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.

Why Burbank Homes Are Different
Burbank’s housing stock splits into two distinct worlds, and each one changes the job. The flats south of Olive Avenue and around Magnolia Park hold the city’s classic 1940s and 1950s bungalows, many still running their original or early replacement ductwork. Those galvanized steel ducts have spent 70-plus years collecting dust, construction debris from decades of remodels, and the fine grit that drifts in through open windows. Over in the Verdugo foothills, the post-1990 builds along North Screenland Drive and up near Brace Canyon Park tend toward wider, newer systems, but they sit closer to wildfire smoke and the fine particulates that settle into every return during fire season.
Two things make Burbank air duct work uniquely demanding. First, the 5 and 134 freeways wrap the city, and homes closer to the corridors accumulate brake dust and exhaust particulate far faster than homes in quieter pockets. Second, Burbank sits in a transitional inland climate with hot, dry summers and cool, damp winter mornings. That seasonal swing runs HVAC systems hard in August and then leaves moist air sitting in ducts during winter, which is exactly when dust, pollen, and pet dander bind into a stubborn, sticky film. A system that looks merely dusty on the register is often carrying a packed coating farther down the line.
Homes with pool equipment in the garage or laundry rooms venting toward the roofline face extra lint and humidity loading. We account for all of it when we quote, because Burbank jobs are never one-size-fits-all.
Our Main Burbank Services
Most Burbank homeowners call us for one of three services: air duct cleaning, HVAC cleaning, or dryer vent cleaning. Here’s what each one involves in this city.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Burbank
Burbank laundry rooms are tight. Many of the city’s older bungalows route dryer exhaust through short, angled runs that turn twice before exiting a wall or roof cap, and every bend is a place where lint builds fast. We run professional rotating brushes through the full span of the vent, then pair it with a HEPA vacuum so loosened lint goes straight into the machine, not back into your laundry room. For Burbank homes where the dryer sits against an interior wall with a long horizontal run, this is the highest-ROI maintenance you can schedule. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Burbank covers everything, including how we verify the job with before-and-after photos.
Air Duct Cleaning in Burbank
Burbank homes near the 134 and 5 corridors collect particulate at a rate that surprises homeowners. We clean the full supply and return side of the system, from the main trunk line down to every branch feeding a register. Our Nikro HEPA extraction units maintain negative pressure through the whole process, which means debris loosened by the brush travels directly into the vacuum rather than drifting back into living spaces. Homes in Burbank with pets, older windows, or recent interior remodels are the ones we see needing the most work. Air Duct Cleaning in Burbank explains pricing in detail, including what pushes a job above the standard range.
HVAC Cleaning in Burbank
Your furnace, evaporator coils, and blower motor move air across their surfaces every single time the system cycles. In Burbank’s dry summer months, dust plus static buildup coats those components quickly, and a dirty blower wheel can cut airflow by a third without you ever noticing. We clean the full HVAC unit, including the coil and blower assembly, using the same HEPA extraction standards we apply throughout the duct network. That is why many Burbank homeowners combine this with a full duct cleaning, so clean air moves through a clean path. HVAC Cleaning in Burbank spells out what is and is not included.

Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning Company in Burbank, CA
We quote one flat price per system before any work begins, and that price does not change at the door. Here are the typical ranges Burbank homeowners can expect.
| Service | Typical range in Burbank |
|---|---|
| Standard home air duct cleaning (up to 10 vents) | $450 – $650 |
| Larger home air duct cleaning (11 – 20 vents) | $650 – $950 |
| Furnace cleaning (blower motor and evaporator coil) | $180 – $320 |

| Supply and return grille replacement (per grille) | $20 – $45 |
| Duct patch or minor seal (per section) | $75 – $150 |
What pushes a Burbank quote toward the higher end of those ranges? Homes with a second story, duct runs that are long and hard to access, systems that have not been cleaned in a decade or more, and returns packed with construction debris from a past remodel. Every quote is a single written price for the whole system, so there is no per-vent add-on game and no surprise once the technician arrives.
