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 Westchester
Air duct cleaning in Westchester typically runs $450-$850 for a full residential system, and most jobs are scheduled within a week of your call. We’re the Air Duct Cleaning team that knows this neighborhood’s houses inside and out.
Westchester’s grid of 1950s-1970s concrete-block homes keeps its secrets well. The walls are solid. The tile roofs last forever. But the ductwork? That’s a different story. Most of these houses got central air retrofitted years after they were built, with flex duct and fiberglass duct board routed through attics that hit 130°F for months at a stretch. We’ve been crawling those attics since 2004, and we’ve learned what fails, what it costs to fix, and how to spot trouble before your blower motor burns out trying to push air through a crushed run.
Our scheduling desk is in Miami, and crews serve Westchester directly. Call (469) 972-3151 and you’ll reach a live person, any time of day.
Why Kestrel Air Duct Cleaning Is Westchester’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
We’ve built our reputation in Westchester one attic at a time. Long-term homeowners here, many living in the same CBS ranch for thirty-plus years, call us back because we show them camera footage of what we found and hand them a written price before we touch a single vent. No door-step revisions. No “we found something else” upsells.
Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and trained on the Kingswell Way: 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 last part matters. Our 365-Day Done Right Promise means if the work falls short within a year, we return and make it right at no charge. It’s documented on every job, not extended at our discretion.
Calls are answered by a live person 24/7. Not a voicemail queue. Not an automated system. A real conversation, whether you’re calling at 7 a.m. before work or 9 p.m. after noticing your return registers whistling again.
Air Duct Cleaning Services in Westchester
Air Duct Cleaning Services in Westchester start with understanding what kind of house we’re walking into. These aren’t new construction homes with straight, accessible duct runs. They’re retrofitted systems, often convoluted, sometimes partially collapsed, with decades of debris baked into fiberglass duct board by attic heat that never lets up.
Our process: camera inspection first, then source removal using negative-air extraction (that’s a sealed vacuum system pulling debris out of your ducts while we work, so nothing escapes into your living space), followed by brush agitation to dislodge material clinging to duct walls. We finish with sealing any failed runs we found. The written price covers the full system, not per-vent add-ons.
A typical residential Air Duct Cleaning Services job in Westchester runs $450-$650 for a standard single-system home, $650-$850 if we find multiple crushed runs or deteriorated duct board that needs section replacement.
Supply Duct Cleaning
Supply ducts push conditioned air into your rooms. In Westchester retrofits, these runs often sag in attics, get crushed against trusses, or separate at joints. We inspect the full length, not just the register boot, because a clean boot connected to a crushed flex duct is still a blocked duct.
Return Duct Cleaning
Return ducts pull air back to the air handler. They’re the dirtiest runs in most Westchester homes because they operate under negative pressure, drawing in attic debris through any gap in the building envelope. We seal those gaps after cleaning, or you’re pulling new contamination in within weeks.

HVAC Duct Cleaning in Westchester
HVAC Duct Cleaning in Westchester means dealing with systems that run virtually every day of the year. There’s no off-season in Miami-Dade. Your AC never gets a rest, and your ducts never get a dry-out period. That unbroken cycle of condensation, warm supply air hitting humid return air, and zero seasonal downtime makes mold colonization inside ductwork a near-universal finding here, not an occasional one.
We use Rotobrush rotary brush systems to physically dislodge debris from duct walls, Nikro negative-pressure units to pull loosened material out of the system, and Abatement Technologies HEPA filtration to capture particles before they re-enter your living space. These aren’t shop vacs from a big-box store. They’re professional tools designed for source removal, the standard that actually cleans rather than redistributes.
HVAC Duct Cleaning in Westchester for a full system, including inspection and basic sealing, typically falls between $550 and $850. Commercial systems or homes with multiple air handlers run higher.
Video Inspection
We run a camera through your ductwork before and after cleaning. You’ll see the fiberglass duct board deterioration, the crushed runs, the debris load. Afterward, you’ll see clean metal and intact lining. The footage belongs to you, and it’s the only way to know the work was actually done.
Full System Cleaning
This covers every accessible supply and return run, the main trunk lines, the air handler cabinet, and the blower assembly. In Westchester’s older homes, we often find the original duct board lining has turned to powder. Full system cleaning includes replacing those failed sections with properly sealed modern materials.
Trusted Brands We Service in Westchester
We clean what you have, and we can improve what you breathe. Our trucks stock Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Guardsman filtration and indoor-air-quality products for Westchester homeowners who want to maintain clean air between service visits. After we’ve removed decades of accumulation from your retrofit duct system, a properly sized media filter or UV air purifier helps keep new contamination from taking hold. We size these to your specific air handler, not sell you a generic unit. Most IAQ upgrades are installed same visit if you choose to add them.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Westchester Homes
- Assuming the ducts are fine because the concrete shell looks perfect. Westchester’s CBS walls and tile roofs age gracefully. The hidden attic ductwork does not. We’ve found fiberglass duct board crumbling to the touch in homes where the exterior still looks brand new.
- Crushed or disconnected supply runs going unnoticed for years. Retrofit ducts in Westchester attics often get flattened against trusses or pulled apart at couplings. The system still blows air, but your blower motor works overtime and your electric bill climbs.
- Cleaning without negative pressure and HEPA containment. Agitating deteriorated fiberglass duct board without proper extraction just pumps particulate through your house. We see this after cut-rate jobs: the registers look clean, but the air quality got worse.
- Skipping the sealing work. Westchester’s high humidity means any gap in your return ductwork pulls in attic air, mold spores, and insulation particles. Cleaning without sealing is temporary. Cleaning plus sealing lasts.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Westchester, FL
Most Westchester homes run $450-$650 for a standard single-system residential cleaning with inspection. If we find multiple failed duct board sections, crushed runs needing rebuild, or extensive mold remediation, costs extend to $650-$850. Commercial systems start around $800 and scale with square footage and access difficulty.
What moves the number: system size, accessibility of attic runs, condition of original duct materials, and whether sealing or section replacement is needed. We don’t do per-vent pricing. We don’t bait with a low teaser and revise at the door. The written price in your hands before work starts covers your entire system, agreed upon after inspection, with no surprises.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Westchester
Westchester’s 1950-1975 CBS homes were retrofitted with central AC rather than designed for it, so ducts run through extreme-attic environments with original fiberglass materials that degrade faster than the modern flex-duct systems installed in Kendall’s newer construction. The combination of retrofit routing, decades of continuous operation, and Miami-Dade’s unrelenting humidity creates debris and mold loads we simply don’t see in homes built after 1990. Call (469) 972-3151 for an exact quote on your system.
Failed fiberglass duct board shows up as excessive dust accumulation, whistling registers, uneven cooling between rooms, or a blower motor that seems to run constantly. We confirm with camera inspection, looking for crumbling liner material, exposed raw fiberglass, or sections where the coating has worn through to the substrate. If you haven’t had your ducts inspected and your home was built before 1975, there’s a strong chance we find deterioration. Call (469) 972-3151 and we’ll show you exactly what your system looks like inside.
Yes, our source-removal methods align with NADCA guidelines for mechanical cleaning, negative-air extraction, and containment, which is especially critical for Westchester’s fragile retrofit duct board that can be damaged by aggressive or improper techniques. NADCA-aligned work means we inspect first, contain the work area, use appropriate agitation for your duct material, and verify results with post-cleaning inspection. For Westchester homes with original fiberglass systems, this disciplined approach prevents the damage we’ve seen from contractors using tools meant for metal ductwork on delicate older materials.
We clean with Rotobrush rotary brush systems, Nikro negative-pressure extraction units, and Abatement Technologies HEPA filtration, and we offer Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Guardsman IAQ products for homeowners who want to maintain results between visits. Rotobrush dislodges debris at the duct wall, Nikro pulls it out of your system under controlled negative pressure, and Abatement Technologies HEPA capture keeps loosened particles from entering your living space during the work. These are professional-grade tools, not converted shop equipment.
In uninspected Westchester homes built 1950-1975, we typically find deteriorated fiberglass duct board shedding particulate, at least one crushed or disconnected supply run, and return duct leaks pulling in attic air and humidity. On a 1968 CBS ranch off SW 24th Street near Tropical Park, a long-time owner called us because the return registers were whistling and the house wouldn’t hold temperature. Our tech ran a camera inspection and found the original fiberglass duct board lining crumbling and a supply run crushed flat against a truss, so we set up negative pressure with HEPA filtration, used agitation tools to source-remove decades of debris, and rebuilt and sealed the failed runs. The blower motor amps dropped and the system held setpoint for the first time in years. Call (469) 972-3151 to schedule your inspection.
