palm beach county need help with cleaning a/c

#1 Postby SouthFloridawx » Fri May 05, 2006 9:31 am

Does anyone in palm beach county know who to call for A/C cleaning. I just moved into this condo today but, we have been cleaning for the last couple of days. I have been getting sick from breathing the air and I looked up inside the a/c unit inside the house and it is has a bunch of dirt and crap up in there. I need to get a professional service to come in there and clean/service/spray the ducts and stuff like that. If you know of anyone please let me know a.s.a.p.

Any A/C contractor can do a duct cleaning for you.

I have been on the phone trying to get quotes on the phone today. Pretty expensive, like 400-600 so far on my quotes to clean the blower, coil and other things.

I've never had it done, but I've been quoted ~$400 to have it done in my home. I'd say that's about what you're going to find. They have to dismantle your A/C coil, which is wher emost of the labor time is.

Ionic breeze are a ripoff. they don't actually remove much from the air. If your ducts are full of mold spores, then you really ought to have them cleaned.

I agree.. I chuckle at alot of the Sharper Image products..lol It may work I dunno honestly.. Never had one myself.

Definately get the ducks cleaned. Make sure they check to if there is a reason for so much mold etc.. Otherwise it could be back soon. :eek:

I found a guy to do everything including the duct cleaning, acid wash the coil and a bunch of other stuff for 450.00. Now i have to wait for my landlord to call me back.
