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 Newark, NJ
Air duct cleaning in Newark, NJ typically runs between $450 and $850 for a full system on a standard single-family home, with most jobs completed in a single visit. Newark’s housing stock, much of it built before 1960, means duct systems have often been lived in for decades by the time we arrive. If you’ve got dust settling a day after you wipe the counters, give us a call at (737) 727-2314 and we’ll tell you exactly what a cleaning would involve.
Why Newark Homes Are Different
Newark’s homes put real mileage on HVAC systems. The city’s oldest neighborhoods, Forest Hill, Weequahic, and the Ironbound, are full of pre-war construction with original duct runs or retrofitted systems shoehorned into plaster walls and tight basements. That makes access harder than a suburban build, and it makes thorough cleaning more valuable. In the Ironbound’s three-family houses, each floor often shares a single trunk line, so dust and odors move between units whether you want them to or not.
Newark summers run hot and humid, which means AC systems here work harder and cycle more often than in coastal towns. More cycles mean more dust pulled through the return registers, and humidity in a duct system gives that dust something to stick to. Homes near Branch Brook Park and along the Passaic River sit on low, damp ground, and that moisture migrates into uninsulated ducts. Our techs routinely see rust and microbial growth in those systems, not because the homeowner did anything wrong, but because the geography works against metal ductwork.
Winters are the other half. Forced-air furnaces in Newark’s older housing often share equipment with the AC blower, so anything living in the ductwork gets baked and recirculated when the heat kicks on. Homeowners in the North Ward tell us the same story: the heat smells stale the first week of cold weather, and that smell is almost always dust build-up on the heat exchanger, burning off cycle after cycle.
Our Main Newark Services
The two services Newark homeowners call us for most are dryer vent work and full air duct cleaning, with HVAC system cleaning close behind. Each service has its own Newark page with full pricing and process detail.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Newark
Newark’s older homes often route dryer vents through basements and out narrow side alleys, which means longer duct runs with more bends than a modern build. Long runs collect lint faster, and in attached row homes, a clogged vent is a fire risk shared by the whole structure. We run rotary brushes through the full length of the vent and use negative-pressure extraction to pull loosened lint into our capture unit, not back into your laundry closet. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Newark runs $120 to $180 for most homes, completed within one visit.
Air Duct Cleaning in Newark
A full system cleaning covers supply and return sides, the trunk lines, and register openings throughout the house. In Newark’s three-family homes, we map the whole system first so each unit knows which registers are theirs and which are shared. We use Rotobrush rotary brush systems to scrub caked-on dust and Nikro HEPA vacuum units to pull debris out under negative pressure, meaning the loosened dirt goes into the machine, not back into your living room. Air Duct Cleaning in Newark is $450 to $850 for most homes.
HVAC Cleaning in Newark
HVAC cleaning here means cleaning the furnace or air handler, the evaporator coil, the blower assembly, and the accessible ductwork in one job. Newark’s older homes often have the blower and coil buried in a cramped basement utility closet, and that tight access is exactly why a professional setup matters, we bring Abatement Technologies containment so the job doesn’t coat your basement in whatever was living on the coil. HVAC Cleaning in Newark typically runs $500 to $1,100 depending on system size and access.

What pushes price up in Newark is almost always access. A three-family Ironbound row house with one shared trunk line takes longer to map and clean than a single-family home in the North Ward, and cramped basement utility closets slow the work down. That’s fine on our end, but you’ll know the number before we start. Every job gets a written price handed to you before a single duct is touched, and that number does not change at the door.
