Aprilaire Air Duct Cleaning in Orlando: What to Know First
We provide independent Aprilaire air duct cleaning throughout Orlando, typically completing a full residential system in a single visit. Most Aprilaire homes in this area cost between $450 and $900 for a complete system cleaning, depending on square footage and how many Aprilaire media filters or electronic air cleaners are in the loop. If you own an Aprilaire system and your air feels stale or the vents have visible dust buildup, call (321) 204-8194 for a free estimate.

This page is for Orlando homeowners who own Aprilaire air cleaners, humidifiers, or filtration systems and want to know exactly what happens when a duct cleaning crew works around that equipment. We’re an independent Aprilaire service provider. We are not affiliated with or authorized by Aprilaire, but we work on their equipment every week and know how the ductwork connects to it.
Key Takeaways:
- We clean the ducts, not just the Aprilaire unit, so your Aprilaire equipment isn’t fighting dirty air downstream.
- Every job gets a written price before work starts, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise means we return if something isn’t right.
- A live person answers our phone 24/7, and every technician is background-checked and in uniform.
How Aprilaire Products Fail – and How We Fix Them
Over the years, we’ve learned that Aprilaire equipment in Orlando homes tends to fail in predictable ways. Here’s what we see most often and how we handle it.
- Aprilaire media filters (Series 210, 410, 810) loading up with fine Central Florida dust. Orlando’s sandy soil and long pollen season mean these pleated filters catch a lot more than they were sized for in other climates. When the filter loads unevenly, air bypasses it and carries dust into the supply ducts. We photograph the filter before and after, and if it’s at the end of its service life we note it so you can order a replacement at your next filter change.
- Aprilaire electronic air cleaners (Model 5000) with dirty collection cells downstream effects. When the cells stay dirty too long, the unit’s efficiency drops and dust that should have been collected ends up lining the return duct. We clean the cells as part of a full system job when you request it, using warm water and a degreaser that won’t damage the plates, then verify the power supply is still charging correctly.
- Aprilaire humidifiers (Models 600, 700) that were installed on the supply plenum without a duct cleaning plan. Hard water from Orlando’s municipal supply leaves mineral scale on the water panel. That scale traps dust from the air moving past it, and over time you get a crusty buildup right at the plenum where it connects to the ducts. We remove and inspect the humidifier bypass damper before cleaning the ductwork so the system isn’t fighting an obstruction.
- Clogged duct runs on Aprilaire-equipped systems with undersized returns. We see this often in Orlando homes built in the 1980s and 1990s and in older neighborhoods like College Park where return ducts were sized for smaller systems. When a larger Aprilaire system was added later, the return side works harder, which pulls in more dust and debris. We measure static pressure before and after cleaning and tell you if your return side is undersized, so you know whether the issue is cleanliness or design.
- Loose duct connections at the Aprilaire cabinet. Vibration from the blower and expansion from Orlando’s heat and humidity can work connections loose over years of operation. Dust collects around the leak point, and the system pulls attic air into your conditioned supply. During every cleaning we check the cabinet-to-duct transitions at both the return and supply sides and reseal them when needed with mastic, not tape, so the seal survives the next several Orlando summers.

Our Aprilaire Air Duct Cleaning Process
Here’s exactly what happens when you call us for Aprilaire air duct cleaning in Orlando.
- 1
You call, a person answers. A real human takes your call 24/7. We ask about your home’s square footage, how many systems you have, and what Aprilaire equipment is installed. You get a written price range before anyone schedules the visit.
- 2
We arrive and protect your home. Shoe covers go on at the door, drop cloths go down in the work areas and hallways, and we check with you about kids and pets so we can work around nap schedules and keep tool noise down where it matters.
- 3
We inspect the Aprilaire cabinet and duct connections. Before any cleaning starts, we remove the filter access and inspect the Aprilaire unit, check for loose transitions, and note anything that affects the cleaning plan. You get a photo of what we find.
- 4
We clean the full duct system with professional equipment. Our crew uses Rotobrush and Nikro negative-air equipment, not rental gear, to clean the supply side, return side, and all branch runs. Aprilaire systems are our specialty, so we work around the filter cabinet and electronic air cleaner cells without damaging them.
- 5
We reseal and test. Loose connections get mastic, static pressure is measured, and we run the system to confirm airflow sounds right and no debris is left behind. Before we leave, we photograph the cleanup so there’s no question about how your home was treated.
- 6
You get the written price honored, plus the 365-Day Done Right Promise. If anything isn’t right within the first year, we return and make it right. No invoice surprises, no upselling.

AfterWhat Aprilaire Air Duct Cleaning Costs in Orlando
For a typical Orlando single-family home with one Aprilaire system and up to 15 vents, expect to pay between $450 and $650. Larger homes with two systems or more than 20 vents usually run $700 to $900. If the Aprilaire Model 5000 electronic cells need cleaning, we typically add $75 to $125 depending on how dirty they are.
What moves the price: number of systems, number of supply and return vents, accessibility of the Aprilaire cabinet and duct runs, and whether the ducts are lined with insulation that needs gentler cleaning. We do not charge per vent. We give you one flat price per system, in writing, before we start. Call (321) 204-8194 and a live person will give you a free estimate for your specific house.
Why Orlando Homeowners Call Mortons Air Duct Orlando for Aprilaire Work
We’re the kind of company Paul Adeyemi built from one idea: tell the customer what we found, what we will do, and what it costs, before we start. That means no surprises, no pressure tactics, and no crew rushing through your attic at 4 p.m. to get to the next job. We take our time, and clients often mention that we noticed something a previous company missed.
Every visit is backed by the 365-Day Done Right Promise and the Cedarwell Care Promise, which includes shoe covers and drop cloths on every job, a written price before any work starts, and a photo of the clean-up before we leave. If your home also has Lennox, Trane, or Carrier equipment alongside the Aprilaire unit, our technicians handle those too. Families with kids and pets trust us because we work quietly, use pet-safe products where available, and leave the house looking better than we found it.
FAQs
No. We clean the ductwork connected to your Aprilaire system, not the internal components of the Aprilaire unit itself, so the manufacturer warranty is unaffected. We work around the filter cabinet, humidifier bypass, and electronic air cleaner cells without opening sealed Aprilaire components.
Most Orlando homes benefit from a full duct cleaning every 3 to 5 years, but homes with pets, kids, or a lot of outdoor dust coming in from sandy soil may want it every 2 to 3 years. If you change your Aprilaire media filter more than twice a year and it’s still loaded with fine dust, that’s a sign your ducts are contributing.
Yes, we clean the Model 5000 collection cells as part of a full system job when you ask us to, using a warm water and degreaser process that won’t warp the aluminum plates. We also check the power supply and tell you if the cells are beyond cleaning and need replacement.
Cheaper quotes in this area usually mean a bait-and-switch price that only covers the main trunk line, with per-vent upcharges once the crew is inside. We don’t price per vent, and we don’t do teaser coupons. You get one flat price per system in writing before work starts, and that’s the price on the invoice.
You get before-and-after photos of your own ducts, plus a photo of the clean-up area before the crew leaves. We also measure static pressure before and after so you can see the airflow improvement in numbers. If you’re not satisfied within the first year, the 365-Day Done Right Promise means we return at no charge. Call (321) 204-8194 for a straight answer on your specific system.
