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 Santa Rosa, CA
Air duct cleaning in Santa Rosa runs $380 – $720 for a standard single-family home, depending on system size and how long it’s been since the last cleaning. Most Santa Rosa homes we see were built between the 1960s and early 2000s, and that age mix means older sheet-metal ductwork and newer flex duct often coexist under one roof. The dry summer heat and fall wildfire smoke push a lot of fine particulate into return-air systems, which is why we recommend Santa Rosa homeowners check their ducts more closely than folks in foggy coastal towns. Call (737) 727-2314 for a free estimate and a written price before anything is touched.
Why Santa Rosa Homes Are Different
Santa Rosa’s climate does two things to a duct system. First, the long dry season, usually May through October, leaves a fine layer of dust on every horizontal surface, including the inside of return-air plenums. Second, when wildfire smoke settles over Sonoma County, it pulls straight through the HVAC filter and into the ductwork, especially in homes that run their fans during red-flag days. We regularly find smoke residue layered on duct walls in Rincon Valley and Bennett Valley homes even when the filter was changed on schedule.
The housing stock matters too. Older neighborhoods like the Junior College area and McDonald District have a lot of 1950s and 60s ranches with rigid metal ducts that hold up well but collect decades of debris in the returns. Newer subdivisions in northwest Santa Rosa, around Coffey Park and Fountaingrove, were built with flex duct, which sags if it was not strapped properly and traps debris in the low points. Homes that were rebuilt after the 2017 Tubbs Fire often have brand-new systems, but construction dust and drywall fines get pulled through those ducts before anyone moves in, and that dust hardens in the first season of use.
Our Main Santa Rosa Services
Most calls we take in Santa Rosa start as one of two problems: a dryer that takes two cycles to finish a load, or an HVAC system that kicks dust into the house every time the heat or AC fires up. Each service has its own dedicated Santa Rosa page with pricing and process details.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Santa Rosa
Santa Rosa homes with interior laundry rooms and long vertical vent runs, common in two-story and hillside builds, clog faster than short sidewall vents. Lint compacts with the fine dust that blows in from the surrounding hills, and the result is a dryer that runs long, runs hot, and still leaves towels damp. We run a rotary brush through the full vent run and pull the debris out with negative-pressure extraction rather than shooting it onto your roof or side yard. For full details on the Santa Rosa process and flat-rate pricing, see Dryer Vent Cleaning in Santa Rosa.
Air Duct Cleaning in Santa Rosa
Duct cleaning here is not a one-size job. A 1970s ranch in the Montgomery Village area with hard metal ducts cleans differently than a 2010s two-story in Fountaingrove with flex runs and multiple zones. We loosen debris with rotary brushes, then pull it out under negative pressure, which means the dust goes into the vacuum, not back into your living room. Before-and-after photos of your own ducts are part of every job. Get the full breakdown and price range on Air Duct Cleaning in Santa Rosa.
HVAC Cleaning in Santa Rosa
An HVAC cleaning goes past the ducts to the blower, coil, and housing where airflow actually starts. In Santa Rosa, air conditioning runs hard from July through September, and the coil picks up a sticky film of dust and smoke residue that cuts airflow and efficiency. Cleaning the full air path, not just the duct walls, is what separates a real HVAC cleaning from a vent wipe-down. The blower, coil, and plenum are all covered. See HVAC Cleaning in Santa Rosa for exact scope and current pricing.
