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 Lexington, MA
Air duct cleaning in Lexington, MA typically costs $350 – $650 for a standard single-system home, with most jobs completed in 3 – 5 hours. Lexington’s housing stock leans older – many Colonials and capes built between the 1950s and 1980s – so ducts haven’t just collected dust, they’ve collected decades of it. We’re the local air duct cleaning company that gives you a written price before a single register is touched. Call (737) 727-2314 for a free estimate.
Why Lexington Homes Are Different
Lexington’s population has grown steadily for 30 years, and that growth shows in the housing mix: original mid-century capes and Colonials sit alongside newer teardown rebuilds, with plenty of 1980s – 2000s construction in between. Each era has its own ductwork quirks. Older homes off Marrett Road and Worthen Road often run original galvanized ducting with joints that have loosened over decades of New England freeze-thaw cycles. That means gaps, leaks, and years of accumulated debris – not the light dusting you’d find in a newer build. Newer homes in the Hastings area and near the Arlington line tend to be tighter and better sealed, but that tightness means whatever gets into the ducts stays there, recirculating through the house.
Lexington’s tree canopy is another factor we see on nearly every job here. Mature maples and oaks surround many homes, especially in the Follen Hill and Five Fields neighborhoods, and their pollen, seed pods, and fine organic dust make their way into return grilles during the long New England pollen season. Combined with the humidity swings of a Massachusetts summer, that organic material can cake inside ducts and contribute to the musty smell many Lexington homeowners notice when the AC kicks on in June.
Our Main Lexington Services
Lexington homeowners call us most often for two services: whole-system air duct cleaning and dryer vent cleaning. Here’s how each works in a Lexington home.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Lexington
Lexington’s older homes often have long dryer vent runs – some stretching 15 to 25 feet from the laundry room to an exterior wall, with multiple elbows that trap lint at every bend. That’s a fire risk and also why so many Lexington dryers take twice as long to dry a load. We run a rotary brush through the full run and use Nikro HEPA extraction to pull loosened lint into the vacuum, not into your laundry room. For homes off Bedford Street or Concord Avenue with second-floor laundry rooms, we’ll check the full vertical rise for blockages. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Lexington is a standalone service with flat, whole-run pricing.
Air Duct Cleaning in Lexington
Whole-system duct cleaning in Lexington means accessing every supply and return register, creating negative pressure with a truck-powered HEPA vacuum, and running Rotobrush rotary agitation through the full duct network – negative pressure means the loosened debris goes straight into the vacuum, not back into your living room. In Lexington’s older Colonials, we commonly find 5 to 15 pounds of accumulated dust, pet dander, and construction debris from past renovations. Homeowners tell us the air feels lighter and the house smells noticeably fresher that same evening. Air Duct Cleaning in Lexington is our most-booked service in this market.
HVAC Cleaning in Lexington
HVAC cleaning goes beyond the ducts. In Lexington homes with furnaces and AC coils that haven’t been touched since installation, we clean the evaporator coil, blower motor, and drain pan, then treat the system with EPA-registered antimicrobial. This matters in Lexington because the humid summer pull from nearby conservation land means coils here grow biological growth faster than in drier climates. We recommend HVAC Cleaning in Lexington when the system hasn’t had a deep service in three or more years, or when you notice reduced airflow at the registers.

What pushes the price up in Lexington? Mostly access – older homes with tight basements, finished ceilings, or ductwork running through finished walls take longer to service properly. The number of returns also matters, since returns pull the most debris and need the most attention. Whatever the scope, you get a written price before any work starts, and that number doesn’t change at the door.
