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 Calistoga, CA
Air duct cleaning in Calistoga runs $395 – $765 for a standard single-system home, with the final price confirmed in writing before we touch a single vent. Calistoga’s mix of 1940s bungalows, 1970s ranch homes, and newer wine-country estates means duct systems here vary wildly in condition, length, and accessibility. If you’ve never had your ducts cleaned, or it’s been five years or more, call Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning at (737) 727-2314 for a free estimate and a straightforward look at what’s actually inside your system.
Why Calistoga Homes Are Different
Ductwork in Calistoga works against two things at once: dry, dusty summers and the damp pull of fog that rolls down from Mount Saint Helena through the Napa Valley floor. That cycle of dust settling into return grilles and moisture promoting buildup in the cooler months means duct interiors here collect a particular kind of fine, gray particulate, not the heavy lint load you’d see in a coastal town. Homes off Foothill Boulevard and Silverado Trail sit closer to open scrub and vineyards, which brings finer airborne dust into the return air stream. Older Calistoga homes, the ones with pier-and-post foundations and original floor registers in the Lincoln Avenue corridor, often have ducts running through crawl spaces where gaps and loose seams pull in dirt from underneath the house. That’s a different job than a clean attic run in a 1990s subdivision. None of this requires a permit in Calistoga, and no HOA here restricts duct cleaning on private property, but the work itself changes depending on how your system was built.
Our Main Calistoga Services
Calistoga homeowners most often call us for dryer vent work and full air duct cleanings, with HVAC coil and blower cleaning running a close third as summer cooling season approaches. Each service has its own Calistoga page below with specific pricing and detail.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Calistoga
A clogged dryer vent in Calistoga is a house-fire risk that builds quietly, especially in laundry rooms along the back of older homes where the vent run is long and makes several turns before it exits a wall or roof. We remove the built-up lint, inspect the entire run for blockages, and verify proper airflow before we pack up. If your drying times have crept up or the outside vent flap barely moves when the dryer runs, that’s the vent telling you it needs attention. See the full detail on our Dryer Vent Cleaning in Calistoga page.
Air Duct Cleaning in Calistoga
We connect a Rotobrush rotary brush system to your duct runs while a Nikro HEPA-rated vacuum pulls negative pressure on the line, meaning loosened debris goes straight into the vacuum, not back into your living room. Calistoga homes on well water with water softeners often show a fine white dust in the ducts, salt particulate that a standard vacuum-only service won’t fully remove. The brush agitation plus HEPA extraction gets it out. Full scope and pricing are on the Air Duct Cleaning in Calistoga page.
HVAC Cleaning in Calistoga
When the evaporator coil and blower assembly sit dirty, your system pushes conditioned air through that grime all season, which costs you efficiency and recirculates the buildup. In Calistoga’s summer heat, a clean coil matters more than most homeowners expect. We clean the coil, blower, and surrounding cabinet with professional equipment, and we can quote replacement Aprilaire or Honeywell filtration upgrades if your current filter setup isn’t keeping up. Details are on the HVAC Cleaning in Calistoga page.
