Residential Air Duct Cleaning
The air ducts in your Fort Myers home circulate the same air repeatedly through your HVAC system. Over time, dust, pollen, pet dander, mold spores, and other airborne particles accumulate inside the ductwork. This buildup reduces indoor air quality and can aggravate asthma, allergies, and respiratory conditions — particularly in Florida's humid climate where moisture encourages mold growth.
Arborwood Duct Cleaning uses a negative-pressure extraction method to clean supply ducts, return ducts, registers, grilles, and air handlers. We seal the system and use high-powered vacuums and agitation tools to dislodge and remove accumulated debris without pushing it back into your living space.
What's Included
- Cleaning of all supply and return duct runs
- Register and grille cleaning
- Air handler and blower compartment inspection
- Before-and-after documentation
- HEPA-filtered vacuum extraction
The EPA recommends cleaning air ducts when there is visible mold growth, vermin infestation, or significant dust/debris deposits. Even without those signs, routine cleaning every 3–5 years is a good practice for most homes.

Commercial buildings in Southwest Florida face the same duct contamination issues as residential properties — often more severely due to higher occupancy and more complex HVAC systems. Dirty commercial ductwork reduces airflow efficiency, raises energy costs, and can affect the health and productivity of employees and customers.
Arborwood Duct Cleaning services small commercial properties including offices, retail spaces, rental units, and mixed-use buildings. We coordinate with property managers and business owners to minimize disruption and complete the job efficiently.
What's Included
- Full supply and return duct system cleaning
- Air handling unit cleaning and inspection
- Coil surface cleaning (where accessible)
- Flexible scheduling around business hours
- Service documentation for your records
Dryer Vent Cleaning
Dryer vent cleaning is one of the most overlooked home maintenance tasks — and one of the most important for fire safety. The U.S. Fire Administration estimates that clothes dryers cause around 2,900 home fires per year, with failure to clean the vent as the leading contributing factor. Lint accumulation restricts airflow, causes the dryer to overheat, and creates a serious fire risk.
Arborwood removes lint, debris, and blockages from the full length of your dryer vent line — from the back of the dryer through to the exterior exhaust cap. We also check for crushed or kinked ductwork that can restrict airflow even after cleaning.
Signs Your Dryer Vent Needs Cleaning
- Clothes take more than one cycle to dry
- Dryer feels hot to the touch after a cycle
- Burning smell during operation
- Exterior exhaust flap not opening properly
- It's been more than a year since the last cleaning
Sanitization & Deodorization
After a thorough duct cleaning, some customers choose to have their ductwork sanitized and deodorized — especially in homes with pets, mold history, smoke odors, or high humidity. This optional treatment applies an EPA-registered antimicrobial solution to the interior surfaces of your duct system.
The treatment is designed to inhibit the growth of mold, mildew, and bacteria inside the ducts and help neutralize persistent odors. It's particularly useful in Florida's warm, humid climate where microbial growth inside ductwork is more common than in drier regions.
Benefits
- Inhibits mold and mildew regrowth
- Neutralizes pet, smoke, and musty odors
- Safe for occupants and pets when dry
- Applied after cleaning for maximum effectiveness
Post-Construction Duct Cleaning
Construction and renovation projects — even minor remodels — generate significant amounts of drywall dust, insulation fibers, sawdust, and debris that find their way into the ductwork. Running your HVAC system after construction without cleaning the ducts distributes that fine particulate matter throughout the entire home or building.
Arborwood's post-construction duct cleaning service is designed for new construction homes, recently renovated properties, and rental units being turned over after a major remodel. We clear out all construction debris before it circulates into your living or working space.
When to Schedule
- After new home construction before move-in
- Following major interior renovations
- After drywall, insulation, or flooring work
- Before occupying a property after contractor work
