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.

Why Palmetto Homes Are Different
Palmetto sits in the Chattahoochee hill country on the southern edge of Coweta County, and the housing stock tells two distinct stories. Around Collinsworth Road and the older streets near the railroad line, you’ll find homes built from the 1960s through the 1980s, many with original metal duct runs that have decades of dust packed into the joints. A few miles east toward Tyrone and the newer subdivisions off Fayetteville Road, you’ll get homes built after 2010 with flex duct and central returns that collect construction debris from day one. Both conditions hold dust in different ways, and a Palmetto tech learns to read what the duct style says about where to look.
Georgia’s long stretch of high pollen days from March through early June plus the humid summer months mean your air handler in Palmetto is pulling in air that is heavy with particulate all year. Homes with pets or carpeted bedrooms near Whiteside Road or Toombs Street will typically see buildup faster. Older Palmetto homes also tend to have returns sized smaller than today’s code would allow, which means the system has to work harder and any restriction inside the ductwork shows up as a hotter upstairs and a longer cooling cycle. That is the kind of thing we check for on every Palmetto job, because it changes where we spend the most time with the brush.
Our Main Palmetto Services
Palmetto homeowners most often call us for two things: full air duct cleaning when the dust and allergy season have clearly taken a toll, and dryer vent cleaning when the laundry room starts holding heat or the dryer takes two cycles to finish a load. Each service has its own dedicated Palmetto page below, so you’ll get pricing, local specifics, and what to expect without a sales pitch.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Palmetto
Palmetto’s mix of older ranch homes and larger two-story builds means dryer vent runs here vary from a short exterior wall punch-out to a 20-foot run with one or two bends through a second story. The longer and more angled the run, the faster lint compacts, and in Palmetto’s humid climate that damp lint cakes against the duct walls and becomes a legitimate fire risk over time. We run a rotary brush the full length of the vent plus a negative-pressure capture so the lint goes into our collection unit, not onto your grass or back into the laundry room. Pricing details and the exact plan for your style of home are on the Dryer Vent Cleaning in Palmetto page.
Air Duct Cleaning in Palmetto
A full air duct cleaning in Palmetto means loosening the caked-on dust and debris along every branch line, then extracting it with a HEPA vacuum rather than pushing it through the house. In older Palmetto homes with metal ducts and inner liners, the brush also dislodges the film that years of Georgia humidity leave behind. We clean supply and return lines plus the main trunk, and we photograph the before and after so you can actually see what changed. See the full pricing breakdown and a walkthrough of the process on the Air Duct Cleaning in Palmetto page.
HVAC Cleaning in Palmetto
HVAC cleaning in Palmetto goes a step beyond the ducts and into the equipment itself: the coil, the blower wheel, the drain pan, and the cabinet interior where condensed moisture grows the kind of buildup that smells like a wet sock when the fan first kicks on. Palmetto’s summer conditions make coil and drain maintenance matter more here than in drier parts of the state. We use a dedicated cleaning process for the air handler and evaporator coil, then leave the system running to confirm airflow is back where it should be. Full details are on the HVAC Cleaning in Palmetto page.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning Company in Palmetto
Most Palmetto homes can be scheduled within a few business days, depending on how full the current week’s calendar is. Some customers book two to three weeks out during peak spring allergy season. The booking call gives you a live arrival window you can track, not an all-day wait.
No. Air duct cleaning, dryer vent cleaning, and HVAC cleaning are all interior maintenance work, so no HOA approval or permit is needed anywhere in Palmetto or Coweta County. The only practical consideration is driveway access for our van, which we confirm on the phone before the appointment.
Yes. Older metal ducts in Palmetto’s 1960s and 1970s homes often take a little longer to clean properly, but the process is the same and the pricing estimate accounts for the extra brushing time. Before-and-after photos show you exactly what came out and what the inside of the duct looks like after.
