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 Lockhart Homes Are Different
Lockhart sits just north of Orlando in the stretch between Forest City and Eatonville, where most homes were built in the 1970s and early 1980s. That age range matters for ductwork: flex ducts from that era often run through unconditioned attics, and after four decades of Central Florida humidity, they start holding onto dust, mold spores, and the fine sand that blows in from the Wekiva basin. The result is a system that recirculates particles every time the AC cycles – and in Lockhart, the AC cycles a lot. We also see a surprising number of homes where the return-side ductwork was undersized from the start, which pulls in debris faster than it should.
Lockhart’s neighborhoods, including the streets around Bear Lake Road and the communities near Rose Hill, deal with the same seasonal shift: a long, wet summer where the blower rarely stops, followed by a drier stretch when dust settles into every vent. Homes near the railroad corridor and along Edgewater Drive pick up more fine particulate than homes set back in the tree cover. All of this shapes our approach – we don’t do a one-size-fits-all cleaning. Omar Haddad’s crews assess duct material, access points, and airflow before quoting, so the price you see is the price for your actual house, not a template.
Our Main Lockhart Services
Lockhart homeowners call us for three things, each covered on its own page with specific pricing and local detail. Here’s the short version of what each job involves in this area.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Lockhart
Older Lockhart homes often have long dryer vent runs that snake through walls or crawl spaces, and humidity turns the lint into a dense, sticky build-up. We see vents that haven’t been opened since the house was built, which is a fire risk and a dryer killer. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Lockhart covers the full run: we use a Rotobrush to break lint free, then a Nikro HEPA vacuum for negative-pressure extraction, meaning the debris goes straight into the collection unit, not your laundry room. Most jobs take about an hour, and you get before-and-after photos before we leave.
Air Duct Cleaning in Lockhart
Duct cleaning in Lockhart means dealing with decades of build-up in flex ducts, often compounded by rodent intrusion in attics. Our Air Duct Cleaning in Lockhart page details the full process: rotary brush agitation with Rotobrush equipment, HEPA-filtered vacuum extraction with Nikro units, and optional sanitizing. We pay close attention to the return side, because in these older Lockhart homes that’s where the biggest restriction usually lives. Flats and single-family homes both fall within our typical service area here.
HVAC Cleaning in Lockhart
HVAC cleaning in Lockhart goes beyond the ducts: it includes the blower motor, evaporator coil, drain pan, and the air handler itself. A coil caked in dust and pet hair is the reason your AC runs longer and cools less, which pushes your electric bill up every summer. The HVAC Cleaning in Lockhart page covers coil cleaning, blower detail, and the filtration check we do on every visit. If you’ve never had the coil cleaned on a 1980s system, you’ll notice the airflow difference day one.
