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 Harbor, FL
Air duct cleaning in Palm Harbor usually costs between $380 and $620 for a full system, depending on home size, number of returns, and how long it’s been since the last cleaning. Most Palm Harbor homes we inspect were built between 1975 and 1995, which means their original flex ductwork has spent decades baking in attic heat and cycling Gulf-humidity air. That combination creates a specific set of problems here that a generic duct cleaning checklist doesn’t address. If you want an honest assessment of what’s inside your ducts and a written price before any work starts, call us at (980) 447-2498.
Why Palm Harbor Homes Are Different
Palm Harbor grew fast from the mid-1970s through the mid-1990s, and the housing stock reflects that boom. Subdivisions like East Lake Woodlands, Tarpon Woods, and Lansbrook went up quickly, nearly all of them with ductwork routed through unconditioned attics rather than crawlspaces or basements. Those original fiberglass flex runs are now 30 to 45 years old, which means they’re a full decade or more past the typical 25 to 30 year service life.
Attic temperatures in Palm Harbor routinely exceed 150°F in summer, and the air conditioning runs 10 to 11 months a year. That means the ducts never fully dry between cycles. Return air pulls Gulf-humidity moisture through the system constantly, and we regularly find mold colonized inside aging flex liners in homes along the East Lake corridor. Salt-laden air off the Gulf also corrodes metal duct collars and air handler cabinets faster here than inland. The result is that a Palm Harbor duct inspection often turns up liner collapse or joint separation that has been quietly strangling airflow to a back bedroom for years without the homeowner knowing it.
Our Main Palm Harbor Services
Most Palm Harbor homeowners contact us first about one of three things: cleaning the ducts they suspect are dirty, clearing a dryer vent that’s no longer drying, or repairing a duct run that’s come apart. Each service has its own Palm Harbor page with details.
Air Duct Cleaning in Palm Harbor
Our Air Duct Cleaning in Palm Harbor service uses negative-pressure extraction to pull debris out of the system rather than push it around. In Palm Harbor specifically, we pay close attention to return-air grilles in older tract homes, where original fiberglass duct board can be visibly black with mold. The job covers supply runs, returns, the air handler, and the plenum. Most whole-home cleanings in Palm Harbor run three to five hours depending on the number of returns and whether the system has ever been cleaned before.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Palm Harbor
Dryer vents in Palm Harbor clog faster than people expect because humidity slows lint evaporation inside the run. A vent that worked fine in a drier climate can pack solid here in two to three years. Our Dryer Vent Cleaning in Palm Harbor service clears the full run from the dryer to the exterior termination, including around any lint trap bypass. Long roof-terminated vents common in two-story Palm Harbor homes need commercial-grade rotary brushes and vacuum extraction, and we carry equipment built for exactly that.
Air Duct Repair in Palm Harbor
When a flex run collapses or separates in an unconditioned attic, the system keeps blowing conditioned air into dead space. Our Air Duct Repair in Palm Harbor work includes locating the failed section, assessing whether it can be reconnected and resealed or needs replacement, and rebuilding it to current code. Every repair receives a written guarantee and a free second visit if the repair does not hold. In Palm Harbor, joint separation and liner collapse are the two most common failures we find in original 1980s and 1990s flex systems.
