What this site is
Orlando Air Duct Pros is a free quote service for homeowners in Orlando and nearby Central Florida towns, from Kissimmee and St. Cloud to Sanford, Winter Park and Clermont. You fill out a short form about your home and what you have noticed, such as dusty registers, a musty smell when the AC kicks on, or a dryer that takes two cycles. We pass that request to independent local air duct and HVAC companies that handle that kind of work in your area. A company then contacts you, looks at your system and gives you its own quote.
Requests cover air duct cleaning, dryer vent cleaning, AC coil and air handler cleaning, mold in AC vents and ducts, duct repair and sealing and AC condensate drain lines. Using the service costs you nothing, and you never have to hire anyone.
Orlando Air Duct Pros is a referral service, not a contractor, and is not licensed by the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation.
What this site is not
- We are not a contractor. We don't clean, inspect, repair, seal or service anything, and no one from this site will come to your home.
- We don't set the price, write the contract or direct the work. The company you choose does that, and your agreement is with that company.
- We don't rate, rank or endorse companies, and we make no claims about any company's license, insurance or certifications. Please check those yourself before you hire, using the steps below.
- We don't give medical or legal advice. If you have health concerns, talk to your doctor.
We also try to keep the guides on this site honest. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) says duct cleaning "has never been shown to actually prevent health problems" and that it does not recommend cleaning ducts "except on an as-needed basis." EPA also says it "neither establishes duct cleaning standards nor certifies, endorses, or approves duct cleaning companies," so a company claiming to be EPA-certified is not telling you the truth. Our guide on whether duct cleaning is worth it in Florida walks through EPA's checklist.
Florida licensing: what the statutes say
Based on our reading of Chapter 489 of the 2026 Florida Statutes and Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR) materials:
- Florida has no separate duct-cleaning license. Instead, the definitions of Class A and Class B air-conditioning contractor (s. 489.105(3)(f) and (g)), as well as mechanical and sheet metal contractor, include "any duct cleaning and equipment sanitizing that requires at least a partial disassembling of the system."
- A DBPR handout lists "Clean central air and heat ducts for compensation (requires partial disassembly of the system, such as removal of air grills)" as work that needs a license, and "cleaning ducts that do not require removal of the air grills" as work that does not.
- In Florida, duct cleaning that involves removing grilles and AC coil work is licensed air-conditioning contractor work. Duct repair and replacement fall within the same contractor scope to "install, maintain, repair" duct work.
- Dryer vent cleaning is different. In a declaratory statement filed in January 2015 (DS 2014-125), the Construction Industry Licensing Board said that because the petitioner's method involved no disassembly of the dryer exhaust system, "a mechanical contractor's license is not necessary." That ruling applied to that petitioner's method; rerouting or replacing a vent is a different job.
- Florida's mold law (s. 468.8411) covers mold remediation of more than 10 square feet. A licensed AC contractor working within the scope of its license is exempt from the separate mold license (s. 468.841), as long as it does not hold itself out as a mold remediator.
- s. 489.127(1) says a business tax receipt "is not a license for purposes of this part." A county business tax receipt is not an AC contractor's license.
So ask for the company's CAC/CMC license number and check it at MyFloridaLicense.com before any work starts.

How to check a license on MyFloridaLicense.com
It's free and takes a couple of minutes.
Get the license number and exact company name
Ask for both before work begins. Florida law (s. 489.119(5)(b)) requires a contractor's certification or registration number to appear in its advertising, so it is often on the company's website, truck or estimate.
Search the DBPR records
Go to MyFloridaLicense.com, choose "Verify a License", then search by license number or business name.
Confirm the status is current and active
A license that is expired, inactive or delinquent is a reason to stop and ask questions.
Check the license type fits the job
For duct cleaning that removes grilles, coil or air handler work and duct repair, look for a Certified (or Registered) Air Conditioning Contractor (Class A or B), Mechanical or Sheet Metal license. Certified numbers start with "C", such as CAC for a certified air-conditioning contractor or CMC for a certified mechanical contractor.
Match the name and the area
Make sure the name on the license matches the company on your estimate. If the license is registered (it starts with "R"), confirm it covers your county, such as Orange, Seminole, Osceola or Lake, because DBPR says registered contractors "may contract only in such jurisdictions."
For mold, check the mold license too
If a company calls itself a mold remediator, DBPR licenses individuals for that work, so look up the person's Mold Remediator license as well.
