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 West Palm Beach
Most homeowners in West Palm Beach pay between $380 and $650 for a full residential air duct cleaning, with older homes in neighborhoods like Flamingo Park and El Cid often landing higher because of collapsed flex duct and resealing work. We’re Kestrel Air Duct Cleaning, and our crews handle West Palm Beach calls from our Miami-area dispatch office, typically scheduling within a few days and always arriving inside the window we give you. If your vents smell musty, your AC runs constantly but never cools evenly, or you’ve just bought a mid-century home near Belvedere Road, we know what we’ll find in your attic. Call (469) 972-3151 for a free written estimate before any work starts.
Why Kestrel Air Duct Cleaning Is West Palm Beach’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
We’ve been working under the Kingswell Guarantee since 2004, and that same written standard applies to every job we do in West Palm Beach. Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and trained on Rotobrush rotary brush systems and Nikro negative-air units, not the shop vacs some independents haul around. We answer calls with a live person, 24/7, because nobody wants to leave a message when their ducts smell like mildew.
West Palm Beach homeowners call us back because we put the price in writing before we touch a single vent, and because our 365-Day Done Right Promise means we return free if the work falls short. We know the local housing stock: the 1950s CBS ranches in Southland Park, the historic Spanish and Mission-style homes in El Cid where central air was retrofitted decades after construction, and the mid-century apartments near Dixie Highway. That familiarity saves time and prevents surprises.
Our crews serve West Palm Beach from our South Florida dispatch hub, so we’re not driving down from Orlando or across from Tampa. We understand that in July, when your attic hits 150°F, you don’t want a technician learning your neighborhood’s duct layout for the first time.
Commercial Air Duct Cleaning in West Palm Beach
Commercial Air Duct Cleaning in West Palm Beach covers office buildings, retail spaces, medical clinics, and multi-family properties where code compliance and occupant health are both on the line. In this market, commercial systems often share the same enemies as residential: year-round humidity, salt-laden coastal air that corrodes metal fittings, and pollen loads from the dense tropical canopy that surrounds most business districts. A typical commercial duct cleaning in West Palm Beach runs $1,200 to $3,500 depending on system size, access difficulty, and whether we need to coordinate around operating hours. We schedule these jobs to minimize disruption, and we provide the written price and guarantee upfront, just like our residential work.
Restaurant and Food-Service Systems
Grease-laden return air and heavy particle loads from open kitchens mean West Palm Beach restaurants need more frequent duct attention than typical office tenants. We use Abatement Technologies HEPA containment during cleaning so particulate doesn’t migrate into dining areas during service hours.
HOA and Multi-Family Coordination
Condo associations along Flagler Drive and in downtown West Palm Beach properties often need phased cleaning across multiple units. We coordinate with property managers, document each unit’s condition with before-and-after photos, and bill per system with no per-vent add-ons that inflate the final invoice.
Air Duct Cleaning Services in West Palm Beach
Air Duct Cleaning Services in West Palm Beach are not a luxury in this climate; they’re maintenance that prevents bigger problems. Our residential customers typically call after noticing musty odors, uneven cooling, or a spike in allergy symptoms, and what we find in their attics usually explains all three. A standard whole-home cleaning in West Palm Beach runs $380 to $650, though homes with collapsed flex duct or extensive mold remediation can reach $800 to $1,200 when resealing and repair are included. We don’t quote per-vent teaser rates that balloon at the door. Our Air Duct Cleaning team gives one flat price per system, agreed in writing, before any equipment enters your home.
Video Inspection and Documentation
We feed a camera through your supply and return runs before and after cleaning so you see the condition we found and the result we delivered. In West Palm Beach’s older homes, this often reveals separated liner, crushed runs, or standing condensation that a basic cleaning alone won’t fix.
Negative-Air Extraction with HEPA Filtration
Our Nikro units create controlled suction at the duct wall while Rotobrush agitation dislodges debris, and Abatement Technologies HEPA filtration captures loosened particles before they re-enter your living space. It’s thorough source removal, not just blowing dust around.

Trusted Brands We Service in West Palm Beach
We clean and service ductwork connected to all major HVAC brands, and we stock Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Guardsman filtration products for West Palm Beach homeowners who want to maintain cleaner air between professional cleanings. Our technicians carry common replacement fittings and sealing materials on every truck, so when we find separated flex duct or corroded collars in your attic, we can often repair same-day without a return trip. That matters in West Palm Beach, where a second appointment means another hot afternoon with compromised airflow.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in West Palm Beach Homes
- Collapsed flex duct in 140-155°F attics. The radiant heat in unconditioned West Palm Beach attics degrades flex duct liner far faster than manufacturer ratings predict, especially in 15- to 20-year-old retrofits. We regularly find runs where the liner has pulled away from the wire helix, creating gaps that suck in attic dust and defeat any cleaning until resealing is done.
- Mold contamination that returns after basic cleaning. Because AC systems here run nearly 12 months a year against 80%+ humidity, duct interiors never dry out completely. Surface cleaning alone won’t stop regrowth; we address the moisture source and apply appropriate treatments where needed.
- Crushed runs in historic home retrofits. El Cid and Flamingo Park homes built in the 1920s to 1940s had central air added decades later, often with flex duct crammed into tight attic chases with inadequate support. These crushed sections starve rooms of airflow and trap debris where brushes can’t reach without repair.
- Heavy tropical pollen loading return systems. Brazilian pepper, Melaleuca, and palm pollen in West Palm Beach don’t take a winter break. When return ducts are already lined with mold or dust, this year-round pollen load compounds indoor air quality problems significantly.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in West Palm Beach, FL

Commercial systems start around $1,200 and scale with square footage and access complexity.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in West Palm Beach
Every three to five years for most West Palm Beach homes, though homes in Flamingo Park, El Cid, or other areas with 1980s-and-older flex duct often need inspection every two to three years because of accelerated liner degradation in extreme attic heat. Call (469) 972-3151 and we’ll tell you honestly whether you’re due.
West Palm Beach’s coastal position forces AC systems to run almost continuously against humidity that regularly exceeds 80%, so duct interiors never get a dry cycle between cooling periods. That sustained condensation creates mold growth far more severe than in central or north Florida cities where winter dry spells actually occur. We address this with thorough drying protocols and, when needed, treatments that target the root moisture condition, not just surface wiping.
Expect us to find flex duct that has separated, collapsed, or been crushed in tight attic chases, especially in pre-1980 homes. We document everything with video, quote any needed repairs in the same written estimate, and won’t proceed with cleaning alone if it would be pointless without resealing. The Kingswell Way requires us to say what we found, show you the footage, and give you the real fix, not the easy one.
Yes, our cleaning protocols follow NADCA guidelines for source removal, negative-air containment, and post-cleaning verification. We exceed them in one respect: our written 365-Day Done Right Promise, which NADCA doesn’t require but we put on every job anyway. If our work falls short within that year, we return and make it right at no charge.
Tropical vegetation in West Palm Beach, including palm, Brazilian pepper, and Melaleuca, produces pollen continuously rather than seasonally. When your return ducts already harbor mold or accumulated dust, that pollen sticks, decomposes, and becomes part of the contamination cycle. Cleaning removes the accumulated load; upgrading to Honeywell or Aprilaire filtration helps manage what comes in next.
