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 Salt Lake City, UT
Air duct cleaning in Salt Lake City typically costs between $450 and $900 for a full system on a standard single-family home, with most jobs completed in a single visit. We’re Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning, part of the Relay Home Co. family, and we built our name on one thing Salt Lake City homeowners rarely see in this trade: a written price before any work starts. Call us at (737) 727-2314 and you’ll get a straight answer, not a bait-and-switch.
Why Salt Lake City Homes Are Different
Salt Lake City sits in a valley that traps dust, pollen, and inversion-season particulates for weeks at a time. Homes from Sugar House to the Avenues carry a heavier sediment load than houses in most other Utah cities, and that shows up in return registers and blower compartments fast. Many Salt Lake City houses were built between the 1920s and 1980s, which means original galvanized duct runs, aging flex connections, and filter slots that were never sized for modern MERV-rated media. In winter, furnaces here cycle hard for five straight months, and in summer, swamp coolers that share return pathways with central air push mineral-heavy moisture into the system. None of that is a generic “dusty ducts” situation. It’s a Salt Lake City-specific combination of valley air, older housing stock, and long heating seasons, and it changes how we approach every cleaning we do in this city.
Our Main Salt Lake City Services
Salt Lake City homeowners call us most often for two things: dryer vent work and full air duct cleanings. The third service, HVAC cleaning, covers the equipment side of the same system. Here’s what each one looks like in this city.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Salt Lake City
Dryer vents in Salt Lake City run longer than average because so many laundry rooms sit in basements with exterior terminations at ground level or on the roof. That extra distance collects lint faster, especially in older bungalows near Liberty Park and 9th and 9th. Our technicians use Rotobrush rotary brush systems and Nikro HEPA vacuums to clear the full run, not just the first few feet behind the dryer. If your vent has a bird guard, a long horizontal stretch, or a roof termination, we’ll tell you exactly how we’re handling it before we touch anything. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Salt Lake City covers the full service, including what a backed-up vent costs you in dry time and utility spend.
Air Duct Cleaning in Salt Lake City
Full air duct cleaning in Salt Lake City means accessing every supply and return run, loosening caked-on dust with a rotary brush, and extracting it under negative pressure so nothing re-enters your living space. That last part matters here because so many Salt Lake City homes have registers in finished basements where recirculated dust lands on furniture and flooring. We run Nikro HEPA-filtered vacuums and Abatement Technologies containment units on jobs where duct interiors are heavily loaded. Air Duct Cleaning in Salt Lake City has the full pricing breakdown and what you should expect from a proper cleaning versus a vent-only wipe-down.
HVAC Cleaning in Salt Lake City
HVAC cleaning in Salt Lake City focuses on the equipment itself: blower wheels, evaporator coils, drain pans, and the cabinet interior of your furnace or air handler. Salt Lake City’s hard water and mineral-heavy air mean coils here build scale faster than in softer-water markets, and a scaled coil doesn’t just run inefficiently, it can freeze over in summer and ice up in winter. We clean and treat the surfaces that actually move air so your duct cleaning isn’t undone by a dirty blower pushing debris back through the system. HVAC Cleaning in Salt Lake City explains what’s included and what a coil cleaning costs as a standalone job.

What pushes a Salt Lake City job toward the high end is access: tight crawlspaces in older Avenues homes, finished basements with drywalled ceilings, and double-filter return setups that need extra time. Whatever the number, it’s written down before we touch a duct, and it doesn’t move when the technician finishes the walkthrough.
