Fast, Reliable Air Duct Cleaning Across Palm Beach
Air duct cleaning in Palm Beach typically runs $350-$850 for a full residential system, with most jobs completed in a single visit. We’re Bellows Air Duct & Vent Co., and we’ve been serving barrier island homes since 2012. Our Air Duct Cleaning team knows the difference between a generic duct job and one built for Palm Beach’s salt-laden air, historic retrofits, and snowbird schedules. We answer calls live, 24 hours a day, at (844) 685-6342.
Palm Beach isn’t like West Palm Beach or Boca Raton. The island’s double-water exposure, its Mediterranean Revival estates with ductwork squeezed through attics never designed for it, and the annual May-to-October shutdown cycle all create problems you won’t find inland. We’ve cleaned ducts in the Estate Section, along South Ocean Boulevard, and throughout the South End. We know what to look for.
Why Bellows Air Duct & Vent Co. Is Palm Beach’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
We’ve worked on Palm Beach homes for over 14 years. That means we’ve crawled through the tight attic spaces above flat roofs in Mizner-era estates, traced irregular duct runs behind custom millwork soffits, and dealt with the mold colonies that bloom in sealed-up summer homes. Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed, and they arrive with camera inspection equipment to show you exactly what’s inside your ducts before we touch a thing.
Palm Beach homeowners call us back because we don’t bait-and-switch. The price we quote on the phone is the price on the invoice. Our 90-Day Done Right Promise means if something’s not right, we return at no charge with no paperwork to argue over. We’ve built our name on never needing to be called back twice.
Our office answers live, 24/7. Not voicemail. Not an app. A real person who can dispatch a technician to Palm Beach, schedule your fall pre-season cleaning, or talk through what we found on last year’s camera inspection.
Our Air Duct Cleaning Services in Palm Beach
Residential Duct Cleaning
Palm Beach’s housing stock demands a careful hand. The 1920s-1940s Mediterranean Revival estates popularized by Addison Mizner were built without central air, and retrofit ductwork was threaded through tight attic spaces and interior soffits never designed for it. These irregular runs trap moisture, especially above flat roofs that bake in summer heat. Our residential cleaning uses Rotobrush agitation and HEPA vacuum collection to remove buildup without damaging aging ductwork. We clean every branch, from the main trunk to the register boot, and we camera-verify before and after.
Commercial Duct Cleaning
Palm Beach’s commercial properties include boutique hotels, private clubs, and professional offices along Worth Avenue and Royal Poinciana Way. These systems accumulate the same salt aerosol and humidity load as residential ducts, often faster due to higher air volumes. We scale our equipment to the job, using Nikro and Abatement Technologies commercial-grade HEPA systems. Most commercial cleanings in Palm Beach are completed after hours or during the slower summer season to avoid disrupting business.
Supply Duct Cleaning
Supply ducts push conditioned air into your living spaces. In Palm Beach’s oversized luxury homes, these runs are long and often branch through multiple floors. When snowbird estates sit sealed from May through October, stagnant air in supply lines becomes a breeding ground for mold and mildew. We focus particular attention on supply branches in retrofitted attic spaces, where summer heat superheats the duct interior. Our supply duct cleaning includes register removal and cleaning, boot inspection, and airflow verification.
Return Duct Cleaning
Return ducts pull air back to the HVAC system for reconditioning. In Palm Beach’s historic homes, returns are often hidden behind custom millwork or built into decorative soffits that can’t be altered without damaging the architecture. We serviced a 1937 Mizner-era home on Via Mizner where the return duct, tucked behind a custom millwork soffit, had thick black mold coating the interior after a summer shutdown. We used our Rotobrush and HEPA-vac system to clean every branch, then applied an Aprilaire UV light in the plenum to prevent regrowth, restoring healthy airflow before the owner arrived for the season.
Full System Cleaning
A full system cleaning addresses every component: supply ducts, return ducts, trunk lines, plenums, and registers. For Palm Beach homes, this is often the right choice before fall occupancy. After six months of sealed-up stagnation, mold colonies can colonize the entire system, not just one branch. Our full system cleaning includes before-and-after camera documentation, so you see what was there and what we removed. Most full system cleanings in Palm Beach take four to six hours and are done in a single visit.
Video Inspection
We camera-inspect every Palm Beach job before and after cleaning. Our video inspection reveals what you can’t see: mold growth in hidden branches, corrosion from salt-laden air, disconnected segments in retrofitted ductwork, and debris accumulation that restricts airflow. The video becomes your record, not just ours. Many Palm Beach homeowners request a standalone video inspection before the fall season to assess whether cleaning is needed after summer shutdown.

Trusted Brands We Service in Palm Beach
We work with the brands serious HVAC contractors specify: Rotobrush for duct agitation, Aprilaire for UV air purification and filtration, and Abatement Technologies for HEPA containment and vacuum systems. We stock parts and accessories for Palm Beach customers, so if your camera inspection reveals a corroded register or failed seal, we can often replace it during the same visit rather than scheduling a return trip. That matters on an island where every service call involves bridge traffic and tight scheduling windows.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Palm Beach Homes
- Mold regrowth in retrofitted attic ducts. The flat roofs on Mizner-era homes superheat attic spaces in summer. When snowbirds close up from May to October, stagnant humid air inside those ducts breeds visible mold colonies by fall. Cleaning right before occupancy is essential, but without addressing the heat load, mold returns.
- Salt corrosion of metal ductwork and registers. Palm Beach’s barrier island geography exposes HVAC systems to salt-laden marine air from both the Atlantic and the Intracoastal Waterway simultaneously. This double exposure corrodes metal ducts and registers faster than in inland cities like Boca Raton or Delray Beach, creating hidden leaks if seals aren’t inspected annually.
- Oversized systems short-cycling in luxury homes. Palm Beach’s large estates require substantial cooling capacity, but oversized HVAC systems short-cycle, failing to run long enough to dehumidify. Condensation inside ducts feeds mildew unless the system is balanced during cleaning.
- Irregular duct runs trapping moisture. Retrofitted ductwork through tight attic spaces and interior soffits creates sharp turns and low points where moisture pools. These spots rarely dry completely in Palm Beach’s humid climate, becoming chronic problem areas.

FAQs - Air Duct Cleaning in Palm Beach
Yes. We strongly recommend a full system cleaning and video inspection before fall occupancy. Six months of sealed-up stagnation in Palm Beach’s humid, salt-laden air virtually guarantees mold and mildew growth inside ductwork, especially in retrofitted attic systems. We can schedule your cleaning for late September or early October so your air is clean before you arrive. Call (844) 685-6342 to reserve your pre-season slot.
Yes. We cover all of 33480, from the Estate Section north of Worth Avenue to the South End along South Ocean Boulevard. Our technicians are familiar with the access requirements and architectural constraints of both areas. Most appointments in 33480 are scheduled within 24 to 48 hours.
We work around existing millwork without modification. Our flexible Rotobrush hoses and compact HEPA vacuums access ducts through standard register openings, and we use borescope cameras to navigate hidden runs. In the Via Mizner home we mentioned, the return was fully concealed behind a decorative soffit. We cleaned it completely without touching the surrounding woodwork. If access is truly impossible through existing openings, we’ll discuss minimal, reversible options with you before proceeding.
Duct cleaning removes the debris and moisture that accelerate corrosion, but it won’t reverse existing metal damage. During our camera inspection, we assess the condition of your ductwork and registers. If corrosion has compromised seals or structural integrity, we’ll show you and can replace corroded components with corrosion-resistant alternatives. Annual cleaning and inspection is the best prevention for Palm Beach’s aggressive salt-air environment. Call (844) 685-6342 to schedule.
We don’t modify smart-home programming, but we coordinate with your HVAC technician or smart-home installer. Our camera inspection documentation helps them assess whether airflow restrictions or duct damage are causing the short-cycling or humidity control issues your system may be reporting. We clean the ducts; they optimize the controls. Together, the system performs as designed.
