the return path too.

Blower Cleaning
A dirty blower wheel can lose 15-30% of its airflow capacity, and in a Palm Beach Gardens home that means hotter rooms at the far end of the duct run and a system that runs longer than it should. We clean blower wheels with a combination of compressed air and HEPA-filtered agitation tools from Abatement Technologies, then balance-check the wheel before the job is called done. On a 1994 PGA National home, we found a blower so caked with construction dust and renovation debris that the wheel had to be removed and cleaned in place just to restore design airflow to the master suite.

Heat Exchanger Cleaning and Condenser Cleaning
For furnaces and heat pumps that cycle in the brief South Florida cool snaps, a fouled heat exchanger reduces efficiency and increases run time. Palm Beach Gardens mostly worries about cooling, but the same humidity that coats your coil deposits fine particulate inside heat exchanger tubes. Condenser cleaning means clearing the outdoor coil of palm fronds, landscape debris, grass clippings, and the fine gray film that builds on the fins from lawn equipment and irrigation overspray. A condenser that can’t reject heat makes every other component work harder.

Common HVAC Cleaning Problems We See in Palm Beach Gardens Homes

After walking thousands of attics between PGA National, BallenIsles, Evergrene, and the newer Avenir build-out, these are the patterns that repeat:
- Collapsed or kinked flex duct in 1980s-1990s homes. Original flexible duct runs were installed with plastic strapping that degrades. After 30 years of attic heat cycles, sections sag between joists and kink at transitions, cutting airflow by half or more before dust is even considered.
- Drywall and construction debris left from renovation. We regularly extract chunks of drywall, tile dust, and sawdust from ducts of homes that were “renovated” or “remodeled” before sale. The previous contractor cleaned the floors, not the ducts.
- Build-up at the return plenum and filter slot. Palm Beach Gardens homes with single-return systems pull air from the hallway or great room, and that one return path concentrates debris. The resulting buildup chokes airflow system-wide, not just on one branch.
- Evaporator coil biofilm that re-contaminates clean ducts. If the coil isn’t cleaned and treated at the same time as the ducts, the humidity in a Palm Beach Gardens attic regrows the same biofilm within weeks. A duct-only cleaning is incomplete here.

FAQs - HVAC Cleaning in Palm Beach Gardens

New ducts are rarely clean. During construction, drywall dust, sawdust, insulation fibers, and debris fall into open duct runs and registers before the grilles go on. Builders rarely clean them, and running the AC for months blows that debris across your coil, your blower, and your furniture. Yes, we recommend cleaning new-construction homes before you’ve lived in them six months.
An original 1980s flex duct system in a PGA National home has likely deteriorated beyond simple dust accumulation. Heat and humidity cycle through the attic liner for 30-plus years, cracking it at bends and sagging it between joists. Cleaning a system with failed flex sections is pointless; we run a camera inspection before we quote so you know whether you need cleaning, replacement, or both.
Most standard duct cleanings do not. The coil sits inside the air handler, behind panels that a duct-only crew never opens. We clean the coil as part of the system, not an add-on, because Palm Beach Gardens humidity makes the coil the most important component to address. If the coil isn’t cleaned, the ducts re-contaminate within weeks.
It’s common enough that we schedule new-home cleanings regularly in the Mirasol and Avenir areas. Builders are not required to clean duct interiors at handover, and most won’t. If you see white or gray dust on the register grilles or smell drywall dust when the air kicks on, that’s exactly what we address. The photo record we provide shows what was actually inside.
Our camera inspection answers this directly. If the flex liner shows cracks, collapse, or kinks at joist transitions, no amount of cleaning restores airflow. We’ll show you the footage and give you a written recommendation that separates cleaning scope from replacement scope. You decide with the evidence in hand, not on a sales pitch. Call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll get you scheduled for an honest look at your system.
