What that means for the ducts

Think building, not house.

In Highland Beach we plan around the building. Of the town's 4,641 homes, 67.4% are in buildings of fifty or more units (the highest share of our five towns), and only 10.4% are detached houses. Each apartment has its own air handler, usually in a closet, with its own short runs, so we clean your system, not the building's.

These towers face the ocean, so exposed metal duct parts and dryer-vent hardware tend to show salt-air corrosion sooner than in a building of the same age set back from the water. 69.9% of the town's homes date from the 1970s and 1980s, so the short runs behind the grilles have had decades to collect dust.

They're booked the way buildings are. A unit in a fifty-plus tower is scheduled through the association or building manager, with the scope agreed ahead of time instead of in the hallway, while the owner, who lives there 94.7% of the time, decides what gets cleaned.

94.7%

of occupied homes in Highland Beach are lived in by their owners, the highest rate of our five towns.

Send us your question
Do you clean ducts in Highland Beach condos?
Yes, that's most of our work here. 67.4% of the town's units are in buildings of 50 or more, the highest share of our five towns. Jobs in those buildings are set up through the association or building manager, not one unit at a time.
How does a high-rise unit differ from a house?
A detached house has its own whole-house system, so the visit covers every supply and return, the plenum and the air handler. In a tower we open the unit's own runs, and the scope is agreed with the association in advance. Only 10.4% of Highland Beach homes are detached single-family, so most calls here are tower jobs.
Does living on the coast make a difference?
For metal parts, yes. Coastal buildings are exposed to salty air, which speeds up corrosion of exposed metal HVAC and duct parts: collars, dryer-vent hoods, cabinet hardware. It's worth having them checked sooner here than in an inland building of the same age.
How often should Highland Beach ducts be cleaned?
Every 3 to 5 years suits most Florida homes, sooner with pets, allergies or a renovation. 40.4% of Highland Beach homes predate 1980, and for those the first step is usually an inspection, not a cleaning. We'd rather show you what we found than sell you something the duct doesn't need.
How long will the visit take?
Two to four hours for a typical single-family house, depending on its vents and air handlers. A dryer vent alone is usually under an hour, and a single apartment in a building takes less time than a whole house.
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.
