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 Andover, MA
Air duct cleaning in Andover, MA typically runs between $450 and $1,100 for a whole-home system, depending on square footage and how long it’s been since the last cleaning. Most standard single-family Andover homes land in the $600 to $850 range. If you’re noticing dust settling back onto furniture within days of wiping it down, or if certain rooms never seem to reach the thermostat setting, your ducts are likely the culprit. Call (737) 727-2314 and we’ll give you a written price before a single vent is touched.
Why Andover Homes Are Different
Andover’s housing stock runs older than most Merrimack Valley towns, and that changes the duct cleaning job in real ways. A center-entrance colonial from the 1960s off Dascomb Road, a raised ranch near West Parish, a newer build off River Road – each one has a different duct layout, and older homes often have original sheet-metal runs that have never been properly cleaned. Add in New England’s four-season cycle, and Andover systems tend to collect more than typical dust: pollen from late-spring tree blooms, fine grit from winter road salt that gets tracked in and drawn through returns, and the usual pet dander and skin cell load any busy household generates.
Omar Haddad, who leads our Andover work, notes that the bigger issue in town is often the combination of oil or gas heat with central air retrofitted decades after the house was built. Those retrofits frequently mean return ducts are undersized, which pulls harder on the system and deposits more debris on coil surfaces. It’s not unusual for us to find return-side buildup that predates the current owners. The good news: none of this is exotic. It just takes a cleaning approach that accounts for older ductwork rather than treating every home like a 2015 build.
Our Main Andover Services
Most Andover homeowners call us for two things: dryer vent cleaning to solve slow-drying cycles, and full air duct or HVAC cleaning after noticing dust, odors, or uneven heating. Each service has its own Andover page with pricing and detail – pick the one that matches what you’re seeing.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Andover
Dryer vents in Andover fill fast with lint, and the longer the vent run from the laundry room to the outside, the worse it gets. A first-floor laundry off a finished basement in an expanded colonial can have a 15 to 20 foot run with elbows, and that’s where lint packs in and airflow drops. If a full load needs two cycles to dry, the vent is partly obstructed. We run a Rotobrush-powered rotary system through the full run, then verify airflow at the exterior termination. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Andover has full detail.
Air Duct Cleaning in Andover
This is the whole-system job: supply and return ducts, boots, registers, and the main trunk lines. In Andover homes with forced hot air, the same ducts carry both heating and cooling, which means the dust load cycles year round. We use a Nikro HEPA vacuum in negative-pressure extraction, which means the loosened debris goes straight into the vacuum, not back into your living room. Air Duct Cleaning in Andover covers pricing and what the job includes.
HVAC Cleaning in Andover
HVAC cleaning targets the equipment itself: the blower motor, evaporator coil, condensate pan, and the cabinet interior. This is where Andover homes with original ductwork see the most buildup, since years of fine particulates settle onto wet coil surfaces and harden into a film that cuts efficiency. The difference between air duct cleaning and HVAC cleaning is simple – ducts are the passages, HVAC is the machine that moves the air. HVAC Cleaning in Andover breaks it down.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning Company in Andover
Most Andover jobs are scheduled within two to four business days. We don’t promise same-day duct cleaning because it’s a scheduled, multi-hour job, not an emergency call. When you book, you get a live arrival window you can track from your phone.
For single-family homes, no. For condos or townhouse associations in Andover, the work is interior and doesn’t require HOA sign-off, though some associations ask for the contractor’s insurance certificate. We can send that over in minutes. Call (737) 727-2314 and we’ll handle it.
That’s common in Andover’s older homes, especially in basements and crawl spaces where mice get in. We remove it as part of the cleaning, not as an add-on. The written price you get before work starts includes pest debris removal if we find it during the walkthrough.
