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.

AfterCarrier Air Duct Cleaning in Miami, CA | Morton’s Air Duct Cleaning
Air Duct Cleaning in Miami for a Carrier system costs between $450 and $1,100 for a full system on a single-family home, and the thing that sets Miami apart from every other market we work in is simple: we’re rarely cleaning dust. We’re cleaning mold, and we’re working around duct boots set in concrete that can’t be replaced. Morton’s Air Duct Cleaning is an independent Carrier service provider, not manufacturer-affiliated, and we’ve spent years inside Carrier air handlers across Miami-Dade. Call (323) 918-4345 for a written estimate before anyone touches your system.
Why Miami Residents Choose Us for Carrier Service
Miami’s post-war concrete block homes hide Carrier ductwork in places no stick-frame house ever has to deal with. We’ve opened enough Carrier fan coils in attics pushing 140°F to know exactly where condensation collects, where flex duct liners collapse, and where the mold takes hold first. Paul Adeyemi, our owner, grew up in Inglewood and trained in ventilation mechanics at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College. He’s spent nearly two decades inside the walls and attics of homes across the Los Angeles basin, and when he says we’ll lay down drop cloths before anything else, it’s because he’s seen too many crews skip that step.
Before we start, let me show you exactly what we found and exactly what it will cost to fix it. That’s how we open every Carrier job in Miami, whether it’s a 1960s CBS ranch in West Little Havana or a fan-coil unit in a Brickell high-rise. We carry OEM-equivalent Carrier flex duct, mastic, and coil-cleaning chemistry on the truck, so the parts you need don’t wait on a supply house across town. For full details on our broader Carrier work, see Carrier sales & service.
Common Carrier Air Duct Cleaning Problems We Solve in Miami
- Mold on the blower wheel and coil face in Carrier fan-coil cabinets. Miami’s wet season keeps outdoor relative humidity above 80% for months. When a Carrier Infinity or Performance air handler cycles off, warm humid air drifts back into the return and condenses on the cold coil. In a dry climate that coil dries out. In Miami it stays wet, and microbial growth takes hold. We open these units and find active mold, not dust.
- Collapsed flex duct inner liners in 140°F attics. The original Carrier flex runs in postwar CBS homes bake in attic heat that most of the country never sees. The inner liner wrinkles, traps moisture and debris, and eventually chokes airflow. Your blower runs hotter and longer, and the house still feels damp. We repair or replace those runs so the system can move air again.
- Leaking slab-embedded duct boots in Hialeah and West Little Havana. Miami’s 1950s through 1980s CBS homes often have Carrier duct boots poured directly into the concrete. You can’t swap those out. What you can do is seal the boot-to-flex transition with mastic, patch the micro-gaps where dust and attic air get pulled in, and clean the full supply-and-return path so what’s left actually flows.
- Wet-season evaporator coil growth that returns within months. A dry-climate Carrier coil sheds moisture between cycles. A Miami coil doesn’t. We apply antimicrobial treatment as a standard part of coil cleaning here, not an upsell, because leaving it out means the mold comes back before the next rainy season ends.
- Shared air handler rooms in Brickell, Edgewater, and Sunny Isles condos. High-rise Carrier fan-coil systems live in mechanical rooms behind HOA-controlled doors. We coordinate with building management, work inside the access constraints those rooms impose, and document everything with photos so the condo board sees exactly what was cleaned and sealed.
Carrier Service in Miami: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here’s the fact that changes everything about Carrier duct cleaning in this city: the dominant housing type across Miami-Dade is post-WWII concrete block construction with slab-on-grade foundations, and most of those homes got central AC retrofitted long after the concrete was poured. In neighborhoods like Hialeah, West Little Havana, and unincorporated Miami-Dade, the original 1960s and 1970s Carrier duct boots are sealed directly into the slab or buried inside interior walls. That means full duct replacement is often physically impossible without tearing out walls or cutting through a structural slab. So the realistic maintenance path for a Carrier system in those homes is a cleaning cycle every two to three years, far tighter than the five-to-seven-year cycle you’ll see recommended for stick-frame houses upstate. The humidity keeps the mold coming, and the slab keeps the ducts from being swapped. Those two facts together mean Miami Carrier owners live with a recurring maintenance reality that no generic Carrier page and no national duct-cleaning franchise ever accounts for.
Our teams see this constantly. We were called to a 1961 CBS ranch in West Little Havana where the homeowner’s Carrier Performance air handler had been running nonstop and the house still felt clammy. When we pulled the return grille, the flex liner was sagging with condensation and the coil face was covered in black microbial growth. The original duct boot was set into the slab, so replacement wasn’t an option. We did a full supply-and-return cleaning, applied antimicrobial coil treatment, mastic-sealed the boot-to-flex transition, and repaired two collapsed flex runs. The static pressure dropped and the house finally held temperature through the afternoon. That’s the kind of job a duct-cleaning crew with no Carrier experience and no Miami slab-house experience simply can’t do correctly.
Carrier Models & Products We Service in Miami
We work on the Carrier equipment Miami homes actually have. That includes the Comfort series split systems, Infinity series high-efficiency condensers and fan coils, and Performance series air conditioners, plus the 40MB and 40MA-style ducted fan coils you find in CBS retrofits and condo air handler rooms throughout Miami service area. Our parts approach is honest: when a Carrier cabinet and coil are still sound, we use OEM-equivalent flex duct, mastic, and coil-cleaning chemistry. When a 20-year-old air handler in a Miami attic has rusted through or the coil is leaking refrigerant, we’ll tell you plainly that cleaning won’t pay back. If the fins are intact and the cabinet is solid, cleaning and sealing is the right call. If it’s corroded past saving, we recommend replacement instead of letting you sink money into a failing unit. That’s the conversation Paul has with homeowners every week.
Carrier Service Pricing in Miami
Here’s what Carrier air duct cleaning actually costs in Miami, in whole-system terms rather than per-vent games:
- Single-family CBS home, full supply-and-return cleaning: $450-$700, depending on the number of runs and the degree of microbial growth present.
- Cleaning plus antimicrobial coil treatment and mastic sealing: $700-$1,100 when mold is present and transitions need sealing, which in Miami is most of the time.
- Condo fan-coil unit (Brickell, Edgewater, Sunny Isles): $350-$600 per air handler, with HOA access coordination included.
- Crawlspace or attic flex duct repair (collapsed liner replacement): Quoted after we inspect the run and measure what’s actually failed.
Every estimate is written before any work starts, and it covers the whole system, not a teaser number that grows once the van is parked outside. Call (323) 918-4345 for a free estimate on your Carrier system. We’ll tell you what we found and what it costs to fix, and you decide from there.

FAQs - Carrier Air Duct Cleaning in Miami
It’s almost always a Miami problem. Condo air handler rooms in Brickell and Edgewater sit in humid, poorly ventilated mechanical spaces, and the coil stays wet between cooling cycles for months at a time. That persistent moisture is what feeds the mold, not a Carrier design flaw. We see it on Infinity and Performance fan coils in high-rises all along the bay. Cleaning the coil and applying antimicrobial treatment stops the growth, but without addressing the humidity in the handler room, it will return. Call (323) 918-4345 and we’ll inspect the unit and the room it lives in.
In most Hialeah and West Little Havana CBS homes, the boots are poured into the slab and can’t be replaced without cutting concrete. What we can do is clean the full duct path (our Miami Dryer Vent Cleaning crews use the same thorough approach), seal every boot-to-flex transition with mastic, patch the gaps where attic air gets pulled in, and repair collapsed flex runs. That restores airflow and removes the microbial growth without tearing your house apart. If a section of duct is genuinely beyond saving and accessible in the attic, we’ll quote the replacement honestly.
Every two to three years. In dry-climate markets, five to seven years is normal. But Miami’s 10 to 11 months of AC operation plus wet-season humidity above 80% means condensation, mold, and flex-liner degradation happen on a compressed timeline. Homes with slab-embedded boots in neighborhoods like Hialeah and West Little Havana never get a fresh duct installation, so the cleaning cycle is the maintenance plan. If you wait five years here, you’re not cleaning ducts; you’re remediating a mold colony. Call (323) 918-4345 to get on a sensible schedule.
We use OEM-equivalent Carrier flex duct, mastic, and coil-cleaning chemistry whenever the existing cabinet and coil are still serviceable. That means the dimensions, thermal rating, and material spec match what Carrier installed originally. We’re independent, not a Carrier authorized dealer, so we’re free to source the best available equivalent rather than whatever a warranty program dictates. If a Carrier part is obsolete or a replacement has been superseded, we’ll explain exactly what we’re using and why before any work starts.
Yes, and we do it regularly. Condo buildings in Brickell, Edgewater, and Sunny Isles require vendor COI documentation, access scheduling with building management, and sometimes board pre-approval. Our office handles the paperwork and coordinates access directly with the HOA or property manager. We document the work with photos inside the mechanical room so the board has a record of what was cleaned and sealed. Call (323) 918-4345 and we’ll start the approval process on our end.
