What that means for the ducts

Seventies duct and twenty-first-century duct, side by side.

Boynton Beach's homes pull in two directions. 41.4% of its 40,694 homes were built before 1980, old enough that the original flex duct has probably never been swapped out; 23.6% went up in 2000 or later, where a first cleaning is mostly about what the builder left: construction dust and insulation fibre that got into the runs before move-in day.

40.8% of the city's homes are detached single-family houses, each with a whole-house system, and 21.7% are in buildings of 20 or more units (9.3% in 20-to-49-unit buildings, 12.3% in 50-plus). With 63.8% owner-occupied (so about a third rented), scheduling with associations, managers and landlords is a real part of the job here, next to visits booked by homeowners.

Those two sides bring two kinds of booking, but the visit itself doesn't change: the system is opened and photographed before anything is touched, brushed and vacuumed under negative pressure, and handed back with before-and-after photos and a plain-English recommendation, whether the call came from the owner of a 1970s house or the manager of a newer building.

Send us your question
Some of the city is fifty years old and some is brand new. Is the visit different?
The method is the same; what we find isn't. In a pre-1980 house (41.4% of the city), it's usually original flex duct never replaced, with faults that come from age rather than dirt. In a home built since 2000 (23.6%), it's usually what the builder left in the runs: drywall dust and insulation fibre. The inspection tells us which before you're charged anything.
Four in ten homes here predate 1980. What turns up in houses that old?
Most often, original flex duct that's never been replaced, and the three problems that come with age, not dirt: a run flattened by something stored on it in the attic, a collar that has pulled loose, and dust packed so hard suction alone won't lift it. The inspection shows which of those you have before you're charged anything.
Do you do condo and HOA work in Boynton Beach?
Yes. 21.7% of the city's units are in buildings of 20 or more (9.3% in 20-to-49-unit buildings and 12.3% in 50-plus), so it's a real share of our work here, not a rarity. We arrange those visits with the association or manager, with the scope agreed ahead of the day.
How long will the visit take?
Two to four hours for a typical single-family house, depending on its vents and air handlers, and usually under an hour for a dryer vent alone. An adult over 18 should be home to let us in and go over the before-and-after photos at the end.
How often should Boynton Beach ducts be cleaned?
Every 3 to 5 years suits most Florida homes, sooner with pets, allergies or a renovation. In a city where 76.4% of homes predate 2000 and 41.4% predate 1980, the better question is often when the system was last opened at all. If nobody knows, that alone is a reason to look.
How is the price worked out?
It depends on the home's size, how many systems it has and the state of the duct, so we quote on site before any work begins. You'll have the price before we open anything.

A stale smell when the AC starts, a bedroom that won't cool, a dryer that needs two runs. Those three are the calls we get most.
