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 Ardmore Homes Are Different
Ardmore sits in Lower Merion Township, where housing stock skews older and heating systems work hard through cold, damp winters. Many homes along Lancaster Avenue and the streets branching off it were built before forced-air systems were standardized, so ductwork is often retrofitted: narrow returns, tight bends, and runs that have been patched and extended over decades. That means buildup inside ducts here is rarely uniform. One bedroom might show light dust while a first-floor return carries decades of accumulated debris.
Humidity is the other factor. Ardmore’s summers push moisture through basements and crawlspaces, and when that air cycles through ducts, it carries fine particulate that sticks to duct walls. Homes near Mill Creek and the lower-lying streets around South Ardmore see more of this than homes up on the higher ground near Merion Golf Club. None of this makes a home unusual, but it does change how we approach a cleaning. Along Schauffele Place and in the tighter rowhomes near the R5 tracks, we often find dryer vents and supply ducts sharing cramped utility spaces, which means we plan equipment access differently. Our techs drive professional-grade equipment into Ardmore daily: Rotobrush rotary brush systems, Nikro HEPA-rated vacuum extraction, and Abatement Technologies containment units for homes where dust control is a real concern.
Our Main Ardmore Services
Ardmore homeowners most often call us for air duct cleaning and dryer vent cleaning, but HVAC cleaning rounds out the list for homes with combined or heavily used systems. Each service below has its own dedicated Ardmore page with full pricing and the exact process.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Ardmore
Dryer vents in Ardmore run through tight basements and older wall cavities, and lint accumulates faster when the vent path is long or has multiple bends. A clogged vent means longer dry times, a hotter dryer, and a real fire risk inside the wall. Our techs clean the full vent run from the dryer connection to the exterior termination, then show you before-and-after photos of the inside of the vent. The full breakdown is on the Dryer Vent Cleaning in Ardmore page.
Air Duct Cleaning in Ardmore
Whole-system air duct cleaning in Ardmore means dislodging the debris that has settled inside supply and return ducts, then pulling it out under negative pressure so it does not recirculate into your living space. We use a Rotobrush rotary brush to agitate the duct walls and a Nikro HEPA vacuum to extract everything that comes loose. In older Ardmore homes with plaster walls and original registers, we take extra care around fragile boot connections. See the full process and pricing on the Air Duct Cleaning in Ardmore page.
HVAC Cleaning in Ardmore
HVAC cleaning goes beyond the ducts to the components that move and condition the air: the blower motor, the evaporator coil, the drain pan, and the return plenum. In Ardmore homes where the air handler sits in a damp basement or a tight closet, coil buildup is common and cuts both airflow and efficiency. We clean the full air path and the equipment that drives it. Details and pricing live on the HVAC Cleaning in Ardmore page.
