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 Sunrise
HVAC cleaning in Sunrise isn’t a seasonal nicety. It’s a structural necessity driven by where this city sits: against the Everglades, with 35-to-50-year-old duct systems running central air nearly every day of the year. At CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning, we quote every Sunrise job with a written price before a single panel comes off, then photograph the inside of every duct run before and after so you can see the work was real. If you’re dealing with black dust around registers, musty air on startup, or a system that hasn’t been opened in decades, call (806) 606-6902 for a free estimate. We serve the entire Sunrise area, from Sunrise Lakes to the Sawgrass Mills corridor.
Key Takeaways: HVAC Cleaning in Sunrise
- A full HVAC cleaning in Sunrise typically runs $380-$780 depending on system size, access, and whether coil treatment is needed.
- Sunrise’s Everglades-adjacent humidity keeps duct-level moisture above 70% year-round, which accelerates mold growth inside older fiberglass-lined duct board.
- Duct cleaning alone often isn’t enough in 1970s Sunrise homes: crushed flex runs and failing duct board need sealing or replacement to stop recurring dust.
- CleanRun includes a Documented Photo Record of every duct run, inside, before and after, as a standard deliverable on every Sunrise job.
Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Is Sunrise’s Preferred HVAC Cleaning Company
Sunrise homeowners tend to ask the same question after a bad experience with another company: “Can you show me what was actually cleaned?” We can. Since 2013, we’ve built our entire process around written prices and photographic evidence because that’s what this industry has historically lacked. Every Sunrise job starts with a written scope and price under Haven Standard Clause 1, and every job ends with a photo record of what the inside of your ducts looked like before and after. No exceptions.
Our technicians know Sunrise’s housing stock. We know what a 1978 Sunrise Lakes Phase III condo looks like inside its supply ducts. We know what a slab-built home off Nob Hill Road deals with when attic temperatures push past 130°F. That local knowledge means we don’t just clean. We look for crushed flex runs, disconnected boots, deteriorated duct board, and failing coil drainage, because those are the things that make cleaning pointless if left unaddressed.
Crews are coordinated from our Miami office, but they work in Sunrise every week. Technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and identified by name before arrival under Haven Standard Clause 3: Verified Crews. Every job is backed by the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing, not as a marketing phrase. If the work isn’t right, we make it right.

Evaporator Coil Cleaning
The evaporator coil is the cold surface inside your air handler that pulls moisture out of Sunrise air. That moisture is a magnet for biological growth, especially in homes west of University Drive where relative humidity is higher than coastal Broward. A dirty coil in a Sunrise home doesn’t just reduce cooling, it keeps the entire duct system damp. We clean coils with professional-grade equipment and apply a coil treatment that slows recontamination. A typical evaporator coil cleaning in Sunrise runs $150-$320 as a standalone service, or $120-$250 when bundled with a full duct cleaning.
Blower Cleaning
The blower wheel is the fan that pushes conditioned air through your ducts. In Sunrise’s year-round AC duty cycle, blower wheels cake with dust, pet hair, and sometimes mold within 18 to 24 months. We’ve measured airflow reductions of roughly 30% on blower motors in Sunrise Lakes condos that hadn’t been opened since installation. Blower cleaning in Sunrise typically runs $110-$220 and should be done alongside evaporator coil service, not as a standalone fix.
Condenser Cleaning
Your condenser is the outdoor unit, and in Sunrise it fights a daily battle against heat soak, grass clippings, and Everglades wind-blown debris. A clogged condenser makes the whole system work harder, which means more dust and more strain on the blower. Condenser cleaning for Sunrise homes generally runs $100-$195. We clean, inspect, and document the condition of the unit as part of any full HVAC cleaning.
Air Handler Cleaning
The air handler houses the blower, the evaporator coil, and often the primary condensate pan. In Sunrise, where the AC runs nearly 365 days a year, the air handler is the single most common source of biological contamination in a home’s HVAC system. Cleaning the ducts without cleaning the handler is like changing the oil in a car while leaving a cracked filter. Air handler cleaning in Sunrise runs $200-$420, and for older systems with original fiberglass-lined interiors, we recommend a full inspection before quoting any duct work.

Common HVAC Cleaning Problems We See in Sunrise Homes
- Mold-friable fiberglass duct board in 1970s condos. Sunrise Lakes, Sunrise Golf Village, and similar communities built between 1972 and 1985 often have original fiberglass-lined ducts that have never been opened. Decades of Everglades humidity have turned that liner into a shedding, mold-hosting reservoir. A standard brush-only cleaning won’t fix it.
- Crushed or disconnected flex runs from attic heat cycling. Attic temperatures in Sunrise routinely pass 130°F in summer. Flex duct doesn’t survive that forever. We regularly find runs crushed under storage, torn open at the takeoff collar, or completely disconnected. Cleaning those runs without repairing them just blows air into the attic.
- Black dust streaks around registers caused by duct leakage. If you’re seeing black marks around the register faces in a Sunrise home, the cause is almost always dust being pulled in through leaky return ducting, mix with humidity, then deposited at the supply grille. Cleaning alone won’t stop it. Sealing will.
- Contaminated air handlers that re-contaminate clean ducts within one season. If the evaporator coil or blower wheel is biologically active, any duct cleaning in Sunrise will be undone within a single cooling season. The handler has to be addressed at the same time or the work is wasted money.
The Sunrise Problem: What 35-50 Years of Everglades Humidity Does to Duct Board
Unlike coastal Broward cities where Atlantic trade winds mix drier air inland, Sunrise sits directly against the Everglades’ humidity plume. Indoor relative humidity at duct level can stay above 70% even with the AC running hard. That’s a problem for any home, but it’s a compounding one for Sunrise’s housing stock, which was largely built between the early 1970s and late 1980s. Many of those systems use original fiberglass duct board, a material that degrades in sustained moisture. The resin binder breaks down. The fibers begin to shed. The surface becomes a substrate for mold and dust mite debris that almost never appears in newer construction on the eastern side of Broward.
This is the insight that drives our HVAC Cleaning work in Sunrise: duct cleaning that doesn’t address the duct board itself is a temporary cosmetic fix. If the liner is friable, cleaning it just disturbs more fibers. The correct sequence, especially in Sunrise Lakes and other 1970s condo communities, is source removal with negative pressure and HEPA filtration, followed by sealing or replacement of the deteriorated liner. That’s the difference between a duct system that stays clean and one that recolonizes within months. You can see the whole process in our HVAC Cleaning service protocol.
What We Actually Found in a Sunrise Lakes Condo
In a Sunrise Lakes Phase III condo built in 1978, our tech ran a camera inspection on the original fiberglass-lined supply duct and found the liner shedding into the airstream and hosting patchy black mold colonies fed by decades of standing humidity. We performed full source removal with negative pressure and HEPA filtration on both supply and return ducts, then had to seal two crushed flex runs that had been disconnected by years of attic heat cycling. The blower motor was also caked with dust that cut airflow by roughly 30%. The cleaning was necessary, but the sealing and the blower work were what actually fixed the home’s air quality. That’s the difference between our process and a $79 brush-and-vacuum special. You get the full written record of what we found and what we did about it.

FAQs - HVAC Cleaning in Sunrise
Because the duct board itself is the reservoir. In Sunrise Lakes-era construction, the fiberglass liner has spent 35-50 years absorbing moisture from Everglades-adjacent humidity. Regular AC maintenance changes filters and checks components, but it doesn’t remove the mold-hosting liner. The fix is source removal with negative pressure, followed by sealing or replacement of the deteriorated sections. Call (806) 606-6902 for an inspection and written quote.
Every 3 to 5 years for most Sunrise homes, and every 2 to 3 years if you have pets, smokers, or occupants with respiratory sensitivities. Homes with original fiberglass duct board may need a full cleaning and lining assessment sooner. Your photo record from a previous clean tells you exactly when it’s due again. Call (806) 606-6902 to schedule.
Only if the streaks are caused by surface dust accumulation. In most Sunrise homes we inspect, black register streaks are caused by duct leakage pulling dusty attic air into the system, which then deposits at the supply grille. Cleaning the ducts is part of the fix, but sealing the leaks is what actually stops the streaks. We quote both in writing, separately.
Yes, in nearly every case. The evaporator coil sits inside the air handler and is the coldest, wettest component in your system. In Sunrise’s humidity, it’s where the biological growth starts. Cleaning ducts while leaving a contaminated coil guarantees recontamination within one cooling season. Bundle coil cleaning with duct work for the best result and the best per-service price. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written quote.
Crushed or disconnected flex runs are common in Sunrise homes built before 1990 because attic temperatures hit 130°F and the duct material fatigues, sags, and separates over time. Cleaning isn’t useless, but cleaning alone won’t fix a disconnected run: the air is still being blown into the attic. We seal or replace runs as part of a full HVAC cleaning when our inspection shows damage. You’ll see the before and after photos.
