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 Montclair, CA
Air duct cleaning in Montclair, CA typically costs between $450 and $950 for a complete whole-home cleaning, and most jobs wrap up in a single day. Montclair’s mix of 1950s through 1980s ranch homes and newer two-story builds means duct systems here vary wildly in condition, from original sheet metal runs to flex duct retrofits. We’re the local team that treats every Montclair home as its own project, not a template. Call (737) 727-2314 for a written quote before any work begins.
Why Montclair Homes Are Different
Montclair sits right where the Inland Empire heat collects, and that changes how ducts behave. Summer afternoons routinely push past 95 degrees, which means AC systems run long cycles and pull more air through the return side. Any gap in the ductwork, any filter left too long, any vent register choked with dust, and the whole system works harder. Homes near the 10 Freeway corridor, especially older properties in the northern neighborhoods, also deal with a steady film of road dust that settles into return registers faster than homeowners expect. Add in the Santa Ana wind season, and you get a specific combination: dry, gritty dust that packs into flex duct folds rather than blowing through. We open plenums in Montclair homes and regularly find quarter-inch dust blankets even in houses that changed filters faithfully. That’s the local reality, and it’s why a Montclair cleaning has to include the return side, not just the supply vents.
Our Main Montclair Services
We keep our Montclair service list deliberately short: three trades, each done thoroughly, each with a written price before the first tool comes off the truck. These are the jobs Montclair homeowners call us about most.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Montclair
Older Montclair homes tend to route dryer vents through crawl spaces and exterior walls at odd angles, which means lint doesn’t always exit the way it should. We run a Rotobrush rotary cleaner through the full vent run and finish with a Nikro HEPA vacuum so nothing drifts back into the laundry room. If the vent runs up through the roof, we handle that climb too. A clogged dryer vent isn’t a minor annoyance in a hot, dry climate; it’s a load-bearing fire risk. We clear it, show you the before-and-after photos, and give you a written report. See the full scope on our Dryer Vent Cleaning in Montclair page.
Air Duct Cleaning in Montclair
Whole-home air duct cleaning in Montclair means every supply and return register, every accessible branch line, the main trunk, and the plenum boxes on both ends. We use negative-pressure extraction with a Nikro HEPA vacuum, which means debris gets pulled straight into the containment unit instead of drifting back into your rooms. For homes with the original 1960s sheet metal ducting, we inspect seams and joints as we go, because those are the first places to leak conditioned air into the attic. Details and a full price breakdown live on our Air Duct Cleaning in Montclair page.
HVAC Cleaning in Montclair
HVAC cleaning in Montclair goes beyond the ducts themselves: we clean the blower motor, evaporator coil, condenser fins, and drain pan as one connected system. Dirty coils in Montclair’s summer heat mean longer run times and higher bills, because the system can’t shed heat efficiently. We remove the panel, document what we find, and restore airflow to factory intent. If your air handler sits in a garage or closet, expect us to lay down Abatement Technologies containment sheeting to keep the workspace clean. Read the full breakdown on our HVAC Cleaning in Montclair page.
