From the census to your air handler

Built in two decades, serviced two different ways.

Half of Delray Beach’s 36,997 homes date from just two decades: 26.9% from the 1970s, 24.0% from the 1980s. Altogether, 44.0% are older than 1980. Duct of either vintage is overdue to be opened and inspected at least once, and a home that age has usually gone through at least one air handler already.

Detached houses are a third of the city (33.3%), and each has one system for every room, run through its own attic. Apartments and condos in fifty-plus-unit buildings add up to 13.0% of homes; in those, the air handler stands in a closet and the runs are short. Both are everyday work in Delray Beach, and they start differently: the homeowner books a house directly, while a unit in a big building is first cleared with the building’s manager or association.

Owners live in 65.0% of those homes, so the caller is most often whoever lives there. That points to the whole system rather than the one room that bothers you: your registers and returns come off and are photographed, after which brushes and vacuum work back through each run, then the plenum, and on to the air handler.

  • Nicholas A.

    Had the staff conduct an air vent clean and dust bunnies stopped stacking up on our ceiling fan blades.

  • ema V.

    If someone asked me who to use for air duct cleaning, ld send them to this company. We had a really good experience.

  • jonah C.

    Really appreciated the care they put into cleaning our air ducts. The guys were respectful, helpful, and did a really nice job.

Worth asking

Six questions from Delray Beach homes.

Your question not listed? Call (561) 652-6273 and put it to a technician directly; there’s no obligation.

Ask my question
When is a Delray Beach home due for a duct cleaning?
For a typical Florida home, 3 to 5 years between cleanings. Shorten that if you have pets or allergies, if you’ve renovated recently, or if a fresh layer of dust shows up days after you’ve cleaned. Delray Beach has 44.0% of its homes older than 1980, so here the first inspection tends to come late, not early.
How long will the crew be at my place?
For a typical detached house, two to four hours; the more vents and air handlers, the closer it runs to four. A third of Delray Beach (33.3%) is detached single-family, so this whole-house visit is a common one here. Cleaning only the dryer vent normally takes less than an hour.
Can a condo building or an HOA book you?
Yes. In Delray Beach, 13.0% of homes are in fifty-plus-unit buildings and another 9.7% in buildings of twenty to forty-nine. The date there is set with the property manager or the association, and the scope of the work is settled with them before we arrive.
Does living by the Intracoastal affect my system?
It can affect the metal. Salt carried on the air near the water speeds up corrosion of anything metal left exposed: duct collars, the dryer’s exterior hood, fasteners inside the air handler’s cabinet. Each of those gets photographed as we work, which shows you whether corrosion, not dust, is what’s robbing you of airflow.
Does an adult have to let you in?
Yes, someone over 18, both to open the door for the technician and to go over what we found once we finish, before-and-after photographs included. The owner doesn’t have to be the one; a tenant or the building manager can stand in.
What decides the price?
Three variables: floor area, how many systems run the home, and the duct’s condition once it’s opened. That last one can’t be judged from the driveway, so you get the quote on site, and the number is in your hands before a register comes off or any work begins.
Pick your day

Your symptom is where the inspection starts.

The three calls that come in most: the air smells musty as the system starts, one room never cools, a load of laundry takes two dryer cycles. Say which it is, and whether the home is a detached house or a condo unit.
