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 Sunset
Air duct cleaning in Sunset, FL typically costs between $450 and $950 for a full residential system, depending on the home’s square footage, the number of returns, and how much sealing or repair work the ducts need. Most jobs in this neighborhood run toward the higher end of that range because so many homes still run original fiberglass ductboard that has degraded in the attic heat and humidity. We know Sunset’s homes because we work them every week. If you’re seeing mold staining around ceiling registers or your AC smells musty when it kicks on, call (980) 447-2498 for a straight answer and a written price before any work starts.
Sunset sits at the western suburban fringe of Miami-Dade County, directly downwind of Everglades wetlands that push unusually high ambient mold-spore and organic-particulate loads into residential air intakes year-round. Because AC systems here run 10 – 11 months annually under humidity that regularly exceeds 90%, ductwork accumulates biofilm and mold colonies measurably faster than in any inland or northern Florida market. Duct cleaning in Sunset is not a cosmetic service. It’s a health necessity, and the approach has to match the housing stock.
We coordinate dispatch and scheduling from our Miami (South FL) office, and crews serve Sunset locally with fully equipped rigs. Call (980) 447-2498 and a live person answers. Every time.
Why Linden Air Duct Cleaning Is Sunset’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
Homeowners in Sunset call us because we tell them exactly who is coming to the door before the van even arrives. Every technician is background-checked, identity-verified, and arrives in a clean, marked uniform. Your tech’s name and photo are sent to you before the visit, and they show a photo ID badge at the door. That’s the Threshold Standard, and it matters when you’re letting someone into your home while you’re alone or with your kids.
We’ve been serving homeowners since 2004 as part of the Threshold Group family. That’s 20-plus years of watching how Sunset’s original ductboard systems fail, how the attic heat sags flex duct at the collars, and how Everglades-downwind spore loads turn a dusty system into a mold-colonized one. We don’t guess at what’s wrong. We put a camera in the duct and show you. Then we give you a written price before any work begins, and the price doesn’t change when the job is done.
Every repair we make in Sunset is covered by a written 365-Day Done Right Promise. If the work is not right, we make it right. If a covered repair fails, we come back free. No fine print, no callback queues. Call (980) 447-2498 and speak to a real person, 24/7.
Residential Air Duct Cleaning in Sunset
Residential Air Duct Cleaning in Sunset means more than running a vacuum through the vents. It means assessing whether the original fiberglass ductboard and first-generation flex duct from the late 1960s through the 1990s can even be cleaned, or whether it has degraded to the point that cleaning would release fiberglass particulate into your air. “Source removal” is the industry term for what we do. That means negative-pressure extraction with agitation, HEPA filtration on the exhaust, and sealing every connection so attic air stops bleeding into your supply side. A full system cleaning for a typical Sunset CBS home runs $450 – $850, and if we’re cutting out crushed or mold-colonized runs and re-sealing connections, the job commonly lands between $700 and $950.
Full System Cleaning with Before-and-After Photos
We clean the supply ducts, the return ducts, the plenums, the blower compartment, and the registers. Before we start, we show you what’s actually inside with a video camera. After we finish, we show you the same angles again. You know the work was done because you can see it.
Supply and Return Duct Cleaning as Separate Jobs
Some Sunset homeowners have already had the supply side cleaned and just need the return side addressed, or vice versa. We’ll quote those separately at $225 – $400 per side depending on the run count and accessibility. The written price you get before work starts is the price you pay.
Commercial Air Duct Cleaning in Sunset
Commercial Air Duct Cleaning in Sunset means working around business hours, larger duct diameters, and tighter access. Restaurants, medical offices, daycares, and small retail spaces along SW 72nd Street and the commercial corridors running through Sunset need regular duct maintenance because their systems run even harder than residential units, and the humidity plus occupancy load creates faster buildup. A typical small commercial space in Sunset runs $800 – $2,200 depending on the square footage of the duct system and whether the job needs to happen after hours.
After-Hours Work Without Disruption
We schedule commercial cleaning on nights and weekends when that works better for your tenants or customers. The equipment is the same commercial-grade Rotobrush and Nikro gear we use on homes, and the written price applies the same way. You know what the job costs before the first floor tile is pulled.
Video Inspection for Lease and Compliance Documentation
Property managers in Sunset use our before-and-after video files to document the condition of duct systems at turnover or before a health inspection. We provide the footage and a written summary of what was cleaned, what was sealed, and what still needs attention.
Trusted Brands We Service in Sunset
We work on the systems and materials we encounter most in Sunset homes, including Aprilaire air cleaners, Guardsman antimicrobial duct treatments, and the Rotobrush and Nikro cleaning equipment we run on every job. We stock the common replacement flex-duct sizes, mastics, and collar hardware for the CBS-era systems that dominate this neighborhood, so a repair found during a cleaning usually gets fixed the same day, not scheduled for a callback. If you have an Aprilaire or Honeywell filter housing in the system, we’ll pull and clean it as part of the full job.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Sunset Homes
- Mold staining around ceiling registers from attic disconnects. In Sunset’s original ductboard systems, the staining is downstream of a disconnected or crushed flex run in the attic that keeps feeding spores back into the supply ducts after any cleaning. The register is the symptom; the attic connection is the disease.
- Degraded fiberglass ductboard releasing particulate. A vacuum-only pass on porous, decades-old ductboard breaks down the liner further and sends fiberglass into the airstream instead of removing it. The liner has to be assessed for replacement, not just agitated.
- Sagging flex duct at collars and boots. Attic temps of 130 – 140°F in Sunset cause flex duct to sag and pull apart at connections over time. A cleaning that skips re-sealing and re-supporting those connections will show the same mold return within a single South Florida cooling season.
- Crushed runs in tight attic spaces. Sunset’s low-slope CBS roofs mean cramped attics with shallow truss space. Ducts get stepped on, pinched by stored boxes, or crushed under newer roof sheathing work. We find and repair these with the camera before cleaning starts.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Sunset, FL
A full residential Air Duct Cleaning job in Sunset runs $450 – $850 for a typical three-bedroom home.

Commercial spaces run $800 – $2,200 depending on system size and scheduling.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Sunset
Sunset sits directly downwind of the Everglades, which means high ambient mold-spore loads year-round, and the homes here are mostly CBS construction from the 1960s through the 1990s running original fiberglass ductboard. The combination of 10 – 11 months of AC operation, humidity above 90%, and attic temps hitting 130 – 140°F degrades the duct liner until it becomes a spore reservoir. The staining you see at the register is the exit point. Call (980) 447-2498 and we’ll camera the run to show you the source.
It depends on the liner’s condition, and the only way to know is a camera inspection. If the ductboard liner is still intact, we clean it under negative pressure with HEPA filtration and treat it with Guardsman antimicrobial. If the liner is porous, delaminating, or mold-colonized, cleaning it will release fiberglass particulate into your airstream, so the honest fix is to cut out and replace those sections. We’ll show you the footage and give you the written price either way.
Because the smell is usually coming from a disconnected or crushed flex run in the attic, not from the duct interior that was just cleaned. If you vacuum the ducts but don’t re-seal the collar where the flex pulled off the boot, raw attic air, mold spores, and Everglades particulate keep entering the supply side the moment the system turns on. A proper job in Sunset always includes re-sealing and re-supporting connections, not just vacuuming.
Yes, mostly because of the duct diameters, access, and scheduling. Commercial systems in Sunset’s medical offices and restaurants run longer hours, have more turns and fire dampers, and need after-hours work in most cases. We use the same negative-pressure source-removal method but with larger equipment and a written scope that includes the mechanical rooms and plenums. Call (980) 447-2498 for a walkthrough.
For a Sunset home running AC 10 – 11 months a year with Everglades spore loads and no sealed attic, every 3 to 5 years is reasonable. If you have pets, you live near open water or the park, or you’ve had a roof leak, lean toward every 3 years. If you’re seeing mold staining or smelling mustiness, don’t wait for the calendar.

Call Linden Air Duct Cleaning in Sunset
We pulled a Rotobrush rig and Nikro agitation tools into a 1979 CBS home off SW 72nd Street near Sunset Park after the homeowner noticed dark mold staining ringing the bedroom ceiling registers. Camera inspection showed a collapsed flex-duct run that had been dumping raw 135°F attic air, loaded with Everglades-origin Cladosporium and Aspergillus spores, into the supply side for years. We cut out the crushed section, sealed the plenum connections to NADCA standards under negative pressure with HEPA filtration on the exhaust, and the register staining stopped recurring within the season. That’s the work we do in Sunset. Call (980) 447-2498 and talk to a live person, any time, day or night. You’ll get a written price before work starts, the tech’s name and photo before arrival, and a 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing if anything falls short.
