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 Palm Beach, FL
Air duct cleaning in Palm Beach means working inside walls that were built before central air conditioning existed, on an island where salt air works against metal year-round. Most of our Palm Beach jobs involve either a 1920s-to-1950s estate that had ductwork retrofitted through thick masonry, or a newer luxury condo with multi-zone systems that run through fire-rated corridors. You’ll get an honest price range before you call us: expect $349 to $1,100 for a whole-home duct cleaning depending on system size and access. Call (980) 447-2498 with your square footage and we’ll narrow it down.
Why Palm Beach Homes Are Different
The Town of Palm Beach is a barrier island less than half a mile wide, with the Atlantic on one side and the Lake Worth Intracoastal Waterway on the other. That geography drives everything we see on the job. Salt-laden air accelerates corrosion in sheet-metal ductwork and flex connections faster than anything you’ll find inland in Palm Beach County. Duct seams that would hold for decades in Greenacres start showing rust bloom in Palm Beach within a few years.
Compounding the salt problem is the seasonal calendar. Many of the island’s estates and high-end condominiums sit empty from May through October, the most humid stretch of the South Florida year. When dehumidification systems get switched off or set too high by absentee owners, interior relative humidity spikes. A sealed duct system that sat in that humidity all summer is a mold colonization event waiting to be found in November – and we find it, regularly, in homes along South Ocean Boulevard and the streets off Worth Avenue. Pre-season duct cleaning in October and November is some of the most predictable, high-demand work we do in Palm Beach.
The housing stock itself is the third factor. Mizner-era and Mediterranean Revival estates from the 1920s through the 1950s were never designed for forced air. Central HVAC was retrofitted decades later, often routed through long, irregular duct runs snaked through masonry walls. That means more turns, more dead-end branches, more places for debris to wedge itself where standard cleaning equipment can’t reach without reconfiguration. Newer ultra-luxury builds have the opposite challenge: elaborate multi-zone systems with extensive ductwork where one missed zone defeats the entire cleaning.
Our Main Palm Beach Services
Palm Beach homeowners and estate managers call us most often for two things: getting years of accumulated debris out of aging duct systems, and making aging duct systems stop leaking conditioned air into wall cavities. Here’s what each job actually involves on the island.
Air Duct Cleaning in Palm Beach
We use negative-pressure extraction with Rotobrush and Nikro equipment to pull debris out of your ductwork without blowing it back into the home. In Palm Beach, this often means working around 1930s-era plaster walls and narrow mechanical closets where access panels were added as an afterthought. The salt-air environment means we’re also checking for rust flaking inside sheet-metal runs while we work. If a seasonal home has sat closed all summer, we’ll frequently find biological growth that needs documented treatment. See our dedicated Air Duct Cleaning in Palm Beach page for pricing and process detail.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Palm Beach
A clogged dryer vent in a Palm Beach condo is a fire hazard multiplied by long vertical risers shared through multiple floors. Lint accumulation happens faster in humid environments because lint clumps and sticks rather than blowing clear. We clean the full run from dryer connection to exterior outlet, including tight rooftop and lanai-mounted terminations common in Palm Beach multi-story buildings. If your dryer has been taking longer than 45 minutes to dry towels, the vent is the likely culprit. See our Dryer Vent Cleaning in Palm Beach page for what the inspection covers.
Air Duct Repair in Palm Beach
Corrosion and old flex connections are the two failures we fix most in Palm Beach. Salt air eats galvanized seams, and flex duct that was marginal when installed degrades faster within a few hundred yards of the ocean. When a repair is needed, you get a written price before any work begins and a written guarantee on the repair itself. If a covered repair fails, we return at no charge. See our Air Duct Repair in Palm Beach page for the full repair process.

Brands We Service in Palm Beach
We work on residential duct systems connected to Trane, Carrier, Rheem, Lennox, York, and Goodman air handlers, which we see most often in Palm Beach estates and condos. Our parts inventory is stocked across the wider South Florida metro, and our crews carry Rotobrush and Nikro professional-grade cleaning equipment on Palm Beach jobs.

Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning Company in Palm Beach, FL
Palm Beach pricing runs at the higher end of national ranges for two reasons: system size and access difficulty. An 8,000-square-foot estate with three separate systems and ducts routed through 1930s masonry simply takes more labor hours than a 1,800-square-foot ranch in Greenacres. The table below reflects what we see on typical Palm Beach homes. Every job gets a written price before the work begins – no per-vent upsells, no surprises when the van arrives.
| Service | Typical range in Palm Beach |
|---|---|
| Whole-home air duct cleaning (single system, up to 10 vents) | $349 – $550 |
| Whole-home air duct cleaning (multiple systems or larger estate) | $550 – $1,100 |
| Dryer vent cleaning (single-story home or condo) | $89 – $165 |
| Dryer vent cleaning (multi-story or long vertical riser) | $165 – $275 |
| Air duct repair – minor sealing / small flex duct replacement | $150 – $400 |
| Air duct repair – moderate corrosion repair at accessible joints | $400 – $850 |
| Air duct repair – extensive duct section replacement or rebuild | $850 – $2,500+ |
If your Palm Beach home has a system that’s seen multiple decades of salt air, expect the repair conversation to include corrosion at seams and the condition of flex connections. Everyone gets the same before-work written price, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise applies to every cleaning job we complete.
Neighborhoods We Serve in Palm Beach
We work the entire Town of Palm Beach from the South End, including the Estate Section, up through Midtown and the North End. The challenge in the Estate Section is usually system age and masonry duct runs; in Midtown condos it’s riser access and getting equipment through elevators and tight corridors.
- Estate Section (South Ocean Boulevard and surrounding streets)
- Worth Avenue corridor and Midtown condominiums
- North End (North Lake Way and North Ocean Boulevard)
- Phipps Plaza and the Royal Poinciana area
- South End estates adjacent to the Lake Worth Inlet
Most Palm Beach residents can get a crew scheduled within 3 to 5 business days from the first call, depending on system size and the time of year. October and November, pre-season demand will be strongest, and we schedule multi-system estates in sequence to keep the work thorough.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning Company in Palm Beach
Every 3 to 5 years for a year-round residence, but seasonal homes that sit closed through the summer should be inspected and typically cleaned every 2 to 3 years. The humidity of an empty Palm Beach summer is the single biggest factor, and October or November is the ideal time to schedule before the house is reopened. Call (980) 447-2498 and we’ll help you set a realistic maintenance schedule.
Most condominium buildings in Palm Beach require a work authorization or vendor approval form before any contractor enters, and some Estate Section properties work through a property management firm rather than the owner directly. We coordinate with Worth Avenue-area property managers and building staff regularly, and will handle the access paperwork as part of the job. Call us with your building name and we’ll tell you what’s needed.

- Meredith L."Tech arrived with a badge and a printed sheet of what he'd be doing. Ran a camera through the main trunk before and after so I could see the dust difference. Vents smell cleaner already."
- Gina R."Priced by the system, not by the vent, and he told me up front. No pressure to add the sanitizer and I said no without any fuss."
- Faith N.
