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 Air Duct Cleaning Across Plantation
Most homeowners in Plantation pay between $380 and $650 for a full residential air duct cleaning, with dryer vent cleaning running $120 to $220 when booked together. We’re local to the area, dispatching from our Miami office, and we know the specific challenges of Plantation’s housing stock. Call (469) 972-3151 for a written estimate before any work begins.
We’ve worked in Plantation’s planned communities long enough to know the difference between a home on Jacaranda Lane built in 1972 and a newer townhouse off Broward Boulevard. That matters because the ductwork is completely different, and the way we approach the job changes with it. Our crews carry Rotobrush rotary systems and Nikro negative-pressure units built for real duct conditions, not box-store shop vacs that stir up debris and leave it behind.
The Kingswell Guarantee applies to every Plantation job: written price before we touch a vent, a defined arrival window, a clean job site, and our 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If the work falls short, we come back and make it right at no charge. No exceptions.
Why Kestrel Air Duct Cleaning Is Plantation’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
We’ve built our reputation in Plantation by showing up when we said we would and leaving the price where we quoted it. Our Air Duct Cleaning team serves the full city, from the older subdivisions near Plantation Acres to the denser condo clusters along University Drive.
Plantation homeowners call us after they’ve dealt with contractors who changed the price at the door or sent a technician who couldn’t explain what the equipment actually did. We answer the phone with a live person, 24/7, not an automated queue. Dale Whitmore, who leads Kestrel, put the Kingswell Guarantee in place back in 2004, and it’s governed every job since.
Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed. They carry Abatement Technologies HEPA filtration on every truck, which matters in Plantation’s tight lot lines and shared driveways where you can’t afford to vent debris into a neighbor’s yard. We schedule arrival windows we can keep, and we put our 365-Day Done Right Promise in your hands in writing before we leave.
HVAC Duct Cleaning in Plantation
HVAC Duct Cleaning in Plantation means dealing with duct systems that have been baking in 130°F attics since the Johnson administration. The job involves source removal: we use rotary brush agitation to dislodge debris from the duct walls, then negative-air extraction to pull it out of your system entirely, with HEPA filtration keeping particles out of your living space while we work.
A typical full HVAC duct cleaning for a single-family home in Plantation runs $380-$650. Homes with original fiberglass duct board or collapsed flex duct may need repair work before cleaning can be completed safely.
Supply and Return Duct Cleaning
Supply ducts push conditioned air into your rooms; return ducts pull it back to the air handler. In Plantation’s older homes, we often find the return duct has pulled loose from the air handler cabinet, sucking hot attic air straight into the system. We inspect both sides with a camera before we start, so you see what we see.
Full System Cleaning with Video Inspection
Our camera goes in first. In Plantation’s 1960s-1980s housing stock, we regularly find duct board liner that has cracked or peeled away from the shell, exposing raw fiberglass to the airstream. We document this, show you the footage, and clean only what can be cleaned safely. If the duct is too far gone, we’ll tell you straight.
Vent Cleaning in Plantation
Vent Cleaning in Plantation covers the registers, grilles, and the short duct runs behind them, plus dryer vent exhaust systems. For most Plantation homes, vent cleaning runs $150-$280 for supply and return registers, with dryer vent cleaning at $120-$220. We don’t price per vent; it’s one flat price per system, agreed in writing before we start.
Plantation’s humidity means vent covers collect biofilm faster than in drier climates. The dark, damp space behind a bedroom register is an ideal environment for mold once condensation starts wicking through the surrounding drywall.
Dryer Vent Stack Cleaning
Many Plantation homes, especially in the planned subdivisions from the late 1960s and early 1970s, exhaust dryer vents through a shared exterior stack or party-line chase rather than a straight per-home run. Cleaning these requires coordinating access to multiple units and verifying the full run with a camera. We scope the stack before we quote, so we know what we’re dealing with.
Register and Grille Deep Cleaning
We remove each register, clean it with agitation tools under controlled suction, and treat the surrounding boot and short duct run. In Plantation’s older homes, we often find construction debris from the original 1960s or 1970s build still sitting in the boot, plus decades of accumulated dust and microbial growth.
Trusted Brands We Service in Plantation
We clean ductwork connected to every major HVAC brand found in Plantation homes, from original Carrier and Trane systems still running in 1970s subdivisions to newer Rheem and Lennox installations. For homeowners looking to maintain cleaner air between service visits, we stock Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Guardsman filtration products. Our trucks carry common register sizes and boot sealing materials, so most Plantation jobs don’t wait on parts. If your system needs an IAQ upgrade, we’ll show you the options and give you a written price for any add-on before we proceed.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Plantation Homes
- Collapsed flex duct at attic elbows. In Plantation’s 1960s-1980s CBS homes, original flex duct has gone brittle after decades in 130°F+ attics. We regularly find supply runs that have collapsed at the elbow joint, dumping conditioned air into the attic instead of the bedrooms below.
- Microbial growth in cracked duct board liner. South Florida’s 75%+ relative humidity and near-constant AC cycling create condensation inside ductwork. Once Plantation’s aging fiberglass duct board liner cracks, mold and biofilm colonize the exposed surface within weeks.
- Shared dryer vent stacks with partial blockages. In Plantation’s denser multifamily and townhouse clusters, multiple units exhaust through a single stack. One unit’s lint buildup restricts airflow for neighbors, creating fire hazards and extended dry times across the building.
- Restricted equipment access in planned communities. Narrow shared driveways and designated loading zones in Plantation’s denser subdivisions can block our Nikro negative-pressure units and HEPA filtration equipment from reaching the service point. We confirm access before we dispatch.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Plantation, FL
Most full residential air duct cleanings in Plantation run $380-$650 for a typical single-family home with 12-20 registers. Dryer vent cleaning adds $120-$220. Condo and apartment jobs with shared systems or restricted access start around $320 and scale with the complexity of the building layout.
What moves the price: the number of air handlers, whether the ductwork is accessible or buried in a finished soffit, the condition of the original duct material, and whether we need to coordinate with an HOA for shared system access. We don’t do per-vent pricing, and we don’t bait you with a low teaser rate that doubles once we’re on-site. The written price in your hands before we start is the price you pay.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Plantation
Yes. We clean shared HVAC and dryer vent systems in Plantation condos and apartments, but we require confirmed HOA or building management access before we dispatch. Shared utility chases and stacked dryer vents need coordinated entry to multiple units, and we scope the full run with a camera so nothing gets missed. Call (469) 972-3151 to schedule, and we’ll walk you through the access requirements for your specific building.
Plantation’s original flex duct from the 1960s-1980s buildout has been baking in 130°F+ attics for 40-60 years. The material goes brittle, separates at elbow joints, and collapses under its own weight or during normal agitation cleaning. We camera-inspect before we start, show you the condition, and if we find a collapse, we explain your options before proceeding. This is common enough in Plantation’s housing stock that we plan for it on every older-home job.
Shared-stack dryer vent cleaning requires accessing the full vertical run, not just the horizontal branch from your unit. We use a camera to locate lint buildup at junction points, then clean the entire stack with rotary tools and negative-air extraction under HEPA filtration. In Plantation’s planned communities with party-line chases, we often need to coordinate with neighboring units or building management to ensure complete airflow restoration.
Plantation’s average relative humidity above 75% and AC systems running 10-12 months per year create continuous condensation inside ductwork. This moisture feeds mold and biofilm growth, especially where aging duct board liner has cracked. Our cleaning removes existing contamination, but we also show you where humidity is entering the system through leaks or failed seals. Sealing those entry points is what keeps the ducts clean longer in this climate.
Yes, but we confirm access before we dispatch. Our Nikro negative-pressure units, Rotobrush systems, and Abatement Technologies HEPA filtration equipment require a clear path from the truck to your air handler and main duct runs. In Plantation’s denser subdivisions with narrow shared driveways or designated loading zones, we coordinate with you or your HOA to reserve staging space. If access is genuinely impossible, we’ll tell you during the estimate call rather than surprise you on arrival.
