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.

Air duct cleaning in Greenacres typically runs $350-$650 for a full residential system, and most jobs are scheduled within a few days of your call. We’re Morton’s Air Duct Cleaning, and we’ve been working in Greenacres homes since 2005. Our dispatch and scheduling are coordinated from our Miami office, but our crews serve Greenacres directly - we know the subdivisions off Haverhill Road, the CBS ranch homes near Riverbreeze, and the particular headaches that come with 1970s and 1980s flex ductwork baking in unconditioned attics.

Why Morton’s Air Duct Cleaning Is Greenacres’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
Greenacres homeowners call us back because we treat their houses like our own. Our technicians wear shoe covers and lay drop cloths before stepping past the threshold, and we schedule around nap times when there’s a toddler down the hall.

We’re part of the Cedarwell family of independently owned companies, and every Morton’s crew works to the Cedarwell Care Promise: background-checked, uniformed technicians who use professional Rotobrush and Nikro equipment, not rental gear from the hardware store.

Air Duct Inspection in Greenacres
Air Duct Inspection in Greenacres is where we always start, because the housing stock here demands it. Most Greenacres homes are concrete-block construction from the 1970s and 1980s, with original fiberglass flex duct suspended in attics that hit 140 °F through the summer. Before we run any agitation tool through those brittle runs, we feed a camera through the system to map what we’re dealing with - separated joints, crushed sections, heat-degraded duct walls that might not survive aggressive cleaning.
A typical camera inspection in Greenacres runs $150-$250. We’ll show you what we see on the monitor, explain what it means for your airflow and indoor air quality, and give you a written price for any cleaning or sealing work before we proceed.
What We Look For in Older Attic Systems
We’re checking for three specific failure modes that are routine in Greenacres: collar joints where mastic has crumbled away, sagging flex duct that’s pulled away from supports, and return runs that have started drawing attic air - and insulation fibers - straight into your air handler. Finding these before cleaning prevents us from blowing debris into your living space or collapsing a brittle run.
When to Schedule an Inspection
Call for an inspection if you’ve noticed uneven cooling between rooms, a persistent dusty smell when the AC cycles on, or higher energy bills without a rate increase. In Greenacres’s near-constant AC climate, these symptoms usually point to duct leakage or blockage, not just dirty registers.
Residential Air Duct Cleaning in Greenacres
Residential Air Duct Cleaning in Greenacres means source removal - pulling debris from the entire duct run, not just wiping visible registers. We set the system under negative pressure with a Nikro HEPA-filtered collection unit, then use Rotobrush agitation tools to dislodge buildup from duct walls. For a typical single-story CBS home in Greenacres, expect $350-$550 for supply and return cleaning, or $450-$650 if we include the air handler and blower assembly.
But here’s what separates a proper Greenacres job from a surface clean: we almost always find that the original flex duct joints have separated or are held together by deteriorated mastic. Cleaning without re-sealing those joints just gives you clean ducts that immediately start leaking attic air back into your system. We include joint inspection and basic re-sealing in our full-system quote, and we’ll show you the before-and-after with our camera.
Protecting Your Home During the Visit
We lay drop cloths at the entry point and every room we access. Shoe covers stay on until we exit. If you’ve got a dog on the floor or a baby napping, we use quieter tools and schedule the noisier agitation work for when it’s least disruptive. Pet-safe product choices where available.
What the Job Actually Includes
Full system cleaning covers supply ducts, return ducts, registers, grilles, and the air handler cabinet. We photograph the clean-up before we leave. If we find disconnected runs or crushed flex duct during the job, we’ll stop, show you on camera, and give you a written price for the repair - no work proceeds without your okay.
Trusted Brands We Service in Greenacres
Our crews carry professional-grade equipment from Nikro, Honeywell, and Aprilaire - brands built for the demands of South Florida’s climate, not light-duty residential rental units. We stock HEPA filters, flexible duct supports, and mastic sealant appropriate for the high-heat attic conditions common in Greenacres CBS homes, which means most repairs don’t require a return visit for parts. When we find an air handler component that needs attention, we can source Honeywell and Aprilaire replacements quickly through our Miami-area supply chain. The equipment matters because brittle 1970s flex duct in a 140 °F attic requires gentler, more controlled agitation than newer metal duct systems - and the wrong tool in the wrong hands turns a cleaning into a replacement job.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Greenacres Homes
- Separated flex duct joints at collar connections. The original mastic in Greenacres’s 1970s-1980s homes has dried and crumbled after decades of attic heat, so joints that looked sealed are actually pulling unconditioned attic air - and insulation fibers - straight into the living space.
- Crushed or sagging flex duct runs. Original support straps have failed in the heat, letting ductwork rest against attic insulation or framing. These restricted passages collect debris and reduce airflow to rear rooms, which homeowners often mistake for an AC sizing problem.
- Mold and dust mite buildup from humidity cycling. Palm Beach County’s 70-85% relative humidity, even in winter, means condensation forms on duct surfaces every time the AC cycles off. Ducts that haven’t been cleaned and sealed become persistent moisture reservoirs.
- Fine sandy dust from South Florida’s flatland soils. The sandy dust characteristic of this region penetrates deeper into duct runs than typical household dust, settling through the entire system rather than collecting only near registers. Surface cleaning misses most of the load.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Greenacres, FL
Here’s what honest pricing looks like for Greenacres’s market. A camera inspection runs $150-$250. Residential duct cleaning for a typical single-story CBS home starts at $350 for supply-only cleaning, $350-$550 for supply and return, and $450-$650 if we include the air handler and blower motor. Commercial systems vary by square footage and HVAC configuration - call for a custom quote.
We don’t quote per-vent prices. That’s the bait-and-switch game: a low per-vent teaser that balloons once the crew is in your driveway. We give one flat price per system, agreed in writing before any work starts. What affects your specific cost? The number of HVAC zones, accessibility of attic ductwork, whether we find separated joints that need re-sealing, and if the air handler requires cleaning. Homes near Haverhill Road and Riverbreeze with original 1970s flex duct often need more joint repair than newer construction, which we build into the upfront quote - not added later.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Greenacres
It can, but only with a camera inspection first and controlled agitation after. We’ve cleaned hundreds of 1970s Greenacres systems, and the key is identifying brittle sections before running tools through them. When we find heat-degraded duct that’s too fragile, we’ll show you on camera and quote replacement of that specific run - we don’t force a cleaning that will destroy your ductwork. Call (323) 918-4345 and we’ll assess your specific system.
Those homes were built during the rapid westward expansion of West Palm Beach suburbs in the 1970s and 1980s, with fiberglass flex duct suspended in unconditioned attics using mastic and strap supports that weren’t designed for 40-plus years of 140 °F heat exposure. The mastic dries and crumbles; the straps fail; the joints separate. It’s not a construction defect - it’s simply materials reaching end of life in a harsh climate. Our field team sees this pattern consistently in the Riverbreeze area and nearby subdivisions.
Yes, though the bigger factor is what the humidity does to your ducts between cleanings. At 70-85% relative humidity even in winter, condensation forms on duct surfaces whenever the AC cycles off, creating persistent moisture that feeds mold and dust mites. Ducts that are cleaned but not properly sealed will re-colonize faster than in drier climates. We recommend inspection every 3-5 years for Greenacres homes, with cleaning timed to what the camera shows - not a rigid calendar schedule.
We start with camera inspection, then seal the system under negative pressure with a Nikro HEPA collection unit. Rotobrush agitation tools dislodge debris from supply and return runs while the vacuum pulls it out of your house. We clean registers, grilles, and the air handler cabinet. Crucially, we inspect every flex duct joint we can access - and re-seal separated collars with proper mastic and support. You get before-and-after camera footage, a photo of our clean-up, and a written record of what we found and fixed. Call (323) 918-4345 to schedule.
We recommend it, especially in Greenacres where the return duct often pulls attic air directly into the air handler. If your return has been drawing insulation fibers and unfiltered attic air for years, the blower wheel and evaporator coil are likely coated with debris that reduces efficiency and airflow. Adding the air handler to your duct cleaning runs $450-$650 total for most Greenacres homes, and it completes the system restoration rather than leaving the dirtiest component untouched.
