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 Air Duct Cleaning Across Royal Palm Beach
Most homeowners in Royal Palm Beach pay between $380 and $650 for a complete residential air duct cleaning, with newer homes and smaller systems landing at the lower end and older homes with extensive mold remediation needs running higher.

Call (469) 972-3151 for a free written estimate, we’ll give you the exact price before any work begins.
Royal Palm Beach isn’t like coastal Florida cities. Sitting roughly 12-15 miles inland from the Atlantic, this master-planned community misses the sea-breeze moderation that keeps relative humidity lower in places like Delray Beach or Lake Worth. The Arthur R. Marshall Loxahatchee National Wildlife Refuge sits directly to the west, pushing some of the highest ambient mold-spore and organic-particulate counts in Palm Beach County into neighborhood air. Your HVAC system pulls that wetland-saturated air continuously. That combination, plus a housing stock built largely from the mid-1970s through the 1990s, creates ductwork problems we don’t see in the same way anywhere else in South Florida.
We recently serviced a 2019-built home in the La Mancha community off Crestwood Boulevard where the homeowner reported a persistent drywall-dust smell every time the air handler kicked on. Our tech pulled the supply and return registers and ran an agitation tool through the trunk lines, then set up negative pressure with HEPA filtration. What came out was construction debris, drywall dust, and a surprising amount of mold growth on the duct-board plenum near the air handler. After a full source-removal clean and antimicrobial fogging, the odor cleared and airflow at the registers measurably improved. That story repeats across Royal Palm Beach more often than new homeowners expect.
Why Kestrel Air Duct Cleaning Is Royal Palm Beach’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
We’ve been part of the Kingswell family of companies since 2004, and the Kingswell Guarantee applies to every job we run in Royal Palm Beach.

No exceptions.
Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed, and they arrive with professional-grade equipment: Rotobrush rotary brush systems to dislodge debris at the duct wall, Nikro negative-pressure units to pull contaminants out, and Abatement Technologies HEPA filtration to keep loosened particles out of your living space during cleaning. These aren’t box-store shop vacs. When we quote your Royal Palm Beach home, we’re quoting for real source removal, not a surface vacuum of the registers.
Calls are answered by a live person, 24 hours a day. Not a voicemail queue. Not an automated system. A real conversation, whether you’re calling from Crestwood Boulevard, La Mancha, or anywhere else in Royal Palm Beach.
Dale Whitmore leads our operation, and every technician works under The Kingswell Way values code: say the price, show up in the window we gave, leave the place cleaner, put the guarantee in writing, come back if it fails. That’s the standard on every visit to Royal Palm Beach.
Air Duct Repair in Royal Palm Beach
Air Duct Repair in Royal Palm Beach addresses the physical deterioration that 30-50-year-old fiberglass flex duct and duct-board plenums suffer in this high-humidity, high-particulate environment. We see collapsed flex runs, separated duct-board seams, and plenum interiors that are visibly dark with mold growth rather than the typical gray dust found in drier Florida markets. Repair becomes necessary when airflow drops at distant registers, when rooms won’t maintain temperature, or when visible mold has compromised the duct material itself.
Typical Air Duct Repair in Royal Palm Beach runs $280-$520 for localized fixes such as replacing a damaged flex run or resealing a duct-board plenum. More extensive replacement of multiple trunk sections can reach $800-$1,400. We always inspect with a video camera first, show you what we found, and give you the written price before any repair begins.
Collapsed Flex Duct Replacement
The original flex duct in Royal Palm Beach’s 1980s subdivisions has often sagged, torn, or collapsed entirely where it was poorly supported in attics. We remove the damaged run, install new properly supported flex, and seal all connections with mastic. The job usually takes two to three hours.
Duct-Board Plenum Restoration
When mold has penetrated the fiberglass core of a duct-board plenum, surface cleaning isn’t enough. We cut out the compromised section, fabricate a replacement from new duct board or transition to sheet metal, and seal the assembly. This is common in homes near Royal Palm Beach Boulevard where original systems remain in service.
Ductwork Cleaning in Royal Palm Beach
Ductwork Cleaning in Royal Palm Beach means source removal of accumulated debris, construction dust, mold colonization, and organic particulate from your entire HVAC distribution system. Because of the Loxahatchee Refuge’s proximity, jobs here almost always require antimicrobial fogging as part of the scope, not just mechanical cleaning. The process covers supply ducts, return ducts, trunk lines, and the air handler cabinet.
A typical residential Ductwork Cleaning in Royal Palm Beach runs $380-$650 for a complete system, with commercial properties starting around $850 depending on system complexity. Newer homes with straightforward access fall at the lower end. Older homes with extensive mold, multiple zones, or hard-to-reach attic runs require more time and land higher.
Mechanical Agitation and Negative-Air Extraction
We use Rotobrush rotary brush systems to physically dislodge debris from duct walls, paired with Nikro negative-pressure units that create suction at 2,000-3,500 CFM to pull loosened material out of your home entirely. Abatement Technologies HEPA filtration on the exhaust captures particles down to 0.3 microns, so nothing recirculates into your living space during the job.
Antimicrobial Fogging and Air Handler Treatment
In Royal Palm Beach’s refuge-adjacent environment, mold spores recolonize clean duct-board and flex duct surfaces quickly if the biological load isn’t addressed. We apply an EPA-registered antimicrobial fog throughout the cleaned system, and we clean the blower motor, evaporator coil, and drain pan in the air handler. Many cleaning scopes stop at the ducts. We don’t.
Trusted Brands We Service in Royal Palm Beach
We clean and service ductwork connected to all major HVAC brands found in Royal Palm Beach homes, including Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Rheem, and Goodman systems. For homeowners looking to maintain clean air between service visits, we offer Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Guardsman filtration and indoor-air-quality products. Our crews carry common filter sizes and replacement components on the truck, so most Royal Palm Beach customers don’t wait for parts. If your system needs something specific, our Miami-area office coordinates same-day or next-day sourcing for most items.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Royal Palm Beach Homes
- Construction debris in newer homes. Buyers assume a 2019 or 2022 build in Royal Palm Beach means clean ducts. Often the opposite: drywall dust, insulation scraps, and even drywall mud remain in supply and return ducts for years, degrading air quality and restricting airflow from day one.
- Mold colonization on duct-board plenums. Technicians working the 1980s subdivisions concentrated around Royal Palm Beach Boulevard and Crestwood Boulevard regularly find plenum interiors that are visibly dark with mold growth. The combination of aged duct-board and refuge-driven humidity makes this pattern far more severe here than in coastal markets.
- Moisture and corrosion in air handler compartments. Royal Palm Beach’s inland position means AC systems run longer cycles at higher humidity. The blower motor, evaporator coil, and drain pan accumulate moisture and particulate faster than in sea-breeze-cooled cities, accelerating corrosion and mold if not cleaned.
- Skipped antimicrobial treatment after mechanical cleaning. Some competitors run a brush and vacuum, collect their check, and leave. In Royal Palm Beach’s environment, that’s half a job. Without antimicrobial fogging, mold spores from the Loxahatchee wetlands recolonize within months.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Royal Palm Beach
We recommend within the first 12-18 months, and often sooner if you notice drywall dust odors or reduced airflow. Construction debris, drywall dust, and even drywall mud frequently remain trapped in supply and return ducts for years after the build is complete. Royal Palm Beach’s high ambient particulate load from the nearby Loxahatchee Refuge makes this trapped debris a bigger problem here than in many markets. Call (469) 972-3151 for a free inspection and written estimate.
The Arthur R. Marshall Loxahatchee National Wildlife Refuge pushes mold-spore and organic-particulate counts among the highest in Palm Beach County into Royal Palm Beach’s air. Without antimicrobial treatment, mold recolonizes clean duct-board and flex duct surfaces within months. Coastal cities like Delray Beach or Lake Worth receive Atlantic breezes that dilute and dry this biological load, so their ducts don’t face the same recolonization pressure. In Royal Palm Beach, antimicrobial fogging is standard, not optional. Call (469) 972-3151 to schedule.
Original or early-replacement fiberglass flex duct and duct-board plenums that are 30-50 years old and well past typical service life. We regularly find collapsed flex runs, separated seams, and plenum interiors visibly dark with mold growth rather than gray dust. The materials absorb moisture readily in Royal Palm Beach’s humid inland climate, accelerating deterioration. Most 1980s homes here need both mechanical cleaning and some degree of repair or replacement. Call (469) 972-3151 for a video inspection and written quote.
Source removal using rotary brush agitation to dislodge debris from duct walls, negative-air extraction to pull contaminants out of the home, HEPA filtration to protect indoor air during the process, antimicrobial fogging to prevent rapid mold recolonization, and thorough cleaning of the air handler including the blower motor, evaporator coil, and drain pan. We use Rotobrush, Nikro, and Abatement Technologies equipment, and we put the scope and price in writing before starting. Call (469) 972-3151 for your specific estimate.
