Air Duct Cleaningin Kendall, FL
Camera-inspected duct cleaning that removes dust, debris and growth from supply and return ducts.
Air Duct Cleaning for Kendall buildings
Forty-year-old attic ducts in Kendall are often grey flex duct with a brittle outer jacket, or duct board with failed tape at every joint. Air lost in the attic never reaches the bedrooms at the end of the run. We pressure-test the duct system and show you the leakage figure before recommending sealing or replacement.
Everything the filter misses ends up in the ductwork. In a humid climate that dust can hold moisture and support mould growth, which is then blown into every room each time the system starts.
We inspect with a camera first and show you the footage. If the ducts are clean, we tell you so. If they need cleaning, we use negative-pressure equipment and agitation tools suited to the duct material, since fibreglass duct board and flex duct must be handled differently from sheet metal.
When duct cleaning is worthwhile
- Visible dust blowing from the registers
- Dark streaks around supply vents
- A musty smell when the AC runs
- After renovation, water damage or a pest problem
- You have just moved into an older home
How we clean ducts
- We inspect supply and return ducts with a camera and share the footage.
- We connect a HEPA-filtered vacuum that keeps the duct system under negative pressure.
- We agitate and clean each run, plus registers, grilles and the return plenum.
- We show you the after footage and replace the filter.
Air Duct Cleaning in Kendall: questions
How often should air ducts be cleaned?
There is no fixed schedule. The EPA recommends cleaning when there is visible mould, pest contamination or heavy dust and debris. In South Florida, an inspection every few years is sensible.
Will duct cleaning lower my electric bill?
Not by much on its own. Cleaning the coils and blower and sealing duct leaks have a far larger effect on running cost.
Is a permit required for HVAC work in Kendall?
Installing or replacing air conditioning equipment in Kendall requires a mechanical permit and a final inspection. Permits here are issued by Miami-Dade County, since Kendall is unincorporated and has no city building department. Repairs, maintenance and cleaning do not need one. We file the paperwork and attend the inspection.
Who issues AC permits in Kendall?
Kendall is an unincorporated community, so mechanical permits come from Miami-Dade County's permitting office instead of a city building department. We file the permit, schedule the county inspection and meet the inspector on site.
Why are the back bedrooms in my Kendall house always warmer?
On single-storey Kendall homes the bedrooms are usually at the end of the longest duct runs. Leaky or crushed attic ducts and an undersized return are the usual causes. We measure airflow at each register and fix the duct problem, which is often cheaper than replacing the air conditioner.
