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 Chino Hills, CA
Air duct cleaning in Chino Hills runs $380 – $690 for a typical 2,300 – 3,200 sq ft home, and most jobs take 3 – 5 hours with our HEPA extraction equipment. Chino Hills work has its own rhythm: stucco tract homes from the 1980s and 1990s that have never had their ductwork opened, sitting in hillside microclimates where Santa Ana winds push fine dust through every penetration. We’re Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning, part of the Relay Home Co. family founded in 2005, and our Chino Hills crews handle air ducts, HVAC systems, and dryer vents with upfront written pricing. Call (737) 727-2314 and you’ll get a live person, a real arrival window, and a price before any work starts.
Why Chino Hills Homes Are Different
Chino Hills sits in a wind corridor. When Santa Ana events roll through in fall, they carry a fine mineral dust from the Cucamonga foothills, and it settles inside return plenums and supply trunks in a way that coastal cities never see. Homes in Butterfield Ranch, Los Serranos, and Vila Borba were largely built between 1985 and 2005, which means flex ducts with aged inner liners that hold dust differently than the rigid metal you’ll find in newer Inland Empire builds. We regularly find construction debris inside ductwork in Rolling Ridge and Woodview properties, drywall dust and paint overspray from original builds that no filter has ever removed because it was sitting upstream of the filter housing the whole time. The terrain matters too: many Chino Hills homes on graded pads have long horizontal return runs through the slab or crawl, and those runs collect what the registers eventually discharge into bedrooms. English Springs and Payne Ranch houses with two-story open foyers also trap heat in upper supply branches, which means much finer particulate gets baked onto duct walls and needs more than a quick vacuum pass to lift it.
Our Main Chino Hills Services
Here are the three services Chino Hills homeowners call us about most, each with its own dedicated page that covers the job in depth.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Chino Hills
Chino Hills HOAs in developments like Butterfield Ranch typically require exterior vent terminations to stay clear and functional, and many of those vent runs are longer than code ideal because laundry rooms sit center-house. That lint load builds fast in a two-story run. We run a Nikro HEPA vacuum in negative pressure while brushing the full run from dryer to exterior cap. Full details are here: Dryer Vent Cleaning in Chino Hills.
Air Duct Cleaning in Chino Hills
Chino Hills dust is fine and wind-driven, which means it coats return trunks first and then migrates to supply branches. A standard cleaning here includes rotary brush agitation on every supply branch plus HEPA extraction, and we’re careful around the flex duct connectors in 1980s – 1990s tract homes. Full scope and pricing: Air Duct Cleaning in Chino Hills.
HVAC Cleaning in Chino Hills
HVAC cleaning in Chino Hills almost always runs past the ducts: blower wheels in Payne Ranch and Los Serranos systems carry a dense belt of dust and pet hair from years of continuous AC use, and evaporator coils need a wet cleaning before airflow returns to design. We open the air handler by the book, not shortcut. Details: HVAC Cleaning in Chino Hills.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning Company in Chino Hills
Most Chino Hills appointments are booked 3 – 5 business days out, depending on neighborhood and crew rotation. You’ll get a live trackable arrival window, not a four-hour block. Call (737) 727-2314 for current availability.
No. Air duct and HVAC cleaning are interior work that does not alter home exteriors, so Chino Hills HOAs do not require approval. Dryer vent work may involve the exterior cap, and we keep that replacement to an exact-match cap so HOA rules stay satisfied.
No. The Relay Standard arrival tracking and before-and-after photos are part of every booking by default, not an add-on. You get a written price before work starts, a live arrival window, and photo proof when the job is done, all through your phone.
If your ducts are overdue or you’re not sure, call (737) 727-2314. A live person answers, and you’ll get a straight answer on Chino Hills pricing before a single vent is touched.
