HVAC Coil & Blower Cleaning in Palm Bay, FL

Your evaporator coil and blower wheel are the heart of your HVAC system — and the dirtiest. A 1/8" layer of dust on the coil can cut efficiency by 20% and force the system to run 30% longer to hit the thermostat. We clean both, restore proper airflow, and most homes see a measurable drop in AC runtime within a week.

Bastion Duct Solutions provides air duct and dryer vent cleaning across Palm Bay and the broader Space Coast — Bayside Lakes, Port Malabar, Melbourne, West Melbourne, Malabar, and surrounding Brevard County neighborhoods. Palm Bay has Florida's largest concentration of 1970s and 1980s GD Corp tract homes — most still running original metal trunk lines with flex-duct add-ons that sag, tear, and trap dust at the low points. Add salt air off the Indian River, sandy-soil tracking from Sebastian Inlet beach trips, and KSC launch particulate from up the coast, and you get duct interiors that need cleaning on a 2–3 year cycle instead of the national 3–5 year average. Every Palm Bay job uses truck-mounted negative-air HEPA vacuums and before/after photos of every register.

4. Clean Blower Wheel: Remove the blower wheel, wash, and reinstall — this is where the dirtiest buildup lives.
5. Reassemble & Test: Reseal the access panel, restore power, and verify proper airflow and temperature drop.

HVAC Coil & Blower Cleaning FAQs — Palm Bay

Is this the same as an HVAC tune-up?

No — a tune-up is a check by an HVAC technician. We clean. We're the right call when your system is running but inefficient; call an HVAC tech for refrigerant, electrical, or mechanical repairs.

Will this fix a frozen AC line?

Sometimes — a dirty coil is one of the top causes of frozen evaporator lines. If freezing persists after cleaning, you likely have a refrigerant or airflow problem that needs an HVAC tech.

Should I do this with my duct cleaning?

Yes — bundling saves a service-call charge and the coil/blower are inside the same system we're cleaning anyway.

How long does it take?

1–2 hours for most residential systems. Larger multi-zone systems take longer.
