Air ducts, dryer vents and restaurant hood exhaust — Costa Mechanical clears it all across Lee, Collier and Charlotte counties for cleaner air, lower bills and real fire safety.
Everything your home or business breathes passes through ductwork and vents — and in Southwest Florida's dust and humidity, those passages fill up faster than you'd think. Costa Mechanical & Refrigeration cleans residential air ducts, dryer vents and commercial kitchen hood exhaust across Lee, Collier and Charlotte counties, so your air is cleaner, your equipment runs cooler, and the fire hazards hiding in your vents are cleared out.
We're a family-owned, veteran-operated company, and we treat duct and vent cleaning as real maintenance, not a gimmick. We show up, do thorough work, and tell you honestly whether you're due — never pressure you into a job you don't need.
Three different systems, three different reasons to keep them clear:
Clean ducts mean cleaner air. Over the years, dust, pollen, pet dander and even mold collect inside your supply and return runs, then get blown back into every room each time the system kicks on. Clearing that buildup eases allergy and asthma symptoms and cuts the dust you're constantly wiping up. It also helps efficiency — when air moves freely, your system doesn't have to fight clogged passages, so it runs cooler and uses less energy.
Dryer vents are a safety issue, not just a convenience one. Lint is extremely flammable, and a packed vent run is among the most common causes of home fires. Beyond the danger, a clogged vent makes your dryer overheat and take two or three cycles to finish a load. For restaurants, grease-laden hood and exhaust systems are a documented fire hazard and a fire-code compliance requirement — a job we handle as part of keeping your kitchen safe and inspection-ready.
Call us if you see dust puffing from the registers, surfaces that get dusty again right after you clean, musty smells when the air runs, or worsening allergies indoors. For homes, every three to five years is a reasonable interval — sooner after a renovation, a pest or mold problem, or if you have pets and allergy sufferers. Dryer vents should be cleared roughly once a year, and commercial kitchen hoods on the schedule your volume and fire code require.
Cleaner ductwork works hand-in-hand with the rest of your system. Pair it with our indoor air quality upgrades for the biggest improvement, and if you run a kitchen, keep it covered alongside your commercial refrigeration service.
For most Southwest Florida homes, every three to five years is a good rhythm, but you may need it sooner after a renovation, a mold issue, a pest problem, or if anyone in the home has allergies or asthma. New homes that kicked up construction dust and homes with shedding pets also benefit from a cleaning on the earlier end of that range.
Watch for visible dust puffing from the vents, dusty surfaces that come right back after cleaning, musty or stale odors when the system runs, uneven airflow between rooms, or worsening allergy symptoms indoors. Evidence of mold, rodents or insects in the ductwork is a clear sign it's time.
Yes — lint is highly flammable, and a vent packed with it is one of the leading causes of home dryer fires. A clogged vent also makes your dryer run hot and take multiple cycles to dry a load, wasting energy and shortening the appliance's life. Cleaning the full vent run, not just the lint trap, removes the hazard and restores airflow.
We do. Restaurant hood and exhaust systems collect grease that becomes a serious fire hazard and a fire-code compliance issue. We clean the hood, filters and exhaust ductwork so your kitchen stays safe, passes inspection, and vents heat and smoke the way it should.
