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 Apopka, FL
We’re Kestrel Air Duct Cleaning. Homeowners across Apopka call us for one reason more than any other: ducts in this part of Orange County collect a different kind of debris than what you’d find in most Florida suburbs. Dried plant material, fine organic dust, and spores from decades of nursery operations along US-441 find their way into return plenums and supply runs here at a rate we don’t see in Ocoee or Winter Park. That changes how a duct job should be done, and it’s why we quote honestly, show up in the window we gave, and put everything in writing. Call us at (469) 972-3151 and you’ll speak to a real person.
Why Apopka Homes Are Different
Apopka’s identity as Florida’s Indoor Foliage Capital isn’t just history. It’s most visible in our ducts. Homes near the nursery corridors off US-441 and Ponkan Road pull in plant bioaerosols, fine compost dust, and dried spores that settle inside ductwork and, in humid months, begin to bind to the duct walls. That biological film is different from ordinary household dust. It’s sticker, it holds moisture, and it feeds on itself.
The housing stock adds a second layer. Many established neighborhoods, from Errol Estate to the ranch-style streets around Votaw Road, were built from the 1970s through the 1990s. Original fiberglass flex duct in those homes has sagged at the straps, separated at the joints, and absorbed moisture every summer for 30 or 40 years. Meanwhile, newer developments pushing northwest toward Kelly Park Road often have tight, hot attic spaces where AC ductwork runs directly against trapped heat. Condensation forms on the duct exterior, then moves inward. None of this is rare in Apopka. It’s the baseline.
Our Main Apopka Services
We offer two services, and both have their own dedicated Apopka page with full detail on process, pricing, and what to expect on the day of the job.
Air Duct Cleaning in Apopka
Apopka duct cleaning means more than vacuuming out a return. In homes near the historic nursery belt, we’re typically removing plant-derived debris that has compacted over years, layered against the duct walls and often damp from the Lake Apopka humidity basin. We run negative-air extraction, meaning the system pulls air and loosened debris OUT of your ducts into a sealed containment unit rather than blowing it into your living space. Then brush agitation from a Rotobrush system breaks the bound-on material loose at the wall. Full details are on our Air Duct Cleaning in Apopka page.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Apopka
Dryer vents in Apopka clog faster than in drier parts of Central Florida. Humid air makes lint stick to the vent interior, and in older ranches the vent is often a long, low-slope run with multiple elbows, which multiplies the trap effect. We brush the full run and bypass the lint trap opening so the loosened debris leaves the vent rather than falling back into the dryer cabinet. You’ll find the complete process and pricing on our Dryer Vent Cleaning in Apopka page.

What pushes a price toward the higher end in Apopka is usually one of three things: a home from the 1970s-1990s with original flex duct that has sagged and separated, a long dryer vent run with multiple elbows, or biological buildup that takes more brush passes to separate from the duct wall. The lower end is typically a newer tract home with modern rigid ducting and straightforward access. Either way, we put the full price in writing before any work starts, and that’s the price. It doesn’t change at the door.

What Apopka 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."
