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 Grafton, OH
Air duct cleaning in Grafton typically runs $350 – $600 for a standard single-system home, and it’s a job where local conditions genuinely change the work. Grafton’s mix of 1970s – 1990s colonials, newer subdivisions, and older farmland homes means duct systems here carry different debris loads, and the damp spring soil plus agricultural dust from surrounding Lorain County fields pushes more fine particulate into return-air pathways than you’d see in a city. We’re Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning, part of the Relay Home Co. family, and every Grafton job starts with a written price before a single vent is touched. Call (737) 727-2314.
Why Grafton Homes Are Different
Grafton sits on the southern edge of Lorain County, where housing stock shifts block by block. A 1980s colonial near the village center has a different duct profile than a 2000s build off State Route 83 or a century farmhouse on Grafton-Eastern Road. Older homes here often have original sheet-metal trunks with interior insulation that sheds over time, while newer construction in developments like Maple Ridge tightened envelope sealing without always upsizing return pathways. That shows up as uneven room temperatures and heavier buildup at return grilles.
The other factor is the air itself. Grafton’s position between farmland to the south and lake-effect weather to the north means seasonal humidity swings, pollen from surrounding fields in May and June, and fine dry soil dust in late summer. All of it cycles through the blower when the air handler runs. We size extraction equipment and brush density to the home’s actual duct layout rather than a generic package, which is why our bids include a walkthrough of the mechanical room and a look at return-path sizing before we quote.
Our Main Grafton Services
Grafton homeowners call us most often for two things: dryer vent cleaning and full air duct cleaning. HVAC cleaning closes the gap when the system itself needs attention beyond the ductwork.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Grafton
Long dryer vent runs are common in Grafton, especially in ranches where the laundry sits mid-house and the vent terminates through the roof or runs 20-plus feet to an exterior wall. Lint accumulates faster in these runs, and a clogged vent pushes the dryer to work harder on every load. We clean the full run from dryer to termination point using rotary brushes and HEPA extraction, check airflow at the termination, and hand you a written price before starting. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Grafton covers the full scope, pricing, and what a typical Grafton job looks like.
Air Duct Cleaning in Grafton
Whole-home duct cleaning in Grafton means opening the supply and return sides, agitating debris with a Rotobrush rotary brush system, and extracting under negative pressure with a Nikro HEPA vacuum, so loosened material goes into the containment unit rather than back into the living space. Homes near active fields or with pets that shed heavily tend to need this more often. We photograph every section before and after as part of The Relay Standard. Air Duct Cleaning in Grafton breaks down the process, equipment, and what you should expect from a legitimate cleaning.
HVAC Cleaning in Grafton
HVAC cleaning goes beyond the ducts to the air handler itself: blower wheel, evaporator coil, condensate pan, and the cabinet interior. In Grafton, where air conditioning runs hard from June through September, a dusty coil or blower wheel cuts airflow and raises cooling bills before you ever see it. We clean these components in place using professional equipment and document the work with photos. HVAC Cleaning in Grafton explains what’s included, typical pricing for Grafton systems, and when duct cleaning alone isn’t enough.
