Whole-system duct and dryer vent check with before-and-after photos - you see exactly what came out of your vents
That "$99 whole-house special" is a bait ad - the real number appears once they are in your hallway, or the "clean" is a shop-vac at the register. We photograph the inside of your ducts before and after instead.

AfterAir Duct Cleaning Company in Placerville, CA
Air duct cleaning in Placerville means contending with mountain air, four real seasons, and homes that range from 1850s Gold Rush cottages to newer builds above the fog line. We handle the whole job from one truck: full duct cleaning, HVAC cleaning, and dryer vent cleaning, each with its own Placerville page linked just below. Most standard single-system cleanings in Placerville run $285 to $490, depending on home size and how long it’s been since the last cleaning. Call (737) 727-2314 and a live person answers, day or night.
Why Placerville Homes Are Different
Placerville sits at roughly 1,900 feet, which puts it right in the transition zone between valley heat and true mountain cold. Homes here pull double duty: air conditioning from June through September, then heat from November into March, sometimes swinging between both in the same week. That constant cycling moves air across the same ductwork year round, which means pollen, dust, and the fine grit that blows off the Eldorado National Forest edge accumulate faster than in a flatland home. Older Placerville housing stock adds another layer. Victorian-era homes around the historic core often have duct runs that were retrofitted decades ago, and we regularly find sagging, poorly sealed, or undersized returns in those systems. Newer subdivisions around Greenstone and the areas off Broadway were built tighter, which is good for efficiency but means anything that gets into the ducts stays in the ducts. We also see a lot of wood stove and pellet stove residue in Placerville systems, because winter heating here often includes a secondary heat source. That fine ash is exactly what a HEPA-filtered extraction system is designed to pull out, not stir around.
Our Main Placerville Services
Placerville homeowners call us most about three jobs, and each one has its own detailed page. Here’s the quick version of what each involves locally.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Placerville
Lint buildup inside dryer vents is a fire hazard first and an efficiency problem second. In Placerville, where many laundry rooms sit in older homes with long, winding vent runs, that buildup happens faster than in newer builds with short direct runs. We run a rotating brush through the full vent path, then vacuum from both ends and verify airflow before we leave. If your dryer takes two cycles to dry a normal load, that’s the tell. Full details, including pricing for Placerville homes, are on the Dryer Vent Cleaning in Placerville page.
Air Duct Cleaning in Placerville
We clean the full duct system, supply and return, from the registers back to the air handler. That includes brushing the interior walls and then extracting everything with a Nikro HEPA vacuum under negative pressure, which means debris goes straight into the trap, not back into your living room. Placerville’s mix of old and new construction means every job starts with a visual inspection to map the system and spot problem areas before pricing. See the Air Duct Cleaning in Placerville page for full pricing and scope.
HVAC Cleaning in Placerville
The HVAC cleaning service covers the air handler itself: the blower wheel, motor housing, evaporator coil, and condensate pan. In Placerville, where systems run hard through summer and winter, the coil picks up a film of dust and pollen that reduces heat exchange and strains the blower. We clean those components with a combination of compressed air, coil cleaning chemistry, and HEPA extraction, and we document the work with before-and-after photos. The full scope and Placerville pricing are on the HVAC Cleaning in Placerville page.

Placerville pricing shifts upward when a system has never been cleaned, when returns are undersized or damaged, or when a roof vent requires ladder work. What doesn’t shift is the number on your quote. You get a written price before a single register comes off, and that number is what you pay. If a technician finds something unexpected, the new price is agreed before the extra work starts, never after.
