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.

AfterAir Duct Cleaning Company in Fernandina Beach, FL
Air duct cleaning in Fernandina Beach runs between $395 and $985 for most homes, depending on system size and how long it’s been since the last cleaning. We’re Kestrel Air Duct Cleaning, and we work differently on Amelia Island because the salt air and humidity here do things to ductwork that mainland systems rarely see. If your ducts haven’t been opened up in a few years, call us at (469) 972-3151 and we’ll give you a written price before any work begins.
Why Fernandina Beach Homes Are Different
Fernandina Beach sits on a barrier island where Atlantic salt spray and sustained humidity work on duct systems year-round. The historic downtown holds some of Florida’s oldest surviving homes, late-1800s Victorians retrofitted with modern ducts threaded through irregular attic spaces that trap heat and moisture. South and central Fernandina Beach carry a different layer entirely: post-1980s resort-era condos and coastal homes where flex ductwork runs through unconditioned attics that bake in the island sun. Both housing types share a common problem: salt-laden air accelerates microbial growth on duct liner surfaces and metal fittings faster than almost anywhere else in northeast Florida. We open these systems and often find accumulation that would take a mainland home twice as long to develop.
There’s also the vacation-rental pattern. Short-term rental operators on Amelia Island frequently set thermostats to 85°F or shut systems down entirely between bookings. Ductwork sits dormant through sweltering, humid weeks, then blasts conditioned air the moment guests arrive. We regularly find heavy mold growth inside Fernandina Beach duct systems that are barely 18 to 24 months old because of this stop-start cycle combined with the island’s ambient salt humidity. It’s a failure mode we see here at a pace inland markets simply don’t match.
Our Main Fernandina Beach Services
Two services account for almost every call we get from Fernandina Beach homeowners: full air duct cleaning and dryer vent cleaning. Each has its own dedicated page with local pricing and details.
Air Duct Cleaning in Fernandina Beach
Whole-system air duct cleaning on Amelia Island means removing the salt-and-humidity buildup that accumulates on supply runs, return plenums, and register boots. Our crews use Rotobrush rotary brushes to dislodge debris at the duct wall, then a Nikro negative-pressure unit pulls contaminants out rather than pushing them into your living space. We also check for condensation damage in attic runs, which Fernandina Beach’s superheated attics accelerate from late April through October. See Air Duct Cleaning in Fernandina Beach for local pricing and what a typical job covers.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Fernandina Beach
Dryer vents on Amelia Island clog faster than most because coastal humidity keeps lint damp and sticky inside the run, and many Fernandina Beach homes route vents through long, low-clearance attic paths left over from older construction. We remove lint from the full run, check the exterior termination for salt corrosion, and bypass the lint trap to clear the cavity behind it. See Dryer Vent Cleaning in Fernandina Beach for price ranges and what we inspect on every visit.

What pushes a Fernandina Beach job toward the upper end is usually accessibility: Victorian-era retrofits with tight attic clearances, split systems across multiple floors, or flex duct in unconditioned attics that needs more careful handling. Whatever the number is, you’ll have it in writing before we touch a single vent. That’s the Kingswell Guarantee, and we don’t revise prices at the door.

What Fernandina Beach Customers Say
"Set up an appointment for the whole house plus the dryer line. They called the morning of to confirm, showed up in the window, and showed me pictures of the gunk they pulled out. Worth it."
- Terrence Boyd"My wife's allergies were awful every morning. Had the ducts done and it's made a real difference. Tech was on time and wore booties in the house without me asking."
- Rob Pendergast"Bought an older home and the previous owners had pets everywhere. After Kestrel did the ducts the stale smell was just gone. On time, quick, and they showed me the filter they pulled."
