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 Maitland
Air duct cleaning in Maitland, FL costs between $450 and $850 for a full system on a typical single-family home, and we give you one flat written price before a single vent is touched. That’s the honest range, and we stand behind it with before-and-after photos of your own ducts, a 365-Day Done Right Promise, and a process built on negative-pressure extraction, not a shop-vac and a quick wave. Call us at (737) 727-2314 and a live person answers, any time of day.
Maitland homes sit under a heavy live-oak canopy and within a few miles of several lakes, so ducts here collect a mix of fine pollen, oak catkins, and humid, musty debris – not just ordinary household dust. That cycle of humid air and tree pollen means ducts in Maitland can re-contaminate faster than in drier inland neighborhoods, and it’s a big reason we push source removal over a quick vacuum. Our Air Duct Cleaning process is built around that reality.

Air Duct Inspection in Maitland
Air Duct Inspection in Maitland is a camera-first look at the full duct system, from the return vents near your Dommerich Hills living room to the supply runs off the air handler in the garage. We run a video scope through the supply and return side, check the coil area and blower motor, and document buildup of lint, pollen, or mold. A typical inspection in Maitland runs $150 to $250. You see the footage. You decide if cleaning is warranted.
When an Inspection Makes Sense
If you just bought a 1960s or 1970s ranch near Lake Maitland, the ductwork may have survived multiple owners and decades of central Florida humidity. An inspection shows you whether the system has been cleaned, patched, or ignored. The camera doesn’t lie.
What the Footage Tells You
We’re looking for debris depth near return grilles, visible mold on fiberboard or flex duct liner, and blockages where oak pollen has caked. If the coil is caked or the blower wheel is thick with dust, we say so plainly, with timestamped video pulled from your own system.
Residential Air Duct Cleaning in Maitland
Residential Air Duct Cleaning in Maitland means extracting the pollen, oak catkins, and humid debris that settle in the ductwork of homes along Dommerich Hills, Druid Hills, and English Estates. The full system cleaning runs $450 to $850 for a typical single-family home, and we set that price in writing before the work starts. No per-vent pricing. Ever.
Source Removal, Not a Wave-Through
We connect a Nikro HEPA-filtered vacuum to create negative pressure in the system, then agitate each duct run from the inside. The loosened debris goes straight into the vacuum, not back into your living room. That’s the difference between cleaning and moving dust around.
Full System Means Full System
Supply ducts, return ducts, the air handler, blower motor, and coil housing all get addressed in one pass. We don’t call a job “done” if we skipped the return side. In Maitland’s lake-adjacent humidity, the return side is often where the musty smell lives.
Trusted Brands We Service in Maitland
We stock replacement filters and filtration products from Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Guardsman, and we run Abatement Technologies containment units, Nikro HEPA vacuums, and Rotobrush agitation systems. That means a Maitland homeowner isn’t waiting on filter shipments or watching a tech improvise with a borrowed vacuum. We carry the right gear to the door the first time.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Maitland Homes
- Return ducts lined with oak pollen. Our tech pulled up to a 1970s ranch in the Dommerich Hills area where the return ducts were lined with oak pollen and a musty film from the nearby lakes. We set up negative pressure with our Abatement Technologies unit, ran agitation tools through the supply and return ducts, and performed source removal back to the air handler. The homeowner was shocked by the before-and-after photos of the same duct run – she said she’d never seen inside her own system before.
- Compressed air used without negative pressure. Blowing compressed air through the vents without negative pressure just pushes Maitland’s oak pollen and humid debris back into the living space. We see the aftermath. It looks like cleaning, it isn’t.
- Hidden buildup near the coil and blower motor. Skipping a real camera inspection of the air handler and blower motor lets mold or deep dust go unnoticed. Maitland’s humidity feeds that growth. We shine a light on it.
- Per-vent pricing that inflates at the door. A flat rate that’s actually per-vent turns a $149 teaser into a $700 invoice once the crew is inside. We refuse that model. One flat price per system, written down, before we open the first vent.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Maitland
Every 3 to 5 years is the honest interval for most Maitland homes. Under the live-oak canopy and near the lakes, you can expect more pollen and humidity-fed dust than in inland neighborhoods, so 3 years is more appropriate for many homes. If you haven’t had a cleaning in 7 or more, it’s time. Call (737) 727-2314 and we’ll do a camera inspection first so you know what you’re paying for.
One flat price for the whole system, always. We quote the job, not the vent. A typical single-family home in Maitland runs $450 to $850 total, and that’s written down before we start. No per-vent upsells, no surprise charges once the van is in the driveway. Call (737) 727-2314 for an exact quote.
You get timestamped images of your own duct runs, taken before and after cleaning. The photos show the interior wall of the same duct section: one dusty, one clean. It’s evidence the work happened, not a claim. That’s part of The Relay Standard on every job.
